A benign cementoblastoma, which is another name for a true cementoma, is a rare neoplasm that develops from odontogenic ectomesenchyme. It is characterized by a mineralized mass attached to the apex of the root produced by neoplastic cementoblasts. More than 75% of cases arise in the mandible, with 90% of them manifesting in the molar and premolar regions. This neoplasm occurs most commonly in children and young adults, with males being affected slightly more than females. Radiographically, the tumor is observed as a well-defined radiopaque mass that is fused to a tooth root and is surrounded by a radiolucent rim. The treatment of benign cementoblastoma consists of removal of the lesion and extraction of the affected tooth. This report presents an unusual case of benign cementoblastoma in a 31-year-old female, presenting as a densely mineralized mass seen at the apex of the impacted right mandibular canine tooth on radiographs.

If the centric prematurity occurs after orthodontic treatment, it creates centric slide regarded as a possible factor in the cause of temporomandibular disorder and/or postorthodontic relapse. The purpose of this study was to investigate the manner of centric prematurity and centric slide in postorthodantic patients. The 36 orthodontic patients who had been treated with edgewise appliance at least 3 mouths previously were used in this study. After recording centric relation by the leaf gauge technique, the centric prematurity and centric slide were studied using SAM2 articulator and mandibular position indicator. The results were as follows : 1. The highest percentage of centric prematurities were found on the second molars. 2. The buccal incline of the palatal cusp was the most frequent area of centric prematurities in the maxilla, while the lingual incline of the buccal cusp was the most frequent area in the mandible. 3. There were no trends in the direction of centric slide on the mandibular position indicator. 4. There were no significant differences in centric discrepancies between the premolar extraction and nonextraction group.

Premolars show the greatest variation in development and eruption. The present case report identified characteristics of eruption of maxillary premolars with delayed development. Multiple maxillary premolars with delayed development were found to have a palatal ectopic eruption pattern, which was self-corrected through eruption guidance by extraction of preceding primary teeth at the stage of root development when eruption force was maximal. In addition, delayed eruption due to delayed development was substantially improved by eruption guidance. Early erupted premolars with less than 1/3 of root development were induced to have normal root development using stabilizing appliance. The maxillary premolars with delayed development reported in the present study showed no complications such as impaction, space loss by delayed eruption, or insufficient root development.

The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness and complications of corticotomy and piezocision in canine retraction. Five electronic databases (PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Embase, and CENTRAL) were searched for articles published up to July 2017. The databases were searched for randomized control trials (RCTs), with a split-mouth design, using either corticotomy or piezocision. The primary outcome reported for canine retraction was either the amount of tooth movement, rate of tooth movement, or treatment time. The secondary outcome was complications. The selection process was based on the PRISMA guidelines. A risk of bias assessment was also performed. Our search retrieved 530 abstracts. However, only five RCTs were finally included. Corticotomy showed a more significant (i.e., 2 to 4 times faster) increase in the rate of tooth movement than did the conventional method. For piezocision, both accumulative tooth movement and rate of tooth movement were twice faster than those of the conventional method. Corticotomy (with a flap design avoiding marginal bone incision) or flapless piezocision procedures were not detrimental to periodontal health. Nevertheless, piezocision resulted in higher levels of patient satisfaction. The main limitation of this study was the limited number of primary research publications on both techniques. For canine retraction into the immediate premolar extraction site, the rate of canine movement after piezocision was almost comparable to that of corticotomy with only buccal flap elevation.

With modification of the acid etch technique and improvements of the physical and mechanical properties of the acrylic resin, the removal of directly bonded attachments and the finishing of the underlying enamel have become an acute clinical problem. This study was to evaluation the efficacy of recently introduced instrumentation and techniques to remove bonded brackets and residual resin, and restore the affected enamel surface to an acceptable clinical condition. Fortyeight premolar which were scheduled for extraction for orthodontic purposes were bonded with brackets using super-C ortho. Four additional premolars with untreated surfaces were used as controls. After one weak the brackets were removed and the residual resin removed by hand scaler, green stone, green rubber wheel, sandpaper disc, tungsten carbide bur, Sof-lex disc. Half the experimental teeth were given a final pumicing and then all were extracted and stored in 50 percent ethanol. The scanning electron microscopy was used to evaluated the enamel surface. Following results were obtained; 1. A satisfactory result was obtained by means of the Sof-lex disc. 2. The order of the scratch formation was the procedure using hand scaler, green atone, tungsten carbide bur, sandpaper disc, green rubber wheel, and Sof-lex disc. 3. The procedures using green stone and tungsten carbide bur showed many groove formations and the other procedures showed none. 4. final pumicing serves effectively to remove residual adhesive and restore the enamel surface.

Patient with alveolar abscess due to dental caries with severe alveolar bone loss, severe tooth mobility, root resorption need extraction of tooth because it is impossible to carry out pulp treatment and restoration by using conventional method. Early loss of primary molar might cause masticatory interference, extrusion of opposing tooth, problem in maintaining space and interference on eruption of permanent tooth. Especially, early loss of primary second molar before the eruption of permanent first molar might cause space closure by mesially erupted permanent first molar and impaction of second premolar. In such a case, distal shoe space maintainer and removable space regaining appliance was the first choice of treatment. But, distal shoe space maintainer need precise adaptation and might cause chronic inflammation if the oral hygiene is poor. In a case using removable space regaining appliance, patient's cooperation is most important. If the distal root of primary second molar is comparably sound and alveolar abscess with alveolar bone loss is localized at mesial root, hemisection should be carried out for precise guide to eruption of the permanent first molar, restoration of masticatory fuction and solution to the discomfort of the patient

A 16-year-old male presented with pain in the right posterior mandible on chewing that had lasted for several months. The radiographic features of the lesion included a radiolucent-radiopaque mixed-density mass with a radiolucent rim attached to the root of the mandibular right first molar. The preliminary radiographic diagnosis was benign cementoblastoma, which was confirmed by histopathological examination following surgical excision. The lesion recurred 3 years after treatment; radiographically, it consisted of 3 round foci with mixed radiopacity, each with a radiolucent rim near the root of the mandibular right second premolar and the edentulous postoperative region. The lesion was diagnosed as recurrent benign cementoblastoma and a second surgery was scheduled. This report presented an unusual case of recurrent benign cementoblastoma following surgical excision and extraction of the involved tooth, along with a literature review on reported cases of recurrent benign cementoblastoma with a focus on its clinical features and the best treatment options.

경제력의 향상과 식생활의 서구화, 사회적 인식의 변화 등으로 인하여 교정치료의 수요는 증가하고 내원하는 환자들의 부정교합의 양상도 점차 변화하고 있다. 본 연구는 개원한 교정치과에 내원하는 교정환자들의 역학적 자료를 제공함으로써 교정환자들의 특성과 요구를 파악하고 전공의들의 교육과정에 도움이 되고자 시행되었다. 이를 위하여 2003년부터 2006년까지 서울시내 교정전문치과 4곳에 내원하여 두부방사선계측사진과 모형분석 등 진단분석 과정을 거친 환자 1,620명을 대상으로 부정교합의 양상과 연령대, 발치빈도와 악교정 수술빈도 등을 조사 연구하였다. 조사 결과, 전체 교정환자들 중 남자는 26.9%, 여자는 73.1%로 여자가 많았다. 연령별 분포에서 만 13세 이후의 내원 환자는 78.9%, 만 19세 이후의 환자는 59.0%였으며, 평균연령은 20.5세였다. Angle 부정교합 분류별 분포는 Class I 부정교합이 38.9%, Class II div 1은 34.8%, Class II div 2는 2.3%, Class III 부정교합은 24.0%였다. 발치빈도의 경우 전체 교정환자들 중 발치환자가 60.9%, 비발치환자가 39.1%였으며, 발치를 시행한 환자 중 상하악 제1소구치를 발거한 경우가 46.0%를 차지하였다. 악교정수술환자의 비율은 10.2%였다. 교정치과에 내원하는 성인환자, II급 부정교합 환자와 악교정수술 환자의 비율이 높기 때문에, 이에 따라 교정교육과정과 보건정책에도 변화가 필요할 것으로 생각한다.

본 연구의 목적은 periodontal distraction을 통해 급속 견인된 치아의 치조골과 치주인대에서 일어나는 변화를 조직학적으로 관찰하고, 치주조직이 정상적으로 재생될 수 있는지를 규명하는 것이다. 4 마리의 성견을 대상으로 하여, 좌우 상악 제2소구치를 발치 후에 상악 제1소구치 원심측 치간골에 홈을 주는 치조골 수술을 통해 골 저항을 약화시키고 제1소구치와 제3소구치에 periodontal distraction 장치를 장착하였다. 장치는 0.225mm씩, 하루에 2회 활성화시키며 상악 제1소구치를 발치와 공간으로 급속 견인하였다. 치아의 급속 견인은 5 일, 10 일, 20 일간 시행하였으며, 20 일간 견인한 대상에서는 2 주, 4 주, 8 주 후까지 유지기간을 두었다. 20 일간의 periodontal distraction을 통해 상악 제1소구치는 평균 5.02mm 원심 이동하였고, 고정원인 제3소구치는 0.58mm 근심 이동하였다. 조직학적 검사에서 distraction된 치주인대 공간에서는 골 재생과 개조가 빠르게 일어나, 견인 10일에 유골조직이 치아의 견인방향에 평행하게 생성되었고, 새로운 골 조직의 형성과 골 개조를 통한 골 성숙은 periodontal distraction 방향을 따라 활발히 진행되었으며, 이는 다른 골의 distraction osteogenesis에서 나타나는 결과와 비슷하였다. 급속 견인된 치아의 치주인대는 상당히 넓게 나타났고, 교원섬유와 치아간의 정상 관계는 급속 견인이 끝난 후 2주에 나타나기 시작하여 8주에 거의 회복되었다. 그러나, 치주인대의 골 쪽에서는 치아 급속 견인 후 8주까지도 새로운 골이 계속 형성되고 있었고, 교원섬유속이나 Sharpey 섬유는 보이지 않았다. 고정원으로 이용된 치아 주위의 조직반응은 통상적인 교정치료에서와 같이 압박 측에서의 골 흡수와 신장 측에서의 골 형성 소견을 나타냈다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, periodontal distraction을 통한 치아의 급속 견인 시, 치주인대 조직은 잘 반응하여 치주조직의 재생이 활발히 일어남을 알 수 있었다.
