This study was undertaken to obtain the average canal length of upper & lower anterior teeth which was important in canal length measuring procedure of endodontic treatment. It was based upon 827 out-patients who had endodontic treatment on their upper & lower anterior teeth at the Department of Operative Dentistry, Dental Infirmary, Yonsei Medical Center from February, 1978 to June, 1984. The 1249 teeth of these patients were devided into sex and age groups. The root canal length of these teeth were measured. The following results were obtained; 1. The mean root canal length of upper & lower anterior teeth were as follows; Upper central incisors : 21.8mm Upper lateral incisors : 21.0mm Upper canines : 24.1mm Lower central incisors : 18.6mm Lower lateral incisors : 19.9mm Lower canines : 22.6mm 2. There was no significant difference in root canal length between sex. (P > 0.05) 3. There was no significant difference in root canal length between age groups. (p > 0.05) 4. The distribution of upper central incisors showed the highest distribution followed by upper lateral incisors and lower central incisors between 10 to 40 year old age groups, and there was no signigicant difference in the rest of the age groups. There was no significant difference in sex distribution, which was 49.5% for males and 50.4% for females. The number of the upper anterior teeth was 74.3% of all the specimens and the lower anterior 25.7%, and 40.6% of all the specimens were upper central incisors.

임상가가 주로 접하게 되는 과잉치는 주로 1~2개인 경우가 거의 대부분을 차지한다. 드물게 보고되는 다수 과잉치는 1~2개의 과잉치의 경우보다 교정적인 합병증을 유발할 가능성이 높아지며, 인접치아의 손상가능성 또한 증가하게 된다. 상악 전치부에 호발 하는 과잉치는 상악 전치의 치간 이개, 맹출 장애, 전위, 인접 치아의 치근흡수 그리고 함치성 낭종의 형성 등 다양한 문제점들을 일으킬 수 있다. 따라서 조기에 발견하고 인접 구조물에 위해를 주지 않는 다면 이른 시기에 외과적 적출술을 시행해 주는 것을 권한다. 최근에는 정기 검진과 방사선적 진단 장비의 발달로 이러한 대응이 원할 해 질 수 있는 여건이 마련되었다. 본 증례는 상악 전치부에 발생한 3개의 과잉치를 가능한 인접치의 손상을 줄이고, 유치의 잔존을 목표로 두 번에 걸쳐 발거를 시행하였다. 개인 치과에서 시술을 하였기에 CBCT (Cone-Beam Computed Tomography) 와 같은 진단 장비의 도움을 얻지 못하는 상황에서 브라스 와이어를 이용한 과잉치의 심도 확인법을 응용하였다.

치배형성기 발육 이상으로 유치열이나 영구치열에서 정상보다 많이 발생하게 된 치아를 과잉치라 한다. 과잉치는 형태에 따라 정상 치아와 형태가 비슷한 보충치(supplementary tooth)와 형태가 다른 흔적치(rudimentary tooth)로 나눌 수 있다. 대부분의 과잉치는 흔적치의 형태를 가지며 보충치는 드물게 나타난다. 보충치는 상악 측절치 부위에서 호발하며 정상 전치와 유사한 형태와 크기를 갖기 때문에 진단시 특별히 주의를 기울여야 한다. 미맹출 과잉치는 상악 전치의 맹출 장애 및 전위, 치간 이개, 치근 흡수, 낭종 형성 등의 합병증을 유발할 수 있으므로 조기에 진단하고 치아 배열 상태 및 치아 발육 단계에 따라 적절한 치료를 시행하는 것이 중요하다. 본 3 증례는 상악 측절치부에 편측 혹은 양측으로 보충치 형태의 과잉치를 갖는 증례로서 맹출 관찰 및 외과적 발거, 교정 치료 및 레진 수복을 통해 치료하였다.

Objectives: The water fluoridation program has been implemented since 2008, in a region of Geoje City. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the water fluoridation program on caries prevention in the permanent dentition. Methods: Evaluation surveys were conducted on 8-, 10- and 12-year-old children in the fluoridated and non-fluoridated regions of Geoje City, in 2015. The survey included 834 children from the fluoridated regions and 703 from the non-fluoridated regions. The data obtained from the survey were analyzed using the IBM SPSS statistical package version 23.0. The effectiveness of community water fluoridation in caries prevention was estimated by the differences in the decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT) and decayed, missing, filled surfaces (DMFS) scores, between the program and control groups. The mean numbers of fissure-sealed teeth and surfaces were adjusted to reduce their confounding effect. Results: The mean DMFT and DMFS scores (0.69 and 0.91, respectively) of 10-year-olds from the fluoridated regions, after adjusting for the numbers of fissure-sealed teeth and surfaces, were significantly lower than those of the 10 year olds (DMFT: 0.95, DMFS: 1.32) from the non-fluoridated regions. The effectiveness of water fluoridation on caries prevention in the permanent dentition, estimated based on the differences in the mean DMFT and DMFS scores, adjusted for the number of fissure-sealed teeth and surfaces, between the program and control groups of 10-year-old children, was 27.4% and 31.1%, respectively. Conclusions: These results suggest that the effectiveness of water fluoridation on caries prevention in the permanent dentition, in Geoje City was so high that this program should be implemented in other regions in Korea as well.
