Calcific tendinitis is the leading cause of shoulder pain. Among patients with calcific tendinitis, 2.7%-20% are asymptomatic, and 35%-45% of patients whose calcific deposits are inadvertently discovered develop shoulder pain. If symptoms are present, complications such as decreased range of motion of the shoulder joint should be minimized while managing pain. Patients with acute calcific tendinitis respond well to conservative treatment and rarely require surgery. In contrast, patients with chronic calcific tendinitis often do not respond to conservative treatment and do require surgery. Clinical improvement takes time, even after surgical treatment. This review article summarizes the processes related to the diagnosis and treatment of calcific tendinitis with the aim of helping clinicians choose appropriate treatment options for their patients.

Ameloblastoma treatment varies based on the clinical, histopathologic, and radiographic characteristics. Aggressive surgical treatments, such as marginal or segmental resection, have traditionally been implemented, but some conservative surgical methods are also being introduced, including decompression, enucleation, or curettage. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possibility of applying these conservative surgical treatments to ameloblastoma and to analyze the prognosis of the procedures and their healing aspects. Among all patients who visited our clinic (Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Kyung Hee University Dental Hospital at Gangdong) from 2009 to 2017, three who had undergone conservative surgery were recruited. One of these three patients underwent both excision of the lesion and an iliac bone graft during the same procedure. In the other two patients, due to the size of the lesion, decompression was performed to reduce the size of the lesion, and then conservative surgical treatments followed. As shown in the cases of this study, patients were only treated with conservative surgical methods, such as decompression or enucleation. During the follow-up period, there were no recurrences. In conclusion, the use of conservative surgical treatment in ameloblastoma can be a reliable, safe, and successful method.

Objectives : The Purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical application of conservative treatment including quadratus lumborum MST for lumbar HIVD(Herniated Intervertebral Disc) with sacralization. Methods : We used acupunture, herbal acupuncture, herbal medicine, Quadratus Lumborum MST for this patient. This patient received hospital treatment for 25 days. Results : After conservative treatment, the patient's pain was controlled and NRS score was decreased. ODI and ROM also were improved. Conclusions : Oriental conservative treatment including quadratus lumborum MST has a positive effect to control pain of lumbar HIVD(Herniated Intervertebral Disc) with sacralization.

Objectives: The propose of this study is to find out the clinical application of conservative treatment to 3 patients who has Disc Extrusion on L-spine MRI Methods: We examined 3 patients with Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Herniation (HIVD of L-spine) with Disc Extrusion who showed changes on MRI images before/after the treatment among HIVD of L-spine patients who visited Jaseng Hospital of Oriental Medicine. Results: In this study, the first MRI examination of HIVD of L-spine patients was performed at the first visit and re-examination of MRI was done after the treatment. In each case, the size of the extruded disc was considerably reduced in MRI image. Low back and leg pain was also reduced significantly after conervative oriental medical treatment. Conclusions: Conservative oriental medical treatment can be effective for improving symptoms of HIVD, decreasing pain, also decreasing the volume of herniated disc.

Fusion and gemination are developmental anomalies of teeth that may require endodontic treatment. Fusion may cause various clinical problems related to esthetics, tooth spacing, and other periodontal complications. Additional diagnostic tools are required for the diagnosis and the treatment planning of fused tooth. The present case report describes a case of unilateral fusion of a supernumerary root to an upper permanent central incisor with large periapical lesion in which a conservative approach was used without extraction of supernumerary tooth and obturated with mineral trioxide aggregate to reach a favorable outcome.

Introduction: Ameloblastoma is a benign but locally invasive tumor with a high recurrence rate. The aim of this study was to make an easier diagnosis and treatment planning of ameloblastoma. Materials and Methods: From January 1993 to October 2009, 139 cases from 123 patients, who had been diagnosed with ameloblastoma through radiologic and biopsy in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery of Kyunpook National University, were selected as the subjects in this study. According to the medical charts, 9 factors (age, gender, location, chief complaints, duration, radiographic findings, size and recurrence) concerned in deciding the treatment method and the relevance between each factor and the treatment methods were examined.(Conservative treatments were marsu-pialization, enucleation, curettage and lateral decortication. Radical treatments included block excision, resection and hemisection) Results: In the patients under the age of 20, 77.14% had conservative treatments, whereas 22.86% underwent radical treatments. In the patients over the age of 20, 44.23% were treated conservatively treatments, and 55.77% underwent radical treatments. For unilocular types, 28.57% had conservative treatments, whereas 71.43% had radical treatments. For the multilocular types, 66.67% underwent conservative treatments, and 33.33% had radical treatments. For the primary cases, 58.68% were treated conservatively and 41.32% had radical treatments. For the recurrent cases, 16.67% and 83.33% underwent conservative and radical treatments, respectively. Conclusion: There was statistical significance in the factors affecting the treatment methods, such as age, radiographic findings and recurrence.

고정성 교정치료 중 치아의 협면의 치경부 탈회가 종종 발생한다. 이번 증례보고에서는 교정치료 중 발생한 치아의 치경부 탈회를 직접 레진 비니어 수복을 통해 치료한 2가지 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 우식이 없는 초기 병변은 주기적인 불소도포, 식이조절, 구강위생 개선을 통해 재광화될 수 있으나 점차 진행됨에 따라 적절한 수복치료가 필요하며 병소 발생 후의 치료보다 예방에 중점을 두는 것이 더욱 바람직하다.

The occlusal disharmonies resulted from labially protruded or malpositioned teeth can damage the periodontium and induce the non-inflammatory gingival recession. For these cases, a conservative approach was performed by improving oral hygiene and correcting the axial and positional status of the gingivally recessed teeth and removing the prematurely contacted areas. In some cases, rapid remission of tooth mobility and gradual decrease of gingival recession was observed just after start of treatment. In cases of gingival recession in permanent lower incisors of the children with mixed dentition, the treatment of choice is non-surgical conservative approaches. In cases when the gingival inflammation can be controlled through reinforcing the oral hygiene, when attached gingiva have a potential to increase in width through growth (not more than 1 year after eruption or not yet arrived at adult level), and when the recession can be corrected by moving the teeth from labial cortical plate through orthodontic treatment, the conservative measures would be the first choice. On the contrary, when recession has exceeded beyond the level of CEJ, when the gingival inflammation existed with the cause of poor oral hygiene, when the attached gingiva have little potential to increase (for example, more than 8 years after eruption), and when the conservative measures yielded no benefit after 4-8 weeks of treatment, the surgical approaches should be sought.
