Background: Position of the facial foramina is important for regional block and for various maxillofacial surgical procedures. In this study, we report on anthropometry and morphology of these foramina using three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) data. Methods: A retrospective review was performed for all patients who have undergone 3D-CT scan of the facial skeleton for reasons other than fracture or deformity of the facial skeleton. Anthropometry of the supraorbital, infraorbital, and mental foramina (SOF, IOF, MF) were described in relation to facial midline, inferior orbital margin, and inferior mandibular margin (FM, IOM, IMM). This data was analyzed according to sex and age. Additionally, infraorbital and mental foramen were classified into 5 positions based on the anatomic relationships to the nearest perpendicular dentition. Results: The review identified 137 patients meeting study criteria. Supraorbital foramina was more often in the shape of a foramen (62%) than that of a notch (38%). The supraorbital, infraorbital, and mental foramina were located 33.7 mm, 37.1 mm, and 33.7 mm away from the midline. The mean vertical distance between IOF and IOM was 13.4 mm. The mean distance between MF and IMM was 21.0 mm. The IOF and MF most commonly coincided with upper and lower second premolar dentition, respectively. Between the sex, the distance between MF and IMM was significantly higher for males than for female. In a correlation analysis, SOF-FM, IOF-FM and MF-FM values were significantly increased with age, but IOF-IOM values were significantly decreased with age. Conclusion: In the current study, we have reported anthropometric data concerning facial foramina in the Korean population, using a large-scale data analysis of three-dimensional computed tomography of facial skeletons. The correlations made respect to patient sex and age will provide help to operating surgeons when considering nerve blocks and periosteal dissections around the facial foramina.

Background: Over the past 30-40 years, various carbon implant materials have become more interesting, because they are well accepted by the biological environment. The traditional carbon-based polymers give rise to many complications. The polymer complication may be eliminated through carbon fibres bound by pyrocarbon (carbon/carbon). The aim of this study is to present the long-term clinical results of carbon/carbon implants, and the results of the scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer investigation of an implant retrieved from the human body after 8 years. Methods: Mandibular reconstruction (8-10 years ago) was performed with pure (99.99 %) carbon implants in 16 patients (10 malignant tumours, 4 large cystic lesions and 2 augmentative processes). The long-term effect of the human body on the carbon/carbon implant was investigated by comparing the structure, the surface morphology and the composition of an implant retrieved after 8 years to a sterilized, but not implanted one. Results: Of the 16 patients, the implants had to be removed earlier in 5 patients because of the defect that arose on the oral mucosa above the carbon plates. During the long-term follow-up, plate fracture, loosening of the screws, infection or inflammations around the carbon/carbon implants were not observed. The thickness of the carbon fibres constituting the implants did not change during the 8-year period, the surface of the implant retrieved was covered with a thin surface layer not present on the unimplanted implant. The composition of this layer is identical to the composition of the underlying carbon fibres. Residual soft tissue penetrating the bulk material between the carbon fibre bunches was found on the retrieved implant indicating the importance of the surface morphology in tissue growth and adhering implants. Conclusions: The surface morphology and the structure were not changed after 8 years. The two main components of the implant retrieved from the human body are still carbon and oxygen, but the amount of oxygen is 3-4 times higher than on the surface of the reference implant, which can be attributed to the oxidative effect of the human body, consequently in the integration and biocompatibility of the implant. The clinical conclusion is that if the soft part cover is appropriate, the carbon implants are cosmetically and functionally more suitable than titanium plates.

Flexion of a metal/ceramic fixed partial denture(EPD) frameworks under function can cause fracture of porcelain or deterioration of the cement seal. This study evaluated the flexion characteristics of three-unit mandibular FPD frameworks, repacing the second pre-molar under compressive load(200g, 400g). Testing was accompished with real-time holographic interferometry, using 6 porcelain fused-to metal frameworks. Tested alloys were non-precious alloy(Heracles, Holland), semi-precious alloy(Degudent U, Germany) and precious alloy(Degudent H, Germany). Changes of the fringe patterns according to the heat treatment(porcelain firing cycle), various loads(200g, 400g), occlusal forms(occlusal porcelain veneering, facial porcelain veneering), various alloys and post-soldering units were compared. Dental study model(Nissan dental products, Inc. D51DP-500A, Japan) and six 3-unit metal/ceramic fixed partial denture frameworks were used as experimental materials. 36 holograms were taken on fixed dental study model by using the 10mW He-Ne laser and real-time holographic interferometry. On the basis of this study, the following conclusions can be drawn : 1. In the frameworks for facial porcelain veneering, the semi-precious alloy framework was least deformed and precious alloy framework, non-precious alloy framework orderly before heat treatment, and the deformation was not shown great difference among three alloys after heat treatment and post-soldering. 2. In the frameworks for occlusal porcelain veneering, the precious alloy framework was greatest deformed and the deformation was not difference between semi-precious alloy framework and non-precious alloy framework before, after heat treatment, and the deformation was not shown great difference among three alloys after post soldering. 3. In the non-precious alloy frameworks for facial porcelain veneering and occlusal porcelain veneering, the deformation was greatly decreased after heat treatment and conversely increased after post-soldering. 4. In the semi-precious alloy framework for facial porcelain veneering, the deformation was not detectable after heat treatment and increased after post-solder. And in the frame-work for occlusal porcelain veneering, the deformation was slightly decreased after heat treatment and increased after post-soldering. 5. In the precious alloy framework for facial porcelain veneering, the deformation was greatly decreased after heat treatment and increased after post-soldering, And in the framework for occlusal porcelain veneering, the deformation was greatly decreased after heat treatment and decreased after post-soldering.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the reasonableness of the medical fee on oral and maxillofacial surgery field according to surgeon's opinions and actual conditions. The medical fee has significant influence on hospital income, the supply and distribution of medical manpower, quality and facilities of medical services. Questionnaire survey was sent to 86 oral and maxillofacial surgeons who worked more than 3 years in general hospital. Among them, 25 doctors replied the 109 answers survey and the average of treatment time and physician work relative value on each category was calculated. And the health insurance cost (that has been applied since 2003) was compared with the questionnaire results. And finally we investigated items that health insurance system did not include in oral and maxillofacial field but actually performed in oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic. The result was that the medical fee did not properly reflect physician work relative value of actual treatments. In case of complicated extraction, work relative value needed 3.5 times enhancement of present value. For simple impacted tooth extraction 1.8 times, for impacted tooth extraction including odontomy 1.7 times, and for fully impacted tooth more than 2/3 of it located into the alveolar bone, 1.8 times enhancement needed. In respect of the present physician work relative value, hemimandibulectomy with neck lymph node dissection for the malignancy is appropriated as 3.3 times of open reduction and internal fixation for the mandibular fracture, but the questionnaire result showed 25 times discrepancy. In conclusion, this research shows the need for intervention that health insurance included items and legal relative medical value must act in union with treatment in clinic to reduce the imbalance between them.

구강악안면 영역에서의 외상에 의한 내악 동맥의 가성 동맥류는 극히 드문 병변으로 저자들은 서울 대학교 치과병원 구강악안면외과에서 1례를 치험하였다. 그 원인은 외상에 의한 하악 과두 골절, 관혈적 정복술시의 의원적 외상 또는 둘 다를 고려해 볼 수 있었으며 임상적으로 박동성 잡음,촉진 가능한 맥동이 있었고 술중 과다 출혈의 양상을 보였다. 병소는 혈관 조영술에 의해 확진되었으며, 색전술로 치료하였다. 가성 동맥류는 생명을 위협할 정도의 과다 출혈을 일으킬 수 있으므로 그 진단과 치료는 중요하다. 혈관 조영술은 임상적 증상에 대한 확실한 진단을 가능케 해 주며 이를 이용한 색전술은 관혈적 결찰법에 비해 장점을 가지므로 좋은 치료법이 될 수 있다.

Cantilever bridge is widely used by mny clinicians, but its worst mechanical character, so called Class I lever system, makes dentists hesitate to restore the missing tooth with it. Therefore it is important to study stress of the cantilever bridge. In this study, two models of cantilever bridges that restores the missing mandibular second molar with two abutment teeth were constructed. One model was a type of cantilever bridge supported by a normal alveolar bone, the other one was supported by an alveolar bone resorbed to its 1/3 of root length. Maximum bite force(550N) and funtional maximum bite force(300N) were vertically applied to the distal end of the pontic, distal 1/3, and distal half of the pontic. And each force was also applied to centric occlusal contacts as a distributed force. Total 16 loading cases were compared and analyzed with 3-dimensional finite element method. The results were as follows: 1. The stress was concentrated on the joint of the pontic and the retainer, grooves, and distal cervical margin of the posterior retainer. 2. In case of maximum bite force(550N) at the end of the pontic, the risk of fracture at the joint of the pontic and the retainer was high. 3. In case of distributed force in centric occlusion and functional maximum bite force(300N), the stresses were less than the yield strength of the type VI gold for any loading cases. 4. In case of alveolar bone resorption, the occlusal force to the cantilever pontic caused more stress on the root apex and less stress on the alveolar crest region of the distal surface of the posterior abutment. 5. In case of alveolar bone resorption, the displacement was larger than that of normal alveolar bone in all loading cases.

치아 및 치조골은 복합적인 구조이므로 치아의 함입이나 측방 탈구와 같은 치조와의 변위가 있는 다수 치아를 포함한 외상에서 치조골 골절이 동반될 수 있다. 치조골이 골절되면 치주인대 및 치수로의 혈행이 단절되어 치아의 합병증을 유발할 수 있고, 특히 유치열기 외상은 후속 영구치배에 손상을 줄 가능성이 있으므로 장기간의 관찰이 필요하다. 치아 및 치조골 골절의 치료 시에는 환자의 연령과 외상의 위치 및 범위, 유치의 변위 정도 및 방향을 고려해야하며, 골절편을 재위치 시키고 고정하기 위하여 아치바(arch bar), 레진-강선 고정, 교정용 밴드, 아크릴 또는 금속 캡 스플린트(acrylic or metal cap splint), 화이버 스플린트(fiber-splint) 등의 다양한 방법이 고안되었다. 본 증례는 외상으로 인하여 치조골이 골절되어 내원한 1세 11개월 된 환아로서 모형상에서 레진-강선 오픈 캡 스플린트(resin-wire open cap splint)를 제작하여 고정한 후 양호한 치료 결과를 얻었다. 이 방법은 부가적인 기공 과정이 필요하지만, 유치열기에서 사용할 수 있고, 시술시간이 짧아 비협조적인 환아에게 진정요법 없이 적용할 수 있으며, 일반적인 아크릴 캡 스플린트에 비해 부피가 작아 불편감이 적고, 교합을 방해하지 않으며, 접착시 시멘트가 빠져나갈 공간이 있어서 스플린트의 정확한 안착이 가능하다. 또한 비교적 통증이 적으며 침습적이지 않아 출혈이 없으므로 의과적문제가 있는 경우에도 사용할 수 있다.

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 레진계 치아고정 재료의 법랑질 치면 처리 방법에 따른 전단결합강도와 파절 양상을 비교 분석하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 레진계 치아고정 재료로 G-FIX, LightFix를 사용하였다. 시편 제작을 위해 소의 하악 절치 20개를 사용했다. 노출된 법랑질 표면을 4부분으로 구분하여, 각 분획 마다 37% 인산(E), 37% 인산+Adhesive resin (E+A), 37% 인산+G-premio bond (E+GP), G-premio bond (GP)로 각각의 치면 처리를 하고, 재료를 접착하였다. 만능 시험기를 이용하여 전단결합강도를 측정하였고, 시편의 파절된 표면을 현미경으로 확대하여 파절 양상을 관찰하였다. Two-way ANOVA를 이용하여 재료와 표면처리 방법 사이의 상호작용을 검증하였고 각 재료에서 표면처리 방법 사이의 비교를 위해 One-Way ANOVA test를 하고 Scheffe's test로 사후 검정 하였다. 각 표면처리 방법에서 재료 사이의 전단결합강도를 비교하기 위해 independent t-test를 하였다. 모든 통계는 95% 유의수준에서 진행하였다. 결과: 동요치 고정을 위한 G-FIX는 산부식만 시행한 후 재료를 적용해도 접착 레진을 추가적으로 사용했을 때와 유사한 전단결합강도를 보였으며 LightFix는 산부식을 시행한 후 접착 레진을 추가적으로 사용했을 때 가장 높은 전단결합강도를 보였다. 또한, G-FIX와 LightFix 모두에서 별도의 산부식 없이 자가부식 접착제만 처리했을 때 가장 낮은 전단결합강도를 보였다. 교호작용의 검증 결과 치아고정용 레진과 표면처리 방법 사이의 상호 연관됨이 관찰되었다. 파절 양상은 모든 군에서 대부분 혼합성 파절이 관찰되었다. 결론: 치아 고정용 레진인 G-FIX와 LightFix의 사용시 제조사의 지시와 같이 산부식만 시행한 후 재료를 적용해도 충분한 접착이 이루어질 것으로 생각된다.

목적: 포스트와 포스트 공간의 크기 불일치는 포스트 수복 중 흔히 발생하는 문제이며, 이러한 불일치는 섬유강화 복합레진 포스트의 결합강도에 영향을 미치기 때문에 이를 보상할 수 있는 적절한 접착 시멘트가 필요하다. 연구의 목적은 섬유강화 복합레진 포스트의 결합강도에 영향을 미치는 포스트 공간의 적합도와 접착 시멘트 종류에 따른 영향을 평가하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 발거된 30개의 하악소구치를 근관 치료한 뒤, 준비된 포스트 공간에 따라 Fitting (F)과 Mismatching (M)의 두 그룹으로 분류했다. 이들 그룹은 접착 시멘트 종류에 따라 다시 RelyX Unicem (ReX), Luxacore dual (Lux) 및 Duolink (Duo)의 세 가지 하위 그룹으로 추가로 분류했다. 이후 시편을 만들어 만능 물성 시험기 상에서 결합 강도를 측정했고 각 시편의 파절 양상을 관찰하여 분류했다. 결과: 실험의 결과로 ReX 및 Duo 하위 그룹에서는 F 그룹의 평균 결합 강도가 더 높았다. 그러나 Lux 하위 그룹은 F 그룹과 M 그룹 간에 큰 차이가 없었다. 파절 양상 분석에서 ReX 하위 그룹은 시멘트와 상아질 사이의 접착 실패만 관찰되었다. 결론: 본 연구 결과, 섬유강화 복합레진 포스트의 결합강도는 접착 시멘트의 종류, 포스트 공간과 포스트 직경의 불일치에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. Rex는 다른 접착 시멘트와 비교 시 유의하게 높은 결합강도를 보였다. 포스트 직경은 모든 그룹에서 F그룹이 M그룹보다 높은 결합강도를 보였으며, 이 값은 ReX와 Duo 두 그룹에서 유의한 것으로 나타났다.
