Implantation of demineralized bone matrices was done into the amputated pulp in vivo and sequential reaction of the pulpal ectomesenchymal cells was observed. The bone matrices, obtained from cat long bone were crushed into below $700{\mu}m$, demineralized with 0.5N HCl and allografted into pulp of molar teeth. At seven days after implantation many undifferentiated mesenchymal cells aggregated near the matrices in the pulpal tissue. At fourteen days after implantation, the cells differentiated into preosteoblast-like cells which have secretory cell characteristics. At one or two months after implantation osteoid tissue was formed. The cells, which are located at the surface of the tissue, contained abundant dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and secretory granules in the cytoplasm. The matrix of the tissue has less collagen fibers than those in normal dentin. These results suggest that the interaction of pulpal mesenchymal cells with demineralized bone matrix can be a model which induces mineralization.

As a pan of a study on effective use of seafood processing by-products, such as cuttle bone as a calcium source, we examined on the kind of organic acid (acetic acid and lactic acid), reaction concentration (mole ratio of calcium to mole of organic acid), reaction temperature $(20\~60^{\circ}C)$ and reaction time (6$\~$24 hours) as reaction conditions for the solubility improvement of cuttle bone powder. The high soluble cuttle bone powder was also prepared from the optimal reaction conditions and partially characterized. From the results on examination of reaction conditions, the high soluble cuttle bone powder was prepared with 0.4 in mole ratio of a calcium to mole of a acetic acid at room temperature for 12 hours, Judging from the patterns of IR and X-ray diffraction, the main component of the high soluble cuttle bone powder was presented as a form of calcium acetate, and a scanning electron micrograph showed an irregular form. The soluble calcium content in the high soluble cuttle bone powder was $5.3\%$ and it was improved about 1,380 times compared to a raw cuttle bone powder. For the effective use of the high soluble cuttle bone powder as a material for a functional improvement in processing, it should be used after the calcium treatment at room temperature for about 1 hour in tap water or distilled water. from these results, we concluded that it is possible to use the high soluble cut시e bone powder as a material for a functional improvement in processing.

This paper reports histologic and histomorphometric results concerning bone healing around vent area of 16 titanium plasma sprayed IMZ implants in rabbit femurs. Bone contact around the implants 8 weeks after placement showed a great deal of variability from 14.32% to 65.94% and mean total bone contact was 33.96%. The mean percent amount of bone contact was 43.68% in inner surface of vent and 27.79% in outer surface. Histologic examination of horizontal sections of vent area showed direct contact with living lamellar bone and some woven bone. The implants surface area not in contact with bone was in contact with collagenous connective tissue. But there was no sign of foreign-body reaction.

The bone scan reflects the metabolic reaction of bone to a disease process, whether neoplastic, traumatic or inflammatory. In normal bone tissue, the labeled diphosphate complexes accumulate in the perivascular fluid next to the marrow cavity at the interface between uncalcified and calcified bone matrix. HMDP has the most rapid plasma clearance among the commonly used diphosphonate followed by MDP and then HEDP. I have studied about bone scan time by use of $^{99m}Tc-MDP$, and got 336 images from 112 patients. The result obtained as follow; 1. Accumulation rate of $^{99m}Tc-MDP$ is higher than other age groups in below 30-year old group. 2. Accumulation rate, in 10year old group, is 75.85% on 120min. but other groups are most high on 180 min. 3. The density differants between bone and soft tissue increased with time. 4. Image contrast is good in younger group than old.

Purpose: In this study the bone healing ability of autogenous tooth bone graft material as a substitute material was evaluated in a mini-pig cranial defect model through histologic examinations and osteonectin reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) quantitative analysis. Materials and Methods: A defect was generated in the cranium of mini-pigs and those without a defect were used as controls. In the experimental group, teeth extracted from the mini-pig were manufactured into autogenous tooth bone graft material and grafted to the defect. The mini-pigs were sacrificed at 4, 8, and 12 weeks to histologically evaluate bone healing ability and observe the osteonectin gene expression pattern with RT-PCR. Result: At 4 weeks, the inside of the bur hole showed fibrosis and there was no sign of bone formation in the control group. On the other hand, bone formation surrounding the tooth powder granule was observed at 4 weeks in the experimental group where the bur hole was filled with tooth powder. Osteonectin gene expression; there was nearly no osteonectin expression in the control group while active osteonectin expression was observed from 4 to 12 weeks in the experimental group. Conclusion: We believe this material will show better results when applied in a clinical setting.

Graft copolymerized polycarboxylate(PC)-type superplasticizers(PCs) which have carboxylic acid with $\pi$ bond among the molecular structure and polyethyleneglycol methyl ether methacrylate(PMEM) were synthesized by free radical reaction and investigated the chemical structure, polymerization condition, and physical and chemical properties. Also, the effects of PCs in the dispersion, adsorption and hydration of cement were evaluated. As the molecular weight of graft chain decreases, the adsorption amount on cement particles increased. It was advantageous for the flow to reduce molar ratio, the lower the side bone molecular weight, and increase the molar ratio, the larger the side bone molecular weight. The hydration reaction speed was highly delayed at day 1, due to increase in molar ratio and reduction in side bone molecular weight, but it was recovered in the days after.

Skull or facial bone defect causes cosmetic and functional problems. On going efforts were taken to reconstruct the craniofacial bone defect with autogenous bone or alloplastic materials. Between 2001 and 2003, we reconstructed 15 cases with small to large craniofacial bone defect using Hydroxyapatite paste($BoneSource^{(R)}$, Leibinger Corp., Dallas, TX, U.S.A) and calvarial bone graft. All patients were followed up by clinical examination and periodic radiographic studies for an average of 1.6 years (range, 6 months to 2 years and 6 months). One complication case was noted with $BoneSource^{(R)}$ exposure. Otherwise, there was no evidence of adverse healing, wound infection, foreign body reaction and seroma collection in other patients. Adequate 3-dimensional aesthetic restoration of calvarial contour was noted in each case. In conclusion, $Bonesource^{(R)}$ is relatively safe and rigid material for craniofacial bone defect and reasonable method for the reconstruction of craniofacial bone defects.

This study was to designed to evaluate the reactions of mouse femoral bone to bone wax. In sixteen mice with a strain of I. C. R. mouse weighed approximately 300 to 850g 2.0~2.0mm sized bone defects were created by drilling. Half of mice were inserted by bone wax and the remainder serving as control without bone wax application. The mice were sacrificed 1, 2, 6, 8 weeks after operation and block specimens were prepared for light microscopy examination. The results obtained were as follows. 1. Histologic features of tissue reaction to bone wax were the presence of inflammatory cell infiltration and multinucleated giant cell. 2. Bone ear healing from the created margin were markedly impaired by the application of bone wax 3. New bone formation was markedly decreased in bone wax application.

The complication caused by a bioabsorbable interference screw is rare after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. We report a case of delayed inflammatory reaction at the tibial tunnel and femoral tunnel where the graft tendon had been fixed with a bioabsorbable interference screw ($Bioscrew^{(R)}$) for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft.
