All prosthetic and restorative therapies require a healthy periodontium as a prerequisite for success. Understanding of the concepts of periodontal-restrorative interaction, especially with regard to interactions at the gingival margin is important. The aim of this article gives the information about the essential considering factor for successful prosthesis; biologic width, periodontal biotype, width of attached gingiva, margin of restoration. If a restorative margin must be extended below the gingival margin, it is critical that adequate band of attached gingiva is present, the margin does not violate the biologic width, the margin is closed and properly finished.

The mandibular buccal frenum is defined as a fold of mucous membrane at the posterior labial vestibule and attaches the lips and the cheeks to the alveolar mucosa, gingiva, and underlying periosteum. The buccal frenum becomes a problem when its attachment is too close to the marginal gingiva. It may then pull on healthy gingiva, encourage plaque formation and interfere with tooth brushing. Especially, heavy buccal frenum mucogingivally results in insufficent attached gingiva, inadequate vestibular depth and high frenum attachment and also difficulty in eruption of mandibular premolar. Frenotomy, frenectomy and mucogingival surgery are used in treating heavy buccal frenum. Frenotomy with autogenous free gingival graft has been used popularly because of its stable result. But, it is difficult in younger children because of inadequate donor site, difficulty in making recipient site and behavior management. Frenotomy with apically positioned flap is considered as more efficient way for a very young child with heavy buccal frenum. Additionally, modified deep sedation with $N_2O-O_2$ can be used as an adjunct for the effective treatment outcome. Decrease in muscle pull, adequate width of attached gingiva and increased vestibular depth can be expected from this treatment approach.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical changes in graft size after treatment with connective tissue autograft in human. 40 premolar teeth in 23 patients having the following mucogingival problemswere selected. The width of extension, attached gingiva including free marginal gingiva, width of transplant and clinical sulcus depth were measured at the initial examination, 2, 12 and 24 weeks following the connective tissue autograft and free gingival autograft. The change of width of extension, attached gingiva including free marginal gingiva, width of transplant and clinical sulcus depth according to healing process in both graft procedures was statistically analyzed by ANOVA test and independent ttest using SPSS program. The results were as follows : 1. The change of keratinized gingiva in both grafting procedures was increased significantly at 24 weeks post-op. 2. The clinical sulcus depth exhibited no marked changes throughoutthe entire investigation in both grafting procedures. 3 . After 12 weeks, no dimensional variation was seen in graft size in both grafting procedures. 4. Shrinkage differs significantly in both grafting procedures. From the day of graft to 24 weeks after surgery the percentages of shrinkage were connective tissue autograft 55% and free gingival autograft 29%.

상악중절치의 매복은 임상적으로 흔히 볼 수 있다. 대부분의 경우 중절치는 협측에 매복되어 있다. 이러한 협측매복은 치료가 무척 어렵다. 협측매복시 치은퇴축과 부착치은의 상실,치주낭이 발견된다. 따라서 성공적인 치료를 위해서는 외과적 술식을 통해서 부착치은의 소실을 최소화해야 할 것이다. 매복치의 위치와 부착치은의 양에 따라 수술방법으로 간단한 치은절제술(gingivectomy)외에도 필요하면 근단변위판막술(apically positioned flap), 측방변위판막술(laterally positioned flap), 유리치은 이식술(free gingival graft) 등과 같은 여러 판막술과 치아의 생리적인 맹출기전을 복제한 폐쇄 맹출법 (closed eruption technique)을 고려 할 수 있다. 하지만 치은절제술은 근단변위판막술에 비하여 부착치은의 양이 적어 많은 양의 부착치은 이 필요한 경우에는 근단변위판막술이 적응증이며 매복치아가 nasal spine근처에 있을 때는 폐쇄 맹출법을 선택해야 할 것이다. 본 증례에서 두 증례에서는 근단변위 판막술을 한 증례에서는 폐쇄 맹출법을 사용한 바 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 폐쇄 맹출법이 더 심미적이었으나 부착치은의 양은 작았다. 이에 상악 중절치의 매복의 경우에서 올바른 임상적, 방사선학적인 검사를 통해 적응증에 맞는 외과적 수술로써 외과적 견인후 합병증을 최소화할 수 있었다.

임상적으로 흔히 관찰되는 상악 영구 전치의 매복은 대부분 치조골 순측에 매복되어 있다. 치조골의 순측에 매복되어 정상적인 맹출을 기대할 수 없을 때, 매복 원인을 제거 후 관찰하거나 필요시 외과적 노출술 또는 교정 장치물을 부착하여 교정적인 견인을 고려할 수 있다. 일반적으로 매복치아가 치조점막부에 위치하거나, 치조골내 깊이 매복되어있는 경우, 단순히 치은절제술과 치조골 제거에 의한 매복치의 외과적 노출은 부착치은 폭경의 감소, 치은염 발생, 변연 치조골 상실 등을 초래할 수 있다. 따라서 치아를 외과적으로 노출시키고 교정 장치물을 부착시킨 후 다시 판막을 피개하는 폐쇄 맹출법으로 교정적 견인을 하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나 매복 치아가 가동성 점막 직하방에 존재한다면 근단 변위 판막술을 통해, 단순히 치은의 절제를 통한 노출시 발생하는 합병증을 방지할 수 있고, 매복치의 맹출 유도를 더 용이하게 시행할 수 있다. 본 증례는 상악 영구 절치의 미맹출을 주소로 본원에 내원한 환아들을 대상으로 하여 근단 변위 판막술을 시행한 결과 부착치은의 상실없이 맹출 유도를 얻고 심미성에서 양호한 결과를 얻을 수 있어 보고하는 바이다.

The present study examines the effects of orthodontic treatment of surgically exposed impacted upper canines or ectopically erupted upper canines to periodontal condition and whether various opening procedures have significant difference in postoperative periodontal status. The subjects included 23 orthodontic patients(7 men, 16 women) with unilateral upper canine impaction treated either with closed eruption technique(group I), with apically positioned flap procedure (group II), and those with canines ectopically erupted through keratinized gingiva (group III). In each subject, the ectopic canine was orthodontically aligned, and changes in periodontal tissue were assessed by measuring keratinized gingival width, attached gingival width, probing depth and bone probing depth. In all three groups, the width of keratinized gingiva was preserved while showed no signs of detrimental periodontal condition such as gingival recession. In all three groups, no significant difference in periodontal pocket depth from control was observed. The width of attached gingiva was significantly greater in patients treated with apically positioned flap procedure(group II) than in patients on other groups.

The closure of a wide alveolar cleft and fistula in cleft patients and the reconstruction of a maxillary dentoalveolar defect in bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) patients are challenging for both orthodontists and oromaxillofacial surgeons. It is due to the difficulty in achieving complete closure by using local attached gingiva (palatal flap) and the great volume of bone required for the graft. In this article, the authors used bifocal distraction-compression osteosynthesis(BDCO) to create a segment of new alveolar bone and attached gingiva for the complete approximation of a wide alveolar cleft/fistula and the reconstruction of a maxillary dentoalveolar defect. Since the alveoli and gingivae on both ends of the cleft were approximated after BDCO, the need for extensive alveolar bone grafting was eliminated. It also could create new alveolar bone and gingiva for orthodontic tooth movement and implant.

The cell surface glycoprotein CD44 is a kind of adhesion molecule, which binds hyaluronic acid, type I collagen and fibronectin. Although there have been numerous reports on the expression and the function of CD44 in lymphocytes and macrophages, very little is known about its distribution and definite role in epithelial tissue, especially in oral epithelial one. The present study was performed to investigate the distribution and expression of the CD44 in human gingiva and squamous cell carcinoma(SCC) arising in human gingiva. And the authors compared CD44 expression with histopathologic grade of SCC. The results were as follows: 1. The CD44 was strongly expressed in granular, spinous and basal layers of normal marginal and attached gingiva, in spinous and basal layers of normal sulcular gingiva, and in all epithelial layers of normal junctional gingiva. 2. In SCC of gingiva, the CD44 was expressed in all but one case. In most of the cases the CD44 was expressed at cell membrane and the degree of expression was relatively strong. 3. In low-grade SCC of gingiva, the CD44 was strongly expressed, especially at the basal and spinous layers of abundantly keratinized cancer nests. In high-grade SCC of gingiva, the CD44 expression tended to be weak but was strong at cells showing individual keratinization. This study suggest that the CD44 expression of normal and cancerous gingival epithelium is associated with the degree of proliferation and differentiation of epithelial cells.
