Background and Objectives: Bilateral sequential vestibular neuritis (BSVN) is a rare condition in which an inflammation or an ischemic damage of the vestibular nerve occurs bilaterally in a sequential pattern. We described four cases of BSVN. Subjects and Methods: Every patient underwent video-head impulse test during the first and the second episode of vestibular neuritis (VN), furthermore they have been studied with radiological imaging. Results: Contralateral VN occurred after a variable period from prior event. Vestibular function recovered from the first episode in one case. The other three patients developed contralateral VN. One case was due to a bilateral VN in association with a Ramsay-Hunt syndrome, in another patient clinical records strongly suggested an ischemic etiology, whereas in two cases aetiology remained uncertain. Two patients subsequently developed a benign paroxysmal positional vertigo involving the posterior canal on the side of the latest VN (Lindsay-Hemenway syndrome). Conclusions: Instrumental vestibular assessment represents a pivotal tool to confirm the diagnosis of VN and BSVN.

Objectives: This study provides evidence for clinical practices by analyzing present clinical Korean medicine articles about benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Methods: Articles published up to July, 2017 were found by searching "BPPV", "Benign positions", and "Vertigo" as keywords in three domestic electric databases (i.e., OASIS, NDSL, RISS). Results: The initial search resulted in 228 articles; however, only 20 articles satisfied the selection criteria and were analyzed. Of these, 40% were published in the Journal of Korean Oriental Internal Medicine, and 35% were published in 2003. When diagnosing BPPV patients, VAS scores are primarily used for clinical assessments rather than objective diagnostic tools. Banhabaekchulcheonmatang was the most frequent herbal medicine used to treat BPPV, and the most commonly used therapeutic acupuncture point was Jok-samni (ST36). The most common diagnosis of BPPV was dam-eum according to nine studies. Conclusions: Systematic and large-scale research for the standardization of BPPV treatment is needed.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the change in the position of the mandibular condyle within articular fossa by a CBCT after wearing complete denture (CD). Materials and Methods: CBCT of 34 temporomandibular joints were taken from 9 male and 8 female patients with CB $Mercuray^{TM}$ (Hitachi, Japan) before and after wearing a CD for rehabilitation. Position of mandibular condyle within articular fossa at centric occlusion was evaluated with $Vimplant2.0^{TM}$ (CyberMed, Korea) on the central parasagittal view and curved panoramic coronal view of the condylar head. A statistical evaluation was done with SPSS. Results: The range of anteroposterior positional rate (AP) of condylar head within articular fossa was -16-5 and -10-12 respectively on the right and left sides. Before wearing CD, the AP rate showed discrepancy between right and left sides (p<0.05). After wearing CD, both condyles showed a tendency to decrease in posterior condylar position (right side; p<0.05). The average discrepancy between right and left side in mediolateral positional rate (MD) was 15.5 and 4.5 respectively before and after wearing CD. The improvement was observed in mediolateral relationship of both condylar heads after wearing CD (p< 0.01). Before wearing CD, the average horizontal angle of long axis of condylar head was $79.6{\pm}2.7^{\circ}\;and\;80.1{\pm}5.7^{\circ}$ respectively on the right and left sides. After wearing CD, both condyles were rotated in the same direction in average on axial plane. Conclusion: We observed with CBCT the significant clinical evidence in case of positional change of mandibular condyle after wearing complete denture.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of the shape of the panoramic innominate line and also to examine the relation of the panoramic innominate line to maxillary posterior wall according to positional changes in panoramic radiographs of the patients who had no pathoses in the maxillary sinus and adjacent bony structures. Thus these panoramic radiographs were obtained and evaluated in standard, forward 10mm, backward 10mm, chin down 10°, and chin up 10° positions. And the following results were obtained : 1. Panoramic innominate lines were not changed in shape according to various positional changes in panoramic radiography. 2. The panoramic innominate line was observed to be more clear images and decreased distance to the posterior wall of maxillary sinus at forward 10mm and chin down 10° positions. And the panoramic innominate line was observed more blurred images and increased distance to the posterior wall of maxillary sinus at backward 10mm and chin up 10° positions.

조절성 교합기에 모형을 부착하기 위하여 안궁이전이 필요하다. 아날로그 안궁이전에서는 장비의 정확도와 작업자의 숙련도가 모형 부착 결과에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 있다. 더불어 편차가 큰 방법으로 부착된 작업 모형에서는 정확한 치과 보철물의 제작이 어려우므로, 아날로그 안궁이전으로 부착된 작업 모형의 위치 편차를 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 본 증례에서는 아날로그 안궁이전으로 부착된 상악 모형의 위치와 cone beam computed tomography 데이터를 기반으로 위치된 상악 모형의 위치를 거리 편차와 교합 평면의 각도 편차를 평가하였다. 이를 토대로 아날로그 안궁이전으로 부착된 상악 모형의 편차를 보고하였다. 아날로그 안궁이전 방법은 3 - 16 mm의 선형 편차와 5 - 7도의 교합평면 각도 편차를 가지는 상악 모형의 부착 결과를 나타내었다. 아날로그 안궁이전은 환자별로 위치 편차가 다를 수 있음을 확인했으며, 치과 보철물 제작에서의 부정확성을 초래할 가능성이 있다. 이러한 결과는 임상에서 아날로그 안궁이전 방법이 상악 모형을 부착하는 과정에서 큰 편차가 있을 수 있음을 나타내었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Vertigo/dizziness is a common complaint in patients who are seeking a primary health clinic. Vertigo is traditionally attributed to damage of the vestibular system. Many peripheral and central vestibular disorders are usually presented with vertigo. However, patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a leading cause of vertigo, may present with postural lightheadedness, near faint, imbalance rather than true vertigo. On the contrary, patients with orthostatic hypotension may present with true spinning vertigo, not dizziness. Persistent postural perceptual dizziness, a second most common cause of dizziness (after BPPV), is mainly occurred after organic vestibular disorders such as BPPV or vestibular neuritis, and classified as a chronic functional vestibular disorder. This article describes non-vestibular disorders presenting dizziness and/or vertigos, which conditions may be misdiagnosed as structural vestibular disorders.

The present study explored the influence of temporomandibular disorders(TMD) with anterior open bite on swallowing. Fifteen subjects with anterior open bite(group A), 9 subjects with anterior open bite and TMD(group B), and 24 subjects without malocclusion or TMD symptoms (group C) were included. BioPAK system(Bioresearch Inc., Milwaukee, WI, USA) was used to record the muscle activities of anterior temporal, masseter, sternocleidomastoid(SCM) and anterior digastric muscles during maximum clenching and swallowing. Positional change of the mandible during swallowing was also recorded using the same system. The obtained results were as follows: 1. Group A, B, and C did not show significant differences each other in the muscle activity of resting position in most of head and neck muscles. 2. Group B showed significantly lower muscle activity in maximum clenching than group C in anterior temporal(p<0.01), masseter(p<0.05), SCM(p<0.05) and digastric muscles(p<0.05). 3. Group A showed significantly lower muscle activity during swallowing than group C in anterior temporal and masseter muscles(p<0.01). Group B showed significantly lower muscle activity during swallowing than group C in anterior temporal(p<0.01), masseter(p<0.01), and SCM muscles(p<0.05). 4. Group A and B showed increased positional change of the mandible during swallowing measured from vertical, anteroposterior and lateral aspects, and prolonged swallowing(p<0.05). 5. After given instructions for normal swallowing pattern, group A and B showed increased muscle activity during swallowing in anterior temporal, masseter and SCM muscles(p<0.01). Positional change of the mandible and time elapsed for swallowing also decreased after the instruction(p<0.01). 6. Occlusal splint did not change the muscle activity during swallowing. However, vertical change(p<0.01) and swallowing time(p<0.05) were decreased with splint.

During diagnostic process of the orthodontic patients, it is not unusual to find palatally erupted canines. Palatally erupted canines are related with the positional abnormalities rather than the tooth size/arch-length discrepancies. It is very important to conserve the original arch shape during traction of palatally erupted canines to their proper position. On the following case, the patient was diagnosed as malocclusion with palatally erupted canines, and were treated by 0.9mm auxiliary arch wire during traction of ectopic canines for maintenance of the original arch shape.
