Orbital infection is typically caused by spread of inflammation from the paranasal sinuses. Less common causes can be skin infections, trauma, and hematogenous spread from other infections located elsewhere in the body. Odontogenic orbital infections account for 2~5% of all orbital infections, and occur as a result of periodontitis, odontogenic abscess from caries, tooth extraction, and oral surgery. Orbital infections can be divided into preseptal infection, orbital subperiosteal abscess, orbital abscess, and postorbital abscess. Symptoms which can be observed are swelling of the eyelids and erythema, orbital edema, displacement of the eyeball, exophthalmos, ophthalmoplegia, and even impairment of the optic nerve. Here we present the case of a patient who had an orbital abscess secondary to an abscess of the right maxillary third molar. Rapid recovery occurred following surgical treatment and antibiotic therapy. In addition a brief review of the literature is included.

구강암의 발생 시, 구순의 결손과 방사선치료에 의한 치주조직과 치경부우식증 등의 문제가 발생할 수 있다. ADI (Association of dental implantology)에 의하면 상 하악골에 대한 방사선치료가 최근에 시행되었을 경우 임플란트를 식립하는 것은 상대적 비적응증이 된다. 대부분의 경우 임플란트를 이용한 보철물의 제작이 어렵고 의치를 사용한 수복이 이루어지게 된다. 특히, 구강암 수술로 인한 구순결손은 의치의 유지에 심각한 영향을 주게 된다. 본 증례는 상순암을 가진 환자로 일차적으로 절제술을 시행하고, 이차적으로 방사선 치료가 정기적으로 이루어진 결과, 환자의 상악 치아들은 순차적으로 자연 발치되었고, 하악은 매우 불량한 치주상태를 나타내었다. 상악은 총의치에 의치접착제를 적용하여 구순결손에 의한 의치의 유지력 저하를 극복하였고, 하악에서는friction pin을 이용한 하악이중관의치가 2년 동안 성공적으로 사용되었다.

Clinical application of composite resin recently draw great concerns in dentistry. Especially due to advantages such as esthetics, adhesiveness, simple clinical procedures, various shapes and kinds of composite resins are widely being applied to prosthodontics, conservative dentistry, and orthodontics. But, clinical problems attributable to the polymerization shrinkage of composite resin have been proposed, and we have to regard clinical problems such as secondary caries, loss of restoration, fracture of the surrounding tooth structure, marginal discoloration, and tooth sensitivity, and many portions are remained to be overcome. Therefore, this study attempts to analyze stress distribution between resin and tooth structure which is generated during polymerization shrinkage of composite resin using three dimensional finite element method. Three dimensional finite element models with conventional box-shape cavity and erosion/abrasion type V-shape lesion cavity in upper central incisor were developed. These cavities were filled with four different types of placement techniques. (bulk filling, horizontal increment filling, oblique occlusal increment filling, oblique gingival increment filling) The stresses generated by polymerization shrinkage of composite resin were calculated. The results analyzed with three dimensional finite element method were as follows : 1. The increment filling technique showed the highest maximum normal stress in both conventional box-shape and V-shape cavities and showed a tendency to decrease after complete polymerization. 2. The bulk filling technique resulted in increased stresses during the curing process in both conventional box-shape and V-shape cavities and the highest maximum normal stress occurred after complete polymerization. 3. The bulk filling resulted in the lowest maximum normal stress in both box-shape and V-shape cavities 4. Regardless of placement method, in conventional box-shape cavity, the maximum normal stress increased in dentin floor, enamel, dentin sequence and in V-shape cavity, the maximum normal stress increased in enamel, dentin sequence.

PURPOSE. Zirconia has been used in clinical dentistry for approximately a decade, and there have been several reports regarding the clinical performance and survival rates of zirconia-based restorations. The aim of this article was to review the literatures published from 2000 to 2010 regarding the clinical performance and the causes of failure of zirconia fixed partial dentures (FPDs). MATERIALS AND METHODS. An electronic search of English peer-reviewed dental literatures was performed through PubMed to obtain all the clinical studies focused on the performance of the zirconia FPDs. The electronic search was supplemented by manual searching through the references of the selected articles for possible inclusion of some articles. Randomized controlled clinical trials, longitudinal prospective and retrospective cohort studies were the focuses of this review. Articles that did not focus on the restoration of teeth using zirconia-based restorations were excluded from this review. RESULTS. There have been three studies for the study of zirconia single crowns. The clinical outcome was satisfactory (acceptable) according to the CDA evaluation. There have been 14 studies for the study of zirconia FPDs. The survival rates of zirconia anterior and posterior FPDs ranged between 73.9% - 100% after 2 - 5 years. The causes of failure were veneer fracture, ceramic core fracture, abutment tooth fracture, secondary caries, and restoration dislodgment. CONCLUSION. The overall performance of zirconia FPDs was satisfactory according to either USPHS criteria or CDA evaluations. Fracture resistance of core and veneering ceramics, bonding between core and veneering materials, and marginal discrepancy of zirconia-based restorations were discussed as the causes of failure. Because of its repeated occurrence in many studies, future researches are essentially required to clarify this problem and to reduce the fracture incident.

Radiation therapy for malignancy of head and neck leads to secondary effects, such as mucositis, xerostomia, dental caries and osteoradionecrosis. Osteoradionecrosis is a delayed complication which causes chronic pain, infection and constant deformity after necrosis. It occurs spontaneously or after primary oncologic surgery, dental extraction or by trauma of prosthesis. To reduce the incidence of osteoradionecrosis, appropriate antibiotic usage, atraumic procedure, tension-free primary suture and hyperbaric oxygen therapy are essential. This case is about a 74 years old woman who was treated for osteoradionecrosis after extraction of right lower molar at year 2006. She had received radiation therapy for angiosarcoma on tongue at year 2004. At year 2008 the patient came to our hospital for extraction of the opposite premolar but despite careful treatment, osteoradionecrosis occurred again. She was successfully treated by surgical procedure so we report this case.

Garre's osteomyelitis is a unique form of osteomyelitis characterized rediographically by localized thickening of the periosteum and deposition of laminated subperiosteal bone. The most common inciting factor is a mandibular infection in permanent first molar with necrotic pulp. This disease occurs primarily in children and to date in all instances it has occured only in mandible. It usually results in hard swelling over the jaws, producing facial asymmetry with little or no pain. The overlying skin is normal but can occasionally be inflammed mostly when pain is present. Palpation reveals a usually smooth, bone-hard lesion which feel like an inherent part of the mandible. Unlike other forms of osteomyelitis, there is no marked increase in fever, white bloods cell count, sedimentation rate or alkaline phosphatase value. The treatment of Garre's osteomyelitis usually consist of elimination of the sourses of infection, i.e., either extration of an offending infected teeth or root canal therapy. This treatment almost always results in resolution of the Garre's osteomyelitis. Resistant cases have involved secondary surgery, i.e., decortication and sequestrectomy. This report presents three cases of Garre's osteomyelitis resolved by endodontic treatment. Cliniqtl examination revealed swelling on the face with no tenderness. Periapical radiograph showed deep caries lesion extending into pulp chamber and periapical radiolucency. Occlusal radiograph showed an enlargement of bone and stretching the periosteum. A clinical diagnosis of the Garre's osteomyelitis was made. Endodontic treatment was accomplished with conventional method and restored facial symmetry. Long-term check-ups are necessary to evaluate the results of endodontic treatment.

Silver amalgam has superior mechanical and physical properties, therefore it has been widely used in dental clinics. But we have found the silver amalgam failures frequently, its important reasons are fracture, fallen-out, tarnish, corosion and secondary caries etc. The author studied the compressive strength of silver amalgam. The author made the standardized specimen, prepared the Black's Class II cavity on chromecobalt alloy, and placed the three types of Unitek$^{(R)}$ pin (Type of pins are straight type, "ㄱ" bent type, "$\sqcap$" bent type pin. The compressive strength was measured by (Dynamic Strain Meter Shinko Co. Japan). The author took the following results by comparing with the control group, not used pin. 1) Compressive force of silver amalgam in straight type pin was $187.11{\pm}39.00kg$, $252.98{\pm}31.91kg$ in "ㄱ" type bent pin, $189.00{\pm}37.46Kg$ in "$\sqcap$" type bent pin, $172.33{\pm}28.07Kg$ in the control group. 2) The statistic significance of the compressive strnegth between each group showed that "ㄱ" type, bent pin is stronger than the control group or straight type pin. 3) There were no difference of significances between the control group and straight type pin, control group and "ㄱ" type bent pin and "$\sqap$" type bent pin, "ㄱ" type' bent pin "$\sqcap$" and type bent pin.
