Damage to the inferior alveolar nerve(IAN) is a relatively infrequent complication in endodontic treatment. However, endodontic overfilling involving the mandibular canal may cause an injury of the inferior alveolar nerve resulting in sensory disturbances such as pain, dysesthesia, paresthesia or anesthesia. Two mechanism(chemical neurotoxicity and mechanical compression) are responsible for the IAN injury. When absorbent materials overfilled, it can be treated as a non-surgical procedure. But early surgical intervention required when mechanical, chemical nerve damage expected. We report surgical removal of overfilled gutta-percha and IAN decompression through sagittal split osteotomy in case of dysesthesia after overfilling of endodontic material into the mandibular canal. Dysesthesia recovered 3 months after surgical treatment.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to develop a surgical stent for dental implant procedure that can be easily applied and affordable by using cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods : Aluminum, Teflon-PFA (perfluoroalkoxy), and acetal (polyoxymethylene plastic) were selected as materials for the surgical stent. Among these three materials, the appropriate material was chosen using the CBCT images. The surgical stent, which could be easily placed into an oral cavity, was designed with chosen material. CBCT images of the new surgical stent on mandible were obtained using Alphard-3030 dental CT system (Asahi Roentgen Co., Ltd., Kyoto, Japan). The point of insertion was prescribed on the surgical stent with the multiplanar reconstruction software of OnDemand3D (CyberMed Inc., Seoul, Korea). Guide holes were made at the point of insertion on the surgical stent using newly designed guide jig. CBCT scans was taken for the second time to verify the accuracy of the newly designed surgical stent. Results : Teflon-PFA showed radiologically excellent image characteristics for the surgical stent. High accuracy and reproducibility of implantation were confirmed with the surgical stent. Conclusion : The newly designed surgical stent can lead to the accurate implantation and achieve the clinically predictable result.

Surgical operating gowns are worn by doctors and nurses in operating theater to address dual function of preventing transfer microorganisms like bacteria and body fluids from the operating staffs to patients. and also from patients to staff. They must allow necessary mobility without rubbing and must resist tearing. These gown must be designed to fit a diversity of body shapes and sizes with a limited range of sizes as hospitals will stock limited quantities. Also they must proper in various operating situations. In order to suggest improving design features of surgical gowns, it has been done to analyze current situation of medical uniform manufacturing and wearing. Surgical gown were made with plain fabric of cotton 100% and had a little size system without sexual division. Many doctors were unsatisfied with surgical gown size and wearing comfort. Surgical operating gowns need continuos research for new material and design as surgical situation, and new sizing system.

Many kinds of materials have been used up to now for vocal fold paralysis. Although silastic block has been the most popular material, some difficulties in carving, positioning, and placing have been the causes to find more easily applicable materials. Hy-droxylapatite, gelfoam, hyaluronic acid and fat have been suggested and used for this purposes with some limitations. During last decade, Gore-Tex was introduced and replacing old materials and showed good surgical results with less difficulties. This material is biocompatible and familiar to surgeons because it had been invented in 1960's. In addition it is easy to shape and place Gore-Tex into the window with many clinical experiences. In some problem cases, it is easy to remove from the body with less damage to surrounding tissue. The basic surgical techniques are as follows. 1) Creating window. 2) Positioning and placing the material. 3) Immobilizing the material and closing the window. The modified methods ae introduced in details with figures.

Alveolar cleft belongs to the spectrum of cleft lip and/or palate, affecting 75% of cleft lip/palate patients. The goals of alveolar cleft treatment are stabilizing the maxillary arch, separating the nasal and oral cavities, and providing bony support for both erupting teeth and the nasal base via the piriform aperture. Secondary alveolar bone grafting is a well-established treatment option for alveolar cleft. Secondary alveolar bone grafting is performed during the period of mixed dentition using autologous bone from various donor sites. There are several issues relevant to maximizing the success of secondary alveolar bone grafting, including the surgical timing, graft material, and surgical technique. In this study, we reviewed issues related to surgical timing, graft materials, and evaluation methods in secondary alveolar bone grafting.

In industrialized countries, low back pam is very common, with up to 60 to 80% of the population being affected at some time in their lives. Herniated lumbar intervertebral disc is one of principal cause of low back pain and radiculopathy. The therapy of the disease is classified into conservative treatment or surgical intervention. The majority of these cases successfully heal with conservative managemant, even though it was claimed that the henirated disc material would not resolved spontaneously without surgical removal. It was reported that there was no significant difference in outcome and cost effectiveness between conservative and surgical therapy group. Also after conservative therapy the resorption of herniated disc with satisfactory improvement of symptom was reported. Conservative treatment includes bed rest, heat, drug therapy, therapeutic exercises, physical therapy such as traction and manipulation, and acupuncture. These managements show favorable outcome in the patients with herniated lumbar intervertebral disc. So conservative management should be applied in the therapy of herniated intervertebral disc, unless there exist aggravation during the first 3 weeks of treatment or apparent surgical care indication. And further investigation to improve effectiveness of conservative therapy should be ensued.

The inhalation of a foreign body into the tracheobronchial tree is a child is a life-threatening accident. Forgotten foreign bodies In the airways cause chronic pulmonary infections, allergic asthma, bronchiectatic changes, and lung abscess Foreign bodies that cannot be grasped by bronchoscopic forceps should be removed by thoracotomy and bronchotomy. This report describes our experience In 16 patients who were treated to remove inhaled foreign bodies from the airways after repeated bronchoscopies had been unsuccessful from 1963 to 1981 at the department thoracic surgery of Seoul National University Hospital. The surgical procedures are as follows: 12 patients bronchotomy, 2 patient pneumonectomy, 2 patients lobectomy. In these cases, the foreign bodies are 8 metallic material, 3 plastic material, 1 bean, 1 black snail, and 3 cases of no records. Bronchotomy must be performed as soon as possible in order to avoid more advanced pathologic changes In the Involved lung, such as bronchiectasis, fibrosis or abscess.

Arthrosis of the temporomandibular joint is defined as a disease of a joint with chief complaint of pain, clicking, limited jaw movements. Generally, most patients with the temporomandibular arthrosis can be treated conservatively with muscle relaxation therapy combined with mandibular repositioning prostheses, followed by occlusal equilibration, restorative dentistry and/or orthodontics, and many other forms of treatment. In case prior nonsurgical treatment proved to be ineffective or the disease is chronic and severe, surgical operation is recommended. For patients with arthrosis of the temporomandibular joint, only discectomy as therapeutic method of the surgical treatment should not be applied and the removed articular disc of the temporomandibular joint should be replaced. Allograft such as Proplast-Teflon, Silastic, etc have been used as replacements of removed articular disc. However, these allograft materials have caused complications such as inflammatory changes, foreign body reactions. As a result, a replacement material which is autogenous, space occupying, easy to harvest and less inflammatory change has been developed. Auricular cartilage with perichondrium satisfies many of these requirements. The apparent advantages of autogenous auricular cartilage as an interpositional graft after a discectomy are as follows, (1) the form of the external ear corresponds to joint morphology, (2) a graft of adequate size can be harvested, (3) the form of the external ear remains unchanged after surgery, (4) the graft can be obtained adjacent to the surgical site, (5) biologically acceptable material is used, (6) the additional expense of allogenic graft is avoided. Because we considered autogenous auricular cartilage as a good replacement material, removed articular disc has been replaced with fresh autogenous auricular cartilage in the case of three patients. The result of the treatment is favorable, and the cases being presented here.
