Dental extraction is potentially stress-inducing in many disabled patient. The body's response to dental stress involves the cardiovascular system(an increase in cardiovascular workload), the respiratory organ and the endocrine system(change in metabolism). To minimize the stress, the stress reduction method was established. The obtained contents were as follows: (1) Recognize the patient's degree of medical risk, (2) Complete medical consultation before dental therapy, (3) Schedule the patient's appointment in the morning, (4) Monitor and record preoperative and postoperative vital signs, (5) Use psychosedation during therapy, (6) Use adequate pain control during therapy, (7) Short length of appointment : do not exceed the patient's limits of tolerance, (8) Follow up with postoperative pain/anxiety control, (9) Telephone the risk patient later on the same day that treatment was given. Though the stress reduction method above was applied to the dental extraction in disabled patients with the advanced infected teeth, the complications(syncope, shock, bleeding & infection, etc.) may be occurred. For prevention of complications associated with the extraction, the authors treated the advanced infected teeth with endodontic drainage and incision & drainage before extraction. The final extraction and wound closure were then done after about 3 weeks.

Retrobulbar abscess is a rare, but severe complication of paranasal sinusitis. The clinical presentations are eyelid swelling, erythema, proptosis, conjunctival chemosis, restricted ocular movement, and decreased visual acuity. Diagnostic methods available for evaluating retrobulbar abscess include sinus X-ray, ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and bacterial culture. For the treatment of retrobulbar abscess, immediate surgical drainage and systemic antibiotic therapy are needed. Proper diagnosis and treatments are necessary for preventing visual loss, cavernous sinus thrombosis, subdural abscess, and other lifethreatening complications. A patient, a 30-year-old man, was admitted to our hospital because of progressive eyelid swelling, erythema, ptosis and decreased visual acuity on the right eye after endodontic treatment. The sinusitis occurred secondary to the infection from an upper molar tooth. The spread of the infection led to the orbit via ethmoidal sinus and posterior orbital wall. Immediate surgical intervention was performed and systemic antibiotics was administrated. The symptoms and signs are improved after treatments, so we present our case with a brief review of the literature.

차아염소산나트륨은 근관 세척 시 널리 쓰이는 약제이다. 근관계의 멸균에는 효과적이나, 부작용에 대해서는 알려진 바가 많지 않으며 특히 유치에서 근관세척제로 사용 시 부작용에 대한 보고는 거의 없었다. 본 증례는 차아염소산나트륨이 유치의 치근단을 통과하였을 때 심각한 부작용을 일으킬 수 있음을 보여준다. 만 4세 여아가 치과의원에서 차아염소산나트륨을 이용한 상악 유중절치의 재근관 치료 중 급격한 안면 부종과 통증으로 본원 응급실로 의뢰되었다. 전신적 스테로이드제, 항히스타민제, 항생제 및 진통제를 투여하고, 해당 치아는 2차 감염 예방을 위해 발거하였다. 2일 후 부종이 감소하기 시작하였다. 차아염소산나트륨에 대한 알레르기 반응 검사 결과 음성을 나타내었다. 유치의 근관 세척 시에는 차아염소산나트륨이 치주조직으로 압출되지 않도록 철저히 주의해야 하며, 부작용이 일어날 경우 통증 및 부종 완화와 약물 치료가 필요하다.

소아의 구강 악안면 부위의 감염은 부비동, 근막간극, 타액선, 악골, 치아 등의 다양한 해부학적 구조물과 연관되어 발생하며 적절히 치료되지 않는다면 짧은 시간 내에 치명적인 상태로 진행될 수 있어 조기 진단 및 치료가 요구된다. 원인은 다양하지만 대부분이 치성 원인으로서, 괴사된 치수로 인한 치근단 병소, 화농성 치주질환, 치관주위 감염 등으로부터 유래된다. 소아의 치성 감염은 치아우식증이 원인인 경우가 대부분이며 병원성 균이 치수를 통해 인접 조직으로 확산되어 치근단 감염 및 농양, 봉와직염, 골수염, Ludwig's angina, toxic shock syndrome 등의 질환을 유발한다고 알려져 있다. 근막간극이란 느슨한 결체조직으로 채워진 근층 사이에 존재하는 잠재적인 공간으로 일반적인 근막간극 농양의 진행과정은 괴사 치수 염증이 치조 농양 형태로 치근 주위로 퍼지고 점차 근막을 침투해 피질골을 통해 잠재적 간극을 이환시킨다. 구강 악안면 부위의 감염이 연조직으로 침투할 경우, 결체조직을 통하여 그리고 근막간극을 따라 가장 조직 저항이 적은 방향으로 확산된다. 이러한 감염은 치아발치, 근관치료, 배농을 포함한 외과적 치료, 항생제 투여 등에 의해 적절히 치료될 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 치성 원인의 견치 간극 농양 및 협부 간극 농양에 이환된 환자들에 대하여 항생제 투여 및 근관치료, 외과적 배농 등을 시행하여 양호한 치료 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

Background: Intravenous bisphosphonates have been used in metastatic breast cancer patients to reduce pathologic bone fracture and bone pain. However, necrosis of the jaw has been reported in those who received intravenous bisphosphonates. Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is caused by dental extraction, dental implant surgery, and denture wearing; however, it occurs spontaneously. The purpose of this study was to report BRONJ in metastatic breast cancer patients. Methods: Consecutive 25 female patients were referred from the Department of Oncology from 2008 to 2014 for jaw bone discomfort. Staging of breast cancer, history of bisphosphonate infusion, etiology of BRONJ, and treatment results were reviewed. Average age of the patients was 55.4 years old (38-74). Twelve maxillae and 16 mandibles were involved. Conservative treatments such as irrigation, antibiotic medication, analgesics, and oral gargle were applied for all patients for the initial treatment. Patients who had sequestrum underwent debridement and primary closure. Results: The etiologies of BRONJ were dental extraction (19 cases), dental implant (2 cases), and endodontic treatment (1 case). However, three patients did not have any risk factors to cause BRONJ. Three patients died of progression of metastasis during follow-up periods. Surgical debridement was performed in 21 patients with success in 18 patients. Three patients showed recurred bone exposure and infection after operation. Conclusions: Prevention of the BRONJ is critical in metastatic breast cancer patients. Conservative treatment to reduce pain, discomfort, and infection is recommended for the initial therapy. However, if there is a sequestrum, surgical debridement and primary closure is the key to treat the BRONJ.

In the presence of acute pericoronitis of mandilbular third molar, antibiotic therapy and early incision and drainage are the method of choice, followed by definitive surgical extraction of the tooth as soon as it becomes subacute. If excision of the overlying tissues is decided on, it should be done adequately. All overlying tissues must be throughly excised, and the crown portion of the unerupted tooth should be completely exposed. After excision has been completed, the wound should be managed with a surgical dressing. This should be allowed to remain approximately 7 days. And then, surgical extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar can be done usually. In this operation, there are many complications, such as, postoperative bleeding, infection, trismus, dysphasia and paresthesia. The surgeon are discredited and medicolegal problem may be occurred in the presence of many distressed complications. Therefore, the relatively nonsurgical treatment is the method of choice. So, authors selected the conservative treatment methods of incision and drainage, primary endodontic drainage, operculectomy without surgical extraction of the mandibular third molars. The results were more favorable without the postoperative complication in Wonju old offender prison.

Elimination of the smear layer and bacteria in the root canal is the most important in the endodontic treatment, and various irrigation devices have been developed. Nevertheless, it is hard to eliminate the smear layer and bacteria completely. In this paper, a micro bubble irrigation system has been developed for the root canal cleaning of tooth. Micro bubbles are generated when pressurized fluids passing through a porous material inside a hand-piece nozzle, and the bubbly flows excited by ultrasonic vibration are observed using a high-speed camera and a microscope. The results show that the diameter and number of bubbles increases with the applied pressure, and there found an optimum excitation frequency in order to minimize the bubble size. From in-vitro tests, it is also verified that the developed bubble irrigation system has the ability of antibacterial and infection removal. Thus, this biocompatible system would be well suited for root canal cleaning.
