The restoration of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) with more than one cusp missing and thin remaining walls is challenging for the general practitioner. The use of posts combined with full coverage restorations is a well-established approach, yet not following the minimal invasive principles of adhesive dentistry. Endocrowns are indirect monoblock restorations that use the pulp chamber of the ETT for retention. In this study the fabrication of 4 endocrowns and their clinical performance will be discussed. Two clinical cases include computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing manufactured molar endocrowns (one feldspathic ceramic and one hybrid composite-ceramic restoration) and the other two are dental laboratory manufactured resin composite premolar endocrown restorations. The modified United States Public Health Service criteria were used to assess the clinical behavior of the restorations at different follow up periods. Endocrown restorations present a satisfactory clinical alternative, either by the use of resin composite or glass ceramic and hybrid materials. Specific guidelines with minimal alterations should be followed for an endocrown restoration to be successful. Due to limited evidence regarding the long term evaluation of this restorative technique, a careful selection of cases should be applied.
When losing many of the remaining teeth, the relation among them can be put into dynamically unfavorable situation. In the case that the patient without any incompatibilityto the denture, overdenture can be considered. Moreover, we can overcome the dynamical disadvantage, and improve the support, stability, and retention of the partial denture by using implant at the edentulous area. In this case, patient with crossed occlusion between few remaining teeth was treated with maxillary and mandibular partial denture. Single implant fixture was placed at the edentulous space, opposing to the maxillary teeth occluded, and $Locator^{(R)}$ attachment was connected. The patient's esthetic satisfaction was improved by ideally adjusting the tilted occlusal plane. Since the patient was satisfied both esthetically and functionally, and maintained stable during the clinical observation for 6 months after the treatment, we would like to report about it.

When attempting to restore the oral function of a partially edentulous patient, there are a number of prosthetic treatment options available, depending on the structure of remaining teeth. For example, when only one set of maxillary and mandibular teeth are diagonally in place across from each other, it is difficult to gain stable occlusion. In this case, implants can be put in place at the corresponding edentulous area to achieve balance. By doing so, a stable occlusion can be achieved. For this case report, a patient with crossed occlusion after extraction was treated with maxillary RDP (removable dental prosthesis) and mandibular implant-supported RDP (removable dental prosthesis). Moreover, an implant fixture was placed under the posterior molar of the distal extension base diagonally across from the remaining maxillary teeth. Then, magnetic attachment was implemented. According to the patient who received the treatment, the result was functionally and aesthetically satisfactory.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a relationship exists among osteoporosis, alveolar bone density and periodontal disease in postmenopausal osteoporotic women and postmenopausal healthy women. Twenty-two women were evaluated for this study. They were attending the postmenopausal clinic, Seoul National University Hospital and generally healthy except osteoporosis. They had experienced menopause not less than one year when we began to examine them. Bone densities of lumbar area(L2-L4) was determined by DEXA(LUNAR-expert Co,. U.S.A). We diagnosed osteoporosis when T-score was below -2.5 and healthy state when T-score was over -1. Osteoporotic(10 female), not hormone-treated group and healthy control group(12 female) were asked for their age, menopausal age, menopausal period and the number of remaining teeth and examined clinically for plaque index(PI), gingival index(GI), clinical attachment loss(CAL) on their 6 Ramfjord index teeth. Intraoral radiographs were taken in maxillary anterior zone. All films were equally exposed and developed. Each films was digitized and analysed using image processing software, Scion image. Alveolar bone regions of interest were selected and Intensity of each pixel was quantized in the array ranging from 0(white) to 255(black). The two groups were comparable with respect age, menopausal age, menopausal period and number of remaining teeth. The osteoporotic women had significantly lower alveolar bone density than controls in maxilla. But no significant difference was found with respect clinical attachment loss, plaque index and gingival index. Supported by the Ministry of Public Health and Welfare, Korea (HMP-00-CH-10-0009).

Interim immediate denture is fabricated to minimize the period of edentulousness after removal of the patient's remaining teeth and before delivery of final prosthesis. In the case of using the CAD/CAM system, there is an advantage in that the manufacturing process in the clinic and laboratory can be simplified by overcoming some of the limitations of manufacturing interim immediate dentures in the traditional way. However, there are also disadvantages in that errors occur in the process of transmitting information about the patient's intermaxillary relationship to the digital network of the laboratory, resulting in unstable occlusal relationships or non-esthetic prostheses. To overcome this problem, using the simple and accurate POP BOW system's occlusal plane digital transfer method, it was possible to fabricate an esthetic and functional 3D printed interim immediate denture after removal of the remaining upper and lower anterior teeth.
Removal of subgingival calculus is essential for the success in periodontal treatment. Subgingival instrumentation is used for the removal of all bacterial plaque and calculus. In this study, Gracey curet and Ultrasonic curet were used on single rooted teeth to conduct subgingval scaling and root planning. The remaining amount of calculus was evaluated according to type of instrument, depth of pocket, and tooth surface. 24 teeth were extracted from 14 patients being treated at department Periodontology Seoul Advantist dental hospital were used. Total 96 area(4 surface per teeth) were evaluated. 12 teeth treated with Gracey curet were used as the control group and the other 12 teeth treated with Ultrasonic curet were examined for experimental group. The 4 surface of the teeth(buccal, mesial, lingual or palatal, distal) were observed through the stereomicroscope and the images of the surface were captured and saved in CCD. The images were displayed on the monitor and the amount of calculus remained was evaluated by overlapping $10{\times}10$ grid pixel screen produced by Microsoft power point. The results evaluated were as follows 1. There was no statistically significant difference in residual calculus and tooth position following scaling and root planning of all group, but statistically significant correlation with residual calculus, probing depth, instruments and tooth surface. 2. There was statistically significant correlation between residual calculus and probing depth, but no statistically significant difference in residual calculus, tooth surface and tooth position on experimental(Ultrasonic curet) group. 3. There was no statistically significant difference in residual calculus according to the pre-treatment pocket depth and tooth position, but statistically significant correlation with tooth surface. The amount of residual calculus increase with mesial, distal, buccal and lingual(or palatal) surface on control(Gracey curet) group. 4. The Gracey showed better results than ultrasonic curet in mesial and distal surface, and there is significant difference. The results demonstrate that ultrasonic curet alone is inadequate for thorough subgingival debridement and suggest that Ultrasonic curet with Gracey curet should be more effective.
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the dietary habits and oral health of elderly people in an attempt to pave the way for the development of oral health promotion programs geared toward improving the quality of life of the elderly. The subjects in this study were senior citizens who were selected by convenience sampling from Seoul. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. Regarding subjective oral health state, 54.5% of the elderly people, more than the half, considered their mouth to be in good health. The number of their mean remaining permanent teeth was 13.71. 47.5 percent of the senior citizens investigated had no shaking teeth. 2. Those who found themselves to be in good oral health had meals on a regular basis(p=0.022) and ate detergent food often. The gaps between them and the others was significant(p=0.005). In contrast, the elderly people who were in a bad oral health frequently ate cariogenic food(p=0.044). 3. The elderly people who had 21 teeth or more ate detergent food often(p=0.029), and those who owned no teeth had a sweet teeth(p=0.003), ate more cariogenic food(p=0.001) and had a snack frequently(p=0.026). 4. The subjective oral health status had a positive correlation to detergent food intake(r=0.23) and had a slightly negative correlation to preference for sweets(r=-0.14), cariogenic food intake(r=-0.14) and snack intake(r=-0.06). The number of tooth was positively correlated to detergent food intake(r=0.23) and negatively to preference for sweets(r=0.32), cariogenic food intake(r=-0.30) and snack intake(r=-0.21). The presence or absence of shaking teeth had a positive correlation to snack intake(r=0.14). The above-mentioned findings suggested that the dietary habits of the elderly people had a statistically significant relationship to subjective and objective oral health state, which indicated that there was a close relationship between oral health and dietary habits. Therefore how to improve dietary habits as well as oral health should be taken into account when oral health promotion programs are developed for the sake of the elderly. That would contribute to promoting the oral health of elderly people and eventually boosting their quality of life.
The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the apical leakage in extracted teeth filled with gutta-percha subsequent to dressing with one of three different calcium hydroxide preparations. Thirty six extracted teeth with single canal were used in this study. After working length determination, canals were prepared with K flexo files to a #40 at the working length. Step-back flaring was produced by using #45, #50 K flexo files and #2, #3, #4 Gates Glidden burs. The teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups of 10 each : the remaining six teeth were used for negative and positive leakage control: Group 1, dressed with pure calcium hydroxide powder (Sigma, USA) mixed with distilled water; Group 2, dressed with Metapaste (Metadent, Korea) ; Group 3, dressed with Vitapex (Neo Dental, Japan). Teeth were sealed with Caviton (GC, Japan) and incubated in 100% humidity, at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 1 wk. All kinds of calcium hydroxide were removed from the canal with a MAF and 5% NaOCl. The canals were filled with AH-26$^{\circledR}$ sealer and gutta-percha using lateral condensation technique, incubated in 100% humidity, at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 2 days for the sealer to be set. The teeth were coated twice with nail varnish except for an area of approximately 2mm surrounding the apical foramen. All specimens were placed in 2% methylene blue solution for 2 days. The root were sectioned longitudinally, the amount of apical leakage was measured to the most coronal part of the root canal to which the dye had penetrated. The independent measurements were made for each root using a stereomicroscope ($\times$40 magnification) and the average was recorded for statistical analysis. The results were as follows ; 1. The mean of apical leakage in group of pure calcium hydroxide ranged 0.102$\pm$0.156mm, in Metapaste$^{\circledR}$ ranged 0.062$\pm$0.069mm, and in Vitapex$^{\circledR}$ ranged 0.067$\pm$0.072mm. 2. Group of pure calcium hydroxide exhibited more leakage than those of 2 manufactured calcium hydroxide preparations, but it was not statistically significant. 3. Group of water-based Metapaste$^{\circledR}$ showed lesser leakage than that of oil-based Vitapex$^{\circledR}$, but it was not statistically significant.
Objectives: To comparatively evaluate the efficacy of photo-activated disinfection (PAD), calcium hydroxide (CH) and their combination on the treatment outcome of indirect pulp treatment (IPT). Materials and Methods: Institutional ethical clearance and informed consent of the patients were taken. The study was also registered with clinical registry of India. Sixty permanent molars exhibiting deep occlusal carious lesion in patients with the age range of 18 - 22 yr were included. Clinical and radiographic evaluation and set inclusion and exclusion criteria's were followed. Gross caries excavation was accomplished. In group I (n = 20) PAD was applied for sixty seconds. In group II (n = 20), CH was applied to the remaining carious dentin, while in group III (n = 20), PAD application was followed by CH placement. The teeth were permanently restored. They were clinically and radiographically followed-up at 45 day, 6 mon and 12 mon. Relative density of the remaining affected dentin was measured by 'Radiovisiography (RVG) densitometric' analysis. Results: Successful outcome with an increase in radiographic grey values were observed in all three groups. However, on inter-group comparison, this change was not significant (p > 0.05). Conclusions: PAD and CH both have equal disinfection efficacy in the treatment of deep carious dentin. PAD alone is as effective for treatment of deep carious lesion as calcium hydroxide and hence can be used as an alternative to CH. They can be used independently in IPT, since combining both does not offer any additional therapeutic benefits.
The purpose of this study is to find out potential factors associated with the quality of life in South Korean senior people, on the basis of their oral health, so that it may provide basic reference materials in developing and assessing national policies for improving the quality of life in senior people. The data of 3,882 senior citizens who were at the Western age of 65 and up and got a dental checkup were selected from the first-, second- and third-year raw data of the 4th National Health and Nutrition Survey that were conducted from July 2007 to December 2009. And the statistical package SPSS 19.0 was employed to analyze the selected data. The findings of the study were as follows: The senior citizens whose remaining tooth was larger in number and who didn't need partial or full denture lead a better quality of life. Therefore, dental loss without any prosthetic appliance has significant negative effects on the quality of life in senior people, so it is urgently demanded to try to increase the number of remaining teeth and apply dental prosthesis to senior people for recovery of their oral health.
