Purpose: The purpose of this study was to detect the anterior loop of the mental nerve and the mandibular incisive canal in panoramic radiographs (PAN) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, as well as to determine the anterior/mesial extension of these structures in panoramic and cross-sectional reconstructions using PAN and CBCT images. Materials and Methods: Images (both PAN and CBCT) from 90 patients were evaluated by 2 independent observers. Detection of the anterior loop and the incisive canal were compared between PAN and CBCT. The anterior/mesial extension of these structures was compared between PAN and both cross-sectional and panoramic CBCT reconstructions. Results: In CBCT, the anterior loop and the incisive canal were observed in 7.7% and 24.4% of the hemimandibles, respectively. In PAN, the anterior loop and the incisive canal were detected in 15% and 5.5% of cases, respectively. PAN presented more difficulties in the visualization of structures. The anterior/mesial extensions ranged from 0.0 mm to 19.0 mm on CBCT. PAN underestimated the measurements by approximately 2.0 mm. Conclusion: CBCT appears to be a more reliable imaging modality than PAN for preoperative workups of the anterior mandible. Individual variations in the anterior/mesial extensions of the anterior loop of the mental nerve and the mandibular incisive canal mean that is not prudent to rely on a general safe zone for implant placement or bone surgery in the interforaminal region.

Objectives Aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical use and the efficacy of Frialit-2 implant system. Experimental Methods Fifty nine patients received placement of Frilalit-2 implants(137 implants) in their maxillary anterior and posterior sites(40 and 97 implants). Intraoral & clinical examination, chart review and radiographs were taken from each patient. Results 1. The total implant survival rate was 92.7% after a mean follow-up period of 19.9 months. 2. The implant survival rate placed in anterior region was 97.5%. 3. The implant survival rate placed in posterior region was 90.7%. 4. The implant survival rate placed in atrophic posterior maxilla with advanced technique (GBR, Sinus elevation) was 87.2%. 5. The implant survival rate placed in type N(D4) bone was 82%, while 95.7% in type III (D3), and 100% in type II(D2) bone. 6. Most of the failed implants(7 of 10) were removed during the maintenance stage after prosthodontic treatment. Conclusion It was concluded that Frialit-2 implant could be used satisfactorily in the esthetic anterior region, but the use in the posterior region, especially with poor bone quality and quantity, further studies are needed.

Normal swine brains at 1 to 70 days after birth were used to investigate the presence and morphology of the subependymal layer (SL) in the ventricle walls. The brain samples were taken from 27 pigs of 4 swine breeds. The results were summarized as follows: 1. SLs were observed on the walls of the lateral ventricle (LV) but none were observed on the walls of the 3th and 4th ventricles. 2. SLs of the LV walls were composed of mainly 3-to 10-cell layers in thickness. The thinest region of SLs was composed of only 1-to 2-cell thick on the dorsal and ventral walls, and the thickest region was composed of 250-to 300-cell thick on extension region of the SLs into the angle between the corpus callosum and caudate nucleus. 3. Of the LV parts observed, the SL thickness were 25-to 45-cell thick on the anterior horn, 3-to 10-cell thick on the body, 100-to 220-cell thick on the angle region between the corpus callosum and caudate nucleus, and 3-to 5-cell thick the superior walls of the posterior horn. Also the SL thickness was more thick on the anterior region than those on the posterior region. 4. SLs may be classified as three types by the cell distribution; one type of them is closely arranged cell region with the distinctive lateral margin from the periventricular white matter, the other type is loosely arranged cell region with the undistinctive lateral margin, and another type is two-subdivided region as the loosely and closely arranged cell layers in a layer. 5. SLs were extensively thick in young age but gradually decreased in size and cell number with age after 20-day age. SL layers were composed of mainly oligodendrocytes, astrocytes and immature cells of them. Morphological differences of SL in different breeds of pigs were not observed.

This study was designed to help to be given esthetics in construction of denture and prosthodontic rehabilitation of anterior tooth region. The author took the facial straight photograph of 100 old aged people(male 50, female 50) above 55 years of age, who have natural teeth in anterior tooth region, in a resting and a smiling position. And the author measured and analyzed the lip shape, the relation between the lip and the teeth and the change of lip length and height when they were smiling. The results of this study were as follows : 1. In the shape of the upper lip, when the upper lip curved downward, it was 53%, straight was 28% and curved upward was 9%. 2. In the relation between the upper lip and the teeth, average smile was 53% , high smile was 26% and low smile was 21%. 3. In the parallel relation between the lower lip and maxillary anterior incisal curvature, the group of straight was 54%, the group of parallel was 40% and the group of reverse was 6%. 4. In the relationship between maxillary anterior incisor and lower lip, the group of not-touching was 92%, the group of touching was 5% and the group of the maxillary anterior incisor were slightly covered by the lower lip was 3%. 5. In the teeth displayed in a smile, displayed to second premolar was 50%, displayed to first molar was 34%, displayed to first premolar was 12%, and displayed to canine and second molar were 2%. 6. At smiling, the width of the mouth was 0.94 times of the interpupillary distance and 0.45 times of the full face width. 7. At smiling, the length of the upper lip was 0.73 times and lower lip was 0.98 times of the length in a resting postion and the width of the mouth corner was 1.19 times of the resting position.

Even the adult cleft lip and palate patient who has not had timely treatment during the growth period, can be treated with orthodontic treatment without the necessity of orthognathic surgery if only the patient is treated under correct diagnosis and fitting appliances. Initially, maxillary arch form is established by constructing trifocal circles. Posterior region can be expanded and derotated laterally with pentahelix and anterior teeth are aligned with Tiggle brackets and "ㄷ"-shaped spring. Thereafter, anterior and posterior regions are consolidated. Mandibular intercanine width should be adjusted to maxillary intercanine width which was unavoidably reduced. Mandibular anterior tooth extraction will be helpful to attain proper mandibular intercanine width and better anterior dental showing.

This study identified the differences in the morphometric characteristics of the truss and classical dimensions between diploid and triploid Far Eastern catfish, Silurus asotus, and provided methods for sorting diploid and triploid Far Eastern catfish based on morphometric observations. The significant variables were the direct distance between the anterior edge of the lower lip and the anterior insertion of the dorsal fin(DALAD), the horizontal distance between the anterior edge of the lower lip and the anterior insertion of the ventral fin (HALAV), the direct distance between the anterior edge of the upper lip and the first nostril(DAUF), the direct distance between the anterior edge of the upper lip and the second nostril(DAUS), the interorbital width(IW), and the mandible barbel length (ManBL). The more significant variables were HALAV, DALAD, DAUF, IW, and DAUS. The most useful combination of variables for separating the two groups was DALAD, IW, and DAUF, which correctly classified 85% of the catfish as triploid or diploid, and that percentage was the maximum degree of value possible (p<0.05). Triploid Far Eastern catfish had a high rate of growth in the head region and body depth during the first year after hatching. Triploid Far Eastern catfish had smaller heads and shorter mandible barbels than diploid Far Eastern catfish.

치과 임상에서 임시치아 제작은 중요한 과정 중 하나이지만 이를 별로 신경 쓰지 않는 임상가도 있다. 대다수 임시치아는 말 그대로 잠시 쓰는 것이기에 빠르고 저렴하게 만들면 된다는 생각이 더 많을 것이다. 시대가 변화하면서 빠르고 비교적 간편하게 만들 수 있는 치과용 CAD/CAM이 보급됨에 따라, 점차 임시치아 제작도 디지털화 되고 있다. 편한 것도 좋지만 무엇이든지 장단점이 존재한다. 이 글에서는 지금이 마지막 세대일 것 같은 '아나로그식 심미적인 전치부 임시치아 제작법'에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

Necrotizing fasciitis is an uncommon yet fatal soft tissue infection. Current recommended treatment includes antibiotics with repeat surgical exploration and wound debridement followed by reconstruction. In burn patients, the Meek micrograft has demonstrated a higher true expansion ratio, faster reepithelialization rate, more resilient toward infection, and reduced risk of graft failure as compared with meshed graft. To our best knowledge, the use of Meek micrografting technique in reconstruction of postdebridement wounds of necrotizing fasciitis has not been reported. Hereby, we present a case of a 57-year-old gentleman who was referred to us for wound reconstruction after surgical debridement of Fournier's gangrene and extensive necrotizing fasciitis involving the anterior abdomen and bilateral femoral region. Meek micrografting technique was used to reconstruct the anterior abdomen as the wound bed was large. Although the graft was complicated with a small area of localized infection, it did not spread across the entire graft and was successfully treated with topical antibiotics and regular wound dressing. In our case, wound reconstruction using Meek micrografting technique in a patient with extensive necrotizing fasciitis was successful and showed positive outcome. Therefore, we suggest further studies to be conducted to investigate the applications and outcomes of the Meek micrografting technique, especially in patients with extensive wound bed and limited donor site availability.
