A total of 11,039 permanent missing teeth and their 2,696 prosthetic replaced teeth in 6,123 Korean patients were selected for this study, Analyzing the data according to age, sex, jaw and the location, following results were obtained. 1. Tooth mortality and replacement were higher in female than in male. 2. Replaced teeth were only 24 percent of missing teeth. 3. More teeth were extracted and replaced on lower jaw in young patients and on upper jaw in old patients. 4. There are no significant difference in right and left sides of both jaws in missing and replaced teeth, respectively. 5. First molar was the highest percentage in both mortality and replacement. 6. Upper tooth mortality and replacement were higher in anterior portion and lower in posterior portion.

The authores had made the studies for causes of the tooth mortality. Sampling of studies was 5711 patients coming in department of oral surgery, infirmary of dental college, S.N.U. between year from 1965 to 1969. The results were obtained as follow. 1) The most freguency of tooth extraction due to inflammation and dental caries. 2) Male was heigher frequency than female due to fracture by accidental trouble.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to to analyze the effect of Type 2 diabetes on tooth mortality, implant treatment and prosthetic status. MATERIALS AND METHODS. 275 Type 2 diabetics and 300 non-diabetics, aged 40-80 years were selected for analysis. The assessment of number of teeth, missing teeth, fixed prostheses (bridge pontics), implants using panoramic radiographs and dental records were carried out. RESULTS. Diabetes mellitus (DM) patients had a higher number of missing teeth (P<.05) and placed implants (P=.074), age (P<.05), male gender percentage (P=.042), smoker percentage (P<.05) than non-DM patients. In univariate analysis, the patients in older group showed significantly higher number of tooth loss rate at the first dental examination than the patients in younger group. Tooth loss rate of smokers did not show higher value than that of non-smokers. When multiple variables including DM, age, smoking, gender were considered together, diabetics and older group patients showed significantly higher tooth loss rate at the first dental examination than non-diabetics and younger group patients, respectively. Smokers and male group did not show a significant difference than nonsmokers and female group, respectively. CONCLUSION. Tooth mortality and implant treatment rate were significantly higher in the DM group as indicated by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Old age groups showed significantly higher odds ratios and tooth loss rate. As diabetics showed the higher tooth loss rate than non-diabetics, diabetics also had more implant restorations than non-diabetics.

The main goal of periodontal treatment is the long-term maintenance of teeth. Periodic maintenance program is need to prevent periodontal disease and maintain healthy periodontium. Hirschfeld and Wasserman(1978) studied 600 treated periodontal patients. This study categorized periodontal patients using well-maintained, downhill, extreme downhill groups. The purpose of our study is to evaluate effect of periodontal treatment and analyse tooth loss after periodontal treatment using this classification. The study population of j9 patients had been treated and maintained for mean 5.8 years. All patients were on a periodic maintenance program at 2-, 3-, 4, or 6-month intends. The avenge age of the patients at the time of original therapy was 49.6 years. To analyse tooth loss, modified classification was used on the basis of response to therapy using by Hirschfeld and Wasserman in 1978. The results were as follows : 1. 59 treated patients were lost mean 1.42 teeth per patient for 5.8 years of maintenance period. 2. Maxillary first molars were most frequently lost but mandibular lateral incisors were lost no tooth during maintenance period. 3. Tooth mortality received surgical treatment had similar to received nonsurgical treatment. 4. Tooth loss was more frequent in maxillary teeth than mandibular teeth, and posterior teeth than anterior teeth, and more frequent tendency in male than female.

In this study, we investigated safety and efficacy of a low temperature immunization protocol with NNV in red spotted grouper, Epinephelus akaara and long tooth grouper, Epinephelus bruneus and seven band grouper, Hyporthodus septemfasciatus. Further, growth rate between immunized and naïve fish was evaluated during the experiment to check side effect of immunization. Three grouper species were immunized by immersion method with live NNV at 10^5.0 TCID₅₀/mL at 16.5℃ for 30 min and reared for 120 days at natural sea water temperature. To evaluate growth rate, total length and wet weight was measured 7 times after immunization. Immunized three grouper species were challenged by intramuscular inoculation with NNV at 10^4.2 TCID₅₀/100 µL/fish. Immunization at low temperature with live NNV did not show any clinical symptoms of infection, mortality and inhibition of growth. After challenge, cumulative mortality of naïve seven band grouper, red spotted grouper, long tooth grouper were 45, 10, 20 %, respectively. However no mortality was observed at immunized groupers. Thus, it was demonstrated that immunization at low temperature with live NNV are able to protect three different species of groupers without inhibition of growth.

Prior to the advent of efficacious antimicrobial agents, the mortality rate from cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) was effectively 100%. There have been very few reports of CST associated with tooth extraction. A 40-year-old female presented to the emergency room with swelling over the right side of the face and history of extraction in the upper right region by an unregistered dental practitioner. The patient presented with diplopia, periorbital ecchymosis, and chemosis of the right eye. A computed tomography scan revealed venous dilatation of the right superior ophthalmic vein. The patient was immediately treated with incision and drainage, intravenous antibiotics, and heparin (low molecular weight). Unfortunately, the patient died two days after surgery due to complications from the disease. CST is a rare disease with a high mortality rate. Therefore, dental health education in rural areas, legal action against unregistered dental practitioners, early diagnosis, and aggressive antibiotic treatment can prevent future mortality resulting from CST.

Induction of morphological deformities in Chironomus riparius larvae was assessed after exposure to 0.3, 1, 10 and 30 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ potential endocrine disruption chemicals, Diethylhexyl phtalate (DEHP). We observed and subdivide types of mentum deformities and counted the incidence of mentum deformities. The mortality was not increased according to concentrations of DEHP, while was depend on the exposed days. The incidence of mentum deformities for MLT (median lateral teeth), LT (lateral teeth), and MIX (MLT+LT) of the mentum morphological structure showed MLT (2.8$\sim$11.4%)>LT (2.8$\sim$2.9%)>MIX (2.8$\sim$3.0%). The type of mentum deformities on C. riparius was classified six groups following exposure to DEHP. The incidence rate was occupied following to tooth addition (4.3%), tooth split (2.8%), tooth deletion (2.4%), tooth fusion (1.4%), $K"{o}hn$ gap (0.5%) and abnormal shape (0.5%). Especially tooth split and tooth fusion were observed in DEHP treated conditions.
