  • The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship of radiographic lesion size, gender, age of patients and radiographic character to the diagnosis of periapical cyst and granuloma. The data was collected from 187 periapical lesions of 167 patients who undergone apical surgery at Department of Conservative Dentistry, Seoul National University Dental Hospital from 2003 to 2005. The lesion were surgically removed and send for biopsy to the Oral Pathology Laboratory. From the initial radiograph, lesion size was calculated using $PiViewSTAR^{(R)}$ (INFINITT, Korea) program. The obtained data were statistically evaluated using SPSS (p<0.05). The result were as followings: 1. From 187 biopsy samples, the incidence of periapical cyst was 28.34% and granuloma was 65.24%. 2. There was a significant correlation between periapical cyst and the size of radiographic lesion (p<0.01). 3. There were no significant correlations between age, gender, location of lesion and the final diagnosis (p>0.05). 4. There was a significant correlation between the non-demarcation of the lesion and the incidence of periapical granuloma (p<0.01).

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristic features of the cells and tissues of the chronic periapical lesions using light microscope and electron microscope. Fifteen dental periapical lesions were obtained from the patients undergoing periapical surgery. Each specimen was divided into two parts along the tooth axis. One part was routinely processed for histopathologic examinations. 12 periapical lesions were diagnosed as granuloma and 3 periapical specimens as periapical cyst. The other part was fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in 0.1M sodium cacodylate buffer at pH 7.4 and 1% osmic acid in same buffer. They were embedded in Epon 812. The semithin sections were used for the orientation of the lesions and the ultrathin sections were stained conventionally and examined with AEI Corynth 500 electron microscope. The results were as follows. 1. PMN and macrophages, which were dominant cell type, were scattered in small or large numbers throughout the central destructive area of granuloma. In the granulomatous area, plasma cells and lymphoytes were found in significant number and a lot of new capillary formation were revealed. Clefts caused by cholesterol were often seen in the connective tissue. Occasionally foam cells became collected in groups and epithelial proliferation were present. 2. In both granuloma and cyst, some plasma cells contained narrow cisternae of granular endoplasmic reticulum of which was tightly packed with electron dense materials, and other cells exhibited dilated profiles of granular endoplasmic reticulum. 3. In the area where plasma cells and lymphocytes were collected in groups, lymphocytes with well developed nucleolus and profuse cytoplasm were found and differentiating plasma cells were also present. 4. In the epithelial strands of the granulomatous area, epithelial cells contained enlarged endoplasmic reticulum, tonofilaments and ribosoms. Toward the intercellular space epithelial cells protruded a few microvilli. In the intercellular space, exudate-like electron dense materials, most of which was attached to the plasma membrane, appeared. 5. Some foam cells filled with numerous lipid droplets and others had lipid droplets and crystal-like structures. 6. Cyst epithelium consisted of bright cells and dark cells. The former had bright cytoplasm and small amounts of ribosoms, and the latter dark cytoplasm, many ribosoms, mitochondria and elongated microvilli. 7. Epithelial cells near the cyst lumen protruded a lot of long microvilli toward intercellular space and cyst lumen.

  • Esthetics is important in restoring maxillary anterior area. Alveolar bone resorption and loss of interdental papilla may be minimized by immediate implantation. Previous studies showed successful results with the immediate implantation in healthy extraction socket, while many of these studies objected the immediate implantation into extraction sites with periapical lesions. Recent studies, however, reported successful results of the immediate implantation into extraction sites with periapical lesions with careful debridement of extraction sockets and general medication of antibiotics prior to implantation. A 73-year-old female visited the department of Prosthodontics in ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ University Dental Hospital with the chief complaint of fallen post-core and crown on left maxillary incisor. Although the incisor was with vertical root fracture and periapical lesion, the immediate implantation following the extraction of tooth was planned. Thorough socket debridement, irrigation with chlorhexidine, and tetracycline soaking were followed by immediate implantation. The general medication of antibiotics (Moxicle Tab.$^{(R)}$, 375 mg) was prescribed before and after the surgery. Immediate provisional restoration was delivered two days after the surgery, and the definitive metal-ceramic restoration was placed about six months later after reproducing the emergence profile from the provisional restoration. This case presents satisfying result esthetically and functionally upto two years after the placement of prosthesis with the harmonious gingival line and no loss of marginal bone.

  • The endodontic-periodontic combined lesions have been difficult to get correct diagnosis and predictable treatment. This study was to make the experimental endodontic-periodontic combined defects in dogs for the study of the periodontal regeneration and to evaluate the efficacy of the enamel matrix protein and e-PTFE membrane in the experimental endodontic-periodontic combined defects. 5 mongrel dogs were used. The pulp chambers were opened and the plaque was inserted into the chambers to induce the periapical lesions on the mandibular second, third and fourth premolars of the dogs. 1 month later, the root canal treatments were done with gutta perch a and ZOE sealer. On the day of surgery, the periapical defects were standardized by trephine bur. The buccal dehiscence defects were made by the dental bur and bone chisels. The apicoectomy with retrofilling was done. The prepared roots were randomly selected for test and control groups. In the experimental groups, the enamel matrix derivative and e-PTFE membrane were used. Nothing was placed on the control group. Fluroscent labelling was used to evaluate the bone formation. After 4 and 12 weeks, the dogs were sacrificed and undecalcified sections were prepared and stained with toluidine blue. Those histologic sections were examined by fluorescent microscopy and light microscopy. The results were as follows. 1. In the control group, new bone was formed in the periapical defects and scarcely in the buccal dehiscence defects. New cementum was not detected at 4 and 12 weeks. 2. In the experimental groups, new bone, new cementum and periodontal ligament were found in the periapical and buccal dehiscence defects. The relative amount and the quality of the new bone, new cementum and periodontal ligament tissue that had formed on the experimental groups were superior to those of the control group. 3. The current observation implicated that e-PTFE membrane and enamel matrix protein could be the effective tools for the guided tissue regeneration of the endo-perio combined defects.

  • PURPOSE. Early loading of implant can be determined by excellent primary stability and characteristic of implant surface. The implant system with recently improved surface can have load application 4-6 weeks after installing in maxilla and mandible. This study evaluated the effect of healing period to the stability of hydrophilic tapered-type implant at maxillary posterior area. MATERIALS AND METHODS. This study included 30 patients treated by hydrophilic tapered-type implants (total 41 implants at maxilla) and classified by two groups depending on healing period. Group 1 (11 patients, 15 implants) was a control group and the healing period was 12 weeks, and Group 2 (19 patients, 26 implants) was test group and the healing period was 6 weeks. Immediately after implant placement, at the first impression taking, implant stability was measured using Osstell Mentor. The patients also took periapical radiographs after restoration delivery, 12 months after restoration and final followup period. The marginal bone loss around the implants was measured using the periapical radiographs. RESULTS. All implants were survived and success rate was 97.56%. The marginal bone loss was less than 1mm after 1 year postoperatively except the one implant. The stabilities of the implants were not correlated with age, healing period until loading, insertion torque (IT), the diameter of fixture and the location of implant. Only the quality of bone in group 2 (6 week) was correlated with the stability of implant. CONCLUSION. Healing period of 6 weeks can make the similar clinical prognosis of implants to that of healing period of 12 weeks if bone quality is carefully considered in case of early loading.

  • This is a case report of first branchial cleft cyst in 56 year old male patient, which was tentatively diagnosed as acute right submandibular abscess resulted from the periapical lesion of the lower right second molar. The results are as follows, 1. The accompanying ipsilateral inflammatory swelling resulted from the periapical lesion of lower right second molar tooth makes the diagnosis difficult. 2. The onset of this case was very late in comparison to the mean discovering age of branchial cleft cysts. 3. The plain radiography using contrast media is helpful for the diagnosis of cystic lesions within soft tissues. 4. This case in a first branchial cleft cyst(Type I) which occurs less than 1% of all branchial cleft anomalies.

  • This study describes 6 cases of endodontic overfilling with successful clinical outcomes during long-term (up to 35 years) radiographic follow-up. Successful endodontic treatment depends on proper shaping, disinfection, and obturation of root canals. Filling materials should completely fill the root canal space without exceeding the anatomical apex. Overfilling may occur when the filling material extrudes into the periapical tissues beyond the apex. The present case series describes 6 root canal treatments in which overfilling of root canal sealer and gutta-percha accidentally occurred. Patients' teeth were periodically checked with periapical radiographs in order to evaluate the outcomes during long-term follow-up. All cases showed healing and progressive resorption of the extruded materials in the periapex. The present cases showed that if a 3-dimensional seal was present at the apical level, overfilling did not negatively affect the long-term outcomes of root canal treatment.

  • Due to their rarity and the lack of associated dental symptoms, odontogenic cutaneous sinus tracts (OCSTs) are often misdiagnosed and confused with cutaneous lesions or non-odontogenic infections. It has been estimated that 50% of individuals affected by OCSTs are subjected to inappropriate treatments before the correct diagnosis is established. We describe the diagnosis and treatment of two cases of OCSTs. By using a computed tomography (CT) with soft tissue window setting, the extent of cortical bone destruction and the path of the sinus tract in the soft tissue was easily identified. Thus, we recommend the use of imaging techniques such as CT, which can confirm the odontogenic origin and the exact location of the OCST.

  • This clinical study was made of 214 cases of the jaw cysts which were diagnosed histopathologically in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Wonkwang University Dental Hospital from Jan. 1, 1991 to Dec. 31, 1998. Medical records, radiographs, histopathological reports of 214 cases with jaw cysts were retrospectively reviewed. The results were as follows : 1. Among the total patient of 214 cases, male were 143 cases, and female are 71 cases, male predominated by the ratio of 2.04. 2. The periapical cysts and the dentigerous cyst are the most common cyst, irrespective of 116 cases(54.2%) and 58 cases(27.1%). 3. The periapical cyst has no gender prediction, male were 70 cases and female were 54 cases, the mean ages were 39.3 years(SD=18.4). The most common involving teeth were maxillary anterior teeth(59.7%). 4. The dentigerous cyst predominantly occurred in third decade (18 cases : 31%), and the mean ages were 31.9 years(SD=14.8). Dentigerous cysts predominantly occurred in male by the ratio of 7.29 (male : 51 cases, female : 7 cases). Maxillary anterior teeth(43.1%) and mandibular molars(32.8%) were most frequently involved. 5. The odontogenic keratocyst predominantly occurred in second and third decade and mean ages were 23.5 years(SD=17.2). The mandibular molars(60%) were most frequently involved. 6. All nasopalatine cyst occurred after fourth decade, mean ages were 49.5years(SD=10.4). In the gender incidence of nasopalatine cyst, 1 case occurred in female and 10 cases occurred in male. 7. In the surgical intervention of jaw cyst, cyst enucleation and marsupialization performed in 156 cases. Cyst enucleation with bone graft performed in 58 cases and iliac autogenous bone grafts most frequently performed in 29cases. 8. The diameter range of cyst enucleation with bone graft were from 15mm to 120mm with a cyst diameter of 33.3mm. (SD=15.2) The diameter range of cyst enucleation and marsupialization were from 7mm to 82mm with a cyst diameter of 20.4mm.(SD=9.0) The diameter of cyst enucleation with bone graft were significantly greater than diameter of cyst enucleation. (p<0.05) 9. Post-operative complications occurred in 9 cases(15.5%) in which cyst enucleation with bone grafts performed and occurred in 31 cases(19.9%) in which cyst enucleation.
