Two Korean short-haired cats were admitted to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Chonnam National University, with severe lower lip avulsion. In the first case, the treatment was performed using the tension-free suture technique with rubber tube stents. The second case was treated using the tension-free suture technique with rubber tube stents for lip avulsion and using the cerclage wiring technique for alveolar fracture. The teeth around the alveolar fracture were extracted and bone graft and collagen membrane were applied at the alveolar fracture site to stabilize the mandibular alveolar fracture. Thereafter, the cerclage wire was placed circumferentially around the mandible. In both cases, normal function of the oral cavity was successfully recovered by repairing the anatomic abnormality. In conclusion, tension-free suture technique can be a treatment option for bilateral lower lip avulsion in cats.

The infraorbital nerve is a branch of the trigeminal nerve. Injury to the infraorbital nerve can be caused by trauma, including various facial fractures. Due to this nerve injury, patients complain of numbness and pain in the entire cheek, the ala of nose, and upper lip. In general, spontaneous sensory recovery is expected after decompressive surgery. If nerve transection is confirmed, however, neurorrhaphy is typically performed. Here, we present a case in which microsurgery was not performed in a patient with Sunderland grade V avulsion injury of the infraorbital nerve due to a facial bone fracture. Gradual nerve function recovery was confirmed to be possible with conservative treatment and rehabilitation alone. These findings suggest that the nerve function recovery can be expected with conservative treatment, even for severe nerve injury for which microsurgery cannot be considered.

Recently dental emergency patients tend to increase and diversify because of increased living quality and acknowledgement of health care. We performed this study to understand the pattern of dental emergency and perform the adequate diagnosis and treatment. From August 1998 to July 1999, we inverstigated the rate of dental emergency, distribution according to disease pattern, monthly distribution, and types of emergency treatment from all the emergency patients that visited emergency medicine of Daejin Medical Center, Jesaeng Hospital. There were 266 dental patients(0.978%) from total 27,192 emergency patients. Types of emergency situations included lip lacerations, teeth fracture, teeth missing or avulsion, TMJ contusion, mandible fracture, tongue laceration, toothache, teeth luxation, and so forth. Dental emergency had highest frequency in July. The most common treatments included primary closure of soft tissue lacerations, fixations of luxated teeth and medications.

본 연구는 소아의 외상에 관한 실태를 파악하여 외상의 예방 및 치료법을 확립하고자 전북 대학교병원 소아치과에 1998년 4월 1일부터 2000년 3월 31일까지 2년간 외상을 주소로 내원한 212명(치아수:431개)의 환자를 대상으로 설문지 및 구강검사를 통하여 연령, 성별분포, 발생원인, 초진시 처치, 치아외상의 세부항목을 조사, 분류하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째, 모든 나이군을 통해, 남아가 여아보다 치아외상의 더 높은 빈도를 보인다. 둘째, 환자방문이 가장 높은 나이는 유치에서는 1-2세, 영구치에서는 8-9세이다. 셋째, 외상원인으로 유치는 넘어짐, 추락, 충돌이고, 영구치는 넘어짐, 충돌, 사고, 타박 등이다. 외상빈도는 계절적으로 유치는 5월, 영구치는 3월에 가장 많으며, 유치에서는 수요일에, 영구치는 화요일과 목요일에 많다. 치아외상은 주로 오전에 발생한다. 넷째, 어린아동들은 넘어지거나 가구에 부딪혀서 가정에서 주로 손상을 받는다. 나이든 아동들은 가정밖인 학교등에서 스포츠나 사고등에 의해 외상이 증가한다. 다섯째, 가장 흔히 손상받는 부위는 상악유중절치, 상악중절치이다. 유치에서 손상은 동요 진탕이 많고, 영구치는 치관파절이 많고 또한 동요 진탕도 많다. 여섯째, 상하순 및 상악치은 열상이 가장 흔한 연조직 손상으로 나타난다. 일곱째 초진시 처치는 유치에서 경과관찰과 발치가 가장 흔한 치료법이며, 영구치에서는 주로 수복처치와 정복고정이 시행된다.
