Dentinogenesis imperfecta is an inheritable disease of dentinal defect, generally is inherited as a single autosomal dominant trait. It has a prevalence of 1 in 8000 with the trait, and no significant difference between male and female, with involvement of the primary and permanent teeth. Shields proposed three types of Dentinogenesis imperfecta. Affected teeth have various discoloration, separation of enamel rapid destruction of underlying dentin, and severe attrition. Radiographically, the teeth have cervical constriction, bulbous crown, thin root, obliteration of the root canals and pulp chambers, and periapical lesions in a sound tooth. The objective of treatment is rehabilitation of the esthetics, the masticatory function, and the vertical dimension of occlusion. In these cases, two pediatric patients reported to the Kyungpook University Pediatric clinic, with a chief complaint of discolored teeth and severe attrition. As a result of clinical and radiographic exam, it was diagnosed as Dentinogenesis imperfecta. The posterior teeth were restored with Stainless Steel Crown, and the anterior teeth were restored with composite resin veneering.

본 논문은 에어컨용 압축기에 탑재되는 모터 중, 특히 회전자 내부에 자석을 위치시키는 매입형 영구자석 동기모터(IPMSM)에 관한 것이다. IPMSM은 마그네틱 토크에 더하여 릴럭턴스 토크를 이용하므로 보다 고효율의 영구자석 모터가 가능하여 세계 각국의 에너지 규제 강화와 관련하여 압축기의 고효율화에 부합한다고 할 수 있겠다. 한편 IPMSM의 고정자는 권선방식에 따라 고정자 치(齒, Teeth)에 직접 권선하는 집중권 방식과 다수의 슬롯을 구비하여 여러개의 슬롯에 걸쳐 권선하는 분포권 방식으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 집중권 방식 모터의 인덕턴스 파형을 정현적으로 분포하도록 하여 모터로부터 발생하는 압축기의 소음을 저감하는 것을 검증하였다.

In the treatment of functional orthodontic problems, timing is not an issue. All orthodontists start as soon as the condition is recognized. However, there is an active dialogue concerning treatment timing for structure problems. The major points in contention center around the operator's ability is to control the growth of the facial bones and to maintain post-treatment tooth position through the maturation period (especially when this position was gained by techniques involving arch expansion or distal driving of posterior segments). Factors taken into account to determine the best time of orthodontic treatment include diagnosis, interception, growth rate, patient cooperation, eruptive state and treatment period. With those exceptions of all functional problems, mild dental discrepancies and skeletal deficiencies with a predictably excellent growth potential (early treatment), the period immediately following the eruption of the permanent second molars is the period during which most orthodontic treatment should be initiated. At this time the full volume of tooth substances is present, the individual growth pattern in well established, there are sufficient teeth to receive nearly any type of appliances and the patient can easily tolerate the wearing of appliances.

Facial asymmetry is not an uncommon occurrence in day to day dental practice. It can be caused by various etiologic factors ranging from facial trauma to serious hereditary conditions. Here, we report a rare case of non-syndromic facial asymmetry in a young female, who was born with this condition but was not aware of the progression of asymmetry. No relevant family history was recognized. She was also deficient in both deciduous and permanent teeth in the corresponding region of maxilla. Hence, the cause of this asymmetry was believed to be a segmental odontomaxillary hypoplasia of left maxilla accompanied by agenesis of left maxillary premolars and molars and disuse atrophy of corresponding facial musculature. This report briefly discussed the comparative features of segmental odontomaxillary hypoplasia, hemimaxillofacial dysplasia, and segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia and justified the differences between segmental odontomaxillary hypoplasia and the other two conditions.

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)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of interceptive primary canine extraction in palatally and buccally displaced maxillary permanent canines, and to analyze the clinical and radiographic factors affecting the treatment outcome. 97 maxillary permanent canines from 86 patients whose maxillary permanent canine were in the mesio-occlusal directions and overlapped with the roots of the adjacent teeth were analyzed. In 64 of 97 (66.0%) maxillary permanent canines, the displaced crown was completely deviated from the adjacent lateral incisor root only by extraction of the primary canine. Not only the characteristics of maxillary permanent canines such as bucco-palatal displacement direction, horizontal and vertical position of the crown tip, and presence of apical closure, but also periapical rarefaction on the primary canine and peg-shaped adjacent lateral incisor significantly affected the treatment outcome.

Injuries of permanent teeth by trauma occur frequently in childhood and adolescence. Crown fractures are as frequent as 25-76% and especially maxillary incisors are prone to fractures. There have been numerous efforts to achieve both aesthetically and functionally satisfying restoration. When a mature tooth is fractured, porcelain crown or laminate veneer could be a choice of prosthodontic treatment. However, in a case of immature permanent incisor fracture, prosthodontic treatment is more complicated due to the immaturity of the tooth. Moreover, if endodontic treatment is accompanied with the prosthodontic treatment, the treatment period is prolonged. In the past, restoration using an orthodontic band, a ready-made crown, or glass ionomer cement did not exhibit esthetically satisfying result. As restorational materials have been improved, now more esthetic restoration is possible by reattaching fractured fragments or light-curing composite resin restoration. We reports cases of patients with fractured maxillary incisors and their successful treatment results through reattachment of fractured fragments and composite resin restoration.

Infraocclusion is defined as tooth whose relative occlusal movement was blocked during the period of active eruption due to ankylosis and so on. Then infraoccluded tooth remains under the occlusal plane composed by adjacent structures showing normal eruption patterns. Untreated infraocclusion may cause: prolonged retention of infraoccluded teeth; extrusion of apposed teeth; destruction of periodontal tissues by occlusal force and food packing; increased sensitivity for dental caries; and disturbances on eruption pathway of succedaneous teeth. Therefore, periodic check-ups and proper treatments are required. There are many treatment options on infraoccluded deciduous molars such as periodic observation, conservative method, restoration and space regaining with extraction of the teeth. The choice of treatment may depend on the presence of succedaneous teeth, time of diagnosis and degree of infraocclusion. In this case report, three patients showing displacement of the second premolars due to infraocclusion of upper second primary molars, were treated by means of space regaining with removable orthodontic appliances and extraction of ankylosed primary molars. All malpositioned permanent premolars in the 3 cases showed ordinary eruption pathways after treatment.

A 7-year-old male was refered to Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Wonkwang Dental Hospital for treatment of a traumatic injury to the teeth of the maxillary anterior region of the mouth. His right central incisor presented subluxation and root fracture, the left central incisor had suffered intrusive luxation and root fracture. The initial treatment involved reposition and fixation of the teeth with 0.5mm stainless steel wire and composite resin. The patient was submitted for clinical and radiographic fallow-up. After 4 years, radiographically the right central incisor seemed to be healed by hard tissue union and showed to be indistinct fracture line, intact lamina dura. The left central incisor radiographically was healed by interposition of bone and connective tissue and showed to be distinct horizontal fracture line separating the fragments, and pulp canal obliteration. In clinical examination, the teeth showed a normal response to elective pulp test, percussion and mobility test. Pulp survival after injuries appears to be dependent upon the type of luxation injury, age of patient, stage of root development and degree of dislocation. In this case, the two teeth with incomplete root formation were suffered different type of injury by trauma and has showed different healing aspect.

One of the many dilemmas that the clinical restorative dentist must face is treating young adolescent patient who prematurely loses his permanent teeth. Temporary prosthetic replacement can be achieved with removable denture, orthodontic band-wire fixed denture, adhesion bridge, composite resin splint with reinforcing material until the patients go through growth and development. But, all of these have limitations. Advances in restorative materials and reinforcement materials have made possible new techniques which are as much esthetic, conservative and more economic and stronger than adhesion brides. Two cases are being presented where gas-plasma treated, woven polyethylene fabric to reinforce composite resin was used to fabricate a temporary prosthetic restoration to replace a missing maxillary central incisor. This relatively noninvasive and basically reversible procedure allows the patient to decide the final restoration as he or she goes thorough maturation of the hard and soft tissues.
