The origin of fibroblasts, their proliferative activity and roles in the early stages of periodontal regeneration were investigated in order to better understand the periodontal healing process in furcation defects of the beagle dog after guided tissue regeneration. Newly divided cells were identified and quantitated by immunolocalization of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) injected 1 hour prior to sacrificing the animals. The results were as follows :1. During periodontal healing in horizontal furcation defect, three different stages, namely the granulation tissue, connective tissue, and bone formation stages, were identified on the basis of major types of cells and tissue. 2. In the early stages of periodontal regeneration, both the remaining periodontal ligament and alveolar bone compartment were the major sources. 3. The majority of BrdU-labeled fibroblasts were located at the following areas ; 1) the coronal zone of the defect in case of the connective tissue fanned on the root surface. 2) the area within an 400 ${\mu}m$ distance from the remaining bone level in case of the periodontal ligament. 3) the area within an 100 ${\mu}m$ distance from the bone surface in case of areas of active bone formation.4. The highly proliferative fibroblasts adjacent to bone surface played a major role in the formation of osteoblast precursor cells, whereas both paravascular and endosteal cells played a minor role in new bone formation, In conclusion, it was suggested that the fibroblasts in the remaining periodontal ligament and bone will play a major role in periodontal regeneration, whereas both paravascular and endosteal cells will play a minor role in new bone formation.

Procedures for treatment of molar furcation invasion defects range from open flap debridement, apically repositioned flap surgery, hemisection, tunneling or extraction, to regenerative therapies using bone grafting or guided tissue regenerative therapy, or a combination of both. Several clinical evaluations using regenerative techniques have reported the potential for osseous repair of treated furcation invasions. Regenerative treatment of maxillary molars are more difficult due to the multiple root anatomy and multiple furcation entrances therefore, purpose of this study was to evaluated histologically self-curing glass-ionomer cement and light-curing glass-ionomer cement as a barrier in the treatment of a bi-furcated maxillary premolar. Five adult beagle dogs were used in this experiment. With intrasulcular and crestal incision, mucoperiosteal flap was elevated. Following decortication with 1/2 high speed round bur, degree II furcation defect was made on maxillary third(P3), forth(P4) and fifth(P5) premolar. 2 month later experimental group were self-curing glassionomer cement and light-curing glassionomer cement. After 4, 8 weeks, the animals were sacrificed by vascular perfusion. Tissue block was excised including the tooth and prepared for light microscope with Gomori's trichrome staining. Results were as follows. 1. In all experiment group, there were not epithelial down growth and glass ionomer cement were encapsulated connective tissue. 2. In 4 weeks experiment I group slighly infiltrated inflammatory cells but not disturb the new bone or new cementum formation. 3. In 8 weeks, experiment groups I, II were encapsulated fine connective tissue. 4. Therefore glass-ionomer cement filling to the grade III maxillary furcations with multiple root anatomy and multiple furcation entrances were possible clinical methods and this technique is useful method for Maxillary furcation involvement.

Purpose: One of the main objectives of periodontal reconstructive surgery is the coverage of exposed roots that occur due to gingival recession. and Aestheic concerns are usually the reason to perform root coverage procedure. This case report was performed to evaluate the effect of root coverage using subepithelial connective tissue graft(SCTG) on Miller's Class I marginal tissue recession. Materials and Methods: One patient, with two Miller's class I marginal tissue recession on both maxiallay canines, was treated with root coverage using SCTG (modified Nelson's technique). At baseline, the following measurements were recorded: 1) recession depth; 2) width of keratinized giniga. At 9, 10 months post-surgery, all clinical measurements were repeated. Result: 1) The mean root coverage from baseline to 9, 10 months post-surgery was 92.3%. 2) The mean recession depth decreased from 6.5 mm to 0.5 mm. 3) The mean width of keratinized gingiva increased from 1.25 mm to 3.5 mm. Conclusion: Within the above results, root coverage using SCTG is an effective procedure to cover Miller's class I marginal tissue recession defect. Also, patient with aesthetic concern could be satisfied with this result.

Periodontal tissue destroyed by inflammation is difficult to achieve regeneration of the tissue and esthetic restorations only by surgical methods. In particular, improvement of esthetics is more difficult if the problem is related to the implant. A 23 year old woman suffered from unesthetic anterior implant prosthesis. According to her dental history, a repeated bone graft and soft tissue graft failed at a local dental clinic. It was needed to resolve the inflammation and to improve the esthetics. A free gingival graft and ridge augmentation accompanied by guided bone regeneration and a vascularized interpositional periosteal connective tissue graft was performed. Instead of implant prosthesis, a conventional fixed bridge was adopted for better esthetic result. The patient was satisfied with the esthetic conventional fixed prosthesis. This case report introduces esthetic rehabilitation of unesthetic implant prosthetics in the maxillary anterior dentition by a combination of surgical and prosthetic approaches.

The preservation of a healthy periodontal attachment is the most significant factor in the long-term prognosis of a restored tooth. The 'Biologic Width' is composed of the connective tissue attachment and the epithelial attachment in the dentogingival junction. The violation of the biologic width may result in a progressive inflammatory process and crestal bone loss. So a careful soft tissue management is needed to preserve it for the gingival health and an esthetic restoration. The following clinical cases show the five different situations of the violation of the biologic width and their management.

Grossly, the liver exhibits marked cirrhotic changes characteristics of the pre-transformation phase of WHV. Microscopically, focal hepatocyte necrosis and inflammatory cells were observed in midzonal and periportal areas. Bridging portal fibrosis produced pseudolobulation due to entrapment of hyperplastic hepatocytes. Biliary hyperplasia, ductal cell proliferation, and increased amounts of fibrous connective tissue expanded portal areas and extended into periportal areas. Myofibroblasts stained positive for -SMA were detected in proliferating fibrotic tissue and sinusoids.
