Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical result of vertical alveolar distraction, especially the distracted alveolar bone and installed implants. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one patients who have been received the vertical alveolar distraction and implant installation on 22 areas (3 maxilla and 19 mandible) using intraoral alveolar distraction device were examined. After consolidation period of 3-4 months, distraction devices were removed and 91 implants were installed in the distracted alveolar bone. The distracted bone and implants were evaluated clinically and radiographically. Results: Mean height of distracted alveolar bone was $7.5{\pm}3.2$ mm (range: 2.5-15.0 mm). Mean follow-up period after completion of the distraction was 3.1 years (range: 1.4-11.5 years). Mean resorption of distracted alveolar bone was $1.6{\pm}1.8$ mm. The success and survival rates of implants was 95.3% and 100%, respectively. Conclusion: Results of this study indicate that vertical alveolar distraction procedure is a useful and stable method for alveolar ridge augmentation and implantation.

Purpose : This study is to predict the changes of the distal segment by investing the resorption of the excessive distal segment regarding the amount of setback after BSSRO. Material and Methods : 20 patients with Mandible prognathism treated by Obwegeser-Dal Pont method during the years 2000 to 2002 were selected for this study. Group A consisted of 5 males & 5 females with a setback amount of 10mm and above(Mean $10.80mm{\pm}1.03$, n=20) and Group B consisted of 2 males & 8 females with a setback amount of below 10mm.(Mean $6.10mm{\pm}1.10$, n=20) Panorama X-ray was taken at day 1, 1month, 3months, 6months, and 12months after the surgery. Resorption areas of excessive distal segment were measured on these panorama X-rays and compared. Results : There was bone resorption in both groups. Group A showed more bone resorption than Group B. Group B showed slightly higher resorption rate than Group A. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the resorption rates of Group A and Group B. (P>0.05). Conclusion : More bone resorption occurred with a larger amount of setback and about one third of the excessive distal segment underwent resorption, irrespective of the amount of setback.

The neoplastic variant of calcifying odontogenic cyst has various designation, and its malignant counterpart has been reported as aggressive epithelial ghost cell tumor or odontogenic ghost cell carcinoma. Odontogenic ghost cell carcinoma(OGCC) is a rare carcinoma first documented in 1985. It is composed of varying sized islands of anucleated cells with homogenous, pale eosinophilic cytoplasm, so called ghost cells, were admixed with nucleated cells. We report a case of maxillary OGCC developed from odontogenic epithelial tumor in a 25-year-old man with literature review.

Maxillary sinus lifting procedure and bone grafting are used to reconstruct atrophic maxillae. These procedure are usually followed by the placement of endosseous dental implants. Different materials and techniques can be used for sinus bone grafting. Platelets are known to contain various growth factors involved in the repair of the vasculature and tissues, and it is known that the specialized platelet secretory granules, the alpha granules, contain platelet derived growth factor(PDGF), transforming growth factor-beta(TGF-beta), insuline like growth factor-I(IGF-I), epidermoid growth factor(EGF), and others. This study was to evaluate the effect of PRP on bone formation in a sinus bone grafting. Twelve rabbits were included in this randomized, blinded, prospective pilot study. In experimental group, sinus bone grafting with autobone and platelet rich plasma. In control group, sinus bone grafting with only autobone. Rabbits were sacrificed at 2nd, 4th, 8th, 12th weeks postoperatively. Clinical and radiographic tests, histological analysis were conducted to compare both sides. In clinical examination, there in no significant difference between experimental group and control group. But, in radiographic examination, a distinct incresed in the radiopaque of the PRP experimental group at 2nd and 4th weeks. The histologic examination revealed that more new bone formation and osteoblast activity were seen in experimental group at 2nd and 4th weeks. In conclusion, PRPs action in sinus bone grafting had a capacity of increased new bone formation in a early bone healing stage.

Fracture site osteomyelitis begins rarely with an acute event but rather has a subacute onset. It develops almost exclusively in the mandibular region. The treatment principles of mandibular fracture site osteomyelitis are complete removal of inflammatory tissue and drainage, rigid fixation with or without autogenous bone bone graft and specific antibiotic therapy. But hyperbaric oxygen used as a modality in the treatment of intractable osteomyelitis. In this paper, we reported that the three patients who have osteomyelitis accompying secondary in fection after mandibular fracture.

The present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of demineralized freeze-dried bone (DFDB) and resorbable hydroxyapatite (RHA) on bone formation in the extracted socket. The lower left and right 2nd and 3rd premolar were extracted in adult dogs. The one group was grafted with DFDB into the extracted socket, and the other group grafted with RHA. The extracted socket was sutured without any graft materials as control. The animals were killed on the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 8th week after the graft for macroscopic and microscopic examination. Results obtained were as follows : 1. Macroscopically, nor infection of the graft site and dislodgement of the grafted material were noted in any animals used. 2. Young trabeculae of osteoid were formed in the socket wall in control group at 2 weeks after the graft. Osteoid tissue was formed in DFDB group at 1 week after graft, and a fine osteoid tissue was grown through the RHA particles in RHA group at 2 weeks graft. 3. The grafted groups showed more rapid bone formation than the control. Between the grafted groups, DFDB group showed more rapid formation than RHA group, DFDB group showed osteoinductive bone formation and RHA group showed osteoconductive bone formation. These results suggest that DFDB and RHA are useful to preserve the alveolar bone and to improve new bone formation by immediate grafting into the extraction sockets.

Rheumatoid arthritis(RA) is an of autoimmune inflammatory systemic disease. It is characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of synovial tissue and a wide array multisystem comorbidities. The disease may involve any joint of the body, but often statrs in the peripheral joints. It was reported that more than 50% of RA patients exhibit clinical involvement of TMJ. This report is a case report of dental management and progression for 16 months in patients who had severe bony change in TMJ involved rheumatoid arthritis Dental management was included palliative treatment such as interocclusal splints, physical therapy, mouth opening exercise. Although it was progressed rapidly osteolytic bone change during follow-up, no more advanced occulsal change and improved symptom and jaw motion. Further investigations about rule of dentistry in TMJ involvement in RA maybe needed.

Class III malocclusion usually becomes manifested at a very early age, most typically evidenced clinically by the appearance of either an edge-to-edge incisor relationship or an anterior crossbite. Anterior crossbite, by it-self, retards growth of maxilla, and accelerates growth of mandible. So, treatment should be started as early as the patient cooperates, removing any factors or forces that inhibit growth and development in the same physiologic maxillary displacement direction. The facial mask is effective in most developing Class III patients, because the appliance system affects virtually all areas contributing to a Class III malocclusion. Thus, the facial mask can be applied to most developing Class If cases regardless of the specific etiology. In these cases, the results were followed. Anterior crossbite was corrected by anterior movement of maxilla and downward backward rotation of mandible and simultaneously, lower facial height was increased. So, it can be concluded that the facial mask is effective in treating growing patients with a deficient maxilla.

Increasing demands for esthetic dental treatment, zirconia, which has high mechanical and esthetic properties, had been applied more and more in clinics. Therefore, assessment of biocompatibility of zirconia is necessary. In this article, a review of in vivo studies of zirconia compatibility was performed. In vivo studies showed zirconia had great biocompatibility both on soft and hard tissue. Studies with various animals and patients reported high biocompatibility of zirconia. In terms of bone synthesis and bone adhesion, zirconia showed similar biocompatible properties to titanium. On the other hand, zirconia could be used as implant. For using as an implant, various methods of Hydroxyapatite (HA) coating had been suggested. Since HA coating on titanium implant showed some problems such as low bonding strength and degeneration of HA, HA-zirconia composite, HA-coated zirconia, and HA-zirconia functionally graded material (FGM) or intermediate layer of alumina had been proposed. These methods showed higher bonding strength and biocompatibility.
