The effect of synthetic bone materials was assessed in the patients with pure periodontal class II and III furcation defects. The buccal aspects of the maxillary and mandilular first and second molars were surgically exposed, and synthetic bone materials were interposed between the gingival flap and the furcation defects in the experimental group. The control group were treated without the use of synthetic bone materials by same operator. Probing pocket depth, gingival recession, and loss of attachment, were measured by Michigan O-probe and tooth mobility was evaluated by an electronic mobility tester(Periotest(R), Siemens co. Germany) at preoperation and 3-, 6-, and 12-month postoperation. Standardized radiogrphs were taken at preoperation and 6-month and 12-month postoperation. The postoperative change of clinical parameters and the difference between experimental group and control group were statistically analyzed by Student, t-test. The results were as follows: 1. The probing pocket depth at the 3-, 6-, and 12-month postoperative examination was significantly decreased, compared to that at preoperative examination in both experimental group and control group(P<0.005), but there was no significantly difference between experimental group and control group. 2. The amount of gingival recession at the 3-, 6-, and 12-month postoperative examination was increased, compared to that at the preoperative examination in both experimental and control group(P<0.005). In the case of the class III furcation involvement, the amount of gingival recession at the 3-, 6-, and 12-month postoperative examination was more significantly increased in control group than experimental group(P<0.05). 3. The amount of loss of attachment at the 3-, 6-, and 12-month postoperative examination was significantly decreased, compared to that at the preoperative examination in both experimental and control group in the case of class II furcation involvement, and in experimental group only in the case of furcation III involvement(P<0.005). The amount of loss of attachment at, the 3-, 6-, and 12-month postoperative examination was more significantly decreased in experimental group than control group in the case of the class III furcation involvement(P<0.05), but in the case of class II furcation involvement there was no significant difference between experimental group and control group. 4. The tooth mobility at the 3-, 6-, and 12-month postoperative examination was significantly decreased, compared to that at the preoperative examination in both experimental and control group(P<0.005), but there was no significant difference between experimental group and control group. 5. Radiopacity of furcation area was greatly increased in the experiment group, but there was no radiographic change in the control group.

The aim of this experiment is to compare the healing process of extraction sockets after immediate implant placement with those using autogenous bone grafts and guided tissue regeneration with Gore-Tex. The first lower premolars and the second premolars of six experimental dogs were extracted and Stryker fin type implants were placed into the extraction sockets immediately after extraction. In the control group, any graft materials were'not used and the dead space around implants was left in itself and covered with only periosteum. In the experimental group A, implants were covered with Gore tex without any bone grafts, and in the experimental group B, the dead space around implants was filled with the bone chips gained from drilling procedure. Each experimental dogs were sacrificed at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, and 8th week and the specimens were observed by gross examination, radiological examination, and light microscopic examination. The following results were obtained. 1. Well healed soft tissue and no mobility of the implants were observed in control and two experimental groups. 2. In the radiogical examination, radiopacity around implants had been increased gradually. 3. In the microscopic examination, there were good healing process and active new bone formation in both in the experimental groups, Especially the more amount of new bone formation occurred in the experimental group B using bone chips. 4. Bone chip grafts and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) using Gore-Tex may be one of the successful methods in the immediate implantation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of an environmental enrichment program on barrier, benefit, confidence, and compliance of breast self-examination in women at 3 months after instruction. Methods: Nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was conducted among 62 healthy women. Data were collected through the self-reported questionnaires from December 2008 to March 2009. Women were assigned to one of two treatment groups: (a) no-support of environmental enrichment with the instruction control group; (b) the support of environmental enrichment with the instruction experimental group. All women received the same instruction on breast self-examination once a week for two weeks. Data were analyzed with paired t-test, McNemar test and ANCOVAs of controlling for age run using SPSS/WIN 17.0. Results: The experimental group was significantly lower than control group on perceived barrier (F=5.91, p=.02) and higher than control group on compliance of breast self-examination (F=4.57, p=.04) after environmental enrichment program. However the environmental enrichment program did not make significant differences on benefit (F=0.01, p=.91) and confidence (F=0.77, p=.38). Conclusion: Findings suggest that the environmental enrichment should be needed to support women's breast self-examination and expanded for compliance of breast self-examination to promote the secondary prevention of women breast cancer.
