This experimental study was made to evaluate the efficacy of root canal preparation of engine reamer versus hand reamer. Eighty extracted human teeth were prepared with the following treatments and devided into 4 groups; Group 1: Canal preparation with hand reamer, and irrigation with normal saline solution. Group 2: Canal preparation with engine reamer, and irrigation with normal saline solution. Group 3: Canal preparation with hand reamer, and irrigation with 3% hydrogen peroxide and 3.5% sodium hypochlorite solution. Group 4: Canal preparation with engine reamer, and irrigation with 3% hydrogen peroxide and irrigation with 3% hydrogen peroxide and 3.5% sodium hypochlorite solution. After decalcification, 5p. sections at levels 1-, 3-, and 5-mm from the apex were evaluated microscopically. The results were as follows; The effectiveness of hand reamer and engine reamer were equal in preparing the root canal at all levels from the apex, and were equal in normal saline solution groups, and 3% $H_2O_2$ and 3.5% NaOCl solution groups. Both in hand reaming groups and in engine reaming groups, some canal walls had still untouched portion, and canal irregularities and debris were still remained.

Many edentulous posterior maxilla are found to be compromised by alveolar resorption and increased pneumatization of the sinus. One of the surgical procedures to overcome this anatomical limitation is sinus floor elevation with bone graft, which is reported as more appropriate and more successful procedure. Commonly, if the residual bone height is over 5mm, sinus floor elevation is operated through transcrestal approach using osteotome technique. But, it is possible for patients to feel discomfort during operation and dizziness after operation while malleting, sinus floor elevation, using osteotome technique. Some instruments and methods has been used to overcome these problems and use more easily. The aim of this study is to compare between the surgical procedure of sinus floor elevation using Hatch reamer technique and that of sinus floor elevation using osteotome technique. From 2004 Feb to 2007 Oct, we investigate patients (osteotome group: 72, Hatch reamer group: 70) who were given implant surgery with sinus floor elevation (osteotome group: 92, Hatch reamer group: 98). We analysed gender, age, residual bone height, amount of sinus floor elevation, used graft material, total success rate, failure rate by residual bone height and implant type and discomfort during operation, etc. The results obtained were as follows. 1. In the amount of sinus elevation was osteotome group was $3.85{\pm}1.02\;mm$ and Hatch reamer group was $3.93{\pm}1.38\;mm$. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). 2. At the total success rate, osteotome group was 92.4% and Hatch reamer group was 94.9%. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). 3. On the discomfort during the operation by using numerical rating scale, osteotome group was $2.87{\pm}0.83$ and Hatch reamer group was $1.12{\pm}0.64$. There was statistically significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). The Hatch reamer group clinical results was similar to osteotome group and we thought that Hatch reamer technique can overcome the faults of osteotome technique.

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the method using the S-reamer and gel-type graft material by the success rate and survival rate. Materials and methods: Implantation period was from 2008 to 2014, Follow check up year is 2019. There were 59 patients and 117 implants. All implants were placed in the posterior maxilla with the sinus lift. The patients population consisted of 34 men and 25 women, ranging from 19 to 75 years. The residual bone heights were from 1 mm to 6 mm. Sinus was perforated with S-reamer without membrane tearing and gel type bone graft material was used for membrane lifting and filling the space. all implants were placed simultaneously. Panoramic X-ray was taken. After 5 - 6 months healing period, final prostheses were restored. After more 5-years implant surgery, Panoramic X-ray was obtained and X-ray analysis and clinical examination were performed. Success criteria was referred to a Buser's success critera. All implants were classified to success implant, survival implant, failed implant. A success implant was satisfying success criteria, a survival implant was a implant that was acute infection with suppuration and bone loss, a failed implant was a implant that was mobile, removed. Results: Five implants were removed, and 4 implants had infected with bone loss. Survival rate was 95.7% and success rate was 92.3%. Conclusion: This retrospective study presented that this method with S-reamer and gel-type graft material was a successful treatment without membrane tear in the condition of 1-6 mm residual bone height.

This is a case of the core reamer breakage during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft. A 19-year-old man with acute anterior cruciate ligament rupture had reconstruction surgery. During tunneling in the proximal tibia, the core reamer have been cracked open and broken. Rest of the procedure was performed routinely except the tibial sided fixation of bone block which was performed with larger interference screw than usual. The patient followed the accelerated rehabilitation program. The result was satisfactory at 2 years after surgery.

Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions using bone-patella tendon-bone have been considered the best method by which others are compared. The notchyplasty is one of the important steps of this procedure and it is emphasized recently to prevent retear of the reconstructed ACL caused by impingement. However, until now, there is controversy about adequate amount of notchyplasty. Also, it is hard to examine the adequacy of notchyplasty even in the arthroscopic field, The purpose of this paper is to describe the surgical technique of notchyplasty, using the flexible reamer and preliminary result of its operation. In this study the results of ACL reconstruction with notchyplasty which is made by us were analized from January. 1994 to December, 1995. The results were as follows: 1. The notchyplasty with flexible reamer is the method that can be obtained adequate amount of removal, perfectly smooth notchyplasty. 2. The range of motion of the affected knee joint was normal ROM after post operation 6 month. 3. In the last follow up, 2 cases were positive in anterior drawer test 4 cases were positive in Lachmann's test and 1 knee was positive in Pivot shift test 4. Average Lysholm knee scoring scale was 70 points at preoperative and 92 points at the last follow up.

In this study, Cermet Reamers for planet carrier was manufactured and the machining characteristics were analyzed through processing experiment. Cermet reamer with ∅14, ∅15, ∅18, and ∅21mm was used and machining characteristics were compared and analyzed by observing tool wear, machining hole dimensions and surface roughness. In the flank wear of the tool, the result is less than 0.2mm, which is the target value for each tool size. The experimental results of the machining hole dimensions show the results of the process control range of 3/100 or less according to the size of the tool. Also, the surface roughness measurement result showed a value of less than $0.5{\mu}m$ in the process control range for each tool size. As a result of observing the experimental results of each ∅, the results satisfied the process standard in both the tool wear, the machining hole dimension and the surface roughness.

After drilling, reaming is required to process a workpiece for obtaining an excellent surface quality. In general, a cermet is defined as a "composite of a ceramic hard phase and metal-bonded phase." Cermets have excellent abrasion resistance, thermal resistance, and performance in finishing operations that require surface roughness and processing precision. However, although cermets have significant advantages, research on them is insufficient. In this study, workpiece SM45C was machined using drills and cermet reamers. The cermet reamer was processed for drag finishing for 0, 4, and 6 min. The experimental results showed the effects of drag finishing on surface roughness and dimensional accuracy.

This study was conducted to evaluate the sealing ability of McSpadden technique compared with lateral condensation and Engine reamer technique, and according to the degree of canal enlargement and the use and nonuse of sealer. Seventy single-rooted teeth were divided into 14 groups and each tooth was enlarged and obturated according to the purpose of this study. Obturated teeth were infiltrated by Indian ink and decalcified and cleared. The apical sealing ability was evaluated by measuring the degree of ink penetration into the canal. The results were as follows: 1. All the teeth filled by lateral condensation using gutta-percha cone and sealer proved better in canal sealing ability than McSpadden technique and Engine reamer technique, showing less ink penetration. 2. In the McSpadden technique, there was less ink penetration detected in using the sealer than not. 3. In all of the experimental methods, the difference of the degree of ink penetration according the degree of canal enlargement could not be accepted. 4. There was no significant difference in ink penetration degree between Engine reamer technique using sealer and McSpadden technique without sealer.
