Artecoll (Artes Medical Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) has recently been developed as a permanent synthetic cosmetic filler. We experienced an inflammatory granuloma resulting from a previous injection of Artecoll at the upper lip, which was regarded as a rare side effect of this filler. A 50-year-old female patient complained of swelling, dull pain, and heat in the right upper nasolabial fold area, which had started one week before her visit to Kyungpook National University Hospital. The patient received topical steroid therapy at a local clinic, which was not effective. At the injection site, a hard nodule was palpated and erythema was observed with mild tenderness. Antibiotic treatment and subsequent incision and drainage did not result in complete cure of the facial swelling, and the facial swelling and pain persisted. Computed tomography showed a lesion approximately 1-cm in size without clear boundaries and relatively increased nodular thickening. Finally, a subdermal lesion was removed via an intraoral vestibular approach. The lesion was diagnosed as inflammatory granuloma by a permanent biopsy. The patient had healed at two months after the filler injection. Although the soft tissue filler is widely used for cosmetic purposes, there is potential for complication, such as the inflammatory granuloma should be considered before treatment.

Facial feminization surgery (FFS) incorporates aesthetic and craniofacial surgical principles and techniques to feminize masculine facial features and facilitate gender transitioning. A detailed understanding of the defining male and female facial characteristics is essential for success. In this first part of a two-part series, we discuss key aspects of the general preoperative consultation that should be considered when evaluating the prospective facial feminization patient. Assessment of the forehead, orbits, hairline, eyebrows, eyes, and nose and the associated procedures, including scalp advancement, supraorbital rim reduction, setback of the anterior table of the frontal sinus, rhinoplasty, and soft tissue modifications of the upper and midface are discussed. In the second part of this series, bony manipulation of the midface, mandible, and chin, as well as soft tissue modification of the nasolabial complex and chondrolaryngoplasty are discussed. Finally, a review of the literature on patient-reported outcomes in this population following FFS is provided.

The purpose of this artic1e is to compare soft tissue profiles between Korean adults with normal occ1usion and malocclusin and to identify the differences between them. The subjects of this cephalometric study were 40 males with normal occlusion(Group 1), 27 females with normal occlusion(Group 2), 28 adults with Angle's Class II malocclusion(Group 3) and 41 adults with Angle's Class III malocclusion(Group 4). The results of this study were as follows ; 1) People with Angle's Class II malocclusion had tendency to have more labial tipping of lower teeth than people with normal occ1usion. Through NOA angle measurement, it was determined that people with Angle's Class II malocclusion had more protruding midface than people with normal occlusion and people with Angle's Class III malocclusion had retruding midface. 2) Through Powell's esthetic triangle analysis, it was determined that people with Angle's Class II malocclusion had retruding chin and protruding nose. 3) No significant differences between people with normal occlusion and maloclusion could be identified by measuring soft tissue profile angle basis of S-NS plane. 4) There were significant differences between groups with normal occlusion and malocclusion by measuring Facial convexity angle(Significance level 99%). 5) By measuring the distance between each landmark basis of N-Pog plane, People with Angle's Class II malocclusion were identified as having more protruding midface, but there were no significant differences between people with normal occlusion and Angle's Class III malocclusion. 6) By measuring the vertical dimension of the face, it was determined that the lower facial height was higher than the upper facial height in all groups, particularly in group with Angle's Class III malocclusion. 7) By measuring the lips basis of E-line and S-line, it was determined that people with Angle's Class III malocclusion had more, protruding lower lips than people with normal occlusion, while people with normal occlusion, while people with Angle's Class II malocclusion had more protruding upper lips. By measuring the distance between the superior sulcus and inferior sulcus basis of H-line, people with Angle's Class II malocclusion had thicker upper lips than the other's.

저자는 열성형재료와 진공성형기를 이용하여 소아치과 임상에서 사용되는 수 종의 장치를 제작하였다. 전공성형기의 구입에 따른 경제적인 부담은 있으나, 기존의 제작법에 비해 제작이 간편하여 시간이 단축될 뿐 아니라 plate 의 두께가 균일하므로 finishing이 거의 필요하지 않으며 더욱 심미적인 장치를 제작할 수 있다. 또한 조직과 접촉하는 부위는 soft한 열성형재료를 사용하여 치아 이동에 유리할 뿐 아니라, 기존의 resin에 비해 불쾌한 맛이 적다는 장점이 있다. Monomer가 없어 조직에 자극이 적고 mutagenous potential이 없으므로 생체 적합성이 뛰어나 조직의 적응이 용이하다. 복잡하거나 특수한 기능 및 견고성이 필요한 악기능교정 장치 등에서는 그 사용이 제한된다는 한계점이 있으나, 소아치과 임상에서 사용되는 대부분의 장치를 쉽고 간편하게 제작할 수 있어 앞으로 임상에서 널리 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The present study evaluated the effects of guided tissue regeneration using xenograft material(deproteinated bovine bone powder), with and without Calcium sulfate membrane in beagle dogs. Contralateral fenestration defects (6 ${\times}$ 4 mm) were created 4 mm apical to the buccal alveolar crest of maxillary premolar teeth in 5 beagle dogs. Deproteinated bovine bone powders were implanted into fenestration defect and one randomly covered Calcium sulfate membrane (experimental group). Calcium sulfate membrane was used to provide GTR. Tissue blocks including defects with soft tissues which were harvested following four & eight weeks healing interval, prepared for histo-phathologic analysis. The results of this study were as follows, 1. In control group, at 4 weeks after surgery, new bony trabecular contacted with interstitial tissue and osteocytes lie cell were arranged in new bony trabecule. Bony lamellation was not observed. 2. In control group , at 8 weeks after surgery, scar-like interstitial tissue was filled defect and bony trabecule form lamellation. New bony trabecular was contacted with interstitial tissue but defect was not filled yet. 3. In experimental group, at 4 weeks after surgery, new bony trabecular partially recovered around damaged bone. But new bony trabecule was observed as irregularity and lower density. 4. In experimental group, at 8 weeks after surgery, lamella bone trabecular developed around bone cavity and damaged tissue was replaced with dense interstitial tissue. In conclusion, new bone formation regenerated more in experimental than control groups and there was seen observe more regular bony trabecular in experimental than control groups at 4 weeks after surgery. In control group, at 8 weeks after surgery, the defects was filled with scar-like interstitial tissue but, in experimental group, the defects was connected with new bone. Therefore xenograft material had osteoconduction but could not fill the defects. We thought that the effective regeneration of periodontal tissue, could be achieved using GTR with Calcium sulfate membrane.

심한 골격성 III급 부정교합을 가진 성인환자는 많은 경우 심미성증진과 기능증진을 위해 악교정수술과 교정치료를 병행하여 치료하게 된다. 이러한 경우 진단과 치료계획 수립시 중요한 의미를 가지는 경조직 및 연조직 측모윤곽선의 형태를 정상교합자와 비교 분석하고, 두개악안면구조의 특성을 파악하여 부조화의 소재를 규명하고자 이 연구가 시행되었다. 골격성 III급 부정교합으로 진단된 환자 중 ANB각의 차이가 -2이하인 18세 이상의 성인남녀 환자 112명의 측모두부 규격 엑스선 사진을 연구자료로 이용하였으며 평균연령은 23.1세였다. 대조군으로는 성인 정상교합자 50명의 측모 두부 규격 엑스선 사진을 대상으로 하였으며 남, 녀 각 25명씩이었다. 전후방기준으로는 Nasion perpendicular to FH line을 사용하였으며, 수평 기준선으로는 FH line을 사용하였다. 이 연구에서 정상교합자와 비교한 심한 III급 부정교합자 안면골격의 특징을 다음과 같다. 1. 나지온점에서 프랑크프르트 수평선에 내린 수선을 기준선으로 III급 부정교합자의 경조직 측모 윤곽을 평가하였을 때, III급 부정교합자의 전두부, 상악의 전방돌출도는 정상과 유사하였으나, 하악은 정상에 비하여 심하게 돌출되어 있었다. 2. III급 부정교합자의 연조직 측모윤곽은 오목하였다. III급 부정교합자의 연조직 두께는 전두부에서는 정상과 차이가 없었으나, 상순은 두껍고 비상순각은 작았으며, 하순과 하순구부위의 연조직은 얇고 하순의 외번도는 작았다. 3. III급 부정교합자의 두개저(전방두개저의 길이, 후방두개저의 길이 및 안상각)는 정상에 비하여 작았다. 4. III급 부정교합자에서 두개저에 대한 중안면부(안와하연점)의 전후관계는 정상과 유사하였으나,중안면부의 길이는 짧았다. 5. III급 부정교합자에서 두개저에 대한 상악의 전후방관계는 정상과 유사하였으나 상악골의 길이는 짧았다. 6. III급 부정교합자에서 두개저에 대한 하악의 전후관계는 전방돌출되어 있었으며, 하악지 및 하악체 길이는 크고, 하악각이 크며, 이부각(Chin angle)이 작았다. 7. III급 부정교합자의 상악 절치는 전방경사되어 있었으며, 하악 절치는 설측경사되어 있었다.

The present study evaluated the effects of guided tissue regeneration using biodegradable membrane, with and without calcium-phosphate thin film coated deproteinated bone powder in beagle dogs. Contralateral fenestration defects(6 × 4 mm) were created 4 mm apical to the buccal alveolar crest on maxillary canine teeth in 5 beagle dogs. Ca-P thin film coated deproteinated bone powder was implanted into one randomly selected fenestration defect(experimental group). Biodegradable membranes were used to provide bilateral GTR. Tissue blocks including defects with overlying membranes and soft tissues were harvested following a four- & eight-week healing interval and prepared for histologic analysis. The results of this study were as follows. 1.......The regeneration of new bone, new periodontal ligament, and new cementum was occurred in experimental group more than control group. 2.......The collapse of biodegradable membranes into defects were showed in control group and the space for regeneration was diminished. In experimental group, the space was maintained without collapse by graft materials. 3........In experimental group, the graft materials were resorbed at 4 weeks after surgery and regeneration of bone surrounding graft materials was occurred at 8 weeks after surgery. 4.......Biodegradable membranes were not resorbed at 4 weeks and partial resorption was occurred at 8 weeks but the framework and the shape of membranes were maintained. No inflammation was showed at resorption. In conclusion, the results of the present study suggest that Ca-P thin film coated deproteinated bone powder has adjunctive effect to GTR in periodontal fenestration defects. Because it has osteoconductive property and prohibit collapse of membrane into defect, can promote regeneration of much new attachment apparatus.

연조직 측모는 교정치료와 진단에 있어서 중요한 부분이며, 안모 심미성에 대한 개념은 긴 역사를 가지고 변천하여 왔으며 지역이나 문화, 성별, 인종, 관습 등에 따라서 그 심미관이 상이하다. 본 연구에서는 대중들의 연조직측모 선호도를 조사하기 위하여 교정환자들의 주 연령층인 사춘기성장가속기 전의 초등학생, 사춘기 연령의 학생, 20대의 대학생들과 보호자의 주연령층인 40-50대 층을 대상으로 설문조사를 시행하였다. 설문지의 제작을 위해 기존의 심미적인 안면의 경, 연조직 형태에 관한 연구에서 얻은 연조직 평균계측치에 가까운 연조직 측모를 가진 20대 여성 한 명을 선정한 후 측모천연색 사진을 촬영하여 표준측모로 사용하였다 전체 설문지는 7 set로 이루어져 있으며, 각 set는 측모에 영향을 줄 수 있는 입술의 돌출도, 코, 이부의 높이와 Sn point를 표준측모에서 변화시킨 천연색 측모형들을 포함하고 있다. 가장 좋다고 생각되는 안모는 1점, 가장 좋지 않다고 생각되는 안모를 5점의 순서로 통계처리를 하여 각 응답자군들의 연조직측모 선호도를 알아보았으며, 성별, 연령에 따른 선호도의 차이를 조사하였다. 또한 대중들이 선호하는 안모와 선호하지 않는 안모와 하안면 측모의 심미적 평가를 위해 기존에 사용되는 기준선들간의 신뢰성을 평가하여 다음의 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 1.응답자의 신뢰도를 평가시 유년기에서 다른 group들에 비해 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 이는 유년기에서는 아직은 측모선호도에 대한 관심이 없는 것으로 평가하였다. 2. 측모 선호도의 연령, 성별 차이는 뚜렷하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 3. 가장 선호하는 측모보다 가장 선호하지 않는 측모에 대한 선택의 일치도가 더 높았다. 4.응답자의 group별로 순위의 일치성을 나타내는 Kendall의 일치계수(W)는 20대에서 가장 높게 나타났다 이는 다른 연령에 비해 측모에 대한 선호성에 대한 기준이 명확한 것을 나타낸다. 5. 응답자들이 가장 선호하는 측모의 구순돌출도는 심미적인 안모에 대한 이전 연구에서의 Ricketts의 nose tip-Pog line(E-line), Burstone의 Sn-Pog line(B-line)에 대한 평균치에 가까운 값을 나타내었다 이는 이들 기준선들이 임상적으로 유용하게 사용할 수 있음을 의미한다. 6. 응답자들이 가장 선호하지 않는 측모는 E-line과 B-line에 대해 구순이 너무 돌출되거나 후퇴된 경우였다. 7. 응답자들의 측모 선호도는 straight, concave, convex profile순으로 나타났다.

To our knowledge, the imaging features of costochondral grafts (CCGs) on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) have not been documented in the literature. We present the case of a CCG in the facial soft tissue to the anterior mandible, with changes mimicking a cartilaginous neoplasm. This is the first report to describe the CBCT imaging features of a long-standing graft in the anterior mandible. Implants or grafts may be incidental findings on radiographic images made for unrelated purposes. Although most are well-defined and radiographically homogeneous, being of relatively inert non-biological material, immune reactions to some grafts may stimulate alterations in the appearance of surrounding tissues. Biological implants may undergo growth and differentiation, causing their appearance to mimic neoplastic lesions. We present the case of a cosmetic autogenous CCG that posed a diagnostic challenge both radiographically and histopathologically.

Maxillary defects are inherently complex because they generally involve more than one midfacial component. In addition, most maxillary defects are composite in nature, and often require bony support, as well as a mucosal lining for reconstruction. Therefore, midfacial bone and soft tissue defects present a unique challenge because they require a complex arrangement of tissues in a relatively limited space. This might be difficult to achieve only with free osteocutaneous flaps. The use of bone grafts allows greater flexibility in a reconstruction but is limited by graft resorption. We report a case of a patient reconstructed with a lateral arm free flap, iliac bone graft, sagital split ramus osteotomy for the reconstruction of a right maxillary defect zygomatico-maxillary defect caused by a zygomatico-maxillary malignant tumor resection.
