This study describes the clinical steps taken in the treatment of a patient who had an avulsed right upper central incisor that presented with incomplete root development and chronic apical periodontitis. A 7-year-old boy was referred from a private dentist to a dental office specializing in endodontics. The tooth had remained in a dry environment for 20 minutes, and tooth replantation was performed at an emergency appointment. After clinical and radiographic examinations, root canal decontamination was performed, followed by several changes in intracanal calcium hydroxide medication. Blood clot formation was attempted, but bleeding within the root canal was insufficient; therefore, we opted for an intracanal medication change to stimulate mineralized tissue formation in the apical region. Root obturation was performed 45 days after the last change of intracanal medication, and clinical, radiographic, and tomographic follow-up examinations were performed at 3, 6, 18, and 40 months after the endodontic intervention. The increase in thickness and length of the root structure and the absence of root resorption were verified through follow-up examinations. Therefore, it was concluded that the procedures used were successful for tooth replantation.

Objective: To compare the positions of the mandibular premolars in Angle Class I subjects according to vertical facial type. The results will provide a theoretical basis for predicting effective tooth movement in orthodontic treatment. Methods: Cephalometric parameters were determined using cone-beam computed tomography in 120 Angle Class I subjects. Subjects were categorized as short, normal, and long face types according to the Frankfort mandibular angle. Parameters indicating the position of the mandibular right premolars and the mandible were also measured. Results: The angle between the mandibular first premolar axis and buccal cortex, the distance between the root apex and buccal cortex, angle of vestibularization, arc of vestibularization, and root apex maximum movable distance were significantly greater in the short face type than in the long and norm face types. The angle between the mandibular second premolar axis and buccal cortex, the distance from root apex to buccal cortex, and the arc of vestibularization were significantly greater in the short face type than in the normal face type. Conclusions: There are significant differences in the mandibular premolar positions in Class I subjects according to vertical facial type.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of preparation with GT files and profiles .04 in shaping of root canals and reconstruct the three-dimensional root canal system using micro computed tomography 40 canals of the extracted human mandibular molars were used, and randomly distributed into two experimental groups. In group 1. canals were prepared by GT files. In group 2, Profiles .04. were used. Apical preparation size was #30. For each tooth pre and post operative cross-sectional images were obtained by the micro CT at 50 micron intervals. Pre and post operative cross-sectional images of 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8mm from the apex were compared. For each section. canal area and centering ratio were determined. For each tooth pre- and post-operative root canal volume from the furcation to the apex of the roots was calculated by three-dimensional image software. Following results were obtained: 1. At 8mm from the apex, area of dentin removed by GT rotary file was significantly larger than that by Profile .04. And at the other levels there was not a significant difference. 2. There was a trend for GT rotary file to remain more centered in the canals than Profile .04 at all levels. But at 3mm level. there was a statistically significant difference. 3. In root canal volume increments after instrumentation, there was no significant difference between two groups.

Autotransplantation is the transplantation of embeded, impacted, or unerupted tooth, into extraction socket or surgically prepared socket in the same individual. Clinically, successful autotransplantation must show radiolucent space(periodontal ligament space) between transplanted tooth and supporting bone, lamina dura, no root resorption, no ankylosis, no inflammatory change, and physiologic tooth mobility. It is important that procedure is atraumatic, and the instruments should not contact the root surface during procedure. We performed autotransplantation of impacted mandibular canine that transversely located beneath the apices of the mandibular incisors with uncompletely developed apex. In radiographs and clinical evaluation, this transplant showed successful clinical finding except irregularity of mesial root surface after 14 months. It is conclued that transplantation of canine with $\frac{1}{2}{\sim}\frac{3}{4}$ root development provides a good chance of pulp survival, limited risk of root resorption and ensures sufficient final length, and is thus recommended.

In the infected immature tooth with periapical involvement, the pulp is considered to hardly exist in the canal and periapical area. Such a tooth receives apexification procedure, because revascularization of the pulp chamber is in principle not expected. Apexification is beneficial to induce further development of an apex to close the foramina, but does not promote the thickness of the entire canal wall dentin. It may be possible for the pulp to be only partially necrotic and infected when an extremely large communication from the pulp space to the periapical tissues exists with a very young tooth. If this were the case, vital pulp in the apical part of the canal could proliferate new pulp into the coronal pulp space by the successful removal and disinfection of the necrotic infected coronal pulp.(omitted)

영구 전치의 매복은 제 3 대구치나 견치에 비해서 드물게 나타나지만 학령기 아동에서 관찰할 수 있다. 매복치아의 원인은 외상, 공간 부족, 치아의 맹출 경로상에 위치하는 과잉치, 유치의 치근단 감염 등 다양하다. 매복된 치아는 부정교합과 인접치아의 치근 흡수, 낭종 등의 병적 변화를 유발할 수 있으므로 임상적 검사와 방사선학적 검사를 통해 정확한 위치를 확인하고, 적절한 치료계획을 통해 정상 맹출을 유도하여야 한다. 매복된 치아가 병적 변화를 일으킨 경우나 인접치에 손상을 주었을 경우에 발치를 시행하게 된다. 그러나 교정적 견인을 통해 기능과 심미성을 회복시켜 줄 수 있으므로 조기 발견과 발견시의 올바른 진단과 치료 계획을 수립하는 것이 중요하다. 교정적 견인시에는 매복치를 배열할 공간의 확보와 고정원에 대한 고려가 선행되어야 한다. 견인시 적절한 방향의 힘을 통해서 치근의 흡수 등의 부작용이 일어나지 않도록 해야 한다. 본 증례는 매복된 전치들을 forced eruption을 통해서 정상적인 맹출 방향으로 유도한 치험례이다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine the patient- and treatment-related etiologic factors of external root resorption. Materials and Methods : This study consisted of 163 patients who had completed orthodontic treatments and taken the pre- and post-treatment panoramic and lateral cephalometric radiographs. The length of tooth was measured from the tooth apex to the incisal edge or cusp tip on the panoramic radiograph. Overbite and overjet were measured from the pre- and post-treatment lateral cephalometric radiographs. The root resorption of each tooth and the factors of malocclusion were analyzed with an analysis of variance. A paired t test was performed to compare the mean amount of root resorption between male and female, between extraction and non-extraction cases, and between surgery and non-surgery groups. Correlation coefficients were measured to assess the relationship between the amount of root resorption and the age in which the orthodontic treatment started, the degree of changes in overbite and overjet, and the duration of treatment. Results : Maxillary central incisor was the most resorbed tooth, followed by the maxillary lateral incisor, the mandibular central incisor, and the mandibular lateral incisor. The history of tooth extraction was significantly associated with the root resorption. The duration of orthodontic treatment was positively correlated with the amount of root resorption. Conclusion : These findings show that orthodontic treatment should be carefully performed in patients who need the treatment for a long period and with a pre-treatment extraction of teeth.

The endodontically treated tooth is generally restored with post and core, owing to the brittleness and the loss of large amount of tooth structure. Although there have been lots of studies about the endodontically treated teeth, the three-dimensional quantitative studies about the stress distribution of them are in rare cases. In this study, it was assumed that the coronal portion of the upper incisor had extensively damaged. After the root canal therapy it was post cored, and restored with PFG crown. The three-dimensional model, in which the root was supported with a normal alveolar bone, was constructed. Force was applied to the centric stop point with the angle of 135 degrees to the long axis of the tooth. Force was assumed to be 250N as functional maximum bite force of upper central incisors. The results analyzed with three-dimensional finite element method were as follows : 1. Stress was concentrated on the middle portion of the labial side dentin and the apical portion of the dentin. 2. Stress in the post was more concentrated on the post apex. 3. The displacement of the post at the post-cement interface was almost symmetrical la-bio-lingually. 4. It assumed that restoring extensively damaged tooth with a post-core and PFG crown is an adequate method of restoration.

치외치는 치아의 교합면에 부가적인 교두나 돌기(tubercle)를 가진 치아의 형태 이상이다. 치외치는 1-4%의 유병율을 보이며 하악 소구치에서 발생 빈도가 높다 치외치의 돌기는 쉽게 마모되거나 파절되어 치수 노출, 치수 생활력 상실, 안면부 감염, 골수염 등을 일으킬 수 있다. 또한, 돌기가 파절될 때 치외치의 치근단이 미성숙 상태인 경우가 많아 근관 치료가 쉽지 않다. 미성숙 영구치의 근관치료 시 수산화칼슘이 널리 사용되어 왔으나 내원 빈도 단축을 위해 여러 대체 재료들이 제안되어 왔다. 그 중 하나인 Mineral Trioxide Aggregate는 우수한 생체적합성과 변연 폐쇄성을 특징으로 하며, 미성숙 영구치의 근관치료 시 치료 기간을 단축시킬 수 있다. 본 증례보고에서는 치외치로 인한 치수 괴사로 봉와직염이 발생한 환자를 Mineral Trioxide Aggregate로 치료하였다. 미성숙 치근단을 가진 하악 소구치에 Mineral Trioxide Aggregate를 이용한 치근단형성술(apexification)을 시행하여 임상적 및 방사선학적으로 양호한 결과를 얻었으며, 한 증례에서는 치근단유도술(apexogenesis)의 결과와 같이 계속적인 치근 성장이 관찰되었다.
