This is a retrospective study on the patients with infection of the oral and maxillofacial region with the purpose of obtaining some useful data for diagnosis and treatment plan of that relatively common disease in dentistry. The used materials of study were 87 in total, including 52 male patients, 35 female patients who diagnosed and treated at the Department of the Dentistry in Hanyang Medical College Hospital for the period of Jan. 1990 to Dec. 1994. The author analyzed the distribution and incidence of sex, age, admission period, etiologic factors, etiologic teeth, treatment method of infections, pus culture, antibiotics sensibilities and medication. The result obtained as follows : 1. The developmental incidences by sex was superior in male by the ratio of 1.5 : 1 and the infection was most frequently occurred during the third decades(35.6%). 2. The number of admitted patients elevated in February, March, and April, and average of admission period was 9.8 days. 3. Main etiologic teeth showed on lower molar region in adult(63%) and upper molar region in primary dentition(46.1%). 4. Medications were administrated in all of the cases, and surgical incision and drainage were performed in 53% and extraction of the causative teeth were performed in 63.6% of all cases. 5. The most common involved fascial spaces were Buccal space(41.4%), Infraorbital space(27.6%), Submandibular space(16.1%),in order, and 9 cases(10.3%) were Ludwig's Angina. In 68.2% of the patients, and infection involved only one fascial space and in 21.8% of the patients, it involved to more fascial spaces. 6. The most causative organisms isolated from pus culture were Gram-positive facultative cocci(55.5%), and antibiotics sensitivities on the total isolated bacterial strains were exposed chloramphenicol(88.6%), Cephalothin(88.6%), Erythromycin(81.5%), Lincomycin(77.8%) in order, but it showed resistant on Gentamycin(58.3%), Tetracycline(56.5%), Methicillin(38.5%).

이 연구는 건강보험공단으로부터 획득한 2001년부터 2008년까지 전국 232개 시군구 지역의 분만 및 합병증 청구 자료를 바탕으로 산모가 자신의 거주 지역 내 외에서 출산하는 비율과 산과적 합병증과의 관련성을 밝히기 위한 생태학적 연구이다. 산모가 본인의 거주 지역 밖에서 출산하는 비율인 관외분만율은 정도에 따라 저도 관외분만율 지역, 중등도 관외분만율 지역, 고도 관외분만율 지역으로 범주화하였으며, 산과적 합병증은 '유산, 자궁외 임신 및 기태임신에 따른 합병증율', '유산율', '자간증율'을 구하였다. 관외분만율에 따른 산과적 합병증의 일원배치 분산분석에서 저도 및 중등도 관외분만율 지역보다 고도 관외분만율 지역이 '유산, 자궁외 임신 및 기태임신에 따른 합병증율'과 '자간증율'이 통계적으로 의미있게 증가하는 경향을 보였고(p<0.05), 산과적 합병증 각각을 종속변수로 한 다중선형회귀분석에서 '유산, 자궁외 임신 및 기태임신에 따른 합병증율'은 고도 관외분만율 지역(분만서비스 접근 취약지역)이 기타 지역보다 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.01), '자간증율'은 고도 관외분만율 지역에서 그리고 1인당 지방세납입액이 낮은 지역에서 더 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.01). 이 연구를 통해 분만서비스 접근 취약지역에 거주하는 산모에서 산과적 합병증이 높음을 나타냈고 따라서 이에 대한 적절한 대책이 세워져야 할 필요성을 시사하고 있다. 특히 응급 대응 및 산전관리의 충실성을 높이기 위한 체계적인 대안이 정책적으로 고려되어야 함을 보여주고 있다. 한편 이 연구는 시군구를 분석 단위로 한 생태학적 연구이므로 산전관리 수진 및 산과적 합병증 발생에 영향을 미치는 개인수준에서의 요인들까지 고려되지 못한 점은 이 연구의 한계점으로 가지고 있다. 따라서 추후 산전관리 및 산과적 합병증에 영향을 미치는 산모 개인수준에서의 요인들까지 고려한 후속연구가 필요하겠다.

The authors had observed a case of cleidocranial dysostosis of 42 years old unmarried woman. The observation was founded upon roentgenogram of skull P-A view, orthopantomograph, cephalometric view, chest P-A view and wrist X-ray view. The patient gave a dwarfic impression with 145㎝ body height and concaved mandibular prognastic facial feature. The palate was narrowed and extremely high arched. The eruption state of teeth were extremely poor, only four teeth were erupted, composed of upper third molar and lower three deformed teeth. The skull P-A view of roentgenogram reveals overlying metopic suture, extends from the nasion to the sagittal suture, and the suture are delayed up to date and many wormian bones are formed. On the cephalometric view the maxilla is underdeveloped and produce the false mandibular prognathism. Twenty four impacted teeth can be detected by orthopantmograph, twelve in upper jaw and twelve in lower jaw. There are many supernumerary teeth, one in upper jaw and seven in lower jaw. On the chest P-A view, the clavicles are totally aplastic, but a vestige of clavicle is visible in the right side. On the wrist roentgenogram, the epiphyseal ossification of distal phalanx, mesial phalanx and proximal phalanx is delayed.

Actinomyces is a part of the normal oral flora, but under certain circumstances it may become pathogenic. Actinomycosis is a chronic granulomatous infective disease caused by microaerophilic Gram-positive bacteria of the genus actinomyces. It can involve almost any system, but principally affects the head and neck. Because the lesions in the submandibular region and the angle of the jaw give the face a swollen, indurated appearance, actinomycosis of mandible can be easily misdiagnosed in its acute or early state of infection. In these cases the disease usually presented as a swelling suggestive of an abscess or mimicking a neoplasm. The yield from standard cultures was poor and repeated sampling and anaerobic culture may be needed to obtain a positive culture. So actinomycosis should always be considered in a differential diagnosis of all infections of the cervicofacial area. Diagnosis of actinomycosis is made based on the histopathology, the clinical presentation and past dental history. We experienced a case of actinomycosis in the masseter muscle and present the case with review of literature.

Numb chin syndrome, or mental neuropathy is a rare sensory neuropathy characterized by abnormal sensation such as hypoesthesia, paresthesia, or dysesthesia in the chin and lower lip innervated by the mental nerve. Sensory neuropathy of mental nerve is somewhat familiar to dentists because it can occur following nerve damage by trauma or dental treatment such as implant surgery or third molar extraction. It can also result from dental causes including abscess or osteomyelitis. However, it can be the first sign of the systemic disease or malignancy if it is not related to dental causes. In this study, we present the case of a patient who present with hypoesthesia and pain in chin area without other symptoms and is later diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

An in vitro study was performed in order to evaluate the restoring methods in the endodontically treated molar teeth. 68 extracted teeth were divided into 4 groups according to the restoring techniques. The teeth of first group were restored by amalgam. Those of second group were restored by the stainless steel post and amalgam. The teeth of the third group were restored by the amalgam with crown. The teeth of the fourth group were restored by the stainless steel post and amalgam core with crown. All the specimens were tested and measured for the fracture load by means of the Instron (UTM-111-500 Toyo Baldwin Co., LTD. Japan) and the Pressure Instrument (Yonsei University, Department of Metal Engineering.) The results were as follows; 1. There were no statistical differences in the fracture loads between the amalgam restoration and post-amalgam core restorative techniques. 2. The techniques of amalgam core with crown showed lower fracture loads those of post and amalgam core with crown. 3. In the crowned teeth, they presented higher fracture loads than those without crown.

A 27-year-old female was referred to our hospital postpartum due to rapid aggravation of facial swelling. She was diagnosed with osteomyelitis on clinical, radiological, and histopathological examinations, but the possibility of malignancy was not excluded. Clinical signs and symptoms such as facial swelling and discomfort were improved with four months of antibiotics treatment. This is as case of an osteomyelitis progressed from infected extraction socket in a woman with physiological changes of pregnancy. Decreased immunological response, increased sex hormone and calcium regulatory hormones regulate the response of the bone infection. We report this case for helping the diagnosis of unusual from of osteomyelities in pregnancy and postpartum.

In the present study, we focused on stem cells in the dental papilla of the tooth germ. The tooth germ, sometimes called the tooth bud, is the primordial structure from which a tooth is formed. The tooth germ consists of the enamel organ, the dental papilla, and the dental follicle. The dental papilla lies below a cellular aggregation of the enamel organ. Mesenchymal cells within the dental papilla are responsible for formation of dentin and pulp of a tooth. Tooth germ disappears as a tooth is formed, but that of a third molar stays in the jawbone of a human until the age of 10 to 16, because third molars grow slowly. Impacted third molar tooth germs from young adults are sometimes extracted for orthodontic treatment. In the present study, we evaluated the osteogenic activity and mineralization of cultured human dental papilla-derived cells. Dental papillas were harvested from mandible during surgical extraction of lower impacted third molar from 3 patients aged 13-15 years. After passage 3, the dental papilla-derived cells were trypsinized and subsequently suspended in the osteogenic induction DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 50 g/ml L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, 10 nM dexamethasone and 10 mM -glycerophosphate at a density of $1\;{\times}10^6\;cells/dish$ in a 100-mm culture dish. The dental papilla-derived cells were then cultured for 6 weeks and the medium was changes every 3 days during the incubation period. Dental papilla-derived cells showed positive alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining during 42 days of culture period. The formation of ALP stain showed its maximal manifestation at day 7 of culture period, then decreased in intensity during the culture period. ALP mRNA level was largely elevated at 1 weeks and gradually decreased with culture time. Osteocalcin mRNA expression appeared at day 14 in culture, after that its expression continuously increased in a time-dependent manner up to day 28. The expression remained constant thereafter. Runx2 expression appeared at day 7 with no detection thereafter. Von Kossa-positive mineralization nodules were first present at day 14 in culture followed by an increased number of positive nodules during the entire duration of the culture period. Osteocalcin secretion was detectable in the culture medium from 1 week. The secretion of osteocalcin from dental papilla-derived cells into the medium greatly increased after 3 weeks although it showed a shallow increase by then. In conclusion, our study showed that cultured human dental papilla-derived cells differentiated into active osteoblastic cells that were involved in synthesis of bone matrix and the subsequent mineralization of the matrix.

조선대학교 치과대학 학생 중 안모형태와 교합상태가 양호하고, 교정치료의 경험이 없는 정상교합자 74명 (남자 38명, 여자 36명)을 대조군으로 하였고 조선대학교 부속 치과병원 교정과에 내원하여 악교정 수술을 통한 교정치료가 필요하다가 진단된 골격성 III급 부정교합자 성인 45명 (남자 23명, 여자 22명)을 실험군으로 하여 두부규격방사선 사진을 촬영하고 Burstone & Legan방법에 의해 각각의 계측항목별로 남여를 비교 분석하여 악교정 수술이 필요한 골격성 III급 부정교합환자의 악안면 골격 특성에 대해 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 골격성 III급 부정교합 환자는 함몰된 안모를 지니고 있었고 (P<0.001), 여자에서 뚜렷한 상악골 열성장 (P<0.nt)과 하악골 과성장 (P<0.01)을 보인 반면, 남자에서는 통계학적인 유의성이 존재하지 않았고 상,하악골 연조직의 전,후방적인 비교에서는 특징적으로 남자는 하악골 연조직의 과다한 전방돌출 (P<0.001), 여자는 상악골 연조직의 과다한 후퇴 (P<0.001)을 보였는데 이는 골격성 III급 부정교합이 남자는 하악골 과성장, 여자는 상악골 열성장에 의해 주로 기인됨을 알 수 있다. 2. 골격성 III급 부정 교합을 지닌 남여 모두에서 특징적으로 MP-HP 각과 genial angle이 커서 하악골의 전하방 과성장을 보인 반면, ramus height는 남여 모두에서 아무런 영향도 미치지 않았으며, 상악중절치는 순측경사, 하악전치는 설측경사 되어 있었는데 이는 악교정 수술을 위한 술전교정 치료시 이러한 치성보상을 정상으로 회복시켜 각 골격구조내에서 치아들이 적절하게 위치되도록 하는 것이 중요하다고 것을 의미한다. 3. 여자에서 상안면고경에 비해 하안면고경이 특징적으로 짧았고, 남자의 lower facial throat angle이 특징적으로 작았다. 이는 골격성 III급 부정교합이 남자에서는 하악골의 과다한 하방 성장및 긴 목, 여자에서는 하악골의 전방으로의 과다성장및 짧은 목에 기인하는 것으로 보인다.
