본 증례는 유치열에 다수의 치아 우식증을 주소로 내원한 울프-허쉬호른 증후군 환자의 전신마취 하 치과치료에 대한 보고이다. WHS 환자의 특징적인 안모가 관찰되었으며, 발달지연, 정신 지체, 식이 장애 및 이로 인한 합병증 등을 보였다. WHS 환자는 다양한 전신 질환 및 선천성 기형 등을 동반할 수 있으므로, 치과 치료 시 전신적인 상태에 대한 평가가 필요하다. 또한 WHS 환자의 전신마취 시에는 기도 관리와 관련한 특별한 주의가 필요하며 치과 치료 후에도 주기적 관찰 및 지속적인 구강위생 관리 교육이 필요하다.

본 증례는 65세 남환으로, 10년 전 편도암으로 하악골이단술을 시행한 환자에서 중립대를 활용한 상하악 총의치 수복 증례이다. 본 환자는 무치악 기간이 짧아 치초제의 흡수가 거의 없으며, 혀의 운동기능에도 이상이 없었지만, 수술 이후의 변화로 인해 하악의 후구치 삼각융기가 상악의 구상절흔보다 안쪽에 위치해 있으며 하악의 구치부 치조제는 상대적으로 설측으로 돌아간 구조를 보였다. 만약 통상적으로 해부학적 지표를 참고하여 치아를 배열한다면, 혀의 기능 공간을 침범하게 되며, 이는 의치의 안정성을 저하시킬 것이다. 이런 경우 중립대 개념을 적용한 의치의 제작은 좋은 참고점이 될 수 있을 것이다. 연성 이장재를 사용하여 중립대를 인기하였으며, 이를 인덱스로 제작하여 치아배열을 시행하였다. 중립대의 가장 큰 장점은 의치의 안정을 얻는 것에 있다. 본 환자의 경우 하악 좌측 구치부가 혀 공간을 침범하지 않도록 구치 치아의 설측배열 한계를 얻기 위해 중립대 기법을 적용하였다. 특히, 치조제의 흡수로 의치의 안정성을 얻기 어려운 난증례 환자의 경우 이러한 방법을 사용한다면 의치의 안정성 면에서 더욱 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것이라 보기에 본 증례를 보고하는 바이다.

In order to achieve a successful endodontic treatment, root canals must be obturated three-dimensionally without causing any damage to apical tissues. Accurate length determination of the root canal is critical in this case. For this reason, I've used the conventional periapical radiography, Digora/sup (R)/(digital imaging system) and Root ZX/sup (R)/(the frequency dependent type apex locator) to measure the length of the canal and compare it with the true length obtained by cutting the tooth in half and measuring the length between the occlusal surface and the apical foramen. From the information obtained by these measurements, I was able to evaluate the accuracy and clinical usefulness of each systems. whether the thickness of files used in endodontic therapy has any effect on the measuring systems was also evaluated in an effort to simplify the treatment planning phase of endodontic treatment. 29 canals of 29 sound premolars were measured with #15, #20, #25 files by 3 different dentists each using the periapical radiography. Digora/sup (R)/ and Root ZX/sup (R)/. The measurements were then compared with the true length. The results were as follows: 1. In comparing mean discrepancies between measurements obtained by using periapical radiography(mean error: -0.449±0.444 mm), Digora/sup (R)/(mean error: -0.417±0.415 mm) and Root ZX/sup (R)/(mean error: 0.123±0.458 mm) with true length. periapical radiography and Digora/sup (R)/ system had statistically significant differences(p<0.05) in most cases while Root ZX/sup (R)/ showed none(p>0.05). 2. By subtracting values obtained by using periapical radiography, Digora/sup (R)/ and Root ZX/sup (R)/ from the true length and making a distribution table of their absolute values. the following analysis was possible. In the case of periapical film. 140 out of 261<53.6％) were clinically acceptable satisfying the margin of error of less than 0.5 mm. 151 out of 261 (53,6％) were acceptable in the Digora/sup (R)/ system while Root ZX/sup (R)/ had 197 out of 261(75.5％) within the limits of 0.5mm margin of error. 3. In determining whether the thickness of files has any effect on measuring methoths, no statistically significant differences were found(p>0.05). 4. In comparing data obtained from these methods in order to evaluate the difference among measuring methods, there was no statistically significant difference between periapical radiography and Digora/sup (R)/ system(p>0.05), but there was statistically significant difference between Root ZX/sup (R)/ and periapical radiography(p<0.05). Also there was statistically significant difference between Root ZX/sup (R)/ and Digora/sup (R)/ system(p<0.05). In conclusion, Root ZX/sup (R)/ was more accurate when compared with the Digora/sup (R)/ system and periapical radiography and seems to be more effective clinically in determining root canal length. But Root ZX/sup (R)/ has its limits in determining root morphology and number of roots and its accuracy becomes questionable when apical foramen is open due to unknown reasons. Therefore the combined use of Root ZX/sup (R)/ and the periapical radiography are mandatory. Digora/sup (R)/ system seems to be more effective when periapical radiographs are needed in a short period of time because of its short processing time and less exposure.

오랜 기간동안 다양한 약제를 통한 직접 치수복조술이 시도되어 왔다. 그 중 가장 보편적으로 사용된 약제는 수산화칼슘이다. 하지만 유치에서 수산화칼슘을 이용한 직접 치수복조술의 성공률은 생활치수절단술에 비해 낮다고 보고되어 왔다. 수산화칼슘의 단점으로 인해 다른 치수복조제를 찾기 위한 많은 연구가 있었으며 최근 여러 연구가들은 치수복조제로 접착용 레진의 이용을 제안하였다. 그들은 노출된 치수에 접착용 레진이 적용되었을 때 임상적 증상이 없이 염증이나 치수괴사가 없다고 주장하였다. 이 연구의 목적은 유치에서 기계적으로 노출된 생활치수에 치수복조제로써 수산화칼슘과 접착용 레진을 적용하여 단 기간동안의 예후를 비교해 보고, 또한 각각의 직접 치수복조술을 시행한 유치에 있어 생리적인 치근흡수 유무에 따른 예후의 차이를 비교해보기 위함이다. 와동형성 중 기계적으로 치수가 노출되어 생활 치수인 유치 41개를 대상으로 하였다. 그중 접착용 레진으로 치수복조제로 사용한 치아 21개를 1군으로 하였고, 수산화칼슘을 이용한 치아 20개를 2군으로 하였다. 그리고 제 1군과 2군의 치아들은 치근단방사선 소견을 통해 생리적인 치근흡수의 유무여부에 따라 다시 세분되었다. 모든 치아는 복합 레진으로 수복하였으며, 시술 3개월 후 타진반응, 냉 검사, 전기치수검사 등의 치수 생활력검사와 치근단방사선 소견으로 성공여부를 판단하였다. 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 1군과 2군 사이의 성공률에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 2. 각 군에서 생리적인 치근흡수가 없는 유치보다 있는 유치에서 성공률이 현저히 높았다. 3. 전치와 구치사이의 성공률에는 유의한 차이가 없었다.

Purpose: Lingual nerve (LN) damage may be caused by either tumor resection or injury such as wisdom tooth extraction, Although autologous nerve graft is sometimes used to repair the damaged nerve, it has the disadvantage of necessity of another operation for nerve harvesting. Moreover, the results of nerve grafting is not satisfactory. The nerve growth factor (NGF) is well-known to play a critical role in peripheral nerve regeneration and its local delivery to the injured nerve has been continuously tried to enhance nerve regeneration. However, its application has limitations like repeated administration due to short half life of 30 minutes and an in vivo delivery model must allow for direct and local delivery. The aim of this study was to construct a well-functioning $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus for the ultimate development of improved method to promote peripheral nerve regeneration with enhanced and extended secretion of hNGF from the injured nerve by injecting $rhNGF-{\beta}$ gene directly into crush-injured LN in rat model. Materials and Methods: $hNGF-{\beta}$ gene was prepared from fetal brain cDNA library and cloned into E1/E3 deleted adenoviral vector which contains green fluorescence protein (GFP) gene as a reporter. After large scale production and purification of $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus, transfection efficiency and its expression at various cells (primary cultured Schwann cells, HEK293 cells, Schwann cell lines, NIH3T3 and CRH cells) were evaluated by fluorescent microscopy, RT-PCR, ELISA, immunocytochemistry. Furthermore, the function of rhNGF-beta, which was secreted from various cells infected with $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus, was evaluated using neuritogenesis of PC-12 cells. For in vivo evaluation of efficacy of $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus, the LNs of 8-week old rats were exposed and crush-injured with a small hemostat for 10 seconds. After the injury, $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus($2{\mu}l,\;1.5{\times}10^{11}pfu$) or saline was administered into the crushed site in the experimental (n=24) and the control group (n=24), respectively. Sham operation of another group of rats (n=9) was performed without administration of either saline or adenovirus. The taste recovery and the change of fungiform papilla were studied at 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks. Each of the 6 animals was tested with different solutions (0.1M NaCl, 0.1M sucrose, 0.01M QHCl, or 0.01M HCl) by two-bottle test paradigm and the number of papilla was counted using SEM picture of tongue dorsum. LN was explored at the same interval as taste study and evaluated electro-physiologically (peak voltage and nerve conduction velocity) and histomorphometrically (axon count, myelin thickness). Results: The recombinant adenovirus vector carrying $rhNGF-{\beta}$ was constructed and confirmed by restriction endonuclease analysis and DNA sequence analysis. GFP expression was observed in 90% of $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus infected cells compared with uninfected cells. Total mRNA isolated from $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus infected cells showed strong RT-PCR band, however uninfected or LacZ recombinant adenovirus infected cells did not. NGF quantification by ELISA showed a maximal release of $18865.4{\pm}310.9pg/ml$ NGF at the 4th day and stably continued till 14 days by $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus infected Schwann cells. PC-12 cells exposed to media with $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus infected Schwann cell revealed at the same level of neurite-extension as the commercial NGF did. $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus injected experimental groups in comparison to the control group exhibited different taste preference ratio. Salty, sweet and sour taste preference ratio were significantly different after 2 weeks from the beginning of the experiment, which were similar to the sham group, but not to the control group.
