Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the periodontal wound healing effect of particulate equine bone mineral on canine alveolar bone defects. Methods: Twelve adult male beagle dogs were used as study subjects. The mandibular second and fourth premolars were extracted prior to the experimental surgery, and the extraction sites were allowed to heal for 8 weeks. After periodontal probing, two-walled defects were created at the mesial and distal sides of the mandibular third premolars bilaterally, and the defects were filled with equine particulate bone with collagen membrane or bovine particulate bone with collagen membrane, or collagen membrane alone. The defects without any treatment served as negative controls. After probing depth measurement, animals were sacrificed at 10, 16, and 24 post-surgery weeks for micro-computed tomographic and histomorphometric analysis. Results: The equine particulate bone-inserted group showed significantly decreased values of probing depth and first bone contact compared to the negative control and collagen membrane alone groups at weeks 10, 16, and 24 (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the new cementum length, newly-formed bone area, or newly-formed bone volume between equine particulate bone- and bovine particulate bone-inserted groups, both of which showed significantly increased values compared to the negative control and collagen membrane alone groups (P<0.05). Conclusions: Equine particulate bone showed significant differences in probing depth, first bone contact, new cementum length, newly formed bone area, and bone volume fraction values when compared to the negative control and collagen membrane alone groups. There were no significant differences between equine and bovine particulate bone substitutes in these parameters; therefore, we can conclude that equine particulate bone is equivalent to bovine bone for periodontal regeneration.

Ankyloglossia is the presence of a lingual frenulum, which can range from a mucous membrane band to a short and thick band and, in extreme cases, to fusion of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. The effects of such a condition, in addition to speech defects and occasionally restriction of sucking, including dental deformities, such as open bite, or even prognathism. Treatment is surgical. The preferred treatment is horizontal sectioning of the frenulum down to the lingual septum and then suturing of the mucosa. The main problem after the healing of surgical wound is adhesion and contracture. Adhesion restrict the movement of tongue like tongue-tie. Z-plasty at the site of incision can solve this problem by changing the direction of scar. We have experienced a patient with ankyloglossia with speech defect, who underwent frenuloomy by Z-plasty. So we present a surgical treatment of Ankyloglossia using Z-plasty and discuss the treatment with a review of literature.

Angiogenesis refers to the formation of new capillary blood vessels, or neovascularization occurring under various physical conditions, such as development of the embryo, formation of corpus luteum, wound healing and pathological conditions including tumor growth and metastases, hemangiomas, diabetic retinopathy, rheumatoid arthritis. There are many evidences that angiogenesis is important for the progressive growth of solid tumors and also permits the shedding of metastatic tumors from the primary site. Thus, treatment of angiogenesis inhibitors might be a novel strategy for tumor growth inhibition. Normal vascular endothelial cells are in a state of differentiation and angiogenic endothelial cells migrate and proliferate, and they subsequently differentiate into vessel-forming quiescent phenotype cells, Therfore, it was speculated that a modifier of cell differentiation could also affect angiogenesis. In order to identify new antiangiogenic factors, the research was conducted to estimate the inhibitory activities of cell differentiation agents by means of chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane(CAM) assay. Hence, we have established the CAM assay for the screening of antiangiogenic agents. Using the CAM assay, we found that ursolic acid, a tumor cell differentiation-inducing agent, showed a markedly inhibitory effect on chick embryonic angiogenesis.

Studies on some biodegradable polymers and other materials such as hydrogels have shown the promising potential for a variety of surgical applications. Postoperative adhesion caused by the natural consequence of surgical wound healing results in problems of the repeated surgery. Recently, scientists have developed absorbable anti-adhesion barriers that can protect a tissue from adhesion in case they are in use; however, they are dissolved when no longer needed. Although these approaches have been attempted to fulfill the criteria for adhesion prevention, none can perfectly prevent adhesions in all situations. Overall of this work, a new method to fabricate an anti-adhesion membrane using biodegradable polymer and hydrogel has been developed. The ideal barrier for preventing postoperative adhesion would have the following properties; it should be (i) resorbable (ii) non-reactive (iii) easy to apply (iv) capable of being fixed in position. In order to fulfill these properties, we adopted solid freeform fabrication method combined with surface modification which includes the hydrogel coating, therefore, inner or outer structure can be controlled and the property of anti adhesion can be improved.

The ultimate objective of periodontal therapy is not only stopping the progression of periodontal disease, but also promoting the regeneration of lost periodontal tissue. Guided Tissue Regeneration, which is based on the principle that the goal of periodontal regeneration can be achieved by preventing apical migration of gingival epithelium and blocking cells originating from connective tissue, has been developed and used as a clinical procedure, and although it has shown excellent results in connective tissue healing, there have not been many studies showing its effect on the regeneration of alveolar bone loss due to periodontal disease. The objectives of this study are to investigate the result of 12 months-long treatment following guided tissue regeneration using expanded polytetrafluoroehylene membrane, and to observe the presence of regenerated alveolar bone. Forty-one teeth from 28 patients with clinical diagnosis of periodontitis has been selected. In fifteen of those interproximal intrabony defects, only flap operation had been carried out, and designated as the control group. Twenty-six intrabony defects received e-PTFE membrane following flap operation, and designated as the experimental group. Eleven teeth whose membrane had been exposed were excluded from the experiment. Various measurements including probing depth, loss of attachment, probing bone level and gingival recession have been recorded at 6th month and 12th month, and the significance of the changes has been analyzed. The results are as follows: 1. Probing depth at 6th and 12th month has shown a significant decrease in both groups (p<0.01), but significantly higher decrease was found in the experimental group compared to the control at the month(p<0.05). 2. Loss of attachment at 6th and 12th month has shown a significant decrease in both groups, but significantly higher decrease was found in the experimental group compared to the control (p<0.05). 3. Probing bone level at 6th and 12th month has shown a insignificant decrease in the control group and significant decrease in the experimental group (p<0.01). Significantly higher decrease in probing bone level was found in the experimental group (p<0.05). 4. Gingival recession at 6th and 12th month has shown a statistically significant increase (p<0.05), and the control group showed higher increase compared to the experimental group although no statistical significance was found. As these results have shown, the use of e-PTFE membrane in intrabony pockets results in marked decrease in the loss of attachment and probing bone level. This seems to indicate that e-PTFE membrane may play a role in alveolar bone regeneration in intrabony defects.

Purpose: The objective of this clinical presentation was to present a clinical case series report of socket preservation, sinus augmentation, and bone grafting using a horse-derived biomaterial. Methods: A horse-derived biomaterial was used in 8 patients for different indications including socket preservation following tooth extraction, osseous bone grafting, and sinus augementation procedures. Surgeries were performed by a well trained specialist and clinical radiographs were obtained at designated intervals. Biopsy cores of 2 ${\times}$ 8 mm prior to implant placement was obtained following a healing interval of 4 - 6 months. A clinical and histologic evaluation was performed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and biocompatibility of the biomaterial. Results: All surgeries in 8 patients were successful with uneventful healing except for one case with membrane exposure that eventually resulted with a positive outcome. Radiographic display of the healing phase during different intervals showed increased radiopacity of granular nature as the healing time increased. No signs of adverse effect or infection was observed clinically and the tissues surrounding the biomaterial seemed well-tolerated with good intentional healing. The augmented sinuses healed uneventfully suggesting in part, good biocompatibility of the biomaterial. Dental implants placed following socket preservation were inserted with high initial torque suggesting good initial stability and bone quality. Conclusions: Our results show that at least on a tentative level, a horse-derived biomaterial may be used clinically in socket preservation, sinus augmentation, bone grafting techniques with good intentional healing and positive results.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of bone graft materials including deproteinized bovine bone(DBB), demineralized freeze-dried bone(DFDB), freeze-dried bone(FDB) on bone formation in guided bone regeneration using perforated titanium membrane(TM). 16 adult male rabbits(mean BW 2kg) were used in this study and 4 rabbits allotted to each test group. Intramarrow penetration(diameter 6.5mm) was done with round carbide bur on calvaria to promote blood supply and clot formation in the wound area. The test groups were devided into 4 groups as follows: TM only(test 1), TM +DBB(test 2), TM +DFDB(test 3), TM +FDB(test 4). Perforated titanium membrane was contoured in rectangular parallelepiped shape(0.5mm pore diameter, 10mm in one side, 2mm in inner height), filled the each graft material and placed on the decorticated carvaria. Perforated titanium membrane was fixed with resorbable suture materials. The animals were sacrificed at 2, 8 weeks after the surgery. Non-decalcified preparations were routinely processed for histologic analysis. The results of this study were as follows: 1. Perforated titanium membrane was biocompatible. 2. Perforated titanium membrane had capability of maintaining the space during the healing period but invasion of soft tissue through the perforations of titanium membrane decreased the space available for bone formation. 3. In test 1 group without bone graft material, the amount of bone formation and bone maturation was better than other test groups. 4. Among the graft materials, the effect of freeze-dried bone on bone formation was best. 5. In the test groups using deproteinized bovine bone, demineralized freeze-dried bone, bone formation was a little. The spacemaking capability of the membrane may be crucial for bone formation. The combined treatment with the perforated titanium membrane and deproteinized bovine bone or demineralized freeze-dried bone failed to demonstrate any added effect in the bone formation. Minimization of size and numbers of perforations of titanium membrane or use of occlusive titanium membrane might be effective to acquire predictable results in the vertical bone formation.

양막은 다양한 생체재료로 이용되어 왔으며 생체적합성과 환부의 치료효능이 우수한 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 양막을 갈아 양막스폰지를 제조하고 중간엽줄기세포를 배양한 뒤 누드마우스이식을 통하여 콜라젠스폰지와 비교하여 골형성유도능에 대한 연구를 실시하였다. 연구결과 세포의 부착과 증식면에서는 두 시료가 유사하였으나, 체내에 이식한 결과 양막스포지군에서 좀 더 많은 콜라젠 분비와 칼슘이 침착되었음을 확인하였다. 그리고 면역화학염색 결과 골형성 시 필요한 오스테오칼신과 오스테오넥틴이 좀 더 발현된 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 따라서 양막은 골형성유도를 향상시킬 수 있는 가능성이 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Transmembrane(TM) proteins are closely related to transport, channel formation, signaling, cell to cell interaction, so they are the crucial target of modern medicinal drugs. In order to study the structure and function of these TM proteins, it is important to prepare reasonable amounts of proteins. However, their preparation is seriously difficult and time-consuming due to insufficient yields and low solubility of TM proteins. We tried to produce large amounts of Syndecan-4 containing TM domain(SDC4-TM) that is related to the wound healing and tumor. Also, mutated SDC4-TM was studied to investigate structural change by modification of dimerization motif. We performed the structure determination by the Polarity Index at Slanted Angle (PISA) wheel pattern analysis based on $^{15}N-^1H$ 2D SAMPI-4 solid-state NMR of SDC4-TM and computational modeling using Discovery Studio 2016.

상악 전치부 임플란트 수복의 성공에 있어서 심미적인 요소는 매우 중요한 부분입니다. 하지만 심미적인 결과를 얻는 것은 쉬운 일이 아니며 특히 치주염으로 인해 치조골 소실이 심하게 발생한 경우라면 더욱 그러합니다. 상악 전치부의 경우, 발치 직후부터 시작되는 치주 조직의 위축이 심미적 수복을 방해하므로 이를 최소화하기 위해 발치 즉시 임플란트를 시행하기도 합니다. 하지만 치조골 소실이 심한 경우 발치 즉시 식립은 심미적 실패를 가져올 가능성이 있고, 이런 결과는 돌이킬 수 없는 문제를 야기합니다. 그래서 치조제 보존술(Alveolar ridge preservation)을 시행하고 이후에 임플란트를 식립하는 방법으로 접근하기도 합니다. 2019년 JCP에 발치 후 임플란트 식립 시기와 발치와 처치에 대한 유럽치주학회의 consensus가 수록되어 있는데 여기서도 '심미적으로 중요한 부위에서 순측 치조골의 소실이 심하게 발생한 경우 치조제 보존술을 고려해야 한다고 언급하고 있습니다. 치조제 보존술을 하게 되면 primary closure가 어렵기 때문에 open membrane technique으로 이차치유를 유도하거나 FGG, CT graft를 시행하게 됩니다. 하지만 이차 치유 과정은 골재생에 부정적인 영향을 줄 수 있고, 연조직 이식은 환자와 술자에게 부담이 될 수 있습니다. 반면 치조골 결손이 심한 발치와에 있는 육아 조직(Granulation tissue)을 이용하게 되면 연조직 이식 없이도 primary closure를 얻을 수 있습니다. 또한 육아 조직에 조직 재생에 도움이 될 수 있는 줄기세포가 함유되어 있다는 연구들이 있습니다. 이를 근거로 치조골 및 연조직 결손이 심한 상악 전치부 치아를 육아 조직을 이용한 치조제 보존술을 통해 임플란트 수복을 시행하였습니다. 결손이 심한 발치와임에도 불구하고 비교적 심미적인 임플란트 수복 결과를 얻을 수 있었습니다.
