Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the dentoalveolar compensation in facial asymmetry individuals using an integration of a CBCT image and a laser scanned dental cast image. Methods: The subjects consisted of 30 adults with asymmetric mandibles and 20 adults with symmetric mandibles. The CBCT and laser scanned dental cast images were integrated with a registration technique. Canine and first molar position and angulation were assessed from reference coordinates. The differences between deviated and non-deviated sides were analyzed with the paired t-test. The differences shown according to menton deviation were also statistically analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis. Results: The experimental group showed deviated and non-deviated side differences (dev.-ndev.) in the position and angle of the canine and first molars. Menton deviation showed positive correlation with the deviation side (dev.-ndev.) for the maxillary and mandibular 1st molar angles, negative correlation with the deviation side for the vertical position of the maxillary 1st molars, transverse position of the mandibular canine, transverse position and vertical position of the mesio-lingual cusp of the mandibular 1st molars. Conclusions: The upper and lower canine and first molars of facial asymmetry individuals were compensated, so the transverse position, vertical position, and angle showed differences between the deviated/non-deviated sides.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between menton deviation and dental compensation in facial asymmetry. Methods: Tooth axis and distance of first molar and canine to the reference plane were investigated by cone-beam computerized tomography. The subjects consisted of 50 patients with asymmetric mandibles (male 21, female 29, mean age 24.3 years). Control groups were also assessed (male 11, female 9, mean age 25.6 years). Nine measurements (5 linear measurements and 4 angular measurements) were measured in order to evaluate the correlation between menton deviation and the linear and angular difference of first molar and canine in the deviated and none-deviated sides using the defined MPR images. The differences between deviated and non-deviated side, according to menton deviation, were statistically analyzed using stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results: From the result, Menton deviation was negatively correlated with mandibular first molar's angular measurement (${\Delta\angle}LM6$-Mn plane (dev.-ndev.)) and positively with maxillary fist molar's angular measurement (${\Delta\angle}UM6$-FH plane (dev.-ndev.)) (p < 0.01). Two angular measurements (${\Delta\angle}LM6$-Mn plane (dev.-ndev.), ${\Delta\angle}UM6$-FH plane (dev.-ndev.)) explained the variability in menton deviation with a significant $r^2$ value of 0.589. Conclusions: This study suggests that the tooth axis of upper and lower first molars leans towards the deviated side of Menton when there is mandibular asymmetry with Menton deviation.

Orbital infection or inflammation is a rare but serious complication of an odontogenic infection. Odontogenic infection can spread to the orbit by one or more of several paths. Such extension is potentially dangerous and can lead to loss of vision or worse. 5-cases of orbital infection and inflammation secondary to infection from upper or lower molar teeth, which extended to the subperiosteal or the retrobulbar region of the orbit, are presented in this report. The infections spreaded to the infratemporal and temporal fossa or the ethmoidal labyrinth, and then to the orbit via the inferior orbital fissure or the lamina papyracea. The clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, route of spread, value of serial CT scanning, treatment and possible complications are reviewed.

치주상태의 진단은 일반적으로 치주탐침과 같은 임상적 검사와 보조적으로 방사선 검사를 이용한다. 방사선학적인 검사가 치주조직의 파괴정도와 골 흡수를 진단하는데 유용하지만 실제적인 골 흡수를 정확하게 나타나는데는 한계가 있다고 하였다. 그리고 임상적 측정과 방사선 사진을 비교연구하여 이들간의 관계를 알아보고자 하는 노력이 있었다. 방사선이 임상에서 참고사항으로는 중요하지만 절대적 신뢰를 주는데는 문제가 있는 것으로 생각되어왔다. 방사선학적 측정과 임상지수 측정간의 상관관계에대하여 계속적인 연구를 통해 규명하는 것이 중요하다고 생각되어 저자는 연세대학교 치과 대학병원 치주과를 내원한환자중 연령 및 성별에 관계없이 전신질환이 없는 환자 130명을 대상으로 소구치의 원.근심부, 대구치의 원.중.근심부에서 치주낭의 깊이와 (P.D), 부착상실 (A.L)을 측정하였다. 방사선 사진상의 원.근심부에서 백악 법랑질 경계부에서 치조골능 상부까지의 치조골 수준 (Rx.B.L)을 측정하였고 이개부 부위에서는 이개부의 천정으로부터 나타나는 골 흡수의 방사선 투과상을 측정하였다. 이를 기초로 임상지수와 방사선학적 측정간에 상관관계를 연구하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 원·근심부의 P.D와 Rx.B.L을 비교 했을 때 상관관계는 모든 치아에서 높게 나타났다(r=0.897$\sim$r=0.725, p<0.01). 2. 원·근심부의 A.L와 Rx.B.L을 비교 했을 때 상관관계는 모든 치아에서 높게 나타났다 (r=0.915$\sim$r=0.732, p<0.01 ). 3. 대구치 769개가 실험 대상인었다. 상악 대구치중(356개) 40%가 이개부 병소를 나타냈고 (146개), 하악 대구치중(413개) 41%가 이개부 병소를 나타냈다(170개). 4. 대구치의 이개부 병소의 중앙부에서 측정한 P.D와 Rx.B.L을 비교 하였을 때 상관관계는 상악 제1대구치를 제외한 모든 치아에서 높게 나타 났다(r=0.811$\sim$r=0.435, p<0.01). 5. 대구치의 이개부 병소의 중앙부에서 측정한 A.L와 Rx.B.L을 비교 하였을 때 상관관계는 상악 제1대구치를 제외한 모든 치아에서 높게 나타 났다(r=0.906$\sim$r=0.479, p<0.01). 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 임상지수와 방사선학적 측정을 비교한 바, 이들의 상관관계는 모든 치아에서 밀접하게 나타났다. 따라서 방사선학적 측정은 임상지수와 더불어 치주질환의 진단과 치료계획에 크게 기여할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study was designed to analysis the displacement and stress distribution of individual tooth by orthodontic force during distal on masse movement of the maxillary dentition. In this study, three dimensional finite element analysis was used. Author made the finite element model of maxillary teeth, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and bracket with anatomic and physiologic characteristics on computer. Author analysed and evaluated the displacement and stress distribution of individual tooth when extraoral force, Class II intermaxillary elastics, ideal arch wire, MEAW and tip back bend were used for distal on masse movement of the maxillary dentition. These analyses were also applied in the case of the maxillary second molar were not extracted. Author compared the results of the cases which maxillary second molar were extracted or not. The results were expressed quantitatively and visually. Author obtained following results, 1. When anterior headgear was applied, the posterior translation, posterior tipping, and vertical displacement of teeth were produced more in the anterior segment of the dentition. 2. When Class II intermaxillary elastics were applied in the ideal arch wire, the teeth displacement were usually produced in the anterior segment. But when tip back bend were added in the ideal arch wire, the orthodontic force produced by elastics were transmitted to the posterior segment. As increasing the tip back bend, posterior translation and lingual tipping of anterior teeth were decreased, posterior translation and tipping displacement of posterior teeth were increased, and extrusion of anterior teeth by Class II elastics were decreased 3. When MDAW and Class II elastics were applied, the teeth movement were sir flu with the case of ideal arch wire and Class II elastics, but more small and uniform teeth displacement were produced Compared with the ideal arch wire, posterior tipping of the posterior segment were more produced than lingual tipping displacement of the anterior segment. 4. When the maxillary second molar without orthodontic appliance existed, the displacement of maxillary first molar were decreased.
