Background: The conventional surgical method for reconstructing orbital floor fractures involves restoration of orbital continuity by covering an onlay with a thin material under the periorbital region. However, in large orbital floor fractures, the implant after inserting is often dislocated, leading to malposition. This study aimed to propose a novel implanting method and compare it with existing methods. Methods: Among patients who underwent surgery for large orbital floor fractures, 24 who underwent the conventional onlay implanting method were compared with 21 who underwent the novel ${\gamma}$ implanting method that two implant sheets were stacked and bent to resemble the shape of the Greek alphabet ${\gamma}$. When inserting a ${\gamma}$-shaped implant, the posterior ledge of the orbital floor was placed between the two sheets and the bottom sheet was impacted onto the posterior wall of the maxilla to play a fixative role while the top sheet was placed above the residual orbital floor to support orbital contents. Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for data analyses. Results: Compared to the conventional onlay method, the gamma method resulted in better restoration of orbital contents, better improvement of enophthalmos, and fewer revision surgeries. Conclusion: Achieving good surgical outcomes for extended orbital floor fractures is known to be difficult. However, better surgical outcomes could be obtained by using the novel implantation method of impacting a ${\gamma}$-shaped porous polyethylene posteriorly.

Constricted ear has a prevalence of 5.2 to 10% among ear abnormalities, and various surgical methods are suggested for treatment. We introduce a case of a constricted ear treated with a simple method using a novel concept cartilage graft and transposition flap, along with the well-known Mustardé suture, which is used for pediatric patients with mild to moderate constricted ears of Tanzer classification type IIA. A 10-year-old female patient visited the hospital complaining of an abnormality in the congenital right ear. Surgical approach was planned under the diagnosis of Tanzer classification type IIA constricted right ear. Posterior helix onlay graft and perichondrocutaneous transposition flap using excessive helical cartilage were performed along with the Mustardé suture. In the immediate postoperative period, ear contour was improved, and it was well-maintained without recurrence until 6 months' follow-up. In conclusion, the combination of Mustardé suture, and cartilage onlay graft and perichondrocutaneous transposition flap in the mild to moderate constricted ear would be a useful surgical option, producing aesthetically good results in a simple and effective method.

This paper presents a method for effectively modeling inlay/onlay prostheses restoring a tooth that are partially destroyed. An inlay/onlay is composed of internal surface adhering to an abutment, and external surface revealed to the outside sight. Internal surfaces are modeled using Minkowski sum expanding the grinded surface parts of abutments so that the internal surfaces can adhere to the abutments with closer contact. In modeling external surfaces, we exploit 3D mesh deformation techniques: DMFFD(direct manipulation free-form deformation)[19] and MWD(multiple wires deformation)[17] with three kinds of informations: standard teeth models, mesh data obtained by scanning a plaster cast of a patient's tooth, FGP(functionally guided plane) measuring the occlusion of the patients's teeth. The standard teeth models are used for building up the basic shapes of external surfaces, while the plaster fast and FGP data are used for reflecting the unique properties of adjacent md occlusal surfaces of the patients's teeth, which are slightly different to each other but very important for correct functioning. With these informations as input data, the adjacent and occlusal surfaces are automatically generated as mesh data using the techniques of DMFFD and m, respectively. Our method was implemented so that inlay/onlay prostheses fan be designed more accurately by visualizing the generated mesh models with requirements by dentists.

Background: Onlay vein patch coronary angioplasty has been known to be an option for coronary artery stenosis in the selective iesions Material and method: During the period between July 1997 and August 1999, coronary angioplasty using autologous saphenous vein was done on 16 sites in 14 cases for the stenotic lesion at the bifurcation area and significantly stenosis distal to anastomosis. Result: Early patency of the angioplasty site was 85.7% at postoperative day 7. There was no statistically difference in graft patency, operative parameters, and complications compared to conventional anatomosis(p>0.05). Conclusion: Despite the small number of cases, the patency rate of the coronary patch angioplasty was comparable to the conventional CABG. Coronary artery only patch angioplasty could be performed in highly selected coronary arteries.

하나의 치아가 일부 파손되어 수복되어야 할 보철물을 인레이/온레이(Inlay/Onlay)라 한다. 본 논문에서는 3차원 메쉬 기반 모델에서 보다 정확한 인레이/온레이를 효과적으로 모델링하기 위한 기법을 제안한다. 인레이/온레이는 지대치와 접하는 내면과 밖으로 들어나는 외면으로 구성된다. 인레이/온레이의 내면 모델링은 2차원 다각선상의 Minkowski Sum 알고리즘을 이용하여 지대치와의 접합력을 확보한다. 그리고 미리 데이터베이스에 저장된 표준 치아 모델, 치과의사에 의해 만들어진 FGP(functionally guided plane) 및 메쉬의 변형 기법인 DMFFD(direct manipulation free-form deformation) 기법[16]과 MWD(multiple wires deformation) 기법[24]을 이용하여 외면을 모델링한다. 데이터베이스에 저장된 표준 치아는 인레이/온레이 외면의 형태를 결정하기 위해 사용되며, FGP는 환자의 인접면과 교합면의 특성을 반영하기 위해 사용되었다. 마지막으로 3차원 메쉬의 두 변형 기법인 DMFFD와 MWD 기법은 환자의 인접면과 교합면을 반영한 치아의 형태를 만들어 내기 위해 사용된다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 인레이/온레이의 내면과 외면을 설계할 때 필요한 정보를 미리 설정하여 처리하므로 기존의 방법에 비해 짧은 시간에 보다 정확한 인레이/온레이를 설계할 수 있었다.
