Purpose: The nasal bones are the most common fracture sites of the facial bones, and a careful reduction may still result in secondary deformities, such as saddle nose, deviated nose, hump nose etc, requiring secondary cosmetic rhinoplasty. Therefore, this study examined the clinical characteristics of nasal bone fractures to propose guidelines for patient selection and surgical procedures to achieve more satisfactory results and to prevent secondary deformities with simultaneous augmentation rhinoplasty and bony reduction. Methods: The study was based on 26 out of 149 nasal bone fracture patients who underwent simultaneous augmentation rhinoplasty with bony reduction between May 2008 and April 2009. Retrospective analysis was performed according to the clinical data, surgical techniques and postoperative results. Results: Of the 26 patients, there were 15 males and 11 females. The incidence according to the Stranc's classification revealed that 62% of patients were injured by a frontal impact and 38% by a lateral impact. Frontal impact plane I (50%) was the most frequent type. At the follow up, 18 (81.2%) out of 22 patients were satisfied with their postoperative outcome, and the remaining 4 patients were fair. No one was dissatisfied. However, 5 cases in 3 patients (23%) had some complications; minimal implant deviation in 2 cases, minor irregularity on the nasal dorsum in 2 cases and palpable implant movement under palpation in 1 case. None of these cases required surgical correction. Conclusion: With the proper guidance, simultaneous augmentation rhinoplasty with bony reduction can prevent secondary deformities and satisfy the cosmetic outcomes.

Purpose: Anterior ridge defect after tooth extraction results in unfavorable appearance. Ridge augmentation procedures should be preceded by careful surgical-prosthetic treatment planning, and various techniques can be used in anterior ridge augmentation. Materials and Methods: Three patients showed deformed ridges after tooth extraction. Three different techniques ; onlay-interpositional connective tissue graft; bovine hydroxyapatite graft with free connective tissue graft; bovine hydroxyapatite graft with resorbable collagen membrane following free connective tissue graft; were used for anterior ridge augmentation. Result: Soft tissue graft can be used in small amount of ridge defect, hard tissue graft combined with soft tissue graft can be used in large amount of ridge defect. After ridge augmentation, about three months of healing period, augmented tissue was stabilized. The final restoration was initiated after this healing period, and the tissue form was maintained stable. Conclusion: Careful diagnosis and surgical-prosthetic treatment planning with joint consultation prior to surgery should be performed in order to attain an optimal esthetic results.

Purpose: Predicting the change in breast size for a specific patient's need is a challenging problem in breast augmentation. We intended to investigate the postaugmentation degree of breast size according to the size of cohesive silicone gel implant. Methods: To predict post-augmentation breast size, we measured 100 patients' pre-and postoperative 3 month's bust circumference. All patients were performed by total subfascial breast augmentation with moderate profile cohesive silicone gel implant through areolar omega (transareolar-perinipple) incision. Results: According to this study, each additional one pair of 100 mL in implant size yielded an approximate 1.5 cm increase in bust circumference (p=0.006). Conclusion: From this result, we conclude that each additional one pair of 100 mL in implant volume yielded about 1.5 cm increase in bust circumference. Although this result may not be applied to every patient, we believe that it yields a practical chart that can help to predict the amount of increase in breast size with the use of cohesive silicone gel implant of a specific size preoperatively.

본 연구에서는 비등열전달 과정동안, 초음파 진동이 열전달 과정에 미치는 영향에 관하여 실험적으로 조사해 보았다. 실험은 등온가열조건하에서, 40kHz의 초음파 진동을 가진한 경우와 가진하지 않은 경우로 나누어 비등과정동안의 온도분포를 측정하였고, 대류상태와 과냉상태 그리고 포화상태에서의 열전달계수를 측정하여 열전달 향상율을 비교하여 보았다. 또한, 하이드로폰을 이용하여 초음파 가진시 매질내에 발생하는 음압분포를 측정하고 열전달 향상율과 비교하여 보았다. 실험결과, 비등열전달 과정에 초음파 진동을 가진한 경우, 가진하지 않은 경우와 비교하였을 때 열전달계수가 높게 나타나는 것을 확인하였으며, 특히 대류상태에서 열전달계수가 급격하게 증가하였다. 또한, 초음파 진동의 가진으로 인해 형성되는 음압은 진동자가 부착된 지점에서 주위보다 상대적으로 높게 형성되는 것을 실험적으로 확인하였으며, 초음파 진동으로 인해 형성된 높은 음압이 열전달 향상율에 영향을 미치는 원인의 하나로 작용하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 결국, 초음파 진동에 의해 매질내에 발생하는 음압은 열전달 향상과 밀접한 관련이 있다고 사료된다.

Dental implant has become one of the important option for completely or partially edentulous patients, But it is challenging to reconstruct the severely atrophic ridge. Insufficient bone volume could restrict to place the wide and long implant and because of excessive interocclusal clearance, improper prosthetics could be produced. In this case bone augmentation for implant dentistry is necessary procedure to improve the insufficient bone volume. Therefore, bone augmentation or GBR is the most important procedure for successful implant placement and for ideal crown- root ratio. There are various bone augmentation techniques have been introduced recently; like block bone graft, distraction osteogenesis, inlay graft, onlay graft, etc.... In severe bucco-lingual resorption area, ridge splitting is the first choice of the treatment, because it provides a place for implantation and also has compaction effect. This technique may be indicated for sharp mandible and maxillary ridges in patients whose bone quantity is inadequate for primary stabilization. We report that the clinical experience of bone augmentation using ridge splitting technique in bucco-lingual bone resorption area.

측두근막은 비변형의 교정에 다양하게 이용될 수 있으며, 융비술에 단일 또는 복합 이식재로 사용될 수 있다. 측두근막 이식은 공여부가 눈에 띄지 않을 뿐만 아니라 코를 적절히 피개하고 외형을 좋게 하며 크기를 증대시켜 준다. 한편 비근부의 증대를 통해 코를 높이는 것은 물론 길이를 길게 할 수 있으며 넓은 내안각 사이의 외형을 개선해 줄 수 있다. 우리는 하악전돌증을 주소로 악교정수술을 받기 위해 내원한 2예의 남자 환자에서 계획된 악교정수술과 더불어 함몰된 비근부에 대하여 측두근막을 이용한 비근증대술을 시행하였다. 수술 후 치열안면변형의 해소는 물론 더욱 부드럽고 자연스럽게 개선된 안모를 관찰할 수 있었다. 환자의 측모도 더욱 개선되어 비근부가 높아졌을 뿐만 아니라 코의 길이가 길어진 효과도 얻을 수 있었다. 수술 후 비근부에서 주목할 만한 흡수 또는 변위 소견은 관찰되지 않았다. 함몰된 비근부에 대한 측두근막 이식을 이용한 비근증대술은 술식이 간단하면서도 비근부가 증대되고 코의 길이가 증가되는 적절한 수술방법임을 알 수 있었다.

We report a case of pedicle screw loosening treated by modified transpedicular screw augmentation technique using polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA), which used the anchoring effect of hardened PMMA. A 56-year-old man who had an L3/4/5 fusion operation 3 years ago complained of continuous low back pain after this operation. The computerized tomography showed a radiolucent halo around the pedicle screw at L5. We augmented the L5 pedicle screw with modified pedicle screw augmentation technique using PMMA and performed an L3/4/5 pedicle screw fixation without hook or operation field extension. This modified technique is a kind of transpedicular stiffness augmentation using PMMA for the dead space around the loosed screw. After filling the dead space with 1-2 cc of PMMA, we inserted a small screw. Once the PMMA hardened, we removed the small screw and inserted a thicker screw along the existing screw threading to improve the pedicle screws' pullout strength. At 10 months' follow-up, x-ray showed strong fusion of L3/4/5. The visual analogue scale (VAS) of his back pain was improved from 9 to 5. This modified transpedicular screw augmentation with PMMA using anchoring effect is a Simple and effective surgical technique for pedicle screw loosening. However, clinical analyses of long-term follow-up and biomechanical studies are needed.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a composite of bone substitute and collagen barrier membrane (bone patch) for local ridge augmentation at peri-implant dehiscence defects on the clinical efficacy and positional stability in dogs. Materials and methods : Implant placement and ridge augmentation procedure were performed at surgically created peri-implant dehiscence defects in canine mandible (n=6). Four treatment modalities were randomly applied: i) bone patch group, ii) Guided bone regeneration (GBR) without pin fixation group (bone graft and collagen membrane), iii) GBR with pin fixation group, and iv) negative control group. After 12 weeks, clinical, micro-CT and histological analyses were performed. Results : Histologic analysis showed that bone patch group had similar results to GBR group and GBR with fixation group in terms of new bone formation. Micro-CT analysis revealed similar results to histologic analysis in terms of total volume maintenance. Operating time was shorter in bone patch group compared to GBR group and GBR with fixation groups. Conclusions : GBR using bone patch could simplify the ridge augmentation procedure with reduced operating time and equivalent biological performance compared to the conventional procedure.

Introduction: This study examined the predictability of new bone formation in the pneumatized maxillary sinus using only fibrin-rich blocks with concentrated growth factors as an alternative to bone grafts. Materials and Methods: Maxillary sinus augmentation was performed in thirty-three patients with a deficient alveolar bone height (mean 3.9 mm). All patients were treated consecutively with sinus membrane elevation via the lateral window approach and panoramic radiograms and cone-beam computed tomograms were taken to evaluate the remaining bone height and the new bone formation in the maxillary sinus, before and after surgery. Four biopsy specimens were taken at the time of implant consolidation (after an average of five months healing) and were stained by H & E and Trichrome staining. Results: None of the patients had postoperative complications during implant consolidation. After an average of 5 months since sinus augmentation, newly formed bone was observed in all cases by a radiographic evaluation. In 4 biopsy samples, newly formed bone was observed along the floor of the replaced bony window. The osteoblast lining and well distinguished Osteocytes in the lacunas were observed in the newly formed bone. Of the 74 implants (4 different surfaced implants - resorbable blast media-surfaced (RBM), Hydroxyapatite (HA) coated, acid-etched, sintered porous-surfaced implant) placed, one RBM implant failed. The success rate was 98.6% after a mean of 15 months. Discussion: These results suggest that maxillary sinus augmentation using fibrin rich block with concentrated growth factors is a successful and predictable technique.
