This study investigated the dental prosthesis condition from the sixth primitive data of Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to analyze and compare the necessity of existent dental prosthesis condition, dental bridge and dentures in order to determine the real oral health condition by educational level targeting adults aged over 20 years old. From the results, based on demographic-sociologic features, 32.2% of females were under elementary school graduation level, which was lower than males, and the educational level decreased with increasing age, and these trends were statistically significant. As for income level, 45.3% of university graduates had the highest income level and 77.4% of this age group were professionals, which was the highest percentage and was statistically significant. In terms of dental prosthesis condition according to educational level, the under elementary school graduation group had the most dental prosthesis and the greatest need for partial dentures and full dentures. As for the necessary number of fixed implants, the upper jaw had the most number of fixed implants and in the lower jaw, the under middle school graduation needed the most fixed implants.

The major court rulings delivered in 2017 include the ruling that separated the legal character of denture production agreement signed together with medical care agreement and found a subcontracting dimension in the former, and the ruling that overcame the limitations of the theory of entire appearance of a fetus as discussed in civil law by using the legal principle of insurance which suggests that unborn child insurance takes effect after the contract is signed and the first installment of the premium is paid in. As more court rulings find the medical specialists responsible for accidents and injuries from drugs, some argue that medication counseling by the druggist who makes and dispenses drugs should be upgraded. And with respect to a court ruling that denied the hospital's responsibility for an infection-involving accident even if there were no records on specific measures taken in infection management, some criticized the court for being too conservative in recognizing responsibilities. And with respect to infectious disease management, some criticized the court for its interpretation and application of the facts in the direction of denying the negligence. In addition, some claimed that it is necessary to establish institutional system for hospital infection control and its aid for victims, and to improve the system including the reversal of the burden of proof given the special nature of hospital infections. A number of rulings on the duty to disclose included the one which stated that the specific matter did not require a doctor's explanation as it was explained or the specific medical service would have been performed even if no explanation had been given. There was a greatly controversial ruling over the scope of indemnification, which accepted the occurrence of multiple scars and deformation as disorders while regarding breast as a thoracic organ. And a Supreme Court ruling over interpreting Medical Service Act was criticized as overstepping the boundary allowed in the law.

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.

This study aims to suggest and test methods using an orally inserted guiding device in order to improve a motion artifact by involuntary oral motor such as removing one's dentures and swallowing saliva clinically structured cervical spine scan and to make the optimal image by minimizing motion artifact. A cervical spine test was conducted with 30 patients who wore dentures among those who had a cervical spinal disease from January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014. As for testing methods, after removing denture, T1-TSE-Sagittal, T2-TSE-Sagittal, T1-TSE-Axial and T2-TSE-Axial were obtained in a normal position and a supine position; the orally inserted guiding device was inserted in patients' mouth; and then T1-TSE-Axial and T2-TSE-Axial were retested. As a result, in SNR, T1-TSE-Axial before inserting an orally inserted guiding device was $22.33{\pm}8.59$; T1-TSE-Axial after inserting the orally inserted guiding device was $25.21{\pm}7.93$; T2-TSE-Axial before inserting the orally inserted guiding device was $14.49{\pm}5.74$; and T2-TSE-Axial after inserting the orally inserted guiding device was $16.61{\pm}6.72$. In CNR, T1-TSE-Axial was measured at $0.23{\pm}0.01$ while T2-TSE-Axial at $0.21{\pm}0.01$. As a result of the qualitative analysis, T1-TSE-Axial before inserting the orally inserted guiding device was $3.49{\pm}0.11$; T1-TSE-Axial after inserting the orally inserted guiding device was $3.95{\pm}0.14$; T2-TSE-Axial before inserting the orally inserted guiding device was $3.25{\pm}0.18$; and T2-TSE-Axial after inserting the orally inserted guiding device was $3.68{\pm}0.09$. As a result of using an orally inserted guiding device, the resolution and contrast of the images improved as the patients' involuntary artifact decreased because of removing dentures and swallowing saliva, and it was found that the interpretation of the images and identification of the diseases improved.

The retention of complete dentures in patients with Parkinson's disease is often poor due to their constant dislodgement by involuntary movements of the tongue and lips. Furthermore, insertion of the overdenture is expected to be difficult due to their limited voluntary movements. This case is about the bimaxillary overdenture restoration where its retention and stability are improved, using magnetic attachment of remained roots of maxilla and two implant $Locator^{(R)}$ attachments of mandible in patients with Parkinson's disease. This report describes the fabrication of this functionally improved prosthesis.

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy used on pediatric oncology patients often causes dentofacial anomalies. Defects noted include tooth and root agenesis, root thinning, root shortening, localized enamel defect and maxillofacial underdevelopment. The effect of radiotherapy usually is confined to the radiation site but the effect of chemotherapy may be more wide spread becuase of its systemic distribution. Many pediatric cancers are treated with a combination of radiation and multiagent chemotherapy. Dental treatment affected by chemotherapy and radiation therapy damage to developing teeth and maxilloface includes retention of teeth, space maintenance, prosthetic considerations, requirements for oral hygiene. The following case related to multiple rootless teeth.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the oral health status of elderly under visiting health care and their oral health-related quality of life. The subjects were 300 elderly under visiting health care program over 65 years old in Asan city and they were interviewed. The result showed that average Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) score was 37.36 and the lowest scored question was 'never satisfied with the oral condition'. In GOHAI related to oral health behaviors, unmet dental treatment experience was statistically significant (p<0.001). In overall GOHAI, number of remaining teeth (p<0.001) and the age had statistical significance and men had higher score in pain and discomfort (p<0.05), under age of 74 limited function factors score was high (p<0.01). The number of remaining teeth had statistical significances in most factors except pain and discomfort (p<0.001). The factors affecting GOHAI were age (p<0.05), number of remaining teeth (p<0.001) and perceived health state (p<0.001). In order to improve oral health-related quality of life of elderly receiving visiting oral health care services, it is necessary to increase denture support by securing budgets and developing oral health promotion programs at the local government level.
