  • Although physiologic abrasion in normal range need not to be corrected, when hard tissue of teeth are worn abnormally fast, it can cause severe damage and destroy esthetics and, functional structure of occlusion consequently. To establish a correct occlusal plane and space for the patient with worn dentition, it is necessary to increase vertical dimension. However, actual occlusal vertical dimension remains unhanged with compensation for the increase of alveolar bone height equivalent to the decrease of teeth length. A 74-year-old male presented with worn dentition and fractured tooth. Based on the assessment of OVD including clinical findings, full-mouth rehabilitation without increase of OVD was planned. This case presents that a satisfactory clinical result was achieved by restoring the worn dentition without changing occlusal vertical dimension.

  • REM sleep behavior disorder is parasomnia characterized by unpleasant dreams and dream-enactment behaviors associated with excessive electromyography activity in REM sleep. This may appear idiopathic or secondary to other neurological or medical conditions. REM sleep behavior disorder, which appears to be idiopathic, most often implies the possibility of later neurodegenerative diseases due to synucleinopathy, so accurate diagnosis is important in predicting prognosis. For the diagnosis of REM sleep behavioral disorder, REM sleep without atonia, which appears in the polysomnography, is essential. Obstructive sleep apnea, trauma-related sleep disorders, and vigorous periodic leg movements during sleep are known as diseases that show dream enactment behavior in elderly patients. Considering that it may be accompanied by other sleep disorders that can mimic REM sleep behavioral disorders, it is important to differentiate sleep

  • Objectives : The aim of this study was to identify the factors affecting ideas of persecution in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients who underwent Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2). Methods : We retrospectively reviewed 116 patients who underwent CAPS and MMPI 2 between May 2013 and April 2020 at Veteran Health Service Medical Center. Based on the CAPS score, the patients were divided into the PTSD group (n=63, age: 58.16±17.84) and the trauma exposed without PTSD group (n=53, age: 67.34±12.05). After checking the correlation between Ideas of persecution, CAPS, and MMPI-2 scales, linear regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors for clinically relevant symptoms. Results : The PTSD group showed significant differences in Schizophrenia, Ideas of persecution, Dysfunctional negative emotions, Aberrant Experiences, Psychoticism, Negative Emotionality/Neuroticism, Anxiety, Depression, and Anger scales compared to the trauma-exposed without PTSD group. When analyzing the correlation between Idea of persecution, CAPS and MMPI-2 scales, there was a strong association with most of the scales in MMPI-2 and Idea of persecution except Disconstraint. Multiple linear regression analysis performed in PTSD group identified that risk factors for Idea of persecution were Dysfunctional negative emotions and Anger scale. Conclusions : The PTSD group had increased idea of persecution compared to the trauma exposed without PTSD group. Dysfunctional negative emotions and anger may be risk factors for idea of persecution in trauma exposed population.

  • Severely worn dentition is frequently multifactorial. It is crucial that the etiology of excessive wear be determined, but accurately diagnosing the factors responsible for tooth wear is often confusing. Before initiating the treatment of these cases, meticulous examination and determining vertical dimension are essential. A 69-year-old male patient had the chief complaint that he has worn dentition and functional and esthetic discomfort. Based on model analysis and diagnostic wax up, new vertical dimension had been determined. Provisional restorations were cemented and after 5 months permanent prostheses were fabricated. This case reports a satisfactory functional and esthetic clinical outcome achieved by restoring the vertical dimension.
