Purpose : This study attempted to relate the incidence of fractures at the mandibular angle with the presence and state of eruption of lower third molars, and to find out the real risk factors for angle fractures in the states of lower third molars. Materials and Methods : Medical records and radiographs of 395 patients with mandibular fractures were retrospectively reviewed. The presence and states of third molars were assessed for each patients and related to the occurrence of angle and other mandibular fractures. Results : Of 395 patients with mandibular fractures, 142 had angle fractures. The incidence of angle fractures was found to be significantly greater when partial erupted lower third molars were present and it had a definite role for risk factors for angle fractures. But there were no clear relationship between the incidence of angle fracrtures and states of without, fully erupted lower third molars. Furthermore, the states of patial and unerupted lower third molar had an effect on bony segment displacement. Conclusions : This study provides clinical evidence to suggest that patial erupted third molar teeth weaken the mandibular angle both quantitatively and qualitatively.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the diagnosis of vertical root fractures in a tooth with gutta-percha and prefabricated posts. Materials and Methods: This study selected 96 extracted molar and premolar teeth of the mandible. These teeth were divided into six groups as follows: Groups A, B, and C consisted of teeth with vertical root fractures, and groups D, E, and F had teeth without vertical root fractures; groups A and D had teeth with gutta-percha and prefabricated posts; groups B and E had teeth with gutta-percha but without prefabricated posts, and groups C and F had teeth without gutta-percha or prefabricated posts. Then, the CBCT scans were obtained and examined by three oral and maxillofacial radiologists in order to determine the presence of vertical root fractures. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 20.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results: The kappa coefficient was $0.875{\pm}0.049$. Groups A and D showed a sensitivity of 81% and a specificity of 100%; groups E and B, a sensitivity of 94% and a specificity of 100%; and groups C and F, a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 100%. Conclusion: The CBCT scans revealed a high accuracy in the diagnosis of vertical root fractures; the accuracy did not decrease in the presence of gutta-percha. The presence of prefabricated posts also had little effect on the accuracy of the system, which was, of course, not statistically significant.

The more civilized, the more incidence had happened in our daily life, particularly in industrial factories, by traffic accident, and in sports, etc. in the dental field. The accidental trauma is usually involved the teeth and surronuding tissues. And the author intended to study of the traumatic injuries of anterior teeth by individual tooth, age, sex, cause of trauma, and how they were treated. The following results were obtained: 1. The patients with traumatic injuries of the anterior teeth were 1.8% among the total dental out-patients. 2. By the age group, the twenties was most frequent in both sexes, and the teenagers next. 3. The predominant causes of traumatic injuries in the dental field were traffic accident (23.4%), fighting (19.2%), falling (18.5%), and sports (7.3%). 4. In the classification of injuries of the teeth, uncomplicated crown fractures (31.2%), subluxations (14.7%), and the complicated crown fractures (13.2%) were presented. 5. By the individual tooth in the traumatic cases, the upper cental incisors were most frequently injuried (49.8%). 6. In the treatments fillings and endodontic treatments (33.2%), splints (13.5%), extractions (11.7%) were main after care method.

Among dental traumas, horizontal root fractures are relatively uncommon injuries. Proper initial management and periodical evaluation is essential for the successful treatment of a root-fractured tooth. If pulpal necrosis develops, endodontic treatment is indicated, exclusively for the coronal fragment. Fragment diastases exert a great influence on healing at the fracture line and on pulpal necrosis. An adequately treated root-fractured tooth has a good prognosis. This case report describes the treatment and 2-yr follow up of 3 maxillary central incisors, first with horizontal root fracture, second with horizontal root fracture and avulsion, and third with horizontal root fracture and lateral luxation. All three cases were treated with mineral trioxide aggregate (ProRoot, Dentsply). During 2 yr of follow-up evaluation, the root-fractured teeth of the present patients were well retained in the arch, showing periodontal healing, even after endodontic treatment.

치관 파절은 영구치, 특히 치열에서 가장 노출된 위치에 존재하는 상악 전치에 가장 많이 발생하는 외상성 손상이다. 파절편 조각이 존재하고 상태가 양호한 경우 치관 파절을 치료하는 방법 중 하나는 원래 위치에 다시 파절편을 재부착하는 것이다. 이번 연구에서는 상악 전치에 발생한 치관 파절 증례를 파절편 재부착 술식으로 치료하였으며 심미적, 기능적으로 만족할만한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Maxillary anterior crown fractures are a common form of injury that mainly affects children and adolescents. The position of maxillary incisors and their eruptive pattern carries a significant risk for trauma. In the pre-adhesive era, fractured teeth needed to be restored either with pin-retained inlays or cast restorations that sacrificed healthy tooth structure and were a challenge for dentists to match with adjacent teeth. But. recently the development of adhesive dentistry has allowed dentists to use the patient's own fragment to restore the fractured tooth. The purpose of this paper is to present 2 cases of reattachment of fractured teeth which had different fracture mode, and to evaluate prognosis of cases.

Objectives: We retrospectively evaluated the impact of mandibular third molars on the occurrence of angle and condyle fractures. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective investigation using patient records and radiographs. The sample set consisted of 440 patients with mandibular fractures. Eruption space, depth and angulation of the third molar were measured. Results: Of the 144 angle fracture patients, 130 patients had third molars and 14 patients did not. The ratio of angle fractures when a third molar was present (1.26 : 1) was greater than when no third molar was present (0.19 : 1; odds ratio, 6.58; P<0.001). Of the 141 condyle fractures patients, the third molar was present in 84 patients and absent in 57 patients. The ratio of condyle fractures when a third molar was present (0.56 : 1) was lower than when no third molar was present (1.90 : 1; odds ratio, 0.30; P<0.001). Conclusion: The increased ratio of angle fractures with third molars and the ratio of condyle fractures without a third molar were statistically significant. The occurrence of angle and condyle fractures was more affected by the continuity of the cortical bone at the angle than by the depth of a third molar. These results demonstrate that a third molar can be a determining factor in angle and condyle fractures.

치아의 치관-치근 파절은 치아파절이 치관과 치근에 걸쳐 발생되어 법랑질, 상아질 및 백악질까지 이환된 경우로 정의되며, 치수이환여부에 따라 복잡파절과 비복잡파절로 분류될 수 있다. 치관-치근 파절의 빈도는 유치열에서 2%, 영구치열에서 5%로 나타나며, 보통 상악 전치부에 호발한다. 이러한 치관-치근 파절된 치아의 수복을 위해서는 생물학적 폭경이 유지되어야 한다. 이를 위하여 사용되는 방법은 골삭제 후 치은절제술, 교정적 견인, 외과적 정출 후 수복하는 방법과, 인위적으로 발치하여 근관치료와 수복 후 재식하는 방법 등이 있다. 이중 외과적 정출술은 치아를 발거하여 파절부를 치은 연상으로 이동시켜 재식하는 방법으로서, 이는 치관부 파절편이 임상치근의 1/2 미만인 경우에 적응증이 될 수 있으며, 발견하지 못한 다른 파절편을 직접 시진할 수 있고 때로는 파절선을 순측에 위치시켜 치료시 시야확보 및 접근이 용이하다는 등의 장점이 있다. 본 증례에서는 외상으로 치관-치근 파절된 미완성 치근단의 상악 중절치를 가진 환아에서 외과적 정출술 후 근관치료와 광중합복합레진을 이용한 치관수복을 시행하였으며, 정기적 검진시 양호한 결과가 관찰됨을 확인할 수 있었다.
