Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between education experience, awareness and practice of infection control during the prosthodontic treatment in clinical dental hygienists. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was answered by 255 clinical dental hygienists in Seoul and Gyeonggi areas from October 10 to December 30, 2016. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of the subjects (8 items), dental prosthesis infection education experience (5 items), dental prosthesis infection awareness (5 items) and dental prosthesis infection practice (14 items) based on Likert 5 point scale. For statistical analysis, SPSS Statistic 22.0 was used. Results: A significant association was shown among education experience, awareness and practice of infection control during the prosthodontic treatment of clinical dental hygienists (p<0.001). Dental hygienists count, dental prosthesis infection education experience and awareness had positive influences, but the age group from 26 to 30 had negative influence on dental prosthesis infection practice. Conclusions: The study confimed that the dental prosthesis infection education program and continued education is necessary for the safety and health of patients, and to prevent the cross-infections of the clinical dental hygienists.

좌측 대퇴골 원위부 골육종 진단 받은 9세 여아로 광범위 절제수술과 재활용 자가골 이식술을 받은 후 하지 부동과 성장판 손상이 있어 확장형 종양 대치물로 치환수술을 시행하였다. 그 후 종양 대치물에 심부 감염 발생하여 종양 대치물 제거 후 감염을 조절하기 위한 시멘트와 골수내정을 이용한 한시적 공간 대치물을 삽입하였다. 감염이 조절된 후 외고정 장치를 이용한 하지 부동(10 cm)에 대한 교정을 시행하였고, 마지막으로 종양 대치물 재삽입을 통한 관절 기능 보존을 시행한 1례를 보고 하고자 한다.

Background : Electrolarynx, Esophageal voice, and Silicone voice prosthesis with tracheoesophageal(T-E) fistula have been used as vocal rehabilitating methods for the post-laryngectomized patients. Prosthetic rehabilitation of voice after total laryngectomy has gained wide acceptance and has become a common practice in many clinics since the pioneering works of Singer and Blom In 1979. Since the introduction of tracheo-esophageal puncture and application of Blom Singer$\circledR$ voice prosthesis in 1980, several reliable voice prostheses have been developed and are successfully being used. Objectives : Even though quality of voice produced by Silicone voice prosthesis with T-E fistula is superior to other modalities, it still has some disadvantages. We devised a new cannulatyped silicone voice prosthesis. Methods : 1) Devising a new prototype of cannula-typed silicone voice prosthesis. 2) Application of the prototype using canine animal model(laryngectormized dog) and fitting trial on human patient whose previously inserted Silicone voice prosthesis is not functioning due to presumed fungal infection. Discussion : Final form of prototype was made after several times of major and minor modifications. Insertion of the newly developed Cannula-typed Silicone voice prosthesis on canine animal model and human trial were done without any difficulty. There were no serious leakage of saliva or food during swallowing. Conclusion : The newly developed Cannula-typed Silicone voice prosthesis(So-Mang$\circledR$) and the modified replacement method will further improve the results of post-laryngectomized prosthetic voice rehabilitation. Long-term animal study and human trial are planned in the near future.

This study aims to describe the clinical experience of single and bridge crowns fabricated using a cementless screw-retained implant prosthesis system. In the case of single crown (#37), regular link (HDL) was used, and bridge crowns (#15~#24), (#26~#27), (#17~#14) (#24~#26) were fabricated by selecting regular link and short link considering the vertical height. One abutment was hex shaped to ensure that it could be mounted while preventing insertion and prosthesis rotation. The advantages of cementless implant prosthesis include shorter chair time and periodic care, strong retention with LINK abutment, safety from inflammation, bacterial infection, and complications due to peri-implant cement, and high patient satisfaction. Dentists should double-check the position of the implant fixture and dental technicians should continuously manage the fit of the link and prosthesis with digital equipment to reduce screw loosening and fractures.

Oral mucormycosis is a fungal infection observed mainly in elderly immunocompromised patients. In rare instances, the disease occurs in healthy individuals and those patients that are below preschool age. Although this condition mainly involves the maxilla, it may also manifest in any part of the oral cavity based on the source of infection. Mucormycosis of the maxilla spreads rapidly, leading to necrosis of the palatal bone and palatal perforation. Such patients are usually rehabilitated using bone grafting or free flap surgeries. However, when surgeries are delayed, palatal prosthesis is an interim treatment modality that can prevent nasal regurgitation and aspiration of food or fluids. Palatal prostheses also help with mastication, speech, and swallowing. The present case describes a rare case of oral mucormycosis in an 18-month-old male involving the maxilla that was managed by palatal prosthesis.

Infectious and inflammatory bone diseases include a wide range of disease process, depending on the patient's age, location of infection, various causative organisms, duration from symtom onset, accompanied fracture or prior surgery, prosthesis insertion, and underlying systemic disease such as diabetes, etc. Bone infection may induce massive destruction of bones and joints, results in functional reduction and disability. The key to successful management is early diagnosis and proper treatment. Various radionuclide imaging methods including three phase bone scan, Ga-67 scan, WBC scan, and combined imaging techniques such as bone/Ga-67 scan, WBC/bone marrow scan add complementary role to the radiologic imaging modalities including plain radiography, CT and MRI. F-18 FDG PET imaging also has recently been introduced in diagnosis of infected prosthesis and chronic active osteomyelitis. Selection of proper nuclear medicine imaging method will improve the diagnostic accuracy of infections and inflammatory bone diseases, based on understading of pathogenesis and radiologic imaging findings.

치관높이 공간이 과도할 경우 임플란트 몸체 혹은 구성물의 실패와 같은 고정성 보철물의 생역학적 합병증이 증가하며 치관 높이 공간이 12 mm 이상으로 과도한 경우는 고정성 보철물 선택에 유의하여야 한다. 고정성 보철물을 제작 시 치아들이 길어지므로 심미적 부위에서는 치은 색조를 띠는 재료를 사용해야 할 필요가 있다. 이러한 경우, 유지와 위생 관리가 적절하지 못하게 형성된 고정성 보철물은 음식물, 치태, 치석을 정체시키고 염증과 감염이 발생될 수 있으며 만성 염증과 감염으로 인해 외과적인 개선이 필요할 수 있다. 본 증례에서, 과도한 치관높이 공간을 가진 환자에게 발음 및 심미성을 고려하여 보철물 제작 후 보철물 주위의 치은 염증 및 부종이 발생하였으며, 그 원인이 구강위생을 어렵게 하는 보철물의 디자인으로 판단되어 치간공극을 충분히 형성한 임시 보철물을 장착 후 2개월 동안의 관찰 기간을 거치며 특이할 만한 이상 소견이 없음을 확인하였고 자가 위생 관리가 용이한 디자인으로 지르코니아 하부구조에 도재를 축성한 고정성 보철물로 구강회복을 시행하였으며, 일련의 치료과정을 통하여 부적절한 연조직 반응이 관찰 되지 않고 기능적인 면에서 만족스러운 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

The purpose of this case report and review of the literature is to provide documentation on periprosthetic hip joint infection with Flavonifractor plautii (formerly known as Eubacterium plautii), a strictly anaerobic bacterium, and to report on a successful pathway for management including staged surgical revisions and extended antibiotic therapy. A systematic review of the literature was conducted, which identified this case as only the fifth documented case of human infection with this organism; as a result, conduct of further research is warranted, based on the paucity of reports in the literature addressing anaerobic periprosthetic joint infection.

목적: 이 연구는 인공슬관절 전치환술을 받은 환자들에서 인공관절의 감염을 진단하는데 $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO 표지 백혈구 스캔의 진단적 유용성을 평가하고자하였다. 대상 및 방법: 인공슬관절 전치환술 후 감염이 의심되어 $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO 표지 백혈구 스캔 검사를 받은 20예 중 최종진단이 확실한 17명의 25예의 인골슬관절을 대상으로 하였다. 대상 환자는 남자가 1명, 여자가 16명으로, 평균연령은 65세였다. 모든 환자에서 $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO 표지 백혈구를 이용한 전신 평면영상과 슬관절 SPECT를 얻었다. 대상군은 임상적으로 감염이 의심되는 정도에 따라 3군으로 나누었다. 감염이 강하게 의심되었던 인공슬관절군 (A군: 11예), 감염 여부를 감별하기 어려웠던 인공슬관절군 (B군: 6예), 무증상의 반대측 인공슬관절군 (C군: 8예)으로 분류하였다. 최종진단은 수술, 조직소견, 균 배양 및 임상적 추적검사로 결정하였다. 결과: A군 인골관절 11예 모두와 B군의 6예중 2예, 총 13예가 감염으로 확진되었다. $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO 표지 백혈구 스캔은 A군 11예 모두에서 진양성을 보였고, B군에서는 진양성 2예, 위양성.: 1예, 진음성 3예를 보였으며, C군에서는 위양성 2예와 진음성 6예를 보였다. 전체적으로 인공슬관절의 감염을 진단하는 데 있어서 그 예민도, 특이도, 및 정확도는 각각 100%, 75%, 88%이었다. 결론: 인공슬관절 감염의 진단에 있어 $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO표지 백혈구 스캔은 매우 예민한 방법이었다. 그러나, 상대적으로 낮은 진단적 특이도를 높이기 위하여 추가적인 골수 스캔이 인공슬관절 감염이 의심되는 환자의 진단에 필요하리라 생각된다.
