Objective: Disaster survivors often experience negative impacts on their mental health, but some may also exhibit posttraumatic growth, overcoming adversity, and finding positive outcomes. This study aimed to identify psychological factors influencing posttraumatic growth (PTG) among students who survived the Sewol ferry disaster. Methods: The study used a longitudinal design. Data were collected at 6-month intervals between high school graduation and 6 years after the ferry disaster. Data were obtained from 48 adolescents who completed self-report measures of rumination, meaning in life, coping, PTG, family adaptability and cohesion. Generalized estimating equation models were fitted to 11 waves of follow-up data. Results: Intrusive rumination (coefficient [coef]=0.165; p<0.001; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.081–0.250) and deliberate rumination (coef=0.554; p<0.001; 95% CI 0.376–0.732) were significantly associated with PTG. Concerning meaning in life, the presence of meaning (coef=0.312; p<0.001; 95% CI 0.189–0.435) and the search for meaning (coef=0.216; p=0.001; 95% CI 0.093–0.340) were also significantly associated with PTG. Finally, the problem-focused (coef=0.682; p=0.011; 95% CI 0.153–1.210) and emotion-focused (coef=0.736; p=0.009; 95% CI 0.186–1.285) coping strategies both showed significant associations with PTG. Conclusion The results of this study indicate that rumination, meaning in life, and adaptive coping (including cognitive and emotional coping) were protective factors for mental health problems among adolescents who survived the Sewol ferry disaster. These psychological factors may promote PTG over time.

With the increasing use of CAD-CAM (computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing) methods for prosthesis fabrication, utilization of virtual articulators in CAD software has also increased. Among the various methods of positioning the maxilla in a virtual articulator, there are techniques that utilize CBCT (cone-beam computed tomography) or facial scans without the use of a facebow.In this case, a full-mouth rehabilitation was planned for a patient who exhibited multiple crown fractures and occlusal plane disharmony through maxillary complete denture and mandibular fixed prosthetic restoration. Radiopaque markers were added to the duplicated maxillary temporary denture to take closed-mouth impression, which was then scanned and positioned on the CBCT. On CBCT, hinge axis connecting the medial poles of both mandibular condyles along with the Frankfort horizontal plane was designated and utilized to perform virtual articulator mounting. Maxillary complete denture and mandibular fixed prostheses were fabricated, resulting in satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcomes.
