Today, there is considerable evidence to support a cause-effect relationship between microbial colonization and the pathogenesis of implant failures. The presence of bacteria on implant surfaces may result in an inflammation of the peri-implant mucosa, and, if left untreated, it may lead to a progressive destruction of alveolar bone supporting the implant, which has been named as peri-impantitis. Several maintenance regimens and treatment strategies for failing implants have been suggested. Recently, in addition to these conventional tools, the use of different laser systems has also been proposed for treatment of peri-implant infections. As lasers can perform excellent tissue ablation with high bactericidal and detoxification effects, they are expected to be one of the most promising new technical modalities for treatment of failing implants. It is introduced that Er,Cr:YSGG laser, operating at 2780nm, ablates tissue by a hydrokinetic process that prevents temperature rise. We studied the change of the titanium implant surface under scanning electron microscopy after using Er,Cr:YSGG laser at various energies, irradiation time. In this study, Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation of implant fixture showed different effects according to implant surface. Er,Cr:YSGG laser in TPS surface with RBM not alter the implant surface under power setting of 4 Watt(W) and irradiation time of 30sec. But in TPS surface with $Ca_3P$ coating alter above power setting of 2W and irradiation time of 10sec. TPS surface with RBM showed microfracture in 4W, 30sec and TPS surface with $Ca_3P$ coating showed destruction of fine crystalline structure, melting in excess of 2W, 10sec. We concluded that proper power setting, air, water of each implant surface must be investigated and implant surface must be irradiated under the damaged extent.

Purpose : This study was performed to provide an anatomical information of the mandibular ramus for the successful inferior alveolar nerve block. Three dimensional images were reconstructed from the computerized tomography (CT) and the anatomical evaluation of the mandibular ramus was done. Materials and methods : Sixty-four patients who had been taken the facial CT scans from 2000, Jan to 2003, June was selected. The patients who had the anterior or posterior teeth misssing, edentulous ridge, and jaw fracture were excepted. In the occulusal plane, the lingual surface angle (LSA) between the mid-sagittal plane and the mandibular molar lingual surface from the 2nd premolar to the 2nd molar, the inner ramal surface angle (IRSA), the maximum inner ramal surface angle (MxIRSA), and the outer ramal surface angle (ORSA) to the-mid sagittal plane were measured. The inner ramal surface angle in the ligular tip level (IRSA-L) and the outer ramal surface angle in the ligular tip level (ORSA-L), the ramal length (RL), and the anterior ramal length (ARL) were also measured in the lingular tip level. Results : In the lingular tip level, the mean IRSA-L and ORSA-L were $28.6{\pm}6.3^{\circ}$ and $17.9{\pm}4.9^{\circ}$ respectively. The larger was the IRSA, the larger was the ORSA. In the lingular tip level, the mean ramal length was 35.8${\pm}$3.4 mm. The larger was the IRSA-L, the shorter was the ramal length. On the lingular tip level, the mean anterior ramal length from anterior ramus to lingular tip was 19.6${\pm}$3.3 mm. when the ramal length was longer, the anterior ramal length was also longer. On the lingular tip level, there was positive correlation vetween the IRSA and the ORSA, negative correlation between the IRSA and the ramal length, and positive correlation between the ramal length and the lingular tip level to the anterior ramus. There was no statistical meaning of data between sex and age. Conclusion : In the clinical view of the results so far achieved, if the direction of needle is closer to posterior it is able to contact bone on lingular tip when the internal surface of ramus is wided outer.

The present study was to evaluate the healing patterns of guided tissue regeneration( GTR) using resorbable $Vicryl^{(R)}$(polyglactin 910) mesh and nonresorbable expanded polytetrafluoroethylene(ePTFE) membrane with or without bone grafting using autogeneous bone and demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft(DFDBA) in the grade II furcation defects. Mucoperiosteal flaps were reflected buccally in the mandibular 2nd, 3rd and 4th premolar areas and furcation defects were created surgically by removing $5{\times}6mm$ alveolar bone in 4 dogs. Root surfaces were thoroughly debrided of periodontal ligament and cementum, and notches were placed on root surface at the most apical bone level. In the right and left mandibular quadrant, each tooth was received $Vicryl^{(R)}$ mesh(ACE Surgical Supply Co., USA) only, $Vicryl^{(R)}$ mesh with DFDBA, $Vicryl^{(R)}$ mesh with autogeneous bone grafts, ePTFE membrane($Core-tex^{(R)}$ membrane, W.L. Gore & Associates Inc., USA) only, ePTFE membrane with DFDBA or ePTFE membrane with autogeneous bone grafts. For the fluorescent microscopic examination, fluorescent agents were injected at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after surgery. Four weeks after surgery, 2 dogs were sacrificed and ePTFE membranes were removed from remaining 2 dogs, which were sacrificed at 12 weeks after surgery. Undecalcified tissues were embedded in methylmethacrylate and $10{\mu}m$ thick sections were cut in a buccolingual direction. These sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin stain and Masson's trichrome stain, and evaluated by descriptive histology and linear measurements. The results were as follows : 1) $Vicryl^{(R)}$ mesh group showed less connective tissue attachment than ePTFE membrane group. 2) The combination of GTR using $Vicryl^{(R)}$ mesh and osseous grafts resulted in new attachment and new bone formation more than GTR using $Vicryl^{(R)}$ mesh only. 3) GTR using ePTFE membrane, with or without osseous grafts, enhanced periodontal regeneration. 4) Root resorption and dentoalveolar ankylosis were observed in the areas treated with the combination of GTR and DFDBA. It was suggested that the effect of adjunctive bone grafting in GTR procedure depends on the materials and the physical properties of barrier membranes. $Vicryl^{(R)}$ mesh performed a barrier function and the use of adjunctive bone grafting may enhance the periodontal regeneration.

The geometric design of an implant surface may play an important role in affecting early osseointegration. It is well known that the porous surfaced implant had much benefits for the osseointegration and the early stability of implant. However, the porous surfaced implant had weakness from the transgingival contamitants, and it resulted in alveolar bone loss. The other problem identified with porous surface implant is the loss of physical properties resulting from the bead sintering process. In this study, we developed the new bead coating implant to overcome the disadvantages of porous surfaced implant. Ti-6Al-4V beads were supplied from STARMET (USA). The beads were prepared by a plasma rotating electrode process (PREP) and had a nearly spherical shape with a diameter of 75-150 ${\mu}m$. Two types of titanium implants were supplied by KJ Meditech (Korea). One is an external hexa system (External type) and the other is an internal system with threads (Internal type). The implants were pasted with beads using polyvinylalcohol solution as a binder, and then sintered at 1250 $^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours in vacuum of $10^{-5}$ torr. The resulting porous structure was 400-500 ${\mu}m$ thick and consisted of three to four bead layers bonded to each other and the implant. The pore size was in the range of 50-150 ${\mu}m$ and the porosity was 30-40 % in volume. The aim of this study was to evaluate the osseointegration of the newly developed dental implant. The experimental implants (n=16) were inserted in the unilateral femur of 4 mongrel dogs. All animals were killed at 8 weeks after implantation, and samples were harvested for hitological examination. All bead coated porous implants were successfully osseointegrated with peripheral bone. The average bone-implant contact ratios were 84.6 % (External type) and 81.5 % (Internal type). In the modified Goldner's trichrome staining, new generated mature bones were observed at the implant interface at 8 weeks after implantation. Although, further studies are required, we could conclude that the newly developed vacuum sintered Ti-6Al-4V bead coating implant was strong enough to resist the implant insertion force, and it was easily osseointegrated with peripheral bone.

The 3 beagle dogs aged over one and half years and weighed 14 to 16 Kg were utilized in this study. Horizontal furcation defects were induced around 3rd, and 4th premolars bilaterally. BMP-4 in conjunction with EGF and BMP-4 only were applied in the right and left premolars respectively. 1 animal was sacrificed at 2nd week, 4th week, and 8th week, after regenerative surgery respectively. Semi-thin sections using glass-knife were stained with hematoxylin- eosin and trichrome for light microscopic study. The results were as follows : 1 . The long junctional epithelial downgrowth was observed in both area applied with BMP-4 and with BMP-4 and EGF at 2nd week after the surgery. 2 . The extensive regeneration of new bone and cementum was appeared at 4th week and the maturation of bone was observed at 8th week in both area applied with BMP-4 and with BMP-4 and EGF. 3 . The root ankylosis and resorption was presented along the exposed root surface at the coronal 1/3 of defect in the BMP-4 applied site, but it was not shown in the site applied with BMP-4 in conjunction with EGF at the 4th week. At 8th week, the root ankylosis was apparently appeared in the BMP-4 and EGF applied site as well as in the BMP-4 applied site. 4 . The periodontal ligament tissue including Sharpey's fiber inserted into cementum and alveolar bone, was formed along the exposed root surface in the area applied with BMP-4 only, but in the site applied with BMP-4 and EGF, the collagen fiber running parallel to the root surface without Sharpey's fiber, was observed in the periodontal ligament space at 4th and 8th week. Within the above results, BMP-4 had the remarkable capability to regenerate the periodontal tissue and EGF had possibility to prevent from the root ankylosis. Therefore, growth factors including BMP-4 and EGF may have the strong possibility to be utilized in the clinical periodontal treatments.

The present study investigates the effects of calcium sulfate graft on the periodontal healing in intrabony periodontal defects of dogs. Following the general anesthesia with 30mg/kg pentobarbital injected intravenously, the first premolar was extracted and full-thickness periodontal flap was elevated from the second premolar to the fourth premolar. The portion of premolars coronal to the alveolar crest was removed and mesial and distal roots were separated. Exposed root canals were sealed with Caviton and covered completely with flaps sutured. Following the healing period of 12 weeks, the surgical sited were uncovered and $4{\times}4mm$ intrabony defects were surgically created. Those defects with calcium sulfate graft following the root planing was designated as the test sites and those with flap surgery-only were designated as control sites. The animals were sacrificed after 8 weeks and the healing was histologically analyzed. The results were as follows. 1. No foreign body reaction or inflammation were observed in either groups. Calcium sulfate was completely resorbed in the test sites. 2. New cementum was observed coronal to the notch in both groups. Connective tissue fibers were oriented parallel to the root surface in the controls. Connective tissues were formed in large amount in the sites. 3. Test sites showed marked amount of new bone formation while the control sites showed minimal bone gain. 4. Root resorption was observed in coronal portions of th control Sites. The results suggest that calcium sulfate is a biocompatible graft material with a potential for new bone and cementum formation.

본 연구는 협측 이소맹출된 상악 제2대구치의 협측 반대교합을 개선하기 위해 사용되는 maxillary posterior crossbite appliance에 의해 상악 제2대구치의 치근단과 그 주위의 치조골에 발생되는 응력분포를 알아보기 위해 광탄성법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 상악의 치조골을 재현하기 위해 PL-3형의 epoxy resin과 PL-3보다 경질인 레진치아를 사용하여 협측 이소맹출된 상악 제2대구치를 광탄성모형으로 재현하였다. 광탄성 모형상에 maxillary posterior crossbite appliance를 적용하고 힘을 가하기 전과후의 응력분포를 알아보기 위해 원형편광기를 사용하여 모형의 전후방에서 관찰하였다. 이상의 연구를 통해 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 상악 제2대구치의 구개면에 힘을 가한 경우, 협측과 구개측 치근첨에는 무늬차수 0.6차와 치경부에는 무늬차수 0.9차의 응력이 집중이 되어 나타났고 회전중심이 구개측 치근은 치근첨에, 협측 치근은 치근 1/4부위에 발생하였으며 이로 인해 제2대구치에 구개측으로의 비조절성 경사이동 및 회전력이 발생하였다. 2. 상악 제2대구치의 협측면에 힘을 가한 경우에는 구개면에 힘을 가한 경우 보다 협측과 구개측의 치근첨에 더 많은 무늬차수 2.2차의 응력이 발생하였다. 또한 치근하방의 치조골 부위에 응력의 발생과 함께 구개측 치근의 회전중심은 사라지고 협측 치근은 치근첨으로 이동하여 이로 인해 구개측으로의 조절성 경사이동 및 함입력이 발생하였다. 3. 상악 제2대구치의 협측이나 설측에 힘을 가한 경우, 고정원인 제1대구치는 치근첨부위에 소량의 응력이 발생하였고, 편측의 제2대구치에만 힘을 가한 경우보다 양측의 제2대구치에 동시에 힘을 가한 경우에서 더 많은 양의 응력이 제1대구치에 발생하였다. 이상의 결과는 협측 이소맹출된 상악 제2대구치의 구치부 협측 반대교합을 개선하기 위해 사용되는 maxillary posterior crossbite appliance를 적용할 때, 제1대구치의 고정원 상실을 최소화하기 위해서는 편측의 제2대구치를 먼저 개선시키고 그 후 반대측 제2대구치의 개선을 도모하는 것이 바람직하다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 구개측면보다는 협측면에서 견인력을 가하여 제2대구치에 함입력과 구개측으로의 조절성 경사이동을 발생시키는 것이 구치의 정출 및 회전에 의해 야기될 수 있는 교합장애를 방지할 수 있으리라 사료된다.

본 연구는 설측 이소맹출된 하악 제2대구치의 협측 반대교합을 개선하기 위해 사용되는 mandibular posterior crossbite appliance에 의해 하악 제2대구치의 치근단과 그 주위의 치조골에 발생되는 응력분포를 알아보기 위해 광탄성법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 하악의 치조골을 재현하기 위해 PL-3 형의 epoxy resin과 PL-3 보다 경질인 레진치아를 사용하여 설측 이소맹출된 하악 제2대구치를 광탄성모형으로 재현하였다. 광탄성 모현상에 mandibular posterior crossbite appliance를 적용하고 힘을 가하기 전과후의 응력 분포를 알아보기 위해 원형편광기 를 사용하여 모형의 전후방에서 관찰하였다. 이상의 연구를 통해 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 하악 제2대구치의 협측면에 힘을 가한 경우, 설측 치조정과 치근첨 부위에 응력이 집중되어 나타났고 회전중심이 치근 협측면의 중간 1/3부위와 치근첨 부위에 발생하였으며 이로 인해 제 2대구치에 협측으로의 비조절성 경사이동 및 회전력이 발생하였다. 2. 하악 제2대구치의 설측면에 힘을 가한 경우에는 협측면에 힘을 가한 경우 보다 치근첨에 더 많은 응력이 발생하였다. 또한 치근하방의 치조골 부위에 응력이 증가하였으며 치근의 협측면과 치근첨 부위의 회전중심도 없어져 이로 인한 협측으로의 조절성 경사 이동 및 함입력이 관찰되었다. 3. 하악 제2대구치의 협측이나 설측에 힘을 가한 경우, 고정원인 제1대구치의 치근첨 부위는 힘을 가하기 전의 초기 응력상태와 비교할 때 응력의 증가는 보이지 않아 구치부 협측 반대 교합의 개선시 하악의 설측 호선은 효과적인 고정원으로 사용될 수 있다. 이상의 연구 결과는 설측 이소맹출된 하악 제2대구치의 구치부 협측 반대교합을 개선하기 위해 사용되는 mandibular posterior crossbite appliance를 적용할 때, 제2대구치의 협측면보다는 설측면에서 힘을 부여하는 것이 교합장애를 야기시킬 수 있는 비조절성 경사이동과 구치의 회전을 피하면서 협측으로의 조절성 경사이동 및 함입력을 적용시킬 수 있음을 의미한다.
