This study was carried out to examine the main cause of influencing oral health impact profile (OHIP) and self-esteem of patients on orthodontic treatment. Questionnaire was used for research based on 200 patients on orthodontic treatment in four dental clinics specialized orthodontic treatment and located in Daegu. General characteristics, orthodontic treatment characteristics, OHIP, and self-esteem were examined to analyze the cause of influencing OHIP and self-esteem of patients on orthodontic treatment. The results, Influential factors in OHIP, The younger age (P<0.01), showed that healthier oral condition (P<0.001), and treatment done by family encouragement (P<0.05) were the influential factors of OHIP. Influential factors in self esteem showed that male (P<0.05), unmarried (P<0.01), and higher income (P<0.05) were influential factors of self esteem.

Objectives One aspect of undesirable outcomes in orthodontic treatment includes excessive resorption of dental roots with mechanotherapy. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between treatment duration, adult and adolescent, gender, extraction and non-extraction root resorption after orthodontic treatment. Methods The subjects consisted of 140 orthodontic patients(adult : 70, adolescent : 70) who treated by standard edgewise technique at the three orthodontic hospital and clinic in seoul. Pre-treatment and post-treatment periapical radiographs were examined. The amount of root resorption was assessed for six anterior teeth according to criteria modified from Lupi et al root resorption score. Results Treatment duration was 24.7 months in the adult group and 33.5 months in the adolescents group. Between adult and adolescents group were significantly difference of mean of root resorption score(p<0.05). Female group and extraction group usually had higher prevalence of root resorption, but were not significant differences between the each groups(p>0.05). Conclusions When viewing these results, a lot of root resorption in adult patients appears, especially the maxillary central incisor, lateral incisor root resorption during orthodontic treatment occurs, so be careful and do more research to be done is suggested.

Distribution of orthodontic patients in pediatric dental clinics has increased recently. So it is worth to study about the present status of orthodontic patients in pediatric dental clinics. The purpose of this study was to recognize the characteristics and orthodontic patterns of orthodontic patients in pediatric dental clinics. The material consisted of distribution and orthodontic analysis records of 792 new patients in the department of pediatric dentistry, Seoul National University Dental Hospital, from 2006 to 2008. Results were as follows 1. In age distribution, 8-year-olds group comprised 22%, 7-year-olds 19%, 9-year-olds 16%, 10-year olds 15%, 11-year-olds 11%, and other age groups comprised 18%. 2. In skeletal patterns, skeletal class I patients comprised 52%, class II 29%, and class III 19%. 3. In vertical facial types mesofacial comprised 41%, brachyfacial 35%, and dolichofacial 24%. 4. Out of 792 patients 218 patients(28%) showed anterior cross-bite, and the occurrence ratio of anterior cross-bite increased as the age decreased.

1800년대에 유럽에서 가철식 교정장치가 개발되면서 처음으로 교정치료가 시작되었다. 그 후 1900년대에 들어서면서 Edward H.Angle에 의해 미국의 독특한 형태인 고정식 교정장치가 개발되었다. 그 동안 수 많은 선학들에 의해 다양한 재료와 치료방법들이 고안되면서 아름다워지고자 하는 현대인의 욕구와 맞물려 임상교정학 분야는 꾸준히 발전하여 왔다. 국내에서는 1940년대 이후부터 외국의 가철식 교정장치와 고정식 교정장치를 그대로 받아들여 수 많은 부정교합 환자의 치료에 응용하고 있다. 그러나 조금만 더 세밀하게 들여다 보면 가철식 교정장치를 개발한 유럽의 교정의들은 지나치게 가철식 교정장치에만 의존하는 경향이 있고, 고정식 교정장치를 개발한 미국의 교정의들은 지나치게 고정식 교정장치에만 의존하면서 가철식 교정장치의 사용을 아예 금기시하는 경우도 있다. 그러나 이 두가지의 경우 모두 바람직하지 않다. 수혜자의 위치에 있는 우리가 할 수 있는 최선의 방법은 아무련 편견없이 가철식 교정장치와 고정식 교정장치를 적절하게 병행하여 사용하는 것이 바람직하다. 두 장치 모두 확실한 장ㆍ단점을 가지고 있기 때문에 시기와 방법을 적절하게 적용한다면 성공적인 교정치료를 위한 지름길이 될 수 있다.

This study was designed to investigate the status of orthodontic treatment and facial plastic surgery among 389 patients who visited dental clinics located in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. After the collection of data, an analysis was carried out using a spss statistical program. The analysis results are as follows. the level of satisfaction with orthodontic treatment from patients with experience of the orthodontic treatment turned out to be high(p<0.01). Women considered 3.01 to 4 million won to be reasonable cost for orthodontic treatment (p<0.05), which is higher cost recognized by men, and patients with experience of orthodontic treatment recognized 19 to 24 months as the proper orthodontic treatment period(p<0.01). In addition, women showed higher figures than men in their awareness on the need for orthodontic treatment checkups(p<0.001), and facial plastic surgery experience (p<0.01). With respect to the part of the face on which they hoped to have plastic surgery, eye plastic surgery was higher in women (p<0.01), and nose surgery turned out to be higher in patients with experience of orthodontic treatment(p<0.05). Meanwhile, women considered the eye as the most important part among other facial areas (p<0.001), and they recognized that dentist should perform plastic surgery on both jaws among facial areas(p<0.01). In conclusion, the dental medical staff should provide consultations and operate treatment systems in consideration of gender differences and needs of dental patients. In the case of orthodontic treatment for the improvement of facial appearance, especially double jaw surgery which is closely related to the oral function, professional dental medical staff needs to perform the operation, considering the special oral environment. In addition, it is determined that provision of relevant medical information and promotion of dental service is required to provide patients with correct knowledge about orthodontic treatment and facial plastic surgery.
