In this case report, gingival recession of the mandibular anterior teeth was treated with a laterally closed tunnel technique. Two patients had altered the inclination of mandibular anterior tooth during past orthodontic treatment and had periodontal thin biotype. The recipient site was formed by tunneling method, and the connective tissue graft obtained from the palatal side was placed in the tunnel, and the margins of flap were gathered at the center of the root and sutured. Despite the thin periodontal biotype, the root coverage was successfully obtained, keratinized gingiva was increased, and aesthetics were achieved by harmonizing with surrounding tissues in terms of shape and color.

결합조직이식을 이용한 치근피개 술식에 많은 관심이 집중되고 있다. 최근에는 acellular dermal matrix가 자가 결합조직 이식편의 대체물로써 소개되었다. 본 실험의 목적은 치근피개를 위해 acellular dermal matrix을 사용시, 그 임상 효과 빚 조직 치유 양상을 평가하고, 이를 자가 결합조직 이삭시의 결과와 비교하기 위함이다. 3마리의 성견에 인위적인 치은 퇴축부 형성을 위해서, 상악 좌우견치의 협측에서 각화치은을 모두 제거하고, 법랑백악경계부로부터 12mm 정도 치조골을 삭제한 후에 판막을 봉합하였다. 그 후 35일을 치유 기간으로 부여하였다. 총 6 부위의 결손부가 실험에 포함되었고, 각각 3 부위씩이 대조군과 실험군으로 분류되었다. 실험군에서는 acellular dermal matrix 이식과 치관측 변위 판막을 시행하였고, 대조군에서는 치은 퇴축부위에 자가 결합조직 이식과 치관측 변위 판막을 시행하였다. 치주낭 깊이, 임상적 부착 수준, 치은 퇴축 높이, 각화조직 높이 등을 인위적 결손부 형성전, 치은 피개술 시행 직전, 피개술 시행후 4주 경과시에 각각 측정하였다. 술후 4주시에, 상악 좌우 견치 부위에서 시편을 얻어 조직학적으로 관찰하고 Wilcoxon signed rank test 와 Mann-Whitney U test으로 통계처리하였다. 임상결과 관찰시, 대조군과 실험군 모두에서, 술전과 비교시 치은 퇴축 감소와 각화조직의 증가, 임상 부착수준의 개선이 나타났다.(p ( 0.05) 평균 치근 피개율은 실험군에서 61.33(5.67%(n=3), 대조군에서 55.67(5.67%(n=3) 이었고, 대조군과 실험군에서 임상결과에서는 통계학적으로 유의성 있는 차이는 없었다.(p ( 0.05). 조직학상으로는, 두 군 모두에서 이식편이 수여부에 잘 융화되어 있었고 비슷한 치유 양상을 보였다. 이상의 실험결과에 의하면, Acellular dermal matrix은 치근피개술 시행시에 결합조직 이식편의 대용품으로 사용할 수 있고 비슷한 피개 결과를 얻을수 있었다.

In the case of single tooth replacement, a fixed prosthesis or a dental implant is the treatment option commonly selected as first choice. However, any amount of sound tooth structure should be removed to prepare the abutment teeth for full coverage retainer. The adjacent tooth damage can be avoided placing a dental implant. However, depending on the patient's oral condition and any other circumstances, it may be impossible or delayed. In this case resin bonded fixed partial denture was selected as an alternative that can restore single tooth loss without much tooth structure removal to the young patients and the patients with gingival recession. We report these patients were satisfied with esthetic and function.

In a single implant restoration of maxillary anterior teeth, it is difficult to accomplish an aesthetic restoration of the implant prosthesis in the case of gingival recession and bone defect problems. To maintain aesthetic stability in the long term, it is important to place the implant in the ideal position as well as the recovery of the soft tissue and harmony with the prosthesis. Not only ideal implant position but also the harmony with surrounding soft tissues are important to fabricate aesthetic implant prosthesis for these cases. for these cases, a 47- years -old male with lowered level of osseous crest and gingival recession on maxillary anterior tooth was treated with guided bone regeneration and gingival recontouring.

최근의 레이저 기술의 발전은 치의화영역에서 많은 가능성을 제시해 주고 있으며, 레이저를 이용한 외과적 치료의 기전과 안전성은 많은 분야에서 입증되어 있다. 근래에는 치주학적 분야에도 레이저를 적용하려는 노력이 계속되어 왔으며, 치석의 제거나 치근면의 세균제거 등에서 효과를 제시한 연구들이 있었다. 본 연구의 목적은 $CO_2$ 레이저를 통상적 치은연하소파술과 병용하였을때의 임상적 효과를 임상 지수의 측정을 통하여 평가하는 것이다. 만성 중둥도-고도의 치주염으로 진단된 12명의 환자가 본 임상연구에 포함되었다. 한 환자에서 각각 2부위의 사분악을 선택하여 임의로 2가지 치료군에 다음과 같이 나누어 포함시켰다: 1) 치은연하 소파술만을 적용한 사분악을 대조군 2) 치은연하 소파술과 0.8W의 에너지 수준을 갖는 $CO_2$ 레이저를 병용하여 적용한 사분악을 Laser 군으로 포함하였다. 치주낭 탐침 깊이, 임상 부착 수준, 치은 퇴축 및 탐침시 출혈풍의 임상지수를 치료전과 술후 각각 1, 3, 6개월 경과시에 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 치주낭 탐침 깊이, 임상 부착 수준, 치은 퇴축 및 탐침시 출혈 등의 모든 측정한 임상지수에서 치료전 ${\cdot}$ 후를 비교하였을 때 통계적으로 유의한 개선을 보였다. 그러나 실험군과 대조군간의 비교에서는 치주낭 탐침 깊이, 임상 부착 수준에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 탐침시 출혈은 술후 6개월시에 Laser군에서 대조군에 비하여 통계적으로 유의성있는 차이를 보이며 감소하였다(p<0.05). 결론적으로 $CO_2$ laser를 비외과적 치주 치료에 부가적으로 적용하였을 때 염증 감소에 기여할 가능성이 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Traditionally, gingival retraction has been performed to obtain customized abutment impressions with subgingival margins of the implant supported prosthesis. However, gingival retraction may have side effects such as gingival recession and bleed, leading to an inaccurate impression. In order to prevent these problems, in this case, the new technique has been introduced; a customized abutment which is designed for superimposition is used. Before the connection of the abutment to the implant fixture, pre-scanned shape data are stored, and then the optical impression without gingival retraction is obtained after connecting to the fixture. The suprastructure is fabricated by superimposing the two data. This technique showed the clinical efficacy of fabricating the implant supported prosthesis with subgingival margin, which satisfied the aesthetics, convenience, and clinically acceptable marginal and internal fit.

In dental esthetics, soft tissue plays an important part, probably very large portion of it. A clear understanding of the periodontal tissues and its management around teeth and implants help us to develop concepts for a modern dental treatment that addresses the needs of demanding patients in regard of esthetics and durability. When we talk about esthetic, we can say that one of the most important element is a harmonization with gingiva (soft tissue) called 'Pink Esthetic' As for the pink esthetics, gingival line(contour) takes most of the influence on esthetic result; it consists of labial gingival level, interproximal papilla height, and a line that connects them. In the gingival recession, labial gingival level and gingival contour move to the apical portion, and the root area is exposed. It leads to the unesthetic result. Root coverage technique is classically used to treat gingival recession (marginal tissue recession) of natural teeth. It is an essential technique on periodontal plastic surgery part. It is also a very useful technique to recover soft tissue problems in implant dentistry. So, root coverage technique must be mastered for a good implant esthetic result. The general overview of root coverage procedures will be discussed with step by step explanation to get more esthetic result.

Complete denture prosthodontics includes replacement of natural teeth and associated maxillary and mandibular structures for full edentulous patients. The final objectives of prosthodontic treatment include esthetic and functional rehabilitation. Because the esthetic demand of senior patients has increased esthetic requirement should not be overlooked in denture treatment. In complete denture treatment, attempts have been made to reproduce tooth wear, arrangement, recession of cervical gingiva, staining, improved gingival shade and so on. This 61 year old female patient came to the Department of Prosthodontics with the chief complaint that dentures made 5 years ago in a local clinic were broken and did not fit well. The patient put more emphasis on fabrication of natural and esthetic dentures than recovery of masticatory function. Remake of maxillary complete denture and mandibular implant retained overdenture was planned. In order to create esthetic and natural contour, Aesthetic Color Set Easy system$^{(R)}$ (Candulor dental GmbH, Wangen, Germany) was used to make complete dentures reproducing various gingival shades. Patient's esthetic satisfaction was high. When complete denture prosthodontics treatment involves appropriate expression of individual characteristics in addition to proper selection of esthetic materials, treatment will give satisfaction to both dentist and patient.
