BACKGROUND: Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) in an absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) carrier is being evaluated as a candidate therapy for periodontal regeneration. The objective of this study was to evaluate regeneration of alveolar bone and cementum, and associated root resorption and ankylosis following surgical implantation of rhBMP-2/ACS in a canine clinical model. METHODS: Bilateral 3-wall intrabony periodontal defects were surgically induced in the premolar region i

Dentists should be able to adequately assess patients in a dental emergency room and treat trauma, pain, and bleeding.

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

IANB failure could be attributable, in part, to the skeletal characteristics of the mandible. In addition, the failure rate was found to be significantly higher in the retrognathic group.

ABSTRACT: Nerve injury especially inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) is the one of the complications that occur when the mandibular third molar (M3) is extracted and in case of high risk patients, coronectomy might be an alternative to tooth extraction. The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyze root migration and its influencing factors at 6 months after coronectomy in both 2- and 3-dimensions using periapical view and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). We analyzed 33 cases of root re

The incidence rate of accidental foreign body aspiration and ingestion differed according to patient sex, age, and dental department. Dental practitioners must identify high-risk patients and apply various methods to prevent accidental foreign body aspiration and ingestion in dental clinics. Inexperienced practitioners should be particularly careful.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution of systemic diseases and medications in patients older than 65 years of age who visited the hospital for implant treatment, as well as to investigate basic information about surgical complications that may occur after insured implant treatment. METHODS: A total of 126 patients over 65 years of age were treated for implant surgery from October 1, 2013 to October 30, 2016. Electronic chart review was conducted to obtain medi

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of administering intermittent parathyroid hormone 1-34 [teriparatide, (PTH)] on the maxillary sinus lift and bone grafting in osteoporotic rabbits induced by ovariectomy and glucocorticoid. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PTH was injected subcutaneously 5 days a week for 5 weeks (from 1 week before until 4 weeks after sinus surgery), and (b) the saline group (n = 10), in which saline substituted PTH at the same dose, mode of administration

We reviewed the current oral health status, the use of dental health services, and the factors that impede access to dental care for disabled people in South Korea and aimed to suggest the future direction of the dental community for establishing the right to oral health for the disabled people. Disabled people experienced more and faster teeth loss than non-disabled people due to the lack of proper oral hygiene management. The rate of not receiving proper dental prosthodontic treatment for the

In the realm of continuing education in oral and maxillofacial radiology for dentists, the interactive educational program Mentimeter emerges as an effective tool, fostering positive academic achievements through active learning.

PURPOSE: Small for gestational age (SGA) is confusingly defined as birth weight (BW) either below 3rd percentile or 10th percentile for infants. This study aimed to compare postnatal catch-up growth between SGA groups according to different definitions. METHODS: Data of 129 infants born with BW below the 10th percentile and admitted to Korea University Anam Hospital and Ansan Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Height and weight were measured at 6, 12, and 24 months. Results were compared be
