The autogenous tooth transplantation is an alternative treatment replacing a missing tooth when a suitable donor tooth is available. It is also a successful treatment option to save significant amount of time and cost comparing implants or conventional prosthetics. These cases, which required single tooth extraction due to deep caries and severe periodontal disease, could have good results by transplanting non-functional but sound donor tooth to the extraction site.

Closure of interdental spaces using proximal build-ups with resin composite is considered to be practical and conservative. However, a comprehensive approach combining two or more treatment modalities may be needed to improve esthetics. This case report describes the management of a patient with multiple diastemas, a peg-shaped lateral incisor and midline deviation in the maxillary anterior area. Direct resin bonding along with orthodontic movement of teeth allows space closure and midline correction, consequently, creating a better esthetic result.

Background and Objectives : Traditionally incision and drainage is considered to be standard treatment of deep neck infection. But antibiotics and diagnostic technique are developed recently, there are reports that conservative therapy could be as successful as open surgical drainage. The purposes of this study has been to assess clinical feature between surgical therapy group and conservative therapy group through statistical analysis. Materials and Methods : A retrospective study was performed on 46 cases of deep neck space abscess, which were confirmed CT, in patients admitted from January 1999 to June 2002. Result : About 80% of all are treated with conservative therapy. Erythrocyte sediment rate, volume of abscess and duration of hospitalization of conservative therapy group are decreased than those of surgical therapy group. Conclusions : Conservative therapy is expected to be effective on treatment of early stage, small sized deep neck infection. But its complication can lead to serious condition of patient it should be done under meticulous observation.

It is often presumed that apical periodontitis follows total pulp necrosis, and consequently root canal treatment is commonly performed. Periapical lesion development is usually caused by bacteria and its byproduct which irritate pulp, develop pulpitis, and result in necrosis through an irreversible process. Afterwards, apical periodontitis occurs. This phenomenon is observed as an apical radiolucency in radiographic view. However, this unusual case presents a spontaneous healing of periapical lesion, which has developed without pulp necrosis in a vital tooth, through conservative treatment.

Background : This study was conducted to know the effect of resistance exercise using thera-band in parallel with conservative therapy in patients with frozen shoulder. Methods : We analyze subjective pain scale, ROM and shoulder functional scale 24 patients diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis were included for study. Among them, 12 patients(experiment group) were managed by resistance exercise as well as conservative physical therapy, another 12 patients(control group) were only treated by conservative therapy alone. All the patients were treated three times a week for 4 weeks, and after, and after each treatment subjective pain scale, ROM, shoulder functional score(SFI) were measured. Results : The VAS were significant reduced between experimental group and control group according to pre-treatment and post-treatment. In experimental group, the ROM and SFI has increased than control group according to pre-treatment and post-treatment. Conclusion : According to the results, we concluded that both conservative therapy and self resistance exercise using thera-band technique are more effective for increasing ROM especially flexion, abduction, internal rotation and SFI than conservative therapy alone.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe the effects of conservative treatment intervention for individual with scoliosis. Methods: Studies were selected through a search of computerized databases of the literature (KERIS, 2000-2010) using "early detection", "conservative treatment", "exercise", "physical therapy", "manipulation", "chiropractic", "therapy", "taping" and "orthosis" as keywords. Selected articles were classified by research design and statistical methods. Results: Application of the search strategy to the KERIS databases resulted in 132 articles. Based on titles and abstracts, 17 studies were selected, excluding articles of overlapping study, surgery, pharmacologic therapy and no correcting aim under conservative treatment. Among the 17 selected studies, the majorityof study design consisted of one group pretest-posttest design and additionally most of these studies were paired (or independent) t-test. The most frequently used intervention was exercise therapy. Conclusion: All articles showed that interventions were effective. Thus, early detection of scoliosis may be connected participation of early conservative treatment. It is important to reduce prevalence of scoliosis in adolescents using regular evaluation as an effective measure.

Objectives : The Purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical application of conservative treatment for femoral neck stress fracture developed in avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Methods : Patient is hospitalized at Dept. of Oriental Rehabilitation Medicine, Bu-Chun Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital, diagnosed as femoral neck stress fracture developed in avascular necrosis of the femoral head and treated by herbal medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion. This study was measured by Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) score, range of motion and walking time. Results : After conservative treatment, the patient's pain was controlled and VAS score was decreased. Range of motion and walking time were improved. Conclusions : As seen in this one case, Oriental conservative treatment has a positive effect to control pain with femoral neck stress fracture developed in avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
