  • The number and the distribution of fixed restorations including crowns, fixed bridges, Maryland bridges, periodontal splints and cast cores were statistically investigated with two thousand seven hundred and thirty cases of crowns and bridges placed at the Department of Prosthodontics of Seoul National University Hospital, from January 4th to December 31st, 1988. The results were as follow : 1. Among the fixed restorarions, single crowns were 46.9% , fixed bridges were 41.9%, Maryland bridges were 5.0%, periodontal splints were 0.6% and cast cores were 5.6%. 2. Three thousand nine hundred and ninty two teeth were restored with the fixed restorations, among them cast gold restorations were 47.2% and metal-ceramic restorations were 52.8%. 3. Cast gold restorations of the maxillary posteriors occupied 98.5% of the maxillary cast gold restorations, and 99.7% of the mandibular cast gold restorations and metal-ceramic restoration of maxillary anteriors occupied 68.4% of the maxillary metal-ceramic restorations, and 38.7% of the mandibular metal- ceramic restorations. 4. It is recommended that the curriculum of the dental school for undergraduated students and graduated students should be changed to accomodate the relative importance of the restorations.

  • A 2-year-old, intact and a 10-year-old, castrated male Maltese were referred for treatment of progressive tooth mobility and periodontal disease. The first case was presented with tooth mobility of mandibular incisors (Grade 2-3) and the second case was also presented with tooth mobility of maxillary incisors (Grade 2-3) by periodontal disease. The treatment plan included supragingival scaling, closed root planing, subgingival curettage and removable-fixed periodontal splinting of the mandibular (case 1) and maxillary (case 2) incisors to stabilize them. Three months after therapy, oral examinations were performed for evaluation of success of therapy. In both cases, oral malodor, periodontal disease and tooth mobility were resolved and periodontal splints were remained rigidly.

  • In a case of class III skeletal patients with severe alveolar bone resorption, it must be a complete denture treatment plan provided stable and durable occlusion. Despite a markedly increased tooth mobility and unfavorable crown-to-root ration due to periodontal tissue breakdown, if the inflammatory process is controlled and an adequate oral hygiene performed, fixed splints will be considered. Patient's discomfort will be eliminated by achievement better clinical tooth mobility using fixed splints. So it can be a cost and time effective treatment option. In this case, it used a T-Scan System for confirmation a bilateral balanced occlusion and a occlusal force distribution reflected a patient's functional mandibular movement.

  • This case reports describe a new approach to the use of polymers in orthodontics, using a fiber reinforced composite(FRC). FRC was successfully used in a periodontal splints, fiber post for endodontic use, orthodontic retainer and space maintainers, implant prosthesis, large span bridge, management of cracked tooth, anchorage reinforcement in orthodontics. FRC has highly favorable mechanical properties, and its strength-to-weight ratios is superior to those of most alloys. FRC has potential for use in many applications in dentistry and is expected to gain increasing application and popularity in dentistry. These case reports show that FRC is a promising anchorage reinforcement material for use in orthodontic practice.

  • Fiber-reinforced materials have highly favorable mechanical properties. and their strength-to-weight ratios are superior to those of most alloys. When compared to metals they offer many other advantages as well. including non-corrosiveness. translucency. good bonding properties. and ease ofrepair. Fiber-reinforced materials can be categorized to pre-impregnated. impregnation required. dental laboratory products. chairside products and prefabricated posts. so it is not suprising that fiber-reinforced composites have potential for use in many applications in dentistry. Fiber-reinforced materials can be utilized in frameworks for crowns. anterior or posterior fixed prostheses. chairs ide tooth replacements. periodontal splints. customized posts. prefabricated posts. orthodontic retention. denture reinforcements and in implants dentistry. To realize the full potential of using fiber-reinforced composite restorations. it is essential that the clinician and laboratory technician understand concepts of tooth preparation and framework design. Also practitioner may appreciate the background information and other details about the materials themselves so that identify the rationale for their use in various clinical situations. select well-suited materials. and carry out related procedures. Understanding the material properties and take many attentions. fiber-reinforced materials will give more esthetic. more easy. more strong and more reliable restorations.ations.

SURGICAL REPOSITIONING OF THE EXTRUDED DENTO-ALVEOLAR SEGMENTS BY THE SINGLE-STAGE POSTERIOR MAXILLARY SEGMENTAL OSTEOTOMY (하악구치부 보철공간을 위한 상악구치부의 분절골절단 및 상방 정위)

  • Purpose: This is to review the cases of posterior maxillary segmental osteotomies to regain the interarch spaces for dental implants in the posterior mandible. Materials & Methods: Seven patients who presented with alveolar extrusion of upper posterior molars underwent segmental osteotomies by single-stage Kufner's buccal approach under the intravenous sedation and local anesthesia. The posterior maxillary cento-alveolar segments were repositioned upward using pre-fabricated palato-occlusal resin splints and immobilized with osteosynthesis microplates and screws. Dental implants were installated simultaneously. The regained spaces, tooth vitality, periodontal healing, relapse, tenderness on function, and complications including maxillary sinus involvements were evaluated periodically for over one year after the surgeries. Results: The single-tage procedures were completed within 80 minutes without any surgical complications. The posterior maxillary segments were repositioned upward to regain the interarch spaces ranging from 2.5 to 5.5mm. All teeth involved in the procedures keep their vitalities. The repositioned segments were maintained showing neither evidence of periodontal break-down nor tenderness to function. One patient whose segments had not been immobilized by osteosynthesis plate resulted in 2mm down-ward relapse in post-operative 8 months. A case of postoperative nasal bleeding from the posterior-lateral wall resulted in oroantral fistula and chronic maxillary sinusitis later. Conclusion: The extruded dento-alveolar segments of the posterior maxilla were repositioned properly by Kufner's one-stage segmental osteotomies. One microplate can be of help to keep the position until the osseous healing enough to support the masticatory force.

  • This article describes cases of applying non-surgical treatment including scaling and root planing, occlusal adjustment and tooth splinting of periodontally compromised lower anterior incisors Clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed over a 1-3-year period. All clinical parameters and radiographic bone levels improved in both cases. Dramatic regeneration of alveolar bone and lamina dura were observed on radiographic images, and no specific complications occurred during the follow-up period. Within the limitations of this study, these cases demonstrated the possibility of tooth rescue through non-surgical treatment and splinting of periodontally compromised teeth typically considered for extraction.
