The standardization of the dental chart proposed to computerization of the dental hospital information. To objective standardization, we gathered the dental chart from four university hospital(seoul, yonsei, kyunghee, pusan) and held a conference with dental physicians. From gathered charts, we classified the common and non-common items. We proposed the standardization to choose the most of the common items and necessary non-common things. The proposed chart include those items and the new things which the dental physicians want. After this paper, we will hold a conference with more dental physicians about more data to make more useful proposal.

Following anti-retroviral therapy (ART) or highly active antiretroviral therapy, there is an increased response to latent infections such as herpes zoster, which may lead to their reactivation. This is a result of improved immunity brought about by ART, also termed immune recovery syndrome. A 75-yearold male patient arrived at our institute with widespread vesicles and scabs on the right half of his face and oral cavity, suggesting the involvement of the trigeminal nerve. The patient had a history of being on ART two months earlier and a history of tooth extraction eight days prior to his arrival at our institute. The incidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive cases amongst herpes zoster cases is high, and these patients become susceptible to infections following ART. Therefore, regardless of the presence of risk factors, every herpes zoster patient should be tested for HIV infection, and high anti-retroviral therapy should be commenced/reinstituted as soon as possible. In addition, the treating physician should maintain a high level of vigilance for the patient during the first few months of ART, the peak incidence of immune recovery inflammatory disease.

OSA(Obstructive Sleep Apnea) is a condition with repeated obstruction of the upper airway while sleeping. This obstruction of the upper airway may result if sleep-induced physiologic change in muscle activity is superimposed on various structural defects of the upper airway. Macroglossia, micrognathia, retrognathia, and decreased airway lumen have all been implicated in OSA. There are a variety of surgical and nonsurgical treatment modalities currently available for OSA. Recently the uvulopalatopharyngoplasty has achieved widespread use, but success rates vary and long-term effects are still unknown. Current nonsurgical treatment methods can be cumbersome and uncomfortable with variable responses. For this case. we diagnosed as OSA by using polysomnographic analysis and cephalometric analysis, and delivered intraoral removable appliance which is more conservative, reversible and easy to use for patient. And we got results that Apnea Index(AI) decreased from 14.4 to 3.1, Total Respiratory Disturbance Index(Total RDI) decreased from 18.1 to 7.0 and removal of chronic headache in daytime.

The propensity score matching method is a statistical method used to reduce selection bias in observational studies and to show effects similar to random allocation. There are many observational studies in dentistry research, and differences in baseline covariates between the control and case groups affect the outcome. In order to reduce the bias due to confounding variables, the propensity scores are used by equating groups based on the baseline covariates. This method is effective, especially when there are many covariates or the sample size is small. In this paper, the propensity score matching method was explained in a simple way with a dental example by using R software. This simulated data were obtained from one of retrospective study. The control group and the case group were matched according to the propensity score and compared before and after treatment. The propensity score matching method could be an alternative to compensate for the disadvantage of the observation study by reducing the bias based on the covariates with the propensity score.

Fear at the dental treatment is a problem not only for patient but for dentist as well, because the anxious patient often require more item, even for simple procedures. The anxiety level in response to dental procedures was evaluated through a simple questionnaire, Corahs, DAS. 783 female and 790 male outpatients were studied at the Dept. of Oral Diagnosis, PNUH from 1988 to 1989. The obtained results were as follows : 1. The anxiety level in female was significantly higher than that in male, and patients in 10s and 30s showed more anxious than those in other groups. 2. Housewives and pupils revealed higher level of anxiety. 3. The anxiety level in 524 (ICD) was the highest in all diseases, inspite of no difference among various diseases. 4. There was significantly higher level of anxiety in the patient of Orthodontics and Pedodontics than those of other departments. 5. There was no difference in anxiety level between acute and chronic group. 6. Dental phobes were more in female than in male.

1980년 일리자로프가 하지에서의 골 신장술을 발표한 이래 수많은 외과 의사들이 임상연구와 발표를 거듭해 현재의 골 신장술을 이루었다. 악골에서 골 신장술의 적용은 1992년 8명의 악골 기형 환아에게 하악지 신장술을 적용한 맥카시의 발표를 기점으로 시작되었다. 골 신장술의 장점은 부족한 골조직과 함께 주변 연조직을 신장시키는 것으로 복합적 조직 결손을 보이는 선천성 악골 기형 환자들에게 특히 유리하게 적용시킬 수 있다. 반안모 왜소증은 안면 반측의 상/하악골 및 악관절, 연조직의 저성장 및 결손을 보이는 비교적 흔한 악골 기형이다. 하악지 신장술의 활발한 연구로 이를 이용한 악관절 증상과 안면 비대칭의 해소가 일차적 치료기법으로 선택되고 있다. 연구자들은 악관절 증상과 안면 비대칭을 주소로 내원한 성인 반안모 왜소증 환자에게 상악 및 하악의 동시 골 신장술을 적용하여 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 발표한다. 상악골의 Le Fort 제1형 골 절단술과 이환측의 하악지 시상분할 골절단술 후에 Molina distractor를 하악지에 적용하고 악간 고정을 통해 동시 신장을 꾀하였다. 수술 기법 및 평가 기법에 대하여 논의하였다.

As a society has developed, much concern has been put on appearances of people with development of economy. Accordingly malocclusion patients have been increasing. With this trend, it has become very important to investigate patients characteristics so as to cure the patients effectively. This study investigated 724 malocclusion patients who had been examined diagmosed and recorded well at Chong-a Dental Hospital for 5 years from 1994 to 1998. The results are as follows ; 1) The total number of orthodontic patients in 1998 increased about 79% than in 1994, and female orthodontic patients(68.1%) were more than male ones(31.9%). 2) Age distribution has shown more than 19 year-old group being the largest(48.9%) 3) Distributions in the types of malocclusion according to the Angle's classification have shown 42.5% for class I division, 21.5% for class II division, 35.9% for class III division, being class I division the largest. 4) 50.1% of the total patients were from Kang-nam Gu, So-cho Gu, and Song-pa Gu.

The purpose of this study was to measure and compare tensile strength for 3 types of new direct-bond brackets and the same brackets after recycling and to evaluate recycled brackets to determine the extent of physical alteration after recycling. Three types of new direct-bond brackets were bonded to recently extracted human premolar teeth and the tensile strength was measured by Universal Testing Machine. The brackets were recycled by thermal process and the tensile test was repeated. To determine the extent of physical alteration after recycling, the slot width and the hardness of metal brackets were measured and to analyze the microstructure of the brackets, photographs of the bracket microstructure were taken. Following results were obtained: 1. The tensile strength of recycled brackets was lower than that of new brackets, but there was no statistically significant difference. (p>0.05) 2. In the new and recycled brackets, the tensile strength of mini-mesh base bracket was statistically higher than that of conturlok base bracket, $(p\leq0.05)$ but there was no statistically significant difference between production of other companies. (p>0.05) 3. The slot width of metal bracket was enlarged from 0.459mm to 0.469mm as a result of the recycling process. (p>0.005) 4. As temperature was increased in thermal treatment, the grains of bracket metal gradually became coarser and the hardness was decreased.

The requirements of orthodontic wire should include chemical stability, non-discoloration and non-corrosion in oral environment. Ability to be soldered, ease of fabrication and elasticity should be also considered. The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the physical properties of Tru-chrome wire and manufactured E.S.S. (Experimental Stainless Steel) wire similar to Tru-chrome. The results were as follows: 1. Tru-chrome wire and E.S.S. wire were SUS 304 which was 18 Cr-8Ni austenite stainless steel. There was not significant difference in each composition between two wires. 2. There were not significant differences in ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and modulus of elasticity between Tru-chrome and E.S.S. wires. 3. There was not significant difference between flexuree modulus of elasticity of Tru-chrome and E.S.S. wires. 4. Micro-hardness value of E.S.S. wire was more than that of Tru-chrome wire and they were softened significantly by solution heat reatment. 5. Micro-structure of Tru-chrome and E.S.S. wires showed fibrous interlocking grains, and an austenite structure after solution heat treatment. 6. There was significant difference between corrosion rate of Tru-chrome and E.S.S. wires.

Vertical and horizontal growth occur in the craniofacial complex which ensues continuous changes in facial morphology, until the end of active growth period. Longitudinal study for individual is essential, in the research on growth and development, however, the difficulties in obtaining long term subjects in Korea, the research has been limited. The author analyzed the cephalometric roentgenogrems of 43 boys and 47 girls taken from the ages 6 to 10. The subjects were divided into 3 groups according to SN-MP angle and 2 groups according to gonial angle. In this longitudinal study, 21 variables were measure 4. The obtained results were as follows: 1. SN-MP angle and genial angle had no significant changes in each group with age. 2. With age, facial convexity of hard tissue decreased in all groups, facial angle of hard tissue increased in low SN-MP angle group, but facial convexity of soft tissue had no significant changes in all groups with age. 3. In comparison of high SN-MP angle group and low SN-MP angle group, the former had greater facial convexity and smaller facial angle than the latter. 4. SN-MP angle and the ratio of posterior dental height to anterior dental height had reverse correlation in all groups. 5. High genial angle group revealed larger SN-MP angle, anterior dental height facial convexity, but smaller mandibular length, and the ratio of posterior dental height to anterior dental height compared with low genial angle group.
