Among the permanent teeth. the first permanent molars play the greatest role in occlusion and function. So, the congenital missing, abnormal reuption or abnormal formation of the first permanent molars in the course of arch development would inflict normal development of dental arches. Therefore, early detection of abnormal cases related to first permanent molars and understanding of current and predictable clinical problems are essential for proper occlusal guidance in children. With the aim of investigating the clinical patterns of delayed eruption of first permanent molars in children, panoramic tomograms of the childern in mixed and early permanent dentition were observed and analyzed. The results were as follows: 1. Among the delayed eruption of first permanent molars, on tooth or bilateral teeths were affected most frequently. Delayed eruption was more prevalent in maxilla than in mandible. 2. The formation of tardily erupted teeth were also delayed. 3. Delayed eruption was generally limited in first molars or molar segments. 4. Delayed eruption of first permanent molars is accompanied by abnormal position of tooth germs, for example, ectopic eruption, delayed dental age, delayed localized tooth formation and generalized congenital missing. 5. There was a tendency of delayed formation or congenital missing of second molars distal to tardily erupted 1st molars. And that was more marked in maxilla than in mandible. 6. There was reported that affected 1st molars show various size and shapes. Maxillary 1st molars showing delayed eruption showed a tendency of having 3 cusps. But, tardily erupted mandibular 1st molars showed no significant reduction in mesiodistal dimension, as reported. 7. In some cases, the delayed eruption of 1st permanent molars was associated with ectopic eruption, but their formation was not usually retarded. 8. In skeletal class III cases, there showed a tendency of mandibular 1st molars to erupt earlier than maxillary 1st molars with greater interval than in normal occlusion.

With a prevalence rate of 0.01%, the presence of eruption disturbances of mandibular first molar has rarely been in populations. Eruption disturbances of permanent molars have been usually manifested as impaction, primary retention, and secondary retention. The treatments of eruption disturbances are carried out by: periodic observation; surgical exposure; forced eruption after surgical exposure; forced eruption with luxation; surgical repositioning; and extraction. This case report show successfully erupted mandibular first molars by various treatment methods on five patients diagnosed with impaction, primary retention, and secondary retention, respectively. Eruption disturbances of the mandibular first molar can be properly diagnosed with impaction, primary retention, and secondary retention by clinical and radiographic examination at normal eruption time of the mandibular first molar. The treatment should be done synthetically, considering eruption state of affected tooth, the relationship between the affected tooth and the adjacent or opposite tooth, the patient's age, treatment compliance, and economic state.

The relationship between occlusion and periodontal health has been extensively studied. However, reports on the effects of passive eruption using occlusal reduction has not been sufficient. The purpose of the present randomized clinical trial was to assess the influence of passive eruption using occlusal reduction on the clinical periodontal parameters consisting of attachment level, pocket depth, tooth mobility, width of keratinized gingiva and osseous defect. The study was performed on 40 teeth of 16 subjects who have been treated for the moderate periodontitis at the Department of Periodontology, Pusan National University Hospital. At the baseline examination, after hygienic-phase and after 6 month from passive eruption using occlusal reduction, clinical parameters were monitored and radiographs were taken. The 20 teeth in the test group received passive eruption using occlusal reduction while the 20 control teeth did not receive any occlusal reduction. The results were as follows; 1) Degree of inflammation of periodontium was improved by initial therapy 2) Teeth received passive eruption using occlusal reduction demonstrated significantly greater reduction in pocket depth, tooth mobility and amount of bone loss, and increase in the width of keratinized gingiva, but no significant changes in the attachment level compared to the control teeth 3) There was significantly greater reduction in pocket depth, mobility, amount of bone loss and attachment level in the test teeth after initial hygienic phase when compared with baseline data. Taken together, these results suggest that the passive eruption using occlusal reduction would be helpful to improve periodontal health.

Dangsanbong volcano, which is located on the coast of the western promontory of Cheju Island, occurs in such a regular pattern on the sequences which represent an excellent example of an eruptive cycle. The volcano comprises a horseshoe-shaped tuff cone and a younger nested cinder cone on the crater floor, which are overlain by a lava cap at the top of the cinder cone, and wide lava plateau in the moat between two cones and in the northern part. The volcanic sequences suggest volcanic processes that start with Surtseyan eruption, progress through Strombolian eruption and end with Hawaiian eruption, and then are followed by rock fall from sea cliff of the tuff cone and by air fall from another crater. It is thought that the eruptive environments of the tuff cone could be mainly emergent because the present cone is located on the coast, and standing body of sea water could play a great role. It is thought that the now emergent part of the tuff cone was costructed subaerially because there is no evidence of marine reworking. The emergent tuff cone is characterized by distinctive steam-explosivity that results primarily from a bulk interaction between rapidly ascending magma and external water. The sea water gets into the vent by flooding accross or through the top or breach of northern tephra cone. Dangsanbong tuff cone was constructed from Surtseyan eruption which went into with tephra finger jetting explosion in the early stage, late interspersed with continuous upruch activities, and from ultra-Surtseyan jetting explosions producting base surges in the last. When the enclosure of the vent by a long-lived tephra barrier would prevent the flooding and thus allow the vent to dry out, the phreatomagmatic activities ceased to transmit into magmatic activity of Strombolian eruption, which constructed a cinder cone on the crater floor of the tuff cone Strombolian eruption ceased when magma in the conduit gradually became depleted in gas. In the Dangsanbong volcano, the last magmatic activity was Hawaiian eruption which went into with foundation and effusion of basalt lava.

Volcanostratigraphy in Ulleung Island is divided into 4 stratigraphic groups: Dodong Basaltic Rocks, Ulleung Group, Seonginbong Group and NariGroup. The main pyroclastics in them includes lapilli tuff intercalated within the Dodong Basaltic Rocks, lapilli tuff at the top of Sadong Breccia, Sataegam Tuff, Gombawi Welded Tuff, Bongrae Scoria Deposits, Maljandeung Tuff, Nari Scoria Deposits and Jugam Scoria Deposits. Analysing eruption types, The lapilli tuff in the Dodong Basaltic Rocks is derived from Surtseyan eruption, and the Bongrae, Nari and Jugam Scoria Deposits are caused by Strombolian eruptions or/and sub-Plinion eruptions, but the Sataegam Tuff and Maljandeung Tuff are derived from Plinian and phreatoplinian eruptions. Among them the large-scaled eruptions. In particular, the eruptions of Maljandeung were large enough to result in caldera collapse, and had falled out tephras to the eastern Korean peninsula but even Japan Islands. The magma with high potential to be still alive is judged to be trachyandesitic and phonolitic in composition. If the trachyandesitic magma explodes, it will probably result in a strombolian eruption and have a fairly low explosivity, but if the phonolitic magma explodes, it will probably result in a plinian eruption and have a much higher explosivity. If the eruption had a high explosivity, there is a possibility that it could easily be converted into a phreatoplinian eruption due to the influx of groundwater by the easy generation of fractures. These large-scaled eruptions could fall out tephras to the eastern Korean peninsula but even Japan Islands.

The Pliny Letter, the first historical record of volcanic eruptions and disasters on Earth, was studied to better understand the Vesuvius' eruption patterns in 79 AD. The two-day eruption, which began at 1 a.m. on August 24th 79 AD, produced large amounts of volcanic ash and pumice, which were carried by the wind and fell on nearby cities. Furthermore, during the eruption, fast-moving pyroclastic flows flowed down the volcano's sides, and several phenomena such as earthquakes and tsunamis occurred. Cities near Mount Vesuvius were buried and destroyed by volcanic ash and pyroclastic flows. Previous studies were collected, analyzed, and investigated and the scope of damage was chosen from Pompeii, Herculaneum, Stabiae, and Oplontis. The sedimentary stratigraphy and thickness vary according to location and distance from Vesuvius in each region. Within the depositional layers, the remains of residents who died during the eruption were also discovered, and 1,150 remains have been discovered in Pompeii, 306 in Herculaneum, 111 in Stabiae, and 54 in Oplontis, but the exact number of people who killed is unknown. The eruption that exhibited the pattern seen in AD 79 was named the Plinian eruption after Pliny and classified as a new type of eruption as a result of Pliny's detailed description of the eruption.

The purpose of the present retrospective study was to analyze gender, age, awareness, etiology, and treatment choice in patients with failed eruption of the mandibular first molar. Radiographic material and dental records from 67 patients with 74 mandibular first molars with failed eruption treated during the years 2001-2014 were evaluated. As results, the prevalence of mandibular first molar with failed eruption was higher in males than females, and the average awareness age was 9.19 years old. The most common etiological cause was unknown, and the next most common causes were abnormal eruption pathway and odontogenic tumor in order. In this study, it is suggested that more dental education to children about the time of eruption of permanent tooth is required, and the importance of regular dental check-ups is emphasized during mixed dentition.

An eruption of Taal Volcano in the Philippines began on January 12, 2020. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) subsequently issued an Alert Level 4, indicating that "a hazardous explosive eruption is possible within hours to days." It was a phreatic eruption and phreatomagmatic eruption from the main crater that spewed ashes to Calabarzon, Metro Manila, some parts of Central Luzon, and Pangasinan in Ilocos Region, resulting in the suspension of classes, work schedules, and flights. By January 26, 2020, PHIVOLCS observed inconsistent, but decreasing volcanic activity in Taal, prompting the agency to downgrade its warning to Alert Level 3. After February 14, Alert status was set to Level 2 because of overall decreasing trend of volcanic activities, but it does not mean that the threat of an eruption has disappeared. In addition, the Alert Level can be raised to Alert Level 3 if there is a symptom of increasing unrest at any time.

Purpose: Dentigerous cyst is the most common intra-osseous lesion of the jaw. Dentigerous cysts can cause delays in eruption of the affected permanent tooth in mixed dentition. It has been suggested that the affected permanent tooth could be erupted spontaneously after the dentigerous cyst was enucleated. But in some cases, orthodontic treatment or autotransplantation technique is known to be required. This study reviews previously performed prognoses of affected permanent teeth, which will lead to a more efficient treatment plan. Patients and Methods: With 28 patients who have undergone cyst enucleation and 10 patients who have undergone autotransplantation, the prognosis of permanent teeth was observed. Results: After cyst enucleation, spontaneous eruption of a permanent tooth was observed in 56.3% patients, orthodontic treatment was performed in 25% patients. The success rate of autotransplantation was 60.0%. Discussion: The first choice for treatment of dentigerous cyst in mixed dentition is to guide spontaneous eruption of permanent teeth. For cases without enough eruption space, the orthodontic treatment should be considered. Autotransplantation should be considered when the spontaneous eruption is not expected. It should be considered that the rate of successful autotransplantation is decreased on maxilla anterior area.

Introduction: There are few reports on tooth eruption through Bio-Oss grafts. To our knowledge, there are no reports on whether teeth can erupt normally through the grafts. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of Bio-Oss grafts on tooth eruption in a canine model. Materials and Methods: In five 10-week-old dogs, the deciduous third mandibular molars in one jaw quadrant of each animal were extracted and the fresh extraction sockets were then filled with Bio-Oss particles (experimental side). No such treatments were performed on the contralateral side (control side). A clinical and radiological evaluation was carried out every other week to evaluate the eruption level of the permanent third mandibular premolars and compare the eruption levels between the two sides. Results: At week 4 after the experiment, the permanent third premolars began to erupt on both sides. At week 12, the crown of the permanent third premolar emerged from the gingiva on both sides. At week 20, the permanent third premolars on both sides erupted enough to occlude the opposing teeth. No significant differences were found between the control and experimental sides in terms of the eruption speed of the permanent third molars. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that the grafting of Bio-Oss particles into the alveolar bone defects does not affect tooth eruption.
