Objectives: This study aimed to compare the postoperative pain and clinical performance after partial pulpotomy by using ProRoot MTA and Endocem MTA. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight teeth requiring partial pulpotomy due to deep dental caries or traumatic injury were included in this study. After 2mm removal of exposed pulp and bleeding control, the ProRoot MTA or Endocem MTA was randomly adjusted to the exposed site. 1, 2, 4, and 12 weeks after the final restoration, the patients were recalled to check the postoperative pain or another unfavorable signs. Pearson's chi-square test was used for statistical analysis to evaluate any differences among tested materials. Results: 3 of 28 teeth showed postoperative pain and cold positive during follow-up period (10.7%). There were no statistically differences in pain occurrence between two tested materials (P > 0.05). Conclusions: In the limitations of this study, partial pulpotomy by using Endocem MTA showed the advantages of short setting time and lower postoperative pain incidence, allowing one visit treatment.

Fracture of the crown in a permanent incisor is relatively common. When it occurs with pulp exposure, it presents both restorative and endodontic problems. In the restoration of a fractured incisor, reattachment of the original fragment or restoration with a composite resin is preferred over a temporary crown. If fractured fragment is intact, the tooth can be restored with reattachment of the fragment. An exposed pulp in a young crown-fractured incisor is usually treated with either pulp capping or pulpotomy depending on the size of an exposure and time elapsed since injury. However, in teeth showing vital and/or hyperplastic pulp tissue at the exposure, only superficial layers of the pulp and surrounding dentin should be removed : i.e. partial pulpotomy can be performed in immature as well as mature teeth. This paper reports 2 cases of crown-fractured permanent incisors with pulp exposure that had been treated by reattachment of original fragment followed by partial pulpotomy or partial pulpectomy. The following results are obtained. ; 1. Fragment reattachment is an acceptable semi-permanent restoration of crown fractured young permanent incisor. 2. Partial pulpotomy is recommended as the treatment of choice in crown-fractured permanent teeth with pulp exposure.

혼합 치열기 및 초기 영구치열기의 소아, 청소년에서 외상에 의한 치관 파절은 빈번하게 발생한다. 치관파절은 치수의 노출 유무에 따라 단순 치관파절, 복잡 치관파절로 분류된다. 치수가 노출된 복잡 치관파절의 경우 치수에 대한 고려 및 처치가 필수적인데, 초기 영구치열기에는 전치부 치근의 발육이 완전히 이루어지지 않았기 때문에 완성된 치근을 가지는 치아보다 치료가 복잡하다. 치료의 목적은 적절한 치수 치료를 통해 치근의 완성을 도모하는 것으로 이를 위해 직접 치수복조술, 부분 치수절단술, 치경부 치수절단술의 방법을 이용한다. 이 중 부분 치수절단술은 성공률도 높으며 치경부 치수를 보존하기 때문에 여러 장점을 지니는 치료방법이다. 복잡 치관파절을 주소로 내원한 환자에서 부분 치수절단술을 시행하여 양호한 결과를 나타내어 이를 보고하는 바이다.

치수치료의 주요한 목적은 구강조직의 본래의 건강을 유지하는 것이며, 치수치료 시 가장 중요하고 어려운 점은 치수조직의 건강상태 또는 염증의 정도를 결정함으로써 최선의 치료방법을 결정하는 것이다. 미성숙 영구치는 풍부한 혈류 공급으로 다양한 손상에 성공적으로 반응하게끔 치수의 능력을 향상시킴으로써 많은 치수치료 술식을 위한 좋은 조건을 가지고 있다. 기저재(base) 또는 이장재(liner), 간접 치수복조술, 직접 치수복조술, 그리고 치경부 치수절단술을 포함한 여러 종류의 보존적인 치수치료가 미성숙 영구치를 위해 추천되어 왔다. 근래에는 외상으로 인하여 치수노출된 영구절치를 치료하는데 있어 주로 제시된 부분 치수절단술(partial pulpotomy)이 우식으로 인해 치수노출된 영구대구치를 치료하는 또 다른 술식으로 제안되고 있다. 부분 치수절단술 후 치아가 다음의 criteria를 만족시킬 때 치유가 되었다고 결론지었다. 1. 임상적 무증상 2. dentin bridge 형성의 방사선학적 증거 3. 방사선상에 치수내 또는 치근단 병소가 없다는 증거 4. 지속적인 치근 발육과 미성숙 치아의 치근첨 형성 5. 성숙된 치아에서 정상적인 상아질의 축적 6. 전기치수검사에서 양성 반응 이에 저자는 미성숙 영구치에서 우식 또는 외상으로 인한 치수노출시 부분 치수절단술을 행하여 양호한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

The left tusk of Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) was splitted longitudinally and its middle portion avulsed by slip. The pulp was exposed and bled. A loosened tusk fragment continued to irritate its sulcus. We performed a partial pulpotomy and pulp capping. We filled the wide space between the loosened tusk fragment and the counterpart with zinc oxide eugenol and zine phophate cement but it was failed, and then we fastened the loosened tusk fragment to the counterpart by gauze and plaster. The ollsened tusk fragment grew to drop 100 days after the insult and main portion with pulp capping was healthy.

이 연구의 목적은 우식에 의해 치수가 노출된 영구대구치에서 Biodentine™(BD)과 RetroMTA^®(RMTA)의 치수복조재 및 stainless steel crown(SSC)와 composite resin(CR)의 최종수복재를 적용하여 치료한 부분치수절단술 증례들의 임상 및 방사선학적 비교 평가를 통해 각 치수복조재 및 최종수복재가 치료 결과에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이다. 영구대구치의 상아질의 우식으로 진단되어 부분치수절단술을 받은 소아 및 청소년을 대상으로 경과관찰 기간이 1년 이상인 증례를 선정하여 임상적 평가 및 방사선학적 평가를 통해 치료의 성공률을 평가하였으며 각 성공률에 대해 Fisher's exact test로 통계 분석하였다. 치수복조재에 대한 평가에서 BD이 RMTA에 비해 더 높은 치료 성공률을 보였다(p < 0.05). 치수복조재의 종류와 관계없이 최종수복재를 평가하였을 때 SSC으로 수복했을 때 CR으로 수복한 경우에 비해 더 높은 성공률을 보였다(p < 0.05). 치수복조재로 RMTA를 사용하고 최종수복재로 CR을 사용한 경우에 가장 낮은 성공률을 보였다(p < 0.05).

The restorative management of deep carious lesions and the preservation of pulp vitality of immature teeth present real challenges for dental practitioners. New tricalcium silicate cements are of interest in the treatment of such cases. This case describes the immediate management and the follow-up of an extensive carious lesion on an immature second right mandibular premolar. Following anesthesia and rubber dam isolation, the carious lesion was removed and a partial pulpotomy was performed. After obtaining hemostasis, the exposed pulp was covered with a tricalcium silicate cement (Biodentine, Septodont) and a glass ionomer cement (Fuji IX extra, GC Corp.) restoration was placed over the tricalcium silicate cement. A review appointment was arranged after seven days, where the tooth was asymptomatic with the patient reporting no pain during the intervening period. At both 3 and 6 mon follow up, it was noted that the tooth was vital, with normal responses to thermal tests. Radiographic examination of the tooth indicated dentin-bridge formation in the pulp chamber and the continuous root formation. This case report demonstrates a fast tissue response both at the pulpal and root dentin level. The use of tricalcium silicate cement should be considered as a conservative intervention in the treatment of symptomatic immature teeth.

For dental pulp treatment of immature permanent teeth, direct pulp capping or partial/cervical pulpotomy (apexogenesis) procedures can be used if the dental pulp is vital. MTA (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) is regarded as the first choice dressing material for these procedures because its higher success rate. It can be also used successfully for devitalized dental pulp which has been treated by calcium hydroxide. This apexification procedure with MTA has a few advantage such as short treatment period and increase of resistance against root fracture. Recently, regenerative endodontic treatment was introduced for devitalized immature pulp. It can maintain pulp vitality and lead to continuing root development although the dental pulp was devitalized.

유치열에서 드물게 관찰되는 삼중치는 세 치아의 비정상적인 융합으로 나타난다. 몇몇 문헌들에서 이중치에 대해 보고하고 있지만, 삼중치에 대한 보고는 매우 드물다. 이러한 다중치는 유치열에서 더 흔하게 관찰되며, 몇 가지 임상적 문제점을 나타낸다. 심미적인 문제 뿐만 아니라 치아 우식증 및 파절에 취약함, 영구 치배의 결손, 교정적, 치주적 문제를 야기할 수 있으며, 복잡한 치아 구조로 인해 치수 치료를 어렵게 한다. 첫 번째 증례는 만 1세 7개월 남아의 상악 유전치부에 나타난 삼중치로, 깊은 우식으로 치수 치료가 필요할 것으로 예상되었고, Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA)를 이용하여 부분 치수 절단술을 시행하였다. 두 번째 증례는 만 1세 9개월 남아의 하악 유전치부에 나타난 삼중치로 파절을 주소로 내원하였다. 파절편 조각을 제거한 뒤, 잔존 치아에서 치수 절제술을 시행하였다. 각각 24개월, 6개월간의 정기 검진시까지 특별한 합병증은 나타나지 않았으며, 수복물 또한 비교적 양호하게 유지되었다.

Objectives: This study evaluated the effect of adjacent gingival blood flow on detection of pulpal blood flow (PBF) using ultrasound Doppler flowmetry (UDF) through animal study. Materials and Methods: The study included 36 right and left maxillary the third incisors and canines in 9 experimental dogs. The study included 2 main steps: In the first step, the pulse sound level (PSL) was recorded on the cervical part of each tooth without flap elevation (Group 1), with flap elevation (Group 2), and after it was repositioned in place (Group 3). In the second step, the PSL was recorded on the cervical part of each tooth (Group 4), after pulpotomy (Group 5), after partial pulp extirpation (Group 6), after complete extirpation (Group 7), and after canal filling (Group 8). In Groups 5-8, the study was performed with and without flap elevation in the left and right teeth, respectively. The PSL was graded as follows: 0, inaudible; 1, heard faintly; and 2, heard well. The difference between each group was analyzed using Friedman's test with Wilcoxon signed-rank tests (α = 0.05). Results: In step 1, the PSL results were Group 1 > 2 and 3. In step 2, there was no significant difference between the groups when the flap was not elevated, while PSL results were Group 4 > 5 ≥ 6 and 7 ≥ 8 when the flap was elevated. Conclusions: PBF is affected by gingival blood flow when measured with UDF. UDF measurements require isolation of gingiva from the tooth.
