Benign fibro-osseous lesions occur when normal bone is replaced by cellular fibrous connective tissue and mineralized structures. One rare type of these lesions is the ossifying fibroma (OF). The aim of this study is to report an unusual case of OF in a 57-year-old female. Physical examination showed facial asymmetry without any tenderness, fluctuation, ocular pain, or ophthalmoplegia. Imaging exams revealed a solid mass involving the left maxilla and orbital floor. Surgical resection was performed without any complications or sequelae, and the histopathological results confirmed OF. Although recurrence is rare in this condition, the patient remains under follow-up.

This report presents a rare case of ameloblastoma with histopathologic and radiographic calcification, including 3-dimensional cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images. A 22-year-old woman had hard swelling on the right mandible. Panoramic and CBCT images showed multilocular radiolucencies with internal calcification foci in the right mandible. Three-dimensional images clearly showed varying-sized radiopacities within the lesion from various angles. A histopathologic examination showed central squamous differentiation and more densely packed peripheral palisading ameloblastic cells. Many areas of keratin pearls and calcifications were also seen. Four previous reports have described 5 cases of ameloblastoma showing histopathologic calcification. This might be the first report to present the calcification of ameloblastoma on panoramic and CBCT images, especially on 3-dimensional images.

Stroke is the second cause of death worldwide, although the survival period is increasing after the occurrence of stroke, severe physical disability is caused with aftereffect. Oral inflammation is not limited to the oral cavity, it can cause malignant changes in other tissues and organs. In previous studies, we confirmed the relationship between tooth loss and stroke due to periodontal inflammation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between oral health and stroke such as oral hygiene behavior, tooth loss and periodontal disease among Korean adults over 40 years of age. This study was analyzed using the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data. A total of 3,389 adults over 40 years of age were analyzed as final subjects. Socioeconomic statuses and oral health status was analyzed using a complex sample analysis technique. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship of oral health and stroke, and 95% confidence intervals were computed using SPSS. When the prevalence of stroke according to oral hygiene behavior was checked, the prevalence of strokes was lower in subjects who had a lot of brushings per day and subjects who used oral hygiene products (p<0.05). The risk of stroke was 2.17 times (95% confidence interval, 1.43~3.28) higher in the group with less than 19 remaining teeth, but it was not statistically significant as a result of adjusting for age and sex, income level, education level, drinking and smoking (p>0.05). Loss of teeth was found to be associated with the risk factor of stroke. Therefore, loss of teeth due to periodontal disease is an additional issue that should be considered as a risk factor for stroke.

We provided general anesthesia management to a patient with advanced atrioventricular block, which was discovered in the remote period after open-heart surgery. A 21-year-old man with Noonan syndrome was scheduled to undergo excision of a median intramandibular tumor. At 2 months of age, the patient underwent endocardial repair for congenital heart disease. During our preoperative examination, an atrioventricular block was detected, which had not been previously noted. Emergency drugs were administered, and a transcutaneous pacemaker was placed. During anesthesia induction, mask ventilation was easy, and intubation was performed smoothly using a video laryngoscope. The transcutaneous pacemaker was activated in demand mode at a pacing rate of 50 cycles/min approximately throughout the anesthesia time, and the hemodynamic status remained stable. The effect of intraoperatively administered atropine was brief, lasting only a few seconds. Although body movements due to thoracoabdominal muscle spasm were observed during pacemaker activation, they did not interfere with surgery. In postoperative patients with congenital heart disease, an atrioventricular block may be identified in the remote period, and preoperative evaluation should be based on this possibility. In addition, during anesthesia management, it is important to prepare multiple measures to maintain hemodynamic status.

이 연구는 본 학과 졸업생의 학교 성적과 국시 성적을 비교하여 분석하고자 하였다. 즉 본 학과의 6개 연도 졸업생 185명의 학교 성적과 국시 성적의 상관관계를 파악하고, 성별과 졸업 연령 등에 따라 학교 성적과 국시 성적에 차이가 있는지 평가하며, 학교 성적의 여러 세부항목 가운데 국시성적을 가장 적절히 예측할 수 있는 주요 요인이 무엇인지 밝히고자 하였다. 본 학과 졸업생의 학년 평점 및 종합시험 점수는 국시 필기 점수와, 1~3학년의 학년 평점 및 종합시험 점수는 국시총점수와 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 특히 2학년의 학년 평점이 국시 필기 점수와, 2차 종합시험 점수가 국시 총 점수와 상관성이 가장 높았다. 졸업 총평점이 높거나, 여학생이거나, 졸업 연령이 낮은 졸업생이 국시 필기 점수가 의미 있게 높았으나 국시 실기 점수에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 2차 종합시험 점수가 국시 총점수와 상관성이 가장 높게 나타난 바, 4학년 2학기에 최종적으로 시행하는 종합시험 점수가 국시 성적을 예측할 수 있는 가장 주된 요인으로 판단된다. 그러나 4년 전체의 졸업 평점이 우수하더라도 국시실기 점수에는 그 영향이 없었으며, 국시 실기와 직접 관련이 있는 4학년의 학년 평점은 오히려 국시 실기 점수와 반대의 양상을 보였다. 또한 국시 실기 점수와 이에 해당하는 학교 교과목 평점도 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 결론적으로, 학교 성적으로 국시 필기 점수는 신뢰성있게 예측할 수 있으나 국시 필기 점수는 그렇지 못하였다. 이 연구는 일개 학교의 사례라는 한계가 있다. 그러나 학교 교육과 국시가 상치되지 않아야 한다면 치위생학 교육과 치과위생사 국시의 연계성에 관련하여 심층적인 연구가 더욱 활발히 수행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives: This study was aimed at investigating the oral hygiene device use by cardiovascular disease patients and assessing related factors. Methods: We used data of 1,630 cardiovascular disease patients (including hypertension, stroke, and myocardial infarction) from the 7th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016-2018). The χ² test and logistic regression analysis were performed to analyze the oral hygiene device use by the subjects and assess related factors. All statistical analyses were performed with the IBM SPSS Statistics, version 20.0. Results: The oral hygiene device use and related factors were significantly higher in patients with an educational level of middle school or below high school, with a score of 1.85 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.35-2.53), or college, with a score of 1.93 (95% CI = 1.19-3.14), compared to those with an educational level below primary school. Further, the oral hygiene device use and related factors were significantly higher in patients who answered 'yes', with a score of 1.96 (95% CI = 1.42-2.73), compared to those who answered 'no' to the question on oral examination. Conclusions: More patients with cardiovascular disease did not use oral hygiene devices than those who did. It is necessary to expand the approach of preventive treatment to increase the utilization rate of oral hygiene devices.

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.
