This study evaluated the effects of rehabilitation of existing coal mining spoils on species composition and species diversity. The species composition of most rehabilitated stands differed from that of the reference stands, and thus did not suggest successful rehabilitation. However, stands subjected to restorative treatment many years ago showed higher species diversity than the reference stands and thereby met the goals of rehabilitation. Our results demonstrate that restorative treatments practiced in the past created a heterogeneous ecological space with regard to the surrounding areas. Therefore, even though species diversity increased several years after rehabilitation, this does not indicate that the treatment achieved true rehabilitation success. The treatment did result in temporary stability through increased species diversity, but it could not be described as successful rehabilitation in terms of biological integrity with the surrounding ecosystems.

Dental Caries which has high prevalence rate, accounts for majority of dental diseases. Many treatment and preventive treatment has been developed, thereby reducing the prevalence rate, but in our country, fluoridization has not spread widely yet, so prevention has not been done satisfactorily. When dental caries progresses, irreversible damage of tooth structure occurs. In initial dental caries, demineralizing tooth structure can be remineralized, so restorative treatment is unnecessary. In this study, 20 teeth restored with composite resin without fluoride release were used and divided into two groups. Incipient dental caries were artificially made and demineralization procedure was done for 1 and 2 weeks, for each group. Changes in mineral contents around the margins were analysed with confocal laser scanning microscope. The results were as follow. 1. Both total fluorescence of the lesion and average fluorescence of the lesion of remineralized samples decreased compared to demineralizing state. (p＜0.01) 2. Confocal laser scanning microscopy can be used in quantitative analysis of mineral change. In result, confocal laser scanning microscopy can be used in quantitative analysis of mineral change and it could be used in many different fields of dentistry in the future.

Three cases of treated permanenet teeth are presented. A horizontal root fracture was treated by endodontic treatment in which coronal segment only was done. A replanted incisor is ankylosed because of false restorative method and long extraoral period. Resorption of traumatized bone can be seen in the third case. The prognosis of traumatized incisor depends on proper restoration, adequate amergency treatment and periodic follow-up check.

Long QT syndrome (LQTs) is a rare congenital disorder of the heart's electrical activity. Patients with LQTs are at increased risk of developing fatal ventricular arrhythmias. Elevated levels of sympathetic stimulation can exacerbate this risk. Successful behavior management is indispensable in the treatment of patients with LQTs. However, many drugs involved in pharmacologic behavior management are known to adversely affect the QT interval. Therefore, careful selection of a sedative drug is essential in avoiding such incidences. A 10-year-old boy with a known diagnosis of LQTs required restorative treatment due to dental caries at the permanent molar. He required sedation since treatment was painful and dental phobia can trigger sympathetic stimulation, creating a dangerous situation for patients with LQTs. Therefore, the treatment was performed over two sessions under moderate sedation involving propofol combined with nitrous oxide. Restorative treatment was successful without any complications under sedation with a target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol. There was no significant QT prolongation during pulpal treatment. Propofol TCI may be a good candidate for sedation in patients with LQTs.

치아에 대한 심미적 관심이 높아지면서 치아의 변색이나 착색을 개선하려는 치아미백제의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 치아 미백은 치아의 색조를 바꾸는 보존적이고 간단하면서도 경제적인 치료 방법이다. 그러나 주의 깊게 치료한다 하더라도 미백제의 농도와 적용시간에 따라 많은 부작용이 나타났다. 치아 미백제가 치과용 수복재에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구로는 과산화수소의 활성기 산소가 복합레진의 경도와 인장강도, 표면 거칠기 및 색상변화에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구, 가정용 치아미백제가 복합레진의 변색에 미치는 영향 등이 있다. 치아 미백제는 심미충전재의 색상과 특성, 금속재료의 변색과 부식, 보철재료의 특성 등에 영향을 줄 수 있으며, 심미 수복재에 적용하였을 때 치아미백제를 사용하는 목적과는 상반되는 결과를 초래할 수도 있으므로 더 많은 연구가 필요하다. 미백 치료한 후의 충전은 치아와 수복재간의 결합력을 상당히 감소시킨다. 그러므로 미백치료 후 복합레진의 충전 시기는 최소한 1-3주 후에 충전하기를 권장한다. 그리고 여전히 임상에서는 미백 후 충전에 대해 어떻게 처리해야 하는지의 방법이 불분명하다. 따라서 이러한 문제들을 보다 정확하고 명료하게 밝혀줄 더 많은 연구가 필요한 단계에 있다. 또한 치료 전에 발생 가능한 여러 가지 부작용에 대해 환자에게 미리 설명을 하여야 한다. 임상에서 치아미백의 안전하고 심미적인 치료를 하기 위해서 미백효과를 내는 주성분의 종류 뿐 아니라 함량과 구강 내 유지시간, 구강내 수복물의 상태를 고려하여 정확하고 적절한 방법으로 시술이 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다. 이번 연구에서는 다양한 미백제의 농도에 따라 수복재와 수복물에 미치는 영향과의 관계를 많은 연구자들의 실험 결과로서 알아보고자 한 것으로, 앞으로는 실험이 생체내 조건에서도 이루어져서 환자의 안전을 위한 미백제의 생체 적합성이 필수적인 평가가 되어야겠다.

Statement of the problem: In case of poor bone quality or immediately loaded implant, various strategies have been developed focusing on the surface of materials to improve direct implant fixation to the bone. The microscopic properties of implant surfaces play a major role in the osseous healing of dental implant. Purpose of study: This study was undertaken to evaluate bone response of ion beam-assisted deposition(IBAD) of hydroxyapatite(HA) on the anodized surface of subperiosteal titanium implants. Material and methods: Two half doughnut shape subperiosteal titanium implants were made. The control group was treated with Anodized surface treatment and the test group was treated with IBAD of HA on control surface. Then two implants inserted together into the subperiosteum of the skull of 30 rats and histological response around implant was observed under LM(light microscope) and TEM(transmission electron microscope) on 4th, 6th and 8th week. Results: Many subperiosteal implants were fixed with fibrous connective tissue not with bony tissue because of weak primary stability. The control group observed poor bone response and there was no significant change at any observation time. However the test group showed advanced bone formation and showed direct bone to implant contact under LM on 8th week. The test group observed much rER in the cell of osteoblast but the control group showed little rER under TEM. Conclusions: The test group showed better bone formation than the control group at the condition of weak primary stability. With these results IBAD surface treatment method on Anodized surface, may be good effect at the condition of weak primary stability.

Objectives: Regenerative endodontic treatment is a clinical procedure aimed at biologically regenerating damaged root canal tissue of immature permanent teeth. This study aimed to report the outcomes of regenerative endodontic treatment performed by endodontic postgraduate students. Materials and Methods: Clinical and radiographic data of 27 patients, aged 10-22 years, who underwent regenerative treatment of immature permanent teeth from 2015 to 2019 were followed up, wherein clinical and radiographic examinations were performed for each patient. Postoperative success rate and tooth survival were analyzed, and the postoperative radiographic root area changes were quantified. Results: A total of 23 patients attended the dental appointments, showing that all teeth survived and were asymptomatic. Specifically, 7 periapical pathosis cases were completely healed, 12 were incompletely healed, and 4 cases failed. Moreover, significant differences were found between discolored and non-discolored teeth, and between the presence or absence of periapical radiolucency. Additionally, 3 anterior teeth showed complete closure of the apical foramen, while the apical foramen width was reduced in 17 teeth and failed in 3 teeth. Root length was also found to have been increased in 7 anterior and 4 posterior teeth, and the average length ranged from 4.00-0.63 mm in the anterior teeth, 2.85-1.48 mm of the mesial root, and 2.73-2.16 mm of the molar teeth distal root. Furthermore, calcified tissue deposition was observed in 7 teeth. Conclusions: A favorable outcome of regenerative endodontic treatment of immature permanent teeth with necrotic pulp was achieved with a high survival rate.

While it is reasonably well known that certain dental procedures increase the temperature of the tooth's surface, of greater interest is their potential damaging effect on the pulp and tooth-supporting tissues. Previous studies have investigated the responses of the pulp, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone to thermal irritation and the temperature at which thermal damage is initiated. There are also many in vitro studies that have measured the temperature increase of the pulp and tooth-supporting tissues during restorative and endodontic procedures. This review article provides an overview of studies measuring temperature increases in tooth structures during several restorative and endodontic procedures, and proposes clinical guidelines for reducing potential thermal hazards to the pulp and supporting tissues.
