비대칭은 두개안면증후군 같은 선천적 요인과 외상과 같은 환경적 요인에 의해 발생할 수 있으며 심한 골격성 비대칭에서부터 경미한 치열 비대칭에 이르기까지 그 정도는 매우 다양하며 이에 대한 환자의 인지 또한 주관적이다. 심한 비대칭의 경우 악교정 수술이 필요할 수도 있으나 비대칭이 심하지 않고 환자가 수술을 원하지 않을 경우 교정치료 만으로 비대칭의 개선을 도모할 수 있다. 하지만 비대칭 고무줄을 사용한 통상적인 방법으로 장기간 치료하면 교합평면이 기울어지거나 치아가 경사이동이 되는 등의 부작용이 발생하여 만족스럽지 못한 결과를 초래할 수 있다. 이를 예방하기 위해 초진 시부터 주의 깊은 진단과 충분한 역학적 고려를 포함한 철저한 치료 계획이 필요하다. 이에 하악의 편위가 발생한 안면 비대칭 환자에서 수술 없이 비대칭을 악화시키지 않는 조절된 교정력을 적용하여 만족스런 비대칭 절충 치료 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

이 연구의 목적은 코로나 바이러스 감염증(Coronavirus Disease 2019, COVID-19) 시기의 12세 이하 아동에서 발생한 치과 외상의 변화 여부를 분석해 보는 것이다. 세계보건기구에서 COVID-19를 공식적으로 팬데믹으로 선포한 시점인 2020년 3월을 COVID-19의 기시점으로 설정하였다. 2018년 3월부터 2020년 2월까지를 COVID-19 이전 시기의 대상자를 Pre-COVID-19 군, 2020년 3월부터 2022년 3월까지를 COVID-19 이후 시기의 대상자를 COVID-19 군으로 분류하였다. 전자의무기록을 통해 외상과 관련한 정보들을 수집하였다. COVID-19 발생 전후 외상 환자 수는 유의미하게 감소하였다. COVID-19 기간 동안 남·여 비율과, 연령 구간의 분포 순서는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 영구치의 COVID-19 군에서 스포츠로 인한 외상 발생보다는 개인 이동 수단에 의한 외상의 비율이 높아졌다. COVID-19 군에서 치수 침범이 있는 치관 파절 비율이 치수 침범이 없는 치관 파절 비율보다 증가하였고 유의미하였다. 미취학 아동보다 학령기 아동에서 COVID-19에 의한 외상 패턴 변화가 뚜렷하게 관찰되었다. COVID-19와 같은 팬데믹 상황에서는 환경의 변화로 인해 호발하는 진단명이 변할 수 있다는 점을 알 수 있었다.

This study was to evaluate the nature of traumatic injuries on anterior teeth of 530 patients and the prognosis of stabilized cases of 102 patients, including possible 18-follow up cases among them, treated at Dental Hospital, Yonsei Medical Center from Mar. 1983 to Feb. 1988. The obtained results were as follows. 1. The peak of monthly distribution of trauma to the anteriors was June and was the lowest in November. The ratio of male to female was 2.6 : 1. The most common incidence of the trauma to the anteriors was seen in the 3rd decades. The most chiefly involved teeth were central incisors in both upper and lower jaws. The causes of trauma were as followed in descending order by first blows, traffic accidents, falls, slip downs, and sports. The types of traumatic injuries of anterior teeth consisted of periodontal tissue injuries(55.9%), the injuries to the hard dental tissues and pulp(31.3%), and alveolar bone injuries(12.8%). 2. 35.1% stabilized anteriors were treated with root canal therapy. The success rate of stabilization was 95.3%, and 92.3% in replantation of avulsed teeth. 3. External root resorption, internal root resorption with calcification of pulp chamber or root canal, ankylosis of root, and other periapical pathosis were seen in follow-up radiographic findings. 4. Success rate of stabilization of the traumatized anteriors after 3 years showed 71.4% average.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between stress and maxillofacial injuries in male students. Methods : The subjects were 386 male students who were 18 years or more. Mean age was $20.99{\pm}2.80$ years. Data were collected using a self-reported questionnaire from March 7 to March 28, 2013. We surveyed maxillofacial injuries, mouth guards use and stress in male students majoring physical education. The data were analyzed by Cochran's Mantel-Haenszel, McNemar test and logistic multiple regression. Results : Those who had clenching habit and maxillofacial pain accounted for 48.7%. The pain was 3.23 folds higher in clenching habit than those who had not (OR=3.23, p <.001). The more stress they had, the more clenching habit (OR=2.13) and pain(OR=1.68) did they have. Within 2 years, those having maxillofacial injury accounted for 53.2% and 78.6% of them put on maxillofacial protection guard. In rule for mouth guard use, 39.9% had no maxillofacial injury. Maxillofacial injury was 2.41 folds higher in those who had no mouth guard usee (OR=2.41). Conclusion : Maxillofacial injury had a close correlation with mouth guard use and stress. Therefore, it is very important to establish the rule for mouth guard use in sports activities.

Statement of problem: In spite of increasing sports injury, there was no collected data on the rate and type of dental injuries for athletes in Korea. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence of maxillofacial injuries and attitude of college sports player in Korea towards mouthguard. Material and methods: Total 617 athletes answered a series of questionnaire concerning their sports injury and using mouthguard. Results: 1. 81%(502) of athletes had, playing or training a sports, suffered an injury. Female athletes suffered an injury more than male athletes(p<0.05). Contact sports athletes were injured more than non contact sports athletes(p<0.05). 2. 335 athletes(54.8%) had suffered maxillofacial injuries while playing or training. 81.8% of athletes suffered an maxillofacial injury in contact sports(p<0.05). 3. Laceration of oral area, wrick in neck, fracture or avulsion on upper incisors, concussion, TMJ injury, fracture or avulsion on lower incisors, fracture or avulsion on lower molars were frequently injured area. 4. 67.2% of athletes answered that mouthguard could prevent sports injury especially high in contact sports(p<0.05). But only 39.1% of athletes required mouthguard while playing. 44.6% of athletes showed their intention of using mouthguard. Conclusion: This study shows that the incidence of maxillofacial injuries is very high while the actual use of mouthguard is very low. To prevent sports injury, a dentist must inform sports players and coaches of accurate information about mouthguard so that they can use it well. A dentist also has to provide them with better mouthguard on the basis of user's complaint.

Objective : Trauma has been a controversial issue although it has been considered to be a major factor for the temporomandibular disorder(TMD). We evaluated the relationship between macrotrauma or microtrauma and TMD. Methods : This study was performed in patients with TMD undergoing treatment at SNUBH from October 2006 to January 2007. Sixty one male patients and 166 female patients(total 227) were included and the average age was 34 years(ranging from 14 to 85 years). We investigated the possible etiologic factors, diagnosis and treatment with the review of medical records and radiography. Chronic pain, depression, somatic score(including pain item), somatic score(excluding pain item) were evaluated on the basis of diagnostic index from the Research Diagnostic Criteria on TMD. Results : Eighteen patients(7.9%) out of 227 patients suffered from TMD as a result of macrotrauma. Ninety four(41.4%) patients had microtrauma and six patients(2.6%) had both macro- and microtrauma(etiologic factor). The main symptoms included pain. joint noise and mouth opening limitation while the other symptoms were headache and tinnitus. The patients had suffered from TMD for average 41 weeks (ranging from 1 to 480 weeks). 116 patients took splint as a major treatment. As a prognosis, 19 patients(8.4%) recovered completely. 26(11.0%) had improvement and 181(80%) had persistent symptoms. 1 patient(0.4%) underwent an arthroplasty. Diagnostic index from RDC chart showed that macrotrauma was the highest score(except depression score) among the other etiologic factors. Conclusion : This study showed that macro- and microtrauma can be considered to be the major etiologic factors of TMD, which also affect the chronic, depression and somatic discomfort.

Traumatic ulcerative granuloma with stromal eosinophilia (TUGSE) is an ulcerative lesion on oral mucosa featuring as a benign mass of self-limiting growth. It can be easily misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) due to its long healing period and elevated or rolled-up margin. A 57-year old male patient who visited our department was diagnosed as SCC according to the clinical features, results of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the oral lesion. However, after performing incisional biopsy, histopathologically, there were no atypical cells, but eosinophil and CD 30+ T-cells were clustered in subcutaneous and muscle tissue. It is very significant to consider this reactive lesion in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery because of its possibility of mistaken as malignant disease. Here, we will report a couple of cases of TUGSE with references and limit of radiographic tools used for diagnosis of head and neck cancer.

Introduction: In a surgery of the oral cavity, nasotracheal intubation is often carried out to secure the surgical field. By passing a tracheal tube through the nasal cavity to the pharynx, the nasotracheal intubation can lead to complications that do not occur with oral intubation, such as nasal bleeding and submucosal aberration etc. The purpose of this study is to examine the method of CT evaluation and pretreatment for a safe nasotracheal intubation. Materials and Methods: Among 30 patients who orthognathic surgery was performed at Chung-Ang University Hospital during the period August 2009 to October 2009, 30 patients were included. The 30 patients were divided into two groups; 15 patients intubated with CT evaluation with pretreatment, and the other 15 patients intubated with no pretreatment. We evaluated nasal bleeding of the two groups during nasotracheal intubation. Results: CT evaluation with pretreatment group had a significantly lower incidence of nasal bleeding than the group with no pretreatment. Conclusion: CT evaluation with pretreatment helps to minimize nasal bleeding during nasotracheal intubation.
