The authors assessed if there is a relationship between joint effusion and the presence of pain, and between joint effusion and disc displacement in 446 temporomandibular joints of 223 subjects who visited the Department of Oral Medicine, Kyungpook National University Hospital with the complaints of temporomandibular joint problem. The amount of joint effusion and the position of disc were determined from magnetic resonance images of the temporomandibular joints. The position of disc was classified into normal disc position, disc displacement with reduction (DDWR), and disc displacement without reduction (DDWOR). The amount of joint effusion was graded according to the extent of joint area of high signal intensity on T2-weighted MR images. These findings were correlated with one another and statistically analyzed. The results were as follows; 1. The incidence of temporomandibular joint pain Was higher in the joints with higher amount of joint effusion (P<0.001). 2. The proportion of temporomandibular joints with higher amount of effusion increased in the joints with more advanced articular disc displacement (P<0.001).

실험동물의 TMJ 내에 포르말린으로 유도한 염증성 통증 모델에서 홍삼 및 흑삼 추출물이 통증 발생과 조절에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 홍삼 혹은 흑삼 추출물을 TMJ 내에 투여한 후 통증 행위반응의 변화를 관찰하였고, 또한 실험동물의 연수를 적출하여 Nrf2 경로의 활성 변화를 단백정량분석법을 활용해서 분석한 결과 먼저, 포르말린을 TMJ에 주입한 결과 안면부 통증행위반응이 유의하게 증가되었다. 이것을 토대로 홍삼 및 흑삼 추출물의 경구 투여한 결과 포르말린에 의해 유도된 실험동물에서 통증행위 반응이 효과적으로 감소되었고, 단회투여보다 반복투여가 포르말린 2차 통증행위반응 경감에 더 효과적으로 나타났다. 또한 홍삼 및 흑삼 추출물의 반복 투여 시 포르말린에 주입에 의해 증가된 연수에서의 Nrf2 단백 발현량을 감소시켰고, 간과 신장의 독성검사에서도 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 홍삼 및 흑삼 추출물은 간과 신장을 부작용을 나타내지 않으면서 포르말린으로 유도된 안면부 통증과 Nrf2의 발현의 조절에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

In a situation where a vertical dimension has to be increased, the normal occlusion, function and aesthetics should be restored after taking into consideration the neuromuscular system and temporomandibular join. In order to do this, the provisional prosthesis should be made according to the patient's information. Moreover, the period of adjustment should be made through the provisional prosthesis modification, if necessary. The patient is then transferred to the final prosthesis to obtain results that are satisfactory. In the modern-day world, provisional prosthesis are replicated using three dimensional scanning and computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) then made into final prosthesis. The adaptability of stomatognathic system can be judged by the PMMA provisional restoration. Functional and aesthetical aspect can be obtained. The adjustment period can be shortened by an intraoral correction and proper wear between provisional restorations. By using the CAD/CAM technology that transfers the information right into the final prosthesis.
