Purpose : The aim of this study was to investigate healed bovine bone particles ($Bio-Oss^{(R)}$) and absorbable collagen sponge ($CollaPlug^{(R)}$) applied extraction socket site at 4-6 months' post-extraction. Material and methods : From August, 2004 to October, 2005, 17 sockets in 5 adult patients were selected out of the patients whose received ridge preservation using bovine bone particles and absorbable collagen sponges at Dept. of oral and maxillofacial surgery in Samsung Medical Center. There were 5 male patients, ages 30 to 58 years. Immediate postoperation and 4-6 months after operation study models were compared to evaluate the ridge dimension by measuring vertical height and horizontal width of alveolar ridge. Results : The measurements at 4-6 months revealed, in the ridge dimension, a loss of vertical height of 0.91${\pm}$0.40mm and horizontal width of 1.25${\pm}$0.58mm. There was no adverse reaction. Conclusion : This study suggests that treatment of extraction sockets with graft materials and collagen sponges is valuable in preserving alveolar bone in extraction sockets and preventing alveolar ridges defects.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of Rhizome rot incidence of Platycodon grandiflorus by cultivation period and ridge width and furrow depth. The three types of ridge width 0.8, 1.0, and 1.2 m and several levels of furrow depth and 6 levels cultivation period. This experiment was done in farmer's farm and the treatments were also classified in the same spot. In this investigation, ridge width, soil water content, soil hardness, and cultivation period were positively related with Rhizome rot incidence, however, furrow depth was negatively related with that. So this experiment could draw a conclusion : excess water damage and soil hardness could directly or indirectly effect on the Rhizome rot incidence, so cultivation method should be developed such as making underground ditch or cultivation in well draining soil for escaping excess waster damage.

This study was carried out to investigate the seedling establishment and yield of direct-sown Platycodon grandiflorus seeds cultured by three ridge width, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2 m and four mulching materials, rice straw, rice bran, black plastic film, and no mulching in upland. Seedling establishment rate (70%) was the highest in rice straw mulched plot of 500 seeds/$m^2$ sowed and root yield after one year was also the highest in rice straw mulched treatment and followed by rice bran, no mulching, and black plastic film treatment. In this result, ridge width 120cm and rice straw mulching combined treatment was best for getting the highest seedling establishment ratio and seedling numbers per area. However, ridge width and mulching materials should be considered soil moisture content and weed population for saving labor cost.

Objective: Forced eruption has been proposed for the reconstruction of deficient bone and soft tissue. The aim of this study was to examine the changes in the alveolar ridge width and the vertical levels of the interproximal bone and papilla following forced eruption. Methods: Patients whose hopeless maxillary anterior teeth were expected to undergo severe bone resorption and soft tissue recession upon extraction were recruited. In addition, patients whose maxillary anterior teeth required forced eruption for restoration due to tooth fracture or dental caries were included. Before and after forced eruption, the interproximal bone height was measured by radiographic analysis, and changes in the alveolar ridge width and the interproximal papilla height were measured with an acrylic stent. Results: This prospective study demonstrated that the levels of the interproximal alveolar bone and papilla were significantly increased by 1.36 mm and 1.09 mm, respectively, in the vertical direction. However, the alveolar ridge width was significantly reduced by an average of 0.67 mm in the buccolingual direction. The changes in the level of the interproximal alveolar bone and papilla were positively correlated. Conclusions: Although the levels of the interproximal bone and papilla were significantly increased, the alveolar ridge width was significantly decreased following forced eruption. There was a modest positive and significant correlation between the changes in the height of the interproximal alveolar bone and the papilla. Based on our findings, modification of vertical forced eruption should be considered when augmentation of the alveolar ridge width is required.

Double-Sided Deep-Ridge(DSDR) 수직 방향성 결합기의 날개구조부 폭과 두께가 편광에 따른 결합길이에 미치는 영향에 관하여 연구하였다. 날개구조부가 존재하지 않는 DSDR 수직 방향성 결합기는 편광에 무관한 결합길이를 가질 수 없음을 볼 수 있었다. 일정한 날개구조부 두께에 대하여 날개구조부 폭이 특정 길이 이상이 되면 TE 모드와 TM 모드의 결합길이의 변화는 거의 없으며 또한 두 모드의 결합길이의 차이도 거의 발생하지 않음을 볼 수 있었다. 따라서 편광에 무관한 결합길이를 가지는 DSDR 수직 방향성 결합기를 구현하기 위한 최소 날개구조부 폭이 존재함을 볼 수 있었다. 이러한 최소 날개구조부 폭은-같은 코어 두께에 대해서는 날개구조부 두께가 증가할수록, 같은 날개구조부 두께에 대해서는 코어 두께가 감소할수록-증가함을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 최소 날개구조부 두께는 코어의 두께에 의하여 결정됨을 볼 수 있었고 코어의 두께가 증가할수록 최소 날개구조부 두께는 감소함을 볼 수 있었다.

Background: In this research article, we evaluate the use of sub-periosteal tunneling (tunnel technique) combined with alloplastic in situ hardening biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP, a compound of β-tricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite) bone graft for lateral augmentation of a deficient alveolar ridge. Methods: A total of 9 patients with deficient mandibular alveolar ridges were included in the present pilot study. Ten lateral ridge augmentation were carried out using the sub-periosteal tunneling technique, including a bilateral procedure in one patient. The increase in ridge width was assessed using CBCT evaluation of the ridge preoperatively and at 4 months postoperatively. Histological assessment of the quality of bone formation was also carried out with bone cores obtained at the implant placement re-entry in one patient. Results: The mean bucco-lingual ridge width increased in average from 4.17 ± 0.99 mm to 8.56 ± 1.93 mm after lateral bone augmentation with easy-graft CRYSTAL using the tunneling technique. The gain in ridge width was statistically highly significant (p = 0.0019). Histomorphometric assessment of two bone cores obtained at the time of implant placement from one patient revealed 27.6% new bone and an overall mineralized fraction of 72.3% in the grafted area 4 months after the bone grafting was carried out. Conclusions: Within the limits of this pilot study, it can be concluded that sub-periosteal tunneling technique using in situ hardening biphasic calcium phosphate is a valuable option for lateral ridge augmentation to allow implant placement in deficient alveolar ridges. Further prospective randomized clinical trials will be necessary to assess its performance in comparison to conventional ridge augmentation procedures.

Impression ragistration is an improtant and difficult phase of prosthodontic treatment procedures and a tray of appropriate size and shape is essential to obtain the accurate impression. Particularly, in edentulous patients, the size and forms of their residual alveolar ridges are different from one another. Therefore, in this study, various measurements were taken on the edentulous models. And the measurements were analyzed and compared with one another. The results were as follows ; 1. The mean of denture bearing area was $32.86cm^2$ in the upper jaws, $24.20cm^2$ in the lower jaws and the variation of denture bearing area was greater in the upper than in the lower jaws and in males than in females. 2. The mean of A-P(anteroposterior) ridge length was 48.72mm in the upper jaws, 53.05mm in the lower jaws and that of males was longer than that of females. 3. The mean of most posterior ridge width was 47.23mm in the upper jaws, 58.03mm in the lower jaws and the difference of that between males and females was least in both jaws. 4. In the upper jaws, the mean of ridge width was 29.66mm on anterior 1/4, 42.79mm on middle, 48.95mm on posterior 1/4 line and the mean of palatal height was 4.56mm on anterior 1/4, 10.01mm on middle, 10.84mm on posterior 1/4 line. 5. In the lower jaws, the mean of ridge width was 33.24mm on anterior 1/4, 50.19mm on middle, 59.16mm on posterior 1/4 line and the mean of lingual ridge height was 5.49mm on anterior 1/4, 9.16mm on middle, 16.72mm on posterior 1/4 line. 6. The correlation coefficient(=r) between denture bearing area and A-P ridge length was 0.83 in the upper jaws and 0.75 in the lower jaws. The corelation between denture bearing area and AP ridge length was statistically significant, but, between denture bearing area and A-P ridge length and between A-P ridge length and the most posterior ridge width was not statistically significant in both jaws. 7. Alveolar ridge forms were classified into three(ovoid, "u" shape, and "v"shape) categories. In the upper jaws, ovoid was 66%, "u" shape was 24%, and "v" shape was 10%, in the lower jaws, ovoid was 66.7%, "u" shape was 20%, and "v" shape was 13.3%.

Alveolar bone resorption are unpredictable and always occur after tooth extraction. Such bone resorption causes insufficient alveolar ridge which make implant placement difficult. There are many techniques to increase the alveolar ridge. Representative procedures include ridge split, guided bone regeneration, bone graft using autogenous block bone, and alveolar distraction. In each procedure, there are indications and complications. Depending on the shape and the width of bone defects, we can choose procedures for horizontal bone augmentation and vertical bone augmentation.

Two patients with sufficient vertical bone height but insufficient bone width in the anterior mandibular edentulous area, less than 6mm in the buccolingual aspect, for implant placement were chosen for treatment with a ridge splitting procedure. The surgical technique involving greenstick fracture is described. This ridge splitting procedure could be simple placement of implants into ideal restorable positions in severely atrophic, knife-edged ridges and predictable for narrow edentulous alveolar ridge augmentation associated with implant placement. We experienced two cases to place implant with insufficient bone width in the anterior mandibular edentulous area for overdenture be ridge splitting technique. Thus, we will report two cases and review of the literature.
