Considering psychosocial needs of patients, it is not surprising that surgery-first approach (SFA) is becoming more popular than ever. Although the concept of SFA was introduced a few decades ago, the limitation of analysis method based on two-dimensional images makes surgeons reluctant to choose SFA. Recently, the advancement of three-dimensional technology allows us to perform SFA even without minimal pre-surgical orthodontic treatment, and the prediction of surgical outcome became more accurate, especially in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients to whom the advantages of SFA should be more significant. Here, we describe the current trend of SFA and its implication in OSA patients.

Objectives: In most retrospective studies, the clinical performance of restorations had not been considered in survival analysis. This study investigated the effect of including the clinically unacceptable cases according to modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria into the failed data on the survival analysis of direct restorations as to the longevity and prognostic variables. Materials and Methods: Nine hundred and sixty-seven direct restorations were evaluated. The data of 204 retreated restorations were collected from the records, and clinical performance of 763 restorations in function was evaluated according to modified USPHS criteria by two observers. The longevity and prognostic variables of the restorations were compared with a factor of involving clinically unacceptable cases into the failures using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazard model. Results: The median survival times of amalgam, composite resin and glass ionomer were 11.8, 11.0 and 6.8 years, respectively. Glass ionomer showed significantly lower longevity than composite resin and amalgam. When clinically unacceptable restorations were included into the failure, the median survival times of them decreased to 8.9, 9.7 and 6.4 years, respectively. Conclusions: After considering the clinical performance, composite resin was the only material that showed a difference in the longevity (p < 0.05) and the significantly higher relative risk of student group than professor group disappeared in operator groups. Even in the design of retrospective study, clinical evaluation needs to be included.

The purpose of this study were to investigate the chief complain and dental treatment needs in handicapped patient. This study examines treatment records of 1025 patients in free dental clinic for handicapped patients during 10 years from 1999 to 2008. The results were as follows : 5.8 average visit per patient; mean patient age was 25; 544 patients was younger than 20. Handicapped patients classified according to types of disability. Crippled disorder were 19.1%, brain disorder were 4.5%, visual disorder were 3.1%, auditory disorder were 4.1%, speech disorder were 0.9%, mental retardation were 67.1%, and developmental disorder were 25.1%. Performed treatments were 322 scaling, 13 fluoride varnish, 727 preventive resin restoration, 1296 resin restoration, 600 amalgam restoration, 46 GI restoration, 612 extraction, 289 pulp treatment of primary teeth, 75 pulp treatment of permanent teeth and 138 stainless steel crown restoration. Many handicapped patients have some difficulty to dental treatment. They have limited access to dental care, which is compounded by a shortage of skilled dental professionals who are willing to treat these population and financial problems.

협조능력의 부족으로 치과 외래에서의 치과치료가 불가능한 소아 환자의 경우 약물을 이용한 진정법 또는 전신마취 하 치과치료를 고려하게 된다. 하지만 ASA III급 이상의 환자들을 대상으로 외래에서 약물을 이용한 진정법 하에서 치과치료를 진행하기에는 무리가 있으며, 전신마취 또한 엄격한 사전 선별과 관리 감독을 거쳐 진행해야 한다. 저자들은 지적 장애를 동반한 ASA III급에 속하는 환아의 치과 치료를 타 과와의 협진을 통하여 전신마취 하에서 성공적으로 시행하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

All-in-one adhesives were recently developed for reducing the technique sensitivity and chair time, but lots of concerns were made on bondability, longevity, and microleakage. The object of this study was to evaluate microleakage and marginal quality of all-in-one adhesives using electrochemical method and SEM analysis quantitatively. After making Class V cavities, they were bulk filled with Heliomolar(#A1 after surface treatment with three adhesives: Adper Prompt (Group A), One up bond F (Group O), Xeno III (Group X) Electrical conductivity (microamphere, ${\mu}A$) was checked two times: before and after cavity filling. Percentage of leaky margin was estimated from SEM image (${\times}1,000$). The data were statistically analysed: ANOVA and Paired T test for electrical conductivity, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney test for marginal quality, Spearman s rho test for checking of relationships between 2 methods. The result were as follows: 1. There was no difference in microleakage between adhesive systems and every specimen showed some of microleakage after filling. 2. Microleakage was reduced about 70% with composite resin filling. 3. Marginal quality was the best in group A. decreasing among groups in the following order: group O, followed by group X. There were significant differences between group A and group X (p=0.015), and between group 0 and group X (p=0.019). 4. There was no relationship between the microleakage measured by electrochemical method and marginal quality measured by SEM analysis. Within the results of this study, there was no difference in microleakage among groups by electrical conductivity. However, significant difference in marginal quality was seen among groups. It was believed that these dissimilar results might be induced because of their own characteristics. Analysis of microleakage needs various methods for accuracy.

상악 제2유구치의 부가치근은 드물게 관찰된다. 본 증례보고에서는 두 증례를 통해 상악 제2유구치의 부가치근과 하방 영구 계승치의 변위 및 회전이 연관되었을 가능성에 대해 논의하였다. 상악 제2유구치의 치관 형태를 관찰함으로써 부가치근의 존재 가능성을 의심할 수 있으며, 부가치근이 존재하는 경우 영구 계승치의 맹출 양상을 주의 깊게 관찰해야 할 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다. 만약 소구치 치배가 비정상적인 맹출 양상을 보인다면 선행 유치의 조기 발거 및 공간유지가 보존적인 치료법이 될 수 있다.

무치악 환자를 수복할 때 임플란트 피개의치를 이용한 치료법은 전통적인 총의치의 문제점인 저작시 동통, 의치의 부족한 유지와 안정을 포함하는 기능저하 문제 등을 해결할 수 있는 방법이다. $Locator^{(R)}$ (Zest Anchors LLC, Espandido, USA) 어태치먼트는 임플란트 피개의치에 사용되는 어태치먼트 중 수직적으로 필요한 공간이 가장 적고, 나일론 부품에 따라 유지력 조절이 용이하다. 하지만 Ball이나 Bar에 비해 기능시 부품의 마모로 유지력이 빠르게 감소하는 특징이 있어 가급적 임플란트 간 각도가 최소가 되도록 식립하려는 노력이 필요하다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in the composition of artificial cariogenic biofilms using a Streptococcus mutans biofilm model over a period of time. Methods: We analyzed the dry weight, colony forming unit (CFU) number, extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) biovolume, and acid production rate of S. mutans biofilms formed on saliva-coated hydroxyapatite discs after 26 h, 50 h, 74 h, 98 h, 171 h, and 195 h. In addition, we performed a laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy to determine the bacterial volume, EPS biovolume, and biofilm thickness. We calculated the biofilm density using dry weight and EPS biovolume. Results: Over a period of time, there was no change in the CFU number and acid production rate of S. mutans biofilms, but there was an increase in the dry weight and EPS biovolume of S. mutans biofilms. The bacterial volume, EPS biovolume, and biofilm thickness only increased in the 50-h-old biofilm; however, no change was observed in 50-195-h-old biofilms. In addition, an increase in the biofilm density was observed over time. Conclusions: These results suggest that the acid production ability of cariogenic biofilms does not change, but the biofilm density increases over time. However, due to scientific information, further research needs to be conducted in the field of dentistry to get further insights on the progression of cariogenic biofilms over time.

근관치료 후 발생하는 치아변색은 여러 가지 원인에 의해 나타나는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 실험은 근관치료 후 치아변색이 일어나는 여러 원인 중 실러 종류에 따른 영향을 평가하고 변색을 치료하기 위한 방법으로 실활치 미백을 시행할 경우 미백 효과 정도를 비교해 보는 것이다. 24개의 치아를 대조군, AH plus, Endosequece BC, MTA fillapex군 4개의 군으로 나누어 실험하였다. 실러를 사용하여 통상적인 방법으로 근관충전을 시행한 후 과붕산나트륨을 이용하여 실활치 미백을 시행 하였다. 그 후 Vita easyshade를 사용하여 치아의 색을 CIE L^*a^*b 시스템으로 측정하였다. 근관충전 후 변색실험에서 대조군과 모든 실험군에서 시간에 따라 치아의 색이 변하였다. 미백제의 효과에 대해서는 Endosequence BC와 MTA fillapex에서 AH plus군에 비해 미백효과가 유의하게 높은 결과가 나타냈다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 근관치료 시 실러의 주의 깊은 사용이 필요하며, epoxy resin 계열에 비해 Calcium silicate 계열의 실러로 인한 치아 변색에서 과붕산나트륨을 이용한 미백은 효율적일 수 있다.
