Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma (CAF) is an uncommon benign soft-tissue fibroblastic tumor with characteristic histological features. It mainly occurs in the distal part of the extremities, such as the hands and feet, in children and adolescents. Males are twice as commonly affected as females. CAF exhibits local invasiveness, and hence, its recurrence rate is also high. Therefore, complete surgical excision is both diagnostic and therapeutic. The occurrence of CAF in the maxillofacial region, especially the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), is very rare, and this necessitates its differentiation from other TMJ neoplasms. The differential diagnosis of CAF requires microscopic examination. Herein, we report a rare case of CAF located at the left mandibular condyle, which was confirmed by histopathological analysis.

Objectives: The goal of this study is to establish data baseline to ameliorate oral health policies for patient. The research was conducted in dental clinic at Seoul Metropolitan Children's Hospital - the major municipal hospital for the disabled. The outpatients' visiting patterns to the dental clinic were analyzed, compared to other medical departments. For further research related to TMD, the questionnaires were given to the subjects. Material and methods: Data for visiting patterns/frequencies was collected from patient records of 1419 outpatients who visited the dental clinic at Seoul Municipal Children's Hospital in 2011. Then TMD-related questionnaires were given to 127 outpatients who were over 13 years old. Results: 1. 219 out of 1419 patients (15.4%) who visited the dental clinic at Seoul Municipal Children's Hospital in 2011 were the disabled. 2. Compared to normal patients, disabled patients visited the dental clinic and rehabilitation medicine department more frequently.(p<0.05) However, there was no apparent difference in visiting frequencies between the disabled and the normal patients in the psychiatric department.(p=0.3237) 3. 44% of the TMD-related questionnaire subjects responded that they often consumed relatively hard or tough food, 53% answered they had unilateral chewing habit, 3% had bruxism, and 12% had clenching habit. Conclusion: In the dental clinic at Seoul Municipal Children's Hospital, 19% of outpatients over 13 years old had TMD such as clicking and pain. Also, the disabled patients' visits to the dental clinic were considerably more frequent, compared to the normal patients and to other medical departments. Accordingly, the result may suggest that the proper systematic supports from the government are essential to the dental clinic at municipal hospital for the disabled.

The aim of this research is to compare the attitude toward the special needs of dental staffs between the special dental clinic (SDC) and the general dental clinic (GDC). Surveys were done on 21 dental staffs (7 dentists and 14 dental hygienists) of SDC and 47 dental staffs (10 dentists and 37 dental hygienists) of GDC. Attitudes were rated on a questionnaire with the five-point Likert scale. Mann-Whitney test was utilized for statistical analysis. In SDC, more female dentists and dental staffs who have relatives with disability were working. Dental staffs of SDC showed that the more experience they had, the more positive attitudes toward the communication with the patients with special needs (p<0.05). Dental staffs of SDC represented more active attitudes toward the oral health promotion, treatment, research and volunteering (p<0.05). In conclusion, dental staffs who have personal motivation were working in SDC and the experience of dental treatment to the patients with special needs influenced the dental staffs' attitudes toward them. In future, a research about the attitude toward the disabled with more exact scale should be followed.

환자가 의료기관을 선택할 때 작용하는 요인은 매우 다양하며 이에 대한 많은 연구들이 있었으나 대부분 외부적인 요인에 대한 연구가 많았고 의료기관 선택 시 환자의 정신-심리학적인 면에 대한 정보 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 비교적 선택진료(elective treatment)의 측면이 많은 교정치료를 받기 위해 치과의원과 대학치과병원에 내원한 환자들이 의료기관을 선택하는 여러 요인들 중 정신-심리학적 요인을 알아보기 위해 인간의 행동을 예측하는데 유용하다고 알려진 통제소재(Locus of control)검사를 이용하였다. 교정치료를 목적으로 서울대학교 치과병원에 내원한 환자 934명 및 치과의원에 내원한 환자 1466명을 대상으로 내외통제소재검사를 시행한 결과 대학치과병원 교정환자들이 치과의원 교정환자에 비하여 외적통제 경향이 높았으며 이러한 결과에 비추어 대학치과병원 교정환자들이 치과의원 교정환자들에 비해 의료진의 권위에 의존하는 정신-심리학적 경향이 존재하는 것으로 나타났다.

Purposes: The objective of this study is to analyze service design process of dental clinic preventive service by using 'Double Diamond Design Process' which is user-centered for improving dental clinic management efficiency. Methodology: We examine case study that dental clinic preventive service of local dental clinic. Following the double diamond design four steps(①discover, ②define, ③develop, ④deliver), we use suitable analytic tools in each steps. In discover step, we perform observation and desk research. Next, in define step, affinity diagram, user persona, and user journey map are performed. We then make service blueprint in develop step. Finally, in deliver step, virtual scenario and confirm some outputs which are based on results of former steps are suggested. Findings: As a result of this study, waiting and consulting phases turn out that these phases are in the most trouble than others. Users(patients) have lots of complain and dissatisfaction in these phases. These touch-points will have to be modified Practical Implication: After checking this study result, it could suggest improvement schemes. To apply these, we try to make some scenarios, and finally realize some outputs. Service design has arisen to strengthen the competitiveness by reflecting user's experience and needs. Especially, service design is not typical, it is so flexible that can apply to various situation and objects. We hope that result of this study is made good use for dental clinics in need.

Purpose: This study was designed to investigate the present conditions of illumination techniques in dental clinics in order to contribute improvement of operating environment. This study also aimed exploring qualitative and quantitative luminous intensity required for color temperature in dental clinic illumination, which was a critical part of esthetic dentistry. Materials and methods: A total of forty-eight local dental clinics were selected for sampling a) luminous intensity, and b) color temperature. The author measured the luminous intensity and the color temperature with lux meter and color meter respectively between 12pm and 2pm. The dental unit chair placed in the general operation positions were kept the distance 60 cm then all dental units were measured three times and averaged. The author measured the luminous intensity and color temperature with both common dental operating light and then without operating light in different office environments. The study was conducted under three conditions: 1 artificial illumination in clear day light 2. artificial illumination in cloudy day light, and 3. artificial illumination alone. Results : The results obtained were as follows. 1. The average luminous intensity in dental clinic lighting was 425 lux which was not sufficient to produce the optimal shade of the patient's teeth. Furthermore, the average luminous intensity even in full operating lighting was 9532 lux which fell short of the required level of 10,000 lux. 2. The average color temperature of all dental clinics surveyed was 5169 K which met the optimal range. However, only 33.3% fell in the correct region between 5,000-5,500 K as 25% were over 5,500 K and 41.6% were below 5,000 K. As a result, 66.7% were under insufficient color temperature conditions. 3. The dental unit chair placed next to a window, hence exposure to natural lighting, had significantly higher luminous intensity and color temperature compared to the dental unit chair which didn't have a window or natural lighting. 4. The data analysis revealed that only 6.3% of the dental clinic were met the standard of the average luminous intensity and color temperature.
