과잉치는 영구치열 및 유치열에서 발생하는 치아 발육 장애이다. 원인은 명확하게 밝혀지지 않았으나 치판의 과도한 활성으로 인해 발생한다는 이론과 환경적 요인으로 인해 치배가 두 개로 나눠진다는 이론 등이 제시되었다. 과잉치의 발생은 유치열보다는 영구치열에 호발하며 전상악부에 높은 빈도로 발생한다. 과잉치가 발생한 위치나 형태에 따라 분류할 수 있으며 정상적인 형태를 나타날 때 보충치(supplemental tooth)라고 명명하기도 한다. 과잉치 발생시 치아의 맹출 장애, 총생, 정중이개, 인접치의 회전이나 흡수, 낭종 등의 합병증을 야기할 수 있으므로 조기 발견 및 진단이 중요하다. 과잉치의 처치는 형태나 위치, 치열에 미치는 영향 그리고 환아의 심리적 상태 등을 고려하여야 한다. 본 증례에서는 방사선학적 검사와 임상 검사를 통해 상악의 과잉 유구치를 진단하였다. 하지만 어떤 치아가 과잉치인지 진단하기가 어려웠다. 적절한 공간 형성과 과도한 공간 소실을 방지하기 위하여 악궁의 근심에 위치한 치아를 발거하여 양호한 결과를 얻었다.

유치열기의 3급 부정교합은 조기 치료가 추천되지만 정확한 진단이 쉽지 않다. 3급 부정교합의 골격성 특성과 치아 발육상태 사이에 연관성이 있다면 골격성 3급 부정교합의 감별 진단을 위한 평가 항목으로 치아성숙도가 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 유치열기의 골격성 혹은 비골격성 3급 부정교합으로 진단받은 환아를 대상으로 치아 석회화도 및 제 1대구치의 맹출률을 비교, 분석하여 상하악의 치아성숙도 차이가 유치열기 3급 부정교합의 감별 진단시 평가 항목으로 사용될 수 있는지 알아보기 위한 목적으로 시행되었다. 전치부 반대교합을 주소로 부산대학교 치과병원 소아치과에 내원한 유치열기 아동 중 비골격성 3급 부정교합군 18명과 골격성 3급 부정교합군 34명을 연구대상으로 선정하였다. 파노라마 방사선사진상에서 치령 및 제1대구치 맹출률을 비교, 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 골격 및 성별에 따른 역령과 치령의 차이는 존재하지 않았으며, 두 군 모두 역령에 비해 치령이 높게 나타났다(p < 0.05). 비골격성군과 골격성군의 상하악 맹출률의 차이는 각각 16.53%, 18.91%로 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보여(p < 0.05), 3급 부정교합의 감별 진단을 위한 평가 항목으로서 제1대구치 치아성숙도의 활용 가능성을 시사한다.

Numerous chemical agents have been developed to reduce the activity of cariogenic bacteria. Of these, chlorhexidine is acknowledged as the most effective. Gel and mouthrinse have been the traditional method of its application in the mouth. It has been reported that chlorhexidine varnish has prolonged inhibitory effect on the number of streptococcus mutans in saliva and plaque. Recently, chlorhexidine varnish and polyurethane sealant have been developed to promote prolonged anticariogenic effect of chlorhexidine. Products containing 10% chlorhexidine varnish and polyurethane sealant have been developed to prevent caries by reducing the number of streptococcus mutans in the oral cavity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the inhibitory effect of chlorhexidine varnish and polyurethane sealant on streptococcus mutans in the primary dentition. Children with primary dentition containing no active carious lesion were divided into two groups. To the experimental group (n=11), chlorhexidine varnish and polyurethane sealant ($Chlorzoin^{(R)}$, Knowell Therapeutic Technologies, Inc. Canada.) was applied once a week for four weeks according to the manufacturer's instruction. Only oral prophylaxis was performed on the control group(n=7). Caries activity was measured after using $Cariescreen^{(R)}$SM (Knowell Therapeutic Technologies, Inc. Canada,) to incubate streptococcus mutans before and 5, 12, 24 weeks after initial varnish application. The following results were observed.; 1. There was statistically significant decrease in the number of streptococcus mutans in the experimental group for 5 weeks(P<0.01), 12 weeks(P<0.05) after the initial application. but, by 24 weeks significant difference had disappeared. 2. As the inhibitory effect of chlorhexidine varnish and polyurethane sealant application is not everlasting, reapplication at 12-24 weeks should be needed.

Amelogenesis imperfecta patients suffered common clinical problems of poor esthetics, teeth sensitivity, and loss of occlusal vertical dimension. Amelogenesis imperfecta is a group of inherited disorders primarily affecting dental enamel. Variants of amelogenesis imperfecta generally classified hypoplastic, hypocalcified, or hypomaturation types based on the primary enamel defects. The mildest problems were found in the pitted hypoplastic type whereas the most severe problems were encountered in the hypocalcified type amelogenesis imperfecta. Management stragies include composite resin veneer and jacket crowns for anterior teeth as well as steel crowns for posterior teeth. Knowledge of the clinical features and dental complications of each variants if amelogenesis impecta helps in the diagnosis of the condition and allows institution of early preventive measures. The objective of this paper is to provide a review of the current concepts of the wide spectrum of etiological factors involved in the pathogenesis of this significance clinical entity in the primary dentition.

The purpose of study was to test the hypothesis that preschool children who experienced nursing caries have high dft index and caries activity in primary dentition. One thousand and seventy-five preschool children from 4 to 6 years old were examined for their caries experience and salivary invertase activity by Resazurin Disc Test. Nursing caries group was identified by the criteria of having more decayed and filled teeth among the upper incisors than among the upper molars. The prevalence of nursing caries was 15.8%. The dft index of nursing caries group was significantly higher than that of the other groups except the rampant caries group(P<0.01). The Resazurin Disc Test score of nursing caries group was significantly higher than that of the other groups(P<0.01) and there was no difference between nursing caries group and rampant caries group. Therefore, it is recommended that children who experienced nursing caries should be incorporated in the caries prevention program through the primary and mixed dentition.

The prevalence of congenital teeth missing is about 2-10% of population and it is more common in permanent dentition than primary dentition. In the patients with congenital missing teeth symptoms such as conical tooth, prolonged retention of primary tooth, tooth attrition. and deficient alveolar bone growth can be accompanied. In this paper the results of clinical observation of the congenital teeth missing brothers and their familial history are presented.

The authors selected fifty children aged 2 to 4 years who had normal occlusion from the patients admitted at the Pedodontic Department in the Infirmary of Dental College, S.N.U. Study casts were taken and observed on the primate spaces and terminal planes which are characteristics of primary dentition. The results were as follows: 1. The percentages of terminal planes were 56%±7.02 in mesial step type, 38.0%±6.86 in straight step type, 6.0%±3.36 in distal step type, respectively. 2. The percentages of primate space were 80%±5.09 in maxillary dental arch and 5.0%±7.06 in mandibular dental arch. 3. The percentage of mesial step type in korean children was higher in comparison with that in foreign children and the percentage of the primate space was about the same in korean & foreign children.
