The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical applicability of a ridge splitting technique for reconstruction of narrowed edentulous alveolar ridges for dental implantation. 41 patients with 47 edentulous areas were included in this study. After corticotomy of a rectangular buccal segment and about 3-4 weeks healing period, the alveolar ridge was splitted, implant was placed. The initial ridge width varied between 2.5 and 7.0mm, average was 3.99mm. 68 dental implants were placed, and the gap between the implants and the bone is filled with various bone graft material, or none. All splitted sites showed sufficient bone volume for insertion of the implants at the moment of implantation. Over 1 year of follow-up period, five implants(7.3%) had mobility in two patients, among them, 2 implants(2.9%) sustained infection and removed. And any other complications were not noted. Our conclussion is that ridge splitting of the narrow edentulous area is a reliable and safe procedure in horizontally deficient ridges.

Soot generation by combustion process has been investigated with objective of understanding of chemical reaction responsible for its formation in a coaxial laminar propane jet diffusion flame. For the direct photos, as the coflowing air flow rate is reduced, the area of soot luminous zone increases at first, then becomes smaller and smaller, and even disappears. The aspects of soot deposition can be acquired by using nine $15{\mu}m$ thin SiC fibers are positioned horizontally across the flame. Deposited soots on SiC fibers show the soot inception point and growth and soot oxidation zone in a typical propane diffusion. Soot is not generated anymore in a oxidizer deficient conditions of near-extinction and flame is fully occupied by transparent blue flame. It suggests that nonsooting pyroligneous blue reaction is being dominant in a oxidizer deficient ambience. In comparison with luminosities of SiC fibers and flame itself, indirect evidence is found that the process of soot nucleation and growth is endothermic reaction. It is remarkable that there exists two adjacent regions to have antithesis characteristics; one is exothermic reaction of blue flame and another endothermic reaction zone of soot formation.

임플란트의 협설 측으로 잔존 골조직이 불충분할 경우 골증대술을 시행하지 않기 위해서는 작은 직경의 임플란트를 사용할 수 있다. 작은 직경 임플란트의 경우는 파절 저항성이 낮고, 골과 임플란트의 접촉 면적이 좁아 구치부에는 부적절한 것으로 여겨져 왔다. 최근의 연구에서는 새로운 임플란트 합금의 개발 및 표면 처리방법의 발전으로 구치부에서도 표준 직경 임플란트와 유사한 성공률이 보고되고 있다. 이 증례에서는 구치부 상실 부위 잔존골의 협설 폭이 부족한 상황에서 작은 직경 임플란트를 이용하여 심미적, 기능적으로 만족스러운 치료 결과를 보였다. 현재까지 추적 검사 기간은 4년 이상 되었고 특이할만한 합병증 없이 유지되었다. 향후 장기적인 안정성에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
