During clinical endodontic treatment, we often find radiopaque filling material beyond the root apex. Accidental extrusion of calcium hydroxide could cause the injury of inferior alveolar nerve, such as paresthesia or continuous inflammatory response. This case report presents the extrusion of calcium hydroxide and treatment procedures including surgical intervention. A 48 yr old female patient experienced Calcipex II extrusion in to the inferior alveolar canal on left mandibular area during endodontic treatment. After completion of endodontic treatment on left mandibular first molar, surgical intervention was planned under general anesthesia. After cortical bone osteotomy and debridement, neuroma resection and neurorrhaphy was performed, and prognosis was observed. But no improvement in sensory nerve was seen following surgical intervention after 20 mon. A clinician should be aware of extrusion of intracanal medicaments and the possibility of damage on inferior alveolar canal. Injectable type of calcium hydroxide should be applied with care for preventing nerve injury. The alternative delivery method such as lentulo spiral was suggested on the posterior mandibular molar.
The bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) is preferred method of surgical correction for mandibular prognathism, retrognathism and asymmetry. This technique performed from primarily an intraoral incision to avoid a scar. After forward movement of the distal segment of the mandible, healing of bone by primary or secondary intention is easily accomplished through large areas of cancellous bony overlap. When rigid fixation is used for the BSSRO, it is possible to open the mouth during the immediate post-operative period because it promotes the healing process. Although this surgical procedure has been well-documented, the incidence of postoperative trigeminal neurosensory disorder in the region of the inferior alveolar nerve and the mental nerve remains one of the major complication. However, evaluation of objective methods for sensory recovery patterns is insufficient although most patients find their sensory return. Neurometer electrodiagnostic device performs automated neuroselective sensory nerve conduction threshold evaluation by determining current perception threshold (CPT) measures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sensory recovery patterns of inferior alveolar and mental nerve over time. Nerve examination with a neurometer was performed in 30 patients undergoing the BSSRO at pre-operative, post-operative 1-, 2-, 4- week, and 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6- month follow-up visits after the osteotomy to compare the differences of nerve injury and recovery patterns after the BSSRO with or without genioplasty and sensory recovery patterns associated with the kind of nerve fiber.

This is a clinical study on 235 inpatients who sustained a total of 350 mandibular fractures and who were treated in our department during the period of Oug., 1989 through Dec., 1993. The results obtained are as follows : 1. The mumber of patients has not been increased year after year. In respect of incidence, there were the highest frequency as 67 patients(28.5%) in 1991 and the least frequency as 16 patients(6.8%) in 1989 and the highest frequency as 28 patients(11.9%) in October and the least frequncy as 12 patients(5.2%) in February. 2. The age frequency was the highest in the second decade(30.6%). The youngest patient was 8 months and the eldest patient was 80 years and mean age was 27.8 years. The ratio of men to Wemen was 4 : 1. 3. The most frequent cause was fall down as 86 patients(36.6%) and the next was fist blow 4 as 75 patients(31.9%), traffic accident as 56 patients(23.9%) in order. 4. The most common location was symphysis as 141 numbers(40.3%) and the next was condyle as 96 numbers(27.4%), angle as 94 numbers(26.8%), body as 14 numbers(4.0%) in order. The sum of fracture sites were 350 and there were 1.49 fracture sites per one patient and multiple fractures occured in 100 patients(40.5%) of the 235 patients. The ratio of Left to Right except for symphysis was 1.71 : 1. 5. Among the 333 associated injuries, facial laceration was 136(57.9%) and tooth injury was 58(24.7%) and extremity was 31(13.2%). 6. Among the 350 mandibular fractures, complications after treatment occured in 51(14.6%) and infection as 20(5.7%) was the most frequent complication. 7. In respect of treatment of mandibular fracture, close reduction was 64 patients(27.2%) and open reduction was 164 patients(69.8%) and other were 7 patients(3.0%) of all and so open reduction was the most common in type of treatment.

Chemical burns onto oral mucosa which are infrequent, may result from contact with a wide variety of chemical agents. The degree of injury depends on the chemical, its concentration, duration of contact, and the natural penetrability and resistance of the tissues involved. Chemicals do not usually "burn" in that they do not cause destruction by hyperthermic activity. Rather, they damage tissue by causing coagulation of protein by one of several processes, reduction, oxidation, desiccation, corrosion, or vesication. Paraquat(Gramoxon) is the most frequently agricultural chemicals that induce the severe toxic reactions onto the organs of human body in Korea. The toxic reaction are composed of pulmonary edema and fibrosis, formation of hyaline membrane, inflammatory reaction and bleeding tendency, owing to the cell damage by the production of superoxide radicals. The contents of essential treatment in paraquat intoxication are commonly airway and breathing maintenance, gastric lavage, much hydration and diuresis, hemoperfusion and medications for the removal of the chemicals and the prevention of various complications. The sedative oral dressings, such as, orabase ointment application, warm saline gargling, lidocaine viscous gargling and oral gargling by the mixed solutions(tetracycline, prednisolone and 10% dextrose water) are important for the improvement of chemical oral mucositis and the comfortable feeding of diet. The authors managed properly two cases of oral chemical mucositis that were occurred by the incorrect use of agricultural chemicals(paraquat) and report the cases with the review of literatures about care of the chemical intoxication and oral mucositis.

Purpose: Although hypothermia has been used in many clinical situations, such as post cardiopulmonary resuscitation, stroke, traumatic brain injury, septic shock, and hemorrhagic shock, the mechanism by which it works has not been clearly elucidated. We aimed to evaluate the effect of hypothermia on the plasma nitric oxide (NO) concentration, lung iNOS expression, and histologic changes in intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (IR). Method: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the hypothermia group (HT, n=8, $27{\sim}30^{\circ}C$) and the normothermia group (NT, n=8, $36{\sim}37^{\circ}C$). They underwent 30 min of intestinal ischemia by clamping the superior mesenteric artery, which was followed by 1.5 h of reperfusion. They were then sacrificed. The acute lung injury (ALI) score, the plasma NO concentration, and lung iNOS gene expression were measured. Results: Compared with the HT group, the NT group showed severe infiltrations of inflammatrory cells, alveolar hemorrhages, and interstitial hypertrophies in lung tissues. There were significant differences in the ALI scores between the NT and the HT groups ($8.7{\pm}1.5/HPF$ in NT vs $5.8{\pm}1.2/HPF$ in HT, p=0.008). Although the plasma NO concentration was slightly lower in the HT group, there was no significant difference between the two groups ($0.80{\pm}0.24{\mu}mol/L$ in NT vs $0.75{\pm}0.30{\mu}mol/L$ in HT, p=0.917). Lung iNOS gene expression was stronger in the NT group than in the HT group. The band density of the expression of iNOS in lung tissues was significantly increased in the NT group compared to the HT group ($5.54{\pm}2.75$ in NT vs$0.08{\pm}0.52$ in HT, p=0.002). Conclusions: This study showed that hypothermia in intestinal IR reduces inflammatory responses, ALI scores, and iNOS gene expression in lung tissues. There was no significant effect of hypothermia on the plasma NO concentration.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the histologic change of the inferior alveolar nerve according to distraction amount following mandibular lengthening. Seven rabbits weighing about 2 kg were used. Corticotomy was performed on the mandibular body anterior to the right first premolar region and unilateral external fixation device was placed. Every effort was made to preserve the inferior alveolar nerve during the corticotomy. The rabbits were then allowed to heal for 7 days without distraction of the device. The mandible was lengthened 0.36 mm/day, 0.76 mm/day, or 1.0 mm/day. Corticotomy and lengthening of mandible were not performed in control group. After the completion of the lengthening process, a 14-day-consolidation period was allowed. After consolidation, rabbits were sacrificed, and histologic examination of the inferior alveolar nerve was performed. The results obtained were as follows : 1. In the control group, normal trifascicular pattern of inferior alveolar nerve was observed. Epineurium, perineurium, endoneurium, and axon with myelin sheath were observed in normal appearance. 2. In 0.36 mm/day distraction group, the trifascicular pattern was normally shown, and there was no destruction in epineurium, perineurium, and endoneurium. The mild changes including myelin attenuation, axoplasmic swelling and darkening were observed. 3. In 0.72 mm/day distraction group, it was possible to differentiate the epineurium from the perineurium. Two normal fascicles and one injuried fascicle were observed with a partially destructed perineurium. Most of the axons had axoplasmic swelling and darkening. 4. In 1 mm/day distraction group, it was difficult to differentiate the nerve structures such as fascicles, epineurium, perineurium, and endoneurium. The axons were severely destroyed, except few which showed decreases in size and changes in shape. Some collagen matrices were observed around the axons. These results suggest that the higher the distraction amount, the more severe the injury to the inferior alveolar nerve, fascicles, axons. Although distraction osteogenesis may be useful, the amount of distraction should be carefully selected.

Background Bioabsorbable plates and screws are commonly used to reduce maxillofacial bones, particularly in pediatric patients because they degrade completely without complications after bone healing. In this study, we encountered eight cases of a delayed foreign body reaction after surgical fixation with bioabsorbable plates and screws. Methods A total of 234 patients with a maxillofacial fracture underwent surgical treatment from March 2006 to October 2013, in which rigid fixation was achieved with the Inion CPS (Inion, Tampere, Finland) plating system in 173 patients and Rapidsorb (Synthes, West Chester, PA, USA) in 61 patients. Their mean age was 35.2 years (range, 15-84 years). Most patients were stabilized with two- or three-point fixation at the frontozygomatic suture, infraorbital rim, and anterior wall of the maxilla. Results Complications occurred in eight (3.4%) of 234 patients, including palpable, fixed masses in six patients and focal swelling in two patients. The period from surgical fixation to the onset of symptoms was 9-23 months. Six patients with a mass underwent secondary surgery for mass removal. The masses contained fibrous tissue with a yellow, grainy, cloudy fluid and remnants of an incompletely degraded bioabsorbable plate and screws. Their histological findings demonstrated a foreign body reaction. Conclusions Inadequate degradation of bioabsorbable plates caused a delayed inflammatory foreign body reaction requiring secondary surgery. Therefore, it is prudent to consider the possibility of delayed complications when using bioabsorbable plates and surgeons must conduct longer and closer follow-up observations.

Dental laser provides many advantages to the clinicians. Those are excellent hemostatic effect, good operating sight, minimal adjacent tissue injury, reduction of postoperative swelling & pain, reduction of postoperative infection, reduction of scar tissue & contraction, etc. The purpose of this study is to observe how these advantages work after surgical extraction of impacted third molar. From march 2000 to july 2000, we have randomly divided the patients who had been surgically extracted unilateral impacted third molar into two groups. The first group comprised $CO_2$ laser illumination with 3 watts, defocusing & continuous mode, rotating motion for about 3 minutes after finishing of surgical extraction & suture. The other group patients were not irradiated. The medications in two groups were same. We measured pain, swelling and trismus three times(pre-operation, first day after operation, and 7th day after operation). The number of the patients who had measured three times all are 64, laser irradiated groups are 36 and non-irradiated groups are 28. The age ranged from 19 to 50, with a mean of 27.9 years. The operative time ranged from 3 minutes to 50 minutes, with a mean of 12.1 minutes. In the $CO_2$ laser group, the pain intensity of the 7th day after operation was still increased significantly comparing with that of the pre-operation and the distance which were measured for the swelling was different significantly. In the other group, the mouth opening limitation was still decreased significantly.
We observed 117 orthognathic surgery cases with dentofacial deformity for 8 years from Jan. 1986 to Dec. 1993. The ratio of male female was 1 : 1.4 and the mean age was 23.0 years ranged from 16 to 35 years. The most dominant group was related to mandibular prognathism (75.0%). Surgery method were divided into 88 cases of mandible surgery, 6 cases of maxilla surgery and 23 cases of two jaw surgery. Sagittal split osteotomy were performed on 84 cases (71.8%). Rigid fixation was increased after 1989 and total percent of rigid fixation was 66%. We used autotransfusion method from 1992 to all orthognathic surgery patient. Lower lip numbness caused by Inferior alveolar nerve injury is the most common problem after operation, and it was 63 cases (53.8%) of total operation cases. In our clinic, we performed 5 cases of re-operation because of segment malalignment, condylar sag, and fixation instability.

This study was intended to compare the diagnostic ability between Waters' radiograph and CT in the diagnosis of midfacial fracture. The study group included 44 patients(male:32, female :12, age range :16-74 years old) with facial injury who underwent surgery. Waters' radiograph and both axial and coronal scanning were performed before surgery. Three oral radiologists and three non-oral radiologist interpreted 44 Waters' radiographs and 88 CT in three ways; 1) interpretation using Waters' radiograph only, 2) interpretation using CT only, 3) interpretation using Waters' radiograph and CT. The interpretation sites were confined to the walls of maxillary sinus; anterior, posterior, medial, lateral and superior wall. ROC curves were made with the findings during surgery as a gold standard except the posterior wall, where the joint evaluation of Waters' radiograph and CT by other three oral radiologists was used. ROC areas were compared according to the interpreting methods, the interpretation sites, and groups (R group ; oral radiologist group, N group ; non-oral radiologist group). The obtained results were as followed : 1. The diagnostic ability of CT only and Waters' radiograph and CT was higher than Waters' radiograph only in both groups(P<0.05). But there was no difference between CT only and Waters' radiograph and CT. 2. Generally, the diagnostic ability for the lateral antral wall was the highest and that for the posterior antral wall was the lowest in both groups(P<0.05). 3. In R group, for the anterior antral wall the diagnostic ability using CT only was increased but for the medial, lateral and superior antral walls the diagnostic ability was increased in only using Waters' radiograph and CT. 4. In N group, for the anterior and medial walls the diagnostic ability using CT only was increased. But for the posterior, lateral and superior antral walls there were no difference among three interpreting methods. 5. The diagnostic ability of R group was higher than N group in all interpreting methods.
