A traumatically intruded tooth is one that is forcefully and abruptly dispaced from its position into the surrounding alveolar bone. Although intrusion of permanent teeth is infrequent, the sequelae compromise the longevity of the tooth and often include pulp necrosis, internal and external root resorption, rupture of periodontal ligament and loss of marginal bone. The purpose of this study was to examine three common management techniques for traumatic intrusion, observation for re-eruption, surgical repositioning & fixation and orthodontic extrusion. In the recent, the accepted treatment was to allow the permanent teeth to reerupt spontaneously for 6-8 weeks. If this did not occur, orthodontic traction was applied. The pulpal status of the teeth was monitored and either calcium hydroxide therapy or conventional endodontics was instituted following pulpal necrosis depending on the maturity of the root end. Pulpectomy and a calcium hydroxide filling were also the treatment of choice if there was evidence of internal or external root resorption. This will reduce the chance of root resorption and provide a period of monitoring prior to a definitive root canal filling.

This is a report of 4 cases of the surgical correction of mandibular prognathism with chief complaint of mastication difficulty, facial asymmetry and protrusive chin. We performed sagittal spit ramus osteotomy for the prognathism, we used the repositioning plate for conserving the condylar segment into its original position and fixed the osteotomized bone segments rigidly with adjustable monocortical plate. Intermaxillary fixation was performed during 2 weeks. As a results, we found the following advantage. 1. Rigid fixation effect like the fixation by the tandem screw. 2. Decreased postoprative swelling. 3. It is needless to do the stab incision for the transbuccal set instrument. 4. It is more convenient to perform the rigid fixation in the monocortical plate method than screw technique.

Modified surgical technique for transposition of the inferior alveolar nerve followed by immediate placement of endosseous implants in mandibles with moderate to severe atrophy are presented. Five transpositions of the inferior alveolar nerve together with the installation of 10 implants were performed in four patients. The mean postoperative follow-up time was 17 months, with a range of 8 to 20 months. All implants with functioning pontics remained stable, with no mobility or symptoms of pain and infection during the follow-up period. Neurosensory evaluation was performed using the two-point discrimination test. Two patients had objective neurosensory dysfunction at postoperative, but all the nerve function were reported as normal by the patients 4 months postoperatively.

Purpose: The orbital fat buldging may cause irregular contour of lower eyelid, which is not youthful appearance. The conventional method of fat excision may cause the eyeball to move backward and downward, making enopthalmia is inevitable. The transcutaneous approach to reach the orbital septum can increase the risks of scleral show resulting from scarification at the level of the septum orbicularis junction and damaging the vertical motor branches of the preseptal orbicularis oculi muscle of the lower eyelid. Method: From July 2007 to March 2008, total of 21 patients underwent transconjunctival capsulopapebral fascia fixation procedure. In 8 patients, the herniated fat pad of the lower eyelid was relocated back into the orbit without external skin excision using capsulopalpebral fascia fixation. But in 13 patients, excision of redundant skin of the lower eyelid was performed using pinching technique, not involving orbicularis oculi muslce. In 5 patients, lateral canthotomy was done bilaterally for good visual field. In 6 patients, lateral canthopexy was also combined to correct loosening of lower eyelid. Results: Most of the patients were satisfied after at least 5 months of follow up. No patient showed scleral show. But 2 patients complained of undercorrection slightly, without secondary operation in 1 patient and re - capsulopalpebral fascia fixtation through transconjunctival approach in another patient. Conclusion: Orbital fat repositioning using transconjunctival capsulopalpebral fascia fixation is a good procedure to show youthful appearance without increasing the risk of scleral show and also showed fast recovery compared to the conventional transcutaneous approach.

This case report presents results for gingival recession coverage following gingival grafting and for gingival biotype enhancements by visualizing soft tissue volume changes using intraoral three-dimensional scanning. A 28 year old female patient with multiple gingival recessions and a 19 year old female patient with a single gingival recession on mandibular anterior area were treated. Root coverage was performed in both cases using autogenous subepithelial connective tissue harvested from palate. Intraoral 3D scan data were obatained presurgery and at 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years postsurgery. The recession areas were recovered successfully by subepithelial connective tissue graft combined with pedicle flap repositioning, and the patients showed neither further recurrence nor post-operative complication. Soft tissue biotype changes were identified by superimposing and analyzing scan data, revealing that gingival biotype was enhanced in both cases. These cases suggest that SCTG could be advantageous in terms of the gingival biotype enhancement, as well as gingival recession coverage, and intraoral 3D scanning might be suitable for assessing post-surgical gingival biotype change.

The columella, nasal tip, lip relationship in the secondary bilateral cleft deformity remains an enigma and a great challenge for the cleft surgeon. A subset of patients with bilateral cleft lip still require columellar lengthening and nasal correction, despite the advances in preoperative orthopedics and primary nasal corrections. An approach to correct this deformity is described. This consists of 1) lengthening the columella, 2) open rhinoplasty, allowing definitive repositioning of lower lateral cartilages, ear cartilage grafting to the tip and columella when necessary, 3) nasal mucosal advancement, 4) alar base narrowing and 5) reconstruction of the orbicularis oris as required. In surgical repair of the cleft lip nose, the timing of the operation(during lip closure, before or after the puberty growth sput), and the operative technique play a key role in the final result. In this study, 13 cleft lip patients who had undergone a secondary cheilorhinoplasty at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Pusan National University Hospital were evaluated to check the proper time and method of the operation.

매복된 영구 대구치의 치료 방법으로는 교정적 견인, 외과적 재위치, 자가치아이식, 매복치아의 발치 등이 있으며, 이 중 가장 보존적인 방법인 교정적 견인이 권장된다. 그러나 매복된 영구 대구치의 교정적 견인 시 치아를 이용한 고정원의 확보는 고정원의 상실을 동반할 수 있으며, 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위한 노력의 일환으로 골성 고정원 장치가 개발되었다. 본 증례 보고에서는 영구 대구치가 맹출하지 않는다는 주소로 본원에 내원한 3명의 환자에서 매복치아를 외과적으로 노출하여 교정 장치를 부착하고 골성 고정원 장치를 식립하여 성공적으로 견인하였음을 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: Lateral osteotomy is an essential step in the correction of nasal bony asymmetry. Direct visualization allows accurate repositioning of the nasal bones compared to blind techniques, which require precision and manual dexterity. We propose direct visualization procedures in open corrective rhinoplasty. Methods: The technique was used on 16 patients. All patients underwent open rhinoplasty with a columellar incision. The marginal incisions were extended on either side to allow access to the piriform aperture. A double hook was used to caudally retract the lower lateral cartilages and the fibrous connections between the upper and lower lateral cartilages were released until the piriform aperture was visualized. Through the incision, lateral osteotomy was performed using a reciprocating saw at that time with direct visualization. Additional procedures including augmentation rhinoplasty, hump resection, septoplasty and tip plasty were performed simultaneously. Results: This method provided excellent exposure to the lateral nasal bones and allowed the lateral osteotomy to be carried out precisely using the reciprocating saw. Conclusion: This extended open rhinoplasty method is suitable for most individuals, allowing a wide surgical field.

임플란트 술식은 그 동안 많은 발전을 하였고, 자연치를 대체할 훌륭한 치료법임에는 부인할 수 없지만 치주인대가 존재하지 않는 구조적 한계점, 발치 직후 시작되는 bundle bone의 흡수는 자연치와 같은 적절한 emergence profile을 만들어내기 어려울 수 있고 이는 심미적인 결과로 이어질 수 있다. 만약 해당 환자의 구강 내에 건전한 제3대구치가 있고, 결손부위의 염증상태가 심각하지 않으면 건전한 제3대구치를 결손된 부위로 이식하여 치아를 재건할 수 있다. 성공적인 자가치아이이식술은 저작기능을 회복하고, 자가치아를 이용하기에 생체 친화적이며, 치조골의 흡수를 예방하는 훌륭한 치료이기 때문에 가능하기만 하다면 첫번째 치료로 충분히 고려될 수 있을 것이다.
