The author measured the degree of development and the eruption pattern of first permanent molars with orthopantomography in 553 Korean children(male; 302, female; 251) from 4 to 9 years old. The orthopantomographs were obtained from dept. of pedodontics, college of dentistry, Seoul National University. The results of the studies were as follows: 1. Upper first permanent molars were erupted with distal inclination of about 30 degrees in the early stage and they gradually moved in the mesial direction by bodily movement of the tooth to be in contact with the disto-proximal surface of primary secondary molars in the late stage. 2. Lower first permanent molars were erupted with mesial inclination in the early stage and moved mesially by tipping movement of the tooth to be in contact with the disto proximal surface of the second primary molars in the late stage. 3. The eruptive forces were considered to be main etiologic factors of space closure after the premature loss of primary molars.

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a rare odontogenic tumor, which occurs in young children before the age of 20 years. Radiologically, it is a well-defined radiolucent lesion containing radiopaque masses. Histopathologically, AFO is composed of odontogenic epithelium in a primitive-appearing connective tissue and hard tissue consisting of enamel and dentin. It is commonly found in the mandibular posterior region. AFO may be asymptomatic and is often associated with delayed tooth eruption. As it shows similar characteristics clinically and radiologically to odontoma, differential diagnosis through histopathological examination is important. Treatment of AFO is conservative enucleation, and teeth enclosed or associated with the lesion may require extraction. In this report, 2 young patients who visited our clinic with a chief complaint of delayed eruption were diagnosed as AFO with radiological and histopathological examination. After the surgery, the healing status was found to be favorable, and no evidence of recurrence was observed.

Pressure root resorption can be observed during the eruption of permanent dentition, especially of the maxillary canines (affecting lateral incisors) and mandibular third molars (affecting mandibular second molars). Since the cause of root resorption of the adjacent affected teeth is evident, treatment simply involves extraction of the impacted tooth. However, there have been few reports on the prognosis of the remaining resorbed tooth, as dentists often choose to extract them when damage due to root resorption is observed. We report a case involving a tooth that was severely resorbed due to pressure from an adjacent impacted tooth. After extraction of the impacted tooth, the remaining tooth retained vital pulp and survived as a functional tooth.

치아 매복은 구강점막이나 악골내에서 치아의 맹출이 중지된 상태를 의미하며, 제 3대구치와 상악 견치에서 호발한다. 상악 견치의 매복은 주로 측절치가 상실되거나 왜소한 경우와 연관성이 높지만 치배의 위치 이상과 같이 유전적인 요소와도 관련될 수 있다. 매복치는 심미적, 기능적으로 여러 가지 문제점을 야기하므로 조기에 진단하여 치료하는 것이 중요하며, 매복치의 상태에 따라서 치료 방법을 적절하게 선택하여야 한다. 본 증례는 11세 여아에서 구개측으로 수평 매복된 상악 우측 견치의 치료를 보고한 것으로, 매복치는 외과적 수술을 동반한 교정적 견인 방법을 사용하여 기능적, 심미적으로 회복되었다. 견인 치료는 매복 견치의 맹출 공간을 확보하면서 이루어졌으며, 치료 종료 후 매복 견치는 치근 흡수와 같은 합병증 없이 적절한 부착치은을 확보하여 양호하게 위치되었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the postnatal development of pulpal innervation with the tooth development and eruption process in developing rat mandibular molars (postnatal 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 35day-old and adult rats). Immunohistochemical method was carried out for the detection of nerve fibers, using the antibody against calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP). The results were as follows: The feature of CGRP-IR nerve fibers were shown in a bead-like appearance. The time of nerve entering into the dental papilla of tooth follicle began at the occured advanced dentinogenesis. The development of Raschkow plexus began at the formative stage of the roots and was accelerated at the stage of the crown emerged into the oral cavity. The number of nerve fibers entering the odontoblastic layer increased with the tooth eruption and mastication. The development of innervation was shown to be related with the stage of the development of individual teeth rather than the chronological age of the rat.

적절히 치료받지 못한 유치의 치수 감염은 치근단 주위로 확산되고 그 치근단 병소는 계승 영구치의 조기 맹출, 법랑질의 저형성이나 저석회화, 발육정지 등의 합병증을 야기할 수 있다. 특히 유치의 치근단 감염은 계승치의 변위를 야기할 수 있으며, 계승 영구치배의 위치변화는 선행 유치의 치수변성으로 인한 것이 가장 많다. 본 증례보고는 하악 유구치의 치근단 병소에 의해 계승치가 변위된 경우로서, 증례 1은 하악 우측 유구치 하방의 치근단 낭에 의한 계승치의 변위가 관찰되어 유치 발치 및 조대술을 시행한 후 obturator를 장착하였고, 증례 2는 하악 우측 제2유구치 하방의 치근단 농양에 의한 계승치의 변위가 관찰되어 유치를 발거하고 공간유지장치를 장착하였다. 본 증례를 통하여 하악 유구치 치근단 병소에 의해 계승 영구치가 심한 변위을 나타낸 경우, 적절한 치료를 통해 계승 영구치의 적절한 맹출을 유도할 수 있었기에 보고하는 바이다.

Runx2는 runt gene family에 속하는 전사조절 인자로써 뼈의 형성과 골아세포의 분화에 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있다. Runx2-haploinsufficency는 쇄골의 저형성 및 두개 봉합의 지연을 특징으로 하는 쇄골두개 이형성증을 일으키며, 치아에 있어서는 법랑질의 저형성, 영구치 맹출지연 등을 보인다. 이에, 치아의 발육 및 맹출에 미치는 Runx2의 영향을 알아보기 위해 in situ hybridization 방법으로 태생 1, 4, 7, 14, 21일 된 쥐의 하악 및 제1대구치를 사용하여 실험을 실시하였다. Runx2-full length는 태생 1일과 4일에 치낭 및 그 주위조직에 보이지만 Runx2-typeII는 보이지 않았다 Runx2-full length는 태생 7일에 치관 교합면 부위의 법랑모세포에 발현하였고, 1주일 후인 태생 14일에는 백악법랑경계 상방의 치관인접면 법랑모세포에서 발현되었다. 이에 반해 Runx2-typeII는 법랑모세포에서 발현하지 않았다. 또한 태생 21일에서는 두 가지 이성질체가 모두 하악골에서 발현을 보였다 이런 결과를 종합해볼 때, Runx2-full length는 치아의 맹출과 연관이 있으며, 법랑모세포의 분화 및 이로 인한 법랑질형성에 영향을 주지만 Runx2-typeII는 하악골의 형성에만 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다.

The ectopic eruption is defined rise to be abnormal eruption, which gives to displacement of the teeth and abnormal root resorption of adjacent teeth. The ectopic eruption of first permanent molar is approximately 2-4% of the population, most of them are in the maxilla, rarely in the mandible. In the case of the second permanent molars, most of them are found in the mandible for the reason of the arch length discrepancies and large size of the teeth. The ectopic erupted molars should be treated early in order to coordinate normal growth pattern and to obtain good occlusal support. So, this should be early diagnosed and treated. But, ectopically erupting molars are often self-corrected, hence periodic follow-up is required. The methods of the treatment are largely classified into surgical, surgical-orthodontic, and orthodontic method. Especially in orthodontic method, they are divided as follows; appliances that is positioned at the contact point for unlocking and the distal movement, fixed and removable appliance that is connected to more than one tooth, and occlusion guiding method after disking or extraction of the second deciduous molar. The report presents the good results in treating patients, whose chief complaint was ectopic eruption of mandibular permanent molars.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors which might be related to mandibular third molar eruption and to predict the possibility of whether or not it will be erupted. The material of this study was lateral cephalometric radiograms, pantomograms and dental casts obtained from 70 patients (19 males, 51 females) ranging in age from 18.0 to 32.1 years. They were devided into erupted group and impacted group of mandibular third molars. For the comparison of each group, a total of 20 measurement items were employed and the data were analyzed by means of computer statistical method. As a result of this study, the following conclusion can be made; 1. The longer mandibular body length and narrower mandibular ramus width, the higher eruption tendency of the lower third molar, but the degree of genial angle was not related to mandibular third molar eruption. 2. The lower percentage of posterior mandibular body height to anterior mandibular body height, the higher eruption tendency of the lower third molar. 3. The total tooth size, including the lower second molar, appeared to be larger in the impacted group than in the erupted group of the lower third molar. 4. The arch length discrepancy of the impacted group was more severe in contrast with the erupted group of the lower third molar.
