Purpose: Root resection can be a valuable procedure when the tooth in question has a high strategic value. The prognosis of root resection has been well documented in previous studies, but the results focused on the palatal root resection have not been discussed in depth. I represent here the short term effectiveness of palatal root resection of maxillary first molars. Methods: Palatal root resection was performed on maxillary first molars of three patients. All the palatal roots were floating state on the radiographic finding and showed full probing depth and purulent exudation at initial examination. Reduction of palatal cusp and occlusal table was performed concomitantly. Endodontic therapy was completed after root resection. Results: Compromised maxillary first molars were treated successfully by palatal root resection in 3 cases. The mobility of resected tooth was decreased a little bit. The probing pocket depth of remaining buccal roots was not increased compared to initial depth. All the patients satisfied with comfort and cost effective results and the fact they could save their natural teeth. Conclusions: Within the above results, palatal root resection is an effective procedure treating compromised maxillary first molar showing advanced palatal bone loss to root apex with or without pulp involvement when proper case selection is performed.

The author experienced a failed ase of root resection which qas performed on the abnormal upper right lateral incisor. The patient was 16year old female. Clinically the effected tooth had neither a carious cavity nor periondontal diseases, ut, a fistula was present on the gum tissue near the root apex. The roentogenogram revealed a pathological area around the apex of the tooth. The results of failed apicoectomy lead to following conclusions. 1. The operated tooth was a case of dense invaginatus which had two pulp cavities and two canals seperated along their entire length. 2. It was the main cause of failure that the second pulp cavity and root canal were not obturated.

Periodontal disease accompany the inflammation around periodontal tissue and generally periodontal destruction is followed, This destruction often makes the molar teeth have furcation defect. And to treat molar furcation involvement, resective surgery such as root resection and ostectomy and regenerative procedure such as guided tissue regeneration were introduced. Also implant can be considered as one of the good treatment methods, Among these treatment alternatives, root resection can be considered as a good procedure in the point of saving one's natural teeth or amount of cost. Therefore the purpose of this article is to evaluate root-resected teeth which were done at least 2 years ago. 70 root-resected teeth in 58 patient who visited Kyungpook National University Hospital were included in this study. They were evaluated by two clinical method. One is subjective evaluation and another is objective evaluation. To evaluate subjective outcome, 58 patients answered to the questionnaire if they experienced tooth extraction, bleeding, swelling, pain, mobility and chewing problem. To evaluate objective outcome, 28 teeth was evaluated according to Langer's criteria. The subjective result showed 82% of success rate and 18% of failure rate. 13 of 70 teeth showed discomfort and were considered as failure, which include chewing problem (39%) and pain (23%). The objective outcome showed that 4 failure (14% failure rate) which were 2 cases of bone loss by periodontal problem, one endodontic problem and one untreatable caries. By these limited results, some of clinical consideration in root resective procedure can be suggested. Periodontal support and less occlusal loading on resected tooth should be evaluated before the procedure, moreover, good oral hygiene is essential. When these factors are considered carefully, the root resection may produce predictive outcomes in the treatment of furcational involvement.

법랑모세포종은 치성 상피성 양성 종양으로 재발률이 높아 주변 조직의 광범위한 절제 및 결손부의 재건을 필요로 한다. 술 후 치아 결손 부위의 보철치료 시에 재건 부위의 해부학적 한계로 인해 임플란트 식립을 동반한 보철 치료가 추천된다. 본 증례에서는 법랑모세포종으로 인해 하악골 분절 절제술 및 장골을 이용한 하악골 재건술을 시행한 환자에서 재건 부위 상실치를 임플란트 고정성 보철물로 수복하였고 임플란트 보철물을 장착 완료 한 14개월 뒤 원인 미상의 인접치 정출로 인해 임플란트를 포함한 전방부 치아에서 1 mm 가량의 개방 교합이 발생하였다. 성인에서 상악 전치부 임플란트 식립 후 잔존 성장으로 인해 임플란트 저위 교합이 발생하는 경우는 보고된 바 있으나 본 증례는 구치부에서 인접한 자연치의 정출로 인해 임플란트 보철물을 포함한 전방 치열의 개방 교합이 발생한 것으로 그 유사 보고가 흔하지 않다. 이에 정출된 치아를 압하 하는 교정 치료를 동반한 전체 치료 과정을 보고하고 원인 미상의 자연치 정출이 발생한 원인에 대해 고찰해보고자 한다.

In this article, we found the dentigerous cyst due to the impacted supernumerary tooth. Involved teeth were treated with immediat canal filling and root resection technique. The cystic walls and its contents were marsupialized and perfectly enucleated with surgical techniques. After the operations, no clinical signs and symptoms were found, Radiographic findings after I months of the operations reveal the decrease of the radiolucency on the surgical field. The author thinks that it indicate the formation of the osteoid tissue.

A 5-year-old Thoroughbred race horse was presented to Busan Korea Racing Authority equine hospital with a 3-year history of a slow-growing left rostral maxillary mass. The location and progressive growth of the mass eventually resulted in poor food prehension, quidding and mouth bit placement. The mass was solitary and hard, and covered by normal smooth oral mucosa. Radiographic examination of the maxillae showed a flocculated and mixed radiolucent lesion protruding outward and displacing the 202 and 203 teeth caudally. The 202 tooth was in normal size and the 203 tooth was hypoplastic on radiography. Under general anesthesia, a partial surgical resection of the mass was performed to minimize functional loss and facilitate prompt return to track. After surgery, there was improvement in food intake, mouth bit placement, and cosmetic appearance. Histopathological examination determined the resected maxillay mass to be an ossifying fibroma. However, there was continued growth of remnant mass in the maxilla. Equine ossifying fibroma is a rare condition and primarily affects the rostral mandible, and less commonly, the maxillae. In this case, the lesion was slow-growing, and caused cosmetic and functional impairments, including poor food intake and reduced trainability. Surgical resection was performed, but the effect of treatment was limited due to advanced size / stage of the tumor. Early dental care is suggested for horse owners to prevent belated identification and improve successful treatment of oral disorders like ossifying fibroma.

Background: Oronasal/antral communication, loss of teeth and/or tooth-supporting bone, and facial contour deformity may occur as a consequence of maxillectomy for cancer. As a result, speaking, chewing, swallowing, and appearance are variably affected. The restoration is focused on rebuilding the oronasal wall, using either flaps (local or free) for primary closure, either prosthetic obturator. Postoperative radiotherapy surely postpones every dental procedure aimed to set fixed devices, often makes it difficult and risky, even unfeasible. Regular prosthesis, tooth-bearing obturator, and endosseous implants (in native and/or transplanted bone) are used in order to complete dental rehabilitation. Zygomatic implantology (ZI) is a valid, usually delayed, multi-staged procedure, either after having primarily closed the oronasal/antral communication or after left it untreated or amended with obturator. The present paper is an early report of a relatively new, one-stage approach for rehabilitation of patients after tumour resection, with palatal repair with loco-regional flaps and zygomatic implant insertion: supposed advantages are concentration of surgical procedures, reduced time of rehabilitation, and lowered patient discomfort. Cases presentation: We report three patients who underwent alveolo-maxillary resection for cancer and had the resulting oroantral communication directly closed with loco-regional flaps. Simultaneous zygomatic implant insertion was added, in view of granting the optimal dental rehabilitation. Conclusions: All surgical procedures were successful in terms of oroantral separation and implant survival. One patient had the fixed dental restoration just after 3 months, and the others had to receive postoperative radiotherapy; thus, rehabilitation timing was longer, as expected. We think this approach could improve the outcome in selected patients.

매복이란 맹출로 상에 물리적 장애물이 있거나, 치아의 비정상적 위치, 또는 공간 부족 등으로 인해 맹출이 정지되는 경우이다. 이는 과잉치, 치성 종양, 또는 낭성 병소의 존재와 연관되어 나타나기도 하는데, 법랑모세포섬유종은 이러한 매복을 일으킬 수 있는 치성 종양의 한 종류이다. 법랑모세포섬유종은 많은 경우 미맹출 치아나 매복치와 연관되어 나타나며, 병소의 크기 및 양상, 그리고 환자의 연령을 고려하여 보존적 절제술(conservative resection) 또는 완전 절제술(block resection)을 시행한다. 본 증례는 하악 좌측 제1대구치의 맹출 장애를 주소로 내원한 환아에서 외과적 노출술 및 변형된 halterman 장치를 사용한 교정적 견인을 통하여 양호한 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다. 매복의 원인이었던 법랑모세포섬유종의 비교적 높은 재발률 및 악성 전환 가능성을 고려하여 추후 장기적인 추적검사가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
