The biomechanical prognosis of conventional removable partial denture is questionable in case of patient with few remaining teeth or periodontally compromised teeth. In this case, hybrid telescopic double crown RPD may be a successful treatment alternative. Hybrid telescopic double crown RPD has following advantages over conventional RPD: secondary splinting effect between abutments, more vertical stress direction and more convenient in repairing the denture after extraction of abutment tooth. In this clinical case, patient had deep overbite in anteriors and partially edentulous. The maxilla was restored with hybrid telescopic double crown RPD and the mandible was restored with implants and fixed prostheses. Long-term follow-up and supportive periodontal treatment were performed, and satisfactory results were achieved in terms of function and aesthetics.

Implant-assisted removable partial denture (IAPRD) can be considered as a simple and cost-effective treatment approach for an edentulous patient with anatomical or financial limitations. Recently, it was reported that the application of IARPD with implant supported fixed prostheses covered by the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) were increasing. This case report describes the treatment of maxillary fully edentulous patient with anterior four-implant-supported fixed prosthesis and distal extension IARPD. This treatment approach may be advantageous over maxillary implant overdentures in some circumstances. The patient was satisfied with improved function and esthetics in the anterior area and financial benefit from the NHIS. Further long-term clinical studies are needed to establish clinical validity of the treatment approach described in this case report.

Purpose: Zirconia fixed partial dentures with mandibular 2^nd premolar and 2^nd molar as abutments are fabricated and then the effects of inter-abutment distance on fracture resistance of zirconia fixed partial dentures is studied. Materials and Methods: The materials used in this study are Cameleon S zirconia block and S2 zirconia block, which are divided into CS Group and S2 Group applying different inter-abutment distance for each material, and the sintered zirconia fixed partial denture was luted to the epoxy resin die using a temporary luting cement, and then the fracture resistance was measured by placing a 6 mm diameter hardened steel ball on the occlusal surfaces of the pontics and applying pressure at a cross head speed of 1.0 mm/min on a universal testing machine with a load cell of 5.0 kN. Results: The fracture resistance of zirconia fixed partial dentures is not significantly affected by inter-abutment distance The fracture resistance of zirconia fixed partial dentures in CS Group was significantly higher in 15 mm of inter-abutment distance than in 13 mm and 17 mm of inter-abutment distance (P < 0.05). The fracture resistance of zirconia fixed partial dentures in S2 Group was not significantly different between the three groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The fracture resistance of zirconia fixed partial dentures with mandibular 2^nd premolar and 2^nd molar as abutments does not significantly affected by the inter-abutment distance.

The purpose of this study was to measure the changes of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and blood pressure (BP) in rats, following the intravenous injection of Schizandrae fructus water extract. The measurement was continually monitored by laser-doppler flowmeter and pressure tranducer in anesthetized adult Sprague-Dawley rats for 2 hours to 2 hours and a half through the data acquisition system composed of MacLab and Macintosh computer. The result of this experiment was as followed. Schizandrae fructus increased the changes of rCBF in rats significantly. The rCBF of Schizandrae fructus did not change by pretreated propranolol, atropine, L-NNA and indomethacin. But the rCBF of Schizandrae fructus was increased by pretreated methylene blue. Schizandrae fructus decreased the changes of BP, significantly. The BP of Schizandrae fructus did not change by pretreated propranolol, atropine, L-NNA and indomethacin. But the BP of Schizandrae fructus was decreased by pretreated methylene blue. There results indicated that Schizandrae fructus can increase the rCBF and decrease the BP, that is related to guanylyl cyclase activity.

Treatment options for partially edentulous patients are fixed partial denture, removable partial denture and implant supported fixed partial denture. In case of a patient with a few remaining teeth, removable partial denture and implant supported fixed prosthesis are available. For implant fixed prothesis, enough implant fixtures are required and the patient's general condition, local factors and economic status must be considered. When the condition of the abutments and the residual ridge is favorable and the prosthesis is well designed, removable partial denture can be an option. In removable partial denture, the bilateral support is important. If the teeth remain unilateral, harmful stress is put on the abutments by the fulcrum line. In this situation, strategic implantation and implant-retained or assisted removable partial denture is beneficial to the retention and support of the denture. And this can be cost-effective, functional and esthetic choice of treatment. This article describes the prosthodontic rehabilitation of Maxillary Kennedy class I partially edentulous patients. In these two cases, the patients had a small number of teeth and they were restored by the combination of a removable partial denture and dental implants.

As implant can be covered by National Health Insurance Service (NHIS), it was increased the interest in the removable partial denture (RPD) with the surveyed fixed prosthesis supported by implant fixture. To achieve predictable result, it needs the prudent implant planning by basic principles of RPD and patient's residual ridge. This 67 years old age male had a few unilateral remaining teeth, and hoped the treatment covered by NHIS. As using CAD software, the position of implant is planned with regarding to occlusal table of provisional denture, basic principles of RPD, and resorbed residual ridge. The definitive prostheses can ensure the stability and retention of removable prosthesis. When planning implant fixed prostheses, the digital technique was utilized to consider basic principle of RPD and resorbed residual ridge. As a result, it provided satisfactory prostheses.

Purpose To evaluate the incidence and condition of platysma infiltration in benign tumors, malignant tumors, and inflammatory disease in the parotid gland using CT or MRI. Materials and Methods Patients with benign tumors (n = 314), malignant tumors (n = 52), and inflammatory disease (n = 22) in the parotid gland were included. The incidence of platysma infiltration and the relationship between platysma infiltration and the location, capsular involvement, and focality of the mass were retrospectively evaluated using CT or MRI. Results The incidence of platysma infiltration was 0% in benign tumors,19.2% in malignant tumors (10/52), and 50.0% in inflammation (11/22). Platysma infiltration was positive in 10 of 13 patients with inflammatory lesion with capsular involvement. Platysmal infiltrations in inflammatory lesion showed diffuse lesion in 10 patients and focal lesion in one patient. Malignant tumor with platysmal infiltration showed all capsular involvement, and diffuse lesion in seven and focal lesion in three. Conclusion Platysma infiltration was more common in patients with inflammatory disease than those with malignant tumors or benign tumors. In inflammatory disease, platysma infiltration was more common in patients with capsular involvement or diffuse lesion.

물질전달과 열전달의 유사성을 이용하는 나프탈렌 승화법을 핵연료집합체 모델에 적용하여 봉다발에서의 국소 열전달 계수의 분포를 측정하였다. 실험 모델은 가압경수형 원자로에서 나타나는 부수로 즉, 벽면 부수로와 모서리 부수로 및 내부 부수로로 구성되는 3$\times$3 봉다발이다. 봉다발에서의 국소 열전달 계수 값은 부수로의 형상과 인접한 봉 및 벽면의 영향이 크게 작용하는 것으로 측정되었다. 내부 부수로에 둘러져 있는 봉에서의 국소 열전달계수값은 봉과 봉 사이에서는 부수로 중심 방향보다 낮았고, 평균열전달계수는 Dittus-Boelter의 상관식보다 약간 낮은 값을 보였다. 벽면 부수로에 인접한 봉에서의 열전달계수는 벽면의 영향으로 내부 부수로에 있는 봉보다 상대적으로 낮았으며, 모서리 부수로의 봉에서는 벽면의 영향이 증대되어 더욱 낮게 나타났다.

국소의치에 있어서 인공치는 기능적 관점에서와 심미적 관점에서 중요한 구성요소중의 하나이다. 구치는 저작기능을 회복시켜주며 악궁간 거리를 유지하여 주며 상실된 안모의 형태를 회복시켜준다. 전치는 저작기능의 회복뿐만 아니라 심미성을 회복시켜주며 발음 기능에 있어 중요한 역할을 한다. 이러한 인공치의 기능을 위해서는 인공치는 여러 요구조건을 갖게되는데, 무치악 공간에 잘 맞아야 하며 metal framework에 잘 맞아야 하고 깨지지 말아야 하며 마모되지 않아야 하고 유해한 작용이 없이 어떤 교합형태를 갖거나 어떤 재료로 되어 있는 치아이던지 잘 교합될 수 있어야 한다. 이러한 이상적인 인공치는 없으나 국소의치의 요구를 만족시켜줄 수 있는 여러 종류의 인공치의 이용이 가능하므로 이러한 인공치의 장점과 단점을 이해하여 국소의치 제작시 가장 적당한 인공치를 선택하여 사용하는 것이 중요하다.
