Tissue regeneration is one of the ultimate goals of maxillofacial surgery and various types of tissue engineering technologies have been utilized in clinics. Healthy resources of host cells and growth factors are essential for the tissue engineering, therefore autologous blood-derived cell therapy was introduced. In this article, clinical applications of the autologous platelet concentrates and stem cell separation therapy will be summarized and evaluated for their efficacy and feasibility in the current maxillofacial clinics.

구강악안면부위의 선천성 기형은 복잡한 발생학적 과정과 연관이 있으며 비정상적인 기형을 적절한 시기에 치료하지 못할 경우 이로 인한 이차적인 기형을 유발하여 치료를 더욱 어렵게 할 수 있다. 저자 등은 우측 상악돌기 후외하방에 중복 발생된 상악돌기와 과잉치로 인하여 저작장애를 보이며, 안와, 관골 및 상하악골의 심한 안모 비대칭 소견을 보이는 악안면기형환자를 골절제와 발치, 교정치료, 관골과 안와재건술, 악교정수술 및 반흔교정술 등의 4회에 걸친 수술을 통해 심미적, 기능적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻었다. 악안면영역의 선천성 기형의 치료는 매우 난이하며 수차례의 수술을 요하고 수술 결과가 만족스럽지 못한 경우가 많으므로 사전 철저한 분석이 요구되며, 환자의 심리적 부담을 덜어주기 위한 특별한 배려가 요구된다.

보툴리눔 톡신은 신경독소로, 운동신경 말단부위에서 분비되는 아세틸콜린의 분비를 차단하여 근육의 위축을 유발하게 된다. 의학계 및 치의학계에서는 이를 이용하여 다양한 질환을 치료하는 것을 시도하고 있다. 치과영역에서는 저작근 수축, 심한 이갈이, 안면 틱, 구강안면 운동장애, 교근비대의 치료 등 과활성 근육성 질환을 치료하는 데 사용하고 있다. 악안면 영역에 보툴리눔 톡신을 주입하고 난 뒤 발생되고 있는 합병증으로는, 자연스럽지 못한 안면표정, 통증의 증가, 두통 등이 유발될 수 있다고 보고되고 있다. 본 증례에서는 교근부에 보툴리눔 톡신 주입 후 발생된 전방 개교합 증상에 대하여 보고하고자 한다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the maxillofacial injuries of the sports players' and analyzing the concerned factor. Methods : The subject in this study were 290 sports players' enrolled in Jeolla region. SPSS statistics program(Version 12.0) was used to analyzed the collectde data, Chi-square test and percentage were used as the analysis technique. Results : 1. It was found that 63.8% of all respondents ever experienced trauma in sport activities and 28.6% experienced maxillofacial trauma. 2. In terms of traumatic causality, it was found that most of our respondents attributed the biggest cause of maxillofacial trauma to 'sport activities.' 3. However, it was found that only 12.1% of all respondents gave correct answers to question items about good medical treatment for traumatic odontoptosis. 4. It was found that less than half of all respondents ever faced information on maxillofacial trauma. Conclusions : This finding suggests that it is required to build up current orientation programs about maxillofacial trauma for our sport players. The maxillofacial trauma of sport players' is a important factor that degenerate the quality of the oral health and bring about the change of life style.

Solitary plasmacytoma is a rare malignant neoplasm that originate in immunoglobulin-producing plasma cell. Solitary bone plasmacytoma can be found at any site throughout the skeleton and in most cases eventually progresses to multiple myeloma, of which it is thought to be an unusual presentation. On the other hand, extramedullary plasmacytoma has a tendency to occur in the head and neck region, mainly in association with the upper air passages. Incisional biopsy is the primary approach to make a definitive diagnosis, and immunohistochemical staining can be very helpful in understanding the nature of these tumors. We report a 66 years old patient with solitary bone plasmacytoma and a 36 years old patient with solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma with literatures review.
