Pressure root resorption can be observed during the eruption of permanent dentition, especially of the maxillary canines (affecting lateral incisors) and mandibular third molars (affecting mandibular second molars). Since the cause of root resorption of the adjacent affected teeth is evident, treatment simply involves extraction of the impacted tooth. However, there have been few reports on the prognosis of the remaining resorbed tooth, as dentists often choose to extract them when damage due to root resorption is observed. We report a case involving a tooth that was severely resorbed due to pressure from an adjacent impacted tooth. After extraction of the impacted tooth, the remaining tooth retained vital pulp and survived as a functional tooth.

Molar incisor malformation (MIM) has been introduced as a new type of dental anomaly. Currently, the morphological and histological characteristics of MIM are known; however, its etiology has not been clearly identified. To date, the long-term prognosis of first permanent molars (FPM) affected by MIM has rarely been reported, and few treatment guidelines have been established. The purpose of this case report was to present guidelines for the extraction of FPM affected by MIM, depending on the presence of the third molar. In patients with a third molar, spontaneous mesial shift of the posterior molars might be induced by extracting the FPM at an appropriate time, that is, when the second permanent molar is at an early furcation stage of the tooth. However, it is recommended that FPM be preserved for as long as possible if a third molar does not exist. When an FPM needs to be extracted, it is suggested to consider space maintenance.

A rare case of the third molar on the site of right maxilla has observed from a 25 years old Korean female before and after extraction. The characteristics were as following ; 1. The morphology of third molar crown had resemblance to maxillary second molar, and sizes were smaller than G.V. Black's mearsurments. 2. In occlusal view, lingual cusp was largest and distolingual cusp was not seen, and decayed to the extent of degreei. 3. Numbers of root were 5 and they were not fused.

The purpose of this study was to observe the changes of the lower 3rd molars following the extraction of the lower 2nd molars by Lateral Cephalograms and Orthopantomograms. The subjects consisted of twenty malocclusion, 7 males 13 females, were 19 year 5 month old at the removal of the lower 2nd molars, 19 year 1 month old at the end of the orthodontic supervision after the removal of the lower 2nd molars (mean age) The obtained results were as follows, 1 It is recommended to extract the lower 2nd molars when the lower 3rd molars are Nolla's Stage 4 or 5 2 With the pre-extraction variables obtained by factor analysis, it was possible to predict the long axis of the lower 3rd molars after 2nd molar extraction. 3 There were no impacted 3rd molars.

Controversies exist regarding the need for prophylactic extraction of mandibular third molars in patients who plan to undergo orthognathic surgery. An 18-year-old male patient was diagnosed with mandibular prognathism and maxillary retrognathism with mild facial asymmetry. He had a severely damaged mandibular first molar and a horizontally impacted third molar. After extraction of the first molar, the second molar was protracted into the first molar space, and the third molar erupted into the posterior line of occlusion. The orthognathic surgery involved clockwise rotation of the maxillomandibular complex as well as angle shaving and chin border trimming. Patients who are missing or have damaged mandibular molars should be monitored for eruption of third molars to replace the missing posterior tooth regardless of the timing of orthognathic surgery.

Patient with alveolar abscess due to dental caries with severe alveolar bone loss, severe tooth mobility, root resorption need extraction of tooth because it is impossible to carry out pulp treatment and restoration by using conventional method. Early loss of primary molar might cause masticatory interference, extrusion of opposing tooth, problem in maintaining space and interference on eruption of permanent tooth. Especially, early loss of primary second molar before the eruption of permanent first molar might cause space closure by mesially erupted permanent first molar and impaction of second premolar. In such a case, distal shoe space maintainer and removable space regaining appliance was the first choice of treatment. But, distal shoe space maintainer need precise adaptation and might cause chronic inflammation if the oral hygiene is poor. In a case using removable space regaining appliance, patient's cooperation is most important. If the distal root of primary second molar is comparably sound and alveolar abscess with alveolar bone loss is localized at mesial root, hemisection should be carried out for precise guide to eruption of the permanent first molar, restoration of masticatory fuction and solution to the discomfort of the patient

A unhealthy 58-year-old male patient required extraction of left upper second molar due to advanced periodontitis. Lidocaine contained 1 : 100000 epinephrine for left posterior superior alveolar nerve block was administered in the mucobuccal fold above the second molar to be treated at the local private dental clinic. After four hours of posterior superior alveolar block anesthesia, patient feeled double vision and discomfort of eyeball movement. At next day, he complained difficulty of left eyeball movement, vertigo and diplopia. He was referred to our department via local clinic and department of ophthalomology of our hospital. He was treated by medication and eyeball exercise, and then follow up check. The double vision and medial rectus muscle palsy disappeared patially after 2 months of block anesthesia. We described herein an ocular complication of diplopia and inferior rectus muscle palsy after posterior superior alveolar nerve block for extraction of left upper second molar, and review the cause or origin of this case. The autonomic nervous system is presented as the logical basis for the untoward systems of ophthalmologic sign likely to diplopia and inferior rectus muscle palsy, rather then simple circulation of anesthetic solution in the vascular network.

The gag reflex is a physiologic reaction which safeguards the airway from foreign bodies. But, an exaggerated gag reflex can be a severe limitation to a patient's ability to accept dental care and for a clinician's ability to provide it. The overactive gag reflex can be due to psychological factors or physiological factors, or both. Psychological factors can include fear of loss of control and past traumatic experiences. A 58-year-old man, scheduled for extraction of left upper second molar, left lower second and third molar and implantation of left upper second molar, and left lower second molar had no specific underlying medical problems. He had exaggerated gag reflex. Dental treatment was successfully performed using intravenous sedation. Intravenous sedation with midazolam and propofol was a useful management technique for reflex control during dental treatment extended to the posterior regions in the oral cavity.

본 연구는 교정치료시 발치가 안모의 수직 변화에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 규명하기 위해서 비발치군과 발치군으로 구분하였고, 발치군은 비교분석을 위해 제1소구치 발치군, 제2소구치 발치군, 제2대구치 발치군으로 구분하여 교정치료 전, 후의 안모의 수직변화 여부를 평가함으로서 발치가 안모의 수직변화에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 했다. 연구대상은 조선대학교 부속치과병원 교정과에 내원하여 교정치료를 받은 환자 중, 제2대구치까지 맹출하여 성장에 의한 변화요인이 적다고 인정되는 비발치군 남녀 50명, 발치군 남녀 88명으로 하였으며, 비발치군은 비교분석을 위해 42명의 제1소구치 발치군, 24명의 제2소구치 발치군, 22명의 제2대구치 발치군으로 구분하였다. 안모의 수직변화 여부를 규명할 수 있는 14개의 두부방사선 계측항목을 선정하여 교정치료 전, 후의 안모의 수직변화량을 측정하였고, $SPSS/PC^+$ 통계프로그램을 이용하여 교정치료 전, 후의 안모의 수직변화여부를 비교 분석함으로 써 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 교정적 발치여부에 관계없이 모든 군에서 교정치료 전,후의 두부방사선 계측치 사이에 통계학적인 유의성이 없었다. 2. 상, 하악 구치는 모든 군에서 교정치료에 의해 정출되었다. 이는 대부분의 교정치료의 역계 자체가 치아를 정출시키는 기전을 지니고 있음을 의미하며, 특히 발치에 의한 교정치료시 발치공간 폐쇄 및 치아배열을 위해 작용되는 역계로 인해 일어나는 결과로 보인다. 3. 제 2재구치 발치군에서 안모의 수직고경은 교정치료 후에 모두 증가되었다. 이는 치아배열 공간을 확보하기 위해 치열이 후방이동된 결과로 보인다. 4. 교정적 발치와 안모의 수직변화 사이에는 통계학적인 유의성이 없었다. 이는 안모의 수직변화와 교정적 발치는 아무런 관련이 없음을 나타낸다. 5. 두부방사선 계측항목 중 안모의 수직변화에 있어서 각 군 사이에 통계학적으로 유의성 있는 영향을 미치는 항목은 PP-MP, OP-MP, $\underline{1}$ to PP, $\overline{1}$ to MP였다.

Prophylactic removal of impacted third molars is a common procedure in dentistry, but the necessity of routine extraction is still controversial. When impacted third molars caused severe apical root resorption of the second molars, orthodontic traction of the third molars after extraction of the damaged second molars could minimize alveolar bone defect and preserve the patient's natural teeth. By well-planned orthodontic treatment, functional occlusion was established avoiding extraction of the impacted teeth and eliminating the possibility of a large bone defect after extraction.
