Objectives: This study aimed to examine the actual use of interdental care products (ICPs), such as dental floss (DF) and interdental brushes (IDB), among Korean youth, confirm their relevance to periodontal health, and determine the factors that influence the use of each product. Methods: This study included 15,912 young adults aged 19-39 years and data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) (2007-2018). The usage rate of ICPs according to the characteristics of the subjects for each cycle of KNHANES was presented. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors affecting the use of ICP. Results: The use rates of DF and IDB gradually increased until the 7th period, reaching 34.8% and 26.8%, respectively. The rate of using more than one ICP also showed a tendency to gradually increase from 25.2% in the 4th period to 50.0% in the 7th period. The use of interdental care products is related to gingivitis and periodontitis. Factors related to the use of ICP were gender, age, education level, frequency of brushing, and dental examination experience. Conclusions: The use of dental floss or interdental toothbrushes was related to periodontal health, but only half of the adults aged 19-39 years used ICP. Therefore, oral health experts should actively encourage the use of DF and IDB in young adults.

Purpose: Peri-implant mucositis (PIM) and peri-implantitis (PI) are multicausal conditions with several risk factors contributing to their pathogenesis. In this study, we retrospectively investigated risk variables potentially associated with these peri-implant diseases (PIDs) over a follow-up period of 1 to 18 years. Methods: The study sample consisted of 379 implants placed in 155 patients. Single-visit clinical and radiographic evaluations were employed to determine the presence or absence of PIDs. Parameters related to the patient, site, surgery, implant, and prosthetic restoration were documented. The relationships between risk variables and the occurrence of PIDs were individually examined and adjusted for confounders using multivariate binary logistic regression models. Results: The prevalence rates of PIM and PI were 28.4% and 36.8% at the patient level and 33.5% and 24.5% at the implant level, respectively. Poor oral hygiene, active gingivitis/periodontitis, preoperative alveolar ridge deficiency, early or delayed implant placement, implant length of 11.0 mm or less, and poor restoration quality were strong and independent risk indicators for both PIDs. Furthermore, a follow-up period of more than 5 years and a loading time of more than 4 years were important indicators for PI. Simultaneously, age and smoking status acted as modifiers of the effect of mesiodistal (MD) and buccolingual (BL) widths of restoration on PI. Conclusions: In this study population, oral hygiene, periodontal status, preoperative alveolar ridge status, implant placement protocol, implant length, and the quality of coronal restoration appear to be robust risk indicators for both PIM and PI. Additionally, the length of follow-up and functional loading time are robust indicators of PI. Furthermore, the potential modifying relationships of age and smoking status with the MD and BL widths of restoration may be crucial for the development of PI.

본 연구에서는 공복혈당장애 및 당뇨병과 치주질환의 관련성을 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구는 국민건강영양조사 제5기(2010년, 2012년) 원시자료를 이용하였으며, 만 19세 이상 성인 총 10,856명을 최종 연구대상자로 선정하였다. 치주질환 유병여부를 종속변수로 한 로지스틱 회귀분석에서는 모든 변수가 보정된 상태에서 성별, 연령, 교육수준, 흡연 및 당뇨병상태가 통계적으로 유의하게 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.001). 본 연구결과 당뇨병의 전단계인 공복혈당장애가 치주질환의 확실한 위험요인으로 보이지는 않지만, 전당뇨병 환자는 당뇨병을 예방하거나 지연시키는 노력을 하지 않으면, 10년 내에 당뇨병으로 발전될 가능성이 높으므로 전당뇨병 단계에서부터 치주질환의 지속적인 검사와 관리가 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

Objectives: This study aimed to examined the socioeconomic disparities in oral health related behaviors and to assess if those behaviors eliminate socioeconomic disparities in oral health in a nationally representative sample of adults aged 30-64. Methods: Data are from the Korea Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005). Behaviors were indicated by smoking, over intake of daily calories from carbohydrate, perceived stress, frequency of daily tooth brushing, use of oral hygiene goods, insufficient oral treatment. Oral health outcomes were self-reported dental caries and periodontitis during the last 12 months and perceived oral health. Education, household income, and employed status indicated socioeconomic position. Sex, age, residential area, marital status were adjusted for in the logistic regression analysis. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess socioeconomic disparities in behaviors. Logistic regression model adjusting and not adjusting for behaviors were compared to assess the change in socioeconomic disparities in oral health. Results: Clear socioeconomic disparities in all behaviors were showed. After adjusting for behaviors, the association between oral health and socioeconomic indicators attenuated but did not disappear. For example, the odd ratios of reporting poorer oral health for persons in no education or elementary school education and middle school education groups, compared with college or higher education group, were 1.77 (95% CI: 1.36-2.29) and 1.56 (1.19-1.97), respectively. After adjusting for all indicators of behaviors, these odds ratios attenuated to 1.54 (1.17-2.03) and 1.48 (1.15-1.91) for those groups, respectively. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the presence of more complex determinants of socioeconomic disparities in oral health should be considered with developing preventive policies for those disparities.

Introduction: Bisphosphonates is used widely for the treatment of the Paget's disease, multiple myeloma, bone metastases of malignant tumors with the prevention of pain and their pathological fracture. However, it was recently suggested that bisphosphonates related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a side effect of bisphosphonate use. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four individuals, who were referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery, Dankook University Dental Hospital, were selected from those who had exposed bone associated with bisphosphonates from January, 2005 to December, 2009 according to the criteria of American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) for BRONJ. The patients group consisted of 7 males and 17 females between the age of 46 to 78 years (average 61.8 years). Each patient had panoramic imaging, computed tomography (CT), whole body bone scanning performed for a diagnosis and biopsy sampling from the necrotizing tissue. C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) level of patients who had undergone surgical intervention was measured 7 days before surgery. Results: The main cause of bone exposure was post-extraction (15), chronic periodontitis (4), persistent irritation of the denture (3). Twenty people had undergone BRONJ treatment for two to eight months except for 4 people who had to maintain the bisphosphonates treatment to prevent a metastasis and bone trabecular pain with medical treatment. When the bisphosphonate treatment was suspended at least for 3 months and followed up according to the AAOMS protocols, the exposed necrotizing bones were found to be covered by soft tissue. Conclusion: Prevention therapy, interruption of bisphophonates for at least 3 months and cooperation with the physician for conservative treatment are the essential for treating BRONJ patient with high risk factors. The CTX level of BRONJ patients should be checked before undergoing surgical intervention. Surgical treatments should be delayed in the case of a CTX level <150 pg/mL.

A disease of young Holstein calves characterized by recurrent pneumonia, ulcerative and granulomatous stomatitis, enteritis with bacterial overgrowth, periodontitis, delayed wound healing, persistent neutrophilia and death at an early age had been originally described in 1983 and again in 1987. Most of these calves had stunted growth and a persistent, progressive neutrophilia (often exceeding 100,000/ml). By investigation of pedigrees, all of the affected calves have now been traced to a common sire and confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) diagnostic DNA testing to be homozygous carriers of a defective allele for bovine CD18. Neutrophils from these calves have several functional deficits and, most importantly, fail to adhere in a ${\beta}_2$-integrin dependent manner. The ${\beta}_2$-integrins represent a family of glycoproteins which participate in various leukocyte adhesion reactions during host defense. The presence or absence of ${\beta}_2$-integrin molecules can be demonstrated on the surface of neutrophils, monocytes and lymphocytes from normal or affected calves using specific monoclonal antibodies and flow cytometry, or by colloidal gold immunolabeling and scanning electron microscopy in backscatter mode. Deficiency of the ${\beta}_2$-integrins on all leukocyte types in Holstein calves is analogous to leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) seen in humans. Neutrophils in bovine (BLAD) and human LAD patients are unable to adhere to the endothelial lining of the cardiovascular system thus interrupting egression of neutrophils into infected tissues. Other leukocytes, while still deficient in expression of the ${\beta}_2$-integrins, are still able to efficiently egress from the blood stream due to interactions of other adhesion molecules that are not as highly expressed on neutrophils. Both BLAD cattle and LAD children (who do not receive bone marrow transplants) often die at an early age as a result of the failure of neutrophils to extravasate into infected tissues. In 1991, Shuster, et $al^{27}$, identified two point mutations within the alleles encoding bovine CD18 in a Holstein calf afflicted with leukocyte adhesion deficiency. One mutation causes an aspartic acid to glycine substitution at amino acid 128 (D128G) in an extracellular region of this adhesion glycoprotein that is highly conserved (> 95% identity) between humans, cattle and mice. The other mutation is silent. Numerous calves with clinical symptoms of leukocyte adhesion deficiency have since been tested and all have been found homozygous for the D128G allele. In addition, calves homozygous far the D128G allele have been identified during widespread DNA testing in the United States. All cattle with the mutant allele are related to one bull, who through artificial insemination (A.I.), sired many calves in the 1950's and 1960's. The carrier frequency of the D128G CD18 allele among U.S. Holstein cattle had reached approximately 15% among active A.I. bulls and 8% among cows. By 1993, the organization of the dairy industry and the diagnostic test developed to genotype cattle, enabled virtually complete eradication of bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency among current and future A.I. bulls.

치주질환은 광범위한 만성 염증질환으로 삶의 질, 영양섭취에 큰 영향을 준다. 몇몇의 연구에서 치주질환과 골밀도가 낮은 사람과의 연관성이 보고되고 있으며 비타민 D는 골밀도뿐 아니라 항염증효과도 있기 때문에 치주질환에도 좋은 영향을 줄 것으로 예측된다. 하지만 연구에 따라 다른 결과를 보이고 한국에서는 이에 대한 연구가 부족하므로, 한국인에서 비타민 D와 치주질환의 관계를 알아보기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 본 연구는 대한민국에서 실시한 국민건강영양조사 2012~2014년의 3개년도 23,626명 중 20세 이상, 비타민 D 혈중농도, 치주질환의 유무가 있는 8,783명을 대상으로 다중선형회귀분석을 시행하여 연령별, 성별 비타민 D 혈중농도와 치주질환이 관계가 있는지 살펴보았다. 치아 상실과 비타민 D의 농도는 음의 상관관계를 가졌다(${\beta}=-0.028$, p=0.008). 또한 대상군 중 50세 이하의 남성에서 비타민 D의 농도가 낮을수록 치주질환의 유병률이 높은 것으로 나타났다(Q1: 1.769 [1.125~2.782], Q2: 1.182 [0.743~1.881], Q3: 0.676 [0.400~1.881]; p=0.001). 비타민 D의 결핍과 치주질환은 진료현장에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 질환이다. 비타민 D의 보충으로 치주질환 및 낙상, 골다공증, 골관절염, 암 등에서 좋은 영향을 미칠 것으로 기대되므로 치주질환이 있는 환자에게는 치주질환의 관리뿐만 아니라 삶의 질 향상을 위해 비타민 D 농도의 일정수준 유지가 도움이 될 수 있겠다. 따라서 본 연구에서와 같이 노인뿐만 아니라 50세 이하 성인남성에서도 연관이 있으므로, 성인에서도 비타민 D 농도의 일정수준 유지에 관심을 가져야 할 것이다.
