From Jan. 1998, 28 young children patients with complete amputations at zone I or II were replanted using a microscopic technique. Children's average age was 4.5 years and the amputation levels were zone I in 12 cases and zone II in 16 cases. Overall survival rate was 57%(16 cases). In children, the advantages of the replantation for distal digital amputations are nearly normal length, good soft tissue coverage with nail and cosmetically high patient satisfaction but surgical technical difficulties are much greater than in adults.

Purpose: Owing to improvement of microscope, microsurgery implements, and microsuture, finger replantation has shown much development. With high success rate of microsurgery in children, positive results have been reported ever from distal amputation. Here, we report the patients demographics, methods, and results of the microsurgery performed in children in our hospital for the last 8 years. Methods: From the medical records of 21 patients who had given the treatment in our hospital from January 2000 to December 2007, we analyzed patients' sex, age, operative method, and complication retrospectively. Results: The number of male patients was twice as many as female, where most patients belong to the ages of five to ten years. Operative methods performed in this study included end - to - end anastomosis of artery and vein, vein graft, and epineurial suture. As a result, 19 out of 21 cases were successfully accomplished, and four of them went through the debridement of necrotic tissue due to the partial necrosis of the lesion. A one - year follow - up observation was done after surgery and most of them were almost fully recovered like in their previous state. Conclusion: The success rate of finger replantaion in children is continuously improving despite the difficulty of vessel anastomotic procedure, rehabilitation treatment and management after surgery. We report the satisfactory results of pediatric finger replantation technically and aesthetically.

Digit that were formerly assessed as non replantable may now be replanted with the help of salvage procedure. In case that, venous repair is either marginal or technically impossible and postoperative venous congestion developed following replantation, are treated with the application of medical leeches. From July 1997 to April 1998, the authors performed arterial anastomosis and venous drainage using medical leeches in 3 children(The age of the patients ranged from 13 months to 6 years.) to have a result of aesthetic and functional success with minimizing the complications. Leech therapy has many advantages, to avoid injuring of finger tip, to decrease focal capillary coagulation, to prevent severe bleeding, and to prevent thromboembolism. The authors conclude that the use of medical leeches shows promise as a safe and effective method of providing temporary venous drainage in replanted digits.

완전탈구된 치아의 치료법은 재식술을 들 수 있는데, 이는 치조와에서 이탈된 치아를 가능한 빠른 시간 내에 재식립하는 술식이다. 일반적으로 재식술의 성공여부는 치수와 치주인대 손상의 정도, 치아상실 시부터 치조와 내로 재식될 때까지의 경과시간, 탈구된 치아의 보관 상태, 치근의 발육 정도 등에 좌우된다. 그 중 치아상실 시부터 재식까지의 경과시간이 특히 중요한데, 일반적으로 30분 이내에 재식을 시행한 경우에는 90%이상의 성공률을 보인 반면 30분에서 90분 사이에서는 43%, 90분 이상 경과 시에는 7%의 성공률을 보인다고 알려져 있다. 본 증례는 완전탈구 후 오랜 시간이 지연되어 재식을 시행하였으나 치근유착을 통해 비교적 양호한 임상적 결과를 얻었다. 이러한 치료로 결국은 치아의 손실이 일어날지 라도, 이것은 환자 및 보호자의 사고에 따른 충격을 감소시켜주고, 자체로 공간 유지장치로서의 기능을 할 수 있으며, 발치에 따른 치조골의 흡수를 늦추는 한편, 적극적인 보철치료를 위한 시간을 벌어줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

수직적으로 치관-치근 파절된 전치부에서 파절은 치근을 따라 다양한 부위에서 일어나기 때문에 그 깊이에 따라 치료 방법이 결정된다. 파절선이 치관부에 근접한 경우 치은 판막을 형성하여 파절 부위를 노출시키거나 교정적 또는 외과적으로 치아를 정출시키는 방법 등을 고려해 볼 수 있지만, 파절선의 위치가 깊은 경우 그 예후는 불량하며 치근의 1/3 이상을 넘어선 경우에는 발치가 일반적이다. 그러나 성장기 아동에서 상악 중절치의 발치는 심미적 문제, 치조골 흡수, 발음 문제 등 여러 합병증을 초래하게 되므로 성장기 동안 치아를 보존하는 것을 최우선의 목표로 한다. 그러므로 수직 치관-치근 파절된 전치부 치아의 치료 시 발치 대신 복합레진으로 파절선을 수복한 후 재식하는 의도적 재식술을 대안으로 선택할 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 외상으로 인하여 상악 중절치의 치관-치근 파절이 치근 1/2 정도로 깊게 발생한 혼합치열기 환아에서 해당치아를 의도적으로 발치하고 복합레진으로 파절 부위를 수복한 후 재식하였다. 이후 2년 동안 관찰한 결과 특이한 임상적 증상 없이 유지되고 있으며 심미적으로도 만족할 만한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이 방법은 술식에 민감하며 장기적 예후에 대한 보고는 부족하지만, 치아를 보존할 수 있는 새로운 방법이라는 점에서 가치가 있다고 사료된다.

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate, by means of a questionaire, the parental awareness of the emergency management of avulsed teeth in children. 297 parents were surveyed during a six week period at Yooseuk elementary school in Seoul. The results indicated that the person who experianced a avulsion of teeth was 16.6%. 35% of parents would attempt replantation of an avulsed tooth but further questioning showed they did not know the correct procedures. 36% of parents were unaware of adequate time for emergency dental services. 62% of parents felt they should seek professional help urgently following an avulsion injury, but their knowledge of transport media for the tooth was poor. Only 8% of parents knew that milk was the medium of choice for both washing and transporting an avulsed tooth. 76% of parents surveyed had never received advice in what to do in the event of an accident where a tooth was avulsed. This study revealed the need for educational campaigns aimed at parents to increase their knowledge of the emergency procedures required when a tooth is avulsed.

Dentoalveolar (DA) trauma, which can involve tooth, alveolar bone, and surrounding soft tissues, is a significant dentofacial emergency. In emergency settings, physicians might lack comprehensive knowledge of timely procedures, causing delays for specialist referral. This systematic review assesses the literature on isolated DA fractures, emphasizing intervention timing and splinting techniques and duration in both children and adults. This systematic review adhered to PRISMA guidelines and involved a thorough search across PubMed, Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and the Cochrane Library from January 1980 to December 2022. Inclusion and exclusion criteria guided study selection, with data extraction and analysis centered on demographics, etiology, injury site, diagnostics, treatment timelines, and outcomes in pediatric (2-12 years) and adult (>12 years) populations. This review analyzed 26 studies, categorized by age into pediatrics (2-12 years) and adults (>12 years). Falls were a common etiology, primarily affecting the anterior maxilla. Immediate management involved replantation, repositioning, and splinting within 24 hours (pediatric) or 48 hours (adult). Composite resin-bonded splints were common. Endodontic treatment was done within a timeframe of 3 days to 12 weeks for children and 2-12 weeks for adults. Tailored management based on patient age, tooth development stage, time elapsed, and resource availability is essential.

상악 견치의 매복은 소아치과 의사가 흔히 접할 수 있는 맹출장애이며, 이를 방치하였을 경우 인접치의 치근 흡수, 낭종 형성 등의 임상적인 문제점을 유발할 수 있다. 이에 대한 치료는 간단한 유치 발치에서부터 매복치아의 교정적 견인, 외과적 자가이식 등 다양한 방법을 고려할 수 있다. 이 중 자가 이식은 매복치아가 교정적 견인술을 시행하기 어려운 위치에 존재하거나 재위치 시키는데 실패했을 경우에 매복치아의 발거에 앞서 고려할 수 있으며, 그 예후는 치근의 완성도, 환자연령, 외과적 술식, 근관치료 시기, 치아고정 기간 등에 의해 결정된다. 본 두 증례들은 혼합치열기 말기에 상악 견치가 매복된 환자에서 그 매복 위치가 자발적인 맹출 유도나 교정적 견인 및 배열이 어렵다고 판단된 경우이며, 자가 이식 후 근관치료와 교정 치료를 시행하고 현재까지 성공적으로 유지되고 있어 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: Typical cross finger flap is still a good method for reconstruction of fingertip injuries. However, it is necessarily followed by great loss and aesthetically unpreferable result of donor finger. Hereby, we introduce a modification of cross finger flap with reduction pulp plasty and full thickness skin graft, with which we could reduce the defect size of injured fingertip and donor site morbidity at the same time, without any need for harvesting additional skin from other part of hand. Method: This method was performed in the patients with fingertip injuries of complete amputation or in case of loss of fingertip due to necrosis after replantation. Firstly, reduction pulp plasty was performed on the injured finger to reduce the size of defect of fingertip. Additional skin flap was obtained from the pulp plasty. Secondly, cross finger flap was elevated from the adjacent finger to cover the defect on the injured finger. At the same time, defect on the donor finger produced by the flap elevation was covered by full thickness skin graft with the skin obtained from the pulp plasty of injured finger. Results: Flap and graft survived without any necrosis after surgical delay and flap detachment. All of them were healed well and did not present any severe adversary symptoms. Conclusion: Cross finger flap with reduction pulp plasty and full thickness skin graft is an effective method that we can easily apply in reconstruction of fingertip injury. We think that it is more helpful than the usual manner, especially in cases of children with less soft tissue on their fingers for preservation and reduction of the morbidity of donor finger.
