Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of root planing on the reduction of probing pocket depth and the gain of clinical attachment depending on the pattern of bone resorption (vertical versus horizontal bone loss) in the interproximal aspect of premolar teeth that showed an initial probing pocket depth of 4-6 mm. Methods: In this study, we analyzed 68 teeth (15 from the maxilla and 53 from the mandible) from 32 patients with chronic periodontitis (17 men and 15 women; mean age, 53.6 years). The probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level at all six sites around each tooth were recorded before treatment to establish a baseline value, and then three months and six months after root planing. Results: The reduction in interdental pocket depth was 1.1 mm in teeth that experienced horizontal bone loss and 0.7 mm in teeth that experienced vertical bone loss. Interdental attachment was increased by 1.0 mm in teeth with horizontal bone loss and by 0.7 mm in teeth with vertical bone loss. The reduction of probing pocket depth and the gain of clinical attachment occurred regardless of defect patterns three and six months after root planing. Conclusions: The reduction of pocket depth and gain in the clinical attachment level were significantly larger in horizontally patterned interproximal bone defects than in vertical bone defects.

본 연구는 토양 특성이 다른 30-40년생 독일가문비나무(Picea abies [L.] KARST) 임분에서 토양 깊이에 따른 뿌리구조 분석을 통하여 뿌리 발달의 차이점과 토양 상태의 상호관계 및 외부 형태적 특징 그리고 기계적 물리적 안정성에 대한 적응범위를 밝히고자 실시하였다. 조사된 3개 임분에 있어서 독일가문비나무의 뿌리구조는 다양한 형태로 관찰되었는데, Eberg$\ddot{o}$tzen 임분은 뿌리수가 많고 가늘며 토양 깊이까지 발달한 뿌리구조를 보였으며, Barbis 임분은 Eberg$\ddot{o}$tzen 임분에 비하여 그 수가 적으나 굵고 깊이까지 자라는 뿌리구조를 나타내었다. 그리고 Weidenbrunnen 임분은 반 수직 뿌리와 편평/접시형 뿌리구조를 나타내었다. 뿌리의 수는 Eberg$\ddot{o}$tzen 임분이 74개로 가장 많은 뿌리 수를 보여주었으며, Barbis 임분은 33개, Weidenbrunnen 임분은 57개이었다. Eberg$\ddot{o}$tzen 임분은 수직뿌리에서 평균 57개로 Barbis 임분이 21개이고, Weidenbrunnen 임분 36개에 비하여 월등히 많은 뿌리의 수를 나타내었다. 뿌리의 길이는 Weidenbrunnen 염분이 전체 뿌리길이가 다른 두 임분에 비하여 길게 나타났으며, 수형뿌리의 길이는 수직뿌리에 비하여 그 값이 107m로 매우 큰 값을 나타내었다. 수직뿌리에 대한 수평뿌리의 비는 Eberg$\ddot{o}$tzen 임분이 다른 두 임분(0.5)에 비하여 그 값이 1.2로 높게 나타났다. 전체 뿌리무게는 다른 두 임분에 비하여 Weidenbrunnen 임분이 매우 높은 값을 보여 주였으며, 수명뿌리에 대한 수직뿌리의 비는 0.16으로 다른 두 임분(0.40)에 비해 매우 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 본 연구의 독일가문비나무 임분에서 나타난 뿌리 발달의 현저한 차이점은 토양의 기계적 물리적 요인보다는 토양 산성화와 같은 화학적인 요인으로 인하여 정상적인 뿌리의 발달이 장애를 받아 수직뿌리생장이 저하되고 수분과 영양분의 스트레스로 언하여 상대적으로 수평뿌리가 발달된 결과로 사료된다.

Impulsive vibration velocity is monitored at the surface and the boundary surface of rocks as various impulsive forces of horizontal and vertical directions were given to rocks which had difference in uniaxial compressive strength for investigate to the vibration velocity of rocks according to the impulsive direction and the monitoring site. The vibration velocity of the boundary surface of rocks was about 2.9 times or much larger than that of the surface at the same scaled distance in the case of horizontal impulsive forces, and was above 4.2 times in the case of vertical impulsive forces. The attenuation exponents of the vibration velocity equations in the surface and the boundary surface of rocks make a vast difference with the impulsive directions, but is makes little difference in the case of the same impulsive direction. The ratio of vibration constants of the surface to the boundary surface of rocks is that square and cube root scaled equation is a range of 2.7∼3.0 and 4.9∼5.0 respectively in the case of horizontal impulsive forces, and is a range of 4.2∼5.7 and 7.7∼11.5 respectively in the case of vertical impulsive forces.

Purpose : To investigate the reproducibility of the conventional and digital radiographs to determine the depth of approximal root cavities. Materials and Methods : A total of 80 artificial root cavities were prepared in the approximal surfaces of premolars, maxillary and mandibular molars. Standardized radiographs were taken at the baseline (0° horizontal and 0° vertical) and at a horizontal angulation of 10° in both mesial and distal directions. Radiographic cavity depths were measured by both conventional and digital radiographs. Results: At 0° horizontal angulation, no statistically significant differences could be determined between the results of conventionally and digitally determined radiographic depths with respect to the actual cavity depths in all premolar, maxillary, and mandibular molar groups. All conventional and digital radiographic depths at both 10° mesial and distal angulations showed statistically significant increases in depth compared to the actual cavity depths (p < 0.05), with the exception of digital radiographic depth at 10° mesial angulation for premolars. There were no statistically significant differences between conventional and digital radiographic depths for all groups. Conclusion: The present study suggests that both conventional and digital radiographs provide reproducible assessment of the depth of the approximal root cavity. But horizontal X-ray beam movements are likely to result in increase in radiographic cavity depth.

Purpose: To provide diagnostic information by evaluation of the positional relationship between the mandibular third molar and the mandibular canal. Materials and Methods: Eighty-nine mandibular third molars were classified as mesioangular, horizontal, vertical, distoangular groups. The distances between the mandibular third molar and the mandibular canal were measured in cone-beam computed tomographs. The height and width ratios of distances from the mandibular third molar and the mandibular canal to the mandibular inferior border and to the lingual cortical plate were calculated. Results: The vertical and buccolingual distances between the mandibular third molar and the mandibular canal were 0.03 mm, 2.96 mm in the mesioangular, 0.37 mm, 3.38 mm in the horizontal, -1.50 mm, 1.38 mm in the vertical, -1.10 mm, 4.20 mm in the distoangular group. There were significant differences in vertical (P < 0.05), but not in buccolingual (P>0.05). The height and width ratios of distances on the mandibular third molar were 47.1 %, 36.1 % in the mesioangular, 47.4%, 34.4% in the horizontal, 37.0%, 46.7% in the vertical, 40.9%, 37.4% in the distoangular group. There were significant differences between the mesioangular and the vertical group, and the horizontal and the vertical group in height ratio (P < 0.05), and also between the mesioangular and the vertical group in width ratio (P < 0.05). The height and width ratios of distances on the mandibular canal showed no significant differences between groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion : The mesioangular group showed the nearest distance between the mandibular third molar and the mandibular canal vertically. The root apex of the mandibular third molar was positioned more buccally in the vertical group than in the mesioangular group.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between incisor root resolution and sex, age, extraction, the magnitude and direction of tooth movement. The sample consisted of 189 randomly selected orthodontic patients, receiving standard edgewise orthodontic treatment in three private orthodontic onces at San Francisco. Pre-treatment and post-treatment periapicals and cephalometric radiographs were digitized. Measurements and superimpositions were made utilizing a computerized cephalometric analysis program. The variables were statistically analyzed. The results were as follows: 1. Mean apical root resorption values were $0.77{\pm}2.08mm$ for upper right central incisor, $0.88{\pm}2.11mm$ for upper left central incisor, $-0.05{\pm}2.09mm$ for lower right central incisor and $0.11{\pm}1.85mm$ for lower left central incisor. Apical root resorption of upper incisor was greater than lowers. 2. No correlation was found between sex and apical root resorption. 3. Apical root resorptions in adolescents were smaller than those in adults. 4. Apical root resorption was not affected by extraction. 5. Apical root resorption values of upper incisor were correlated to the horizontal and vertical movement of apex; Apical root resorption values of lower incisor were correlated to the vertical movement of apex.

This study was carried out to analyze the vertical and horizontal distribution of fine root biomass of Pinus thunbergii transplanted in reclaimed land from the sea near Gwangyang Bay. The fine-root biomass according to 6 planting ground types were as follows: 98.5 g DM/$m^2$ for P2, 51.1 g DM/$m^2$ for P6, 47.8 g DM$m^2$ for P5, 44.6 g DM/$m^2$ for P3, 38.2 g DM/$m^2$ for P4, 31.8 g DM/$m^2$ for Pl, respectively. The vertical distribution of fine root biomass decreased at descending soil depths of the 6 mounding types. Fine root biomass was 31∼55% in the topsoil of 20cm depth. Fine root biomass that were related to the Spatial distance from the nearest tree were unevenly distributed horizontally in 6 stands. distribution patterns of fine root biomass were closely related to soil hardness and alkalic cation (Ca++, Mg++, Na+, K+) concentrations. Therefore, in order to have good condition for the growth of landscaping plants, we suggest that there is a need for the construction of planting grounds as well as a need for soil improvement in bad soil environments.

A study was made primarily to investigate vertical and horizontal distortion of the image at the apical region of the dental roots in orthopantomographs. The subjects consisted of two dry skulls with radiopaque materials attached to root surface. Measuring of the width and length of each predetermined point at 23 teeth was performed in dry skulls and radiographic films. The results obtained were as follows; 1. There was overall magnification of image in the vertical dimension. And anterior portion had greater magnification rate than posterior portion, while lower anterior portion had less magnification rate than upper anterior portion. 2. There was reduction of the image in the horizontal dimension of the teeth, because of the position relation between dry skull and image layer of the orthopantomograph. 3. There was a significant difference in distortion rate between the oposite teeth. 4. Cervical portion of the tooth had more decreased rate of horizontal distortion than apical portion.
