Alveolar bone resorption are unpredictable and always occur after tooth extraction. Such bone resorption causes insufficient alveolar ridge which make implant placement difficult. There are many techniques to increase the alveolar ridge. Representative procedures include ridge split, guided bone regeneration, bone graft using autogenous block bone, and alveolar distraction. In each procedure, there are indications and complications. Depending on the shape and the width of bone defects, we can choose procedures for horizontal bone augmentation and vertical bone augmentation.

Vascular changes in the periodontal ligament of the rat incisors following application of experimental orthodontic forces were examined by the India ink perfusion method. 57 rats were used for this experiment. The rats were divided into experimental group (54 rats) and control group (3 rats). 54 experimental rats were divided into group I (27 rats) and group II (27 rats). The right and left upper incisors of group. I and group II rats were separated distally with forces of 20gm, 70gm respectively. The vascular changes of periodontal ligament were observed histologically by means of light microscope after 1, 2 and 3 days of tooth movement and 1,3,5,8,14, and 21 days after removal of orthodontic force. The results were as follows; 1. After one day of tooth movement, occlusion of blood vessels, hyalinization of periodontal ligament and resorption of alveolar bone adjacent to the alveolar crest on pressure side were observed. Above the tissue changes on the pressure side of group II were more severe than those of group I. Especially, septal bone of group II was separated after 2 days of tooth movement. 2. In tension zones, periodontal space was widened and periodontal fibers were orientated in the direction of puil. The blood vessels of periodontal ligament were distended. New bone deposition was seen along the inner surface of the alveolus after 2 days of tooth movement. 3. After 3 days of tooth movement, deposition of new bone was seen along the periosteal surface of alveolar bone on pressure side, progressing with increasing after removal of orthodontic force. Remodelling of the new bone was occurred 5 days after removal of orthodontic force. 4. 3 days after removal of orthodontic force, invasion of blood vessels into the marginal periodontal ligament on pressure side was observed clearly and the vessels below the epithelial attachment were increased. 5. After removal of orthodontic force, hyalinized structures disappeared concomittantly with an invasion of blood vessels from the neighboring periodontal ligament. 14 days after removal of orthodontic force, the vessels in the periodontal ligament of group I were finished the vascular rearrangement. 21 days after removal of orthodontic force, the vessels in the periodontal ligament of group II were finished the vascular rearrangement.

Tooth anklylosis is defined as the adhesion state of alveolar bone to dentin or cementum. Trauma, disturbed metabolic disease, and congenital disease have been given as etiologic factors. Complications of tooth ankylosis are tipping of the neighboring teeth, space loss, and supraeruption of the opposing teeth. Particularly if dental ankylosis occurs in maxillary incisors of a growing child, the ankylosed tooth can not move vertically with subsequent disturbance in vertical growth of the alveolar process. With an appropriate treatment approach, an esthetic condition must be achieved especially in the maxillary anterior region. In this report, two cases are presented which were treated by the surgical repositioning method. One is treated by alveolar bone distraction osteogenesis which used a tooth-borne type distraction device and the other by single tooth osteotomy.

We decided among extraction, orthodontic traction and autotransplantation such as direction and position of unerupted tooth, degree of developing root apex, eruption space, being of supernumerary tooth or odontoma or cyst when tooth impacted. Autotransplantation is considered when orthodontic traction is unrealistic or when tooth movement can absorb root of neighbor tooth. The prognosis for successful autotransplantation is dependent on a number of factors such as root development, surgical technique, patient's age, endodontic treatment, time and type of splinting, preservation of periodontal ligament and storage medium. Especially when severe osseous defect is being, bone graft considered for reducing of mobility and for assisting recovery. In all cases, chief complaint is unerupted tooth and various causing factors were supernumerary, odontoma, ectopia and so on. Before autotransplantation, space regaining was done if needed and demineralized freezed dried bone and autogenous bone graft was done when there is severe osseous defect by extraction of supernumerary tooth or odontoma. Splinting was removed after 2-3weeks At 3-4weeks after autotransplantation, endodontic treatment was decided. At follow up check, normal recovery was done and there was no inflammatory or replacement root resorption in periapical radiograph.

Tooth impaction make various problems which are pathologic changes, functional defect and esthetic troubles. Sometimes impacted tooth are extracted. But surgical exposure of impacted tooth and orthodontic forced eruption are usually used a lot to solve these problems. Impacted tooth for orthodontic treatment has two impacted patterns 1) Simple impaction outside alveolar bone covered soft tissue, 2) Fully impaction under alveloar bone. So I introduce way to exposure of impacted tooth for orthodontic treatment with various cases and literatures.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the anatomical dimensions of the buccal bone walls of the aesthetic maxillary region for immediate implant placement, based upon cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans in a sample of adult patients. Methods: Two calibrated examiners analyzed a sample of 50 CBCT scans, performing morphometric analyses of both incisors and canines on the left and right sides. Subsequently, in the sagittal view, a line was traced through the major axis of the selected tooth. Then, a second line (E) was traced from the buccal to the palatal wall at the level of the observed bone ridges. The heights of the buccal and palatal bone ridges were determined at the major axis of the tooth. The buccal bone thickness was measured across five lines. The first was at the level of line E. The second was at the most apical point of the tooth, and the other three lines were equidistant between the apical and the cervical lines, and parallel to them. Statistical analysis was performed with a significance level of $P{\leq}0.05$ for the bone thickness means and standard deviations per tooth and patient for the five lines at varying depths. Results: The means of the buccal wall thicknesses in the central incisors, lateral incisors and canines were $1.14{\pm}0.65mm$, $0.95{\pm}0.67mm$ and $1.15{\pm}0.68mm$, respectively. Additionally, only on the left side were significant differences in some measurements of buccal bone thickness observed according to age and gender. However, age and gender did not show significant differences in heights between the palatal and buccal plates. In a few cases, the buccal wall had a greater height than the palatal wall. Conclusions: Less than 10% of sites showed more than a 2-mm thickness of the buccal bone wall, with the exception of the central incisor region, wherein 14.4% of cases were ${\geq}2mm$.

The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of osteoporosis on extraction wound healing in the calcium deficient rat. In order to carry out this study, ten-week old Wistar strain rats weighing about 300 gms were selected. When the rats reached thirteen-week old, rats' mandibular first molars were removed. The rats were then divided into three groups: Group l(rats given a normal diet both before and after tooth extraction), Group 2(rats given a low calcium diet for three weeks before tooth extraction and a normal diet after tooth extraction), and Group 3(rats given a low calcium diet for three weeks before and after tooth extraction). The healing of extraction wounds, as assessed by microradiography, autoradiography, and histopathologic examination, were compared among these three groups. The obtained results were as follows : I. In Group 1, newly formed bone and active uptake of 45Ca around extraction wound were noted on the 3rd and the 7th day. On the 14th and the 21st day, the extraction wounds of this group showed the bone trabecular formation and active 4Ca uptake in the extraction wound and alveolar crest. The more prominent bone trabeculae with a less uptake of /sup 45/Ca were noted on the 42nd day. 2. In Group 2, newly formed bone and thinning of alveolar bone trabeculae with more extensive uptake of /sup 45/Ca than that in Group 1 were noted on the 3rd and the 7th day. On the 14th day, bone trabeculae were less thicker than that in Group 1. The prominent bone trabeculae in the extraction wounds and alveolar crest were noted on the 21st and the 42nd days. 3. In Group 3, newly formed bone was noted on the 3rd and the 7th day. Alveolar bone trabeculae and uptake of /sup 45/Ca were similar to that in Group 2. On the 14th and 21st day, bone trabeculae were less thicker than that in Group 2 and Group 3. The osteoporotic change with active uptake of /sup 45/Ca was markedly noted on the 42nd day.

In adult patients, the corrections of their malocclusion may be more difficult and require longer treatment time due to thicker layer of cortical bone and reduced blood supply. Recently, various methods such as surgery, implant for anchorage and corticotomy have been tried to overcome these problems. Corticotomy is a surgical technique in which a fissure is made through the cortical bone that surrounds a tooth so that the tooth is embedded within a block of bone that is connected to adjacent blocks through only the medullary bone. Technique of corticotomy has been widely used for correction of maxillary transverse deficiency, but hasn't actively in other fields of orthodontics. We applied corticotomies in many types of orthodontic treatment and had satisfactory results. We suggested clinical application of corticotomy in adult orthodontics to reduce treatment period and to achieve better stability after orthodontic treatment.

The osteoporosis is a disease that represents a reduction in the volume of bony tissue relative to whole bone volume. And mandible also may be affected. Such porotic mandible may influence the result of the surgery like dental implant surgery relating mandible. So, the author examed the panoramic view of 89 persons for finding the possibility of useful diagnostic parameters of osteoporosis. To know the correlationship between the condition of vertebra and mandible, bone marrow density of lumbar spine from 2nd to 4th, and the number of residual tooth, panoramic mandibular index (PMI), angular cortical bone thickness (ACT) and ramus cortical bone thickness (RCT) were compared. The result is that PMI and ACT have similar relative weak linear correlationship, RCT have very weak linear correlationship, the number of residual tooth have not linear correlationship.
