In maxilary anteriors, aesthetic aspect are of critical importance. but it is difficult to achieve esthetic results because of the narrow buccal-lingual alveolar bone width compared to the posterior teeth and alveolar bone resorption during tooth extraction. This case report describes how to minimize alveolar bone resorption and soft tissue collapse when immediate implant placement is done after extraction of the maxillary anterior teeth due to trauma.

Dilacerations generally involve central incisors; most often maxillary incisors rather than their mandibular counterparts. The clinical features of dilaceration include non-eruption of the responsible tooth or prolonged retention of the deciduous predecessor tooth. In Case 1, the tooth showed a dilaceration at the boundary between the crown and the root, more laterally rather than labiolingually. In Case 2, the dilacerated tooth showed a crown dilaceration with a relatively normal orientation of the dental root. In both cases, no significant space losses for eruption were observed. Moreover, it seems that unlike the maxilla with the palate, the mandibular anterior teeth are limited to show severe displacement. From these cases, it is suggested that if a mandibular permanent incisor shows a crown dilaceration or lateral dilaceration at the boundary between the crown and the root, there is a relatively high probability of spontaneous eruption of the dilacerated tooth.

부정교합으로 인한 외상성 악관절증은 비수술적 방법으로 개선되어야 하고, 악골기형성 부정교합은 수술에 의한 개선방법이 강구되어야 한다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the level of dental trauma management in elementary, middle and high school teachers using questionnaires. 325 elementary school teachers, 101 middle school teachers, and 232 high school teachers, totally 658(males of 362, females of 296)teachers were provided with the questionnaires. Part I in the questionnaires was composed of their gender, age, experience as teachers and whether they received education about dental trauma or not. Part II included questions about appropriate attitudes in case of specific dental trauma. Part III was composed of questions asking knowledges about states of damaged teeth and possible emergency service. The attitude in managing tooth fracture showed significant difference between male and female teachers. The attitude in managing tooth avulsion showed significant difference among elementary, middle and high school teachers. Although it had difference according to questions, insufficient knowledge and awareness about the management of dental trauma were shown in the majority of teachers. It is recommended that educational program for improvement of awareness about immediate management of traumatized teeth is necessary for teachers.

The purpose of this study was to examine the actual state of injuries experience and safety accident prevention in dental hygienists. This study surveyed the actual state of injuries experience caused by apparatus and materials through a self-administered survey of 366 dental hygienists. Statistical analysis was performed using PASW Statistics 18.0. Frequency, chi-square test, t-test, one-way ANOVA were applied in this analysis. The results were as follows: Out of the 307 subjects (83.9%) experienced injuries in the last 6 months, and 294 subjects (80.3%) chose the stab as the most frequent type of injuries experience and it was followed by incised wound, scratch and burn. In relation to the differences in injuries experience depending on general characteristics, there were significant differences depending on the age, career, position, dental treatment (p<0.001) and the education (p<0.01). In relation to the differences in the level of safety accident prevention practice depending on general characteristics, there were significant differences depending on the injuries experience, age (p<0.05) and the types of dental clinics (p<0.01). Therefore, We suggest to establish a systematic process for safety accident prevention in dental clinics and emphasize the importance of prevention through continued safety education be needed.

This study investigated the pattern and treatment of traumatic dental injury (TDI), with respect to the time elapsed prior to the initial visit to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Chonnam National University Dental Hospital for TDI, from January 2009 to December 2013. The dental trauma records of a total of 378 patients (940 traumatic teeth) were analyzed. The prevalence rate of dental trauma was twofold higher in males versus females. The principal cause of injury, among all participants, was falling (36.5%). The most commonly affected teeth were the maxillary central incisors (66.9%). Subluxation (43.9%) represented the most common trauma for primary teeth, and uncomplicated crown fracture in permanent teeth (30.9%). Only 10% of patients visited the dental clinic within 1 hour of sustaining trauma. The principal treatment provided for primary teeth, during the initial clinical visit, was follow-up (53.2%); for permanent teeth it was root canal treatment (27.3%). The prevalence of root canal treatment for permanent teeth increased commensurate with the time elapsed since injury. These data suggest that delayed checkup following trauma may increase the risk of loss of pulp vitality.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the traumatized primary teeth and investigate the occurrence, types, area, cause, place of trauma to primary teeth and seasonal variation in a hospital population, and to evaluate the interval between injury and treatment. A total 411 children with 745 traumatized teeth participated in this study from 1998 to 2000. The results were as follows : 1. There were slightly more boys than girls giving a male-to-girl ratio of 1.74:1.0. The 1-2, 2-3 year old boys and girls had the highest number of traumatic injuries to their primary dentition. 2. The most common injury was concussion. 3. The majority of traumatized teeth are the upper primary central incisors. 4. Falling down was the most common cause of injury in both sexes. The most of the injuries occurred inside home. 5. 46% of the children visited the dental office within 24 hours after traumatic injury. 6. The most common month was October(12.7%), and June(12.2%), May(11.7%) were followed.
