This clinical report describes hemisection and endodontic treatment of first molar tooth and mandible fracture repair in a dog. A 10 years old spayed female shih-tzu was diagnosed as left mandibular fracture by oral examination and dental radiography. First, partial odontectomy of mesial root of mandibular first molar placed in fracture line was performed, and then endodontic treatment of distal root and bone graft in extraction site was performed. Thereafter the fracture region was fixed with interdental wiring and acryl resin splint. Mandibular fracture site was healed without any complications, observed for 19 weeks follow-up period. Upon this result, this case is proving that fractured mandible can be treated successfully with hemisection followed by bone graft, interdental wiring and acryl resin splint to preserve the remaining tooth for mastication rather than tooth extraction.

The purpose of this study is to investigate on the clinical and radiographic patterns of residual cyst of the jaw for early diagnosis and treatment. The auther studied 87 cases of residual cyst with regard to age, sex distribution, the site of the lesion and several radiographic features. The results were as follows: 1. The average age was found to be 42.6 years, with a range of 15 to 84 years. The incidence was highest in the third and fourth decades(50.6%) and total 87 cases consist of 47 males and 38 females. 2. The common clinical symptoms were pus discharge, swelling, pain and no symptoms was presented in 5 cases(12.5%). 3. Residual cysts were found to be 46.0% maxillary anterior region, 18.4% maxillary molar region, 17.2% mandibular molar region and to be more common in the maxilla(70.1%) than in the mandible(29.9%) 4. Most of residual cysts were unilocular type(86 cases, 98.8%), showing distinct border(62 cases, 71.3%) with smooth margin(78 cases, 89.7%). 5. The adjacent teeth showed root resorption in 13 cases(14.9%), and root divergence in 16 cases(18.4%). 6. The residual cysts extended to the nasal fossa(22 cases, 22.5%), the maxillary sinus(19 cases, 19.4%) and caused the displacement of the mandibular canal wall (11 cases, 11.2%)

저자는 마찰견인법으로 상악견치 후방견인시 저항원상실을 최소화하기 위해 근심 경사된 구치를 직립시키는 Molar Uprighting Spring의 작용기전을 응용하고 마찰견인법의 장점을 이용하여 임상적으로 사용이 용이하며 저항원상실이나 견치의 조절되지 못한 경사이동(uncontrolled tipping)등의 부작용을 최소화 할 수 있는 장치인 Molar Anchoring Spring(MAS)을 고안하였다. MAS를 임상에 적용한 결과 비교적 만족스러운 결과를 얻어 이에 장치를 소개하며 MAS의 저항원 조절능력과 견치의 이동양상을 평가하기 위하여 광탄성 모형을 제작한 후 주호선에 diameter 0.009" lumen size 0.030" NiTi closed coil spring만을 장착하여 250gm의 견인력이 발생하도록 한 경우와, 같은 NiTi closed coil spring으로 동일한 견인력 이 발생하도록 하고 .017" X .025" TMA wire로 $60^{\circ}$의 tip-back bend를 부여하여 수직교정력이 60-70gm이 되도록 제작한 MAS를 제1대구치 auxiliary tube에 삽입하고 견치 전방에 걸어준 경우를 비교실험 하여 견치견인시 초기응력분포를 관찰한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 주호선(main arch wire)에 저항원 조절을 위한 조치없이 견치에 수평견인력만을 가했을 때 구치부에 심한 저항원상실은 물론 견치의 원심이동양상도 조절되지 못한 경사이동(uncontrolled tipping)으로 나타났다. 2. 구치부의 저항원 조절을 위해 사용한 MAS는 견치의 원심이동 초기에 구치부 저항원 조절효과와 견치의 정출없는 조절된 경사이동(controlled tipping)을 유도할 수 있는 장치로 나타났다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of pterygomaxillary separation on dimensional changes of dental arch following surgically-assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME). Patients and Methods: Eighteen adults who had been treated by SARME for transverse maxillary deficiency from May 2000 to August 2005 were evaluated. Thirteen patients (Group 1) were treated with subtotal Le Fort I osteotomy including pterygomaxillary separation and anterior midpalatal osteotomy. The same operation was performed in five patients (Group 2) except pterygomaxillary separation. Dental study casts were taken before operation and after removal of expansion device. And then, skeletal and dental parameters were measured pre- and post-operatively. Results: 1. Changes of mean interdental width 1) In group 1, mean maxillary interdental width was increased 70%($47{\sim}99%$), 95%($84{\sim}115%$), and 77%($57{\sim}94%$) of total expansion on canine, first premolar, and first molar region, respectively after retention. 2) In group 2, mean maxillary interdental width was increased 77%($59{\sim}100%$), 78%($45{\sim}107%$), and 86%($57{\sim}116%$) of total expansion on canine, first premolar, and first molar region, respectively after retention. 3) There was a statistical difference between the change of interdental width of group 1 and group 2 at first premolar(p<0.05). 2. Changes of mean interalveolar width 1) In group 1, mean maxillary alveolar bone width was increased 66%($42{\sim}84%$), 74%($42{\sim}104%$), and 57%($31{\sim}78%$) of total expansion on canine, first premolar, and first molar region, respectively after retention. 2) In Group 2, mean maxillary alveolar bone width was increased 73%($55{\sim}98%$), 67%($36{\sim}89%$), and 59%($48{\sim}73%$) of total expansion on canine, first premolar, and first molar region, respectively after retention. 3) There were no statistical differences between group 1 and group 2 at each teeth area. Conclusion: These results suggest that SARME without pterygomaxillary separation may allow the relatively equal expansion at both anterior and posterior teeth area and most amounts of maxillary interdental expansions were acquired with the expansion of the maxilla by SARME.

Subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastium is a relatively uncommon phenomenon. Most case of pneumomediastium are caused by iatrogenic injury on the cervical region and chest during tracheostomy. It is also well known that emphysema may occur secondary to dental treatment using high-speed air turbine handpiece, but there have been few cases of emphysema extended to involving the mediastinum. These complications are reported to occur mainly in patients after dental procedures, in particular during mandibular third molar extraction. Early recognition and conservative treatment of these problems is essential in preventing life-threatening complications such as airway obstruction, mediastinitis, pneumothorax and cardiac failure. As we report a case of 25-year-old woman with subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastium after mandibular third molar extraction using high-speed air turbine handpiece.

Third molar extraction, one of the important surgical treatments commonly practiced in dentistry, presents various symptoms after surgery ranging from temporary or mild symptoms to permanent or severe complications. However, oral burning pain, dysesthesia, parageusia, dry mouth, headache and pain in multiple teeth are not the common symptoms that patients often complain after dental extraction. Here, the authors report two cases who presented acute neuropathic symptoms mentioned above in the orofacial regions following third molar extraction. At the initial examination, the healing of the tooth sockets of two patients was normal. One patient was diagnosed as megaloblastic anemia associated with Vitamin $B_{12}$ deficiency and was referred to the Department of Hematology for assessing the underlying etiology of anemia. The laboratory test for the other patient revealed microcytic anemia related to iron deficiency. The patient with iron deficiency anemia was successfully treated with iron supplement. These two cases suggest that anemia, as an underlying systemic disease, may be a rare etiology explaining acute onset of peripheral neuropathy in the orofacial regions after third molar extraction and should be considered in the assessment of patients who report neuropathic symptoms after dental extraction.

Background: There are no studies regarding 4% articaine infiltration injection into the retro-molar area for an impacted lower third molar (LITM) surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of infiltration using 1.7 ml (single cartridge: SC) of 4% articaine versus 3.4 ml (double cartridges: DC) of 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine in LITM surgery. Method: This study involved 30 healthy patients with symmetrical LITM. The patients were assigned to receive either a DC or SC of 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine as a local anesthetic for each operation. Onset, duration, profoundness, need for additional anesthetic administration, total volume of anesthetic used, vitality of the tooth, and pain score during operation were recorded. Results: The DC of 4 % articaine had a significantly higher success rate (83.3%) than did the SC (53.3%; P<0.05). The duration of soft tissue anesthesia was longer in the DC group. The intra-operative pain was higher in the SC group with a significant (P < 0.05) requirement for a supplementary local anesthetic. Conclusion: We concluded that using DC for the infiltration injection had a higher success rate, longer duration of anesthesia, less intra-operative pain, and a lower amount of additional anesthesia than SC in the surgical removal of LITM. We recommend that a DC of 4% articaine and a 1:100,000 epinephrine infiltration in the retro-molar region can be an alternative anesthetic for LITM surgery.

Background: Third molar extraction is the most commonly performed minor oral surgical procedure in outpatient settings and requires regional anesthesia for pain control. Extraction of the maxillary molars commonly requires both posterior superior alveolar nerve block (PSANB) and greater palatine nerve block (GPNB), depending on the nerve innervations of the subject teeth. We aimed to study the effectiveness of PSANB alone in maxillary third molar (MTM) extraction. Methods: A sample size comprising 100 erupted and semi-erupted MTM was selected and subjected to study for extraction. Under strict aseptic conditions, the patients were subjected to the classical local anesthesia technique of PSANB alone with 2% lignocaine hydrochloride and adrenaline 1:80,000. After a latency period of 10 min, objective assessment of the buccal and palatal mucosa was performed. A numerical rating scale and visual analog scale were used. Results: In the post-latency period of 10 min, the depth of anesthesia obtained in our sample on the buccal side extended from the maxillary tuberosity posteriorly to the mesial of the first premolar (15%), second premolar (41%), and first molar (44%). This inferred that anesthesia was effectively high until the first molars and was less effective further anteriorly due to nerve innervation. The depth of anesthesia on the palatal aspect was up to the first molar (33%), second molar (67%), and lateromedially; 6% of the patients received anesthesia only to the alveolar region, whereas 66% received up to 1.5 cm to the mid-palatal raphe. In 5% of the cases, regional anesthesia was re-administered. An additional 1.8 ml PSANB was required in four patients, and another patient was administered a GPNB in addition to the PSANB during the time of extraction and elevation. Conclusion: The results of our study emphasize that PSANB alone is sufficient for the extraction of MTM in most cases, thereby obviating the need for poorly tolerated palatal injections.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Momordica charantia saponin (MCS) on ruminal fermentation of maize stover and abundance of selected microbial populations in vitro. Five levels of MCS supplements (0, 0.01, 0.06, 0.30, 0.60 mg/mL) were tested. The pH, $NH_3-N$, and volatile fatty acid were measured at 6, 24, 48 h of in vitro mixed incubation fluids, whilst the selected microbial populations were determined at 6 and 24 h. The high dose of MCS increased the initial fractional rate of degradation at t-value = 0 ($FRD_0$) and the fractional rate of gas production (k), but decreased the theoretical maximum of gas production ($V_F$) and the half-life ($t_{0.5}$) compared with the control. The $NH_3-N$ concentration reached the lowest concentration with 0.01 mg MCS/mL at 6 h. The MSC inclusion increased (p<0.001) the molar proportion of butyrate, isovalerate at 24 h and 48 h, and the molar proportion of acetate at 24 h, but then decreased (p<0.05) them at 48 h. The molar proportion of valerate was increased (p<0.05) at 24 h. The acetate to propionate ratio (A/P; linear, p<0.01) was increased at 24 h, but reached the least value at the level of 0.30 mg/mL MCS. The MCS inclusion decreased (p<0.05) the molar proportion of propionate at 24 h and then increased it at 48 h. The concentration of total volatile fatty acid was decreased (p<0.001) at 24 h, but reached the greatest concentration at the level of 0.01 mg/mL and the least concentration at the level of 0.60 mg/mL. The relative abundance of Ruminococcus albus was increased at 6 h and 24 h, and the relative abundance of Fibrobacter succinogenes was the lowest (p<0.05) at 0.60 mg/mL at 6 h and 24 h. The relative abundance of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens and fungus reached the greatest value (p<0.05) at low doses of MCS inclusion and the least value (p<0.05) at 0.60 mg/mL at 24 h. The present results demonstrates that a high level of MCS quickly inhibits in vitro fermentation of maize stover, while MCS at low doses has the ability to modulate the ruminal fermentation pattern by regulating the number of functional rumen microbes including cellulolytic bacteria and fungi populations, and may have potential as a feed additive applied in the diets of ruminants.

이 연구의 목적은 세 가지 형태의 헤드기어를 이용하여 상악 제1대구치의 후방이동 시 치아 주위 조직에 나타나는 응력분포를 광탄성법을 이용하여 관찰하는 것이다. 광탄성 상악모형에 장착한 헤드기어에 high-pull, straight-pull, cervical-pull의 세 가지 방향에서, face bow의 inner bow와 outer bow를 평행하게 한 상태에서 outer bow의 길이를 세 가지로 다르게 하여 적용시킨 다음 원편광기를 이용하여 응력분포를 분석하였다. 사진기를 이용하여 응력분포를 기록하고, 등색선상의 무늬차수를 이용, 응력분포를 분석하여 이차원적인 광탄성 응력분석을 시행하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. high-pull 헤드기어의 경우, 중간 길이의 outer bow일 때 치체이동에 유리한 응력 분포가 나타났다 2. straight-pull 헤드기어의 경우, 긴 길이의 outer bow일 때 좀더 치체이동에 유리한 응력 분포가 나타났으나, outer bow의 길이에 따른 응력분포의 변화는 적었다. 3. cervical-pull 헤드기어의 경우, 긴 길이의 outer bow일 때 치체이동에 유리한 응력 분포가 나타났다. 임상에서 헤드기어를 이용하여 상악 제1대구치를 후방으로 치체이동시키기 위해서는 facebow outer bow의 높이를 조정하지 않는 경우에는 high-pull 헤드기어에서는 outer bow와 inner bow를 같은 길이로, straight-pull 및 cervical-pull 헤드기어에서는 outer bow를 더 길게 하여 사용하는 것이 추천된다.
