전치부 영역에서 임플란트는 경, 연조직 조화가 필요하며 다양한 단계를 필요로 한다. 이 중 순측의 함몰은 연조직 이식을 통해 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 치은퇴축을 위한 피개가 아닌 함몰을 위한 연조직 이식은 공여부의 선택에 있어서 구개측에 비해 상악결절부위에서의 채득으로 연조직의 볼륨을 보다 증가시킬 수 있으며 출혈이나 술후 통증을 줄이고, 공여부의 치유를 빠르게 하는 장점이 있어 좋은 치료 선택이 될 수 있을 것이다.

Aims : The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there are any changes in taste sensitivity with advancing age and to see if smoking or oral hygiene can affect the taste sensitivity. Method : Nine hundred and thirty four subjects(458 male and 476 females) were included for the study and they were categorized into 4 age groups( under 20, 20 to 39, 40 to 59, and over 60 age group ). The electrical taste thresholds were measured using an electrogustometer for the 4 different sites in the oral cavity, I.e., tongue tip, tougue alteral, circumvallate papilla, and soft palate. Results : The elctrical taste thresholds were significantly incresed with advancing age in both gender, but the pattern of change is moere abrupt in female after 40. There were not significant differences in electrical taste threshold between smoking and non-smoking people. Taste thresholds were significantly lower in the groups with higher frequency of daily toothbrushing than the groups with lower frequency Conclusion : The electrical taste threshold is increased with aging. It is not influenced by smoking but by toothbrushing.

Renal cell carcinoma is the third most common metastatic tumor to the bone and soft tissues of the head and neck. The common sites of metastatic renal cell carcinoma in head and neck region are nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, oral mucosa, gingiva, tongue, palate, lip as the favored site. The present paper deals with one patient with metachronous oral tongue, nasal cavity and suspicious brain metastases after 2 years of renal cell carcinoma nephrectomy. Also, the patient had history of total thyroidectomy for thyroid follicular carcinoma. Total excision of nasal cavity and tongue mass were performed. Therapeutic aspects are briefly reviewed in literature.

In general, patients with neurofibromatosis type I have a higher risk than those with other types of neurofibromatosis of developing soft-tissue sarcomas related to the nervous system. We here present a 42-year-old man with neurofibromatosis type I who developed a protruding mass over only 2 weeks. The histopathological diagnosis was epithelioid sarcoma. Epithelioid sarcomas are rare and, to the best of our knowledge, no epithelioid sarcomas have been reported in patients with neurofibromatosis type I. Radical excision of the primary lesion was performed and postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy administered, as is recommended for epithelioid sarcoma. Our case emphasizes that patients with neurofibromatosis type I may develop malignant tumors.

Autologous fat grafts are widely used in soft-tissue augmentation and reconstruction. To reduce the unpredictability of fat grafts and to improve their long-term survival, cell-assisted lipotransfer (CAL) was introduced. In this alternative method, autologous fat is mixed and grafted with stromal vascular fraction cells or adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (ASCs). In regenerative medicine, ASCs exhibit excellent therapeutic potential and are also simple to harvest. Although the efficacy of CAL has been demonstrated in experimental and clinical research, studies on its safety in terms of oncologic risk have reported inconclusive results. In order to establish CAL as a viable stem cell therapeutic approach, it will be necessary to demonstrate its oncologic safety in basic and clinical studies. Doing so could transform the paradigm of clinical strategy and practice for the treatment of a wide variety of diseases.

Treacher Collins syndrome is a congenital disorder that is characterized with a wide range of cranio-facial deformities. Zygomatic hypoplasia or aplasia is one of the key features, and surgical reconstruction of the consequent depression on the zygomatic area is deemed necessary by many patients. Various surgical options are available-injectables, alloplastic materials, autologous grafting, and autogenous tissue transfer. It depends on each patient which technique to use. Here, we present a clinical case, in which bilateral free groin flaps were adopted in attempt to resolve the remnant aesthetic deformity associated with zygomatic depression, despite a series of previous surgical efforts, in a 25-year-old Treacher Collins syndrome male patient.

Frontonasal dysplasia is an uncommon congenital anomaly with diverse clinical phenotypes and highly variable clinical characteristics, including hypertelorism, a broad nasal root, median facial cleft, a missing or underdeveloped nasal tip, and a widow's peak hairline. Frontonasal dysplasia is mostly inherited and caused by the ALX genes (ALX1, ALX3, and ALX4). We report a rare case of a frontonasal dysplasia patient with mild hypertelorism, a broad nasal root, an underdeveloped nasal tip, an accessory nasal tag, and a widow's peak. We used soft tissue re-draping to achieve aesthetic improvements.

Madelung's disease (MD) otherwise known as Launois-Bensaude syndrome, multiple symmetrical lipomatosis, or benign symmetric lipomatosis, is a rare disease characterized by abnormal diffuse lipomatosis in proximal upper limbs and neck. Here, we report a rare case of MD. A 66-year-old man presented with massive growth of soft tissues in the cervico-occipital region of more than 2 years duration. Physical examination showed diffuse enlargement of the anterior neck (Madelung's collar) and three huge humps at the posterior neck. Under a diagnosis of MD, lipectomy via a single anterior transverse incision and liposuction were performed. This rare case report may be helpful for assessing patients with abnormal diffuse lipomatosis in the neck and proximal upper limbs.

Background: The results of treatment in functional velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) was not good compared to physician's common practice. Objectives: Authors conducted this study to evaluate the efficacy of fat injection on posterior pharyngeal wall in the functional velopharyngeal insufficiency as the supportive treatment. Materials and Methods: The preoperative assessment includes history of patients, the perceptual analysis of patient's voice, nasopharyngoscopic finding of velopharyngeal movements, nasometer, movement findings of soft palate during phonation and swalling. Fat which was taken from umbilical area was injected in 5 patients with conducted functional velopharyngeal insufficiency. Results: All 5 patients had good results in voice quality after fat injection. Conclusions: Fat injection is a good treatment method in functional velopharyngeal insufficiency as a supportive method.

연구개에 결함이 있는 사람의 발음은 부적절한 비음이 섞이게 되어 과비음성 비음이 되어 연구개를 복원해주는 시술을 하게 되는데, 과비음성 비음을 정량적으로 측정할 수있다면 시술 결과를 객관화 할 수 있게 된다. 현재 임상적으로 사용되고 있는 방법들은 관혈적이거나 고가의 장비를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 비음의 특징인 스펙트럼에서 zero 의 존재와 비강에 의한 포만트의 존재 사실, 그리고 선형 예측 모델을 이용하여 마이크로폰과 사운드 카드가 장착된 PC로 구현할 수 있는 새로운 과비음성 비음 추정 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 음성 신호의 스펙트럼에 zero가 존재하는 경우, 낮은 차수(order)의 선형 예측 모델이 그 음성을 발음한 성도 시스템에 정확히 적용되지 않는다는 점을 이용하여, 같은 음성에 대한 높은 차수의 선형 예측 모델과의 차이를 이용해서 과비음성의 정량화를 시도했다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 알고리즘은 기존의 Teager Operator를 이용한 알고리즘에 비해서 Nasonmeter 의 측정결과와 더 높은 통계적 상관관계를 보여주었다.
