Congenital biliary atresia with progressive sclerosis of the intra- and extra-hepatic duct system occurs in 1 : 10,000 live births, and has a poor prognosis with an expected survival of less than 5 years. Etiology of biliary atresia is unclear, however, it is believed a genetic or developmental cause. The clinical characteristics include pronounced jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, pruritus, steatorrhea, xanthomas, growth retardation, portal hypertension, bleedings, ascites and respiratory infections. Oral manifestations have seldom been reported in patients with biliary atresia, but there may be enamel hypoplasia, delayed tooth eruption, and green teeth. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention have decreased morbidity. returned growth and development to normal and improved the prognosis for survival. Authors report the clinical and radiologic characteristics, proper managements about two cases with biliary atresia.

The aim of this study was to examine that thick dentin bonding agent application or low modulus composite restoration could reduce stresses on dentin bonding agent layer. A mandibular first premolar with abfraction lesion was modeled by finite element method. The lesion was restored by different composite resins with variable dentin bonding agent thickness ($50{\mu}m$, $100{\mu}m$, $150{\mu}m$). 170N of occlusal loading was applied buccally or lingually. Von Mises stress on dentin bonding agent layer were measured. When thickness of dentin bonding agent was increased von Mises stresses at dentin bonding agent were decreased in both composites. Lower elastic modulus composite restoration showed decreased von Mises stresses. On root dentin margin more stresses were generated than enamel margin. For occlusal stress relief at dentin boning agent layer to applicate thick dentin bonding agent or to choose low elastic modulus composite is recommended.

Anchorage control in orthodontic treatment is an important factor affecting treatment results. In the conventional approach, intra-oral anchorage such as application of differential force and moment, Nance holding arch and lingual arch, as well as extra-oral anchorage such as head gear were used for anchorage reinforcement. However, these anchorages may result in undesired tooth movement and require patient cooperation. To overcome these disadvantages, skeletal anchorage system was introduced as orthodontic anchorage. Types of skeletal anchorage include implant, onplant, miniplate and miniscrew. Especially, miniscrew has many advantages such as reduced patient cooperation, low cost and easy placement. Recently, it is successfully used in orthodontic treatment. This cases were treated using orthodontic miniscrews for retraction of ectopically erupting maxillary canine and impacted mandibular canine and intrusion of maxillary incisors.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the stress distribution in the periodontal tissue and the displacement of teeth when active torque was applied to the maxillary incisors by three-dimensional finite element analysis A three-dimensional finite element model consisted of the maxillary teeth and surrounding periodontal membrane, $.022{\times}.028$ Roth prescription bracket and stainless steel, NiTi and TMA rectangular ideal arch wires which were modeled by hexahedron elements. Applied active torques were 2, 5 and 10 degrees ThHe findings of this study showed that the reaction force acting or the bracket was the extrusion force on the mesial side of the incisors and canine and the intrusion force on the distal side of the incisors and canine. The amount of force and moment was greatest at the lateral incisor. When active anterior labial crown torque was applied. labial crown and distal tipping and Intrusion of the incisors took place. and lingual crown distal tipping and extrusion of the canine occured. An excessive force was concentrated on the lateral incisor, when the stainless steel wire was used NiTi or TMA wire is desirable for torque control.

Recently several techniques have been reported for the treatment of anterior open bite in adults characterized by molar intrusion with skeletal anchorage. In this study, five adult patients who had anterior open bite malocclusion were selected to undergo upper molar intrusion with midpalatal miniscrew to close the open bite. The aim of this study is (1) to validate true intrusion of molars in adults (2) to test the usefullness of midpalatal miniscrews as anchorage for intruding upper molars (3) to evaluate the skeletal and dental changes of open bite closure. The results are as follows. (1) All had true intrusion of the maxillary molars. Mean amount of molar intrusion was 3.4mm(range 1.5-5mm). (2) No movement of midpalatal miniscrew occurred during their use. (3) Open bite closure was achieved for all 5 patients. The mandible closed and B-point rotated anteriorly and upward. The mandibular plane angle and the occlusal plane angle decreased.

The purpose of this experimental study was to determine appropriate magnitude of the Gable bends to produce maximum retraction of the anterior teeth. The Calorific Machine was used to illustrate the tooth movement in three dimension. The experimental teeth except the first premolar were embedded in the artificial alveolar bone part. In a series of experiments, the extraction space was closed using arch wires with bull loops into which the gable bends of $10^{\circ},\;20^{\circ},\;30^{\circ}$ degrees were incorporated. The experiments were repeated three times for each degree of the gable bend. Before and after the space closure, radiographs were taken in the sagittal and occlusal directions using occlusal films. Analysis of variance and Scheffe post hoc test were used to determine significant differences among the three groups. The following results were obtained. 1. As magnitudes of the gable bends increased, more bodily anterior tooth movement was seen and the distance of retraction also increased. 2. As magnitudes of the gable bends increase, the amount of posterior tooth protraction decreased while intrusive and buccal movement increased. 3. The arch was coordinated by distal-in rotation of the canine and mesial-in rotation of the second premolar adjacent to the extraction space.

The Purposes of this study were to investigate the initial tissue changes on the teeth and surrounding tissues under contraction and intrusive force by contraction UTA. A control and experimental dogs, 10-months in age, were studied. Contraction and intrusive force(60gm) were applied at upper four incisors by contraction UTA. Experimental dogs were sacrificed at 2 weeks and 4 weeks after force application, respectively. In this study, 2 experimental groups were designed by the duration of force applied(E1, E2). The specimens were taken around the upper first and second incisor in each groups and were prepared for the H-E and MT stain for light microscopic observation. From the results of the study, the following conclusions may be drown. : 1. In control group, the periodontal ligament width was constant from apical third to cervical third of the root and periodontal fiber arrangement was horizontal or oblique in cervical third, oblique in middle third and apical third. In alveolar bond, smooth appearance was shown with osteoblast. 2. In experimental group 1, in proportion to force was concentrated at labial middle third and apical third of root of the upper first and second incisors, root of these tooth tipped labially and intruded at a time. 3. In experimental group 2, periodontal ligament width and arrangement was similar to control and observed strong calcified response at the labial middle third of root. But, alveolar bond resorption and cementum resorption were as before seen at labial middle third and apical third of root that force was concentrated.

Infraocclusion is defined as tooth whose relative occlusal movement was blocked during the period of active eruption due to ankylosis and so on. Then infraoccluded tooth remains under the occlusal plane composed by adjacent structures showing normal eruption patterns. Untreated infraocclusion may cause: prolonged retention of infraoccluded teeth; extrusion of apposed teeth; destruction of periodontal tissues by occlusal force and food packing; increased sensitivity for dental caries; and disturbances on eruption pathway of succedaneous teeth. Therefore, periodic check-ups and proper treatments are required. There are many treatment options on infraoccluded deciduous molars such as periodic observation, conservative method, restoration and space regaining with extraction of the teeth. The choice of treatment may depend on the presence of succedaneous teeth, time of diagnosis and degree of infraocclusion. In this case report, three patients showing displacement of the second premolars due to infraocclusion of upper second primary molars, were treated by means of space regaining with removable orthodontic appliances and extraction of ankylosed primary molars. All malpositioned permanent premolars in the 3 cases showed ordinary eruption pathways after treatment.
