Background: This study aimed to investigate the distribution and prevalence of intraosseous loop (anastomosis between posterior superior alveolar artery and infraorbital artery) in Koreans detected on computed tomography (CT) images taken prior to sinus augmentation surgery. Methods: From the 177 patients who underwent sinus augmentation with lateral approach at Ewha Womans University Department of Implant Dentistry, 284 CT scans were evaluated. The canal height (CH), ridge height (RH), and canal height from the sinus floor (CHS) were measured on para-axial views at the first premolar, first molar, and second molar. The horizontal positions of the bony canals in the lateral wall were also classified. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t test were used to estimate the statistical differences (p < 0.05). Results: The intraosseous loops were detected in 92 CT scans (32 %). The mean vertical height of the bony canals from the alveolar crest (CH) was $23.45{\pm}2.81$, $15.92{\pm}2.65$, and $16.61{\pm}2.92mm$ at the second premolar, first molar, and second molar, respectively. In the horizontal positions of the bony canals, intraosseous type was the most predominant. The canal heights more than 15 mm and less than 17 mm were most prevalent (33.7 %) and those under 13 mm were 12.0 %. Conclusions: The radiographic findings in this study could be used to decide the lateral osteotomy line avoiding potential vascular complication. However, only one third of the canals could be detected in CT scans; a precaution should be taken for the possibility of severe bleeding during lateral osteotomy.

Aplastic anemia is a disease characterized by general lack of bone marrow activity; It may affect not only the red blood cells but also the white blood cells and platelets, resulting in pancytopenia. Spontaneous gingival hemorrhage is present in some cases and it is related to the blood platelet deficiency. This case report presents the periodontal treatment of a patient with aplastic anemia. A 43-year-old female was referred for continuous gingival bleeding after periodontal treatment. Periodontal findings revealed generalized gingival imflammation, oozing of blood from gingival crevice, and it was diagnosed as adult periodontitis. Root planing and extraction of the upper left third molar with poor prognosis were put into operation after elevation of the platelet count with platelet transfusion. The extraction socket was sutured with 3-0 silk. Bleeding continued even after digital compression at the upper right second premolar, second molar, and left canine areas, which presented severe inflammation. Although platelets were transfused repeatedly, platelet count did not stay elevated since survival rate of the transfused platelets were low due to alloimmunization. Thrombin gauze packing was not effective. Bleeding ceased 3 days after treatment with transfusion of donor platelets. 20 days after the treatment, the gingiva was generally healthy except upper right second premolar and lateral incisor areas. The result of periodontal treatment was good, but bleeding control after treatment was troublesome. In the periodontal treatment of patient with aplastic anemia, elevation of the platelet count with platelet transfusion seems to be the best method for hemorrhage control.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze tooth movement and arch width changes in maxillary dentition following nonextraction treatment with orthodontic mini-implant (OMI) anchorage in Class II division 1 malocclusions. Methods: Seventeen adult patients diagnosed with Angle's Class II division 1 malocclusion were treated by nonextraction with OMIs as anchorage for distalization of whole maxillary dentition. Three-dimensional virtual maxillary models were superimposed with the best-fit method at the pretreatment and post-treatment stages. Linear, angular, and arch width variables were measured using Rapidform 2006 software, and analyzed by the paired t -test. Results: All maxillary teeth showed statistically significant movement posteriorly (p < 0.05). There were no significant changes in the vertical position of the maxillary teeth, except that the second molars were extruded (0.86 mm, p < 0.01). The maxillary first and second molars were rotated distal-in ($4.5^{\circ}$, p < 0.001; $3.0^{\circ}$, p < 0.05, respectively). The intersecond molar width increased slightly (0.1 mm, p > 0.05) and the intercanine, interfirst premolar, intersecond premolar, and interfirst molar widths increased significantly (2.2 mm, p < 0.01; 2.2 mm, p < 0.05; 1.9 mm, p < 0.01; 2.0 mm, p < 0.01; respectively). Conclusions: Nonextraction treatment with OMI anchorage for Class II division 1 malocclusions could retract the whole maxillary dentition to achieve a Class I canine and molar relationship without a change in the vertical position of the teeth; however, the second molars were significantly extruded. Simultaneously, the maxillary arch was shown to be expanded with distal-in rotation of the molars.

상악 전치부 후방 견인 시의 이동 양상 및 응력 분포를 건조 두개골을 전산화 단층 촬영에 의해 3차원 영상화한 유한 요소 모델 상에서 알아보고자 하였다. 피질골 절단술의 시행 여부와 고정원, 힘의 작용점을 각기 달리 설정하여 8개의 실험군을 구성하여 비교하였다. 통상적인 T-loop을 이용하여 공간폐쇄를 하는 경우 전치부는 후하방으로 경사이동 하였으며, 구치부에서도 약간 전방 이동하였다. 피질골 절단술을 동반하여 전치부를 견인한 경우, 전치부 골편에서의 응력 분포가 전반적으로 넓게 분포되었으며, 전치부 경사의 정도가 적은 반면에 변위량은 훨씬 더 많았다. 협측에서의 견인 시 상악 협측에 식립된 미니 임플랜트와 견치 Power arm간에 견인력을 가한 경우가 미니 임플랜트로 고정원이 강화된 제2소구치와 견치 브라켓 간에 견인력을 가한 경우보다 전치부의 후하방 경사 정도가 적었다. 구개측에서 Powerarm에 대한 견인 시 정중구개봉합 부위에 식립한 미니 임플랜트로부터 견인력을 가한 경우가 상악 제1, 2대구치 간 구개면에 식립된 미니 임플랜트로부터 견인력을 가한 경우보다 전치부의 후하방 경사 정도가 컸다. 이러한 결과로써 치아이동 시 피질골 절단술의 효과와 저항중심에 대한 교정력 벡터 조정의 의미를 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구의 목적은 3차원유한요소분석법을 이용하여 정상 상악 제2소구치의 협측부의 응력분포에 다양한 교합응력이 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 상악 제2소구치의 3차원유한요소모델을 형성한 후 형성된 모델에 3종류의 정적인 500N 점하중의 응력조건을 부여하였다. ANSYS 프로그램 (Swanson Analysis Systems, Inc., Houston, USA)으로 최대주응력과 최소주응력을 4개의 수평면 상(CEJ 상방 1 mm, CEJ 상방 0.5 mm, CEJ, CEJ 하방 0.5 mm)에서 분석하여 다음 결과를 얻었다. 1. peak stress가 협측 백악법랑경계를 따라 비대칭적인 모습으로 나타났다. 2. 압축응력 값은 법랑질의 압축파괴응력 범위 내에 있었지만 인장응력은 법랑질의 인장파괴응력 범위를 넘어섰다. 3. 비우식성치경부병소를 발생시키는 주요인은 설측교두의 협측경사면에 가해지는 교합압에 의한 인장응력이라고 보여진다.

하악 제2소구치의 선천결손은 비교적 흔히 나타나는 이상으로, 방사선사진에서 결손으로 확인되는 경우 여러가지 치료방법을 고려할 수 있다. 환자의 연령, 제2유구치 치근의 흡수상태, 총생의 정도, 악골의 성장, 측모의 형태, 절치의 돌출도, 하안 모고경 등을 고려하여 치료방법을 선택하게 된다. 그러나, 선천결손의 진단과 치료방법의 결정에 있어서 주의해야 할 점이 있다. 하악 제2소구치는 분화와 석회화과정에 있어서 가장 많은 변이를 보이는 치아이다. 경조직 형성은 $2\frac{1}{4}\sim2\frac{1}{2}$세에 시작되며, 대부분 적어도 $3\sim3\frac{1}{2}$세에는 시작된다. 그러나, 이 시기는 다른 영구치에 비해 그 범위가 매우 넓어서 $5\sim6$세, 드물게는 그 이후에 발육이 시작되는 경우도 있다. 그러므로 하악 제2소구치의 선천결손을 조기에 진단하기에는 어려움이 있으며, 선천결손으로 진단한 경우라도 오진할 가능성이 있음을 인식하는 것이 중요하다. 저자는 두 가지 증례를 통한 임상연구와 문헌고찰을 통해 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 두 증례 모두에서 하악 제2소구치의 두드러진 발육지연이 관찰되었다. 2. 치배형성 이후의 석회화 속도는 거의 정상적으로 나타난 것을 보아, 발육지연은 석회화 과정보다는 분화과정에 있었던 것으로 판단되었다. 3. 이와 유사한 증례를 접하였을 경우, 치아의 선천결손으로 단정하기 보다는 발육지연의 가능성을 함께 고려 할 필요가 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

Two brothers aged 15 1/6 and 12 2/3 years were diagnosed as Class I malocclusion with ectopic eruption of the upper left central incisor in the elder brother and etopic eruption in the upper right second premolar in the younger. All 4 second molars were extracted at the same time in both brothers. The treatment results were as follows. 1. In the elder brother, the third molars were fully erupted and their angulations were excellent at 3 years post-treatment. 2. In the younger brother, the lower right third molar was mesially erupted and upper third molars were still undergoing eruption at 3 years post-treatment. 3. Assessment of panex films of both brothers at aged 15 showed an earlier eruption of the third molars in the younger brother. 4. A longer post-treatment supervision of the third molars was required in the younger brother. 5. The facial probiles were enhanced and the ectopic eruptions were corrected in both brothers.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the displacement of and the stress distribution on the prosthesis, abutment, and its supporting tissues under functional load, and the effect of alteration in root length of 2nd abutment. The 3-dimensional finite element method was used and the finite element models were prepared in which the abutments of left mandibular 5 unit axed partial denture were canine, the 1st pre-molar and the 2nd molar, and the root lengths of canines were as follows. Model I : Root length of canine was 2mm longer than the 1st premolar Model II : Root length of canine was 2mm shorter than the 1st premolar Static compressive force of 300N was applied to connector between 2nd premolar & 1st molar, and then von Mises stress, displacement and reaction force were obtained. The results were as follows : 1. In fixed partial denture, prosthesis under load on pontic was rotated around mesio-distal long axis of it from longual side to buccal, and simultaneously bended in buccal and gingival direction with mesial end deformed in gingival direction and distolingual end in occlusal. 2. Clinical crowns of abutments were bended in the same directions with those in which prosthesis deforms. Due to that, roots of anterior abutments were twisted in counterclockwise with concentration of shear stress on distal or distobuccal sides of their cervices, and that of posterior was in clockwise with concentration of shear stress on mesiobuccal side of it in the same level with anterior abutments. 3. In case that root length of the 2nd abutment was longer than that of the 1st abutment, its displacement and reaction force which means the force tooth exerts on the surrounding periodontal tissues were smaller but shear stress on itself was larger than in the case root length of 2nd abutment was shorter.

The purpose of this investigation was to analyze the color of natural teeth by means of the OFC-1001 DP colorimeter which could measure in Adams Coordinate System (L,a,b system). The subjects were the 164 persons (82 men and 82 women) ranged from the teen to the sixtieth who had come to infirmary of dental college, Chosun University. The colors of incisal third, middle third and cervical third of maxillary right incisor, maxillary right canine and maxillary right second premolar were examined after the teeth were cleaned, polished and dried. The data were analyzed statistically by means of SPSS (Statistical Package For the Social Science). The results were as follows. 1. The means of L(lightness), a (red chromaticity), b (yellow chromaticity) of all teeth were measured (Table 2,3,4). 2. The color of teeth was yellowish-gray or bluish-gray. 3. The L value and b value of the cervical third was greater than those of the incisal and middle third. 4. The L value of maxillary 2nd premolar was greater than those of maxillary incisor md maxillay canine. 5. The a & b values of maxillary canine were greater than those of maxillary incisor and maxillary 2nd premolar. 6. The average values of L,a,b of teeth between male and female were not significant. 7. The L values of teeth were decreasing and the b values of teeth were increasing as the age was increased, but there was no corelation between the a values and aging.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to identify the complex course of the mandibular canal using 3D reconstruction of microCT images and to provide the diagram for clinicians to help them understand at the interforaminal region in Korean. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Twenty-six hemimandibles obtained from cadavers were examined using microCT, and the images were reconstructed. At both the midpoint of mental foramen and the tip of anterior loop, the bucco-lingual position, the height from the mandibular inferior border, the horizontal distance between two points, and position relative to tooth site on the mandibular canal were measured. The angle that the mental canal diverges from the mandibular canal was measured in posterior-superior and lateral-superior direction. RESULTS. The buccal distance from the mandibular canal was significantly much shorter than lingual distance at both the mental foramen and the tip of anterior loop. The mandibular canal at the tip of anterior loop was significantly located closer to buccal side and higher than at the mental foramen. And the mental canal most commonly diverged from the mandibular canal below the first premolar by approximately $50^{\circ}$ posterior-superior and $41^{\circ}$ lateral-superior direction, which had with a mean length of 5.19 mm in front of the mental foramen, and exited to the mental foramen below the second premolar. CONCLUSION. These results suggest that it could form a hazardous tetrahedron space at the interforaminal region, thus, the clinician need to pay attention to the width of a premolar tooth from the mental foramen during dental implant placement.
