The purpose of this research is to provide the basic information for the development of dental healthcare system's expertise and spatial composition in diverse dental spaces in Korea according to dental specialist system enforcement. Literature review of dental expertise especially dental specialist system and investigation on current status of spatial composition of dental spaces have been conducted. After the review, the spatial composition with field survey and architectural drawings of selected dental spaces have been analyzed. The result of this study is arranged with three points. First of all, the main clinical dental spaces are the dental school's dental hospital, dental department in medical center/hospital and private dental clinic in Korea. The second one is that dental school's dental hospital had differentiated to 10-11 departments in 1970-1980's and dental department in medical center/hospital has been changing to dental hospital with 5-7 departments in 2010's, and dental clinic is changing to specific dental clinic according to dental specialist system in 2018. The third one is that spatial composition is related with dental expertise at diverse levels. Spatial composition in dental school's dental hospital had been highly differentiated with dental expertise, dental department in medical center/hospital is partially subdivided with dental specialist system, but that of dental clinic is not changed according to dental specialist system. In addition to current spatial composition according to dental expertise, it is necessary to analyze the change of spatial composition with diachronic methods to develop the dental healthcare system.

Objective: The number of three-piece maxillary osteotomies has increased over the years; however, the literature remains controversial. The objective of this study was to evaluate the skeletal stability of this surgical modality compared with that of one-piece maxillary osteotomy. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 39 individuals who underwent Le Fort I maxillary osteotomies and were divided into two groups: group 1 (three pieces, n = 22) and group 2 (one piece, n = 17). Three cone-beam computed tomography scans from each patient (T1, pre-surgical; T2, post-surgical; and T3, follow-up) were used to evaluate the three-dimensional skeletal changes. Results: The differences within groups were statistically significant only for group 1 in terms of surgical changes (T2-T1) with a mean difference in the canine region of 3.09 mm and the posterior region of 3.08 mm. No significant differences in surgical stability were identified between or within the groups. The mean values of the differences between groups were 0.05 mm (posterior region) and -0.39 mm (canine region). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that one- and three-piece maxillary osteotomies result in similar post-surgical skeletal stability.

Maxilla protraction, orthopedic correction of deficient maxilla is necessary for treatment of most Class III growing patients. Protraction method has evolved from tooth-born appliance to miniplates on the maxilla, and from face mask to miniplates on the chin. By placing miniplates on the maxilla and the mandible and running elastics between them, we can minimize dentoalveolar relapse and maximize orthopedic change.

Spontaneous esophageal perforation occurred rarely but often lead to a high mortality and morbidity. We had experienced one case of spontaneous rupture of esophagus. A 52 - year old male patient was admitted to our hospital because of the chest pain and massive hematemesis after emetic strain. Esophagogram that taken at private clinic revealed leakage of dye into the right pleural space. Under the diagnosis of the thoracic esophageal perforation, two stage operation was planned because the size of perforation was large and pyothorax was developed on the right side. At first, exclusion and diversion of the esophagus were carried out. After six months, the esophageal reconstruction with left colon was performed.

The study is to grasp the problems related to operation of Maternity clinic of public health centers in seoul and needs for public health of community in relation to consumers and providers in order to improve efficiency of community public health for mothers and children. Four pregnancy woman, who receive medical care at the maternity clinic of M public health centers in seoul and understand the purpose of this study, and one nurse who works at the were the objects of this field study. Participating observation and intensive interviews were conducted to collect data. All of them were performed as necessary from time to time since December, 1994, and not during a specific period. Through an data analysis in the order of sector analysis and classification analysis, the data were classified into specific patterns and the results are the following; 1. All of the subjects were using both private hospitals and public clinics, but managing activities prior to delivery were not carried out in accordence with theories for those activities. 2. The subjects showed two types of response to utilizing maternity clinic. they answered that the advantages of the clinic were 'short waiting time for medical treatment', 'medical treatment by female doctors' and 'economical benefit.' Meanwhile, they gave negative response to the problems of 'non-implementation of delivery' 'uncleanness and insufficient facilities', 'limited time of treatment', 'lack of expertise' and 'want of public health education for materity.' 3. Problems related to operation of maternity clinic were 'lack of experts', 'irrational facility structure' and 'absolutely lack budget'. In terms of the status of managing the subjects, 'programs only aimed at attaining the central-government-assigned objects' and 'limited management before and after delivery by non-implementing delivery' were pointed out to be problems. Regarding public health education before delivery and PR relations, 'superficial public health education for maternity' and 'absence of PR programs' were named. In planning and evaluation, 'absence of autonomous planning and evaluation by the clinic itself' was a major problem in operating the clinic. 4. 'Substantial health education and PR', 'supplementation of facilities and eqipment', 'development' and supply of demanded service by the subjects', 'implementation of autonomous programs', and 'reinforcement of supplementary education' were presented as alternatives for efficient opration of maternity clinics.

Retrobulbar hemorrhage is a rare but serious complication after blepharoplasty, mid-face injury, and treatment of facial bone fractures. The incidence of postoperative retrobulbar hemorrhage is 0.055% with an incidence of associated permanent blindness of 0.005%. A 69-year-old male came to the emergency room with pain on both orbital areas and uncontrolled bleeding after cosmetic lower blepharoplasty performed at a private clinic. He had not been evaluated preoperatively by the private clinic, but we found that he had undergone percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and taken anticoagulants for 10 years. We performed an emergency operation to evacuate the hematoma. However, after surgery, he persistently complained of orbital pain, pressure and diminished visual acuity. Intraocular pressure was increased, and computed tomography demonstrated a retrobulbar hemorrhage with globe displacement. Emergent lateral canthotomy and cantholysis were performed. Intraocular pressure was decreased to 48/30 mm Hg immediately after the operation, falling within the normal range the next day. We recommend three points to minimize loss of vision by retrobulbar hematoma. Firstly, careful preoperative evaluation must be conducted including current medications, underlying diseases and previous history of surgeries. Secondly, cautious postoperative observation is important for the early diagnosis of retrobulbar hematoma. Lastly, immediate treatment is crucial to prevent permanent blindness.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of competition between Public Health Centers (PHCs) and private clinics (PCs) by examining the number of patients that used PHCs vs. PCs, estimating the total amount of revenue generated from outpatient services at both PHCs and PCs, thereby analyzing the financial impacts on PCs derived from the PHCs. We utilized 2011 National Inpatient Sample data (NIS). Using the 20 table containing general information on each individual claims, we integrate it with the 40 table which contains all the diagnostic codes for each claim. Then, we disaggregate the bundled claims into the original individual claims. Overall, 3.1% of outpatient visits are made at PHCs while the rest was made at the PCs (96.9%). Among the total claim costs of 6.34 billion USD (as of 2011), PHCs occupy 2.0% (124 million USD), and 98.0% are contributed to PCs (6.21 billion USD). The estimated economic losses of PCs due to PHCs are summarized as follow; the maximum potential loss is estimated at 198 million USD in total and 7,099 USD per clinic when we include all patient types; the minimum loss is estimated at 71 million USD in total and 2,540 USD per clinic where Medical Aid recipients and the elderly (aged 65 and over) are excluded. Our results confirm the potential economic effect on PCs due to PHCs providing outpatient services. PCs and PHCs are the most important players providing primary care in Korea. Unnecessary competition between PCs and PHCs is not desirable. Health authorities should carefully examine the healthcare services currently provided by PHCs and their impacts on PCs.

PURPOSE. This study tried to find the most significant factors predicting implant prognosis using machine learning methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The data used in this study was based on a systematic search of chart files at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital for one year. In this period, oral and maxillofacial surgeons inserted 667 implants in 198 patients after consultation with a prosthodontist. The traditional statistical methods were inappropriate in this study, which analyzed the data of a small sample size to find a factor affecting the prognosis. The machine learning methods were used in this study, since these methods have analyzing power for a small sample size and are able to find a new factor that has been unknown to have an effect on the result. A decision tree model and a support vector machine were used for the analysis. RESULTS. The results identified mesio-distal position of the inserted implant as the most significant factor determining its prognosis. Both of the machine learning methods, the decision tree model and support vector machine, yielded the similar results. CONCLUSION. Dental clinicians should be careful in locating implants in the patient's mouths, especially mesio-distally, to minimize the negative complications against implant survival.
