The functional deformity following removal of the maxilla is considerable, especially following maxilla cancer excision. Rehabilitation of oral and maxillofacial region used to be very difficult with prosthesis or traditional flaps. Temporal muscle and fascia flaps have been described for immediate reconstruction following hemi-maxillectomy, but not total maxillectomy. The muscle and superficial fascia of the temporal area differ in their physical characteristics, vascular supply and clinical applications. Both can be employed independently or simultaneously as regional flaps in the reconstruction of a variety of complex craniofacial defects. Four case is presented in which 3 case maxilla cancer, one case non-union after maxilla fracture, and all case showed successful use of this flap. Only one patient developed partial necrosis of the flap ; significant necrosis did not occur in any other patient. This present paper reviews the anatomy, surgical technique and utilisation of temporal muscle and fascia flaps.

상악골 절제술을 받은 환자는 구개부의 결손으로 인해 연하, 저작, 발음 기능이 심각하게 손상되는데, 식사 시 비강과 코를 통한 누출이 있게 되고, 치아 및 치조제의 소실로 저작이 어려워지며, 구강과 비강이 분리되지 않아 과비음이 발생하는 등 삶의 질이 현저히 저하된다. 결손부를 보철적으로 재건하기 위해서는 폐색장치의 무게를 최대한 줄여 중력에 의한 탈락을 최소화하고, 폐색장치의 bulb를 결손부 내로 적절히 연장시켜 부가적인 유지, 안정을 얻도록 해야 한다. 본 증례는 종양의 재발로 인해 추가적인 상악골 절제를 받은 부분 무치악 환자에서 가철성 국소의치의 기본적인 설계 원칙을 적용하여 금속 구조물을 디자인하고, 기능 인상을 통해 유지, 안정, 지지를 향상시킨 폐색장치를 제작하였다. 환자는 개선된 안모 및 저작, 연하, 발음 기능 향상에 만족하였고, 경과관찰 기간 동안 안정적인 교합 및 구강위생관리를 보여 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Maxillary defects are a result of necessary cancer surgery, congenital anomaly or trauma. Ideally the patient with the aquired maxillary defect should be provided with an obturator prosthesis that is comfortable, restores adequate speech, deglutition, and mastication, and is acceptable cosmetically. This is a case report of open type hollow obturator delivered in the partial maxillectomy treated patient. The satisfied result obtained as follows: The open type hollow obturator has the advantage of easy fabrication, lightness, easy cleaning and restores adquate speech.

Primary intraosseous carcinoma(PIOC) is defined as a squamous cell carcinoma arising within the jaw, having no initial connection with the oral mucosa. The squamous cell carcinoma within the bone can be presumably developed from residues of the odontogenic epithelium, therefore, it is seen in the jaw only. Metastatic carcinoma from another primary site should be excluded in the diagnosis of Primary Intraosseous Carcinoma. This is a case of 62-year-old man, who initially diagnosed as odontogenic cyst on maxilla, but its pathologic examination was diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma with odontogenic cyst. We treated this patient with partial maxillectomy, modified radical neck dissection(mRND), and postoperative radiation therapy.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common type of malignant neoplasm in the minor salivary gland. The hard palate is a frequently involved site of MEC. The treatment of low-grade MEC on the hard palate is wide local resection with a tumor-free margin. In the present case, the maxillary defect was reconstructed using a buccal fat pad (BFP) flap, followed by application of 4-hexylresorcinol (4HR) ointment for 2 weeks. The grafted BFP successfully covered the tumor resection defect without tension and demonstrated complete re-epithelialization without any complications.

The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and therapeutic outcomes of canine oral tumors in Korea. Medical records of dogs presented with oral tumor at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University from 2002 to 2007 were reviewed. The predominant breeds were Yorkshire terrier (n=14), miniature poodle (n=7), Shih Tzu (n=6), and maltese (n=4), in order. The mean age at onset was $10.0{\pm}3.8$ years. The most common tumor types included fibrous epulis (n=13), malignant melanoma (n=12), acanthomatous epulis (n=4), and squamous cell carcinoma (n=3). Surgical removal was performed in 29 cases; simple excision in 18 cases, partial mandibulectomy in 8 cases, and partial maxillectomy in 3 dogs. Outcomes of surgery were various according to the tumor types. Prognosis of dogs with fibrous epulis and acanthomatous epulis was good and that of dogs with malignant melanoma was poor.

무치악환자의 Implant보철수복 방법은 식립된 Implan의 수에 따라 다양하다. 많은 수의 Implant가 식립된 경우에는 고정성 보철물로 수복이 가능하지만 시술이나 기공상의 복잡성, 고가의 치료비, 보철물과 잔존치조제사이의 빈 공간으로 인한 비심미성, 발음의 어려움과 같은 여러 가지 문제점이 존재한다. 적은 수의 Implant가 식립된 경우는 Bar Retained Overdenture를 사용하지만 역시 기공과정이 복잡하며, Bar와 잔존치조제사이의 공간으로 인한 점막지지 면적의 감소와 보수가 어려운 단점이 있다. 여기에 비해서 O-ring Attachment를 이용하면 기공과정이 쉽고, 잔존치조제와 보철물 사이에 공간이 없으므로 점막지지 면적을 많이 얻을 수 있다. 또한 Implant식립의 수도 최소화할 수 있어 경제적이며, 문제가 발생한 경우에 쉽게 대처할 수 있는 장점을 지니고 있다. 본 증례들은 Steri-Oss Implant System의 O-ring Attachment를 이용하여 무치악환자를 보철 수복한 예로서 술후 기능적, 심미적으로 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 문헌고찰과 더불어 발표하는 바이다.

The major manifestations of aplastic anemia are characterized by persistent bone marrow aplasia and peripheral pancytopenia due to defective stem cells in which differentiation is not curtailed or preferential elimination of stem cells with self-renewal capacity, which results in serious complications such as bleeding and infection. Recent advances in the therapeutic modalities, such as bone marrow transplantation and immunosuppressive therapy, and in supportive measures as component transfusion and infection control with better quality of antibiotics resulted in an improved survival and subsequently increased possibility of complications which need surgical intervention. Considering the fact that surgery may not only control complications, but offers the opportunity to give effective therapy for aplastic anemia and therefore improves chances for survival, it is strongly suggested that active surgical intervention should be performed. We report a case of patient with aplastic anemia who had been performed surgical intervention of partial maxillectomy for the squamous cell carcinoma on maxilla without serious complications during perioperative and postoperative period.

Recently, the population of patients who refuse transfusion has increased for both religious and non-religious reasons, even in life threatening emergency situations. Their refusal has highlighted the need to develop nonblood transfusion surgery techniques to decrease the risk from blood transfusions. A 57-year woman with an ulcerative lesion on the gingiva of the right upper molar area visited the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery in Dankook University Dental Hospital. After a preliminary evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma. As she refused blood transfusion during surgery for religious reasons, surgery was planned using recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) without a blood transfusion. The patient underwent a partial maxillectomy, supraomohyoid neck dissection, free radial forearm flap and split thickness skin graft under general anesthesia. rHuEPO and iron were used before and after surgery. The hemoglobin/hematocrit (Hb/Hct) level, iron (Fe) and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) were assessed. The patient recovered completely without any blood transfusions. rHuEPO is a viable alternative for patients with religious objections to receiving blood transfusions.

We reviewed retrospectively 152 patients' records with salivary gland tumors confirmed histologically at Hanyang University Hospital from Jan. 1984 to Dec. 1993. The results obtained were as follows: 1) Sites of tumors were parotid gland in 102 cases(67%), submandibular gland in 29 cases(19%) and minor salivary glands in 21 cases (14%). 2) 113 cases(74%) were benign. and 39 cases(26%) were malignant. 3) The incidence of benign and malignant tumors were 81% & 19%, 69% & 31% and 48% & 52% in the parotid gland, the submandibular gland and the minor salivary glands respectively. 4) The most frequent histologic types of benign and malignant tumors were pleomorphic adenoma (64%) and mucoepidermoid carcinoma (11%) respectively. 5) The surgical procedures include superficial parotidectomy. total parotidectomy. extended total parotidectomy & neck dissection in the parotid gland. wide excision & neck dissection in the submandibular gland and wide excision, partial maxillectomy & neck dissection in the minor salivary glands. 6) The postoperative recurrence rate were 4.4% in benign tumors and 27% in malignant tumors.
