Background: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of EBT(Electron Beam Tomography) in the diagnosis of conotruncal anomaly and to determine whether it can be used as a substitute for cardiac angiography. Material and Method: 20 patients(11M & 9F) with TOF(n=7, pulmonary atresia 2), DORV(n=7), complete TGV(n=4), & corrected TGV(n=2) were included. The age ranged from 7 days to 26 years(median 60 days). We analyzed the sequential chamber localization, the main surgical concenrn in each disease category (PA size, LVED volume and coronary artery pattern for TOF & pulmonary atresia, the LV mass, LVOT obstruction, coronary artery pattern for complete TGV, and type of VSD and TV-PV distance for DORV, etc) and other associated anomalies(e.g., VSD, arch anomalies, tracheal stenosis, etc). Those were compared with the results of echocardiography(n=19), angiography (n=9), and surgery(n=11). The interval between EBT and echocardiography/angiography was within 20/11 days, respectively except for an angiography in a patient with corrected TGV (48 days). Result: EBT correctly diagnosed the basic components of conotruncal anomalies in all subjects, compared to echocardiography, angiography or surgery. These included the presence, type and size of VSD(n=20), pulmonic/LV outflow tract stenosis(n=15/2), relation of great arteries and the pattern of the proximal epicardial coronary arteries(16 out of 20). EBT proved to be accurate in quantitation of the intrapericardial and hilar pulmonary arterial dimension and showed high correlation and no difference compared with echocardiography, angiography, or surgery(p>0.05) except for left pulmonary arterial & ascending arterial dimension by echocardiography. LVED volume in seven TOF(no difference: p>0.05 & high correlation: r=0.996 with echocardiography), and LV mass in 4 complete TGV were obtained. Additionally, EBT enabled the cdiagnosis of subjlottic tracheal stenosis and tracheal bronchus in 1 respectively. Some peripheral PA stenosis were not detected by echocardiography, while echocardiography appeared to be slightly more accurate than EBT in detecing ASD or PDA. Conclusion: EBT can be a non-invasive and accurate modality of for the evaluation of most anatomical alteration including peripheral PS or interruption in patients with conotruncal anomalies. Combined with echocardiography, EBT study provides sufficient information for the palliative or total repair of anomalies.

치내치(dens in dente)는 치아 조직이 석회화되기 전에 발생하는 발달 이상이다. 치내치의 치수 조직은 구강에 직접 노출되거나 함입 부위의 법랑질 및 상아질 결함을 통해 노출될 수 있으며, 세균 감염에 취약하다. 이에 따라 치내치는 치수 괴사와 그에 따른 치근단 치주염의 가능성이 높아 진다. 치내치가 있는 치아의 치료는 복잡한 근관 형태로 인해 어려움이 있을 수 있다. 그러므로, 치내치의 해부학적 변이에 대한 세부적인 파악은 적절한 치료계획을 위해 상당히 중요하다. 본 증례보고는 Oehler의 제 2형과 제 3형 치내치(dens invaginatus)에 대해 다룬다. 2형 치내치는 함입이 백악-법랑 경계 하방으로 연장되어 치근 내로 함입되어 있으나, 치주인대와 교통하지 않으며, 3형 치내치는 함입부가 치관에서 백악법랑경계(CEJ)를 넘어 연장된다. 함입부를 통한 세균 침입은 치수 및 치근 주위 조직의 염증을 쉽게 일으킬 수 있다. 본 증례보고는 CBCT를 이용한 제 2형 및 제 3형 치내치의 근관 치료 과정을 보고하고자 한다.
