Purpose: Ingrown toenails are a common disease in the adolescent period and the treatments could be more conservative for this early stage of the disease. This study is a case series on the results of a gutter splint for an adolescent ingrown toe nail as a simple, comfortable treatment method. Materials and Methods: From 2011 to 2018, 22 patients (mean age, 12.2 years; range, 8~15 years) with ingrown toenails were treated with a gutter splint. There were 16 boys and 6 girls with 7 patients on both great toes, and additional 4 both corners of a nail, giving a total of 33 splints. Flat, plastic straws and glue or suture were used to protect the nail corners under local anesthesia. The medical records were reviewed retrospectively and phone calls were made to obtain the long-term results. Results: Fifteen splints were fixed with a suture and the other 18 splints were fixed with glue. There were 9 cases of recurrence out of 33 gutter splints, 8 out of 15 sutured splints and 1 out of 18 glued splints (p=0.010). There was no gender (p=0.383) or age (p=0.305) difference in the number of recurrences. Conclusion: For growing people, ingrown nails can be cured easily by conservative treatment for a transiently shortened or broken toenail. The glued gutter splint had a reasonable success rate as a first line treatment.

혼합 치열기에서 유치의 탈락 및 영구치의 맹출 과정이 순조롭게 이루어지는 것은 중요한 일이다. 맹출 중인 치아는 인접치 유무, 유치의 흡수속도, 유치의 조기상실, 만기잔존, 국소병소나 입술, 혀, 저작근 등의 다양한 요인들에 의해 영향 받을 수 있으며, 이러한 요소들 사이의 균형이 깨지게 되면 인접치 간의 관계가 변하고 심각한 부정교합이 초래될 수 있다. 본 증례는 유치열 및 혼합치열을 가진 어린이들에서 상하악 구치부 교합면에 접착된 교합 거상 금속 스플린트(bite raising metal splint)가 치열에 미친 영향에 대해 보여주고 있다. 이들은 스플린트로 인한 유치의 만기잔존으로 영구치 맹출에 방해를 받거나, 전치부 개방교합, 제 1대구치의 저위 맹출 등 혼합 치열기 발달에 큰 영향을 받고 있었다. 치료로써 고속 핸드피스를 이용하여 스플린트를 제거하고 주기적 점검을 통해 교합변화 및 영구치 맹출 양상을 관찰하였다.

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the effect of simultaneous application of arthrocentesis and occlusal splint. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study of 43 patients (3 males, 40 females) whose symptoms had improved was conducted at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dong-A University Hospital between 2008 and 2010. Subjects were divided into three groups: Group A (17 patients with arthrocentesis and occlusal splints simultaneously applied), Group B (13 patients whose symptoms did not improve with occlusal splints, undergoing arthrocentesis after occlusal splint use for 8 weeks), and Group C (13 patients that only used occlusal splints). We compared these groups in maximum comfortable opening (MCO) and the visual analogue scale of pain and noise. Follow-up was performed at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. Results: The improvement of symptoms was noted in all three groups, but Group A had a quicker improvement than the other groups, in terms of pain reduction and MCO increases. Conclusion: The simultaneous application of arthrocentesis and occlusal splints can reduce patient discomfort more quickly.

Nasal bone fractures are often accompanied by septal fractures or deformity. Posttraumatic nasal deformity is usually caused by septal fractures. Submucosal resection and septoplasty are commonly used surgical techniques for the correction of septal deviation. However, septal perforation or saddle nose deformity is a known complication of submucosal resection. Hence, we chose to perform septoplasty, which is a less invasive procedure, as the primary treatment for nasal bone fractures accompanied by septal fractures. During septoplasty, we used a bioabsorbable mesh as an internal splint. We used the endonasal approach and inserted the mesh bilaterally between the mucoperichondrial flap and the septal cartilage. The treatment outcomes were evaluated by computed tomography (CT) and the nasal obstruction symptom evaluation (NOSE) scale. The CT scans demonstrated a significant improvement in the septal deviation postoperatively. The symptomatic improvement rated by the NOSE scale was greater at 1 month and 6 months after surgery compared to the preoperative status. There were no cases of extrusion or infection of the implant. In cases of moderate or severe septal deviation without dislocation from the vomerine groove on the CT scan, our technique should be considered one of the treatments of choice.

Purpose: To evaluate the radiological and clinical effects of early weightbearing after distal reverse oblique osteotomy of bunionette. Materials and Methods: Between 2009 and 2015, 52 patients who underwent surgical treatment at our hospital for bunionette deformity with a minimum follow up of one year were included in the study. Postoperatively, foot cast was applied and full weightbearing was permitted in 28 patients. And short leg splint was applied with only partial weightbearing using crutches allowed in 24 patients. Clinical scores were evaluated. Radiologically, the 4th~5th intermetatarsal angle (IMA), and 5th metatarsophalangeal angle (MPA) were analyzed preoperatively and at the final follow up visit. Results: The visual analogue scale and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society scores improved in the partial weightbearing group and full weightbearing group, but without significant differences. The average 4th~5th IMA and average 5th MPA correction also did not showed significant differences between the partial weightbearing group and full weightbearing group. Moreover, the full weightbearing group did not encourage non-union rate compared with the partial weightbearing group. Conclusion: Effective bone union may be achieved through early weightbearing, resulting in better clinical outcomes. It is considered that early weightbearing did not have any effect on the changes of IMA and bone union.

전치부의 심한 교모는 측방운동 중 구치부를 교모로부터 보호하는 전방유도의 상실을 촉진하며, 구치부의 상실은 교합의 부조화 및 수직고경의 감소를 초래한다. 또한 다수의 치아상실과 치아 마모로 인해 교합이 붕괴된 환자 치료시에는 정확한 임상 및 방사선 검사, 진단용 왁스업을 이용하여 수직고경 상실에 대한 여부를 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 본 증례의 환자는 44세 여성환자로 이갈이와 이악물기 습관으로 전체적인 치아 마모 및 구치부 상실로 저작기능 및 발음, 심미적 불편감을 호소하였으며, 보철적 치료를 통해 저작기능 회복 및 심미적 안모 개선을 주소로 내원하였다. 과도한 치아 마모와 상, 하악 구치부의 결손으로 감소한 수직교합고경 및 전치부의 심한 수직피개를 보였다. 모형 분석과 진단납형을 통해 수직고경 증가를 결정하였으며, 고정성 보철물로 전악수복을 계획하였다. 안정된 치료위로의 적응을 위해 CAD (Computer aided design)소프트웨어로 디자인한 3D(3-Dimensional) 프린팅 교합안정장치를 이용하여 단계적으로 수직고경에 대한 적응도를 확인하였으며, 이 후 임시치아로 수복하여 4개월의 적응기간 후 전체 치열은 금속도재관 및 임플란트로 수복하여 심미적 및 기능적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

The foot type is classified into normal, high or low arch according to either foot print or medial longitudinal arch (MLA) height. Plantar fasciitis, heel pain, Achilles tendinitis, stress fracture, metatarsalgia, knee pain, shin splint pain, and etc are common foot disorders and associate to the foot type. The purpose of this study was to evaluate several suggested bony inclination used to classified the abnormal foot and if the arch index (AI) was correlated with foot morphology. Lateral view and dorso-plantar view of radiographic images and flatbed scanner measurements obtained from 57 college students were analyzed. Results showed that AI measured in this study was higher than Caucasian Americans and European, but similar with African. The ethnic origin could influent the AI distribution. The AI provided a simple quantitative means of assessing the structure of lateral and medial longitudinal arches. The correlation coefficients of true bone height with AI could be further improved by normalized foot width rather than foot length. AI also demonstrated as a good indicator of inclination between calcaneus-fifth metatarsal (CalM5) and calcaneus-first metatarsal (CalX), it is a good means to classify the foot type.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of occlusal splints on the masseteric silent period and the changes of the masseteric silent period after experimental bruxism with occlusal splints. In nine subjects, anterior occlusal splints were fabricated. The jaw-jerk reflex was induced by tapping over mandibular symphysis area with solenoid driven hammer and electromyogram of left masseter muscle was recorded. In the recorded electromyogram of left masseter muscle the silent period duration was measured. This procedure was done before insertion of anterior occlusal splints, after insertion of anterior occlusal splints, after 30 min experimental bruxism with anterior occlusal splints, and 3hr after removal of anterior occlusal splints. The result were as follows; 1. The mean silent period duration was increased after insertion of occlusal splints compared with the mean silent period duration before insertion of occlusal splints. 2. There was no change of the mean silent period duration after 30 min experimental bruxism with occlusal splints compared with the mean silent period duration after insertion of occlusal splints. 3. 3hr after the removal of occlusal splints, the mean silent period duration showed no difference from the mean silent period duration before insertion of occlusal splints.
