The purpose of this study was to compare effects of the bioceramics on healing processes of the alveolar bone defects in dogs. Five adult dogs aged 1 to 2 years were used in this study. Experimental alveolar bone defects were created surgically with a #1/2 round bur at the furcation area of the buccal surface of the mandibular 3rd, 4th premolars and 1st molar. Fifteen experimental alveolar bone defects were devided into three groups according to the type of graft materials. The groups were as follows : 1) flap operation with dense hydroxyapatite( DHA group ) 2) flap operation with porous hydroxyapatite( PHA group ) 3) flap operation with natural coral ( NC group ) At 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12 weeks, dogs were serially sacrificed and specimens were prepared with Hematoxylin-Eosin stain and Mallory stain for light microscopic evaluation. The results of this study were as follows : 1. In every group, inflammatory cell infiltrations were seen at 1st weeks due to surgical trauma, however inflammatory response owing to graft materials were not seen. 2. In every group, the appearance of connective tissue around graft materials was loosely formed at the initial stages, however the connective tissue was densely formed at 2 weeks. 3. The presence of osteocytes were observed at 2 weeks in the natural coral group, however the osteocytes were appeared at 6weeks in the dense hydroxyapatite group. 4. A new bone was formed from the base and walls of the defect and gradually expanded toward the graft materials. 5. A resorption of the natural coral occurred irregularly at the periphery of the material, therefore the size and shape of the natural coral were reduced at 6 weeks. 6. At 12 weeks, the porous hydroxyapatite and natural coral were surrounded by newly formed bone most completely, however dense hydroxyapatite was surrounded by newly formed bone in part.

자가골막은 골결손부에서 골형성을 자극할 수 있는 능력과 조직유도재생술의 이상적인 차폐막이 갖추어야 할 여러 조건들을 만족하고 있다. 치주조직의 재생 술식에 적용시 임상적으로 다른 차폐막을 사용한 정도의 치주낭 감소와 임상적인 부착증진을 얻었다고 보고되고 있으나 이러한 임상적인 긍정적인 결과가 치주조직의 재생을 반드시 의미하는 것이 아니므로 조직학적 평가가 필요하다. 이에 본 실험은 성견의 하악 소구치에 2급 분지부 골결손을 형성하고 상악 견치의 협측 변연치은 정상 3 mm 하방에서 채취한 자가골막을 이식한 경우와 자가골막에 Calcium carbonate 이식을 병용하였을 때 치주조직의 재생에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 실험은 잡종 성 견 6마리를 이용하였다. 실험군은 모두 3개 군으로 나누었다. 대조군은 골결손부의 외과적 처치 후 치주판막으로 봉합한 군, 실험 I군은 골결손부에 외과적 처치 후 자가골막만 이식한 군, 실험 II군은 골결손부에 자가골막과 Calcium carbonate 이식을 병용한 군으로 하였다. 희생은 각각 술후 2, 4, 12주에 시행하였고 광학 현미경적 관찰을 시행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 임상적으로 잘 치유된 소견을 보였다. 광학현미경적으로 관찰시 2주째에 대조군은 상피의 근단이동이 심하였고 홈하방 부위에서만 골조직의 개조현상이 관찰되었으나 자가골막을 이식한 실험 I, II군에서는 상피의 하방이동은 미약하였고 홈상방으로 많은 골양조직이 관찰되었다. 조직계측학적으로 상피대는 실험군과 대조군 모두 4주와 1 2주째에 큰 변화가 없었다. 치주조직의 신부착 양은 실험군 대조군 모두 1 2주에 4주보다 더 증가하였으며 실험 I, II군이 대조군에 비하여 많은 경향을 보였으나 실험 I, II군간의 차이는 없었다. 이식된 자가골막은 시간이 경과함에 따라 골막이 주위조직과 생착되어 4주이후에는 관찰되지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 보아 이식된 자가골막에 의한 치주조직 재생은 비교적 양호하였으며 상피의 하방증식을 억제할 수 있어 흡수성 차폐막으로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The 3 beagle dogs aged over one and half years and weighed 14 to 16 Kg were utilized in this study. Horizontal furcation defects were induced around 3rd, and 4th premolars bilaterally. BMP-4 in conjunction with EGF and BMP-4 only were applied in the right and left premolars respectively. 1 animal was sacrificed at 2nd week, 4th week, and 8th week, after regenerative surgery respectively. Semi-thin sections using glass-knife were stained with hematoxylin- eosin and trichrome for light microscopic study. The results were as follows : 1 . The long junctional epithelial downgrowth was observed in both area applied with BMP-4 and with BMP-4 and EGF at 2nd week after the surgery. 2 . The extensive regeneration of new bone and cementum was appeared at 4th week and the maturation of bone was observed at 8th week in both area applied with BMP-4 and with BMP-4 and EGF. 3 . The root ankylosis and resorption was presented along the exposed root surface at the coronal 1/3 of defect in the BMP-4 applied site, but it was not shown in the site applied with BMP-4 in conjunction with EGF at the 4th week. At 8th week, the root ankylosis was apparently appeared in the BMP-4 and EGF applied site as well as in the BMP-4 applied site. 4 . The periodontal ligament tissue including Sharpey's fiber inserted into cementum and alveolar bone, was formed along the exposed root surface in the area applied with BMP-4 only, but in the site applied with BMP-4 and EGF, the collagen fiber running parallel to the root surface without Sharpey's fiber, was observed in the periodontal ligament space at 4th and 8th week. Within the above results, BMP-4 had the remarkable capability to regenerate the periodontal tissue and EGF had possibility to prevent from the root ankylosis. Therefore, growth factors including BMP-4 and EGF may have the strong possibility to be utilized in the clinical periodontal treatments.

The purpose of this study was to compare effects of various bone grafts on periodontal regeneration of alveolar bone defects in dogs. Seven adult dogs aged 12 to 18 months were used in this study. Experimental alveolar bone defects were created surgically with a #1/2 round bur at the furcation area of the buccal surface of the mandibular 3rd, 4th premolars and 1st molar. Each experimental alveolar bone defects were grafted with dense hydroxyapatite, natural coral, and decalcified freeze-dried bone, and respectively divided into DHA, NC, DFDB group. An area without bone graft was divided into control group. At 1,2,4,6, and 12 weeks, dogs were serially sacrificed and specimens were prepared with Hematoxylin-Eosin stain and Mallory stain for light microscopic evaluation. The results of this study were as follows : 1. In control group, the matrix change of granulation tissue was observed at 1 week. And in experimental groups, the appearance of connective tissue around graft materials was loosely formed at 1 week, but densely formed at 2 weeks. 2. In every group, the slight formation of new trabecular bone was seen from remaining bone at 1 week. 3. The DHA and NC particles were gradually encapsulated by new trabecular bone from remaining bone, and the osteoid tissue was directly induced from DFDB particles. 4. The presence of osteoblasts was first observed at 1 week in control group and at 2 weeks in NC group, but at 6 weeks in DHA group. 5. In DHA group, the resorption of particles was not observed until 12 weeks. But in NC and DFDB group, the particles were resorbed at 6 weeks and replaced by new bone. And the amount and size of particles were reduced, and their border represented irregular form. In summary, in three experimental groups the inflammatory or foreign body reaction were slight, but the regeneration of new osteoid tissue and the matrix change of dense connective tissue fiber were observed. Especially, NC and DFDB materials were considered as the biocompatible graft materials which were effective in the regenertion of new bone.

편측성 II급 부정 교합 환자를 만나는 것은 임상에서는 흔한 일이지만, 치료 방법은 제한적 인 것이 사실이다. 그 중에서도 asymmetric head-gear는 그 사용의 횟수에 비해 정확하고 완전한 이해가 부족한 실정이며, 효과를 극대화시키기 위한 장치의 디자인에 대한 정보 역시 아직도 논란이 많고, 그 동안의 연구들도 확실한 해답을 주지는 못하고 있다. 더욱이 asymmetric iace-bow를 유한요소법을 통해 해석한 것은 그 예를 찾아볼 수 없었기에 본 연구를 시행하게 되었다. 발치나 교정치료의 경험이 없는 정상교합자를 대상으로 유한요소법을 사용하여 편측성 II급 부정교합의 상악 치열궁을 모델링하고, RMO사의 Face-Bow($Penta-Form^{TM}$/Medium size)를 기본 모델로 오른쪽의 outer-bow가 15mm, 25mm, 35mm씩 짧은, 세 개의 asymmetric face-bow를 모델링한 후, 편측성 II급 부정교합 상악 치열궁 모델의 좌,우측 상악 제 1대구치에 세 종류의 asymmetric face-bow를 적용, 편측당 0.3kgf의 힘으로 견인하여 비교한 결과, 다음의 결론을 얻었다. 1. 양쪽 제 1 대구치가 받는 힘의 총합은 세 경우 모두에서 거의 차이가 없었으나, outer-bow의 길이가 짧아질수록 근심위치된 치아가 받는 힘의 크기는 증가하였고, 정상 위치된 치아가 받는 힘의 크기는 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 2. 양쪽 제 1 대구치가 받는 측방력은, 정상 위치된 치아에서는 outer-bow의 길이가 짧아질수록 협측으로의 힘이 커졌고, 근심 위치된 치아에서는 협측으로의 힘이 작아지는 경향을 보여, outer-bow의 길이가 짧아질수록 전체적인 측방력이 정상 위치된 치아의 협측으로 이동되는 경향을 보이긴 했지만, 양쪽 제 1 대구치 모두 협측으로 힘을 받는 것으로 나타나 "Archial Expansion Effect"를 보였다. 3. 양쪽 제 1 대구치가 받는 원심력과 정출력, 그리고 distal tipping의 양은, 정상 위치된 치아에서는 outer-bow의 길이가 짧아질수록 감소하였고, 근심 위치된 치아에서는 outer-bow의 길이가 짧아질수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 4. 양쪽 제 1 대구치의 rotation은, 정상 위치된 치아에서는 distal-in의 rotation을 보였으며 outer-bow의 길이가 짧아질수록 그 양이 증가하였고, 근심 위치된 치아에서는 두 가지의 결과를 나타냈는데, outer-bow가 15mm 짧은 경우에는 distal-in의 rotation을 보였으나, 25mm와 35mm 짧은 경우에는 distal-out의 rotation을 보여 15mm와 25mm 사이에 변환점이 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 5. 치근 분지부 직하방에서 치근막의 초기 응력분포를 관찰한 결과, 정상 위치된 치아의 원심협측 치근에서 outer-bow의 길이가 짧아짐에 따라 압축응력이 구개측에서 원심측으로, 그리고 협측으로 이동하는 양상을 나타내었다. 6. 치근 분지부 직하방에서 치근막의 초기 응력분포를 관찰한 결과, 정상 위치된 치아의 원심협측 치근을 제외한 근심협측 치근과 구개측 치근, 그리고 근심 위치된 치아의 세 개의 치근 모두는, outer-bow의 길이가 짧아질수록 응력의 크기만 변할 뿐 전체적인 응력분포의 양상에는 변화가 없었다.

The purpose of this study was to study of the effects of the bioglass and the natural coral on healing process of the alveolar bone defects. Three adult dogs aged 1 to 2 years were used in this study. Experimental alveolar bone defects were created surgically with surgical bur and bone chisel at the furcation area of the buccal surface of the right and left mandibular 3rd, 4th premolars. Twelve experimental alveolar bone defects were devided into four groups according to the type of graft materials. The groups were as follows : 1. flap operation with root planing & curettage(Negative control group) 2. flap operation with autogenous bone(Positive control group) 3. flap operation with bioglass(BG group) 4. flap operation with natural coral(NC group) At 2, 4, and 8 weeks, the dogs were serially sacrificed and specimens were prepared with Hematoxylin-Eosin stain for light microscopic evaluation. The results of this study were as follows : 1. The defect areas were filled with granulation tissue at two weeks in negative control group. But in other groups, the appearance of connective tissues around graft materials were formed more densely and the response of inflammation by graft materials itself was not found. 2. In every control and experimental groups at two weeks, there was seen the accumulation of the formation of new bone trabeculae at the bottom of defects and gradually expanded toward the graft materials and in autogenous group there was slightly seen the formation of new cementum. 3. There was seen the erosion of central portion of bioglass particles at two weeks in BG group, and the erosion of the central portion was developed more progressively and was filled with bone-like tissues at eight weeks. 4. The natural coral particles were encapsulated by densely connective tissues and seen the formation of new bone tissues at four weeks and developed more new bone and cementum formation at eight weeks. From the results of this study, the bioglass and the natural coral may be biocompatible and have a weak adverse reaction to the periodontal tissues.

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate on the biodegradability, biocompatibility and tissue regenerative capacity of synthetic bioabsorbable membranes in beagle dogs. For animal study, 9 adult beagle dogs were used to examination, on the surgical implantation of membranes and histological analysis. In each animal, the 3rd and 4th premolars of the both sides of the mandible were selected as test teeth. Two types of bioresorbable membranes including "Guidor membrane", "S-membranes" were used to examining for biological activity, and also Gore-tex membranes was used for positive control. Surgically created defects were made in 2 premolars of both sides of the mandible at $3{\times}4mm^2$ in size and tested membranes were implanted in the defected area. A plaque control regimen was instituted with daily tooth brushing with a 0.1% chlorhexidine digluconate during experimental periods. All the experimental animals were sacrificed after 2, 4, and 8 weeks from surgery and undecalcified slides were prepared using the "sawing and grinding" technique described by Donath and Breuner". In biodegradability, all the membranes were started their biodegradation from two weeks after implantation and gradually demolished of their frame morphology from eight weeks. However, demolition of membranes in 8 weeks after implantation was highest in Guidor membranes and followed by S-membranes. Biocompatibilityof two kinds of biodegradable membranes including Guidor and S-mambrane were shown to be well tolerated to the surrounding tissue, and were minimal accumulation of inflammatory cell infiltration around the implanted membranes to compare with Gore-tex membrane. Regeneration of defected alveolar bone was initiated from two weeks of membrane implantation and new bone formation was gradually increased from that time. However, pattern of new bone formation on the defected areas of two kinds of biodegrable membranes was almost similar and quite competitive comparing with Gore-tex membrane. These results implicate that bioresorbable membranes should be highly useful tool for guided tissue regeneration of periodontal defects.

PDGF-BB has been recognized as a highly potential growth factor for guided tissue regeneration in periodontal defect. This study carried out histologic and histometric evaluation of $200ng/cm^2$ PDGF-BB loaded bioresorbable membrane made from polyglycolic and polylactic acid. It was tested for its biocompatibility, ability to prevent epithelial downgrowth and amount of periodontal regeneration. Without membrane and PDGF-BB unloaded bioresorbable membrane were used as control. Healthy six beagle dogs were used. Each dog was anesthetized and buccal flaps were reflected in the mandibular and maxillary premolar areas. Buccal alveolar bone between the mesiobuccal and distobuccal line angles was surgically removed on the lower 2nd and 4th premolar in mandible, 2nd premolar in maxilla, to a level 4mm apical to the cementoenamel junction with creating a Class II buccal furcation defect for available space. Care was taken not to remove the root cementum layer and rubber impression materials were placed over each surgically created defect. Flaps were repositioned and sutured. Reconstructive surgery was performed 1 month after defect preparation. PDGF-BB loaded membranes and controls were randomly placed on maxillary 2nd premolars and mandibular 2nd and 4th premolars. Plaque control regimen was instituted with daily brushing with a 0.1% chlorhexidine digluconate during experimental periods. The animals were sacrificed 2 and 5 weeks after surgery and undecalcified specimens were prepared for histologic evaluation. The degree of coronal regrowth of new bone, new cementum and the amonut of new bone areas formed on the defected area of the PDGF-BB loaded membrnae turned superior to without membrane and drug unloaded membrane. Experimental membrane could prevent the epithelial downgrowth irrespective of drug loaded or not and showed good biocompatiblity, These results implicated that PDGF-BB loaded bioresorbable membrane could be highly useful tool for guided tissue regeneration of periodontal defects.

Purpose: Recent interest has focused on intentional replantation to restore an original tooth. Some studies have shown successful results with intentional replantation for periodontally involved teeth. For long-term success of replantation, a healthy periodontal status of the recipient site is required so that delayed replantation is more suitable for periodontally involved teeth. To reveal the ideal timing for delayed replantation of periodontally involved teeth, the healing process of extraction sockets after extraction of periodontitis-induced teeth in rats was evaluated. Methods: Twenty-eight rats were randomly divided into two groups: a control group (n=8) and test group (n=20). In the test group, periodontitis was induced by a ligature around the cervix of the mandibular first molar of all of the rats. Two weeks later, the mandibular first molars were extracted in all of the animals. The animals were sacrificed on days 0, 3, 7, and 10 after extraction and histological and immunohistochemical analysis was performed. Results: In histological analysis of the test group, inflammatory cell infiltrate was found abundantly in the remaining periodontium 3 days after tooth extraction and decreased gradually at later time points. In immunohistochemical analysis of the test group, both interleukin-6 (IL-6) and, tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) were numerous in the furcation area at each postextraction day. IL-6 was stained more heavily between 3 and 7 days after extraction; at day 10 after extraction, little staining was observed. TNF-${\alpha}$ staining was more intense at 3 days after extraction and gradually weakened at later points in time. Conclusions: Within the limits of this study, it takes at least 10 days to resolve periodontal inflammation in rat extraction sockets.

Purpose: This study compared the diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans obtained with 2 CBCT systems with high- and low-resolution modes for the detection of root perforations in endodontically treated mandibular molars. Materials and Methods: The root canals of 72 mandibular molars were cleaned and shaped. Perforations measuring 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 mm in diameter were created at the furcation area of 48 roots, simulating strip perforations, or on the external surfaces of 48 roots, simulating root perforations. Forty-eight roots remained intact(control group). The roots were filled using gutta-percha (Gapadent, Tianjin, China) and AH26 sealer (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland). The CBCT scans were obtained using the NewTom 3G (QR srl, Verona, Italy) and Cranex 3D (Soredex, Helsinki, Finland) CBCT systems in high- and low-resolution modes, and were evaluated by 2 observers. The chi-square test was used to assess the nominal variables. Results: In strip perforations, the accuracies of low- and high-resolution modes were 75% and 83% for NewTom 3G and 67% and 69% for Cranex 3D. In root perforations, the accuracies of low- and high-resolution modes were 79% and 83% for NewTom 3G and was 56% and 73% for Cranex 3D. Conclusion: The accuracy of the 2 CBCT systems was different for the detection of strip and root perforations. The Cranex 3D had non-significantly higher accuracy than the NewTom 3G. In both scanners, the high-resolution mode yielded significantly higher accuracy than the low-resolution mode. The diagnostic accuracy of CBCT scans was not affected by the perforation diameter.
