The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of ${\beta}GP$ in the remaining dental pulp tissue after pulpotomy in the dogs' teeth. For vital pulpotomy, 72 dogs' teeth were used and class V cavities were prepared and the pulps were amputated. ZOE and Dycal (Caulk Co., USA) were placed over the amputated tissue and cavities were sealed with ZOE cement in the control group. In the experimental group, ${\beta}GP$, ${\beta}GP$-ZOE, ${\beta}GP$-Dycal were placed over the exposed pulp tissues respectively. Dogs were sacrificed after 1, 2 and 4 weeks following the operations and the teeth were decalcified in the nitric acid, sectioned and stained with HE for light microscopic examination. For electron microscopic examination, specimens were made after 2 and 4 weeks following the operation. A comparative microscopic examination revealed as follows. 1. The dentin bridge was formed continuously due to osteodentin in the ${\beta}GP$-Dycal group at the 2nd week, the dentin bridge composed of osteodentin and tubular dentin was observed at the 4th week. 2. Osteodentin formation was vigorously in the ${\beta}GP$-Dycal than in the Dycal group. 3. In the surface of osteodentin the osteodentinoblasts showing vivid synthetic activity were observed and the matrix vesicles were presented during calcification of osteoid dentin matrix. 4. The dentin bridge formation was not observed in ${\beta}GP$ group and ${\beta}GP$-ZOE group.

The authors has observed the effect of X-ray irradiation on the dentin matrix formation of the albino rat fetuses. The lower abdomen of the pregnant ratswere exposed to X-ray on the 9 1/2th day of gestation, respectively 150, 250 and 350 rads. The fetuses of the right sides of the same pregnant rats which were not exposed to X-ray were as controls. The results were as follows: 1) In the 150 rads irradiated fetuses, predentin formation was identical with control groups, but the arrangement of odontoblasts was distorted, subodontoblastic layer was condesed with pulp cells and blood capillaries were enlarged. 2) In the 250 rads irradiation, dentin matrix was imperfact or osteodentin was occured. Short columnar or cuboidal odontoblasts were presented and pulp cells were dispersed. Blood capillaries were cogested. 3) 350 rads irradiated fetuses showed osteodentin matrix and numerous degenerated odontoblasts. Their dental papilla showed reticular atrophy and enlarged capillary.

본 연구는 상아모세포의 분화, 상아질의 형성, 치근 형성에 중요한 역할을 하는 NFI-C가 치아에 미치는 영향과 NFI-C 결손 생쥐에서 NFI-C와 TGF-${\beta}$의 신호전달물질인 Smad4의 발현양상을 알아보았다. 이를 위해 NFI-C 결손 생쥐치아를 광학 현미경과 면역조직적 화학방법을 사용하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. NFI-C 결손생쥐는 전치부의 경우 법랑질이 있는 치관 부위는 상아질이 정상적으로 형성되었지만 법랑질이 없는 설면 부위는 개방되어 있었고 뼈모양 상아질이 관찰되었다. 2. NFI-C 결손생쥐는 구치부의 경우 법랑질이 있는 치관 부위는 상아질이 정상적으로 형성되었지만 법랑질이 없는 치근부위의 치근은 짧아졌고 상아모세포의 수가 줄었으며 약간의 뼈모양 상아질이 관찰되었다. 이는 NFI-C결손이 상아모세포 분화에 영향을 끼쳐 비정상적인 치근을 만드는 것을 보여준다. 3. NFI-C 결손생쥐의 Smad4 발현은 정상 생쥐에 비해서 핵에 더 많은 발현을 보였다. 이는 Smad4가 NFI-C와 TGF-${\beta}$의 신호전달물질로서 그 사이에서 균형을 맞추면서 상아모세포 분화에 영향을 미친다는 것을 보여준다.

Six to eight-month-old female albino rats were used as experimental animals. As an irradiation equipment, a Co-60 was used. The experimental animals were divided to; 6 of the control group, 12 of the 500cGy single irradiation group, 12 of the 1000cGy fractionated irradiation group, and 12 of the 1500cGy fractionated irradiation group. From the first week to the forth, 3 rats were picked from each group every week to be sacrificed and fixed with formalin. Those rats were observed by means of H-E stain after being taken radiograph and decalcified. The analysis of radiographic findings and light microscopic findings gives results as follows: 1. The delay of dental eruption rate was found in every group which underwent the irradiation experiment. Dentin niche, osteodentin, and dentin island were formed in the parts which were damaged by the irradiation. 2. The longer the observation period was, the more deposit of osteodentin and dentin island was formed. 3. In the single irradiation group, the damage effect was in proportion to the increase of radiation dose, whereas the damage was much less in the fractionated group receiving the same dose. 4. The 500cGy single irradiation group got temporary repairable damage, while the 1000cGy single irradiation group got considerable damage and showed much slower eruption rate than the 500cGy single irradiation group. The basal portion of the 1500cGy single irradiation group, whose growth was arrested, was destroyed. 5. The fractionated group were irradiated 500cGy everyweek. Repair was visible during the interval periods. The damage was accumulated as irradiation repeated, but degree of damage was lower than that of the 1000cGy and 1500cGy single irradiation group.

외상이나 치주 질환, 유전적 결함 등에 의하여 치아가 상실되었을 경우, 보철 수복이나 임플란트로 치료하고 있다. 그러나 보철 수복이나 임플란트는 자연치가 아닌 인공치를 이용한 치료로서 기능성과 심미성 등에서 자연치에 비하여 한계가 있으므로 자연치를 이용한 이식 방법에 관심이 증가하고 있으며 치아 이식의 성공률을 높이기 위한 이식 치아의 발육과 성장에 대한 연구가 진행 중이다. 이 연구는 세 가지 단계의 치아싹을 발치와에 동종 이식하고 치아싹이 발육하여 석회화가 이루어지는지 평가하기 위하여 임신 15일과 17일, 출생 후 3일 된 흰쥐의 치아싹을 분리하여 11주 된 흰쥐의 발치와에 이식하고 4주와 8주 후 방사선학적 그리고 병리조직학적으로 석회화 과정을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 발치와에 이식된 임신 15일과 17일, 출생 후 3일 된 치아싹에서 4주와 8주 후 석회화된 조직이 형성되었다. 2. 임신 15일과 17일, 출생 후 3일 된 치아싹을 발치와에 이식하고 4주 후 치아종 같은 비정상적인 석회화 조직과 인접 치조골과 유착된 골양상아질이 관찰되었다. 3. 임신 15일과 17일 된 치아싹을 발치와에 이식하고 8주 후 골양상아질이 보였으며 치주인대로 둘러싸인 것도 관찰되었다. 4. 출생 후 3일 된 치아싹을 발치와에 이식하고 8주 후 골양상아질과 백악질이 형성되었다. 이 연구는 치아싹을 흰쥐의 발치와에 이식한 후 치아싹의 발육을 관찰한 것으로 이식 조직에서 크기가 작고 무정형의 석회화 조직이 형성되었다. 정상적인 치아보다 형태가 불규칙하고 발육이 늦었으므로 이식된 치아싹이 정상적인 치아 형태로 석회화되도록 하기 위해서는 이식 조직의 발육 정도와 이식 조직을 절제할 때 외과적 손상의 감소, 치아싹으로의 풍부한 혈류 공급, 이식 기간, 이식 조직의 고정을 고려하여 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

The author observed histochemically the nature of the calcified tissue in the rabbit dental pulp, induced by pulpal injection of potassium permanganate. The pulp of rabbit mandibular incisors were exposed and enlarged by a dental hand reamer. The exposed pulps were injected with 0.05ml of 20mM solution of potassium permanganate dissolved in Ringer's solution in experimental tooth. Also the control tooth received a pulpal injection of 0.05ml of Ringer's solution. After pulpal injection, the tooth was plugged with a gutta-percha root canal point. The staining techniques were hematoxylin-eosin stain, van Gieson stain, PAS reaction, toluidine blue stain, alcian blue-hematoxylin stain and colloidal iron-picric acid stain. The results were as follows: 1. The pulp on experimental tooth showed osteodentin-like calcified tissue. Also, in some areas, false denticle-like substance were observed. 2. The central portion of the calcified matrix showed metachromasia in toluidine blue stain had strong staining capacity in alcian blue stain. 3. The peripheral portion of the calcified tissue revealed marked van Gieson positive reaction for collagen. But their staining ability in alcian blue was slight and metachromasia was not appeared.

The author observed the effects of the cobalt-60 irradiation on the amelogenesis and dentinogenesis of the albino rat fetuses by means of histological and histochemical methods. Females in oestrus were mated overnight and examined the next morning for evidence of copulation. The lower left abdomen of mothers were exposed to cobalt-60 irradiation on the 10th day of gestation, l00R 200R and 300R respectively. The fetuses were removed from the mothers on the 18th day of gestation. The employed histochemical methods were PAS reaction, colloidal iron reaction, aldehyde fuchsin stain, α-amino acid reaction, -SH radical reaction and methyl- green pyronin stain. The results were as follows; 1. The group irradiated by l00R made no histological differences in comparison with the control group. 2. Increasing the irradiation to 200R, abnormal dentin formation occured, and resulted in enamel hypoplasia and in atrophy and necrosis of odontoblasts. In dentinal papilla, the dilation and the degeneration of the blood vessels, excessive reticular atrophy and osteodentin were revealed. 3. With the more irradiation (200R-300R), the positive material of PAS, α-amino acid and aldehyde fuchsin tended to decrease in the ameloblast and the odontoblast. No significant changes appeared in DNA, the stainability of methylgreen pyronin.

This study was undertaken to compare the histopathological effects of the fractionated doses of 2,400, 4,800 and 7,200 rads of Cobalt-60 irradiation on the teeth of the sixty eight rats (Wester strain), weighing approximately 130gm. They were devided into four groups; no irradiation as a control (Group I) and others (Group II, III, and IV) which received different doses of radiation using 1.25 Mev RAC-120 Cobalt-60 Teletherapy Unit with exposure dose rate 69 rads/min, TSD 80cm. Experimental animals received 600 rads every three days until the total dosage of their groups were reached. Experimental animals were sacrified at the 1st day, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th week irradiation. The following histopathologic findings were obtained: 1. The Group II, received 2,400 rads, showed no histopamologic changes essentially same as those of the control Group. 2. In the Groups III and IV, received 4,800 rads and 7,200 rads, disarray of the normal palasading arrangement of the odontoblastic cells, vacuolar degeneration in the odontoblastic layer, osteodentin and dentinal niches in the anterior teeth were observed. 3. There were no distinct changes in the posterior teeth in the Groups III and IV. 4. The ameloblast cells seemed to be less sensitive to radiation damage than the odontoblast cells.
