괴사된 미성숙영구치의 치수치료에 있어서 치수의 재혈관화를 통해 치근단 발육 및 치근형성을 지속하려는 개념이 소개됨으로써 현재 미성숙영구치의 치수치료의 대안으로 제시되고 있다. 이러한 치근단 염증을 가진 미성숙 영구치의 재혈관화를 위해서는 가장 중요한 것이 근관내 감염된 부분을 확실히 제거하는 살균(disinfection)이다. 근관 내 감염은 여러 세균의 복합작용으로 일어나기 때문에 철저한 살균에 사용되는 약제의 조합은 다양한 범위의 균주를 모두 제거 가능해야한다. Metronidazole(MN), ciprofloxacin(CF), minocycline(MC)의 세 가지 복합항생제가 약제로 사용되고 있으나 이 복합항생제 적용 후 치관변색을 일으키는 사례가 보고되고 있다. 이러한 치관변색은 항생제의 성분 중 MC에 의한 것으로 여겨지고 있으며, 본 증례에서는 복합항생제 적용에 의해 야기된 치관변색의 증례를 소개하고 이를 표백술로 처치하여 최종 수복한 증례를 보고하였다. 복합항생제 적용을 통해 미성숙영구치의 치수치료에 새로운 패러다임을 제시한 것은 분명하지만 치관변색 등의 부작용이 있음을 인지하고 치관변색을 사전에 예방하고 최소화하기 위해 다양한 방법이 강구되어야 할 것이다.

Background: Local anesthetics alone or in combination with adjuncts, such as oral medications, have routinely been used for pain control during endodontic treatment. The best clinical choice amongst the vast numbers of agents and techniques available for pain control for irreversible pulpitis is unclear. This network meta-analysis combined the available evidence on agents and techniques for pulpal anesthesia in the maxilla and mandible, in order to identify the best amongst these approaches statistically, as a basis for future clinical trials. Methods: Randomized trials in MEDLINE, DARE, and COCHRANE databases were screened based on inclusion criteria and data were extracted. Heterogeneity was assessed and odds ratios were used to estimate effects. Inconsistencies between direct and indirect pooled estimates were evaluated by H-statistics. The Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation working group approach was used to assess evidence quality. Results: Sixty-two studies (nine studies in the maxilla and 53 studies in the mandible) were included in the meta-analysis. Increased mandibular pulpal anesthesia success was observed on premedication with aceclofenac + paracetamol or supplemental 4% articaine buccal infiltration or ibuprofen+paracetamol premedication, all the above mentioned with 2% lignocaine inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB). No significant difference was noted for any of the agents investigated in terms of the success rate of maxillary pulpal anesthesia. Conclusion: Direct and indirect comparisons indicated that some combinations of IANB with premedication and/or supplemental infiltration had a greater chance of producing successful mandibular pulpal anesthesia. No ideal technique for maxillary anesthesia emerged. Randomized clinical trials with increased sample size may be needed to provide more conclusive data. Our findings suggest that further high-quality studies are required in order to provide definitive direction to clinicians regarding the best agents and techniques to use for mandibular and maxillary anesthesia for irreversible pulpitis.

Garre's osteomyelitis is a unique form of osteomyelitis characterized rediographically by localized thickening of the periosteum and deposition of laminated subperiosteal bone. The most common inciting factor is a mandibular infection in permanent first molar with necrotic pulp. This disease occurs primarily in children and to date in all instances it has occured only in mandible. It usually results in hard swelling over the jaws, producing facial asymmetry with little or no pain. The overlying skin is normal but can occasionally be inflammed mostly when pain is present. Palpation reveals a usually smooth, bone-hard lesion which feel like an inherent part of the mandible. Unlike other forms of osteomyelitis, there is no marked increase in fever, white bloods cell count, sedimentation rate or alkaline phosphatase value. The treatment of Garre's osteomyelitis usually consist of elimination of the sourses of infection, i.e., either extration of an offending infected teeth or root canal therapy. This treatment almost always results in resolution of the Garre's osteomyelitis. Resistant cases have involved secondary surgery, i.e., decortication and sequestrectomy. This report presents three cases of Garre's osteomyelitis resolved by endodontic treatment. Cliniqtl examination revealed swelling on the face with no tenderness. Periapical radiograph showed deep caries lesion extending into pulp chamber and periapical radiolucency. Occlusal radiograph showed an enlargement of bone and stretching the periosteum. A clinical diagnosis of the Garre's osteomyelitis was made. Endodontic treatment was accomplished with conventional method and restored facial symmetry. Long-term check-ups are necessary to evaluate the results of endodontic treatment.

The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and the degree of interappointment pain and post obturation pain associated with the pretreated clinical factors or conditions, and to examine the correlation between the success or failure and the pretreated clinical factors or conditions and postoperative pain. The author experienced the conventional root canal therapy in one hundred fifty-one teeth after recording the following clinical factors or conditions - sex, age, pulp vitality status, presence or absence of periapical rarefaction, single or multirooted teeth, pretreatment pain, and investigated the pain during and after treatment for seven days. After six months all the cases were re-evaluated through the clinical sign, symptom, and the recalled radiograph. The following results were obtained; 1. Of the 151 teeth (73.5%) had no interappointment pain, 31 teeth (20.5%) slight pain; and 9 teeth (6.0%) moderate to severe pain. 2. The presence of the pretreatment pain significantly increased the incidence and degree of interappointment, and there were no significant relationship between interappointment pain and other clinical factors or conditions. 3. Of the 151 teeth, 142 teeth (4.0%) experienced no post obturation pain, 3 teeth (2.0%) slight pain, 6 teeth (4.0%) moderate to severe pain. 4. There were no statistical correlation between postobturation pain and any of the clinical factor or conditions. 5. 141 teeth (3.4%) of 151 teeth were evaluated as success in this study, and success rate was decreased significantly in the cases of periapical rarefaction before treatment and postobturation pain. But there were no significant relationship between success or failure and other clinical factors or conditions.

Dental caries, one of the most frequent dental disease, become larger because it can be thought as a simple disease. Further more, it can progress to unexpected root canal therapy with fabrication of crown that needs reduction of tooth structure. Base is required in a large caries and ZOE, ZPC, glass ionomer are used frequently as base material. They, with restorative material, can affect the longevity of the restoration. In this study, we assume that the mandibular 1st molar has deep class I cavity. So, installing the 3 base material, 3 kinds of fillings were restored over the base as follows; 1) amalgam only, 2) amalgam with ZPC, 3) amalgam with ZOE, 4) amalgam with GI cement, 5) gold inlay with ZPC, 6) gold inlay with GI cement, 7) composite resin only, 8) composite resin with GI cement. After develop the 3-dimensional model for finite element analysis, we observe the distribution of stress and temperature with force of 500N to apical direction at 3 point on occlusal surface and temperature of 55 degree, 15 degree on entire surface. The analyzed results were as follow : 1. Principal stress produced at the interface of base, dentin, cavity wall was smallest in case of using GI cement as base material under the amalgam. 2. Principal stress produced at the interface of base, dentin, cavity wall was smaller in case of using GI cement as a base material than ZPC under gold inlay. 3. Composite resin-filled tooth showed stress distributed over entire tooth structure. In other words, there was little concentration of stress. 4. ZOE was the most effective base material against hot stimuli under the amalgam and GI cement was the next. In case of gold inlay, GI cement was more effective than ZPC. 5. Composite resin has the small coefficient of thermal conductivity. So, composite resin filling is the most effective insulating material.

Background: Dental evaluation and protection are important for preventing traumatic dental injuries when patients are under general anesthesia. The objective of the present study was to develop a questionnaire based on dentition-related risk factors that could serve as a valuable tool for dental evaluation and documentation. Methods: We developed a questionnaire for dental evaluation before administration of general anesthesia, investigated the association between patient-and-dentist responses and mouthguard fabrication, and assessed response agreement between 100 patients. Results: Protective mouthguards were fabricated for 27 patients who were identified as having a high risk of dental injury. There was a strong association between dentists' responses and mouthguard fabrication, depending on the general oral health status, use of ceramic prosthesis, presence of masticatory pain related to periodontal diseases, gingival edema, and implants (P < 0.05). Response agreement between patients and dentists for items related to dental pain, loss of dental pulp vitality, root canal therapy, dental trauma, aesthetic prosthesis, tooth mobility, and implant prosthesis was high (Cohen's kappa coefficient κ ≥ 0.6). Conclusions: A high agreement was observed between patient-dentist responses and a strong association with mouthguard fabrication for items pertaining to ceramic prosthesis, masticatory pain, and dental implants. Patients with a "yes" response to these items are recommended to undergo a dental evaluation and use a dental protective device while under general anesthesia.

치외치(Dens Evaginatus)란 교합면에 법랑질이 원추형으로 돌출되어 결절을 형성한 치아로 치아발육중 법랑기의 내측법랑상피가 외부로 과증식되거나 치수 간엽조직이 국소적으로 과증식되어 나타난다. 결절은 교합력이나 저작에 의해 파절 또는 마모되기 쉬우며 따라서 이로 인하여 치수노출에 의한 감염이 야기될 수 있다. 치외치는 예방목적으로 결절을 주기적으로 조금씩 갈아주어 2차 상아질을 유도하거나 전색제등으로 결절주위를 보강하여 자연마모를 유도할 수 있다. 반면 이미 증상을 보인 치아에 대해서는 근관치료를 시행하거나, 미완성치근인 경우 치근단유도술(Apexogenesis)이나 치근단형성술(Apexification)을 시행한다. 치근단유도술이란 생활력을 가진 미성숙 영구치의 손상, 또는 치아우식에 의한 치수노출 시 치수절단술을 시행하여 치수의 생활력을 유지시켜 정상적인 치근으로 발육하도록 유도하는 술식을 말한다. 주로 수산화칼슘을 이용한 통상의 치수절단술이 이용되고 이후 계속적인 치근형성 확인을 위해 주기적 방사선검사가 요구된다. 본 증례는 하악 좌측 제2소구치 부위의 동통을 주소로 내원한 한자에 대한 것으로, 임상검사결과 양측 소구치 부위에 치외치를 확인하게 되었다. 이에 수산화칼슘을 통한 치근단유도술을 시도하였고, 3년간 주기적 내원을 통해 치료한 결과 치근의 근심면의 비정형적 발달을 보였다. 현재 이 치아는 임상증상과 방사선 사진을 통해 확인한 결과 특이한 염증소견 없는 예후를 보이고 있기에 보고하는 바이다.
