Purpose: Ameloblastomas are rare benign tumors of odontogenic origin, and compose about 1% of all oral and maxillomandibular cysts and tumors. Because this neoplasm has a high rate of local recurrence, segmental mandibulectomy with a 1~2 cm safety margin and immediate microsurgical reconstruction is an accepted treatment modality. The authors experienced four mandibular reconstruction cases that underwent secondary dental implantation. Here, the authors describe these cases and their long-term results. Methods: Four patients with ameloblastoma of the mandible underwent segmental mandibulectomy and reconstruction with a free fibula osseous flap from January 1999 to May 2005, followed by secondary dental implantation. Recurrence, bony union, implant osseointegration, and functional and aesthetic results were evaluated by radiologic imaging, by physical examination, and by using photographs. Results: All free flaps survived with no evidence of flap loss. To date, no recurrence has been noted clinically or radiologically. Imaging after mandibular reconstruction with a free fibular flap revealed satisfactory bony unions and mandibular contours. The patients achieved good aesthetic and functional results after the secondary implantation. Conclusion: Mandibular reconstruction using a fibular osseous flap and secondary dental implantation can produce good functional and aesthetic results after segmental mandibulectomy for ameloblastoma.

Background : Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is gaining popularity due to its superior aesthetic results. When reconstructing the breast with free abdominal tissue transfer, we must readdress the recipient vessel, because NSM can cause difficulty in access to the chest vessel. Methods : Between June 2006 and March 2011, a total of 92 women underwent NSM with free abdominal tissue transfer. A lateral oblique incision was used for the nipple-sparing mastectomy. For recipient vessels, the internal mammary vessels were chosen if the mastectomy flap did not block access to the vessels. If it did, the thoracodorsal vessels were used. Age, degree of breast ptosis, weight of the mastectomy specimen, and related complications of the internal mammary vessel group and the thoracodorsal vessel group were compared. Results : Thoracodorsal vessels were used as recipient vessels in 59 cases, and internal mammary vessels in 33 cases including 4 cases with perforators of the internal mammary vessels. Breast reconstruction was successful in all cases except one case involving a total flap failure, which was replaced by a silicone gel implant. The internal mammary group and the thoracodorsal group were similar in terms of age, height, breast weight, and degree of ptosis. The flap related complications such as flap loss and take-back operation rates were not significantly different between the two groups. The rate of nipple necrosis was higher in the internal mammary group. Conclusions : The thoracodorsal vessels could produce comparable outcomes in breast reconstruction after nipple-sparing mastectomies. If access to internal mammary vessels is difficult, the thoracodorsal vessel can be a better choice.

Background Ultrasonic dissection devices cause less thermal damage to the surrounding tissue than monopolar electrosurgical devices. We compared the effects of using an ultrasonic dissection device or an electrocautery device during prosthetic breast reconstruction on seroma development and short-term postoperative complications. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent implant-based reconstruction following mastectomy between March 2017 and September 2018. Mastectomy was performed by general surgeons and reconstruction by plastic surgeons. From March 2017 to January 2018, a monopolar electrosurgical device was used, and an ultrasonic dissection device was used thereafter. The other surgical methods were the same in both groups. Results The incidence of seroma was lower in the ultrasonic dissection device group than in the electrocautery group (11 [17.2%] vs. 18 [31.0%]; P=0.090). The duration of surgery, total drainage volume, duration of drainage, overall complication rate, surgical site infection rate, and flap necrosis rate were comparable between the groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that the risk of seroma development was significantly lower in the ultrasonic dissection device group than in the electrocautery group (odds ratio for electrocautery, 3.252; 95% confidence interval, 1.242-8.516; P=0.016). Conclusions The findings of this study suggest that the incidence of seroma can be reduced slightly by using an ultrasonic dissection device for prosthesis-based breast reconstruction. However, further randomized controlled studies are required to verify our results and to assess the cost-effectiveness of this technique.

Purpose: Previous studies have solely focused on fresh extraction sockets, whereas in clinical settings, alveolar sockets are commonly associated with chronic inflammation. Because the extent of tissue destruction varies depending on the origin and the severity of inflammation, infected alveolar sockets may display various configurations of their remaining soft and hard tissues following tooth extraction. The aim of this study was to classify infected alveolar sockets and to provide the appropriate treatment approaches. Methods: A proposed classification of extraction sockets with chronic inflammation was developed based upon the morphology of the bone defect and soft tissue at the time of tooth extraction. The prevalence of each type of the suggested classification was determined retrospectively in a cohort of patients who underwent, between 2011 and 2015, immediate bone grafting procedures (ridge preservation/augmentation) after tooth extractions at Seoul National University Dental Hospital. Results: The extraction sockets were classified into 5 types: type I, type II, type III, type IV (A & B), and type V. In this system, the severity of bone and soft tissue breakdown increases from type I to type V, while the reconstruction potential and treatment predictability decrease according to the same sequence of socket types. The retrospective screening of the included extraction sites revealed that most of the sockets assigned to ridge preservation displayed features of type IV (86.87%). Conclusions: The present article classified different types of commonly observed infected sockets based on diverse levels of ridge destruction. Type IV sockets, featuring an advanced breakdown of alveolar bone, appear to be more frequent than the other socket types.

Fungal sinusitis is relatively rare, but it has become more common in recent years. When fungal sinusitis invades the orbit, it can cause proptosis, chemosis, ophthalmoplegia, retroorbital pain, and vision impairment. We present a case of an extensive orbital floor defect due to invasive fungal sinusitis. A 62-year-old man with hypertension and a history of lung adenocarcinoma, presented with right-side facial pain and swelling. On admission, the serum glucose level was 347 mg/dL, and hemoglobin A1c was 11.4%. A computed tomography scan and a Waters' view X-ray showed right maxillary sinusitis with an orbital floor defect. On hospital day 3, functional endoscopic sinus surgery was performed by the otorhinolaryngology team, and an aspergilloma in necrotic inflammatory exudate obtained during exploration. On hospital day 7, orbital floor reconstruction with a Medpor Titan surgical implant was done. In principle, the management of invasive sino-orbital fungal infection often begins with surgical debridement and local irrigation with an antifungal agent. Exceptionally, in this case, debridement and immediate orbital floor reconstruction were performed to prevent enophthalmos caused by the extensive orbital floor defect. The patient underwent orbital floor reconstruction and received intravenous and oral voriconazole. Despite orbital invasion, there were no ophthalmic symptoms or sequelae.

Purpose: The purpose was to examine the clinical and radiological outcomes after surgical treatment of acetabular fractures with total hip arthroplasty with a dual mobility cup cemented into a porous multihole cup in the population of frail elderly patients. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of 16 patients who underwent surgery (mean age, 76.7 years) with a mean follow-up period of 36.9 months was conducted. Following surgery, patients underwent postoperative follow-up at six weeks, three, six, and 12 months and clinical and radiological examinations were performed. Results: Classification of fractures was based on the Letournel classification. Following surgery, all patients were allowed weight-bearing as tolerated immediately postoperative. Fourteen patients showed maintenance of preoperative mobility status at one year. The mean Harris hip score was 64.8 (range, 34.7-82.8) and 80.0 (range, 60.8-93.8) at three months and one year, respectively. The mortality rate was 12.5% at one year (2/16). Complications included heterotopic ossification (2/16), deep venous thrombosis (1/16), heamatoma (1/16), and femoral revision due to a Vancouver B2 fracture (1/16). No case of deep infection, dislocation, or implant loosening was reported. Conclusion: Total hip arthroplasty using a dual mobility cup cemented into a porous multihole cup with locking screws resulted in a stable construct with a capacity for immediate weight-bearing as tolerated with rapid relief of pain. The findings of this study suggest that this procedure can be regarded as a safe method that has shown promising clinical and radiological outcomes for treatment of patients with medical frailty.

임플랜트가 개발된 이후 임플랜트 안정성을 아기 위한 여러 방법들이 연구되어 왔고 여러 측정 장치들이 고안되어 왔다. 그 중에서도 공명주파수분석법(Resonance Frequency Analysis)을 이용한 방법이 요즘 각광을 받고 있다. 가장 최근에 공명주파수분석법을 이용한 측정 장치의 하나인 $Osstell^{TM}$ 보다 간편한 $Osstell^{TM}$ mentor의 출시로 임상적으로 더 편하게 임플랜트의 안정성을 측정 할 수 있게 되었다. 본 연구는 $Osstell^{TM}$ mentor 의 자기공명막대인 $Smartpeg^{TM}$을 사용할 때 임상에서 측정 가능한 측정횟수가 얼마나 되는지를 확인하고 또한 소독 후에도 측정값이 안정한지를 확인하고자 실험을 하였다. 실험 목적은 5가지로 나누어 알아보고자 하였다: 1. 자기공명막대의 반복측정의 영향: 자기 공명막대와 $Osstell^{TM}$ mentor를 고정시키고 반복적인 측정을 하여 몇 회까지 측정값이 안정한가? 2. 자기공명막대의 탈부착 반복의 영향: 자기공명막대를 탁부착을 반복하면서 몇회까지 측정값이 안정한가? 3. 자기공명막대의 소독방법에 따른 영향: 진료실내의 소독방법 후에도 자기 공명막대 측정값이 안정한가? 4. 자기 공명막대의 반복되는 고압증기멸균 소독 후의 영향: 고압증기 멸균법 10회 반복적인 소독 후에도 측정값이 안정한가? 5. 자기 공명막대의 자성소실온도 확인: 자기공명막대의 자성을 잃는 온도는 몇 도인가? 실험방법은 각 실험별 8개의 자기공명막대를 준비하고 각각의 구별을 위해 컬러펜으로 표식을 했으며 실험전 측정값을 재고, 실험후 측정값을 재어 비교하였다. 자기공명막대 반복측정의 영향을 알아본 실험은 최초의 측정값과 변화가 있는 횟수를 알아보려 했으며 측정값에 변화가 없을 경우 400회까지 측정하여, 1-100회, 101-200회, 201-300회, 301-400회 4군으로 나누어 유의수준을 살펴보았다. 자기공명막대 탈부착 반복의 영향을 알아본 실험은 자기 공명막대 8개를 각각 400회씩 탈부착하여 측정값의 변화를 1-100회, 101-200회, 201-300회, 301-400회 4군으로 나누어 군간 유의수준을 확인하였다. 자기공명막대 소독방법에 따른 영향에 대한 실험은 8개의 자기공명막대를 소독 전 측정값과 소독 후 측정값을 비교확인하였다. 자기 공명막대 반복되는 고압증기멸균 소독 후의 영향에 대한 실험은 8개의 자기공명막대를 10회 반복 소독하면서 소독 전 측정값을 0군, 1-10회까지 소독 후를 10군으로 나누어 군간 유의수준을 확인하였다. 자기공명막대 자성 소실 온도 확인실험은 8개의 자기 공명막대를 $138^{\circ}C$/10분, $150^{\circ}C$/5분, $150^{\circ}C$/10분으로 나누어 자기공명막대가 자성을 잃는 온도가 몇 도인지 실험하였다. 실험결과; 1. 자기공명막대 반복측정의 영향 실험에서는 각 군간 유의성이 없었다(p>0.05). 2. 자기공명막대 탈부착측정의 영향에 대한 실험은 각 군간 유의 확률이 0.123으로 유의성이 없었다(p>0.05). 3. 자기공명막대 소독방법에 따른 영향에 대한 실험은 소독 전 측정값과 소독 후 측정값의 유의성이 없었다(p>0.05). 4. 자기공명막대 반복되는 고압증기멸균소독 후의 영향에 대한 실험은 각 군간 유의성이 없었다.(p>0.05). 5. 자기공명막대 자성 소실온도확인 실험은 $138^{\circ}C$/10분에서는 소독 전, 후간 측정값에 유의성이 없었고(p>0.05), $150^{\circ}C$/5분에서는 2개가 측정 불가였으며, $150^{\circ}C$/10분에서는 8개 모두 ISQ값을 측정할 수가 없었다. 결론으로 말하면, 자기 공명막대가 나사산이 손상되지 않고 자성을 잃지 않으면 측정값이 변하지 않을 것으로 사료된다. 그리고 자기공명막대를 $150^{\circ}C$/10분에서 진공건열멸균 소독 후에 자성을 잃는 것으로 나타난 결과로 추론해 보건데, 진료실에서 가장 높은 온도를 보이는 고압증기멸균 소독이 $132^{\circ}C$/15분 이므로 진료실내의 소독방법들에는 아무런 문제가 없는 것으로 사료된다. 몇 번 사용할 수 있는지의 문제는 400번 측정 시 수치에 변화가 없으므로 측정되지 않을 때까지 사용해도 무방하리라 사료된다.

Statement of problem: It was reported high success rate of implant-supported fixed prostheses using with $5{\sim}6$ implants on anterior mandible. Recently, immediate loading protocol was focused to overcome disadvantages of classic 2-stage delayed loading protocol. Purpose: This clinical study was to evaluate stability changes with time of immediately loaded and delayed loaded implants in edentulous mandible and to compare stability changes with time according to implantation sites. Materials and methods: Five or six implants were placed on anterior mandible depending on the arch shape. The immediately loading group was consisted of 8 patients received their prostheses within $24{\sim}48$ hours after implantation. The delayed loading group was consisted of 8 patients received their definitive prostheses following classical prosthetic procedures after a healing period of 3 months. All patients were recalled every 6 months for check-up. The evaluations of radiographic examination, ISQ value measurement and recording of complication were done. To evaluate marginal bone level, intraoral periapical radiographs were taken with long cone paralleling technique. At every evaluation recall, all prostheses were removed and ISQ values were measured with OsstellTM on individual implants. Results: 1. None of implants was failed. All implants showed stable marginal bone levels and ISQ values. 2. Marginal bone level changes with time showed statistically significant difference between immediately loading group and delayed loading group (P<0.001). 3. ISQ value changes with time did not show statistically significant difference between immediately loading group and delayed loading group (P=0.079). ISQ value decreased with time in both groups, however, all implants showed stable ISQ value at 30 months-recall evaluation. 4. Marginal bone level changes with time did not show statistically significant differences among implantation sites (P=0.604). 5. ISQ value changes with time showed statistically significant differences among implantation sites (P=0.047). ISQ values of most posterior implants decreased with time comparing to other implants. Conclusion: Although the marginal bone level of the terminal abutment didn't different with the other implants, ISQ value of the terminal abutment was lower than that of the other implants. Therefore, further clinical evaluation would be needed in this point of view.
