Eighty four human maxillary first premolars were injected with china ink, decalcified, cleared and used in study, in vitro, to determine the number of root canals, the frequency and location of lateral canals, the frequency and location of transverse anastomoses, the curvature of root canals, the location of apical foramens, and the frequency of apical deltas. The results were as follows: 1. Most of the teeth demonstrated two canals, but 20.2% of the teeth were found to have one canal. 2. Of the 151 canals studied, 38.4% of the canals were found to have lateral canals and these ramifications were usually located in the apical third of the root. 3. Of the two root canals in one root, 35.7% of the canals were found to have transverse anastomoses and were usually located in the middle third of the root. 4. 15.2% of apical foramens were located directly on the root apex and 84.8% of them laterally, and 52.3% of canals showed distal curvature.

The aim of this study was to clarify whether bonding/debonding procedure will affect the occurance of enamel crack. The frequency of enamel crack was compared between before-bonding and after-debonding on 200 human extracted teeth. Each facial surface of the tooth was divided in 9 fragments. A presence of crack, which was classified by its direction as vertical, horizontal and oblique crack, was surveyed in each fragment. Number of all cracks in facial surface was 1355 at before-bonding, and 1605 at after-debonding, so it revealed significant increase rate of $18.5\%$, but compared by fragment, cracks were significantly Increased in OC, OD, CC and GC fragments. All kinds of cracks were significantly increased, especially increase rate of oblique crack reached $54.9\%$. The increase rate of cracks was not superior at any fragment or region, but some evidence was seen in CC fragment. Judging from the above, increase of crack is unavoidable with bonding/debonding procedures.

A total of 114 extracted human mandibular first molars were used to study the configuration of the floor of the chamber. The specimens were ground and the pulp chamber was examined with a magnifier and explored with sharp explorer. The study showed the shape of the pulp chamber, number of root canals, and the type of canal orifice. The results were as follows; 1. In so far as observing the shape of the pulp chamber of the teeth, 58.8% of the teeth were square, 34.2% were triangle and 7.0% were ovoid shape. 2. 58.8% of the specimens have 4 root canal orifices, 34.2% have 3 root canal orifices, 7.0% have 2 root canal orifices. 3. 41.2% of the specimens show 'H' shape, 17.6% show 'Square' shape, 31.6% show 'T' shape, 2.0% show 'reverse-T' shape and 7.0% show 'I' shape.

A total of 114 extracted human mandibular 2nd molars were used to study the configuration of the floor of the chamber. The specimens were ground and the pulp chamber was examined with a magnifier and explored with sharp explorer. The study showed the shape of the pulp chamber, number of root canals, and the type of canal orifice. The results were as follows, 1.

A total of 125 extracted maxillary first molars were used to study the configuration of the floor of the pulp chamber. The specimens were ground and the pulp chamber was examined with a magnifying glass and explored with sharp explorer. The study showed the shape of the pulp chamber, number of root canals, and type of canal orifice. The results were as follows; 1. In so far as observing the shape of the pulp chamber of the teeth, 50.4% of the teeth were trapezoid, 20.8% were inverted trapezoid, 18.4% were rectangle and 10.4% were triangle shape. 2. 71.2% of the specimens have 3 root canal orifices, and 28.8% have 4 root canal orifices. 3. 71.2% of the specimens have 1 mesiobuccal canal orifice, 23.2% have 2 mesio-buccal canal orifices joined by a groove, and 5.6% have 2 mesio-buccal canal orifices seperated each other.

Fifty two mandibular permanent canines were chosen to study the anatomy of the root canal. The experimental teeth were injected with China ink, decalcified, cleared and observed to investigate the number of root canals, frequency and location of lateral canals, the location of apical foramens, the frequency of apical deltas, and the curvature of root canals. The results were as follows: 1) all of the experimental teeth demonstrated single canal. 2) of the 52 canals, 9.6% of the canals were found to have lateral canals and the locations of the lateral canals were in the apical third of the roots 3) Thirty three apical foramens were located laterally on the root apices and nineteen foramens were located on the centers of the root apices. 4) 37 canals showed straight curvature, 12 canals distal curvature. 3 canals labial curvature.

Thirty maxillary lateral incisors were injected with china ink, decalcified, cleared and used in an in vitro study to determine the number of root canals, the frequency and location of lateral canals, the location of apical foramens, the frequency of apical deltas, and the curvature of root canals. The results were as follows: 1. Most of the teeth demonstrated single canal, but 6.7% of the teeth were found to have bifurcated canals. 2. Of the 32 canals studied, 37.5% of the canals were found to have lateral canals and these ramifications were usually located in the and apical third of the root. 3. 9 apical foramens were located directly on the root apex and 21 foramens laterally. 4. 3 canals showed mesial curvature, 20 canals distal curvature, 4 canals labial curvature, and 3 canals palatal curvature.

One hundred human maxillary first molars were injected with china ink, decalcified, cleared, and used in vitro study to determine the number of root canals, the frequency and location of lateral canals, canals per root, and frequency of apical deltas. The results were as follows; 1. The mesiobuccal root was found to contain a single primary canal in 53% of the teeth studied and two canals in 47 % of the teeth studied. 2. In mesiobuccal roots with two canals, the seperated apical foramen appeared 32% of the specimens and the common apical foramen 15% of the specimens. 3. Of the 347 canals studied, 26.9% of the canals were found to contain lateral canals and these ramifications were mainly located in the apical third of the root.

Achondroplasia is characterized by undergrowth of long bones and cartilages and by low height. The name of this disease had been called classical chondrodystrophy, dyschondroplasia, chondrodystrophy and micromelia before Parrot reported the term of this disease as Achondroplasia. We are reporting in this paper on an 3-year and 4-month-old boy with achondroplasia. The dental findings are as follows: 1. Open bite and relatively mandibular prognathism were observed in the front teeth. 2. The size, number, shape, structure of the teeth were usual and the tongue was a little bigger than the normal. 3. The metacarpal bones were short and broadening. Mesial, distal border of the prox. phalanges were irregular and also trabecular pattern was abnormal in the hand-wrist P-A view. 4. According to lat. cephalometric analysis, the cranial basis was underdeveloped.
