An odontoma is a slow growing and nonaggressive odontogenic tumor composed of enamel, dentin, cementum, and pulp tissue. The etiology of odontomas is unknown, although local trauma, infection, and genetic factors have been suggested. Odontomas are classified as compound odontoma or complex. A 20-year retrospective study was performed on 36 odontomas from the files of the Department of Oral Pathology at Chosun University School of Dentistry. Fifty-six percent of the patients were compound odontoma and 44% were complex odontoma. 56 percent of the patients were female and 44% were male. The odontoma is most often diagnosed in the second decade of life, during routine radiographic examination. The usual presenting symptoms are an impacted or and unerupted tooth, a retained primary tooth. Other less frequent signs and symptoms are pain, swelling, suppuration, foul odor, tooth mobility. In our patients were treated by enucleation of the tumor, and related teeth were treated by surgical extraction or orthodontically assisted eruption.

The tissue reactions concerned in alveolar bone remodelling at the pressure zones of rat molar periodontium associated with the application of force (15 gm) to the maxillary first molar teeth of the albino rats were studied by the transmission electron microscopy. Osteoclasts referrable to bone resorption were observed thereafter 3 hour survival period and undermining resorption was generated thenceforth 2 day survival period. Bone resorption, reversal zone and new bone formation were simultaneously observed adjacent to the zone of undermining resorption in the 7 day survival period. Osteoclasts with well developed primary lysosome, ruffled border, clear zone, granules and Golgi apparatus were detected at the zone of the bone resorption, and dark and bright cells adjacent to the osteoclasts as well. Mononuclear cells and perpendicularly arranged collagenous fibers were observed in the reversal zone and, on the other hand, osteoblasts with well developed Golgi apparatus and rough endoplasmic reticulum were detected at the zone of bone formation.

The Class III malocclusion classified in two types of Skeletal Class III and Pseudo Class III. In the case of the maxillary deficiency, the protraction H-G(facemask) with Bonded RPE can be used. For children with A-P and vertical maxillary deficiency, the preferred treatment is to move the maxilla into a more anterior and inferior position, which also increases its size as bone is added at the posterior and superior sutures. Successful forward repositioning of the maxilla can be accomplished before age 8. To resist tooth movement as much as possible, the maxillary teeth should be splinted together as a single unit. The maxillary appliance must have hooks for attachment to the facemask that are located in the canine-primary molar area above the occlusal plane. The facemask usually worn until a positive overjet of 2-5mm is achieved interincisally. Occipital chin cup is successful in those patients who can bring their incisors close to an edge-to-edge position when in centric relation. This treatment is particularly useful in patients who begin treatment with a short lower anterior facial height, as this type of treatment can lead to an increase in lower anterior facial height. If the pull of the chin cup is directed below the condyle, the force of the appliance may lead to a downward and backward rotation of the mandible.

Premolars show the greatest variation in development and eruption. The present case report identified characteristics of eruption of maxillary premolars with delayed development. Multiple maxillary premolars with delayed development were found to have a palatal ectopic eruption pattern, which was self-corrected through eruption guidance by extraction of preceding primary teeth at the stage of root development when eruption force was maximal. In addition, delayed eruption due to delayed development was substantially improved by eruption guidance. Early erupted premolars with less than 1/3 of root development were induced to have normal root development using stabilizing appliance. The maxillary premolars with delayed development reported in the present study showed no complications such as impaction, space loss by delayed eruption, or insufficient root development.

Numerous investigators have pointed out that the force of the tongue against the teeth within the dental arches is normally compensated for by the action of the musculature of the cheeks and lips, and that the tongue at rest occupies a large part of the oral cavity. The purpose of this study was to estimate the maximum areas of the tongue movement by measuring the inner area of the dental arches of both the maxilla and the mandible. This study was based on the study models of 30 children and 128 adults who had clinically good occlusion. There were 15 male and 15 female children whose ages ranged from four years to seven years and 82 male and 46 female adults whose ages ranged from fifteen years to fifty four years. The obtained results were as follows : 1. The mean of the maximum areas within the primary dental arches of both the maxilla and the mandible were $7.06\pm0.8\textrm{cm}^2, 5.49\pm0.77\textrm{cm}^2$ in male children and $6.82\pm0.98\textrm{cm}^2, 5.28\pm0.80\textrm{cm}^2$ in female children respectively. 2. The mean of the maximum areas within the permanent dental arches of both the maxilla and mandible were $17.01\pm2.38\textrm{cm}^2, 13.57\pm1.57\textrm{cm}^2$ in male and $16.75\pm2.08\textrm{cm}^2, 13.36\pm1.01\textrm{cm}^2$ in female respectively.

Difficulty in breathing can be very disconcerting to a patient who is conscious yet unable to breath normally. The common causes of acute respiratory distress include hyperventilation, vasodepressor syncope, asthma, heart failure, and hypoglycemia. In most of these situations, the patient does not exhibit respiratory distress unless an underlying medical disorder becomes acutely exacerbated. Examples of this include acute myocardial infarction, anaphylaxis, cerebrovascular accident, hyperglycemia, and hypoglycemia. A major factor that leads to the exacerbation of respiratory disorders is undue stress, either physiologic or psychologic. Psychologic stress in dentistry is the primary factor in the exacerbation of preexisting medical problems. Therefore, the most dental patient should be cared gently as the stress reduction protocol. This is a case report of acute respiratory distress with vasodepressor syncope during alginate impression taking of mandibular teeth in a long-standing temporomandibular joint dislocated 93-years-old pneumonic patient.

This study aimed to answer the question through a systematic review: Can carbamide peroxide be as effective as hydrogen peroxide and cause less in-office bleaching sensitivity? A literature survey was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, and gray literature. Primary clinical trials that compared the efficacy or the in-office bleaching sensitivity between carbamide and hydrogen peroxides were included. The risk of bias was evaluated using the RoB2. The certainty of the evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach. DPI training significantly improved the mean scores of the dental undergraduates from 7.53 in the pre-DPI-training test to 9.01 in the post-DPI-training test (p < 0.001). After 6 weeks, the mean scores decreased marginally to 8.87 in the retention test (p = 0.563). DPI training increased their confidence level from 5.68 pre-DPI training to 7.09 post-DPI training. The limited evidence suggests that the 37% carbamide peroxide may be similarly effective to the 35% hydrogen peroxide for bleaching teeth in-office and causes less bleaching sensitivity. However, more well-designed split-mouth clinical trials are necessary to strengthen the evidence.

개량형 Dentocult-SM 키트의 치아우식활성검사로서의 활용도와 임상적 지수와의 상관관계 그리고 민감도 및 특이도를 조사하기 위하여 만 5-6세 남녀아동 128명을 대상으로 구강검사와 screening strip 검사와 site strip 검사를 시행한 후 일정 부위의 치면세균막을 채취하여 뮤탄스 연쇄상구균 배양검사를 실시하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. Screening strip 및 site strip 검사 모두에서 우식활성도가 0에서부터 3까지로 증가할수록 아동들이 보유하고 있는 dft index와 dfs index는 각각 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였고 아동들의 치면세균막 내의 뮤탄스 연쇄상구균 집락수 역시 우식활성도가 0에서 3으로 높아질수록 통계적으로 유의하게 수적인 증가를 나타내었다. Screening strip과 site strip 검사결과의 일치정도는 Spearman의 상관계수가 0.775 그리고 kappa 지수는 0.496으로 두 검사법의 일치도가 높았다. 또한 screening strip 검사의 민감도는 0.74-1.00, 특이도는 0.11-0.67로 나타났고, site strip 검사의 민감도와 특이도는 각각 0.48-1.00 및 0.11-0.66으로 계산되었다. 따라서 치과임상에서도 종래의 우식활성검사법들 보다 시간과 비용이 그리 많이 들지 않으며, 또한 각종 미생물학적, 생화학적인 기술이나 장비가 많이 필요치 않도록 간편하게 개량된 Dentocult-SM 검사법을 활용하면 치아우식증을 예측하는 진단학적인 측면이나 환자들을 대상으로 한 구강보건교육적인 측면에서 많은 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

본 연구는 전신마취 또는 정주진정 하 치과치료가 주 양육자가 인식하는 환아의 구강 건강과 관련된 삶의 질과 환아 가족의 일상생활에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 시행되었다. 10세 이하의 건강한 환아와 그 환아의 주 양육자를 대상으로 연구가 진행되었다. 환아가 전신마취 또는 정주진정 하 치과치료를 위해 내원한 당일, 치료 시작 전에 환아의 주 양육자가 설문지를 작성하고, 치료 후 6개월 이내에 동일한 주 양육자가 동일한 설문지를 다시 작성하였다. 총 43명의 환아가 연구 대상에 포함되었으며, Child Oral Health Impact Profile(COHIP)과 Family Impact Scale(FIS)의 대한민국 버전이 설문에 사용되었다. COHIP과 FIS 점수 모두 술 전에 비하여 술 후에 개선되었다. 성별은 COHIP 및 FIS 점수의 개선에 별다른 영향을 주지 않았으며, 연령은 COHIP 점수의 개선에 영향을 주지 않았다. 그러나 어린 환아의 경우 술 전 FIS 점수가 더 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 치수치료를 한 경우에는 COHIP 점수가 더 크게 개선되었으며, 구치부 기성금속관 수복을 한 경우에는 FIS 점수의 개선 정도가 적었다. 전치부 심미수복 여부와 전치부 조기 발거 여부는 COHIP 및 FIS 점수의 개선 정도에 영향을 주지 않았다. 결론적으로, 전신마취 또는 정주진정 하 치과치료는 주 양육자가 인식하는 환아의 구강 건강과 관련된 삶의 질을 개선시킨다.
