研究室紹介
Professor Doremee's research lab specializes in oral health and orofacial health sciences, with a strong focus on the psychological and social determinants of adolescent well-being, particularly among vulnerable populations such as low-income youth. The lab also investigates clinical and physiological aspects of oral function, including masticatory performance, dental implant complications, and the impact of aging on oral health. Additionally, the lab explores innovative dental technologies, such as 3D printing for denture fabrication, and addresses rare but critical clinical conditions like bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis and delayed nerve paresthesia. The research integrates psychological, physiological, and technological dimensions to improve patient-centered dental care and health outcomes.

15본 연구에서는 기초생활보호대상인 빈곤가정 청소년 146명(남 78, 여 68)과 비교집단 청소년 327명(남 160, 여 167)의 심리사회적 적응수준을 비교하고, 환경요인, 개인적 특성, 사회적 지지요인 등 이들의 심리적 적응에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 위험요인과 보호요인의 역할을 조사하였다. 조사 결과 빈곤가정 청소년과 비교집단은 우울, 외현화 문제행동 등 적응지표에서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 전반적으로 가족 및 또래환경요인은 우울과 외현화 문제행동에 모두 중요한 영향력을 가지는 반면 사회적 지지요인은 우울에는 중요한 비중을 차지하였으나 외현화 문제행동에 대한 설명력은 매우 적었고, 개인의 스트레스 대처방식은 대체적으로 두 가지 적응지표와 고른 상관관계를 보였다. 구체적인 위험요인으로는 가족의 정서적 환경, 친구의 비행성향, 그리고 회피적 대처방식이 우울, 외현화 문제행동 등 부적응의 지표와 유의한 부적 상관을 보여 중요한 위험요인으로 나타났고, 부모, 또래의 사회적 지지는
Patients with disabilities have difficulties tolerating in-office dental treatment due to limitations relating to cooperation and/or physical problems. Therefore, they often require general anesthesia or sedation to facilitate safe treatment. When deciding on dental treatment under general anesthesia, the plan should be carefully determined because compared to general patients, patients with disabilities are more likely to experience anesthetic complications because of their underlying medical c
This study aimed to investigate the influence of changes in age-related physiological muscular and dental factors on masticatory function. This study was conducted in 211 healthy participants divided into four different age groups: 20-45 years (Gr1); 45-60 years (Gr2); 61-70 years (Gr3); and ≥71 years (Gr4). For objective evaluation of masticatory function, the masticatory performance, bite force, posterior bite area (PBA), functional tooth units (FTUs), the number of remaining teeth, tongue pre
This report describes a case of teriparatide (TPTD) therapy for bisphosphonate (BP)-related osteonecrosis of the jaw induced after implant placement. A 75-year-old woman taking oral BP was referred with uncontrolled osteonecrosis of the mandible related to the implant placement. With conservative treatment, BP was suspended and daily subcutaneous injections of 20 μm/d TPTD were started. After 4 months of the therapy, fixture removal and sequestrectomy were performed. Histological analysis reveal
Paresthesia is an altered sensation of the skin, manifesting as numbness, partial loss of local sensitivity, burning, or tingling. The inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) is the third branch of the trigeminal nerve and is very important in dental treatment. IAN paresthesia may occur after various dental procedures such as simple anesthetic injections, surgical procedures, and endodontic treatment, and is reported to range from 0.35% to 8.4%. The altered sensation usually follows immediately after the
This study attempted to determine the dimensional stability of maxillary and mandibular edentulous denture bases constructed using three-dimensional (3D) printing systems based on stereolithography and digital light processing according to the postcuring treatment time and the removal time of the support structure. Three-dimensional printing of the designed denture base file was performed using two types of 3D printing photocurable resin (standard gray resin (Formlabs) (Somerville, MA, USA) and
In contrast with problems regarding initial stability of dental implants in the posterior maxilla, heat generation during bone drilling is one of the complications that can occur in the mandible which is usually composed of dense bone. This report presents an unusual case of implant displacement into the mandibular posterior area of a middle-aged woman. This problem was presumably caused by poor bone density, loss of cortical bone engagement, and differences in bone quality between the alveolar
Within the limits of this study, the timing of local irradiation critically influences the bone healing mechanism, which is related to loading time of prostheses.
Statement of problem: Since the introduction of the concept of osseointegration in dental implants, high long-term success rates have been achieved. Though the use of dental implants have increased dramatically, there are few studies on domestic implants with clinical and objective long-term data. Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study was to provide long-term data on the $Implantium^짰$ implant, which features a sandblasted and acid-etched surface and internal connection with microthreads.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Over the years, resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) have gone through substantial development and refinement. Several studies examined the biomechanics of tooth preparation and framework design in relation to the success rate of RBFPDs and considered retention and resistance form essential for increase of clinical retention. However, these criteria required preparations to be more invasive, which violates not only the original intentions of the RBFPD, but may also
Foreign body aspiration in dental clinics is the most common cause of respiratory emergencies. There are no reports on foreign body aspiration during dental treatment under stable general anesthesia because the patient neither has voluntary movements nor reflex actions. This is a case report on the fall of a prosthesis in the larynx, which occurs rarely under general anesthesia. During the try-in procedure, the prosthesis slid from the surgeon's hand and entered the retromylohyoid space, and whi
Issues related to the control of seizures and bleeding, as well as behavioral management due to mental retardation, render dental treatment less accessible or impossible for patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS). A 41-year-old man with SWS visited a dental clinic for rehabilitation of missing dentition. A bilateral port-wine facial nevus and intraoral hemangiomatous swollen lesion of the left maxillary and mandibular gingivae, mucosa, and lips were noted. The patient exhibited extreme anxiet
This study indicated that the presence of teeth significantly affects the type of transition of the mental canal, the ALL, and the diameter and location of the MIC. Additionally, sex could be a factor affecting MIC location, MIC diameter and anterior loop length.
For patients with periodontally compromised, hypermobile teeth, implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) or removable dentures are often used after extracting mobile teeth. The loss of native teeth may carry social consequences, depending upon the patient's age, state of health, and degree of social functioning. This report represents successful stabilization and preservation of questionable, hypermobile teeth that have been damaged by traumatic occlusion due to the loss of posterior sup
