Introduction: Bone defects in the jaw are frequently observed after odontogenic cyst enucleation. The success of bone healing appears to be related to the size of the bone defect, the anatomical location, the patient's age and other parameters. The use of bone grafting material is dependent on the operator's preference. No evidence-based definite treatment protocol has been established. This study evaluated the effect of a bone graft into the defect after odontogenic cyst enucleation. Materials and Methods: A total of 55 patients, who had been treated for an odontogenic cyst with cyst enucleation from 2000 to 2009 at the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Samsung Medical Center, were included in this study. Patients who were followed-up for more than 1 year were included. Two groups were defined according to the bone graft (with or without a bone graft) after cyst enucleation. The differences in the healing periods and patterns of bone healing were compared clinically and radiologically. The postoperative 1 year radiographs were analyzed for bone healing and density. Statistical analysis was performed using a Pearson chi square test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Results: More infection signs were observed in the bone graft group than in the other group, but there was no statistically significant difference. Radiographically, there was also no significant difference in the size of the radiolucent lesions between the two groups. Conclusion: There was no significant difference in healing between the groups with a bone graft and without bone graft after cyst enucleation.

The purpose of this study was to isolate and identify the bacteria in chronic maxillary sinusitis (CMS) lesions from 3 patients and to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of them against 10 antibiotics. One of them was odontogenic origin and the others were non-odontogenic origin. Pus samples were collected by needle aspiration from the lesions and examined by culture method. Bacterial culture was performed in three culture systems (anaerobic, CO2, and aerobic incubator). Identification of the bacteria was performed by 16S rRNA gene (16S rDNA) nucleotide sequencing method. To test the sensitivity of the bacteria isolated from the maxillary sinusitis lesions against seven antibiotics, penicillin G, amoxicillin, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, cefuroxime, erythromycin, clindamycin, and vancomycin, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was performed using broth dilution assay. Our data showed that enterobacteria such as Enterobacter aerogenes (30%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (25%), and Serratia marcescens (15%) were predominately isolated from the lesion of non-odontogenic CMS of senile patient (70 year old). Streptococcus spp. (40.3%), Actinomyces spp. (27.4%), P. nigrescens, M. micros, and P. anaerobius strains were isolated in the lesion of odontogenic CMS. In the lesion of non-odontogenic CMS, Streptococcus spp. (68.4%), Rothia spp. (13.2%), and Actinomyces sp. (10.5%) were isolated. The susceptibility pattern of 10 antibiotics was determined according to the host of the bacteria strains ratter than the kinds of bacterial species. Even though the number of CMS was limited as three, these results indicate that antibiotic susceptibility test must be accompanied with treatment of CMS. The combined treatment of two or more antibiotics is better than single antibiotic treatment in the presence of multidrug-resistant bacteria in the CMS lesions.

Infections of the oral and maxillofacial region are one of the most common conditions for which a patient presents to a maxillofacial surgeons. Although these infections can arise from a variety of source, dental disease is the most common etiology. So, odontogenic infection are frequently encountered in the practice of oral and maxillofacial surgery. These infections often respond to antimicrobial chemotherapy or surgical intervention, such as extraction of teeth, incision and drainage through clinical features. But, odontogenic infections have the potential to spread via the fascial spaces in the head and neck region, and, they spread to cavernous sinus, deep musculofascial space and other vital structure. We have undertaken clinical studies on infections in the oral and maxillofacial regions by analyzing retrospectively hospitalized patients in the Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Chonbuk National University Hospital past 5 years from 2000 to 2004. And, the patients' age, sex, medical history, causes of the infection, surgical intervention, and other clinical parameters were reviewed. The obtained results were as follows : 1. The most frequent cause of oral and maxillofacial infection was odontogenic. And in the odontogenic cause, dental caries was the most common cause (47.2%). 2. The most common fascial space involved was the submandibular space (15.7%), followed by the buccal space (14.8%). 3. 60.4% of all patients required surgical drainage of the abscess, endodontic treatment or tooth extraction or periodontal treatment with drainage. 4. The most causative organism isolated from the pus culture were streptococcus viridans (53.9%). 5. Underlying medical problems were found in 136 patients (41.9%), the most common being hypertension (27.9%) and diabetes (14.7%).

Most purulent maxillofacial infections are of odontogenic origin. Treatment of infection includes the surgical intervention, such as incision and drainage, and adjunctive treatment. The use of high-dose antibiotics is also indicated. The choice of an antibiotics should be based on the knowledge of the usual causative microbes and the results of antibacterial sensitivity test. We have undertaken clinical studies on 119 patients in Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Inha University Hospital from January 2000 to December 2007. Many anaerobic microbes are killed quickly when exposed to oxygen. Thus the needle aspiration techniques and the transfer under inert gas were used when culturing. The aim of this study was to obtain informations for the bacteriologic features and the effective antimicrobial therapy against maxillofaical odontogenic infections. The obtained results were as follows: 1. The most frequent causes of infections were odontogenic (88.3%), and in odontogenic cause, pulpal infections were the most common causes(53.8%). 2. The buccal and submandibular spaces (respectively 23.5%) were the most frequent involved fascial spaces, followed by masticator spaces (14.3%). 3. The most common underlying medical problems were diabetes (17.6%), however the relation with prognosis was not discovered. 4. The complications were the expiry, mediastinitis, necrotizing fasciitis, orbital abscess, and osteomyelitis. 5. The most common admission periods were 1-2 weeks, and the most patients were discharged within 3 weeks. However, patients who admitted over 5 weeks were about 10%. 6. A total of 99 bacterial strains (1.1 strains per abscess) was isolated from 93 patients (78.2%). The most common bacterium isolated was Streptococcus viridans (46.2%), followed by $\beta$-hemolytic group streptococcus (10.1%). 7. Penicillins (penicillin G 58.3%, oxacillin 80.0%, ampicillin 80.0%) have slightly lower sensitivity. Thus we recommend the antibiotics, such as glycopeptides (teicoplanin 100%, vancomycin 100%) and quinolones (ciprofloxacin 90.0%) which have high susceptibility in cases in which peni cillin therapy failed or severe infections.

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic ability in differentiating between ameloblastoma and odontogenic keratocyst according to the imaging modalities and observers. Materials and Methods: We evaluated thirty-six cases of ameloblastomas and forty-seven cases of odontogenic keratocysts all histologically confirmed. Six oral and maxillofacial radiologists diagnosed the lesions by 3 methods: using panoramic radiograph, using computed tomograph (CT), and using panoramic radiograph and CT. The observers were classified by 3 groups: group 1 had experienced over 10 years in oral and maxillofacial radiologic field, group 2 had experienced for 3-4 years, and group 3 was in the process of residentship. After over 2 weeks, the observers diagnosed them by the same methods. Results: The ROC curve areas except for group 3 were the highest with interpretation using panoramic radiograph and CT, followed by interpretation using CT only, and the lowest with interpretation using panoramic radiograph only. The overall difference was not found in diagnostic ability among groups in using panoramic radiograph only, but there was difference in diagnostic ability of group 1 and 2 vs 3 in using CT only, and combination panoramic radiograph and CT. Conclusions: To differentiate between ameloblastoma and odontogenic keratocyst more accurately, the experienced oral and maxillofacial radiologist should diagnose with combination of panoramic radiograph and CT.

악골에서 다수로 발생하는 낭은, 단독으로 발생하는 낭에 비해 매우 드물게 나타난다. 증후군을 동반하지는 않고, 악골 내에 다수의 낭이 발생한 경우를 다발성 악골낭 이라고 하는데, 소아에서 발생하는 다발성 악골 낭의 대부분은 각화낭성 치성종양(Keratocystic odontogenic tumor, KCOT)이다. 소아에서 나타나는 악골의 다발성 각화낭성 치성종양은, 기저세포모반증후군의 한 증상으로 발생할 수 있으므로, 악골의 방사선 사진에서 다발성 낭이 발견되면, 증후군을 의심해보고 임상 및 병리 검사를 하게 된다. 본 증례는, 다발성 악골 낭을 주소로 내원한 소아환자들로, 기저세포모반증후군을 의심하였으나 현재까지 증후군의 다른 증상들은 보이고 있지 않으며, 단지 수년간에 걸쳐서 종양의 재발과 수술을 반복하고 있는 경우이다. 악골의 다발성 낭 이외의 기저세포모반증후군의 증상들이 나타나지 않더라도, 나이가 들면 증후군의 다른 증상들이 나타난 경우의 보고도 있으므로, 소아에서 이러한 다발성 치성종양이 관찰되면, 지속적으로 방사선 및 임상 검사를 시행하여 증후군으로의 진행 여부를 관찰하는 것이 중요한 것으로 사료된다.

석회화 치성낭은 비교적 드문 낭으로 하나의 독립된 유형의 치성 병소로 인정받고 있지만, 조직학적 소견이 다양하고 분류체계도 학자들마다 다르다. 석회화 치성낭의 이장상피는 중층편평상피로 되어 있으며, 상피층 내에 특징 세포인 유령세포가 출현한다. 유령세포들은 인접한 결합조직 에 치성조직을 유도할 수 있는 능력을 가지고 있어 법랑모세포종, 법랑모세포 치아종, 법랑모세포 섬유치아종, 치아종 등의 치성종양이 합병되어 발생하기도 한다. 외과적 제거 후 재발율은 적지만 치성종양이 병발될 경우가 있기 때문에 반드시 조직병리학적 검사를 수행하여야 한다. 7세 남아가 상악 좌측 중절치의 미맹출을 주소로 원광대학교 치과병원 소아치과에 내원하였다. 방사선 사진에서 맹출되지 않은 상악 좌측 중절치 및 측절치 치관 상방에 방사선 불투과성 물질이 보였다. 초기 임상적 방사선학적 검사 결과 치아종으로 진단하였으며, 외과적 적출 및 생검을 시행하였다. 적출물은 불규칙적인 석회화 물질로 구성된 복잡 치아종 양상을 보였으며 상피조직으로 싸여 있었다. 조직병리학적 검사 결과, 이장상피에서 유령세포의 군집이 관찰되었고, 석회화 조직은 법랑질, 상아질 형태의 조직들이 혼합된 양상을 보여, 복잡 치아종을 동반한 석회화 치성낭으로 진단하였다. 본 증례에서와 같이 매복치 상방의 치아종 양상의 병소가 관찰되었을 때 석회화 치성낭의 가능성을 염두에 두어야 할 필요가 있다.

급성 상악동염의 원인으로는 급성 상기도 감염이 가장 흔하며 함치성 낭종 등의 치성원인에 의한 경우는 상악동염의 10-12%를 차지한다. 함치성 낭종은 주로 치과에서 우연한 방사선학적 검사에 의해 발견되며 소아에서는 드물게 보고되고 있다. 함치성 낭종이 과잉치와 동반되었을 때 주위 상악골의 파괴와 치근의 흡수를 야기하거나 침범된 치아의 변위를 유발할 수 있으므로, 조기 진단과 적절한 치료가 중요하다. 본 증례에서 콧물과 코막힘으로 부비동염으로 진단받았던 9세 남자 환아가 2개월 뒤 좌측안면부 연부조직염으로 내원하여 시행한 방사선학적 검사에서 좌측 상악동에 과잉치와 동반된 함기성 낭종이 관찰되었으며, 치료로 외과적 절제술을 시행하였다. 저자들은 소아에서 부비동염의 원인으로 과잉치를 동반한 감염된 함치성 낭종을 경험하였으며, 부비동염의 진단과 치료에 있어 항생제 치료로 호전되지 않거나 증상이 지속될 시 단순 상기도감염 합병증 외에 다른 질환의 감별을 고려할 것을 당부하는 바이다.
