Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the inflammatory and lipid profile of patients with and without peri-implantitis. Methods: A cross-sectional biochemical study was carried out in which blood samples were collected from 16 patients with peri-implantitis and from 31 subjects with healthy implants. Clinical peri-implant parameters were obtained from all subjects. Levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were measured in serum. Lipid fractions, glucose and creatinine levels, and complete blood count were also assessed. Results: After controlling for a history of periodontitis, statistically significant differences between peri-implantitis patients and controls were found for total cholesterol (estimated adjusted mean difference, 76.4 mg/dL; 95% confidence interval [CI], 39.6, 113.2 mg/dL; P<0.001), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (estimated adjusted mean difference, 57.7 mg/dL; 95% CI, 23.8, 91.6 mg/dL; P<0.001), white blood cells (WBC) (estimated adjusted mean difference, 2.8×10³/µL; 95% CI, 1.6, 4.0×10³/µL; P<0.001) and IL-10 (estimated adjusted mean difference, -10.4 pg/mL; 95% CI, -15.8, -5.0 pg/mL; P<0.001). The peri-implant probing pocket depth (PPD) was modestly positively correlated with total cholesterol (r=0.512; P<0.001), LDL cholesterol (r=0.463; P=0.001), and WBC (r=0.519; P<0.001). A moderate negative correlation was observed between IL-10 and PPD (r=0.609; P<0.001). Conclusions: Otherwise healthy individuals with peri-implantitis showed increased low-grade systemic inflammation and dyslipidemia.

Objective: To measure aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity in the pulp of teeth treated with fixed appliances for 6 months, and compare it with AST activity measured in untreated teeth. Methods: The study sample consisted of 16 healthy subjects (mean age $25.7{\pm}4.3$ years) who required the extraction of maxillary premolars for orthodontic reasons. Of these, 6 individuals had a total of 11 sound teeth extracted without any orthodontic treatment (the control group), and 10 individuals had a total of 20 sound teeth extracted after 6 months of orthodontic alignment (the experimental group). Dental pulp samples were extracted from all control and experimental teeth, and the AST activity exhibited by these samples was determined spectrophotometrically at $20^{\circ}C$. Results: Mean AST values were $25.29{\times}10^{-5}U/mg$ (standard deviation [SD] 9.95) in the control group and $27.54{\times}10^{-5}U/mg$ (SD 31.81) in the experimental group. The difference between these means was not statistically significantly (p = 0.778), and the distribution of the AST values was also similar in both groups. Conclusions: No statistically significant increase in AST activity in the pulp of mechanically loaded teeth was detected after 6 months of orthodontic alignment, as compared to that of teeth extracted from individuals who had not undergone orthodontic treatment. This suggests that time-related regenerative processes occur in the dental pulp.

Objective: To develop and explore the usefulness of an artificial intelligence system for the prediction of the need for dental extractions during orthodontic treatments based on gender, model variables, and cephalometric records. Methods: The gender, model variables, and radiographic records of 214 patients were obtained from an anonymized data bank containing 314 cases treated by two experienced orthodontists. The data were processed using an automated machine learning software (Auto-WEKA) and used to predict the need for extractions. Results: By generating and comparing several prediction models, an accuracy of 93.9% was achieved for determining whether extraction is required or not based on the model and radiographic data. When only model variables were used, an accuracy of 87.4% was attained, whereas a 72.7% accuracy was achieved if only cephalometric information was used. Conclusions: The use of an automated machine learning system allows the generation of orthodontic extraction prediction models. The accuracy of the optimal extraction prediction models increases with the combination of model and cephalometric data for the analytical process.

This presentation will give an overview of Ca-aluminate based biomaterials and their proposed use within the field of nanostructured biomaterials. The paper describes typical features of Ca-aluminate materials with regard to technology, chemistry, biocompatibility including hemocompatibility and bioactivity, and developed microstructure. Special focus will be on the developed microstructure, which is in the nanosize range. Application possibilities within odontology, orthopedics, and drug delivery are presented. The nanostructure including pore size below 5 nm in these structures opens up this material for some use in specific dental-related applications in which antibacterial and bacteriostatic aspects are of importance, and as thin coating on implants within dental and orthopaedic applications. Nanosize porosity is essential in drug delivery systems for controlled release of medicaments. The priority field for Ca-aluminate biomaterials is implant materials, which use minimally-invasive techniques to offer in vivo, on-site developed biomaterials.

법의학적 개인식별 및 친생자 감정시 여러 개의 single tandem repeats(STR) 유전좌위 검색이 필요하다. 그 이유는 STR 유전좌위는 대립유전자 수가 적고 이형접합도가 낮아 서로 다른 개체간에도 동일한 유전좌위를 가질 확률이 높기 때문에 개인식별에 대한 기여도가 떨어지게 된다. 따라서 여러 개의 다양한 STR 유전좌위들을 동시에 분석함으로써 우연적으로 개체간에 유전자형이 일치할 가능성을 낮추어야 감정의 신뢰성을 높일 수 있으며 이에는 각 STR 유전좌위에 대한 유전좌위의 분포가 인종별, 지역별로 달라 이에 대한 유전자분포를 구하는 것이 선행조건이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 법의학적 개인식별 및 친자감정시 기초자료로 활용하기 위하여 서로 혈연관계가 없는 201명의 한국인 혈액에서 DNA를 추출하여 STR 유전좌위증 human coagulation factor XIII A subunit gene(F13A0l Locus), human c-fes/fps proto-oncogene(FESFPS Locus), human von Willebrand factor gene (vWA Locus)등 FFv Triplex 유전자를 중합효소반응에 의하여 동시에 증폭하고, 폴리아크릴아마이드겔을 이용한 전기영동 및 질산은 염색을 시행한 후 FFv Triplex유전자의 유전자형 및 대립유전자 빈도 등을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. (1) F13A01유전자는 5개의 대립유전자, 12개의 유전자형을 검출하였으며, 이형접합도는 60.7%로 나타났고 대립유전자 및 유전자빈도는 3.2, 4, 5, 6, 16 대립유전자에서 각각 0.34 3, 0.114, 0.062, 0.475, 0.005로 나타났으며, 대립유전자 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15는 검출되지 않았다. (2) F13A01 대립유전자다양성 (allelic diversity value)은 0.641, 개인식별력(PD)은 0.814를 보였으며 대립유전자다양성 및 이형접합도가 다른 민족과 비교할 때 다소 낮았다. (3) FESFPS유전자는 8개 대립유전자 모두 나타났으며, 15개의 유전자형을 검출하였으며, 이형접합도는 66.7%로 나타났고 대립유전자 및 유전자빈도는 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11, 12, 13, 14 대립유전자에서 각각 0.002, 0.002, 0.005, 0.032, 0.507, 0.264, 0.197, 0.007로 나나났다. (4) FESFPS 대립유전자다양성(allelic diversity value)은 0.641, 개인식별력(PD)은 0.804를 보였다. (5) vWA유전자는 9개의 대립유전자, 23개의 유전자형을 검출하였으며, 이형접합도는 80.1%로 나타났고 대립유전자 및 유전자 빈도는 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 대립유전자 에서 각각 0.002, 0.002, 0.219, 0.032, 0.187, 0.279, 0.189, 0.072, 0.017로 나타났으며, 대립 유전자 13, 21는 검출되지 않았다. (6) vWA 대립유전자다양성(allelic diversity value)은 0.799, 개인식별력(PD)은 0.924로 매우 높게 나타냈다.
