  • The purpose of this study was to closely examine the inhibitive effect of erythritol on growth and acidogenic ability of Streptococcus mutans. As expected, the growth of S. mutans was comparably increased with the addition of sucrose. However, xylitol and erythritol remarkably reduced the growth of S. mutans. Growth inhibition was detected at more than 5% of erythritol although xylitol showed growth inhibition effect at all concentrations tested. Growth inhibition effect was monitored with the combination of same concentration of erythritol and other carbohydrates. Combination of 5% or 10% erythritol with xylitol showed effective growth inhibition. Addition of 2.5%, 5%, or 10% erythritol with sorbitol also showed growth inhibition. From these results, erythritol showed potency of growth inhibition of S. mutans, which is involved in dental caries, and was confirmed to be an excellent sugar substitute, which has effect on preventing caries.

  • It is important to produce a provisional restoration reflecting the patient's jaw relation, occlusal plane, lip support, shape of teeth, and occlusion type for fully edentulous patients before making a definite prosthesis. The patient introduced in this study showed bad prognosis of remained tooth after severe periodontal diseases. Therefore, remaining teeth were extracted and replaced with dental implants. Provisional restorations were fabricated and the the patient's vertical and horizontal jaw relationship, occlusal plane, amount of overjet and overbite, size of teeth, and length of anterior tooth were recorded. Provisional restorations were scanned and CAD/CAM techniques were used to fabricate a monolithic zirconia bridge, which contour is identical with the provisional restorations. The patient was satisfied with the treatment results on functional, esthetic aspects and the prosthesis retained stable during the four-month clinical observation period.

  • A recent laboratory study has demonstrated improved caries lesion resistance with enamel that was exposed to $CO_2$ laser irradiation for very short time period. When topical fluoride treatment was performed before or after laser irradiation, reductions in dental caries. The purpose of this scanning electron microscopic(SEM) study and atomic force microscope study was to characterize surface alterations in tooth enamel after in vitro laser irradiation alone and combined topical fluoride treatment either before or after laser irradiation. The treatment effects of laser irradiation led to the formation of an irregular, mild porosities and fine fissures, also created granular materials. But when laser irradiation was followed by APF, the enamel surface had homogenous architecture. The result led to the caries resistance effects by these granular structures have been considered to represent redeposited mineral phases due to the mobilization of calcium, phosphate, and fluoride from lased enamel.

  • This study aims to measure oral health knowledge and practice level among dental clinic patients, and examine their relationships with decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMF) index and the oral health-related quality of life (QOL). Empirical data have been collected from 311 patients through structured questionnaires and dental examinations conducted in Busan area. According to the analysis of causal relationship, oral health knowledge turned out to have a direct effect on oral health practices, which exerted both direct and indirect effects on DMF index and oral health-related QOL. While DMF index directly affected the oral health-related QOL, oral health knowledge proved to have only an indirect effect on DMF index and oral health-related QOL, mediated by oral health practices. Considering all these findings, effective oral health education and other intervention programs should focus on motivating people to participate in the active practices of desirable oral health behaviors, which will lead to the prevention of oral diseases and the subsequent improvement in the QOL.

  • Although tooth wear is a normal process due to aging, severe tooth wear causes various complications such as increased tooth sensitivity, loss of tooth structure, and pulp complications. In the treatment of patients with excessive tooth wear, the evaluation of loss of vertical occlusal dimension should be prioritized. If it is necessary to increase the vertical dimension to secure the restoration space, it is important to establish a treatment plan with the comprehensive analysis and determine the minimum vertical dimension elevation. In this case, 66-year-old male patient with severe worn dentition wanted to restore masticatory function and improve esthetic restoration. In order to determine the appropriate vertical dimension of the patient, we evaluated oral examination, radiographic examination, and diagnostic cast examination, and performed rehabilitation with minimum vertical dimension elevation. As a result of observation for 8 months, the definitive prosthesis was completed with contact of all teeth in centric occlusion, and proper anterior/posterior guidance. Through the above process, satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcomes were obtained.

  • To enhance the esthetic appearance, the maxillary anterior area is important. It is possible to improve the esthetic appearance through the treatment of maxillary anterior area, which includes altering the color, form, and arrangement of teeth. When planning these treatments, clinicians should individualize personal demands, by using the information obtained from facial, dento-labial, dental, and gingival analysis. It is essential to properly prepare the gingival structure, which includes the height of gingival margin, the location of zenith, reconstruction of the interdental papillae, emergence profile, and symmetry. Clinicians often face unfavorable condition of the gingiva and the edentulous ridge, and appropriate management of the gingival structure is needed. In this case report, the patients were treated to improve the gingival conditions surrounding maxillary anterior teeth. By using conservative treatment without surgical intervention, such as application of pink porcelain, subgingival contour modelling and modification of pontic base, satisfactory esthetic results were gained.

  • 목적 - 근관형성시 근관내 상아질벽에는 항상 도말층(smear layer)이 형성되는데, 이는 상아질, 치수조직 잔사, 조상아세포 돌기, 때로는 미생물 등으로 구성되며, 주사전자현미경상으로는 비규칙적이며, 무정형의 구상(granular)구조물로 관찰된다. 본 연구에서는 도말층의 유무에 따른 혐기성 미생물, Prevotella nigrescens의 근관내 상아질 부착정도를 주사전자현미경으로 평가하고자 한다. 지금까지 사용되었던 실험방법에 비하여 보다 임상적 환경에 가까운 실험방법을 고안, 신빙성 있는 연구결과를 기대할 수 있도록 하였다. 방법 - 치주질환이나 외상 등의 원인으로 발거된 상, 하악 전치 18개를 사용하였다. 각 치아의 치관부를 백악법랑경계부위에서 절단하고, 1군(5개치아)은 10ml의 생리식 염수를, 2군(5개치아)과 3군(5개치아)은 10ml의 3.5% NaOCl을 근관관주용액으로 사용하여 근관형성을 하였다. 근관형성 완료후 1군과 2군은 10ml의 생리식염수로, 3군은 10ml의 0.5M EDTA용액으로 final flush를 시행하여, 3군의 도말층을 제거하였다. 치근수직절단과 ethylene oxide(EO) gas 소독후 1, 2, 3군의 시편(각군10개시편)을 Prevotella nigrescens가 부유된 Brain Heart Infusion with Yeast estract, Hemin and Menadione(BHIYHM) broth내에 37$^{\circ}C$에서 3시간 동안 incubation했다. 4, 5, 6군은 실험과정을 검증하기 위한 대조군으로써, 4군(1개치아)과 5군(1개치아)은 1군, 2군과 같이 각각 생리식염수와 NaOCl만을 이용한 근관형성으로 도말층을 잔존시키고, 6군(1개치아)은 3군과 같이 NaOCl과 EDTA를 적용하여 도말층을 제거한 후, 치근 수직절단과 EO gas 소독을 시행했다. 모든 시편(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6군)을 통상의 방법에 따라 처리한 후 주사전자현미경을 통하여 관찰, 근관내면에 부착되어 있는 Prevotella nigrescens의 개수, 모양, 상아세관 및 도말층과의 관계 등을 관찰, 비교, 분석하였다. 결과는 t-test와 one-way ANOVA를 통하여 통계처리 하였다. 결론 - 1. 근관형성 후 근관내 상아질 표면 전체는 도말층으로 덮여 있는 양상을 보였다. 2. 3.5% NaOCl과 0.5M EDTA를 적용하여 근관내 도말층을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있었으며, 상아세관 개구부가 확연히 노출되어 있는 소견을 관찰할 수 있었다. 3. 도말층이 덮인군에서 미생물의 부착이 유의성 있게 높았다(P<0.05). 4. 근관 형성중 형성되어 근관 상아질을 덮고 있는 도말층이 미생물의 부착을 증가시켜, 근관 재감염의 기회를 증가시킴을 알 수 있었다.

  • Excessive tooth wear can cause irreversible damage to the occlusal surface and can alter the anterior occlusal relationship by destroying the structure of the anterior teeth needed for esthetics and proper anterior guidance. The anterior deep bite is not a morbid occlusion by itself, but it may cause problems such as soft tissue trauma, opposing tooth eruption, tooth wear, and occlusal trauma if there are no stable occlusal contacts between the lower incisal edge against its upper lingual surface. The most important goal of treatment is to form stable occlusal contact in centric relation. In this case report, patients with decrease in vertical dimension and anterior deep bite due to maxillary posterior tooth loss and excessive tooth wear were treated full mouth rehabilitation with increased vertical dimension to regain the space for restoration and improve anterior occlusal relationship and esthetics. The functional and aesthetic problems of the patient could be solved by the equal intensity contact of all the teeth in centic relation (CR), anterior guidance in harmony with the functional movement, and restoration of the wear surface beyond the enamel range.
