The ultimate goal of periodontal treatment has been to facilitate regeneration of diseased periodontal tissues, destroyed by inflammatory periodontal disease. Various implant materials have been used to restore the alveolar bone defects. Of the various materials, porous replamineform hydroxyapatite (PHA) has good biocompatibility when placed in a bone tissue, and maintains alveolar ridge for a long period. Decalcified freeze dried bone(DFDB) has been widely used in alveolar bone defects because of its conformity and high osteogenic potential. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of PHA and DFDB on the regeneration of the alveolar bone between fresh extraction sockets and periodontally involved extraction sockets. Experimental periodontitis was induced by the ligation of orthodontic elastic threads after surgically creating periodontal defects on the premolars on the right side of 2 adult dogs for 8 weeks. Following the extraction of each tooth, PHA and DFDB were inserted in the extraction sockets. In control group 1, PHA was inserted in the fresh extraction sockets, and in control group 2, DFDB was inserted. In experimental group 1, PHA was inserted in the periodontally involved extraction sockets, and in experimental group 2, DFDB was inserted. After 20 weeks, the specimens were prepared and stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin stain for the light microscopic evaluation. The results of this study were as follows. 1. No inflammation associated with implant materials was evident in any of the groups. 2. DFDB was completely resorbed, PHA was remained in the extraction sockets in the control and experimental groups. 3. In control group 1 and experimental group 1, extraction sockets were not completely filled with new bone. However, original forms of alveolar crests were maintained in control group 2 and experimental group 2. 4. In control group 1 and exprimental group 1, PHA particles surrounded with many giant cells were well tolerated by the fibrous connective tissues in the coronal part of the socket, In the inferior part of the socket, PHA particles were incorporated into the new bone. In both control group 2 and experimental group 2, DFDB was replaced by newly remodeled bone. 5. No differences of degree of new bone formation were evident between control and experimental groups.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the alveolar bone surface following root separation angle in the mandibular second molars. The fifty mandibular second molars(which were extracted) were selected, and the alveolar bone surface following root separation angle of the selected teeth were evaluated. The results were obtained as follows; 1. The root separation angle of fifty mandibular second molars were divided into three groups. The first $group(10-20^{\circ})$ was made up of ten teeth, the second $group(20-30^{\circ})$ was made up of fifteen teeth, and the third group(30-40$^{\circ}$) was made up of twenty-five teeth. 2. The mean root separation angle was $28.1^{\circ}$. The mean alveolar bone rate on the mesial surface of the mesial root was 44.27%, on the distal surface of the mesial root was 36.52%, on the mesial surface of the distal root was 33.45%, and on the distal surface of the distal root was 25.28%. 3. The mean alveolar bone rate on the distal surface of the mesial root, which composed the root separation area, was 32.95% in the first group, 36.06% in the second group, and 38.22% in the third group. The mean alveolar bone rate in the mesial surface of the distal root was 31.40% in the first group, 31.93% in the second group, and 35.18% in the third group. 4. The positive correlation was found between the root separation angle and the alveolar bone rate in the root separation area.(P<0.05) Although the mandibular second molar is a very important tooth in the oral cavity, its treatment and diagnosis is very difficult due to the variation of its root form. When periodontal disease involves the mandibular second molar, the result of this study assists in its treatment and diagnosis.

Patients who present with severe maxillary bone loss Secondary to trauma or resorption provide a unique diagnosis and difficulty in implant installation. To solve this problem, various bone grafting methods and graft materials can be used in these compromised cases. But for the patients required wide reconstruction, autogenous iliac bone has been used widely because of easy harvesting of much corticocancellous bone. Usually, implant installations are performed 6-12 months later after grafting. but this method necessary long treatment period and additional surgery. To avoid this disadvantages, bone grafting with immediate implant installations are frequently used. But special care is necessary to prevent postoperative complication in this method. We present three cases of veneer grafting with immediate implant installation. These patients had a knife-edge shaped alveolar bone due to labial alveolar bone loss. We reconstructed this alveolar bone with veneer grafting with iliac bone and performed immediate implant installation. There was no complications during healing periods in these three cases. Six months later, we found good survival of grafting bone and osseointegration of these implants, so we could perform prosthetic treatment successfully.

The success of implants essentially depends on a sufficient volume of healthy bone at the recipient site during implant placement. In patients who have the severe alveolar bone resorption or pneumatized maxillary sinus, it should be performed that bone regeneration procedure before implant placement. Development of barrier membrane makes it possible that predictable result of alveolar bone reconstruction. Many kind of materials used for barrier membrane technique are introduced, non-absorbable or absorbable membranes. But, when operation site was ruptured with membrane exposure, bacterias can be grow up at the bone graft site. Then morphology and migration of fibroblast will be changed. It works as a negative factor on healing process of bone graft site. In oral and maxillofacial department of Chonbuk national university dental hospital, we use variable suture technique like as subgingival suture, vertical mattress suture, simple interrupted suture, if need, tenting suture after GBR or block bone graft. Within these suture technique, wound healing was excellent without complication, so now we take a report of suture technique in reconstruction of alveolar bone surgery.

The modified ridge splitting/expansion technique combined with guided bone regeneration (GBR) for implant surgery is used to expand the narrow and atrophied edentulous alveolar ridge. Also, the simultaneous implant placement after ridge splitting/expansion technique can reduce the treatment and healing time. This case report includes three patients with a narrow edentulous alveolar ridge of the 2 to 4mm. All three patients underwent a fracture of thin buccal cortical bone plate, and these defects were corrected by the use of the guided bone regeneration (GBR). After 7 to 18 months, all surgical area was stable, and all implant showed a good healing state on the clinical and radiographic examination. In conclusion, though this surgical method is technique sensitive, the modified ridge splitting/expansion technique combined with GBR for implant surgery is recommended for a horizontal augmentation in the narrow edentulous alveolar ridge.

Objectives: This study was performed to evaluate course of the inferior alveolar canal in the mandibular ramus and to find safety zone when ramal bone is harvested. Patients and Methods: From January, 2009 to February, 2009, the 20 patients who visited in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Sanbon Dental Hospital. Wonkwang University and the Conebeam CT was taken of various chief complaints, were selected. The patients who had left and right mandibular first molar and incisor missing, jaw fracture and bone pathology were excluded. The R point was defined as the point which occlusal plane was crossed to the mandibular anterior ramus(external oblique ridge). In the cross-sectional coronal and axial views, the inferior alveolar canal position to the R point, buccal bone width(BW), alveolar crest distance(ACD), distance from alveolar crest to occlusal plane(COD) and inferior alveolar canal to sagittal plane(CS) were measured and horizontal distance(HD), vertical distance(VD) and nearest distance(ND) were measured. Results: The inferior alveolar canal is located $6.19{\pm}1.21\;mm$ from the R point. Horizontal distance from the R point were $13.07{\pm}2.45\;mm$, vertical distance from the R point were $14.24{\pm}2.41\;mm$ and nearest distance from the R point were $10.12{\pm}1.76\;mm$. The course of the inferior alveolar canal was positioned within $0.61{\pm}0.68\;mm$. The distance from external buccal bone to the inferior alveolar canal was increased from the R point anteriorly. Conclusions: It is considered that the mandibular ramus from the R point to 10 mm anteriorly can be harvested safely at ramal bone grafting.

Objectives: The purpose of this preliminary study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a customized, three-dimensional, preformed titanium mesh as a barrier membrane for peri-implant alveolar bone regeneration. Materials and Methods: Ten patients were recruited for this study. At the time of implant placement, all patients had fenestration or a dehiscence defect around the implant fixture. A mixture of particulate intraoral autologous bone and freeze-dried bone allograft was applied to the defect in a 1 : 1 volume ratio and covered by the preformed titanium mesh. A core biopsy specimen was taken from the regenerated bone four months postoperatively. Patients were followed for 12 months after the definitive prosthesis was placed. Results: Satisfactory bone regeneration with limited fibrous tissue was detected beneath the preformed titanium mesh. Histologic findings revealed that newly formed bones were well-incorporated into the allografts and connective tissue. New growth was composed of approximately 80% vital bone, 5% fibrous marrow tissue, and 15% remaining allograft. All implants were functional without any significant complications. Conclusion: The use of preformed titanium mesh may support bone regeneration by maintaining space for new bone growth through its macro-pores. This preliminary study presents the efficacy of a preformed titanium mesh as a ready-to-use barrier membrane around peri-implant alveolar bone defect. This preformed mesh is also convenient to apply and to remove.

This study was performed to estimate the effect of plaque control on the progress of the repair pattern of the alveolar bone surface after bone surgery. In this experiment six mongrel dogs were used, four of them were as experimental group and others were as control. In the case of experimental group, dental floss ligature was tied over the neck of crown for permiting of plaque accumulation during one week before surgery and oral hygiene procedures were not performed. In control group, all the surgical intervention was done as same procedure with experimental except oral hygiene program. After surgery plaque was controlled during one week with using the chlorhexidine brushing. Animals were sacrificed at 1,2,4,6 weeks after osseous surgery. The results were as follows : 1. The alveolar bone defects were covered with regenerated epithelium at one week, matrix change of granulation tissue on subcutaneous area was observed, and new bone formation was initiated from the surface of the bone defects. 2. The connective tissue arrangement revealed more dense, new bone formation by osteoblasts was active at 2 weeks and proliferation of gingival epithelium and alveolar bone tissue were evident at 4 weeks, and almostly recovered to normal condition at 6 weeks. 3. In experimental group, inflammatory reaction was persistent in early stage and bone repair was delayed compared to control group. 4. In control group, matrix change of granulation tissue was initiated from one week, regeneration of gingival epithelium and maturation of subcutaneous conective tissue and new bone formation were evident at 2 weeks, so almost normal bone regeneration was observed at 4,6 weeks.
