The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of an endodontic infection on presence of furcation involvement in periodontally-involved mandibular molars. All first and second mandibualr molars in 45 patients were selected if at least one was root-filled or had a possible periapical radiolucency. The sample consisted of patients from a referral population at a periodotnal clinic which represented an adult population with a mean age of 47.5 years (range 31 to 63) For mandibular molars with periapical destruction at both roots, frequency of horizontal furcation depth ${\geqq}$ 3 mm was significantly more compared to teeth without periapical destruction. Mean periodontal probing depth was significantly greater at mandibular molars with periapical destruction. It is suggested that a root canal infection in periodontitis-involved molars may potentiate periodontitis progression by spreading of endodontic pathgens through patent accessory canals and dentinal tubules. In conclusion, an endodontic infection in mandibular molars was found to be associated with additional attachment loss in the furcation area, and may thus be considered to be one of several risk factors influencing the prognosis of molars in periodontitis-prone patients.

유구치의 깊은 우식은 치수병소을 유발하고 이를 조기에 치료하지 않을 경우에는 치수강저의 수많은 부근관을 통하여 치근분지부 병소로 이어진다. 지금까지 대부분의 교과서나 문헌에서는 이와 같은 경우를 발치의 적응증으로 기술하여 왔고 임상에서도 상례적으로 발치를 흔히 시행하였다. 그러나 유구치의 조기 상실은 수많은 부작용을 낳는 것이 필연적이다. 어린이의 골재생 능력 이 우수하며, 치수강저와 치근분지부를 잇는 많은 부근관이 있음을 생각해 볼 때 유구치 치수 내의 감염원을 치수절제술로 제거하고, 이미 발생한 치근분지부 병소에 대해서는 소파술을 시행한다면 치근분지부 골조직의 신속한 재생이 가능하지 않을까 하는 의문이 제기되었다. 본 증례는 $3{\sim}6$세 어린이에서 유구치 치근분지부 방사선 투과상이 $2{\sim}4mm$ 정도의 깊이를 보이는 비교적 경미한 수준이면서, 연조직 누공을 보이는 10개 증례를 선별하여 치수절제술과 치근분지부 소파술을 시행한 결과, 모두에서 방사선적으로 골재생이 관찰되었다. 이를 통하여 유구치 치근분지부 병소나 누공을 보이는 모든 경우가 발치의 적응증은 아니며, 이 방법이 치근분지부 병소를 가진 유구치를 잔존시킬 수 있는 하나의 대안이 될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 이 방법이 객관적 인 타당성을 얻기 위해서는, 병소의 크기와 진행정도, 계승 영구치의 성숙도, 환아의 연령 등 적응증에 대한 보다 심층적인 검토와 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.

As long as the prognosis of teeth remains a matter of concern, the endodontic-periodontal relationship will be considered a challenge for the clinician. Many etiologic factors, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, plus other contributing factors, such as trauma, root resorptions/perforations, and dental malformations, play a role in the co-occurrence of endodontic and periodontal lesions. Whatever the cause, a correct diagnosis on which to base the treatment plan is the key to successful maintenance of the tooth. This article reports the successful endodontic management of a furcation lesion in a mandibular molar that was nonresponsive to a previous periodontal surgical graft. The case had presented a diagnostic challenge for the clinicians, and this article reviews the key points that can lead to a correct diagnosis and treatment planning.

유구치의 깊은 우식으로 치수병소가 유발되어 주위 조직에 농양이 형성되는 경우를 자주 보게 된다. 특히 유구치에서 치근분지부 방사선투과성 병소를 흔히 접하게 되는데 이러한 병리적 과정에서 유구치 치근분지부 부근관은 임상적으로 매우 중요한 의미를 지닌다. 영구치의 치근분지부 부근관의 존재에 대한 연구보고는 많고 그 방법 또한 다양하였으나 유구치의 치근분지부 부근관에 대한 연구는 부족하였다. 이에 본 연구는 유구치 치근분지부 부근관의 형태적 특징과 빈도, 개통성을 이해하고자 52개의 치아를 주사형 전자현미경과 진공 흡입하에 염료를 침투시켜 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 주사전자현미경 연구에서 유구치 치근분지부 외면과 내면에서의 부근관의 빈도는 각각 60%, 35%였고, 부근관의 직경은 각각 $11{\sim}107{\mu}m$, $13{\sim}62{\mu}m$였다. 2. 진공 흡입 방법과 염료 침투법을 시행하여 치근분지부에 개통된 부근관을 가지는 유구치의 빈도는 20개의 시료중 50%이었다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare tooth surface characteristics in extracted human molars after cervical enamel projections (CEPs) were removed with the use of three rotating instruments. Methods: We classified 60 extracted molars due to periodontal lesion with CEPs into grade I, II, or III, according to the Masters and Hoskins' criteria. Each group contained 20 specimens. Three rotating instruments were used to remove the CEPs: a piezoelectric ultrasonic scaler, a periodontal bur, and a diamond bur. Tooth surface characteristics before and after removal of the projections were then evaluated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). We analyzed the characteristics of the tooth surfaces with respect to roughness and whether the enamel projections had been completely removed. Results: In SEM images, surfaces treated with the diamond bur were smoothest, but this instrument caused considerable harm to tooth structures near the CEPs. The piezoelectric ultrasonic scaler group produced the roughest surface but caused less harm to the tooth structure near the furcation. In general, the surfaces treated with the periodontal bur were smoother than those treated with the ultrasonic scaler, and the periodontal bur did not invade adjacent tooth structures. Conclusions: For removal of grade II CEPs, the most effective instrument was the diamond bur. However, in removing grade III projections, the diamond bur can destroy both adjacent tooth structures and the periodontal apparatus. In such cases, careful use of the periodontal bur may be an appropriate substitute.

The aim of this study was to evaluate clinician's detectability in the diagnosis of bone loss in the bifurcation of mandibular molars on periapical radiographs and Digital images. Periapical radiographs were obtained of the first molars in 2 dry mandibles after preparation of bony defects corresponding to degree I, degree II and degree III buccal furcation involvements. The radiographs were randomly presented to 39 clinicians(1 oral radiologist, 4 periodontist, 34 general dentists) who were asked to determine the presence or absence of bone loss. Periapical films were digitized with a TV camera. Digital images were assessed by 15 clinicians(1 oral radiologist, 4 periodontist, 10 general dentists). I. the overall diagnostic accuracy of Digital images for detection of bone loss in the bifurcation of mandibular molars was higher than that of the periapical radiographs. 2. the largest increase in diagnostic accuracy was found between lesion grade II and III on both radiographs and Digital images(P<0.05). 3. there was no significant difference between the standard state and the controlled contrast state on Digital images. 4. the overall diagnostic accuracy of I radiologist and 4 periodontists was better than that of the general dentists for detecting bifurcation involvements.

Purpose : To evaluate and compare the efficacy of digital radiographic images in the detection of bone loss at the bifurcation area of the mandibular first molar with traditional film-based periapical radiographs, Materials and Methods : One dried human mandible with minimal periodontal bone loss around the first molar was selected and an artificial alveolar bone defect at the bifurcation area was serially prepared over 18 steps. Images were taken using a direct CCD-based system and with F-speed periapical films. The images were evaluated by seven interpreters (3 radiologists, 3 periodontologists, and 1 general dentist) using a 5-point confidence rating scale. Results : The readability of both periapical radiographs and digital image increased as the size of the artificial lesion and exposure time increased (p < 0.05). Periapical radiographs offered greater readability of smaller bone defects than digital images, and the coefficient of variation of mean score between periapical radiographs and digital images showed a significant difference. Conclusion : The experimental results indicate that a significant difference in the coefficient of variation of mean score exists between periapical radiographs and digital images, and that traditional film-based periapical images offer greater readability of smaller bone defects than digital images can presently offer.

For about half a century. dental implants made of titanium have developed as a method of restoration for the tooth loss. In these days. the titanium implants seem to be considered as the alternative for the conventional prosthodontics. But its hard to say that the titanium implants are superior to the treatments that preserve the natural tooth. As this is a general opinion among dentists. the implant will not be able to be the alternative for all the prosthetic treatments. Clinically, there are many causes for extracting tooth. The severe destruction of the tooth structure or periodontal diseases leads to inevitable tooth extraction. When the complete cure is doubtful because of narrow intraoral visibility and improper accessibility in approaching to the tooth and periodontal lesion, we. clinicians often inevitably extract tooth. Passive treatments like conventional restoration, curettage or surgical flap cant be the perfect treatments for the tooth that has subgingival root caries or severe periodontal diseases involved furcation. Many clinicians might have been forced to pull out the relatively healthy tooth by the difficulties of approaching to the lesions and poor prognosis. Though the intentional tooth replantation is performed sometimes. as it doesnt have enough scientific foundation. it has not been considered as a popular treatment method yet. I have been felt keenly the necessity of positive tooth preservation, so I have been attempting the treatment that has new concept. calling Natural Tooth Implantation (NTI) clinically. NTI differs from the tooth replantation in the goal for the treatment and biological healing process. Now. I confirm that NT! is a very positive and valid method of tooth preservation. Like you can get from the name. NTI is the dental implant procedure using natural teeth and similar to the healing process of the titanium implants in many aspects. I have been using biocompatible composite resin. DRM. with NTI and got affirmative clinical results from that. So I would like to introduce.roduce.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical validity of multi-rooted teeth subjected to root-resection treatment. Over a period of 1-7 years, 60 root-resected molars in 59 patients were examined clinically and radiographically. All patients were p0eriodically recalled once or twice a year. Root-resections were due to periodontal, more specifically furcal bone loss or marginal bone loss,in 34 cases and extensive dental carious destruction in 10 cases. In other cases,root-resections resulted from 6 cases of root fracture, 6 cases of periodontal-endodontic combined lesion, and 1 case of endodontic problem. Root-resection was carried out on 26 maxillary molars and 34 mandibular molars. The results are as follows; 1. 14 cases(23.3%) were considered failures. 8 cases(13.3%) of them occurred within the first year(8 cases, 13.3%), 4 cases(6.7%)between 1-3 years, and 2 cases(3.3%) between 4-7 years. 2. 8 cases(13.3%) were considered failures due to periodontal reasons, 3 cases(5%) due to root fracture, 2 cases(3.3%) due to endodontic problem, and 1 case(1.7%) due to prosthetic problem. 3. 37 cases(61.7%) showed up for the recall appointments, and the percentage of failures(13.5%) was lower compared with that of all patients(23.3%). The results of the present study indicate that the prognosis of root-resected teeth is favourable if attention is paid to the selection of proper case and to achieving optimal oral hygiene and periodic check up.
