Purpose: This study want to draw conclusion based on data taken from national health insurance and determined the distribution and direction of patients treated at private clinics. Methods: The author's research spanned and compared the nationally insured patients by sexes, diagnoses, age groups and cases per year (2005, 2009, and 2013). Subjects were 3,536 patients of a private clinic in Seoul that were covered under national insurance. Results: There was no disparity across sexes nor cases, but both were on the decline. The most common dental conditions were pulpitis and dental caries at 38.4% and 16.4%, respectively. Both have decreased. Despite a drop in overall patients, the percentage of patients under 10 years old jumped substantially. Of overall age groups, teens were most prevalent at 33.5%, second and third being those in their forties and fifties (14.2% and 12.0%, respectively). Conclusions: The major illnesses that plague patients are pulpitis, dental caries, eruption disorder, gingivitis and periodontitis: the wane of pulpitis cases (a considerable percentage) and the actual numbers of patients has contributed to the general decrease in cases.

PURPOSE. The prospective follow-up aimed to assess the performance of lithium disilicate crowns and clinical reasons of adverse events compromising survival and quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS. 58 patients were treated with 375 heat-pressed monolithic crowns, which were bonded with resin cement. Annual recalls up to five years included a complete dental examination as well as quality assessment using CDA-criteria. Any need for clinical intervention led to higher complication rate and any failure compromised the survival rate. Kaplan-Meier-method was applied to all crowns and a dataset containing one randomly selected crown from each patient. RESULTS. Due to drop-outs, 45 patients (31 females, 14 males) with the average age of 43 years (range = 17-73) who had 327 crowns (176 anterior, 151 posterior; 203 upper jaw, 124 lower jaw) were observed and evaluated for between 4 and 51 months (median = 28). Observation revealed 4 chippings, 3 losses of retention, 3 fractures, 3 secondary caries, 1 endodontic problem, and 1 tooth fracture. Four crowns had to be removed. Survival and complication rate was estimated 98.2% and 5.4% at 24 months, and 96.8% and 7.1% at 48 months. The complication rate was significantly higher for root canal treated teeth (12%, P<.01) at 24 months. At the last observation, over 90% of all crowns showed excellent ratings (CDA-rating Alfa) for color, marginal fit, and caries. CONCLUSION. Heat pressed lithium disilicate crowns showed an excellent performance. Besides a careful luting, dentists should be aware of patients' biological prerequisites (grade of caries, oral hygiene) to reach full success with these crowns.

An epidemiological survey was carried out to identify the serotypes of Streplococcus mutans isolated from carious lesions of 65 caries-active subjects(CAS) and sound tooth surfaces of 40 caries-free subjects(CFS). The autoclaved antigen extract was performed on each isolate, and then, serotypes of the isolates were determined in agar-gel immunodiffusion test. The results were as follows: 1. S. mutans was found in 78% of the samples of CAS, and of CFS. The difference of isolation frequency between CAS and CFS was not observed. 2. Only one serotype per single subject was detected in 61% of total samples, in remaining 39% of samples two or more serotypes were detected. 3. In 41.2% of CAS samples plural serotypes of S. mutans were found, whereas 35.5% of CFS samples showed plural serotypes distribution. 4. The most frequently identified serotype in each subject was serotype c; 69.5% of subjects harbored serotype c S. mutans. Serotype d was next most frequently isolated from subjects, comprising 23.2%. 5. Serotype c strain was found in 64.7% of CAS, 77.4% of CFS. 6. Of the isolates from CAS and CFS, serotype c was most commonly found, comprising 48.8%, serotype d was found in 16.3%, serotypes f. e, and g comprising 13.2%, 9.3%, and 7.8% respectively. Serotypes a and b were also found but in far lower frequencies(2.3%, 0.8%). 7. Serotype c strains were more found in CFS than in CAS, but serotypes d and e were more found in CAS.

Purpose : The study objective was to assess the antibacterial activity of essential oil of basil against S. mutans and P. gingivalis and to explore its potential to prevent dental caries and peridontal disease. Method : Essential oil of basil, extracted using steam distillation, was diluted with triple distilled water and Tween 20 to generate samples at various concentration, that is 30%, 50%, and 70% (v/v). Strains of S. mutans and P. gingivalis were incubated in the medium under anaerobic condition. Broth microdilution susceptibility testing and plate incubation diffusion were utilized to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and to measure antibacterial activity, respectively. Result : An upsurge in antibacterial activity was seen to correlate with and increase in the concentration used for both bacterial strains, but was more significant with S. mutans. A statistically significant growth inhibition effect and reduction in the number of colonies was also observed with both strains dependent on the concentration used following 24 hours of incubation. Conclusion : Thus, the current study finding was that essential oil of basil was effective against dental caries and periodontal disease and could be used in dentifrice to help prevent oral disease.

This study is proposed to analyze statistically the causes of extraction of permanent teeth among outpatients who visited our dental department of Sung-Sim Hospital, Chung-Ang University from Jan. 29th 1979 to Nov. 30th 1980. the results are as follows. 1. The group of patients aged 25-34 had more number of extracted teeth than any other age group. 2. It was found that woman's (0.13) was more than man's(0.9) in average number of extracted teeth per patient. 3. In analyzing the causes of extraction, it was identified as caries 37.5%, periodontal diseases 27.2%, wisdom teeth 17.6%, for orthodontic treatment and impacted supernumerary teeth and others 8.0% trauma and fracture 4.2%. 4. The primary cause of extraction was found to be changed from caries to periodontal diseases according to the increase of age. 5. The number of teeth that were extracted by trauma was found that man's (38) was more than twice as much as woman's (17) and the group of patients aged 35-44 had the most number of all age groups.
