The purpose of this study was to investigate the strength and endurance of the deep neck flexor muscles in individuals with work-related neck pain. Subjects consisted of two groups: twenty industrial workers with neck pain and twenty age-matched healthy subjects. To evaluate the strength and endurance of deep cervical flexors, maximum voluntary contractile strength (MVCS) and a sustained time at sub-maximal voluntary contractile strength (SMVCS) (80% and 50% of MVCS) were measured using a pressure biofeedback unit and a stop watch in supine. The MVCS of deep neck flexor muscles was 29.67${\pm}$4.56 in neck pain group and 54.27${\pm}$6.78㎜Hg in normal group. The sustained time at 80% SMVCS was 12.42${\pm}$2.64 seconds and 55.12${\pm}$12.76 seconds in the groups with and without neck pain. The sustained time at 50% SMVCS was 25.40±5.88 seconds and 109.70${\pm}$31.50 seconds in the groups with and without neck pain. The difference of the lower jaw position was 16.75${\pm}$3.57㎜ and 23.03${\pm}$2.51㎜. The MVCS, endurance at the two sub-maximal levels and the difference of the lower jaw position were significantly greater in the group without neck pain than with neck pain (p$<$0.05). The findings indicate that the maximal strength and endurance of the deep neck flexors were decreased in the workers with neck pain compared to those without neck pain. Therefore, it is necessary to include strengthening and endurance exercises of the deep neck flexor muscles in therapeutic program of work-related musculoskeletal disorders involving neck pain.

Purpose: It is important to determine the bucco-lingual inclination of implants on radiographs before the implant surgery. The purpose of this study was to compare the buccolingual inclination in alveolar bone and the tooth with dental cone beam CT and to prepare the standard for the buccolingual inclination of implant. Materials and Methods: Axial, panoramic, and buccolingually sectioned images of 80 implant cases with stent including straight marker using CB $Mercuray^{TM}$ (Hitachi, Japan) were evaluated. The comparison of the buccolingual inclination of remained alveolar bone with the tooth and the marker on butcolingually sectioned views was performed statistically. Results: The average buccolingual inclination of remained alveolar bone and tooth was $82.8{\pm}4.6^{\circ}\;and\;85.8{\pm}4.7^{\circ}$ (p<0.05, r=0.96) at the 1st molar area and $76.4{\pm}1.7^{\circ}\;and\;82.7{\pm}1.7^{\circ}$ respectively (p>0.05, r=0.12) at the 2nd premolar area in upper jaw. The average buccolingua1 inclination of remained alveolar bone and tooth was $81.3{\pm}8.3^{\circ}\;and\;87.5{\pm}6.3^{\circ}$ (p>0.05, r=0.85) at the lower 2nd premolar area and $94.3{\pm}6.6^{\circ}\;and\;93.3{\pm}7.2^{\circ}$ respectively (p>0.05, r=0.91) at the 1st molar area in lower jaw. The inclinations of markers were very different from those of remained bone at the most of areas except the upper 2nd premolar area (r=0.79). Conclusion: We recommend dental CBCT analysis for determining the buccolingual inclination of dental implant, because of significant difference, in average, between the bucco1ingual inclination of remained alveolar bone and tooth.

Background: Controlled hypotension (CH) provides a better surgical environment and reduces operative time. However, there are some risks related to organ hypoperfusion. The EV1000/FloTrac system can provide continuous cardiac output monitoring without the insertion of pulmonary arterial catheter. The present study investigated the efficacy of this device in double jaw surgery under CH. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent double jaw surgery between 2010 and 2015. Patients were administered conventional general anesthesia with desflurane; CH was performed with remifentanil infusion and monitored with an invasive radial arterial pressure monitor or the EV1000/FloTrac system. We allocated the patients into two groups, namely an A-line group and an EV1000 group, according to the monitoring methods used, and the study variables were compared. Results: Eighty-five patients were reviewed. The A-line group reported a higher number of failed CH (P = 0.005). A significant correlation was found between preoperative hemoglobin and intraoperative packed red blood cell transfusion (r = 0.525; P < 0.001). In the EV1000 group, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) was significantly lower 2 h after CH (P = 0.014), and the cardiac index significantly decreased 1 h after CH (P = 0.001) and 2 h after CH (P = 0.007). Moreover, venous oxygen saturation (ScVO₂) decreased significantly at both 1 h (P = 0.002) and 2 h after CH (P = 0.029); however, these values were within normal limits. Conclusion: The EV1000 group reported a lower failure rate of CH than the A-line group. However, EV1000/FloTrac monitoring did not present with any specific advantage over the conventional arterial line monitoring when CH was performed with the same protocol and same mean blood pressure. Preoperative anemia treatment will be helpful to decrease intraoperative transfusion. Furthermore, ScVO₂ monitoring did not present with sufficient benefits over the risk and cost.

TRAINER for Kids ($T4K^{TM}$, Myofunctional. Research Co, Australia)는 주로 구강악습관으로 혀내밀기, 구호흡, 혀의 하방위치, 혀, 손가락 빨기에 의한 변형 등에 의한 부정교합이 야기되었거나 발생하고 있는 어린이들에게 쓰이고 있는 기성 근기능 교정장치이다. Trainer 장치는 기성품으로서 작은 부피와 부드러운 질감으로 어린 환자들의 장착 동의율을 높이는 데 장점을 가진다. 장치에 포함된 lip bumper는 과도한 하순의 힘을 차단하여 주고, 하순 내측 전정을 자극하는 요소가 포함되어 있다. 부적절한 혀의 위치를 교정할 수 있는 요소는 환자들이 장치를 장착하는 동안 부가적인 혀 운동을 할 필요성을 감소시킨다. 본 연구의 목적은 원광대학교 치과대학 산본치과병원에 2010년 1월과 6월에 내원한 혼합치열기의 II급 부정교합 환자에게 약 6~10개월간 Trainer를 착용한 후 동일한 환자를 3년간 정기적으로 예후관찰(follow up)한 결과 값을 가지고 이 장치의 임상적 효용 가치에 대해 분석하기 위해 진행되었다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 구강 내 장치의 일종인 Trainer를 혼합치열기 2급 부정교합 환자에게 사용한 결과 치료 전 존재하였던 상악 전치부 전돌 증상이 개선되어 안모의 심미적인 개선효과가 있었다. 둘째, 정상 교합에 비교하여 과도한 수직, 수평 피개 교합이 개선되었다. 셋째, 치료기간 및 예후 관찰기간동안 SNB 값은 증가하고, ANB 값은 감소하여 하악이 전방으로 성장한 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로, Trainer system은 혼합치열기 2급 부정교합 어린이에서 조기 교정 전치료로 임상에 활용 가능한 방법이다.

부분 혹은 완전 무치악 환자에서 임플란트 치료가 보편화됨에 따라, 복합적인 전신질환이 있는 고령 환자들도 전통적인 총의치보다 임플란트-지지-고정성 보철물이나, 임플란트-유지-가철성 보철물을 선호하는 경향이 높아지고 있다. 본 증례의 환자는 77세 여성 환자로, 내원 당시 만성 고혈압으로 아스피린을 포함한 혈압약과 bisphosphonate 계열의 골다공증 약을 장기 복용 중이었으며, 상 하악 치조골 흡수량이 상당하였고 비대칭이 심하였다. 또한 2년 전 뇌졸중 진단을 받은 후, 우측 상반신마비로 인하여 좌측의 편측 저작만 가능하며, 팔 또한 좌측만 사용할 수 있는 상태(hemi-syndrome)이다. 초진 시 하악 총의치의 재제작만을 원하였으나, 상악 역시 잔존 치아들의 상태가 불량하여 치근을 이용할 수 있는 2개 치아를 제외한 나머지 치아들을 발거 후 치근에 의해 유지되는 피개의치를 계획하였으며, 하악에는 임플란트를 식립 후 그에 유지되는 피개의치를 계획하였다. 유지장치로는, 한 손으로도 쉽게 의치의 착탈이 가능한 자석을 선택하였다. 복용 중인 약의 전략적 중단을 통해 상악의 발치와 하악의 임플란트 식립을 시행하였고, 3개월 후 평가에서 임플란트가 주위 변연골 소실 없이 잘 유지되고 있어 자석을 이용한 피개의치를 제작, 장착하였다. 5개월 정기 검진까지 시행한 결과, 주목할 만한 합병증 없이 저작 기능 및 발음, 심미면에서 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

PURPOSE. To improve the clinical effects of complete denture use and simplify its clinical application, a digital complete denture restoration workflow (Functional Suitable Digital Complete Denture System, FSD) was proposed and preliminary clinical evaluation was done. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Forty edentulous patients were enrolled, of which half were treated by a prosthodontic chief physician, and the others were treated by a postgraduate student. Based on the primary impression and jaw relation obtained at the first visit, diagnostic denture was designed and printed to create a definitive impression, jaw relation, and esthetic confirmation at the second visit. A redesigned complete denture was printed as a mold to fabricate final denture that was delivered at the third visit. To evaluate accuracy of impression made by diagnostic denture, the final denture was used as a tray to make impression, and 3D comparison was used to analyze their difference. To evaluate the clinical effect of FSD, visual analogue scores (VAS) were determined by both dentists and patients. RESULTS. Two visits were reduced before denture delivery. The RMS values of 3D comparison between the impression made via diagnostic dentures and the final dentures were 0.165 ± 0.033 mm in the upper jaw and 0.139 ± 0.031 mm in the lower jaw. VAS ratings were between 8.5 and 9.6 in the chief physician group, while 7.7 and 9.5 in the student group; there was no statistical difference between the two groups. CONCLUSION. FSD can simplify the complete denture restoration process and reduce the number of visits. The accuracy of impressions made by diagnostic dentures was acceptable in clinic. The VASs of both dentists and patients were satisfied.

The pain was induced on upper and lower incisor of the rat based on the theory of 'connections of upper incisor pain with stomach meridian and lower incisor pain with large intestine meridian'. Such acupoints as ST36 and LI4 were used for alleviation of upper and lower incisor pain. The digastric myogram (dEMG) was utilized for the pain measurement. The upper incisor pain was gradually decreased during ST36 stimulation and significant differences were observed at 20 and 25 minute point during 60 minutes study. The upper incisor pain was gradually decreased during LI4 acupuncture and 20 minute was the only point that showed a significant difference. The alleviation of lower incisor pain was not obvious during the ST36 acupuncture. The lower incisor pain was gradually decreased during LI4 stimulation with significant differences at 15, 20 and 40 minute point. In conclusion, the upper incisor pain was relieved with ST36 and LI4 acupuncture while LI4 was effective on the lower incisor pain alleviation based on the theory of 'connections of upper incisor pain with stomach meridian and lower incisor pain with large intestine meridian'.
