Periodontal supporting tissue goes through destruction by chronic inflammatory periodontal disease as two aspect. One is qualitive aspect such as alteration of periodontium, the other is quantitative aspect such as alveolar bone loss. According to many authors, PDL is responsible for biting force, and there are two mean. for measuring PDL's function - mobility test and biting force test. This study was conducted to compare the biting force with remaining bone level, that is, quantitative aspect of periodontium, in anterior and premolar teeth at periodontal maintenance phase. 17 patients on periodontal maintenance phase during 6 months at minimum were selected for this study. For the same condition, 4 anterior, canine, premolar teeth were tested by MPM-3000 bite-force register at the same time(a.m.l0-12), the same position, the same posture, by the same examiner. Patients of TMI), ill-fitting pros thesis, general disease, malocclusion and the teeth of TFO, absence of opposing teeth, malposition were excluded. Remaining bone level was measured on the panorama X-ray film through 5 level from 1mm below CEJ to root apex. Teeth were examined twice, and bigger one was selected. If the values showed large difference. examinatin was re-done and the mean was selected. The results were as follows ; 1. In the 4 anterior group, as the remaining bone is decreased, the average of maximal biting force is decreased. Especially, at 3/5 bone level, maximal biting force is decreased significantly(p<0.01). 2. In the canine group, as the remaining bone is decreased, the average of maximal biting force is decreased. Especially, at 2/5 bone level, maximal biting force is decreased significantly(p<0.01). 3. In the premolar group, as the remaining bone is decreased, the average of maximal biting force is decreased. Especially, at 3/5 bone level, maximal biting force is decreased significantly(p<0.05). From the results of this study, clinicians could utilize these efficiently when they have to determine the proper restorative materials, time for tooth extraction, treatment plan, prognosis.

과잉치는 정상치판(dental lamina)의 과도한 증식의 결과로 발생되어 가족적 성향을 보이며, 쇄골두개이형성(Cleidocranial dysplasia), Gardner 증후군 등의 여러 질환과 관련되어 나타나기도 한다. 그 빈도는 유치열에서 $0.3{\sim}0.8%$, 영구치열에서 $1.0{\sim}3.5%$이고, 남성에서 호발되며(2 : 1), 상악에서 더 많이 발생한다(9 : 1). 상악에서는 mesiodens라고 불리는 중절치 사이의 위치가 가장 흔한 부위이고, 그 다음은 fourth molar와 측절치 부위이다. 하악에서는 소구치 부위가 가장 흔한 부위이고 전치부위에서는 약 2%로 매우 드물게 발생한다. 과잉치의 만기 잔존은 치간 이개, 인접한 치아의 맹출 장애, 치근 흡수 등을 야기하고 과잉치와 관련되어 함치성 낭종이 발생될 수 있으므로 조기진단과 적절한 치료가 중요하다. 본 두 증례는 비교적 드물게 나타나는 하악에 발생한 과잉치로, 하악 전치부와 소구치부에 발생한 과잉치를 발거하고 교정치료를 시행하여 양호한 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

매복치란 정상적으로 맹출해야 하는 시기를 지나서도 맹출되지 않고 구강점막하 또는 악골내에 묻혀 있는 치아로 대부분 영구치에서 발생하며, 유치의 매복은 매우 드물게 나타난다. 유치의 매복은 제2유구치에서 가장 많이 나타난다. 매복된 유치는 계승 영구치의 발육 및 맹출을 방해하고, 인접치의 경사이동을 야기해 부정교합을 일으킬 수 있다. 증례 1은 하악 좌측 제2유구치의 조기 유착으로 인해 해당 치아와 계승 영구치인 하악 좌측 제2소구치가 매복된 증례로, 유착된 유구치를 발거한 후에 상실된 공간을 회복함과 동시에 계승 영구치의 자발적 맹출을 기대하며 관찰 중이다. 증례 2는 상악 우측 제2유구치의 치근 발육부전에 따른 맹출력 부족으로 매복된 증례이다. 상실된 공간확보 후 자발적 맹출을 기대하였으나 유구치가 맹출되지 않았고, 초진시 선천적 결손으로 진단된 계승 영구치인 상악 우측 제2소구치가 매복된 유구치를 우회하여 맹출하였다. 증례 3은 맹출 중인 유구치가 유착된 증례로, 주기적 방사선 검사를 통해 유착된 유구치의 흡수 과정과 계승 영구치의 맹출 양상을 관찰하기로 하였다. 증례 4는 맹출 중인 유구치의 치근발육부전 및 맹출 경로 이상으로 해당 유구치의 매복 및 계승 영구치가 변위된 증례로 계승 영구치의 발육을 위해 매복된 유구치를 발거하기로 하였다. 유치의 매복은 매우 드물고 발병 원인에 대해서는 다양한 의견이 있다. 치료법으로는 매복된 유치가 계승 영구치의 발육 및 맹출을 방해한다면 외과적 발거를 우선 고려 할 수 있고, 발거가 인접치의 발육에 영향을 줄 수 있다면 인접치 맹출 후로 그 발거 시기를 늦출 수 있다. 또한 맹출공간 확보를 통해 자발적 맹출을 기대할 수 있다.

The objective of this experiment is to observe structural differences in the othodontic movement of vital (control group) and devitalized (experimental group) teeth in the mongrel dogs. The 5 utilized dogs in this experiment were approximately 1 year of age and their average weight was about 12 Kg. Endodontic therapy was performed on the 2nd premolars in upper & lower jaws of each animal under the general anesthesia by intravascular injection of 25mg/kg of pentobarbital sodium. The canals of the teeth were obturated by using gutta percha in conjunction with root canal sealer (AH26 Densply). One of the roots in the 2nd premolars was hemisected to make an extraction space for the devitalized teeth to be moved. The edgewise technique was employed for the movement of the teeth. Orthodontic models and intraoral roentgenograms were taken before and after orthodontic tooth movement. The open coil springs (.010 x .040) were used at interbraket space in order to provide equal forces (75gm) between the teeth in each arch wire. After 13 weeks of active orthodontic tooth movement, dogs were sacrified and the experimental results w ere examined through the intraoral radiography, microscopic examination and scanning electromicroscopic examination at the root sulfate. From the results of the study, the following conclusions may be drawn: The root resolution and cemental deposition were observed within the pressure and tension site in both group. 2. The root resorbed lacunae were observed in the cementum and/or into the dentin in both group. 3. The prominent osteoblastic activities were observed on the alveolar margin in the tension site in both group. 4. A few of blood vessels were observed in the pressure site, but also lots of blood vessels were observed in the tension site especially in the periphery of the alveolar bone in both group. 5. In the pressure site, resorbed lacunae were formed with deep and narrow cavity in the control group; the shallow and wide cavity in the experimental group. 6. In the pressure site, the repaired cementum or cementoid tissue was lined on cementum in the experimental group, but not in the control group. 7. There was no significant difference between external root resolution of endodontically and vital teeth when both were subjected to orthodontic forces.

The author transplanted periodontally-diseased teeth which had been treated with citric acid into a clinically healthy extraction sockets and periodontally-affected extraction sockets, and compared with the healing processes within these tissues. Recipient sites were prepared by surgically removing a part of alveolar bone of premolars of adults dogs, placing elastic orthodontic ligatures for 8weeks, thereby inducing periodontal disease. The diseased roots were extracted and transplanted into healthy extraction sockets, and these were designated as control group 1. Diseased roots transplanted into diseased sockets were designated as control group 2. Diseased roots which had been root planed, treated with citric acid and transplanted into healthy sockets were designated as experimental group 1, while identically treated roots which had been transplanted into diseased sockets were designated as experimental group 2. Observations were made at weeks 2, 8 and 12, with following results. 1. At week 2, experimental group 2 showed some inflammatory cell infiltration in the connective tissue above the extraction sockets, while control groups showed less inflammatory or foreign body reactions throughout the experiment. 2. In both control groups, root surface resorption was observed throughout the experiment, while experimental groups showed a little resorption. 3. Control group 1 & 2 showed ankylosis by newly-formed bone ground the resorbed root surfaces, while experimental group 1 & 2 displayed collagen fibers which are not functionally-arranged, with random, loose arrangement or parallel orientation to root surfaces, and newly-formed bone outside of them. 4. In both control groups & experimental groups which had been transplanted into a clinically healthy extraction sockets & periodontally affected extraction sockets groups, histological differences were not significant. 5. Root resorption or ankylosis in control group 1 & 2 had increased quantitatively as experiment progressed. 6. New bone formation developed from the base and lateral wall of extraction sockets. In both control groups & experimental groups, root surfaces lying next to the upper portion of extraction sockets showed little alveolar bone formation and surrounded by connective tissue fiber at weeks 2 & 8, while at weeks 12, they did show alveolar bone formation. 7. At week 12, experimental group 2 showed numerous cells which appeared to be periodontal ligament cells, with functionally arranged connective tissue fibers between the roots and alveolar bone.

Any fracture passing through the socket of a teeth is compounded intraorally, even if the fracture is not displaced and the tooth is firm in its socket. Before the advent of antibiotic therapy the danger of infection in a compounded fracture posed severe problems in treatment. Infection is reduced by antibiotic therapy but prolonged use of antibiotics is not justified in an attempt to save a tooth which might eventually be sacrificed. There is still controversy in the management of third molar in mandibualr angle fracture, particulary in regard to their retention or removal at the time of fracture treatment. So we surveyed the 159 patients who were treated with open reduction of mandibular angle fracture containing third molar in fracture line, and compared with the postoperative infection rate depending on time intervals between injury and operation, eruption state of third molar, non-extraction or extraction of third molar related to eruption state, non-extraction or extraction of third molar related to condiition of third molar and its surrounding periodontium and were to propose treatment guidline of third molar in mandibular angle fracture The results obtained were as follows : 1. There were no statistical significance between the time from injury to operation and postoperative infection. 2. There were no statistical significance between eruption state of third molar and postoperative infection. 3. In case of retention of the third molar, there were no statistical significance between eruption state of third molar and postoperative infection, but in case of extraction, postoperative infection was high rate in complete impacted cases. 4. There were no statistical significance between non-extraction or extraction of third molar and postoperative infection depending on condition of third molar. There are no difference in infection rate statistically according to the time from injury to operation, eruption state and condition of third molar, but retention of third molar revealed lowered infection rate in completely impacted cases. By terms of the manegement of third molar, we should extract or preserve third molar in the line of the mandibular angle fracture according to possibility of infection.

A static, unilateral, and focal bone depression located lingually within the ascending ramus, identical to the Stafne's bone cavity of the angle of the mandible, is being reported. During development of the mandible, submandibular gland inclusion may lead to the formation of a lingual concavity, which could contain fatty tissue, blood vessels, or soft tissue. However, similar occurrences in the ascending ramus at the level of the parotid gland are extremely rare. Similar cases were previously reported in dry, excavated mandibles, and 3 cases were reported in living patients. A 52-year-old African American male patient was seen for pain in the mandibular teeth. Panoramic radiography showed an unusual concavity within the left ascending ramus. Cone-beam computed tomography confirmed this incidental finding. The patient was cleared for the extraction of non-restorable teeth and scheduled for annual follow-up.

Statement of problem. Relatively low success rate of root analogue implant system was supposed to be due to the time duration between extraction and implant installation. The use of three-dimensional computer tomography and the reconstruction of objects using rapid prototyping methods would be helpful to shorten this time. Purpose. This aim of this study was to evaluate the application possibility of the 3-dimensional computer tomography and the rapid prototyping to root analogue implants. Material and methods. Ten single rooted teeth were prepared. Width and height of the teeth were measured by the marking points. This was followed by CT scanning, data conversion and rapid prototyping model fabrication. 2 methods were used; fused deposition modelling and stereolithography. Same width and height of this models were measured and compared to the original tooth. Results. Fused deposition modelling showed an enlarged width and reduced height. The stereolithography showed more exact data compared with the fused deposition modelling. Smaller standard deviation were recorded in the stereolithographic method. Overall width error from tooth to rapid prototyping was 7.15% in fused deposition modelling and 0.2% in stereolithography. Overall height showed the tendency of reducing dimensions. Conclusion. From the results of this study, stereolithography seems to be very predictable method of fabricating root analogue implant.

1933년 Dewey와 Zugsmith가 처음 ovate pontic을 소개한 이후 1990년대 말부터 임상적으로 널리 사용되고 있다. Ovate pontic은 심미적이고 위생적인 자연치의 emergence profile을 더 정교하게 재현할 수 있는 방법으로 알려져 있다. 특히, 상악 전치부가 상실된 경우 발치 시기부터 ovate pontic의 형태를 가진 레진 임시수복물을 제작해 줌으로서 치간유두를 보존시켜 치간공극의 발생을 최소화하여 심미적이고 발음의 이상이 없는 최종보철물을 제작할 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 치아상실부위에서 치간유두의 상실을 최소화하고 자연치와 유사한 emergence profile을 지닌 보철물을 제작하기위해 ovate pontic을 이용하여 처치한 치험예를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of 5% tetracycline(Tc) gel on healing of gingival tissue and change of diseased root surface when used with nonsurgical procedure. 7 patients with advanced periodontitis were received thorough scaling and root planning, followed by saline irrigation on 10 randomly selected control teeth and Tc gel application for 5 minutes with specifically designed plastic instrument of 10 test teeth in contralateral side. At 0, 1, 7, 14, and 21 days after treatment, biopsy and extraction were carried out. At day 7, Tc group showed decreased inflammation and delayed proliferation of pocket epithelium in comparison with control group which was continued for all experimental days. Scanning electron microscopic finding revealed demineralized and cleaned root surface with exposed dentinal tubules in Tc gel group. In the present study, clinically successful result is expected with combined use of nonsurgical periodontal therapy and intrapocket application of Tc gel.
