미맹출된 상악 중절치는 비교적 흔히 임상에서 8세이상의 아동에서 관찰될 수 있다. 맹출실패의 원인으로는 치배의 비정상적인 발육이 언급되는데 아직 명백히 밝혀지지는 않았지만, 이는 외상이나 선행유치의 치근단 감염으로 유발될 수 있다. 본 증례는 외상의 병력이 없어 유치의 치근단 감염에 의한 상악 중절치의 매복을 고려해 볼 수 있다. 치아의 맹출과 Hertwig's epithelial root sheath 에 의한 지속적인 치근 발육을 유도하기 위해서는 외과적 노출과 가철성 장치를 이용한 교정적 견인이 치료방법으로 시행될수 있다. 본 증례는 역위 매복으로 인해 치근의 만곡이 예상되며 치근의 발육이 지연된 치아를 치근형성 전 조기에 가철성 장치를 이용한 교정적 견인에 의해 정상적인 맹출과 인접치와 유사한 치근 발육이 얻어졌다. 하지만 향후 완전한 치근 형성 유무에 대한 주기적인 검진과 부착치은 획득을 위한 치주적인 처치가 필요하리라 사료된다.

복잡 치아종은 치아와 해부학적인 유사성이 없는 법랑질, 상아질, 백악질의 덩어리로 구성되어 있다. 이 병소의 대부분은 증상이 없어 일상적인 방사선 검사나 치아의 맹출 실패의 원인을 감별하기 위한 검사를 통해 발견된다. 복합 치아종은 골 팽창을 보이는 경우가 드물지만, 복잡 치아종은 경미하거나 뚜렷한 골 팽창을 보인다. 복잡 치아종은 거의 영구치와 연관되어 있고 유치와 연관된 경우는 매우 드물다. 이는 보통 하악의 유구치 부위에 발생한다. 본 증례는 상악 유견치의 매복과 연관된 복잡 치아종을 외과적 방법으로 제거하고 자가맹출을 용이하게 하기 위해 치은 하방에 재위치 시켰다. 수술 6개월 후에 상악 유견치가 자가 맹출되었으므로 이를 보고한다.

Objectives: Dry socket may occur secondary to the removal of any tooth. However, most dry socket cases develop in the third molar region. Dry socket is multifactorial in nature and has been treated using various modalities with varying success rates. This study assessed the efficacy of platelet rich fibrin (PRF) in established dry socket. Materials and Methods: Ten patients of either sex aged from 41 to 64 years with established dry socket according to established criteria were treated using PRF. Evaluation was performed by observing the reduction of pain using visual analogue scale, analgesic tablet use over the follow-up period, and healing parameters. Results: Pain was reduced on the first day in all patients with decreased analgesic use. Pain was drastically reduced during follow-up on the first, second, third, and seventh days with a fall in pain score of 0 to 1 after the first day alone. The pain scores of all patients decreased to 1 by the first day except in one patient, and the scores decreased to 0 in all patients after 48 hours. Total analgesic intake ranged from 2 to 6 tablets (aceclofenac 100 mg per tablet) over the follow-up period of 7 days. Healing was satisfactory in all patients by the end of the seventh day. Conclusion: PRF showed early pain reduction in established dry socket with minimal analgesic intake. No patients had allergic reactions to PRF as it is derived from the patient's own blood. PRF showed good wound healing. Our study suggests that PRF should be considered as a treatment modality for established dry socket.

Objectives: A mesiodens appears most commonly as a supernumerary tooth impacted in the anterior maxilla. The purpose of this study is analyze mesiodens clinically. Materials and Methods: Gender, crown form, direction of impaction, relation to permanent incisors, and chief complaints of patients with extracted mesiodens were analyzed. Results: Patients were analyzed for motivation to visit the hospital; 85.4% of the patients were referred from other hospitals. Mesiodens was more common in males than in females (3.7:1), and 70.1% of patients had only one mesiodens, while 29.6% had two mesiodenses. Of the mesiodenses, 61.4% were of the aconical form, and the most common direction was upward (62.4%), followed by the normal position (26.0%) and the horizontal position (11.6%). The mesiodenses caused orthodontic problems with the permanent incisors in 46.3% of cases. Mesiodens associated with dentigerous cyst was rarely observed in our patient group. Conclusion: Mesiodens is more common in males than in females and often affects the permanent incisors. Thus, careful clinical and radiological evaluations of mesiodenses are important.

Purpose : This study was performed to analyze the position, pattern of impacted mesiodens, and their relationship to the adjacent teeth using Dental cone-beam CT. Materials and Methods : Sixty-two dental cone-beam CT images with 81 impacted mesiodenses were selected from about 2,298 cone-beam CT images at Chonnam National University Dental Hospital from June 2006 to March 2009. The position, pattern, shape of impacted mesiodenses and their complications were analyzed in cone-beam CT including 3D images. Results : The sex ratio (M : F) was 2.9 : 1. Most of the mesiodenses (87.7%) were located at palatal side to the incisors. 79% of the mesiodenses were conical in shape. 60.5% of the mesiodenses were inverted, 21% normal erupting direction, and 18.5% transverse direction. The complications due to the presence of mesiodenses were none in 43.5%, diastema in 19.4%, tooth displacement in 17.7%, delayed eruption or impaction in 12.9%, tooth rotation in 4.8%, and dentigerous cyst in 1.7%. Conclusions : Dental cone-beam CT images with 3D provided 3-dimensional perception of mesiodens to the neighboring teeth. This results would be helpful for management of the impacted mesiodens.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of the existing classification and difficulty index of impacted mandibular third molars in clinical situations and propose a more practical classification system. Materials and Methods: This study included 204 impacted mandibular third molars in 154 patients; panoramic x-ray images were obtained before tooth extraction. Factors including age, sex, and pattern of impaction were investigated. All impacted third molars were classified and scored for spatial relationship (1-5 points), depth (1-4 points), and ramus relationship (1-3 points). All variables were measured twice by the same observer at a minimum interval of one month. Finally, the difficulty index was defined based on the total points scored as slightly difficult (3-4 points), moderately difficult (5-7 points), very difficult (8-10 points), and extremely difficult (11-12 points). Results: The strength of agreement of the total points scored and difficulty index were 0.855 and 0.746, respectively. Most cases were classified as moderately difficult (73.0%). Although only 13 out of 204 cases (6.4%) were classified as extremely difficult, patients classified as extremely difficult were the oldest (P<0.05). Conclusion: For difficulty classification, the authors propose one more difficult category beyond the existing three-step difficulty index: the clinician should consider the patient's age in the difficulty index evaluation.

Eruption of the teeth can be disturbed by crowding, ectopic eruption path, retention for pathologic condition of follicle and periodontal ligament, local disturbances in the innervation, and delayed eruption for overlying obstacles in the eruption path. Eruption disturbance of permanent posterior teeth is taken with diverse therapeutic approaches according to the patient age, cooperation of patient, tooth position and maturity, degree of impaction, clinical features, and repercussion on the neighboring teeth. However, delayed treatment usually results in less favorable outcomes. Therefore, In order to prevent this situation, periodically radiographic examinations during the early mixed dentition period and early diagnosis of eruption disturbances of permanent posterior teeth are recommended.

Ectopic eruption of the permanent first molar is defined as the eruption of the tooth in an abnormal position or orientation. It may causes distal root resorption and premature exfoliation of the adjacent primary second molar and uncontrolled space loss is followed. Prolonged partial impaction of the permanent molar may also cause undetected caries or abscess formation of the neighbor teeth. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief review regarding the etiology, classification, and different management techniques for correcting ectopic eruption of permanent first molar.
