For about half a century. dental implants made of titanium have developed as a method of restoration for the tooth loss. In these days. the titanium implants seem to be considered as the alternative for the conventional prosthodontics. But its hard to say that the titanium implants are superior to the treatments that preserve the natural tooth. As this is a general opinion among dentists. the implant will not be able to be the alternative for all the prosthetic treatments. Clinically, there are many causes for extracting tooth. The severe destruction of the tooth structure or periodontal diseases leads to inevitable tooth extraction. When the complete cure is doubtful because of narrow intraoral visibility and improper accessibility in approaching to the tooth and periodontal lesion, we. clinicians often inevitably extract tooth. Passive treatments like conventional restoration, curettage or surgical flap cant be the perfect treatments for the tooth that has subgingival root caries or severe periodontal diseases involved furcation. Many clinicians might have been forced to pull out the relatively healthy tooth by the difficulties of approaching to the lesions and poor prognosis. Though the intentional tooth replantation is performed sometimes. as it doesnt have enough scientific foundation. it has not been considered as a popular treatment method yet. I have been felt keenly the necessity of positive tooth preservation, so I have been attempting the treatment that has new concept. calling Natural Tooth Implantation (NTI) clinically. NTI differs from the tooth replantation in the goal for the treatment and biological healing process. Now. I confirm that NT! is a very positive and valid method of tooth preservation. Like you can get from the name. NTI is the dental implant procedure using natural teeth and similar to the healing process of the titanium implants in many aspects. I have been using biocompatible composite resin. DRM. with NTI and got affirmative clinical results from that. So I would like to introduce.roduce.

This is a retrospective study on the patients with infection of the oral and maxillofacial region with the purpose of obtaining some useful data for diagnosis and treatment plan of that relatively common disease in dentistry. The used materials of study were 87 in total, including 52 male patients, 35 female patients who diagnosed and treated at the Department of the Dentistry in Hanyang Medical College Hospital for the period of Jan. 1990 to Dec. 1994. The author analyzed the distribution and incidence of sex, age, admission period, etiologic factors, etiologic teeth, treatment method of infections, pus culture, antibiotics sensibilities and medication. The result obtained as follows : 1. The developmental incidences by sex was superior in male by the ratio of 1.5 : 1 and the infection was most frequently occurred during the third decades(35.6%). 2. The number of admitted patients elevated in February, March, and April, and average of admission period was 9.8 days. 3. Main etiologic teeth showed on lower molar region in adult(63%) and upper molar region in primary dentition(46.1%). 4. Medications were administrated in all of the cases, and surgical incision and drainage were performed in 53% and extraction of the causative teeth were performed in 63.6% of all cases. 5. The most common involved fascial spaces were Buccal space(41.4%), Infraorbital space(27.6%), Submandibular space(16.1%),in order, and 9 cases(10.3%) were Ludwig's Angina. In 68.2% of the patients, and infection involved only one fascial space and in 21.8% of the patients, it involved to more fascial spaces. 6. The most causative organisms isolated from pus culture were Gram-positive facultative cocci(55.5%), and antibiotics sensitivities on the total isolated bacterial strains were exposed chloramphenicol(88.6%), Cephalothin(88.6%), Erythromycin(81.5%), Lincomycin(77.8%) in order, but it showed resistant on Gentamycin(58.3%), Tetracycline(56.5%), Methicillin(38.5%).

Cervical radicular pain has been recognized as a common cause of neck, shoulder and arm pain. The initial recommended therapy is based on the medical treatment by anti-inflammatory, analgesic agents, rest, traction and physical therapy. In the case of failure with these therapies, the classical alternative is a surgical discectomy, but this is associated with numerous risks inherent to invasive procedures. As a result, a number of percutaneous intradiscal therapies have developed over the last 3 decades, which have specifically focused on the pathology of the disc. However, these treatments have considerable limitations and success rates, and none allow for the extraction of a quantifiable amount of nucleus pulposus via a 17 gauge introducer using fluoroscopic guidance alone. Herein, we describe our experience using a $Dekompressor^{(R)}$ on a 52 year-old female patient with a cervical disc herniation. Percutaneous decompression in the treatment of cervical disc herniation was successfully performed, with a good outcome.

We experienced a rare case of oral squamous cell carcinoma arisen from gingival tissues overlying prolonged chronic osteomyelitis of the mandible. A 66 years old man complained of unhealed extraction sockets of left mandibular second premolar and first molar, and showed extensive leukoplakia in the gingival tissues of the same area. The inflammation of the socket granuloma became severe and extended into adjacent mandibular proper, resulted in diffuse suppurative chronic osteomyelitis of mandibular body, exhibiting irregular osteolytic changes of mandibular trabecular patterns in mottled radiolucent appearance. The leukoplakia was initially diagnosed under microscope, and the involved gingival tissues were radically removed. Thereafter, the gingival soft tissue inflammation involving the mandibular osteomyelitis was hardly healed for two years. During the period of repeated surgical treatments for the inflamed lesion, nine biopsies were taken sequentially. Until the eighth biopsy, there consistently showed the suppurative osteomyelitis with ingrowing gingival tissues into the bony inflammatory lesion. The gingival epithelium showed the features of leukoplakia but no evidence of malignant changes. However, the ninth biopsy, taken about 2 years after initial diagnosis, showed the early carcinomatous changes of the gingival epithelium. The neoplastic epithelial cells were relatively well differentiated with many keratin pearls, and infiltrated only into underlying connective tissues. So, we presumed that the present case of squamous cell carcinoma was caused by the persistent inflammatory condition of the mandibular osteomyelitis, and also suggest that the leukoplakia should be carefully removed in the beginning to prevent the neoplatic promotion of the chronic inflammation.

상악 전치의 매복은 제3대구치, 상악 견치, 상하악 제2소구치에 비해서 드물지만, 정중 과잉치, 외상, 치근만곡 등의 치근형성의 변이가 높은 빈도로 나타나기 때문에 다른 전치부에 비해서는 매복되는 비율이 높고, 보통 약 8세 이후의 초기 혼합치열기의 아동에서 관찰된다. 상악 중절치의 매복으로 인한 인접치아의 이동으로 공간상실과 함께 정중선 변이가 나타날 수 있고 낭종 등이 발생할 수 있으므로, 정확한 위치를 확인하고 적절한 치료 계획을 세우는 것이 중요하다. 치료 방법으로는 외과적 발거, 자발적 맹출의 관찰, 교정적 견인 등이 있으나, 매복치의 병적 변화가 없고, 치근의 발육이 양호하다면 기능과 심미성의 회복을 위해 교정적 견인을 시행한다. 이에 매복된 상악 전치들을 교정적 견인을 통해 정상적인 맹출방향으로 유도하여 양호한 치료결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

Oral and maxillofacial infection is a common complication in patients undergoing chemotherapy. The treatment of oral diseases in such patients differs from that administered to healthy patients. This paper reports a case of acute osteomyelitis of odontogenic origin following a recent chemotherapy session. The patient's condition was life-threatening because of neutropenic fever and sepsis that developed during the inpatient supportive care. However, the patient showed prompt recovery within 40 days following the use of appropriate antibiotics and routine dressing, without the requirement for surgical treatment, except tooth extraction. As seen in this case, patients undergoing chemotherapy are more susceptible to rapid progression of infections in the oral and maxillofacial areas. Therefore, accurate diagnosis through prompt clinical and radiological examination, identification of the extent of infection, and assessment of the patient's immune system are crucial for favorable outcomes. It is also necessary to eliminate the source of infection through appropriate administration of antibiotics. In particular, a broad-spectrum antibiotic with anti-pneumococcal activity is essential. Proper antibiotic administration and wound dressing are essential for infection control. Furthermore, close consultation with a hemato-oncologist is necessary for effective infection management based on the professional evaluation of patients' immune mechanisms.

Purpose: To evaluate the properties of antibiotic and NSAIDs administration before extract of the impacted mandibular third molar. Materials & Methods: No patient showed any sign of pain, inflammation, or swelling at the time of removal. A group of 50 patients was classified in Group 1(preemptive and oral medication was carried out for 3 days postoperatively, N=23) and Group 2(oral medication was carried out for 3 days postoperatively, N=27) subgroups. Clinical and radiologic factors were recorded for each case, and the rationale for assigning the patients to the groups was strictly random. The surgical technique was the same in all cases, and the follow-up period was 1 week. Parameters that were evaluated were infection, swelling, pain and differences in mouth opening. Results: We could not find any significant difference between the 2 groups regarding the evaluated parameters. Conclusion: The results of our study show that antibiotic and NSAIDs administration before the removal of lower third molars does not contribute to a decrease infection, swelling, pain or increase mouth opening. Therefore antibiotic and NSAIDs administration before the removal of lower third molars is not recommended for routine use.

근래에 비스포스포테이트(bisphosphonate) 투약의 부작용으로 악골괴사에 관한 보고들이 점차적으로 증가하고 있다. 최근에 보고된 유병율은 대략 0.8% - 12 % 정도이다. 하악은 상악보다 2배 정도 호발하는 것으로 보고되었고 이의 60 - 70 %는 치과진료와 연관성이 거론되었다. 임상적으로 골괴사 현상이 일어나기 전에 건강한 치주조직에 변화가 일어나는데 치유지연 점막궤양, 치아동요와 원인을 알 수 없는 연조직 감염등이 관찰되었다. 치아발거가 치과영역에서 가장 흔한 사전 처치행위로 알려져 있다. 장기적인 비스포스포네이트 투약시 세심한 예방적 치과진료가 이러한 심각한 괴사로 이어지지 않도록 하는데 절대적이다.
