Purpose: Frontal sinus fractures are relatively less common than other facial bone fractures. They are commonly concomitant with other facial bone fractures. They can cause severe complications but the optimal treatment of frontal sinus fractures remains controversial. Currently, many principles of treatment were introduced variously. The authors present valid and simplified protocols of treatment for frontal sinus fractures based on fracture pattern, nasofrontal duct injury, and complications. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on 36 cases of frontal sinus fractures between January, 2004 and January, 2009. The average age of patients was 33.7 years. Fracture patterns were classified by displacement of anterior and posterior wall, comminution, nasofrontal duct injury. These fractures were classified in 4 groups: I. anterior wall linear fractures; II. anterior wall displaced fractures; III. anterior wall displaced and posterior wall linear fractures; IV. anterior wall and posterior wall displaced fractures. Also, assessment of nasofrontal duct injury was conducted with preoperative coronal section computed tomographic scan and intraoperative findings. Patients were treated with various procedures including open reduction and internal fixation, obliteration, galeal frontalis flap and cranialization. Results: 12 patients are group I (33.3 percent), 14 patient were group II (38.8 percent), group III, IV were 5 each (13.9 percent). Frontal sinus fractures were commonly associated with zygomatic fractures (21.8 percent). 9 patients had nasofrontal duct injury. The complication rate was 25 percent (9 patients), including hypoesthesia, slight forehead irregularity, transient cerebrospinal fluid leakage. Conclusion: The critical element of successful frontal sinus fracture repair is precise diagnosis of the fracture pattern and nasofrontal duct injury. The main goal of management is the restoration of the sinus function and aesthetic preservation.

When restoring a tooth, the dentist tries to choose the ideal material for existing situation. One criterion that is considered is its suitability for restoring coronal strength. As more tooth structure is removed, the cusps are weakened and susceptible to fracture. Further, this increased deformation may cause the formation of intermittent gaps at the margin between the hard tissue and the restoration, facilitating marginal leakage. The improvements in ceramic materials now make it possible for alternatives to amalgams, composites, and cast metal to be of offered for posterior teeth. Of the materials used, ceramics most closely approximates the properties of enamel. The introduction of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture(CAD/CAM) systems to restorative dentistry represents a major technological breakthrough. It is possible to design and fabricate ceramic restorations at a single appointment. Additionally, CAD/CAM systems eliminate certain errors and inaccuracies that are inherent to the indirect method and provide an esthetic restoration. The aim of this investigation was to study the loading characteristics of CAD/CAM ceramic inlay and to compare the stress distribution and displacement associated with different designs of cavity(the isthmus width and cavity depth). A human maxillary left first premolar was prepared with standard mesio-occlusal cavity preparation, as recommended by the manufacturer Ceramic inlay was fabricated with CEREC 2 CAD/CIM equipment and cemented into the prepared cavity. Three dimensional model was made by the serial photographic method. The cavity width was varied $\frac{1}{3}$, $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$ of intercuspal distance between buccal and lingual cusp tip. The cavity depth was varied 1.5mm and 2.3mm. So six models were constructed to simulate six conditions. A point load of 500N was applied vertically onto the first node of the lingual slope from the buccal cusp tip. The stress distribution and displacement were solved using ANSYS finite element program(Swanson Analysis System). (omitted)

외과적 근관치료에서 근단부의 폐쇄성은 성공에 필수적이다. 그리고 외과적 근관치료시 근단부 역충전와동은 습기나 혈액에 의해 오염되기 쉬우며 와동을 이상적으로 건조하기가 항상 용이하지는 않다. 본 연구의 목적은 미세 치근단 수술법에서 치근단 역충전와동의 건조 방법이 폐쇄성에 미치는 영향을 연구하고자 함이다. 치근단 폐쇄성은 근단 누출 및 충전물-와벽 적합성으로 평가하였다. 치근단 역충전와동 건조방법에 따른 치근단 누출을 평가하기 위해서는 최근에 발거된 상악 대구치 구개측치근 125개를 와동건조 방법 및 혈액오염에 따라 4개의 군으로 분류하여 실험하였다. 각 시편치아에서 근관을 형성하고 측방가압법으로 충전한 후 각 군에 따라 저속 다이아몬드 절단기를 이용하여 치근단 3 mm를 절제하였으며 초음파 스테인레스 스틸 기구를 이용하여 깊이 3mm의 역충전 와동을 형성하고 IRM, Super EBA 또는 복합레진으로 역충전하였다. 시편을 2% methylene blue 용액에 7일간 침잠시킨 후 35% 질산 용액에서 용해시킨 다음, 원심분리한 상층액을 비색계를 이용하여 누출 색소의 흡광도를 측정하였다. 결과치는 이원변량분석법과 Duncan's Multiple Range Test를 이용하여 분석하였다. 역충전 와동 건조방법에 따른 충전물-와벽 적합성을 평가하기 위해서는 상악 제 1대구치의 구개측 치근 12개를 상기와 같이 4개 군으로 분류하여 근관충전, 역충전와동 형성, 와동 건조 및 역충전을 실험하였으며, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 압축공기나 paper point로 와동을 건조한 군이, 역충전 와동을 IRM 간이충전재, Super EBA 시멘트 및 복합레진으로 충전한 경우 공히, cottton pellet 만으로 와동을 건조한 군에 비해 적은 치큰단 누출을 나타내었는데 이는 Super EBA 시멘트 충전군에서만 유의한 차이를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 그러나 충전재료에 관계없이 paper point로 와동을 건조한 군과 압축공기로 건조한 군 사이에는 유의한 누출의 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 2. 압축공기로 와동을 건조한 경우에는, 복합레진으로 충전한 군이 IRM이나 Super EBA로 충전한 군에 비해 유의하게 적은 치근단 누출을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 3. 와동을 혈액으로 오염시킨 경우에는, 역충전 와동을 IRM, Super EBA 및 복합레진으로 충전한 군 공히, 압축공기로 와동내부를 건조한 경우에 비해 유의하게 많은 치큰단 누출을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 4. IRM 간이충전재나 Super EBA 시멘트로 역충전와동을 충전한 경우, 와동측벽의 외측 1/2이 내측 1/2에 비해 넓은 충전물-치질 사이 틈을 나타내었다. 5. IRM 간이충전재, Super EBA 시멘트 및 복합레진으로 역충전와동을 충전한 경우 공히, 와동이 혈액에 의해 오염되었거나 와동을 cotton pellet으로만 건조한 경우가 paper point나 압축공기로 와동을 건조한 경우에 비해 와동기저부에 큰 틈을 나타내는 양상을 보였다.

Intracoronal bleaching is currently disregarded by many clinicians because of the potential consequence of cervical resorption. To prevent this complication it is recommended that intra coronal barrier materials be placed over the root canal obturation and sodium perborate be used with water rather than with hydrogen peroxide. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the amount of the hydrogen peroxide penetration according to the difference in intracanal base materials and sodium perborate preparation. Fifty extracted intact premolars were instrumented, and filled with gutta-percha. And then the outer surface of the teeth was sealed with wax exposing the CEJ. The prepared teeth were placed in plastic tubes containing 1.5ml distilled water with their entire root submerged into the solution, The teeth were divided into the following five groups. In the first two groups gutta-percha was removed without placement of barrier, and then water or superoxole(30% $H_2O_2$) with sodium perborate were used respectively for bleaching. In the other three groups, after removal of gutta-percha, an intracanal isolating barrier(ZPC, IRM, Fuji II LC) was placed and then bleached with sodium perborate and superoxole. The bleaching procedure was performed 4 times with 1 week interval. The results were as follows : 1. All the groups showed a tendency of increasing penetration amount with increasing treatment times(P<0.05). 2. After the 1st and 2nd treatments, there was no significant difference in microleakage among the groups. 3. After the 3rd bleaching with superoxole and sodium perborate, there was no significant difference in microleakage between gutta-percha alone group and gutta-percha with ZPC, Fuji II LC barrier group. But significant difference was found between IRM barrier group and other groups(P<0.01). 4. After the 4th bleaching with superoxole and sodium perborate, there was no significant difference between gutta-percha alone group and gutta-percha with barrier groups. 5. After the 4th treatment, the group bleached with sodium perborate and water without barrier showed lower hydrogen peroxide penetration than that of other groups(P<0.01).
