  • The variations of cleft lip deformities imposed the difficulty to the surgical correction for them. Straight line technique for cleft lip surgery has been ignored quite long since other techniques were developed. Initially the straight line technique was introduced and widely accepted because it is simple and easy to perform during the period of no adequate anesthetics. But it was abandoned for its several shortcomings such as tighten lip, vermilion notching, anatomical distortion, and wound contractures. Recently, some groups advocated the usefulness of straight line technique which has a significant modification from its original form. Additionally the variable degree of cleft lip deformity allows simple straight line closure for those patients. Here a case of simple straight line technique was presented and discussed for its reliability and plausible results as well.

  • In the course of surveying the anti-plaque agents for dental caries prevention, the extract of Korean green tea leaves (KGTL) was tested for inhibitory activity against Streptococcus mutans adhering to glass surfaces in the presence of crude glucosyltransferase (GTase). The extracts of KGTL showed a positive inhibitory activity against GTase. The active compound was purified through Sephadex LH-20 and MCI gel CHP-20P columns. A positive reaction was shown in the anisaldehyde-$H_2SO_4$ test, which confirmed the condensed tannin. The inhibitory compound was identified as 3-galloylprocyanidin $B_3$ through IR, negative FAB-mass, and $^{1}H$-NMR spectroscopic analyses. Acetone extract and 3- galloylprocyanidin $B_3$ of KGTL showed inhibitory effect against GTase. The percent of inhibition was determinated to be 71.84% (P<0.01) with 10 mM 3-galloylprocyanidin B3. The 3-galloylprocyanidin $B_3$, which possessed a galloyl, showed a higher inhibitory activity against glucosyltransferase than monomeric (+)-catechin and procyanidine $B_3$ which had no galloyl group.

  • 조직공학은 결손된 조직의 구조 및 기능을 신속히 수복할 수 있도록 적절한 생체소재, 세포, 활성인자 세가지 구성요소를 적절히 조합하는 것이다. 이렇게 하므로써 결손된 조직을 대체할 수 있는 세포에 대한 부착, 이동, 증식, 분화조건을 최적상태로 만들어 주는 것이다. 이러한 관점에서 치아임플랜트의 조직 공학적 적용은 다음 몇가지 관점을 고려할 수 있다. 첫째, 인공치아 임플랜트도 넓은 의미에서 그 자체로서 조직공학의 범주에 들어간다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 결손된 치아의 구조 및 기능을 신속히 회복시킬 수 있도록 조직공학적인 관점에서 검토할 수 있다. 생체소재는 표면에너지의 관점에서, 세포는 골모세표와 섬유모세포관점에서, 활성인자는 세포분화 촉진인자의 관점을 고려할 수 있다. 둘째, 치아임플랜트의 기능회복 촉진을 위한 조직공학기법을 부가적으로 적용하는 것이다. 임플랜트와 생체조직사이에 기능성 조직을 신속히 형성시키므로써 임플랜트의 기능회복을 촉진하는 적절한 생체소재, 세포, 활성인자를 적절히 이용하는 정통 조직공학기법을 적용하는 것이다.

  • 치과의 모든 정보뿐만 아니라, 공급 사슬관리, 고객의 정보까지 포함하여 통합적으로 관리해야 하므로 특정한 기능을 수행하는 기술개발의 범위보다는 환자의 구강 정보의 원활한 처리를 위한 서버 구축 및 영상의 질 및 촬영의 용이함을 위한 실시간 스트리밍 기술이 필요하다. 영상정보 판독을 통해 치주염의 위험을 보고 환자들의 치과 방문을 유도하는 것이 치료 적기를 놓치지 않기 위해 반드시 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 구강 질환 예방 및 관리를 위한 스트리밍 기반 모바일 촬영 시스템을 제안한다. 특히 환자 자신이 구강 내의 이미지를 클라이언트 앱을 통해 환부를 직접 확인해 가며 조절하여 촬영가능하도록 스트리밍 기법을 제시하며, 이 과정에서 프레임의 버퍼링 및 딜레이 현상을 사용자의 개입없이 자동 조절하는 기능을 제안한다.

  • In this study, we showed that neurons could be generated from adult canine bone marrow stem cells by culturing with $DMSO/BHA/FeCl_2$. These neurons differentiated from the bone marrow stem cells formed neurites, expressed neuron-specific markers. This differentiation was enhanced by $FeCl_2$. These results suggest that iron can effectively initiate differentiation of adult bone marrow stem cells into neurons.

  • Coatings of hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate/HA (TCP/HA) on titanium were fabricated by ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD). Significant effect of the Ca-P coatings on human Gingival Fibroblasts (HGFs) attachment and formation of type I collagen were found by using immunofluorescence microscope. TCP/HA and HA coatings exerted more HGFs attachment and collagen I formation. Comparing with HA coating, TCP/HA coating exhibited better responses during the late period of the tests. This investigation indicated that this surface modification method may enhance the biological seal at the cervical level of the titanium dental implants.

  • An image-space telecentric lens for an intra-oral 3D scanner was designed and fabricated for dental application. Since a telecentric function can provide the same results regardless of image plane position, it helps to realize a more accurate image for an intra-oral scanner. The performance of the designed lens meets the required properties for HD resolution. In particular, lateral color is corrected within 1 pixel. This system achieves depth of focus of more than 3 mm. For user convenience, the developed system consists of a prism part and an imaging part. Both parts are optimized to reduce the front size and weight of the system. In order to make the parallax sights, parallax angle was determined to be 8 degrees between two optical systems.

  • In this paper, layered UNet with warmup and dropout tricks was used to segment teeth instantly by using data labeled for each individual tooth and increase performance of the result. The layered UNet proposed before showed very good performance in tooth segmentation without distinguishing tooth number. To do instance segmentation of teeth, we labeled teeth CBCT data according to tooth numbering system which is devised by FDI World Dental Federation notation. Colors for labeled teeth are like AI-Hub teeth dataset. Simulation results show that layered UNet does also segment very well for each tooth distinguishing tooth number by color. Layered UNet model using warmup trick was the best with IoU values of 0.80 and 0.77 for training, validation data. To increase the performance of instance segmentation of teeth, we need more labeled data later. The results of this paper can be used to develop medical software that requires tooth recognition, such as orthodontic treatment, wisdom tooth extraction, and implant surgery.

  • The preclinical and clinical studies reviewed herein show that rhBMP-2 induces normal physiologic bone in relevant defects in the craniofacial skeleton. The newly formed bone assumes characteristics of the adjacent resident bone, and allows placement and osseointegration of dental implants. Clearly, the bone inducing capacity of rhBMP-2 is carrier and site dependent. rhBMP-2 in an absorbable collagen sponge carrier induces relevant bone formation in space providing defects. Space providing carries extends this possibility to non-space providing sites. Notably, some ceramic and polymeric biomaterials may substantially interfere with rhBMP-2 induced osteogenesis.
