This paper describes that invasive aspergillosis was found in oral cavity, especially in lower molar periodontium in a immunocompromised 34-year-old woman who had been admitted in hemato-oncology with the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia. Antifungal therapy and surgical excision of involved teeth, bone and gingiva were the treatment of choice. After treatment infected area was healed very well. We would like to report our case because we could not find any paper reporting on invasive aspergillosis occurring in lower molar periodontium.

Trauma from occlusion causes apparent changes in the blood vessels of the periodontal ligament. The initial response is primarily mechanical, due to compression, and secondarily characterized by necrotic changes. Recently, many investigators are concerned with vascular changes in relation to the loss of the alveolar bone. Author observed vascular changes of the periodontium in the experimental trauma from occlusion on rats. The results were observed as follows.: 1) There were no remarkable changes in the gingiva. 2) The blood vessels that normally occupied a position closer to the bone surface showed a displace-ment toward the cemental surface due to trauma from occlusion. 3) There were no appreciable changes of the alveolar bone in the initial period of trauma from occlusion, whereas there was excessive resorption of the alveolar bone in the long range.

This is to determine the possibility of penetration of evaporated mercury to periodontal tissue after amalgam filling. Class 5 cavities on upper canine, total 40 teeth from 10 dogs, were prepared and amalgam alloy which contain about 10 Ci of radioactive mercury were inserted. The animals were sacrificed after the experiment. The teeth were routinely decalcified, sectioned, autoradiographed by means of emulsion and stained by H & E. 1. Blackened grains were found along collagen fiber space underneath gingival sulcus floor. 2. Mercury particle deposited more at cervical portion of periodontium than apical portion. 3. Blackened grains were found along the Sharpey's fiber. Crest bone side was more evident than cement side. 4. Mercury penetration to periodontium of non-experimented tooth showed almost same findings as experimented one.

A two dimensional finite element method was used to analyze the changes in mechanical behavior of the supporting structures when a fixed prosthesis replaced a mandibular 1st molar. In the unrestored situation as the degree of bone resorption increased, there was a corresponding increase in stress in the periodontium. Tilting of the molar abutment induced the additional stress on the mesial side of the root. The presence of a fixed prosthesis markedly reduced the magnitude and distribution of stress in the periodontium. The mechanical advantage obtained by a fixed prosthesis was greater in the situation of a tilted 2nd molar with reduced bone support than with the higher bone levels.

A two dimensional finite element model was constructed to analyze the mechanical behavior of four unit fixed partial dentures (FPD) with a 2nd premolar abutment either employing a rigid or nonrigid connector and a 2nd molar abutment(Branemark implant, IMZ implants and natural tooth). Gap elements were used to model the clearance space of the nonrigid connectors and each components of implants. All FPDs with a implant abutment alter the patterns of stress distribution and displacement, but the magnitude of stress in the periodontium was not greater than that of the control. A FPD with rigid connectors induced the smaller stresses in the periodontium than a FPD with a nonrigid connector. A FPD with a Branemark implant exhibited the more desirable mechanical stress states as compared to the IMZ implants with IME or IMC.
