통상의 기계적 방법에 의해 치유가 안되는 감염된 치아의 치수치료에 항생제를 이용한 화학적 방법을 함께 적용할 수 있다. Metronidazole, ciprofloxacin 및 minocycline으로 조합된 항생제 (3Mix)의 사용은 근관 및 치근단 주위 병소를 멸균시키는데 효과적이다. 이들 항생제 중 minocycline은 반합성 tetracycline유도체로써 치아는 물론 콜라겐 조직의 변색을 유발하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 증례에서는 치수치료에 항생제를 사용하여 치료를 완료하였으나 minocycline에 의해 유발된 치아변색을 관찰하였다. 변색된 실활 영구치 중 구치는 금속도개관을 이용한 보철치료로 수복하였고 전치에는 과붕간나트륨과 증류수를 혼합 적용하는 표백술을 시행한 바, 심미적 개선을 관찰할 수 있었다.

The endodontic-periodontic combined lesions have been difficult to get correct diagnosis and predictable treatment. This study was to make the experimental endodontic-periodontic combined defects in dogs for the study of the periodontal regeneration and to evaluate the efficacy of the enamel matrix protein and e-PTFE membrane in the experimental endodontic-periodontic combined defects. 5 mongrel dogs were used. The pulp chambers were opened and the plaque was inserted into the chambers to induce the periapical lesions on the mandibular second, third and fourth premolars of the dogs. 1 month later, the root canal treatments were done with gutta perch a and ZOE sealer. On the day of surgery, the periapical defects were standardized by trephine bur. The buccal dehiscence defects were made by the dental bur and bone chisels. The apicoectomy with retrofilling was done. The prepared roots were randomly selected for test and control groups. In the experimental groups, the enamel matrix derivative and e-PTFE membrane were used. Nothing was placed on the control group. Fluroscent labelling was used to evaluate the bone formation. After 4 and 12 weeks, the dogs were sacrificed and undecalcified sections were prepared and stained with toluidine blue. Those histologic sections were examined by fluorescent microscopy and light microscopy. The results were as follows. 1. In the control group, new bone was formed in the periapical defects and scarcely in the buccal dehiscence defects. New cementum was not detected at 4 and 12 weeks. 2. In the experimental groups, new bone, new cementum and periodontal ligament were found in the periapical and buccal dehiscence defects. The relative amount and the quality of the new bone, new cementum and periodontal ligament tissue that had formed on the experimental groups were superior to those of the control group. 3. The current observation implicated that e-PTFE membrane and enamel matrix protein could be the effective tools for the guided tissue regeneration of the endo-perio combined defects.

Lateral condensation with gutta-percha and sealer has been shown to provide an excellent apical seal; however, the lateral condensation technique has demonstrated less favorable apical leakage results in curved canals when compared with straight canals. Placement of endodontic spreaders to within 1 to 2mm of the root canal working length has been advocated for optimum gutta-percha obturation. Due to their stiffness, stainless-steel(SS) spreaders will often fail to achieve this position in curved canals. Newly marketed nickel-titanium(NT) spreaders may offer an advantage in this regard due to the increased flexibility of these instruments. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of NT finger spreader on the sealing ability in lateral condensation technique, compared with conventional SS finger spreader. Twenty four standardized resin models simulating curved canals(30 degree) were randomly placed into 2 groups and instrumented to a #30 master apical file size with Ni-Ti Profile .04 taper series using step down technique. Each groups was obturated with standardized gutta-percha cone by standard lateral condensation technique using SS finger spreader, NT finger spreader. And then, each model was sectioned horizontally with microtome at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5mm levels from the apex. At each of 5 levels, ratio of the area of gutta-percha was obtained by calculating the area of gutta-percha to the total area of the canal. The data collected were then analyzed statistically using a t test for independent samples. The results as follows ; 1. The total mean ratio of area of gutta-percha was 89.20${\pm}$7.00(%) for SS spreader group. 92.20${\pm}$5.17(%) for NT spreader group. There was statistically significant difference between each group(p<0.05). 2. At 3mm level, the mean ratio of area of gutta-percha was 88.32${\pm}$5.41(%) for SS spreader group, 95.25${\pm}$2.60(%) for NT spreader group. There was statistically significant difference between each group(p<0.05). At 1,2,4mm levels, NT spreader group showed greater mean ratio of area of gutta-percha than SS spreader group, too. But there was no statistically significant difference. 3. At 5mm level, the mean ratio of area of gutta-percha was 91.83${\pm}$3.42(%) for SS spreader group, 87.91${\pm}$3.68(%) for NT spreader group. There was statistically significant difference between each group(p<0.05). This study concluded that the NT spreader demonstrated somewhat favorable apical sealing effect than SS spreader in prepared curved canals. The clinical use of NT spreaders may enhance our ability to create better apical seals in curved canals, but further studies in this area will help clarify some of the remaining areas with which practitioners are concerned, such as compaction forces exerted by NT spreaders.

본 연구의 목적은 근관내 약제로 사용되는 수산화칼슘의 제거방법이 근관충전 후 치근단 미세누출에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위함이다. 70개의 발거된 단근치를 엔진구동형 ProFile로 근관형성한 후 수용성 수산화칼슘 제제를 1주일간 적용하고 두 군으로 나누어 각기 다른 방법으로 제거하였다. A군은 NaOCl로 근관세정만을 시행하였으며, B군은 근관형성 시 사용된 file보다 한 단계 큰 크기의 ProFile을사용하여 근관을 재형성한 후 NaOCl로 세척하였다. 근관충전 후 전기화학적 방법으로 24일 동안 치근단 누출을 측정, 비교하였다. 본 연구의 결과 수산화 칼슘 제거를 위한 두가지 방법은 근관충전후 치근단 미세누출에 있어서 차이가 없음을 알 수 있었다.
