Patients with ectodermal dysplasia often have atrophied alveolar bone and an inadequate maxillomandibular relationship owing to congenital edentulism.Accurate implant placement that can overcomes anatomical limitations and orthognathic surgery to improve the maxillomandibular relationship is necessary for creating implant-supported prosthesis for these patients. Implant placement and provisional prosthesis fabrication before orthognathic surgery can provide critical fixed reference points and ensure accuracy during orthognathic surgery.In our patient, a digital system was used to design a surgical guide that considered the predictable position of the definitive prosthesis, allowing the placement of implants to overcome anatomical limitations and the creation of fixed reference points via the delivery of a provisional prosthesis for effective orthognathic surgery. The lack of compensation during orthognathic surgery was considered in the definitive prosthesis. As a result, a prosthesis with a minimal anterior cantilever was fabricated. This study aimed to determine the appropriate sequence of multidisciplinary collaborations that would, result in the best functional and aesthetic outcomes.

This study employed focus group interviews (FGIs) to evaluate the preparedness and training requirements for an emerging infectious disease response system in the Republic of Korea.Based on the FGIs, the critical role of interdepartmental cooperation in responding to emerging infectious diseases was identified, with agencies such as public health centers, police, and fire services playing key roles in scene control, decontamination, and patient transport. Frequent staff turnover and a lack of trained personnel at local government levels were significant challenges, necessitating the development of training materials for unskilled workers. Civil complaints, common during outbreaks, require public officials to be educated on legal frameworks and the management of patients’ rights. The absence of standardized procedures for managing patients, such as bed assignments considering underlying conditions and sample collection, underscores the need for comprehensive guidelines.Interviewees emphasized cross-departmental training, detailed manuals, and legal education to improve infectious disease response capabilities.

Postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) is used in forensic medicine worldwide due to its ability to non-invasively visualize injuries, hemorrhage, and estimate volume. In the autopsy of infants, assessing nutritional conditions such as weight is crucial for identifying neglect. This study aims to evaluate the usefulness of retrospectively estimating the weight of Korean infants using PMCT-based volume and multiplication factors, even when the body has been cremated. A total of 44 cases of infant death (under 12 months) were analyzed. PMCT images were obtained before autopsy. Autopsy records and documentation provided by the police at the time of autopsy were reviewed to determine the weight (g) of the infant. PMCT-based infant volumes (mL) were estimated using a three-dimensional semi-automatic segmentation method. Multiplication factors (g/mL) were calculated by dividing the weight recorded at autopsy by the PMCT-based volume, yielding a mean of 1.047 g/mL, ranging from 1.014 g/mL to 1.085 g/mL. The mean absolute error compared to weights recorded at autopsy was 95 g. Significant discrepancies were observed between weights recorded at the scene or medical center and those measured at autopsy. This study demonstrates that PMCT-based weight estimation for Korean infants is a reliable method and has the potential for retrospectively validating incorrect weight measurements and addressing inconsistencies in recorded weight data.
