  • Children with an intellectual disability often demonstrate lack of cooperation during dental treatment and require behavioral management. A child with mild intellectual disability can be managed adequately using restraints and medication. However, in cases of profound intellectual disability, dental treatment under general anesthesia is usually required. In cases where the patient is an intellectually disabled child who has intellectually disabled parents, it is difficult to evaluate the patient's preoperative condition and to obtain consent for treatment under general anesthesia. Furthermore, they are unable to respond to emergencies after treatment. Therefore, dental treatment should be performed under general anesthesia with hospitalization for children with an intellectual disability. This case presents the dental treatment of an intellectually disabled child, who has intellectually disabled parents, and who required general anesthesia and hospitalization.

  • $Carisolv^{TM}$ system was developed for removal of carious dentin with chemo-mechanical method by Swedish researcher. $Carisolv^{TM}$ is composed of 0.5% NaClO and three kinds of amino acid, i.e. glutamic acid, leucine and lysin. After these agents are mixed together, the gel mixed is applied to carious dentin and the carious dentin is removed with hand instrument without using burs. The mechanism of softening the dentin is postulated that the degenerated collagen by caries is chlorinated and the decomposed. But the details of the mechanism are not clarified yet.(omitted)

  • Oleanolic acid is a natural triterpenoid that exists widely in foods and some medicinal herbs. The purpose of this study was to determine the antimicrobial activity of oleanolic acid against Streptococcus mutans strains isolated from a Korean population. Antimicrobial activity against these bacteria was evaluated by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and time kill curves. The tolerance of human gingival fibroblasts and human periodontal ligaments to oleanolic acid was tested using a methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. The $MIC_{90}$ value of oleanolic acid for both S. mutans and S. sobrinus isolated from Koreans was 8 ${\mu}g/ml$. Oleanolic acid showed bactericidal effects against S. mutans ATCC $25175^T$ and S. sobrinus ATCC $33478^T$ at $1\;{\times}\;MIC$ ($8{\mu}g/ml$) and had no cytotoxic effects against KB cells at this dose. The results suggest that oleanolic acid could be useful in the future development of oral hygiene products for the prevention of dental caries.

  • Porphyromon as endodontalis, a gram-negative anaerobic rod, is an important pathogenic organism in periapical lesionis with acute symptoms, such as pain, swelling, and suppuration in endodontic patient. Like P. gingivalis, a major pathogen of adult periodontitis, P. endodontalis is asaccharolytic and forms black-pigmented colonies on enriched blood agar plates. However, the pathogenic factors and the pathological potential of this microbe have been poorly characterized.(omitted)
