Purpose : To review developmental salivary gland defect based on 12 reported cases and literature, and to guide radiographic diagnosis of this entity. Materials and Methods : The 12 cases of developmental salivary gland defect of Chosun University Dental Hospital in the last 4 years were analyzed and compared with previous reported cases. Result : 11 of the 12 cases were found in men, indicating a very strong male predilection. The peak age was in the 6th decade. These defects were situated just above or at the inferior border of mandible between the first molar and the mandibular angle, and always Inferior to the mandibular canal. Only one case was superimposed with the mandibular canal, 6 cases were superimposed with the inferior border of the mandible. Conclusion : Characteristically, these defects had a special radiographic features such as ovoid shaped well-defined radiolucency located just above or at the inferior border of the mandible between the first molar and the mandibular angle, and always inferior to the mandibular canal. The recognition of these radiographic features were diagnostically valuable.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the morphologic features of posterior edentulous mandible for Korean patients using cross-sectional CT images. Materials and Methods: Computed tomographic cross-sectional views taken in 2004 and 2005 at Seoul National University Dental Hospital were analyzed by an oral and maxillofacial radiologist. Four indices were measured to meet the purpose of this study: 1) the horizontal distance between the alveolar crest and mandibular canal (Type), 2) the angle of the mandibular long axis (Angle), 3) the bucco-lingual location of mandibular canal, and 4) the depth of the submandibular fossa. The averages and standard deviations of the measurements were compared according to the location (the first and second molar area) and sex of the patients. Results: Statistically significant difference was found in Type, Angle, and submandibular fossa depth between the first and second molar area (p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between men and women in any of the measured indices. Most of the mandibular canals were located in lingual side of posterior mandible. Conclusion: More care should be taken when an implant is installed on the mandibular second molar area.

The aim of this study was to analyze various data of 120 non-submerged ITI implants placed in 64 korean adults. The data were retrieved from patients' charts and registered in the computer and coded for a statistical analysis. The results revealed that the most common type of edentulism was a distal extension case, and the largest number of implants were placed in the mandibular first molar position. Implants were placed more frequently in mandibular, posterior position than maxillary, anterior position, respectively. With respect to the implant diameter and length, an implant with 4.1mm in diameter and more than 10mm in length was the most common. Since a molar position was the most prevalent position for implant placement in korean patients, clinicians should be careful about implant diameter which can resist a strong occlusal force expected in the molar position. In addition, the distance to the mandibular canal and the floor of maxillary sinus should be considered to avoid possible damages, such as nerve injury and sinus perforation in selecting a proper implant length.

Pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption (PEIR)은 맹출 전 치아의 치관 내에서 나타나는 발달 상의 결함을 의미한다. 본 연구의 목적은 파노라마 방사선 사진의 미맹출 하악 제1대구치 협측 소와에서 PEIR로 의심되는 방사선 투과상과 맹출 중인 하악 제1대구치에서 협측소와의 수복 필요성과의 관계를 조사하는 것이다. 실험군은 맹출 중일 때 협측 소와에 한정된 수복이 필요한 병소가 관찰되었던 35개의 하악 제1대구치를 대상으로 하였고, 대조군은 맹출 후 건전했던 하악 제1대구치 64개를 포함하였다. 실험군은 대조군에 비하여 맹출 전 파노라마 방사선 사진에서 측정된 협측 소와의 크기가 통계적으로 유의하게 컸다. 실험군 내에서 성별, 나이, 치아형성단계, 수복 방법에 따른 협측 소와 크기의 유의한 차이는 없었다. Receiver operating characteristic 커브를 그렸을 때, 커브 아래 면적이 $0.813{\pm}0.047$으로 방사선 사진 상의 협측 소와 크기를 근거로 수복 필요성을 예측했을 때 중등도의 정확성을 보였다. 파노라마 방사선 사진에서 맹출 전 하악 제1대구치의 협측 소와 부위에서 방사선 투과상이 관찰되는 경우 임상적으로 PEIR을 의심하고 주기적인 관찰과 맹출 후 검사가 필요할 수 있다.

There has been so much controversies about the position of upper and lower jaws, and their first permanent molars in normal occlusion and Angle's class $I{\cdot}II{\cdot}III$ malocclusions. So, the purpose of this study is to compare the position of upper and lower jaws, and their first molars in normal occlusion and Angle's class $I{\cdot}II{\cdot}III$ malocclusions by lateral cephalometric analysis. The sample consisted of one hundred and twenty girls(thirty in each group) who had completed growth. The findings of this study were as follows : 1. In class I malocclusion, both maxilla and mandible were slightly posterior position than normal occlusion, but they showed harmonious relationship. 2. In class II malocclusion, the mandible was greatly retruded, and the maxilla was also slightly retruded to the cranial base as compared with normal occlusion. 3. In class III malocclusion, the maxilla was significantly retruded to the cranial base, but no significant difference was found in mandibular position as compared with normal occlusion. 4. The maxillary first molar was located at posterior position in class II malocclusion, and anterior position in class III malocclusion to the cranium, so that the rotation of mandible was influenced by that. 5. The mandibular first molar showed constant relationship to the mandible in all four groups, but different position to the cranial base in direct proportion to the mandibular position. 6. On the treatment planning of class III malocclusion, it seems to be better to promote the mandibular horizontal growth by inhibiting the vertical growth of maxillary molar area, and on the treatment planning of class III malocclusion, it seems to be better to promote the antero-inferior growth of maxilla mi to promote the mandibular vertical growth by inducing the vertical growth of maxillary molar area.

The authors have taken the x-ray films of carpal bone and orthopantomographs in Korean children to research the degree of ossification of carpal bone, that of calcification of tooth in jaw bone, the eruption rate of tooth, and the completion rate of apical foramen, and have compared the bone age and tooth age. We have gained a series of intersting conclusions to dare to report. 1. The ossification of carpal bone and the growth of tooth had processed proportionally to each other. 2. Both the bone age and tooth age were earlier in the female than in the male. 3. The completion of tooth crown formation and that of tooth root formation had processed proportionally to each other, and the general tendency of process was the earliest in the mandibular first molar and the latest in the second molar. 4. The eruption of tooth was the earliest in the mandibular first molar. The other teeth had erupted in the following orders: the central incisor, the lateral incisor, the first premolar, the second premolar, the canine and the second molar.

The author invested the gonial angle, the angle of mandibular and mental canal to the lower border of the mandible, and a relationship of the position of the mandibular canal to the root apex of the posterior teeth and the cortical plate of the lower of the mandible. The materials consisted of 458 pantomograms in male and female aged 11-40 and divided into 5 groups at 5 year intervals and subdivided into 3 groups by gonial angle. The results were as follows; 1. The gonial angle decreased with age, but slight increase occurred over 26-30 years. 2. The average angle of the mandibular canal to the lower border of the mandible was 151.6° and did not correlate with age. 3. The average angle of the mental canal to the lower border of the mandible was 36.9° and didn't correlate with age. 4. The angles of mandibular and mental canal to the lower border of the mandible correlated with gonial angle. 5. The distance from the root apex of the posterior teeth to the upper wall of the mandibular canal was most short at the region of the distal root of the mandibular second molar and increased with age at the region of the mandibular second molar. 6. The distance from the lower wall of the mandibular canal to the cortical plate of the lower border of the mandible was most short at the region of the mesial root of the mandibular first molar and didn't correlate with age.

Background: Complications following impacted third molar surgery significantly affect patients' quality of life during the immediate postoperative period. This study aimed to achieve the proper anesthesia method by comparing the effect of the application of lidocaine alone with the application of lidocaine and articaine simultaneously in reducing the complications during and following impacted mandibular third molar surgery. Methods: The study design was a split-mouth double-blind randomized clinical trial. The study was conducted on 13 patients (26 samples) referred for elective surgical removal of bilateral impacted mandibular third molar with similar difficulty on both sides. Each patient underwent similar surgical procedures on two separate appointments. Each patient randomly received 2% lidocaine for conventional inferior alveolar nerve block and 4% articaine for local infiltration before the surgery on one side (group A) and 2% lidocaine alone (for both block anesthesia and infiltration) before the surgery on the other side (group B). Intraoperative and postoperative variables for both groups were established and statistically analyzed. Results: The findings showed that pain on the first day after surgery in group A was significantly lower than that in group B. The patients in group A mentioned experiencing less discomfort following the surgery. The increased horizontal swelling on the first and third days following surgery and oblique swelling on the seventh day in patients in group B were statistically significant. Conclusion: Choosing an appropriate anesthetic drug for oral surgery, specifically impacted third molar surgery, is dependent on the clinician's opinion, however; it seems that the combination of lidocaine and articaine may control the patient's pain significantly better than lidocaine alone.
