본 연구의 목적은 한국인 정상교합자에서 하악치열궁의 형태적 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 한국인 102명의 정상교합자를 대상으로 하악 모형의 교합면을 복사한 후 13개의 접촉점중에서 가장 협측으로 위치한 부분을 digitize하였고 각 치아의 브라켓위치에 해당하는점을 하악치아의 두께에 의거하여 4개의 선계측과 2개의 비율을 측정하였다. 치열궁의 형태를 square, ovoid, tapered from으로 분류하여 그 빈도를 남녀성별에 따라 비교한 결과 특이한 차이점을 보이 지 않았으나 대구치간 폭경에서는 남녀 성별의 차이를 보였다. 정상교합자에서 치열궁 형태분포는 ovoid, square, tapered순 이었고 tapered arch from은 $10\%$미만이었다. 치열궁 형태의 빈도분포에 있어서 남녀간의 차이는 없었다.

치아의 마모는 노화로 인한 정상적인 과정이지만, 과도한 마모는 치아 구조물 상실, 치아민감성 증가, 치수 합병증 등 여러 합병증을 야기한다. 과도한 치아 마모 환자의 치료는 수직교합고경 상실 여부의 평가가 우선되어야 하는데, 보철수복공간이 부족할 경우 수직교합고경 증가가 필요할 수 있고, 종합적인 분석을 통해 치료계획을 수립하고 최소한의 증가량을 결정해야 한다. 본 증례는 66세 남환으로 심한 치아의 마모로 인한 저작기능 회복 및 심미적인 회복을 위해 내원하였다. 구강 검사, 방사선 검사, 진단 모형 검사 등을 통해 수직교합고경을 평가하고, 최소한의 수직교합고경 증가를 동반한 보철수복을 계획하였다. 8개월 간의 관찰 결과 중심위에서 치아의 균일한 접촉, 적절한 전방 및 측방 유도를 부여하였고, 환자의 기능적 문제를 해결하고 심미적 요구사항을 만족시킬 수 있었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

치아 마모는 다양한 생리적, 병리적인 원인으로 일어나는 치아 경조직의 상실을 의미하며, 과도한 병적 마모는 치수의 병적 변화, 교합 부조화, 저작 기능 상실 및 심미적 문제 등의 합병증을 유발할 수 있다. 이러한 마모의 원인에 대해서는 교모, 마모, 부식, 굴곡파절에 의해 유발될 수 있으며 구강 내 교합하는 환경에서는 복합적으로 작용함이 알려져 있다. 과도한 병적 마모를 가진 환자의 경우 수복 전 수직 고경의 감소 유무에 대한 판단이 중요하며, 정확한 진단 및 분석과 예지성 있는 치료 계획 수립을 통해 근신경계와 악관절의 안정과 적응을 동반한 완전구강회복이 이루어져야 한다. 본 증례의 환자는 63세 남환으로 치아들이 많이 닳아 있으며 전반적으로 시리다는 주소로 본원에 내원하였으며, 환자의 교합수직고경에 관한 면밀한 분석 이후 교합수직고경의 증가를 동반한 완전구강회복을 시행하였다. 전체 치아의 균등한 접촉, 기능적 악운동과 조화를 이루는 전방 유도 및 측방 운동 시구치부 이개와 교합 평면의 개선을 치료 목표로 하였으며, 만족스러운 심미 및 기능적 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the number of occlusal contacts in centric occlusion. The 50 strictly selected subjects, who have good natural dentition and occlusion, were impressioned with Alginate Impression material, and dental stone models were madel. After transfering the models from mouth to Hanau Articulator Model H2 by means of SM type Face-Bow, condylar guidances were registered, red articulating papers($13{\mu}$ in thickness) were inserted between upper and lower posterior teeth, and the red marked points and lines were counted as occlusal contact points. 1. The number of occlusal contact points in centric occlusion were 1st Molars 2nd Molars, 2nd Premolars and 1st Premolars in order. 2. The number of occlusal contact points of right side showed comparatively much more than those of left side. 3. The number of occlusal contact points of upper in Premolar area were much more than those of lower, and in Molar area were the reverse. 4. The total number of occlusal contact points in centric occlusion were approximately 105 points.

This study was performed to investigate the influence of lateral guidance pattern and chewing pattern on masticatory muscle activity and occlusal contact pattern. Twenty-five patients with temporomandibular disorders and thirty students without temporomandibular disorders were selected for this study. Electromyographic examination and occlusal contact examination were performed simultaneously with Bio-Pak System (Bioresearch Inc.,U.S.A.) and T-Scan System(Tekscan Co., USA). The obtained results were as follows : 1. The EMG activity of masseter and anterior temporal muscle in patient group with canine guidance was higher than with non-canine guidance. but there was no significant difference (p>0.05). 2. The EMG activity of anterior temporal muscle in normal group with non-canine guidance was higher at preferred chewing side than at opposite side (p<0.05). 3. The EMG activity of masseter muscle was higher in normal group than in patient group (p<0.05). 4. The number of occlusal contact in patient group with canine guidance was higher than with non-canine guidance, but there was no significant difference (p>0.05). 5. The occlusal contact force at preferred chewing side was higher in patient group than in normal group(p<0.05).

The purpose of his study was to investigate the variations of occlusal contact pattern according to chewing side preference. The author selected 59 dental students (mean age 23.6 years) who had no signs and symptoms of masticatory disorders and divided into two groups, that is, bilateral chewing side group and unilateral chewing side group, respectively. For recording, T-Scan System(Teksan Inc., USA) was used and the recorded occlusal contacts were examined as to the number of occlusal contacts, points distribution in dental arch, time sequence and force snapshot. The obtained results were as follow s: 1. Total number of occlusal contacts were more in unilateral chewing side group and there were significant difference in number between right and left side or between chewing and less-chewing side in all two groups. 2. All items related to time sequence showed no statistical significant difference between two groups in any case. 3. Unilateral chewing side group had more occlusal contact force than bilateral group, especially in chewing side. From the above finding, the author considered that there was occlusal unbalance in unilateral chewing side group. 4. Chewing side preference would possibly have more effects on the occurrence rate of anterior tooth contact that the rate of prolonged their contact but proved.

The number of occlusal contact points and he occlusal relation were investigated in dental students who were selected on the basis of normal occlusion and normal function of stomatognathic system. Silicone-Black Bites obtained from fifty subjects were analyzed on their white models and occlusal contacts were traced on models directly. The results were as follows; 1. There was no evident difference in the number of occlusal contact points between right and left sides 2. In the retruded position the numbers of occlusal contact points were $5.96{\pm}3.35$ in the upper jaws and $6.12{\pm}3.52$ in the lower jaws. 3. In the retruded position no occlusal contact point was found on the central and lateral incisors of upper and lower jaws. 4. Occlusal contact points were found almost on second molars of upper and lower jaws in the retruded position.

This study was performed to investigate the influence of occlusal change on the masticatory muscle activity. 8 students without any symptom of T.M.J. dysfunction, any history of prosthodontic or orthodontic treatment on dental college of WonKwang Univ. were participated in this study. The activity of masseter and anterior temporal muscles were measured by bioelectric processor(EM2, Myotronics, Inc., U.S.A.) during voluntary maximal clenching on natural teeth, by splint with bilateral posterior surface contact, by splint with unilateral posterior surface contact, and by splint without unilateral posterior teeth contact. The obtained results were as follows ; 1. The loss of posterior contact on noe side resulted in change of the activity of anterior temporal and masseter muscle during clenching on ipsilateral side, but there was no change of muscle activity on contralateral side. 2. The activity of anterior temporal and masseter muscle during clenching were not affected by the pattern of occlusal contact. 3. There were no difference between the activity of anterior temporal and masseter miuscle during clenching by natural teeth and by occlusal splint.

There are have been reports that the distribution of electromyographical(EMG) activity is determined in a predictable manner by both the location and number of occlusal contacts. However, these reports placed an emphasis on whole dentition. Inclined plane contacts in the frontal plane are classified as A-, B- or C-types. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between occlusal tooth contact patterns and EMG activity of masseter muscle during maximum voluntary clenching. Methods: Fifteen healthy human subjects(Mean age; 25.3 years) volunteered to participate in this study. Acrylic resin overlays were fabricated for upper 2nd premolars and 1st molars bilaterally, and offered 3 types(A-, B- and AB- type contact). EMG activity of the masseter muscles was recorded bilaterally during maximum voluntary clenching. Statistical analysis was performed using the one-way ANOVA. Results: The group with a A-type contact showed a statistically lower EMG activity of masseter muscle than that of natural group(p<0.05) and that of B- and AB- type groups(p<0.01) on both upper 2nd premolars and upper 1st molars. Conclusions: These results suggest that occlusal tooth contact patterns have an influence on EMG activity of masseter muscle during maximum voluntary clenching.

임플란트 수복 후 발생하는 인접면 공간개방으로 인한 식편압입은 임플란트를 시술한 환자에게 매우 흔히 발생하는 현상이다. 이는 임플란트와 치아의 움직임 기전이 달라 발생하며 시간이 경과하면 30-60% 정도 발생하는데, 기여요인으로는 악골(하악), 부위(구치부), 인접치(실활치) 및 대합치(자연치 또는 임플란트) 등이 있다. 이런 현상을 방지할 수는 없으나 최소화하기 위한 노력을 기울여야 한다. 가급적 이상적인 인접접촉을 가지도록 상부 1/3에 협설로 인접치와 대칭적인 인접면 형태를 만들어 주기 위해 오목한 형태나 하방이 풍융한 인접치 형태를 수정하고 수복할 때는 다른 조건을 수정하여 변연융선의 높이를 맞추어 주어야 한다. 불규칙한 교합평면은 예후를 나쁘게 하는 원인이므로 정출된 대합치를 수정하고 기능이상을 유발하는 원심협측 교두를 수정함으로써 이상적인 교합평면을 회복함으로써 식편압입 현상을 최소화시켜야 한다.
