The present report presents a case of dens invaginatus (DI) in a patient with 4 maxillary incisors. A 24-year-old female complained of swelling of the maxillary left anterior region and discoloration of the maxillary left anterior tooth. The maxillary left lateral incisor (tooth #22) showed pulp necrosis and a chronic apical abscess, and a periapical X-ray demonstrated DI on bilateral maxillary central and lateral incisors. All teeth responded to a vitality test, except tooth #22. The anatomic form of tooth #22 was similar to that of tooth #12, and both teeth had lingual pits. In addition, panoramic and periapical X-rays demonstrated root canal calcification, such as pulp stones, in the maxillary canines, first and second premolars, and the mandibular incisors, canines, and first premolars bilaterally. The patient underwent root canal treatment of tooth #22 and non-vital tooth bleaching. After a temporary filling material was removed, the invaginated mass was removed using ultrasonic tips under an operating microscope. The working length was established, and the root canal was enlarged up to #50 apical size and obturated with gutta-percha and AH 26 sealer using the continuous wave of condensation technique. Finally, non-vital bleaching was performed, and the access cavity was filled with composite resin.

저인산혈증성 구루병은 구루병 중에서 보통 용량의 비타민 D 투약 치료에 반응하지 않는 형태로, 성염색체 우성 유전되며, 신세관에서 유기인의 재흡수가 감소되어 생기는 것으로 생각된다. 따라서, 저인산혈증이 특징적 소견이며, 혈청 내 알카리성 인산효소 활성이 증가되어 있고, 혈청 칼슘 농도는 보통 정상 범주에 속한다. 치과적 소견으로 특징적인 것은 임상적으로 건전한 치아에서 나타나는 다수의 자발적 치근단 농양과 농루이며, 치아의 맹출지연과 법랑질 저형성증도 관찰할 수 있다. 치과 방사선적으로는 치수각이 현저히 신장되어 있고, 때로는 상아법랑경계까지 연장되어 있으며, 치아주위 치조백선의 약화나 상실, 비정상적 치조골 소주 양상을 관찰할 수 있다. 본 환아는 저인산혈증성 구루병으로 진단되어 투약 치료 중이며, 구강검사 결과 특징적 치과소견인 다수의 자발적 치근단농양과 농루, 치수각의 현저한 신장 및 치아 맹출지연이 관찰되어 이의 구강 및 방사선 소견에 대해 보고하는 바이다.

Objective. The objective of this international comparative study was to investigate the clinical features and outcome of the treatment of infratemporal fossa abscess (IFA). Study design. This retrospective study was conducted at the Deptartment of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Hallym University and "Iuliu Hatieganu" University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Ten-year records of patients were reviewed in Romania and six-year records were reviewed in Korea. The collected data was then analyzed. Results. A total of 36 cases were found to be IFA (12 males and 24 females: average age; $36.3{\pm}15.5$ yrs: 34 cases from Romania and 2 cases from Korea). The annual frequency of IFA in Romanian and Korean hospitals was 3.40 and 0.33 respectively (P<0.001). The etiology was septic anesthesia (33.3%), infection occurring after extraction (30.6%), periapical lesion (13.9%), impacted third molar (8.3%), post-extraction alveolitis (5.6%), and unknown (8.3%). A successful outcome was seen in 27 patients (75.0%) after initial treatment. The main complication after initial treatment was restricted movement of the mouth (9 cases). Conclusion. The etiology of IFA was various and minimal swelling hampered early diagnosis. To prevent IFA, preoperative painting with antiseptic agent must be stressed and proper drainage proved important to relieve pain and to prevent further complications.

애완 토끼의 치아는 정교하게 배열되고 정렬되어 서로 마모되면서 그 형태와 교합을 유지한다. 어떠한 요소이던 치아의 위치를 변화시키는 요소는 비록 작은 부분이라고 하더라도 부정교합을 일으키고 크라운의 과잉성장을 야기한다. 토끼의 후천적 치아질환과 부정교합은 치아 뿌리의 성장을 특징으로 한다. 이러한 현상은 애완토끼에게서 흔히 발생한다. 정상위치를 벗어난 치아 뿌리는 두개골을 관통하여 농양을 형성한다. 치아문제와 관련된 임상증상으로는 식욕저하, 유연, 치근농양, 과도한 눈물분비가 있다. 임상증상이 나타난 토끼들에게는 치신경 치료가 필요하다. 이 논문은 통증, 식욕부진, 유연, 과도한 눈물분비, 누낭염 증상으로 치신경 치료를 받은 토끼들의 외과적 절차와 수술후 회복과정을 간략하게 서술하였다. 31케이스 중 후천적 치아질환을 치료하기 위해 10마리의 토끼는 치신경 치료를 받았다. 치신경 치료는 치아 뿌리의 성장을 영구적으로 해결하기 위한 방법이다. Root canal 의 치수 조직을 제거한 후 식염수로 세척하였다. 이후 Guatta percha points와 IRM으로 치수강을 채웠다. 치신경 치료 후 10개중 8개의 케이스에서 예후가 좋았고, 토끼 보호자분들의 수술후 관리가 양호하였다. 본 결과를 통하여 하악 어금니의 치아 뿌리가 과잉성장한 케이스에서 치신경 치료가 수행될 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Navigation of the main root canal and dealing with a dens invaginatus (DI) is a challenging task in clinical practice. Recently, the guided endodontics technique has become an alternative method for accessing root canals, surgical cavities, and calcified root canals without causing iatrogenic damage to tissue. In this case report, the use of the guided endodontics technique for two maxillary lateral incisors with multiple DIs is described. A 16-year-old female patient was referred with the chief complaint of pain and discoloured upper front teeth. Based on clinical and radiographic findings, a diagnosis of pulp necrosis and chronic periapical abscess associated with double DI (Oehler's type II) was established for the upper left lateral maxillary incisor (tooth #22). Root canal treatment and the sealing of double DI with mineral trioxide aggregate was planned for tooth #22. For tooth #12 (Oehler's type II), preventive sealing of the DI was planned. Minimally invasive access to the double DI and the main root canal of tooth #22, and to the DI of tooth #12, was achieved using the guided endodontics technique. This technique can be a valuable tool because it reduces chair-time and, more importantly, the risk of iatrogenic damage to the tooth structure.

Apical surgery for a mandibular molar is still challenging for many reasons. This report describes the applications of computer-guided cortical 'bone-window technique' using piezoelectric saws that prevented any nerve damage in performing endodontic microsurgery of a mandibular molar. A 49-year-old woman presented with gumboil on tooth #36 (previously endodontically treated tooth) and was diagnosed with chronic apical abscess. Periapical lesions were confirmed using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Endodontic microsurgery for the mesial and distal roots of tooth #36 was planned. Following the transfer of data of the CBCT images and the scanned cast to an implant surgical planning program, data from both devices were merged. A surgical stent was designed, on the superimposed three-dimensional model, to guide the preparation of a cortical window on the buccal side of tooth #36. Endodontic microsurgery was performed with a printed surgical template. Minimal osteotomy was required and preservation of the buccal cortical plate rendered this endodontic surgery less traumatic. No postoperative complications such as mental nerve damage were reported. Window technique guided by a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture based surgical template can be considerably useful in endodontic microsurgery in complicated cases.

X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets(이하 XLH로 기술)는 구루병의 일종으로 임상적으로는 비타민 D의 대량 투여로도 개선되지 않고 성염색체 우성 유전되는 유전성 질환이다. 저인산혈증성 구루병, 비타민 D저항성 구루병이라고도 불린다. 본 증례는 서울대학교병원 소아과에서 XLH로 진단받은 6세 6개월의 여아로, 상악 좌측 중절치의 매복을 주소로 소아치과에 의뢰된 환자이다. 환아는 XLH환자에서 전형적으로 보이는 보행 장애, 다리의 휨현상 작은 키, 손목, 무릎, 발목 관절의 종창 등이 관찰되었다. 또 치과적 특징으로 임상적으로 건전한 치아에서 자발적인 치근단 농양과 농루가 발생하였고 치아의 맹출 지연, 우상치 (taurodontism), 근단공의 폐쇄 지연, 확대된 치수강 등을 나타내었기에 이전 문헌 고찰을 통하여 XLH 환아의 특징을 살펴보고 본 환자의 의과적, 치과적 특성 및 매복된 치아의 치료에 대하여 보고하는 바이다.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the vitality of the teeth in and adjacent to the mandibular fracture line according to variable conditions of fracture and to establish the protocol of treatment of fracture line teeth. Materials and Methods : The vitality of 97 teeth in fracture line and 104 teeth adjacent to fracture line of 52 patients were invested preoperatively. Of these, 66 teeth in fracture line and 72 teeth adjacent to fracture line were monitored at least 6 months after operation. An electric pulp tester was used to measure pulpal response. The relationships between the vitality of teeth in variable time(preoperation, immediate post-operation; within 1 week after operation, and 6 months after operation) and variable conditions of fracture(horizontal, vertical gap of fracture line, the number of fracture line)were evaluated statistically. Result : The vitality of fracture line teeth in the 6 months after operation statistically differed by the vertical gap of fracture line and the number of fracture line. The vitality of fracture line adjacent teeth in the immediate post-operation only statistically differed by the vertical gap of fracture line. There were statistically differences between preoperative EPT value and vitality of fracture line teeth on 6 months after operation. There were 5 cases of complications including periapical and periodontal abscess. Of these, only one tooth was extracted and the others were well treated with endodontic treatment and subgingival curettage. Conclusion : It is recommended to retain teeth and to monitor the vitality of teeth in and adjacent to fracture line, unless there is an absolute indication for extraction.
