Purpose: Among the various surgical methods used for the effective treatment of cystic lesion in the jaws historically, decompression procedure has some of superior prognosis compare to direct enucleation. In order to propose the efficacy of decompression we performed this retrospective study to compare decompression procedure with one-stage enucleation in clinical results and prognosis. Patients and Methods: We reviewed 175 patients who had been histopathologically diagnosed cystic lesions from 1996 to 2000 in our department. Patients who had been received decompression alone or secondary enucleation after decompression were 31 cases, and enucleation alone were 144 cases. The age and sex of the patients, the area, size, and histological type of the lesions, and detailed operation and complications including recurrence were investigated. The minimal follow-up period was 2 years. Results: In 31cases of decompression, male patients were 22cases(71%) similar to male predilection(62.3%) in total 175 cases. Cystic lesions were developed evenly in all age groups totally. Decompression was mainly performed in teenagers but enucleation was used in elder decades. In decompression cases the lesions were located in mandibular posterior, maxillary posterior, mandibular anterior, and maxillary anterior in order, which had some differences in total and enucleation cases. In enucleation cases, less than 3cm in size was 77.1% but larger than 3cm was 93.5% in decompression cases. Histopathologically, dentigerous cysts(54.8%), unicystic ameloblastomas(16.1%), and odontogenic keratocysts(12.9%) were seen in decompression cases and no recurrence or metaplasia and infection was observed. On the other hand, permanent tooth loss, numbness, recurrence, and so on were accompanied after enucleation. Conclusion: Although decompression procedure has disadvantages such as many of visiting times and slow recovery of the surgical defect, decompression is the best choice of treatment for large cystic lesions of the jaws, because it prevents functional and cosmetic defect, allows bone regeneration, and makes easy secondary enucleation.

두경부와 유방과의 접합부위인 쇄골상와(Supraclavicular lymph nodes)의 방사선치료(Half-beam techniques)에 있어서 비대칭 콜리메이터(Asymmetric collimators) 역할의 효용성과 접합부위에 균등한 선량(Uniform dose)을 유도하고자 본 측정을 시도하였다. 본 실험은 선형가속기 (Clinac 600C, 2100C, 2100CD)를 이용하였고 에너지는 4Mev와 10Mev를 사용하였다. 에너지별로 최대선량지점(Build-up)과 후방산란선(Back scatter-ray)을 고려하여 필름의 위${\cdot}$아래에 판톰을 위치시키고, ${\pm}0.0mm$, 0.1mm, 0.2mm로 콜리메이터의 간격을 두어 중심부위의 선량을 측정하였다. 측정결과 기계별로 비대칭 콜리메이터의 선량분포가 다름을 알 수 있었다. 즉, 600C에서는 X-jaw를 사용하여 0.0mm로 간격을 주지 않았을 때, 2100C에서는 X-jaw를 사용하여 0.1mm 간격을 주었을 때 가장 이상적인 선량분포를 나타냈고, 2100CD에서는 Y-jaw를 사용하여 0.1mm 간격을 두었을 때 균등한 선량분포를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 본 저자들은 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 1 . 비대칭 콜리메이터를 사용한, 접합부위의 방사선 치료시에는 정기적인 측정과 기계별 비대칭 콜리메이터의 특성을 파악하는 것이 중요하리라고 사료된다. 2. 접합부위의 방사선 치료시, 비대칭 콜리메이터의 사용은 접합부위에 선량과다(hot spots)와 과소(cold spots)없이 균등한 선량분포를 얻을 수 있어 Half-beam 사용시 임상적으로 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

Orthognathic surgery, ie, the surgical correction of congenital and acquaired anormalities of the jaws, is currently a field of vigorous activity among oral surgeons. Surgical correction of maxillofacial deformities benefits the patient both psychologically and functionally. Facial mutilation may precipitate adverse psychologic effects. Function is frequently impaired by malrelation of the jaws. In addition, speech, specifically articulation, is often handicapped in patient with severe jaw deformities. Therefore, in dealing with these patient, above mentioned problem should be considered deliberately. In this regard, the authors have treated 2 cases of mandible defect caused by gunshot and explosives with iliac bone graft. In both cases, the patient had Tantalum plate on defect area. But it became lose and gave functional disturbances. So, the authors have removed Tantalum plate and performed bone transplantation with autogenous soild iliac bone graft on that area with good results.

The purpose of this study was to know the proper diagnosis and to establish the treatment plan of cementifying and ossifying fibroma in the jaws through the clinical, raiological, and histopathologic considerations. The authors compared and analyzed the c1inicoradiologic features of the thirteen cases of cementifying and ossifying fibroma, diagnosed at the Dental college hospital in Yonsei university, Seoul, Korea, during the period from 1980 to 1995. The obtained results were as follows : 1. Cementifying and ossifying fibroma occured in the mean age, 44 years, ranged from 29 to 65 years and the male to female ratio was approximately 1:5. 2. Swelling was the most common frequent presenting complaints. Other reported symptoms included pain, tooth mobility and asymptom. 3. The frequency of the lesions was twelve cases in the mandible and one case in the maxilla. And eleven of thirteen cases were distributed on the premolar and molar region. 4. Radiologically, eight of thirteen cases were well defined lesions, five cases were relatively well defined lesions. And nine of thirteen cases were mixed lesions, three cases were radiopaque lesions, and only one case was purely radiolucenct lesion. 5. Histologically, seven of thirteen cases were classified ossifying fibroma, four cases were cemento-ossifying fibroma, and two cases were cementifying fibroma.

본인은 본교실에서 치험한 악골내 발생된 각화성 낭종들중 다발성인 경우에 이상의 증례에서 동반된 이상소견을 의도적으로 조사해 봄으로써, 악골계를 담당하는 의사로서 악골내에서 다발성 낭종이 발견될 때 NBCCS을 간과해서는 안됨을 느끼게 된다. 또한 이상의 증례에서는 확연한 가족력을 찾아볼 수는 없었으나 이 증후군 자체가 상염색체 우성유전으로 인자전달이 잘 되는 것이므로 세심한 주의와 계속적인 관찰이 요하리라 생각된다.

Florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) is an uncommon, benign, cemento-osseous lesion of the jaws. The etiology of FOD is still unknown. It is often asymptomatic and may be identified on routine dental radiographs. The classic radiographic appearance of FOD is amorphous, lobulated, mixed radiolucent/radiopaque masses of cotton-wool appearance with a sclerotic border in the jaws. In our case the lesion was found incidentally on routine periapical radiographs taken for restored teeth and edentulous areas. For further and detailed examination, a panoramic radiograph and cone-beam computed tomograph (CBCT) were taken. The panoramic radiograph and CBCT revealed maxillary bilateral and symmetrical, non-expansile, well-defined, round, radiopaque masses in contact with the root of the maxillary right second molar and left first molar teeth. Our aim in presenting this case report was to highlight the importance of imaging in diagnosis of FOD.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of incidental findings(IFs) on digital dental panoramic radiographs(DPRs) of asymptomatic patients attending a general dental practice. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of 6,252 consecutive digital (photostimulatable phosphor) DPRs of patients who visited a Canadian general dental practice for a complete new patient examination. The IFs were grouped into dental-related anomalies, radiopacities and radiopacities in the jaws, changes in the shape of the condyles, and other findings in the jaws, such as tonsilloliths and mucosal antral pseudocysts. Their prevalence was determined. Results: Thirty-two percent of the DPRs showed at least 1 IF. The highest prevalence was found for dental-related anomalies(29% of all DPRs), of which impacted teeth were the most prevalent finding (24% of all DPRs), followed by idiopathic osteosclerosis(6% of all DPRs). A lower prevalence was noted for tonsilloliths(3%), and the prevalence of root tips, mucosal antral pseudocysts, and anomalies in condylar shape was approximately 1% each. Conclusion: The observed prevalence of 32.1% for IFs of any type underscores the need for a dental practitioner to review the entire DPR when a patient presents for an initial dental examination (or check-up) or for dental hygiene. Only a single IF (a central giant cell granuloma) provoked alarm, as it was initially considered malignant. Similarly, impacted teeth and suspected cysts need careful evaluation upon discovery to determine how they may be optimally managed.

Pain and sensory disorder resulting from injury to peripheral nerves of the face and jaws are a major source of patient dissatisfaction and suffering. The majority of patient who sustain injuries to the peripheral sensory nerves of the face and jaws experience a slow but orderly return of sensation that is functional and tolerable in quality, if not "normal". For many patients, however, the long-term effects are a source of aggravation, and for a few, a significant cause of suffering. Common complaints relate to reduced sensory information causing embarrassing food accumulations or drooling, biting a burning the lip or tongue, and difficulty in performing routine activities such as shaving and apply makeup. For some patients posttraumatic symptoms become pathological and frankly painful. The predominent pain components are (1) numbing anesthesia dolorosa pain, (2) triggered neuralgiaform pain, (3) burning, aching causalgiaform pain, and (4) phantom pain. This is a report of cases about posttraumatic pain syndrome associated with dental treatment in a psychologically disabled patient.
