Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of bone and soft tissue. This aggressive form of chondrosarcoma represents only 3% to 9% of all chondrosarcomas. This neoplasm is characterized by sheets or clusters of undifferentiated spindle or round cells surrounding discrete nodules of well-differentiated cartilage. We experienced a case of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma on mandibular body. Two years ago, the patient had been treated the intrabony cystic lesion on mandiblular left body. At that time, cartilage portion was not detected in the cystic specimen. Two years after cyst enucleation, the recurred large neoplasm in the mandibular left body was noted, and it was diagnosed as 4.5 cm sized mesenchymal chondrosarcoma. The mandibular tumor was widely resected and rigid-plate and cervical musculocutaneous flap were used for reconstruction of resected bone and soft tissues. No complications and recurrence were noted for 6 months postoperatively.

Dental implant has become one of the important option for completely or partially edentulous patients, But it is challenging to reconstruct the severely atrophic ridge. Insufficient bone volume could restrict to place the wide and long implant and because of excessive interocclusal clearance, improper prosthetics could be produced. In this case bone augmentation for implant dentistry is necessary procedure to improve the insufficient bone volume. Therefore, bone augmentation or GBR is the most important procedure for successful implant placement and for ideal crown- root ratio. There are various bone augmentation techniques have been introduced recently; like block bone graft, distraction osteogenesis, inlay graft, onlay graft, etc.... In severe bucco-lingual resorption area, ridge splitting is the first choice of the treatment, because it provides a place for implantation and also has compaction effect. This technique may be indicated for sharp mandible and maxillary ridges in patients whose bone quantity is inadequate for primary stabilization. We report that the clinical experience of bone augmentation using ridge splitting technique in bucco-lingual bone resorption area.

방사선골괴사증은 발병율이 낮아지고는 있으나 발병시 여전히 치료가 힘든 합병증이다. 방사선골괴사증의 병인 및 치료에 대해서는 논쟁이 계속되고 있으나 그 과정에서 새로운 시도와 개발이 진행되고 있어 고무적이라 할 수 있다. 방사선골괴사증은 치유기전의 문제이며 임의적으로 발병할 수 있어 완전한 예방은 불가능하다. 그러나 앞서 언급한 위험요소들을 주의깊게 인지하고 방사선 치료 전 예방적인 치과치료, 조심스런 발치 및 발치 후 충분한 치유기간, 구강 위생 교육, 예방적 항생제의 사용 등을 철저히 함으로써 발병 위험을 줄일 수 있다. 이 질환은 발병시 자발적으로 치유되지 않으며 보존적 치료로 개선이 되지 않을 시에는 적절한 외과적 개입이 필수적이다. 외과적 개입시에는 방사선골괴사 병소뿐 아니라 환자의 나이, 건강상태 및 환자의 바램, 암종의 예후등도 함께 고려해야 한다. 본 교실에서는 2명의 방사선골괴사증 환자에 대해 비록 장기간의 치료가 시행되었지만 비교적 양호한 치유결과를 얻을 수 있었기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical applicability of a ridge splitting technique for reconstruction of narrowed edentulous alveolar ridges for dental implantation. 41 patients with 47 edentulous areas were included in this study. After corticotomy of a rectangular buccal segment and about 3-4 weeks healing period, the alveolar ridge was splitted, implant was placed. The initial ridge width varied between 2.5 and 7.0mm, average was 3.99mm. 68 dental implants were placed, and the gap between the implants and the bone is filled with various bone graft material, or none. All splitted sites showed sufficient bone volume for insertion of the implants at the moment of implantation. Over 1 year of follow-up period, five implants(7.3%) had mobility in two patients, among them, 2 implants(2.9%) sustained infection and removed. And any other complications were not noted. Our conclussion is that ridge splitting of the narrow edentulous area is a reliable and safe procedure in horizontally deficient ridges.

Introduction: The fibular free flap is now considered as the first choice for long mandibular discontinuity defect. In spite of its good bone quality for implant installation, its diameter is too narrow to rehabilitate the masticatory function with implant installation. In this report, distraction osteogenesis was used for the augmentation of bone to install the dental implant in the mandible which was reconstructed with a vascularized fibular free flap. Patients and Methods: Three patients undertook the vertical augmentation of grafted fibular bone and dental implants were installed. On the day 8 post-surgery, the activation of the distractor was started at the rate of 1 mm twice a day. The total amount of distraction was 15 mm in two patients and 12.5 mm in one patient. Twelve implants were installed in three patients. Dental implants were simultaneously installed during removal of the distraction device in two patients. In one patient, the implant installation was delayed after device had been removed. All three patients showed the symptoms of mild to severe postoperative infection during the activation and consolidation. However, the distracted site showed undisturbed bone regeneration. Conclusion: The distraction osteogenesis showed the reliable results for the vertical augmentation of fibular bone which was used for the mandibular reconstruction. However, the great tendency of postoperative infection must be considered and clinically controlled.

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.

Esthetic reconstruction of cleft lip nose deformity is a challenging task in surgical management of patients with orofacial cleft. The author reconstructed cleft lip nose deformity effectively using autogenous auricular cartilage and a relatively new graft material of porcine dermal collagen, $Permacol^{TM}$. After correction of the deformed lower third of the nose with patient's auricular cartilage, we applied $Permacol^{TM}$ to augment the entire nasal dorsum. Three patients were treated and followed for up to five years. All patients improved in nose aesthetics without any inflammatory or immunogenic reaction. The author suggests that the use of $Permacol^{TM}$ for nasal profile augmentation in the treatment of cleft lip nose deformity is an alternative surgical strategy with minimal surgical invasiveness. The author report long-term experience with combined use of auricular cartilage and $Permacol^{TM}$ in nasal reconstruction for cleft lip nose deformity.
