Dental endosseous implants require sufficient alveolar bone volume and quality for complete bone coverage and initial stability. But, atrophy or resorption of alveolar bone height and width according to patient's age and period of tooth loss can prevent ideal implant placement. Bone graft procedure has been proposed before or simultaneously with the placement of dental implants in patients with insufficient alveolar bone volume. While allografts, xenografts, and alloplastic bone grafts have been proposed and studied for alveolar ridge augmentation, the use of autogenous bone grafts represents the 'gold standard' for bone augmentation procedures. Conventional bone grafts are usually harvested from distant sites such as the ilium or ribs. Recently there is a growing use of intraoral bone grafts from intraoral donor sites such as mandibular symphysis, mandibular ramus and maxillary tuberosity. We recommend that the mandibular ramus is a safe autogenous bone graft donor site for bone harvesting with low morbidity. We report various effective autogenous bone graft procedures from mandibular ramus for the implant placement on various atrophic alveolar ridges.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of vitamin C deficiency on the orthodontic tooth movement and bony remodeling processes. Thirty six male guinea pigs were divided on the basis of the given amount of vitamin C (normal group: 5mg/day, deficient group: 0.2mg/day) and 75gm of force was applied to the maxillary incisors. Experimental animals were sacrificed at day 0. day 1 day 3, day 5. day 7 and day 14 after force application and the amount of tooth movement was measured and tissues were studied histologically. The results showed that the amount of collagen fiber in the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone of the deficient group was less than that of the normal group. In the stretched side. the osteoblastic activity and alveolar bone formation of the normal group increased in a time dependent manner during experimental periods, but the deficient group showed less activity and formation. The amount of tooth movement in the deficiency group was more than in the normal group at day 0. day 1, day 3, day 5, and day 7. According to the above results, a deficiency of vitamin C resulted in a defect of collagen synthesis of the periodontium and inhibition of bone formation and stimulation of bone resorption with rapid tooth movement in early periods of force application.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the material for fixed type retainer, allowing physiologic tooth movement. and proper remodeling or periodontal tissue during retention period. The Present study was Performed to observe the histologic changes of periodontal tissue after application of different types of fixed type retainer after orthodontic tooth movement in young adult dogs. For this study, 4 young adult dogs were used as a experimental animal and experimental group was divided into three groups : experimental group 1 contained right side maxillayy third incisors and canines, experimental group 2 contained contralateral teeth of same animals, and control group contained mandibular premolars. And each dogs were applied the 4 different types of fixed type retainer to experimental group 1. The experimental teeth were ligated on the Sentalloy closed coil $spring^{\circledR}$(Tomy Co., Japan) from maxillary third incisors and canines and applied orthodontic force at initial 200gm-forced during 1 week. All the experimental animals were sacrificed on the 3rd week after the orthodontic teeth movement and then the specimens were taken, fixed in formalin, embeded in parafin, sectioned $6-8{\mu}m$ in thickness and stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin staining, and Masson's trichrome staining method. Examined under the light microscopy The following results were observed. 1. There were observed that decreased infiltration of giant tells in pressure side and increased the new bone forming in tension side on the specimen of 6-stranded 0.0195' $Respond^{\circledR}$(G&H Co., U.S.A.) group. Periodontal ligament fibers were much compressed or elongated in 3-stranded 0.018', 0.020' $Dentaflex^{\circledR}$(Dentarum Co., Germany), and Superbond $C&B^{\circledR}$(Sun Medical Co., Japan) groups. 2. In experimental group 1, necrotic bone inside the alveolar bone of pressure side, forming of the sharpey's fiber in osteoid tissue, and remodeling of the periodontal ligament were observed in all animals. 3. In experimental group 2, it was observed that the amount of bone resorption was equal or decreased in pressure side, and increased new bone forming and significantly decreased infiltration of giant cell than the experimental group 1. By this results, it considered that 6-stranded $Respond^{\circledR}$(G&H Co., U.S.A.) wire was the most useful material allowing early periodontal tissue remodeling.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether cortical punching stimulates the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1, -8, and -13 in orthodontic tooth movement in rats. Methods: A total of 32 male sprague-dawley rats at 15 weeks old were divided into two groups of 16 rats each, to form the tooth movement with cortical punching (TMC) group and tooth movement only (TM) group. A total of 20 gm of orthodontic force was applied to rat incisors to cause experimental tooth movement. Cortical punching was performed on the palatal side near the central incisor with a 1.0 mm width microscrew in the TMC group. The duration of tooth movement was 1, 4, 7, and 14 days. Results: Measurements of the mRNA expression were selected as the means to determine the identification of expression of MMP-1, -8, and -13. In the TMC group, the expression of collagen type I was greater than that of the TM group from day 4 to day 14. Expression of TIMP-1 in the TM group was greater than that of the TMC group in the pressure side of PDL and alveolar bone cell at day 4. In the TMC group, TIMP-1 was expressed at the osteoclast, but not at the tooth surface of the TM group at day 14, Maximum induction of the mRNA of MMP-1 was observed on day 4 in the TMC group, but it was observed on day 7 in the TM group. MMP-8 mRNA of the TMC group was twice greater than that of the TM group at f days. In the TMC group, maximum induction of MMP-13 mRNA was observed on day 1. Conclusions: These findings suggested that cortical punching can stimulate remodeling of PDL and alveolar bone connective tissues during experimental orthodontic tooth movement in rats.

Purpose : To verify radiological changes of limb salvage operation using tumor prosthesis. Materials and Methods : Sixty-nine cases which used tumor prosthesis were reviewed. They have been followed up for average four years and nine months. We evaluated radiographs by ISOLS(International Symposium On Limb Salvage) radiological implants evaluation system immediate postoperatively, at postoperative 1 year and last follow-up. After converting 'excellent, good, fair, poor' to '4, 3, 2, 1' for stastical analysis, data were analyzed according to the use of cement, anatomical sites, diagnosis implant designs and age (<20 year vs. ${\geq}$20 year) using t-test and ANOVA. Results : The outcomes of cemented type prostheses were superior in remodelling and interface but inferior in anchorage. The scores of proximal femur and distal tibia were worse in bone remodelling. Osteosarcoma group had lower scores in anchorage and implant articular problem. There were no significant differences according to four different implant designs and age. Conclusion : In the intermediate term follow-up radiological evaluation, cemented type prosthesis were better in the aspects of bony resorption and osteolysis, and cementless one in anchorage. Distal femur and proximal tibia have higher scores in bony resorption, and osteosarcoma was worse tumor entity in anchorage and articular problem, and chemotherapy may be the cause.

An adaptive bone remodeling is simulated by using the cellular automata (CA) method. It is assumed that bone tissue consist of bone marrow, osteoclast, osteoblast cell or osteoprogenitor cell. Two types of local rule are adopted; those are the metabolism rule and adaptive bone formation rule. The metabolism rule is based on the interactions of cells and the bone formation rule is based on the adaptation against the mechanical stimulus. The history of load and memory of mechanical stimulus are also considered in the local rules. As a result, the pattern of distribution of the bone tissue is dynamically adequate and it is similar to intact cancellous bone.

Ipriflavone (IP), a non-hormonal isoflavone derivative, has been shown to interfere with bone remodeling by inhibiting bone resorption and stimulating bone formation. IP consistently increased the amount of Ca incorporated into the cell layer by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this study, we developed the novel IP loaded poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) scaffolds for the possibility of the application of the tissue engineered bone. IP/PLGA scaffo1ds were prepared by solvent casting/salt leaching method and were characterized by porosimeter, scanning electron microscopy, determination of residual salt amount, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffractometer, respectively. IP/PLGA scaffolds were implanted into the back of athymic nude mouse to observe the effect of IP on the osteoinduction compared with control PLGA scaffo1ds. Thin sections were cut from paraffin embedded tissues and histological sections were stained H&E, von Kossa, and immunohistochemical staining for Type I collagen and osteocalcin. It can be observed that the porosity was above 91.7% and the pore size was above 101 $\mu\textrm{m}$. Control scaffo1d and IP/PLGA scaffo1ds of 50% IP were implanted on the back of athymic nude mouse to observe the effect of IP on the induction of cells proliferation for 9 weeks. The evidence of calcification, osteoblast, and osteoid from the undifferentiated stem cells in the subcutaneous sites and other soft connective tissue sites having a preponderance of stem cells has been observed. From these results, it seems that IP plays an important role for bone induction in IP/PLCA scaffolds.

A six-month-old Boston terrier presented with an extruded penis caudally, incompletely formed preputial sheath, bifid scrotum, retained testicle and deformity of the os penis. On physical examination, the urethral orifice was located on the surface of the perineum and a fibrous band was observed running from the grans to the urethral orifice on the perineum. The dog also had urethritis that was infected by ascending bacteria entering through the contaminated urethral orifice. Corrective surgery was undertaken to excise the external genitalia and retained testicle. The prepuce, penis and retained testicles were successfully excised. After the urethral orifice was cleaned periodically and antibiotics were administrated, recurrent urethritis disappeared. Using this therapeutic regime it is not necessary to reconstruct the anomaly located urethral orifice, if the location of urethral orifice is not the cause of recurrent urethritis and urinary incontinence.
