The endodontic-periodontic combined lesions have been difficult to get correct diagnosis and predictable treatment. This study was to make the experimental endodontic-periodontic combined defects in dogs for the study of the periodontal regeneration and to evaluate the efficacy of the enamel matrix protein and e-PTFE membrane in the experimental endodontic-periodontic combined defects. 5 mongrel dogs were used. The pulp chambers were opened and the plaque was inserted into the chambers to induce the periapical lesions on the mandibular second, third and fourth premolars of the dogs. 1 month later, the root canal treatments were done with gutta perch a and ZOE sealer. On the day of surgery, the periapical defects were standardized by trephine bur. The buccal dehiscence defects were made by the dental bur and bone chisels. The apicoectomy with retrofilling was done. The prepared roots were randomly selected for test and control groups. In the experimental groups, the enamel matrix derivative and e-PTFE membrane were used. Nothing was placed on the control group. Fluroscent labelling was used to evaluate the bone formation. After 4 and 12 weeks, the dogs were sacrificed and undecalcified sections were prepared and stained with toluidine blue. Those histologic sections were examined by fluorescent microscopy and light microscopy. The results were as follows. 1. In the control group, new bone was formed in the periapical defects and scarcely in the buccal dehiscence defects. New cementum was not detected at 4 and 12 weeks. 2. In the experimental groups, new bone, new cementum and periodontal ligament were found in the periapical and buccal dehiscence defects. The relative amount and the quality of the new bone, new cementum and periodontal ligament tissue that had formed on the experimental groups were superior to those of the control group. 3. The current observation implicated that e-PTFE membrane and enamel matrix protein could be the effective tools for the guided tissue regeneration of the endo-perio combined defects.

본 연구는 상악 측절치에서 발생한 구개-치은구로 인한 치수괴사와 치주병소에 관한 임상종례이다. 첫 번째 증례는 심한 골소실로 인하여 발거되었고, 두 번째 증례는 근관치료 후 치주외과적 수술을 통하여 구개-치은구를 제거하고, 합성골 이식 시행 후 흡수성막을 이용하여 치료하였다. 구개-치은구의 진단과 치료는 모두 어려우며, 많은 경우에서 발치가 선택되지만, 근관-치주 복합 치료를 통하여 구개-치은구의 성공적인 치료가 이루어질 수 있다.

Developmental dental morphological anomalies are fusion, gemination, twinning, concrescence and etc. They may cause many problems in conservative, periodontal and esthetic aspects. Fusion is a condition where two separate tooth buds unite at some stage in their development to form a bifid crown. If tooth contact occurs early, at least before the start of calcification, the two teeth may be completely unites to form a single large tooth. If tooth contact occurs after the time when a portion of the tooth crown has completed its formation, there may be union of the roots only. In fusion the dentin is always confluent. Fusion teeth is more common in the deciduous than in the permanent dentition. Fused teeth are relatively rare, and are mostly mandibular anterior teeth. Fusion of normal and supernumerary teeth or between normal teeth may occurs. The exact etiology factor of fusion is unknown, but genetic and environmental factors seems to be related. A variety of complications and subsequent treatments have been suggested on this teeth. Periodontal conditions may arise due to a groove formed at the line of fusion of the two teeth. Crowding or Protrusion with potential for malocclusion or delayed eruption of adjacent teeth. Fusion teeth appear in the anterior region, they usually cause esthetic problems. Treatments vary depending on the problem, the location, and the extent of fusion. Treatment of fused teeth has been reported from endodontic, orthodontic, periodontic, surgical and multidisciplinary. This report presents the esthetic improvements by separation of two clinical crowns. Bone reduction or endodontic treatments are not required.

치아의 통증을 호소하는 환자 중 임상검사 및 방사선학적 검사소견에서 특기할 병적 소견이 관찰되지 않는 경우 비치성 치통을 의심해보아야 하며, 근육질환, 상악동염, 신경병성 통증, 신경혈관 질환 등의 원인으로 치통이 유발될 수 있다. 이러한 비치성 치통의 경우 진성 치통과 구별하기 위하여 철저한 병력 조사 및 전반적인 임상검사가 시행되어야 하며, 진단용 국소마취를 통하여 보다 정확한 진단을 확립할 수 있다. 이러한 비치성 치통의 가장 흔한 원인 중의 하나인 근막동통은 근육조직을 촉진 시 단단한 띠가 만져지는 것이 특징적이며 이것이 발통점으로 작용하여 근육이 뻣뻣한 느낌과 피로감, 연관통, 치아에 전이되는 통증, 근긴장성 두통, 통각과민 등의 증상을 유발할 수 있으며, 특히 교근은 상악 구치부 및 하악 구치부의 통증을 유발한다. 본 증례는 우측 교근부의 근막동통에 기인한 하악 우측 구치부의 치통 양상을 운동요법, 물리치료, 약물치료 등의 통상적이고 가역적인 근육질환의 치료법을 통해 증상의 호전을 보인 증례이다. 비치성 치통은 정확하게 진단되지 않을 경우 근관치료, 치주치료, 발치 등의 불필요한 치과치료가 시행될 수 있으며, 이러한 치료를 통하여도 환자의 통증은 경감되지 않기 때문에 치과치료가 시행되기 전에 반드시 정확한 감별진단이 필요하리라 사료된다.

Chitosan is applied as a dressing for oral mucous wound and a tampon following radical treatment of maxillary sinus. Furthermore, it is being investigated as an absorbing membrane for endodontic and periodontic surgeries. A few studies have reported osteoconduction and osteogenesia at the site of chitosan implant in vivo. However, compared with soft tissue healing processes, the mechanisms concerning effects of chitosan for biological mineralization have not yet been resoil In the present study, we studied the gene expression pattern using cDNA microarray and RT-PCR analyses in hard tissue forming osteoblasts cultured with water-soluble and low molecular weight chitooligosaccharide. cDNA microarray analysis revealed that 16 genes were expressed at 〉1.5-fold higher signal ratio levels in the experimental group compared with the control group after 3 days. RT-PCR analysis showed that chitosan oligomer induced an increase in the expression of two genes, CD56 antigen and tissue-type plasminogen activator. Furthermore, the expression of mRNAs for BMP-2 was almost identical in the experimental and control groups after 3 days of culture, but slightly increased after 7 days of culture with chitosan oligomer. These results suggest that a super-low concentration of chitooligosaccharide could modulate the activity of osteoblastic cells through mRNA levels and that the genes concerning cell proliferation and differentiation can be controlled by water-soluble chitosan.

환자의 교합에 맞춰 적절한 고정성 보철물을 성공적으로 제작 및 수복하기 위해서 필요한 다양한 고려사항이 있다. 그 중 환자가 갖고 있는 교합의 형태를 파악하여 고정성 보철물에 부여하는 것은 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 견치 유도 교합, 군 기능 교합 등 여러가지 교합 형태를 파악하는데 있어서 하악의 운동을 기록하는 것이 중요한데, 1933년 Meyers에 의해 소개된 Functionally generated path (FGP) technique은 구내에서 왁스 등의 재료를 이용하여 교두가 지나가는 하악 운동로를 기록한 후 보철물 제작에 적용하는 치료 술식이다. 본 증례에서는 두 명의 환자에 있어서 상악 구치부에 이차 우식 혹은 치주염으로부터 기원한 치수 유래 병소가 있어, 근관 치료 및 치주 치료 완료 후 고정성 보철물 수복이 필요하였다. 장기적인 예후가 좋지 않은 치아이기에 측방 간섭을 최소화하기 위해 FGP technique을 이용하여 하악 운동을 기록하였다. 통상적인 석고 인상 방법이 아닌 구내 디지털 스캔을 시행함으로써 더 효율적으로 보철물을 제작하였다. 치료 후 환자와 술자 모두 기능적으로 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.
