치아미백은 100여년전 이상부터 시행되어 왔으나, 지난 4반세기 동안의 생활치아 미백술의 표준적인 방법은 과산화수소와 열원을 사용하거나, 열원과 광원을 복합해서 사용하는 것이었다. 이 술식의 단점은 술식의 복잡성, 많은 비용, 결과의 불확실성과 환자의 불편이었다. 1989년 3월에 치과계에서는 Haywood와 Heyman에 의해 발표된 새로운 생활치아 미백술(Night Guard Vital Bleaching)을 도입했다. 치아구조에 대한 carbamide peroxide의 화학적 효과를 알고 있었으면 수년 전에 개발되었을 아주 간단한 치료술식이다. 이 방법은 시술이 쉽고, 사용 되는 재료의 높은 안전성, 낮은 치료비, 높은 성공률로 최근 다시 치아미백 붐을 일으키는데 일조를 하고 있으며, 생활치아 미백술의 표준적인 방법으로 신속히 자리잡아가고 있다.

The purpose of this study was to search non-invasive and reproductive pulp test. Temperature of the crown surface was measured using the infrared thermography, and the pulp test was investigated with difference of crown temperature of the vital and the non-vital tooth in vitro and in vivo. Twenty extracted human maxillary central incisors were used in this study. Two sample teeth after access cavity preparation were arranged setting with one pair. Then, the each tooth wes estimated as the vital and the non-vital tooth.(중략)

Pressure root resorption can be observed during the eruption of permanent dentition, especially of the maxillary canines (affecting lateral incisors) and mandibular third molars (affecting mandibular second molars). Since the cause of root resorption of the adjacent affected teeth is evident, treatment simply involves extraction of the impacted tooth. However, there have been few reports on the prognosis of the remaining resorbed tooth, as dentists often choose to extract them when damage due to root resorption is observed. We report a case involving a tooth that was severely resorbed due to pressure from an adjacent impacted tooth. After extraction of the impacted tooth, the remaining tooth retained vital pulp and survived as a functional tooth.

The requirements for the successful treatment of all-ceramic restorations are not so different from the ones of conventional restorations. "The provisional restoration followed by an adequate tooth reduction and the accurately fitting prostheses with corresponding to final impression" can be the examples of them. Nevertheless, the one which all-ceramic restorations are distinguished from conventional restorations is the additional procedure of so called "bonding". In addition to the application of resin cement between "inner surface of restoration and outer surface of abutment", bonding technology can be also applied to the treatment process of "Post and Core" in particular if the abutments are non-vital teeth. Core build-up for all-ceramic crown is conducted with fiber post and tooth colored composite by considering the properties of the restorations transmitting light. We know well that a vital abutment is easier than a non-vital one to get the targeted goals for clinical success in connection with esthetics and structure. The creation of "Post and Core" with bonding technique is a decisive factor for a long-term success if the abutment is non-vital tooth with dentinal collapse. I would like to share my clinical experience about "post & core build-up and all-ceramic restoration bonding" out of several success strategies of all-ceramic crown with this presentation.

When a tooth shows discoloration and does not respond to the cold test or electric pulp test (EPT) after a traumatic injury, its diagnosis can be even more difficult due to the lack of proper diagnostic methods to evaluate its vitality. In these case reports, we hope to demonstrate that ultrasound Doppler might be successfully used to evaluate the vitality of the tooth after trauma, and help reduce unnecessary endodontic treatments. In all three of the present cases, the teeth were discolored after traumatic injuries and showed negative responses to the cold test and EPT. However, they showed distinctive vital reactions in the ultrasound Doppler test during the whole observation period. In the first case, the tooth color returned to normal, and the tooth showed a positive response to the cold test and EPT at 10 wk after the injury. In the second case, the tooth color had returned to its normal shade at 10 wk after the traumatic injury but remained insensitive to the cold test and EPT. In the third case, the discoloration was successfully treated with vital tooth bleaching.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to define a color space of non-vital teeth and to compare it with the color space of matched vital teeth, recorded in the same patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS. In a group of 218 patients, with the age range from 17 to 70, the middle third of the buccal surface of 359 devitalized teeth was measured using a clinical spectrophotometer (Vita Easyshade Advance). Lightness ($L^*$), chromatic parameters ($a^*$, $b^*$), chroma ($C^*$), hue angle (h) and the closest Vita shade in Classical and 3D Master codifications were recorded. For each patient, the same data were recorded in a vital reference tooth. The measurements were performed by the same operator with the same spectrophotometer, using a standardized protocol for color evaluation. RESULTS. The color coordinates of non-vital teeth varied as follows: lightness $L^*$: 52.83-92.93, $C^*$: 8.23-58.90, h: 51.20-101.53, $a^*$: -2.53-24.80, $b^*$: 8.10-53.43. For the reference vital teeth, the ranges of color parameters were: $L^*$: 60.90-97.16, $C^*$: 8.43-39.23, h: 75.30-101.13, $a^*$: -2.36-9.60, $b^*$: 8.36-39.23. The color differences between vital and non-vital teeth depended on tooth group, but not on patient age. CONCLUSION. Non-vital teeth had a wider color space than vital ones. Non-vital teeth were darker (decreased lightness), more saturated (increased chroma), and with an increased range of the hue interval. An increased tendency towards positive values on the $a^*$ and $b^*$ axes suggested redder and yellower non-vital teeth compared to vital ones.

Sixty non-vital primary molars of forty six children who were patients at the Pedodontic Department of Seoul University Hospital, aged from 2 years 7 months to 9 years 1 month were performed for coronal pulp therapy. For the evaluation of non-vital pulp therapy, the author observed those teeth both clinically and roentgenographically. The results were as follows: 1. Coronal therapy of non-vital tooth can be accepted as one of the ordinary methods at the view of the save of tooth, time and simplicity. 2. The results were satisfactory 78.3% clinically and 68.3% roentgenographically. 3. The dissatisfactory signs were a) Clinical view There were dissatisfactory signs on 13 cases. (1) 2 teeth had fistulous opening. (2) 11 teeth reacted to purcussion and mobility. b) Roentgenographical view There were dissatisfactory signs on 19 cases. (1) 13 teeth showed roentgenolucency at bifurcation area. (2) 2 teeth showed pathological root resorption. (3) 4 teeth showed periodontal thickening.

성공적싱 완전도재관 치료를 위한 요구조건은 통상적 치료와 크게 다르지 않다. 적절한 치아삭제, 임시치아, 및 정확한 최종인상이 중요하다. 그럼에도 불구하고 차별점은 본딩에 있다. 수복물 내면과 지대치 외면에 레진시멘트를 도포하는 것 이외에도 본딩 술식은 비생활치의 포스트 코어 치료에도 적용할 수 있다. 생활치 지대치는 비생활치보다 심미와 기능 면에서 성공을 거두기가 더 쉽다. 포스트 코어 본딩 술식은 비생활치 지대치의 장기 성공에 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서 완전 도재관의 성공 전략 중에서 포스트 코어 축성 및 완전 도재관 본딩에 관하여 임상적 경험을 나누고자 한다.

기계적 또는 세균 부산물에 의한 만성자극이 치아에 지속적으로 가해질 경우 치근단 부위로 치수 신경 섬유의 sprouting이 증가하고 neuropeptide, cytokine의 분비가 촉진되어 파골세포의 활성도가 증가하게 된다. 이로 인해 생활치에서 치근단 병소가 발생가능하며, 이러한 기전을 이해하고 자극원을 제거해주는 보존적 치료만으로도 자연치유를 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

치아에 외상을 받은 경우 치수 생활력의 상실은 흔한 일이다. 치수 생활력을 검사하는 방법으로는 임상적, 방사선학적으로 여러 가지가 있지만, 미성숙 외상치의 경우 일시적 현상과 가성 반응이 나타날 수 있으므로 치수 괴사에 대한 정확한 진단은 매우 어렵다. 생활력을 상실한 치아는 염증성 치근흡수, 치근단 낭종 등의 발생을 방지하기 위하여 치수 치료를 시행한다. 그러나 미성숙 영구치의 경우, 치수 치료를 시행 후 치근 성장이 정지될 수 있어 결과적으로 얇고 짧은 치근이 형성되어 장기적인 예후는 좋지 않다. 본 임상 증례에서는 외상으로 인하여 실활된 초기 영구치에서 치근단부의 최소한의 침습적 치근단 형성술로 계속된 치근 형성을 보여 이에 보고하는 바이다.
