Purposes: The aim of this study was to evaluate pulp healing, periodontal healing, root development of autotransplantation of immature third molars and show its viability in treatment of early loss of tooth in young patients Materials and methods: In this article we performed a retrospective study with 41 transplanted teeth in 36 patients. The Mean age at the time of surgery was 17 years(range $13{\sim}24$ years) and mean postoperative follow up period was 2.4 years(range $1{\sim}6$ years) We evaluated the survival rate, pulp healing, periodontal healing, root development of the above teeth Results: At the last examination 40 teeth among 41 transplants were still present so survival rate was 97.6%. The pulpal healing was found in 38 teeth of 41 transplants. The periodontal healing was found in 38 transplants. The continuous root development was seen in 38 transplants. Conclusions: From the above results, the autotransplantation of immature third molars was found to be a useful and reliable treatment method for early loss of teeth in adolescents and young adults.

본 연구는 미성숙 영구치에서 치근 파절 시 치수와 치근 치유에 영향을 주는 요인을 평가하기 위해 치근 파절위치, 치근단공의 크기, 파절편 간격을 측정하였고, 치수와 치근 치유 양상과의 연관성을 통계적으로 분석하여 치근 파절시 예후를 알아보고자 하였다. 51개의 상악 전치부 치근 파절 증례를 대상으로 치근 파절위치, 치근단공의 크기, 파절편 간격을 방사선 사진에서 길이를 측정하였다. 측정된 수치는 독립 T검증, 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 평가하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 치근 파절의 위치에 따른 치수 치유의 예후의 차이는 없었다. 그러나 치근 파절의 위치가 치근단에 위치할수록 치근 치유는 잘 일어났으며(p < 0.05), 정복 후 파절편 간격이 좁을수록 치수 치유가 잘 일어남을 확인하였다(p < 0.05).

Patients with diabetes mellitus show delayed wound healing and increased susceptibility to infection. Therefore, the effects of diabetes on pulpal and periodontal healing should be taken into consideration when treating diabetic dental traumatized patients. This case presents the treatment for dental traumatized 20 yr old female with uncontrolled type II diabetes. The traumatized upper central incisors had showed pulpal healing in early days. However, 7 mon after the trauma, the teeth had been diagnosed with pulp necrosis with apical abscess. Eventually, non surgical root canal treatment on the teeth had been performed.

The authors have observed 207 cases on the results of pulp healing after pulp capping. The results are as follows: 1) We could have success-rate of 70% in 207 cases at the ages from 14 to 59. 2) The success-rate in male is 72.4% in 87 cases, and female is 67.5% in 120 cases. So we observed that success-rate was slightly higher in male than female. 3) In view of age group, it was observed that success-rate was 79% in 129 cases at 30 ages below, 62.5% in 40 cases at 30-40 ages, 47.3% in 38 cases at 40 ages over. So we found that the failure-rate was increased by aging.

After a vital pulpotomy in human permanent teeth, the responses of the remaining pulp tissue under formocresol was studied histologically. The class I cavity was prepared on the teeth and the pulp was amputated. Formocresol was placed over the amputated tissue and the cavity was sealed with zinc phosphate cement and amalgam. The teeth were extracted after 1, and 3 weeks following the operation and were decalcified, sectioned and stained with hematoxylin and losin. Microscopic examination reveals as follows; I. Healing of the pulp at the amputated site did not occur in the pulps treated with formocresol. 2. At one week the pulps were normal except only slight inflammatory reaction. 3. At three weeks, the pulps showed the most serious inflammation, bleeding and necrotic state.

The purpose of this investigation was to study histopathological chronology and differences of the proprietary pulpcapping agents. One hundred eighty molars from thrity rats (Srague-Dawley species), weighing about 130gm, were divided into six groups. Cavities were prepared in their maxillary molars under intraperitoneal anesthesia with Secobarbital. The cavities in the right first and second molars were filled with Dycal$^{(R)}$ and the left ones were with Cavitec$^{(R)}$. Each group of rats were sacrificed at the intervals of 1, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 21 days following operation. The rats were decapituated, and the jaws were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin. Then the specimens were decalcified, embedded in paraffin or celloid, and sectioned at 6-8 ${\mu}$ in thickness through the cavities included and pulp mesiodistally. They were stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin and examined by lightmicroscope. The results were as follow: 1. The pattern of pulp healing was dependent upon the presence and character of the pulpcapping agents above. 2. Dentin bridge formation as a sign of pulp healing occurred in the 14 days after operation. 3. Dycal$^{(R)}$ reparation appeared to favor pulp bealing rather than Cavitec$^{(R)}$ preparation. 4. In the odontoblastic layer and pulp tissue specific vaculoes were showed at the 3, 5 and 7 days of the Dycal filling.

Background Amputation is commonly performed for toe necrosis secondary to peripheral vascular diseases, such as diabetes mellitus. When amputating a necrotic toe, preservation of the bony structure is important for preventing the collapse of adjacent digits into the amputated space. However, in the popular terminal Syme's amputation technique, partial amputation of the distal phalanx could cause increased tension on the wound margin. Herein, we introduce a new way to resect sufficient bony structure while maintaining the normal length, based on a morphological analysis of the toes. Methods Unlike the pulp of the finger in the distal phalanx, the toe has abundant teardrop-shaped pulp tissue. The ratio of the vertical length to the longitudinal length in the distal phalanx was compared between the toes and fingers. Amputation was performed at the proximal interphalangeal joint level. Then, a mobilizable pulp flap was rotated $90^{\circ}$ cephalad to replace the distal soft tissue defect. This modified toe fillet flap was performed in 5 patients. Results The toe pulp was found to have a vertically oriented morphology compared to that of the fingers, enabling length preservation through cephalad rotation. All defects were successfully covered without marginal ischemia. Conclusions While conventional toe fillet flap coverage focuses on the principle of length preservation as the first priority, our modified method takes both wound healing and length into account. The fattiest part of the pulp is advanced to the toe tip, providing a cushioning effect and enough length to substitute for phalangeal bone loss. Our modified method led to satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes.

본 연구의 목적은 흰 쥐(rat)를 이용하여 미성숙 단계의 치아를 발치 후 즉시 재식 하였을 때 나타나는 치수의 치유 양상을 조직학적으로 관찰하고자 하는 것이다. 생후 4주된 암컷 Sprague-Dawley 계 흰쥐의 상악 우측 제1대구치를 발거 후 원래의 치조골와 내로 위치시켰다. 재식 후 3일째부터 국소적으로 치수 내 염증 소견이 관찰되었으나, 치근 부위에서는 이미 치수의 재혈관화 및 치유가 진행되고 있는 소견이 관찰되었다. 재식 후 5일째부터는 odontoblast-like cell이 관찰되기 시작하였다. 삼차 상아질의 형성은 재식 후 1주째부터 관찰되기 시작하였으며, 2주째부터는 확실히 관찰할 수 있었다. Odontoblast-like cell 및 삼차상아질 형성은 4주째까지도 계속 관찰되었다. 재식 후 4주째에는 bone-like tissue 및 cementum-like tissue이 형성되었음을 관찰하였다. 본 실험을 통하여 흰 쥐 치아 재식 시 석회화 과정은 초기에는 삼차상아질 침착에 의해서 진행되나, 시간이 경과하면서 점차 bone-like tissue 또는 cementum-like tissue가 차지하는 비율이 증가하는 것을 관찰하였다.

After a vital pulpotomy in dogs' teeth, the responses of the remaining pulp tissue under calcium hydroxide and formocresol were studied histologically. The class I and V cavities were prepared on the teeth and the pulp was amputated. Calcium hydroxide and formocresol were placed over the amputated tissue and the cavities were sealed with zine oxide eugenol cement and zinc phosphate cement. Animals. were sacrifice after 1, 2, and 3 weeks following the operation. The teeth were decalcfied, sectioned and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Microscopic examination reveals as follows; 1. Healing of the pulp at the amputation site did not occur in the pulps treated with formocresol. 2. At one week, a thin layer of darker staining tissues just below the necrotic zone was presented in the pulps treated with formocresol. In this stage the tissues beneath the darker staining layer were normal. 3. At two weeks, the cells of the palest staining layer were showed indistinct nucleus which suggested the karyolysis and the karyorrhexis in the pulps treated with formocoresol. As reached to the middle third of the pulp, the odontoblasts were scarcely evident or missed in this stage. 4. At three weeks, the necrotic zone was reached to the middle third of the pulp canal. The cells beneath the zone showed massive infiltration of inflammatory cells in the pulps treated with formocresol. 5. Dentin bridge in the control group was deposited below the necrotic zone from the two. weeks later. 6. Normal tissues were observed ill the apical third of all. the dental pulps in all case of calcium hydroxide and formocresol.

기계적 또는 세균 부산물에 의한 만성자극이 치아에 지속적으로 가해질 경우 치근단 부위로 치수 신경 섬유의 sprouting이 증가하고 neuropeptide, cytokine의 분비가 촉진되어 파골세포의 활성도가 증가하게 된다. 이로 인해 생활치에서 치근단 병소가 발생가능하며, 이러한 기전을 이해하고 자극원을 제거해주는 보존적 치료만으로도 자연치유를 기대할 수 있을 것이다.
