Purpose: In this study, we retrospectively investigated the medical records of patients with facial fractures and suspected cranial injuries in order to determine if there was any relationship between various facial fracture patterns and cranial injuries. Methods: Medical records were reviewed to identify patients diagnosed with facial fractures who underwent cranial computed tomography (CT) scans. Records were reviewed for gender, age, injury mechanism, facial fracture pattern, and presence or absence of cranial injuries. Facial fracture patterns were classified as isolated fractures (tripod, zygomatic arch, maxilla, orbit, and mandible), combined fractures, or total fractures. Cranial injuries included skull fractures, traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhages, subdural hemorrhages, epidural hemorrhages, and contusional hemorrhages. All cranial injuries were established by using cranial CT scans, and these kinds of cranial injuries were defined radiologically-proven cranial injuries (RPCIs). We evaluated the relationship between each pattern of facial fractures and the incidence of RPCIs. Results: Of 132 eligible patients with facial fractures who underwent cranial CT scans, a total of 27 (20.5%) patients had RPCIs associated with facial fractures. Falls and slips were the most common causes of the fractures (31.8%), followed by assaults and motor vehicle accidents (MVAs). One hundred one (76.5%) patients had isolated facial fractures, and 31 (23.5%) patients had combined facial fractures. Fractures were found most commonly in the orbital and maxillary bones. Patients with isolated maxillary fractures had a lower incidence of RPCIs than those with total mandibular fractures. RPCIs frequently accompanied combined facial fractures. Conclusion: Combined facial fractures had a significant positive correlation with RPCIs. This means that facial fractures caused by stronger or multidirectional external force are likely to be accompanied by cranial injuries.

Purpose: A Tessier classification number 7 cleft is an uncommon malformation that results from a failure of mesenchymal fusion within the maxillary and mandibular prominences of the 1st pharyngeal arch. Many operative techniques of the number 7 cleft repair have been proposed to restore function and improve aesthetics. Fifteen patients underwent repair of a number 7 cleft over 13 years by a modification of the surgical Technique, and an appraisal of the operative outcome is reported herein. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted involving 15 patients with number 7 clefts who underwent surgery from 1996 to 2009. The changes in surgical technique included skin closure, attachment of the orbicularis oris muscle, and position of the repaired commissure; the changes were analysed with a review of the medical records and the outcomes of surgery were analysed via photographs. Specifically, the technique of skin closure was changed from the a Z-plasty to a linear closure, the orbicularis oris muscle overlapped attachment was replaced by a side-to-side approximation with horizontal mattress sutures, and the position of the repaired commissure was changed from 1 mm laterally to 1 mm medially in reference to the non-cleft side. Results: A Z-plasty caused additional cutaneous scarring, an overlapped attachment of the orbicularis oris muscle caused a thick oral commissure, and the repaired commissure migrated to the lateral side, so a 1 mm, laterally-positioned commissure caused asymmetry. The altered procedure included a linear skin closure, a side-to-side orbicularis oris muscle approximation, and a 1 mm, medially-positioned commissure, which together resulted in a good outcome. Conclusion: The altered procedure for repair of a number 7 cleft as described herein, yields a short scar, no functional problems with the orbicularis oris muscle, a thin oral commissure, and symmetry of the repaired commissure.

융합(fusion)은 발육하고 있는 두 개의 독립된 치아가 상아질이나 법랑질부위에서의 결합으로 정의되며 보통 분리된 치근관과 단일의 큰 치관을 특징으로 하며 쌍생(gemination)은 단일치배내에서 조직의 함입으로 두 개의 치아로의 불완전한 형성을 이루는 발육상태로 정의되며 일반적으로 단일치근관과 큰 치관의 특징을 보인다. 융합이 정상치열의 두 개 치아사이에서 발생되었다면 치아수가 부족하게 되며 과잉치와 정상치아 사이에서 발생되었다면 정상치아수를 보일 것이며 이것은 방생과의 감별진단을 어렵게 한다. Brook과 Winter는 이러한 혼돈을 피하기 위해 'Double tooth' 라는 단어를 사용하였다. 일반적으로 증세는 없으나 임상적으로는 심미적인 문제와, 우식의 호발 치주적 문제, 치열의 문제를 보일 수 없다. 치료는 유치의 경우 일반적으로 치료가 불필요하며 영구치의 경우 심미적인 문제등으로 환자나 보호자에 의해 치료가 요구되어지기도 한다. 본 증례는 하악 영구측절치의 Double tooth로 내원한 8세된 여아로서 편측절단술(hemisection)과 치근단형성술을 시행후 비교적 양호한 결과를 얻었기에 이에 대해 보고하는 바이다.

악악면 부위의 교정적 문제는 크게 골격적인 문제와 치성적 문제로 나룰 수 있다. 치성적 문제로 인해서 많은 교합의 부조화가 발생하는데 이중 치아의 결손 또는 치아의 맹출 실패는 기능적 문제뿐만이 아니라 심미적 문제도 같이 유발한다. 또한 추가적으로 발생하는 심리적인 문제도 환자를 내원하게 만드는 중요한 이유이다. 상악골에 다수의 치아가 맹출 하지 못하는 경우에는 교합적, 심미적 문제 뿐만 아니라 치조골의 유지 또한 어렵게 하는 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 다수치의 맹출에 문제가 있는 경우에는 보다 단계적 접근이 필요하다. 본 증례의 환자는 #13, 12, 11, 23, 43이 맹출하지 못하는 문제를 주소로 내원하였으며, 상악 치아들을 맹출하게 하기위한 외과적 노출술 및 단계별 교정적 정출을 통하여 완벽한 교합을 이룰 수 있었다. 또한 추가적인 치주 처치를 통하여 치아맹출시 발생한 치은 퇴축을 제거하였다. 우측 매복 하악 견치는 자연스러운 악궁 확장과 leeway space를 이용하여 특별한 외과적 처치 없이 성공적으로 이루어졌다.

총의치 제작을 위한 개구인상법은 술자의 숙련도에 따라 다르게 나타나며, 특히 구강전정이 얕은 환자에서는 변연이 과연장되어 채득되는 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안된 폐구인상법을 통한 총의치는 연하나 교합 시 의치상연 주위 전체를 가동 점막으로 봉쇄하여 의치상 내면에 일시적 음압이 형성되게 하여 의치의 유지와 안정을 높이도록 고안된 의치이다. 또한, 인상 채득 시 교합채득 및 묘기판을 이용한다면 악간관계 기록이 동시에 이루어지기 때문에 기존의 통상적인 방법보다 환자의 내원 횟수를 줄일 수 있다. 이 증례는 구강전정이 얕아 하악 의치의 유지력이 떨어져 불편을 겪는 환자에서, 폐구인상법을 이용한 총의치로 수복한 증례이다.

This case report describes a technique in which endodontic treatment and permanent indirect restoration were completed in the same clinical appointment with the aid of a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system. Two patients were diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis of the mandibular first molar. After access preparation, root canals were located, irrigation was performed until bleeding ceased, and the coronal tooth structure was prepared for indirect restoration. Then, utilizing an interim 3-mm build-up of the endodontic access cavity, a hemi-arch digital scan was performed with an intraoral scanner. Subsequent to digital scanning, restoration design was performed simultaneously with the endodontic procedure. The root canals were shaped using the Race system under irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite followed by root canal filling. The pulp chamber was subsequently filled with a 3-mm-thick composite resin restoration mimicking the interim build-up previously utilized to facilitate block milling in the CAD/CAM system. Clinical try-in of the permanent onlay restoration was followed by acid etching, application of a 5th generation adhesive, and cementation of the indirect restoration. Once the restoration was cemented, rubber dam isolation was removed, followed by occlusal adjustment and polishing. After 2 years of follow-up, the restorations were esthetically and functionally satisfactory, without complications.

Purpose: This study investigated the accuracy of laser-scanned models and 3-dimensional(3D) rendered cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) compared to the gold standard (plaster casts) for linear measurements on dental arches. Materials and Methods: CBCT scans and plaster models from 30 patients were retrieved. Plaster models were scanned by an Emerald laser scanner (Planmeca, Helsinki, Finland). Sixteen different measurements, encompassing the mesiodistal width of teeth and both arches' length and width, were calculated using various landmarks. Linear measurements were made on laser-scanned models using Autodesk Meshmixer software v. 3.0 (Autodesk, Mill Valley, CA, USA), on 3D-rendered CBCT models using OnDemand 3D v. 1.0 (Cybermed, Seoul, Korea) and on plaster casts by a digital caliper. Descriptive statistics, the paired t-test, and intra- and inter-class correlation coefficients were used to analyze the data. Results: There were statistically significant differences between some measurements on plaster casts and laser-scanned or 3D-rendered CBCT models (P<0.05). Molar mesiodistal width and mandibular anterior arch width deviated significantly different from the gold standard in both methods. The largest mean differences of laser-scanned and 3D-rendered CBCT models compared to the gold standard were 0.12±0.23 mm and 0.42±0.53 mm, respectively. Most of the mean differences were not clinically significant. The intra- and inter-class correlation results were acceptable for all measurements(>0.830) and between observers(>0.801). Conclusion: The 3D-rendered CBCT images and laser-scanned models were useful and accurate alternatives to conventional plaster models. They could be used for clinical purposes in orthodontics and prostheses.

PURPOSE. To evaluate and compare the effect of impression type (conventional vs digital) and the number of implants on the time from the impressions to the generation of working casts of mandibular implant-supported fixed completearch frameworks, as well as on patient satisfaction. MATERIALS AND METHODS. 17 participants, 3 or 4 implants, received 2 types of digital impression methods (DI) and conventional (CI). In DI, two techniques were performed: scanning with the scan bodies (SC) and scanning with a device attached to the scan bodies (SD) (BR 10 2019 026265 6). In CI, the making of a solid index (SI) and open-tray impression (OT) were used. The outcomes were used to evaluate the time and the participant satisfaction with conventional and digital impressions. The time was evaluated through the timing of the time obtained in the workflow in the conventional and digital impression. The effect of the number of implants on time was also assessed. Satisfaction was assessed through a questionnaire based on seven. The Wilcoxon test used to identify the statistical difference between the groups in terms of time. The Mann-Whitney test was used to analyze the relationship between the time and the number of implants. Fisher's test was used to assess the patient satisfaction (P<.05). RESULTS. The time with DI was shorter than with CI (DI, $\tilde{x}=02:58$; CI, $\tilde{x}=31:48$) (P<.0001). The arches rehabilitated with 3 implants required shorter digital impression time (3: $\tilde{x}=05:36$; 4: $\tilde{x}=09:16$) (P<.0001). Regarding satisfaction, the DI was more comfortable and pain-free than the CI (P<.005). CONCLUSION. Digital impressions required shorter chair time and had higher patient acceptance than conventional impressions.

본 연구는 술 전 교정치료 전 치아 이동 예측치(initial STO)와 술 전 교정치료 후 실측치에 바탕을 둔 STO (final STO)를 비교하고자 시행되었다. 부산대학교병원 치과교정과에 내원하여 교정 및 악교정수술 복합치료를 시행 받은 환자 중 하악만 수술한 환자 40명을 선정하여 상악 제1소구치 발치 여부에 따라 두 그룹(발치 그룹 20명, 비발치그룹 20명)으로 분류하였다. 술 전 교정치료 전의 initial STO, 술 전 교정치료 후의 final STO를 작성하여 각 계측치를 수평, 수직 기준선에 대해 거리를 측정하여 비교하였다. 발치 그룹의 두 STO 비교 시 수직적으로 상악 중절치 절단연과 치근단, 상악 제1대구치 협측교두에서, 수평적으로 상악 중절치 절단연, 상악 제1대구치 근심협측교두, 하악 중절치 치근단, 하악 제1대구치 근심면과 근심협측교두에서 차이를 보였으며 비발치 그룹의 경우는 수직적으로 하악 중절치 치근단, 수평적으로 상악 중절치 절단연, 하악 중절치 절단연과 치근단, 하악 제1대구치 근심면에서 차이를 보였다. 두 STO의 차이와 initial STO 수립에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 여러 진단 요소와의 상관성 평가 시 상악 치열궁 공간 부족량이 상악 전치의 수평, 수직 및 제1대구치의 수평 위치 예측에 유의한 상관성을 가졌으며 두 그룹 모두 하악 전치 치축 각도와 하악 치열궁 공간 부족량이 하악 전치의 수평 위치 예측에 유의한 상관성을 보였다. Initial STO 작성과 술 전 교정 단계에서 이를 고려하여 진행한다면 좀 더 효율적인 치료 계획 수립 및 전체적인 치료 기간을 줄이는 것에도 도움이 될 것이라 생각한다.
