The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of partial osseointegration situation on bone loading patterns around two different free-standing screw shaped implants (Nobel Biocare, Gothenburg, Sweden and Degussa-Huls, Hanau, German). Two dimensional axisymmetric Finite element models of two implants(10mm length and 4mm diameter) were created according to different bone quantity, quality and osseointegration ratio in maxilla and mandible bone. At the same time uni-cortical and bi-cortical fixation were analyzed. Generally, full bond case showed less stress than partial bond case in overall area and mandibular model showed less amount of stress than that of maxilla model. Maximum stress of the Branemark implant is higher than that of ANKYLOS regardless of bondingratio at crestal and apex region. However, more stress concentration was noted in ANKYLOS implant at screw body area especially in mandible. The effect of bicortical fixation on crestal bone stress reduction is dramatical in mandible however, there was no significant effect in maxillary case. The effect of partial bond on stress distribution was more significant at screw body and apex region than in crestal region. Partial bond cases demonstrated greater stress accumulation in trabecular bone than cortical bone. It is concluded that the more accurate model of implant and bone which affects stress and strain distribution is needed to mimic in vivo behavior of implants.

PURPOSE: To compare the case of widespread maxillary osteomyelitis treated through different approach. METHOD: We report the two case of osteomyelitis. In a case, we had gradually removed the small amount of sequestrum for several times. In the other case, intended Le Fort I fracture was done to approach the lesion. RESULT: In the gradual sequestrectomy case, bone formations were found after 4 months. In the other case, after intended Le Fort I down fracture, sequestrectomy of Lt. maxilla was done with the labiobuccal alveolar bone preserved for the prosthodontic treatment.

Recent development of dental implantology has taken an interest in the bone graft procedure. This is a review of literature, published from 1994 to November 1999. This study is provided by MEDLINE search. In this study, 718 patients received 829 graft with placing 2,677 endosseous implants. In mandible, nonvascularized or vascularized block bone grafts provided better results (success rate 95.2%) than particulate grafts(83.6%). But in maxilla, particulate grafts provided better results(93.7%, 86.2%) and more cases especially in sinus elevation. There were many cases using autogenous bone graft and revealed good results, but allogenic or alloplastic bone graft materials also were used by many surgeons.

Cancrum oris is a kind of gangrenous disease happening on the maxillofacial region. It is characterized by developing rapidly, high lethality and deforming rate. This article reported a case of maxillofacial deformity caused by cancrum oris, and discussed based on relevant literatures.

Osteoma is defined as a benign neoplasm of bony tissue. Osteomas are divided into two groups: central and peripheral by origin, compact and cancellous by histopathologic findings. Solitary osteoma of jaw bone, not related with Gardner syndrom, is relatively uncommon. We present two cases of huge solitary peripheral osteomas: compact type exophyting osteoma on the inferolingual side of mandibular angle and cancellous type on the residual ridge of posterior maxilla, which is extremely rare.

30 patients with the maxillary ferment tumor treated in the Institute of Face- Maxilla- Tooth during 1994- 1997 participated to a study. The results haves shown that age of disease acquiring were 16-30 years old. The morbidity rate of this disease in female was more frequent than this in male. The early diagnosis of disease impacts significantly on the progress, efficacy of the treatment and opportunity of functional rehebitation after treatment. The tumor in the corner of the mandibular teeth were frequent and related with reaimed teeth. Therefore, the abnormality in this area should be considered. X-ray played very important role in the diagnosis
