The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the change of tooth mobility following orthodontic tooth movement. Six orthodontic patients which had been treated with edgewise appliance were used. Tooth mobility was measured with Periostest at the time of the removal of orthodontic appliance and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24 weeks after appliance removal. Following results were obtained: 1. Tooth mobility upon the removal of orthodontic appliance showed individual variation while incisor showed greater mobility than the other teeth. 2. Tooth mobility showed continued decrease pattern until 24 weeks after appliance removal. 3. While maxillary incisors showed continued decrease pattern during the study period, the other teeth showed steep decline pattern during the first 12 weeks and gentle slope during the second 12 weeks. 4. The tooth mobility of the maxillary second premolar showed the most typical change in terms of the consistency of the decline. 5. There were no significant differences of tooth mobility between heavy- and light-contacted anterior teeth during experimental period. The results of the present study suggested that periodontal reorganization is not completed even in 24 weeks following orthodontic tooth movement.

급격한 치아외상은 치아 경조직에 손상을 주기도 하지만 치수와 치주조직에도 손상을 입힌다. 탈구(luxation)의 경우, 외상에 의해 치근단공 부위에서 신경혈관계의 파괴가 초래되지만 치근파절의 경우에는 파절전 부위에서 이와 유사한 손상이 나타난다. 그러므로 치근파절을 파절선 상부의 치관부에 대한 일종의 탈구로 보기도 한다. 본 증례보고는 외상에 의한 치근파절의 두 가지 치유양상을 비교한 것으로, 한 증례는 특정한 치과적 처치없이 스스로 치유된 경우이고 다른 한 증례는 치아고정 및 근관치료를 포함한 치과치료후에 치유된 경우이다. 수평치근파절의 치유에는 여러 가지 요인이 관여하지만 특히 치아동요도 및 치수생활력이 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 증례에서와 같이 치아의 동요도가 있는 경우에는 고정을 통해서 치유를 촉진하고 치수의 괴사가 초래된 경우에는 근관치료를 포함한 적절한 치과치료를 통해서 치유가 일어날 수 있다. 따라서 치근이 파절된 경우에는 장기간의 관찰을 통해 파절부 치유 및 치수손상 여부를 관찰, 진단하고 그에 따른 적절한 처치를 시행해야 할 것이다.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the changes in tooth mobility following orthodontic treatment and to obtain information regarding the guideline of retainer wear duration during the post-treatment period. Methods: The sample consisted of twenty patients who had been treated with edgewise appliances. The mobility of the maxillary teeth from the central incisor to the first molar was measured bilaterally by way of the $Periotest^{(R)}$, a non-invasive, electronic device that provides an objective measurement of the reaction of the periodontium to a defined impact load. Tooth mobility was monitored at the time of the removal of the orthodontic appliances and subsequently at three-month intervals during the two years following appliance removal. Results: Tooth mobility decreased rapidly for the first six months and then decreased at a slower rate during the next six months; no statistically significant decrease in mobility was observed during the second year following appliance removal. Conclusions: The results of the present study suggest that adequate tooth stabilization is critical during the first six months following appliance removal and that continued wearing of retainers is recommended at least until twelve months after the completion of orthodontic treatment.

The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is the regeneration of supporting tissues. It is recommended to avoid probing until 6~9 months following the regenerative therapy because the probing may jeopardize the newly formed tissues. We can measure tooth mobility objectively using Periotest. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Periotest can be used to evaluate the treatment results alternatively, and whether there are the correlations between the changes of Periotest value (PTV) and other clinical parameters. Regenerative treatments have been performed on 29 teeth of twenty five patients, at Department of Periodontology, Pusan National University Hospital. We measured the tooth mobility by Periotest and other parameters at the baseline, 6 and 12 months after regenerative treatment. Compared to the baseline, there were the statistically significant improvements in all the parameters at 6 months and 12 months. There were statistically significant correlations among the probing depth, attachment level, gingival recession and PTV at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. Also there was the correlation between changes in PTV and in the attachment level at each time of observation period. We may conclude that regenerative therapy would improve the clinical parameters and periodontal status and PTV would be an alternative index to evaluate the healing process after regenerative surgery.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the flexural strength of flexible resins and the flexibility of different resin splint (RS) systems in comparison with resin wire splint (RWS) system. Materials and methods: Three different resin materials (G-aenial flo, GA, GC; Superbond, SB, Sun medical; G-fix, GF, GC) were tested flexural strength test in accordance with ISO-4049:2000. For the flexibility test of splint systems, a artificial model with resin teeth was used to evaluate three types of resin splint systems (GA, SB, and GF) and one resin wire splint system. The left central incisor was simulated 'injured teeth' with third degree mobility. Three consecutively repeated measurements of periotest value were taken in horizontal direction, before and after splinting to access tooth mobility. The splinting effect was calculated through the periotest value. Differences were evaluated through One-way Anova and Tukey HDS post-hoc tests for pair-wise comparison (${\alpha}=.05$). Results: Although GA group showed significant higher flexural strength than SB and GF groups, all of three different resin splint systems produced a significantly higher and rigid splinting effect compared with 016" resin-wire splint system (P < .05). Conclusion: Within the limits of an in vitro study, it can be stated that resin splint systems are too rigid and may not be acceptable to treat tooth avulsion.

자연치의 경우에는 치주지수간의 상관관계가 정립되어 병적인 상태에 대한 진단과 그에 따른 치료방법을 결정하는데 많은 정보를 제공하나, 인공매식치에서는 아직 논란의 여지가 많다. 이에 임상적으로 안정화되어 기능하고 있는 인공매식치에서 치주지수간의 상관관계에 관하여 연구하고자 하였다. 총 43명의 환자(평균 44.7세)에 식립된 178개의 인공매식치를 연구에 이용하였다. 인공치아매식술을 시행한 후 1년에서 6년이 경과한 인공매식치에서 상부보철물을 제거한 후 치태지수, 치은열구출혈지수, 각화점막지수, 치주낭깊이, Periotest Values(PTVs) 등을 측정하여 각각의 분포상황과 상관관계를 분석하였다. 이 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 치태지수의 평균값은 $0.83{\pm}0.82$이었다. 2. 치은열구출혈지수의 평균값은 $1.04{\pm}0.86$이었다. 3. 각화점막지수의 평균값은 $2.47{\pm}0.95$이었다. 4. 치주낭깊이의 평균값은 $3.12{\pm}1.14\;mm$이었다. 5. Periotest Values(PTVs)의 평균값은 $-0.66{\pm}4.28$이었다. 6. 치태지수, 치주낭깊이가 증가함에 따라 치은열구출혈지수는 유의성있게 증가하였다(P<0.01). 7. 각화점막지수가 증가함에 따라 치은열구출혈지수는 유의성있게 감소하였다(P<0.01). 8. 치은열구출혈지수와 매식치동요도 사이에서는 유의성있는 상관관계를 발견할 수 없었다(P>0.05). 9. 치주낭깊이와 매식치동요도 사이에서도 유의성있는 상관관계를 발견할 수 없었다(P>0.05). 10. 인공매식치의 직경과 길이가 증가함에 따라 매식치동요도는 유의성있게 감소하였다(P<0.01). 11. 하악에서의 매식치동요도가 상악의 경우와 비교하여 유의성있게 작았다(P<0.01). 결론적으로, 인공매식치에서도 자연치에서와 동일한 양상으로 치태가 많을수록, 그리고 치주낭 깊이가 깊을수록 염증의 심도와 관련이 깊은 것으로 생각된다. 특히, 인공매식치의 경우에는 같은 양의 치태가 존재시에 각화치은이 충분히 있는 쪽이 염증발생이 적은 것으로 나타났다. 치주조직에 염증이 존재하는 경우, 자연치아에서는 치아의 동요도가 증가하는 것으로 알려져있으나, 이 실험의 인공매식치에서는 유의성있는 상관관계를 발견할 수 없었다. 임상적으로 안정화된 인공매식치의 동요도는 염증정도에는 큰 영향을 받지 않고 인공매식치의 직경과 길이가 증가함에 따라 감소함을 보여주고 있다. 또한, 인공매식치의 동요도는 상하악골의 골질에 따라 차이가 있음을 명확히 보여주고 있다.
