Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy of image merging of an intraoral scan of an edentulous arch to a facial scan using wax rim and markers. Materials and Methods: For registration of oral scan to face scan, a wax rim with markers was made. The markers were cuboid and divided into four groups according to size (5, 10 mm) and attachment location (midline, canine region). The evaluation of registration accuracy was compared with a standard created using cone-beam computed tomography data. Anterior linear variation of the edentulous arch and the 3D variation of the overall arch were measured. Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistics, and the significance level was set at 0.05 and evaluated under Bonferroni correction (0.05/6 = 0.083). Results: In the anterior deviation and global deviation results, there was no statistically significant difference in the oral scan position displacement values between the 5 mm and 10 mm groups. When the midline marker was used, the intraoral scan position displacement value was significantly lower than when only the canine marker was used. Conclusion: Marker attached wax rim can be used for image matching between facial and intraoral scans of the edentulous arch. Marker location at the middle area increases the accuracy of image matching.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of soil fertilizers on wax content, contact angle, mineral nutrient content of Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora Sieb, et Zucc.) leaves and soil acidity of Japanese red pine communities in Namsan and Kwangnung to see whether they can recover forest decline. Japenese red pine communities were treated with $Ca(OH)_2$, $Mg(OH)_2$, $Ca(OH)_2+Mg(OH)_2$+C.F.(compound fertilizer) in a randomized complete block design with 3 replication from November, 1990 through October, 1993. Wax content, contact angle value and mineral nutrient content of Japanese red pine leaves and soil pH of communities were measured and the results obtained are as follows: 1. Contact angle value and wax content of Japenese red pine leaves increased when the fertilizers were applied in soil. The order leaves grew, the smaller their contact angle values. 2. K and Ca contents of Japanese red pine leaves were higher in Namsan than in Kwangnung, whereas Mg content was higher in Kwangnung. K and Mg contents of the leaves increased with fertilization both in Namsan and Kwangnung. 3. Soil acidity of pH 4.2 ~ 4.3 was shown in Namsan and pH 4.6 ~ 4.9 in Kwangnung. No acidity changes were shown when the fertilizers were applied in soil. However with the lapse of the soil fertilizer application time, there was the indication that soil pH became higher in the fertilizer treatments than in the control.

The striped fruit fly, Zeugodacus scutellata (Diptera: Tephritidae), is one of important pests in Cucurbitaceae plants. The cuelure is currently using with various forms for surveillance to the Z. scutellata male as well as Z. cucurbitae, Z. tau, and Bactrocera tryoni, which are categorized as prohibited-quarantine fruit flies in Korea. This study was conducted to verify the attraction effect of applying the cuelure in different forms in field conditions. In this study, we used cuelure by 3 different forms as solid, liquid, and wax to striped fruit flies using the Steiner trap. The trap was placed in two Jeju and one Gyeongbuk regions and the number of attracted flies by each cuelure form is monitored by every 2 weeks during 2021. Attraction effect on Z. scutellata was significant difference by different cuelure forms in two Jeju regions. Liquid and wax forms of cuelure showed high attraction number to the Z. scutellata male compared with solid form when flies were occurred with high population from July to August in Jeju. However, there was no significant difference on attraction effect at low population in Juju and Gyeongbuk by different forms. Based on field assay, liquid and wax form of cuelure are recommended for surveillance against Z. scutellata male. Furthermore, these results also strongly suggest that the attractant, liquid and wax forms of cuelure, could be effective for surveillance to quarantine fruit flies such as Z. cucurbitae, Z. tau, and B. tryoni in Korea.

A proper vertical dimension and a harmonious occlusal plane are essential to satisfy a patient esthetically and functionally. A maxillomandibular occlusal vertical dimension is determined by the elevators which repeatedly contracts to a certain length, and a tooth location is determined by a maxillomandibular vertical dimension. The patient of this case came in with the incongruity of the lips and the occlusal plane. The result of clinical test showed the lack of length of the lower anterior due to the reduction of vertical dimension, the deep overbite of anterior, the excessive attrition of anterior, and the incongruity of occlusal plane. After the diagnostic wax-up, the temporary restoration was installed, and final prosthesis was installed after 6 months. As a result, the patient obtained a functionally and esthetically satisfying result.
