A study on the impacted teeth of the anterior segment was carried out. The data for this study were compiled form 1739 outpatients of the Department of Orthodontics, College of Dentistry, Seoul National University. The following conclusions were obtained; 1. The frequency of the impacted teeth of the anterior segment was 2.8% and the frequency of male was 4.0%, that of female was 2.1%., respectively. 2. The order of occurrence of the impacted teeth in the anterior segment was maxillary canine mesiodens, maxillary central incisor, maxillary lateral incisor, mandibular canine. 3. The etiologic factors of the impaction were the space deficiency for eruption, cleft palate, the prolonged retention of deciduous teeth, dentigerous cyst. 4. The favorable results of treatment and prognosis were obtained from the impacted teeth of the normal shape after surgical exposure and adhered the plastic attachment and inducted them into the dental arch.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of Cyclophosphamide on the healing process of fractures of the mice. Tweny-one young adult male mice were used. All of them were experimentally fractured in the left mandibular body areas, and Cyclophosphamide 0.1mg. per 30gr. body wt. was administrated intramuscularly to the experimental group. the mice of both control and experimental groups were sacrificed 1,3,5,7,10,14, and 21st day after operations and microscopic slides were made. The author has observed the histopathological findings. The results were as follows; 1. There were no specific difference between the experimental and control group in the early stage (1~5th day after operation) of the healing process of the mandibular fracture. 2. In the healing process of fractures 7-10th day after operation, the fibrous tissure formation and osteoblastic activity were poor in the experimental groop compared with the control group. 3. In the healing process of fractures 14-21th day after operation, the connective tissue and new bone formation were very poor in the experimental group compared with the control group. 4. On the whole, cyclophosphamide affected the experimentally fractured wound to delay healing in the jaw bone of the mice.
