The aim of this study was to recommend the optimal age for prevention of periodontal disease and to investigate the trend of treatment modality according to different period. From the chart recordings of the patients who had been treated periodontally from Jan. 1981 to Dec. 1995 in the dept .of periodontics, Chosun University Dental Hospital, those of the periodontally treated patients on more than 4 sixtants were selected for the present study. The distribution of the patients was counted according to the age group and the gender. And they were divided into 3 groups(group 1: 1987-1958, group 2: 1985-1990, group 3: 1991-1995) by 5 year interval according to the treated year. The periodontal treatment modalities were classified into non-surgical therapy, pocket elimination surgery, regenerative periodontal surgery, mucoginigival surgery, clinical crown lengthening, and others. The results were as follows; 1.In the distribution of the periodontally treated patients according to the age group, 40's age group was the highest, and 30's, 40's, and 50's age groups occupied more than two thirds(73%). 2.The sexual distribution of the periodontally treated patients showed that males(53.4%) were a little more than females(46.6%). Within 20's group female was higher, but within 40's male was higher. 3.Regardless of the age group and the gender, pocket elimination surgery was the most frequent treatment modality. 4.In group 1 and 2(1987-1990) the main treatment modality was pocket elimination surgery and non-surgical therapy, but in group 3(1991-1995) it was regenerative periodontal surgery and pocket elimination surgery. The above results suggest that the prevention of periodontal disease should be initiated from early twenties, and the most frequent treatment modality may be closely related with development of new material and method.

Background: Pyogenic granuloma is a common non-neoplastic connective tissue proliferation. ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 are vascular adhesion molecules and CD34 is a marker for evaluation of angiogenesis. The purpose of this study was to compare the immunohistochemical expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 & CD34 in oral pyogenic granuloma and normal gingiva. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on thirty five formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded samples of gingival pyogenic granuloma. Also we used thirty five paraffined blocks of normal gingiva as control group which were taken from crown lengthening surgery. We employed immunohistochemistry staining for our prepared microscopic slides using monoclonal mouse anti-human antibodies against ICAM-1 (CD54), VCAM-1 (CD106) and CD34. Slides were examined under light microscope and then the mean amount of stained vessels also known as microvascular density (MVD) in highly vascularized areas (hot spots) was measured. Paired t-test and repeated measures ANOVA were used to compare the difference between quantitative variables and Chi-square test for qualitative variables in different groups. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to compare relations between quantitative variables. P<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean of MVD for ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and CD34 was significantly higher in pyogenic granuloma than normal gingiva (p<0.001 & p<0.001 & p<0.001, respectively). Expression of CD34 in pyogenic granuloma was significantly higher than ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 (P<0.001). Besides, expression of ICAM-1 in normal gingiva, was significantly lower than two other markers (p<0.001). Conclusions: Regarding the results, it seems that ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and CD34 are useful biomarkers in evaluation of vascular and inflammatory lesions such as gingival pyogenic granuloma and the results indicate the role of these biomarkers in pathogenesis of oral pyogenic granuloma.

Recently, dental laser have been applied for removal of soft tissues, hemostasis and blood coagulation, removal of benign and malignant tumor, treatment of leukoplakia, aphthous ulcer and herpetic lesion, implant second surgery, removal of granulation tissue, frenectomy, clinical crown lengthening, gingivectomy, gingivoplasty, and treatment of dentin hypersensitivity. Even though the frequency of laser treatment is increasing, the research on the healing process after gingivectomy using pulsed Nd : YAG laser is very rare. The purpose of this study was to observe and compare the wound healing after gingivectomy using scalpel and pulsed Nd : YAG laser in the rat. Gingivectomy was performed using pulsed Nd : YAG laser(SUNRISE Technologies, U.S.A., 1.5 Watts, 10 pps) on the buccal gingiva of right maxillary first molar and using scalpel(No.12) on the contralateral side. Those sites treated by surgical scalpel were designated as the control, and by pulsed Nd : YAG laser as the experimental group. Animals were sacrificed at 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 14 days postoperatively, and specimens were histologically observed under light microscope. The results were as follows : 1. Clinical observation Normal color and shape were observed at the 5th day ill the control group and the 7th day in the experimental group. 2. Histologic findings 1) In the control group, denser inflammatory infiltration was observed. 2) Epithelialization started at the 2nd day in the control group, similar to the experimental group, and completed at the 11th to the 14th day postoperatively. 3) In the experimental group, connective tissue showed the vacuole formation and degenerative change during early healing period. Healing of connective tissue was slower in the experimental group than in the control group by 2 days. 4) In the both groups, wound healing was completed at the 2nd week. From this study, gingivectomy using pulsed Nd : YAG laser seems to result in a little delayed wound healing process, compared to the gingivectomy using scalpel. Considering the clinical advantages of laser surgery, pulsed Nd : YAG laser might be useful device for gingivectomy.

It has been believed that antioxidant enzymes such as CuZn- and Mn-superoxide dismutase and catalase protect the tissue from damage resulting from the oxygen derived free radicals($O_2\;^-$, $H_2O_2$ and OH ). The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between activity of antioxidant enzymes including CuZn- and Mn- superoxide dismutase and catalase and inflammatory periodontal disease and periodontal parameters. For this study, the patients were classified into normal, gingivitis, adult periodontitis and rapidly progressive periodontitis, and then their papillary bleeding index(PBI) and probing depth were checked. Gingival tissues were surgically obtained from the patients during periodontal surgery, extraction, and clinical crown lengthening procedure. The activity of CuZn- and Mn- superoxide dismutase and catalase in the gingival tissues was measured by using UV-spectrophotometer by the same methods as Crapo et al. And Aebi did, respectively. The results were as follows : 1. CuZn- and Mn- and total-superoxide dismutase activity were significantly low in rapidly progressive periodontitis group in comparison to normal group (P<0.05). 2. In comparison of the antioxidant enzyme activity according to papillary bleeding index group(PBI), Mn-superoxide dismutase activity only was significantly lower in PBI 2, 3, and 4 groups than PBI 0 group(P<0.05). 3. Superoxide dismutase activity failed to show any significant difference according to probing depth. But significant]y high catalase activity was shown in deep pocket group (${\ge}7mm$)(P<0.05). In conclusion, these results suggest that the activity of Mn-superoxide dismutase among the antioxidant enzymes may reflect the inflammatory status of gingival tissue and that the decreased activity of superoxide dismutase may be one of responsibe factors for progression of rapidly progressive periodontitis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare and quantify the expression of C-reactive protein (CRP), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-14, and tissue inhibitor of metalioproteinases (TIMP)-2 in gingival tissues of patients with chronic periodontitis accompanied with inflammatory reaction related to alveolar bone resorption with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: Twelve patients with type 2 DM and chronic periodontitis (group 3), twelve patients with chronic periodontitis (group 2), and twelve healthy individuals (group 1) were included in the study. Gingival tissue biopsies were collected from each patient and from healthy individuals at the time of periodontal surgery (including surgical crown lengthening) or tooth extraction. The concentrations of cytokines were determined by a western blot analysis. Results: The expression levels of CRP and MMP-14 increased in group 2 and 3, and they were highest in group 3. The expressions of TIMP-2 also increased in group 2 and 3. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the expression levels of CRP, MMP-14, and TIMP-2 might be inflammatory markers in periodontal inflamed tissue. It can be assumed that CRP, MMP-14, and TIMP-2 may be partly involved in the progression of periodontal inflammation associated to type 2 DM.

The purpose of present study was to investigate the effects of physiologically active compound (SD62-122) from Phlomidis Radix on the cell cycle progression and its molecular mechanism in human gingival fibroblasts(HGFs). For this purpose, fibroblasts were isolated and cultured from excisioned gingiva during crown lengthening procedure in healthy adult. The following parameter were evaluated that there are cell number counting, MIT assay, cell cycle progression, western blot analysis. The cell number and MIT assay of primary cultured fibroblast was not increased at 2 days but significant increased compare to negative control at 3days(p<0.05). S phase was increased and G1 phase decreased in both $10^{-8}M$ and $10^{-9}M$ of SD62-122 in cell cycle analysis. The cell cycle regulation protein levels of Cyclin $D_1$, Cyclin E, cdk 2, cdk 4 and cdk 6 were increased compare to control in both $10^{-8}M$ and $10^{-9}M$ of SD62-122. The protein levels of p21 and p53 were decreased compare to control, but the level of pRb was not changed compare to control in $10^{-9}M$ of SD2-122. These results suggested that physiologically active compound (SD62-122) isolated from Phlomidis Radix increases the cell proliferation and cell cycle progression in HGFs, which is linked to increased cell cycle regulation protein levels of Cyclin $D_1$, Cyclin E, cdk 2, cdk 4 and cdk 6, and decreased the levels of p21, p53.

안면 비대칭 중 가장 흔히 나타나는 하악 비대칭은 성장 중 골격성장의 비대칭을 유발하는 다양한 원인에 의해 발생한다. 안면 비대칭이 있을 경우 외모 뿐 아니라 저작과 기능에 지장을 줄 수 있다. 심한 골격성 악간관계 부조화가 있는 경우 보철치료만으로는 이상적인 교합관계를 형성하기 어려우며, 힘의 분산이 적절히 이루어지지 않아 자연치와 수복물의 수명이 단축될 수 있다. 악간관계 부조화로 인한 부정교합이 존재하여 치아의 수복 시 예후가 불량할 것으로 예상되는 경우 먼저 교정치료를 통한 악간관계의 개선을 위한 교합안정이 우선되어야 한다. 부조화가 심한 경우 기능적 및 심미적인 치료 결과를 위해 악교정 수술이 필요하며, 진단결과에 따라 편악 또는 양악수술이 시행된다. 상 하악 또는 안면 비대칭증의 악교정 수술시 이부 성형술이 동반될 수 있으며, 이는 하악골의 이부의 수직적, 횡적, 전후방적 위치를 외과적으로 변화시킴으로써 더욱 심미적인 안모개선을 얻기 위해 시행된다. 본 증례의 환자는 안모의 비대칭과 돌출된 하악 및 불량 보철물을 개선하고자 술전 교정을 시행한 뒤 상악 Le-Fort I 골절단술, 하악 시상분할골절단술, 이부 성형술(전방 4 mm), 우측 하악각 증대술을 시행하였다. 술후 교정치료를 진행하고 치관연장술 및 완전구강회복을 진행하였다. 보철 수복 완료 후, 환자의 평가와 객관적 결과로 만족할만한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.
