Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Given high incidence of ADHD, many children with ADHD is likely to present for anesthesia. This case report suggests intramuscular premedication as an alternative method for anesthetic induction. A 9-year-old male patient with ADHD was transferred for dental treatment under general anesthesia. The patient refused to go into dental clinic office. Oral midazolam was given to the patient, however, he was resistant to take midazolam via oral route. Instead, we administer midazolam and ketamine via intramuscular route. After less than 10 miniutes, the patient became drowsy and was transferred to dental chair. Intravenous access and mask inhalation was possible. The patient received dental treatment under general anesthesia and recovered in a non-complicated way. In this case, intramuscular sedation with midazolam and ketamine was used as a premedication in highly uncoopearive patient refused to take oral sedative medication.

The purpose of this research is to provide an available basis for marketing strategy by defining the cause-effect relation between the service level of staff members in dental clinic and purchasing behavior of the customers. This study was done in 10 days from November 2, 2009 to November 11, 2009 and the total 172 copies were used for the analysis. As a result of the correlation analysis, a significant positive correlation among all the measured variables was found. As a result of the structural model analysis, I found that the fair service among the variables of the service level significantly affects the building of relationship and the hospital image. The building of relationship and the hospital image significantly affect the positive oral spread. The building of relationship significantly affects the repurchase intentions but the hospital image does not affects the repurchase intentions. To sum up the result of this study, I found that the fair service and the building of relationship with patients are important variables in order to attract new patients and maintain existing customers. I recommend that the hospital continues to motivate staffs through internal marketing and conduct regular trainings. It is necessary to have patients satisfied with broadening responsibility and authority and set marketing strategy for the relationship with patients.

Especially, the male group the more the prosthodontics, implant had a significance. the higher the monthly income, on married group, the more the periodontal, prosthodontics and implant had a significance. 3. The motive of dental clinic selection was 38.4% of acquaintances' inducement, 33.4% of the superb treatment, 15.6% of easy convenience, and 7.0% of friendliness staff in order. Especially, male group the more the easy convenience, superb treatment, friendliness staff had a significance. 4. The mean of transportation in order to visit a dental clinic was 38.7% of public transportation, 37.5% of the own car, 23.8% of others in order. Especially, there was a highly significant difference on the public transportation in female, the lower education level, lower monthly income, and medical protection group. 5. The duration of time required of dental clinic reflected in 80.1% of the under 30 minute, 16.3% of over 30 minute~under 1 hour, and 3.6% of over 1 hour in order. Especially, the higher the treatment satisfaction, the dissatisfaction the higher the duration of time required under 30 minute had a significance. Conclusions : These results indicate that as medical services upgrade and get more varied, the expectation of medical quality also increases.

Inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia is one of the most common procedures in dental clinic. Although it is well known as safe procedure, complications always can be occurred. Ocular complications such as diplopia, loss of vision, opthalmoplegia are very rare, but once it happens, dentist and patient can be embarrassed and rapport will be decreased between them. We experienced one diplopia case after inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia and treated without any further complication. We report this case and describe the cause, diagnosis, and treatment objectives of diplopia caused by inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the knowledge and attitude toward radiation safety management in dental clinic worker. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 294 dental clinic workers in dental hospitals and clinics in Gwangju and Jeonnam from February 17 to March 30, 2014. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of radiation safety(8 questions), knowledge of radiation safety(15 questions), and attitudes of radiation safety(16 questions). The survey was done by Likert 5 scale method. Results: In completion of the radiodontia courses, 84.0% of the learners were female workers. 88.0% of the learners took the theoretical and practical courses. Those who work in the university dental hospital accounted for 87.1% and those in dental clinics accounted for 83.2%. Majority of the workers took on Leaden protective clothing in order to protect the thyroid gland. Male workers had more knowledge toward the radiation safety management than the female workers. The attitude toward the radiation safety management revealed the significant differences between age, gender, academic careers, license, clinical careers and the mean number of patients per day(p<0.05). Conclusions: The radiation safety management is very important in dental clinical workers and it is necessary to enhance the attitude toward the radiation safety through continuous education.

Dental treatment is often performed under general anesthesia or sedation when an intellectually disabled patient has a heightened fear of treatment or has difficulty cooperating. When it is impossible to control the patient due to the severity of intellectual disability, conscious sedation is not a viable option, and only deep sedation should be performed. Deep sedation is usually achieved by propofol infusion using the target controlled infusion (TCI) system, with deep sedation being achieved at a slightly lower concentration of propofol in disabled patients. In such cases, anesthesia depth monitoring using EEG, as with a Bispectral Index (BIS) monitor, can enable dental treatment under appropriate sedation depth. In the present case, we performed deep sedation for dental treatment on a 27-year-old female patient with mental retardation and severe dental phobia. During sedation, we used BIS and a newly developed Anesthetic Depth Monitor for Sedation (ADMS$^{TM}$), in addition to electrocardiography, pulse oximetry, blood pressure monitoring, and capnometry for patient safety. Oxygen was administered via nasal prong to prevent hypoxemia during sedation. The BIS and ADMS$^{TM}$ values were maintained at approximately 70, and dental treatment was successfully performed in approximately 30 min.

변연골 하방으로까지 파절선이 연장된 치아를 수복하기 위해 파절선의 노출 및 생물학적 폭경의 재확립을 위한 삭제형 골수술을 동반한 외과적 치관 연장술을 고려해 볼 수 있다. 그러나 이 술식은 특히 전치부에서 심미성을 훼손시킬 수 있다. 따라서 지지골과 치은을 희생시키지 않으면서 파절선을 치조와 하방에서 상방으로 위치 시킬 수 있는 교정적 정출술이 권장된다. 이 술식은 생물학적 폭경의 재확립과 더불어 수복물을 건전한 치아 구조에 위치할 수 있도록 해 준다. 또 다른 대안으로, 교정적 정출술 보다 방법이 간단하며 시간이 적게 소요되고 한번의 술식만으로 정출이 완료되는 외과적 정출술도 고려해 볼 수 있다. 외과적 정출술을 이용할 경우 구강내 교정 장치를 위치시키고 조정하기 위해 환자가 치과에 여러번 방문할 필요가 없다. 본 연구에서는 상악 중절치에서 치관-치근 파절이 발생한 경우 교정적 정출술 또는 외과적 정출술을 통한 다각적 방법을 병용함으로써 성공적으로 수복한 증례를 보고하고자 한다.

Ameloblastoma is the most frequently accuring odontogenic tumor in mouth. The biologic behavior of this neoplasm is locally invasive tumor with a high rate of recurrence. But in case of unicystic ameloblastoma, it was known that the neoplasm can be treated by marsupialization and the recurrence rate is lower. In our clinic, we tried to treat one of ameloblastoma cases by marsupialization and finished the treatment by enucleation via intra-oral approach with sagittal ramus osteotomy. This is a report of that case about 29 years old female patient.

The 2nd, 3rd, 4th 6th cranial nerve and the ophthalmic division of the 5th cranial nerve are derived from the optic foramen and superior orbital fissure. When these contents are attacked by a trauma the superior orbital fissure syndrome or the more severe orbital apex syndrome are onsetted. As their treatment we can consider the conservative treatment with the hypertonic solution and steroid. Also we can consider the more radical surgery. But their indications are debatable. As the emergency state the treatment plan requires rapid decision and very much considerations equaly. And the legal problems can be happened.
