PURPOSE. The maximum width between the mesial and distal labial transitional line angles, described as "esthetic width" herein, could significantly influence the visual perception of the teeth and smile. This study aimed to conduct biometric research on esthetic width and to explore whether regular distribution exists in the esthetic width of human teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 4,264 maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth were measured using the Geomagic studio software program. The proportions of maxillary to mandibular homonymous teeth and proportions between the adjacent teeth were calculated. Bilateral symmetry and the correlation between the esthetic and mesiodistal widths were both accounted for during the measurement procedures. RESULTS. The mean esthetic widths were 6.773 ± 0.518 mm and 4.329 ± 0.331 mm for maxillary and mandibular central incisors, respectively, 5.451 ± 0.487 mm and 5.008 ± 0.351 mm for maxillary and mandibular lateral incisors, respectively, and 3.340 ± 0.353 mm and 5.958 ± 0.415 mm for maxillary and mandibular canines, respectively. Except for the mandibular canines, no significant difference in esthetic width was found among homonymous teeth from the same jaw. A high linear correlation was found between the esthetic and mesiodistal widths of the same tooth, except for the maxillary canines. Esthetic width proportions among different tooth categories showed some regular patterns, which were similar to those of the mesiodistal width. CONCLUSION. Esthetic width is regularly distributed among the teeth in the Chinese population. This could provide an important reference for anterior dental restorations and dimension recovery in esthetic reconstruction of anterior teeth.

The purpose of this was to examine the distribution and the bond failure of the acidetched ceramometal retainer (Maryland Bridge). 126 subjects who treated by faculty and residents of Department of Prosthodontics, Seoul National University Hospital from Dec. 1982 to Dec. 1986 were selected for this study. From the foregoing study author obtained the following conclusions. 1. A total of 135 restorations were placed in the mouths of patients ranging in age from 11 to 70 years (Man 62, woman 64) 2. Most restorations were applied to replace anterior teeth. 3. It was found that of the total number of bridges constructed 59.3 percent were the three-unit type. 4. Replacing one tooth missing was the most frequent cases(74.1 percent). 5. Of the total number of cases, 10.4percent showed bond failure. 6. The bond failure, author suggest, be due to one or more of mis-fit of framework, occlusion, material in itself, faulty case selection and lack of technique.

The esthetic demands are growing in treatment of primary maxillary incisors as well as permanent ones. There is something dissatisfying about in the keen eyes of the pediatric dentists on their esthetic results of efforts because current tooth color system is created for the purpose of the application to the permanent incisors. In this study using the scientific color measurement device, I would like to introduce a color scheme for the primary maxillary incisors and suggest clinical tips for the better results of resin composite restorations.

A well-planned, precise occlusal adjustment of natural teeth has some distinct advantages over other forms of occlusal therapy. It should be emphasized, however, that an occlusal adjustment is an irreversible procedure and has definite contraindications in some mouths. Generally, the treatment methods for the patients that has open-bite will be following as below. : (1) Use of removable orthopedic repositioning appliance, (2) Orthodontics, (3) Full or partial reconstruction of the dentition, (4) Orthognathic surgical procedure, (5) Occlusal adjustment of the existing natural teeth, (6) Any combination of the above. Above all, the advantages of occlusal adjustment of natural teeth are : (1) the patient is more able to adapt to the changes in jaw position and posture; (2) the phonetic or speaking ability of the patient is not significantly changed and usually is improved; (3) the esthetics of the natural teeth is not altered and often is better; (4) the hygiene of the individual teeth is easily maintained; and (5) the functional usage of the teeth as cutting and chewing devices is markedly improved. The objective of an occlusal adjustment, as with any form of occlusal therapy, is to correct or remove the occlusal interferences, or premature contacts, on the occluding parts of the teeth which prevent a centric relation closure of the mandible. A systematic, disciplined approach can be followed in treatment, the objectives should be listed. They are : (1) Centric relation occlusion of the posterior teeth. (2) Proper "coupling" of the anterior teeth. (3) An acceptable disclusive angle of the anterior teeth in harmony with the condylar movement patterns. (4) Stability of the corrected occlusion. (5) Resolution of the related symptoms. For the patient with open-bite on anterior and posterior teeth, this case report shows the treatment methods in combination the fixed prosthesis with the selective cutting of the natural teeth. Occlusal adjustment is no longer an elective procedure but a mandatory one for patients requiring restorations and those in treatment for TMD dysfunctions or those whose dentitions show signs of occlusal trauma. Occlusal adjustment is essential for all who do not display the above lists.

The patient had bruxism and epilepsy tendency. Inadequate or unstable posterior support was identified due to severe anterior attrition and decreased occlusal vertical dimension. Prematurities of posterior occlusal and wear facets increased the function of anterior teeth, resulting in severe wear. Wear facets displayed sharply defined peripheries, which are matched on articulated diagnostic casts. Also the patient showed C III malocclusion tendency, and lost some facial contour with drooping corners on the mouth. In this case, the alteration of OVD (Occlusal Vertical Dimention) may provide a biologically compatible adjunct to the treatment such as dentofacial esthetics, improved visual proportion in facial heightand mechanical solutions to the force-management of the masticatory system. The patient requires extensive restorative treatment to regain appropriate function, esthetics and comfort. According to the report by Farhad Fays, the average vertical distance from the maxillary to the mandibular mucolabial reflection in the region of the central incisors is approximately 34mm. However, the vertical distance of this patient was found to be 32mm, which was necessary to add gauge 20-sheets to apply vertical dimension. A removable occlusal overlay splint, which restores OVD to the estimated optimalposition, is the general first trial. The patient was observed periodically for 6 weeks, while appropriate adjustments were made vertical dimension to function. When patient felt comfortable with the splint, the teeth were prepared, and provisional restorations are placed for 3 months. The provisional restoration was fabricated by a diagnostic wax-up. When the patient felt comfortable with the provisional restoration, the final restoration mimics OVD, function, and esthetics that have been developed in the treatment restorations. Restoration of the extremely worn dentition presents a substantial challenge to thedentists. Therefore, careful evaluation of the etiology, history, and factors associated with occlusal vertical dimension should be preceded prior to the appropriate treatment planning.

청소년기 외상으로 인한 상악 전치부의 복잡 치관 파절은 기능적, 심미적 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 치수 노출을 동반한 치관 파절은 남아있는 치질의 양에 따라 다양한 수복 방법을 고려할 수 있다. 직접 레진 수복은 가장 일차적으로 고려되는 전통적이고 효과적인 방법이나 시간이 지남에 따라 변색되고 깨질 가능성이 높다. 전장관 수복은 성장기의 치아 이동으로 변연 부조화에 의한 재수복 가능성이 높으며 광범위한 치관 파절 시 주로 시행하는 포스트 수복은 치근 천공 및 치근 파절의 위험성을 증가시킨다. 그러나 Endocrown은 치수강 공간으로부터 유지력을 얻을 수 있는 일체형 구조로 생체역학적 측면에서 효과적인 재건이 가능하고 기능과 심미성의 회복에 유리한 이점을 제공한다. 따라서 Endocrown은 청소년기 외상으로 인한 복잡 치관 파절의 수복 방법으로 고려할 수 있다.

법랑질 형성 부전증은 유전적인 결함으로 인해 구조적으로 약한 법랑질이 형성되는 질환이다. 이들 환자들은 이른 나이부터 진행되는 법랑질 마모에 의한 시린 증상과 비심미적인 치아를 주소로 치과에 내원하게 되며, 성장기 이후에는 전악 보철 수복을 통해 치아의 기능성과 심미성을 회복해 주게 된다. 법랑질 형성 부전증 환자에서 보여지는 전치부 개방 교합은, 구치의 교합면 마모 및 보상성 맹출에 의한 수직적 수복 공간 문제와 결부되어 보철 치료를 어렵게 하는 요인이 된다. 따라서 전치 길이의 결정 및 교합 고경의 거상 여부, 전방유도의 설정은 신중히 결정되어야 한다. 근래에는 Computer aided design-computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) 기술을 이용하여 진단 및 최종 수복으로의 이행이 용이해 졌다. 본 증례에서는 전치부 개방교합을 가지고 있는 법랑질 형성 부전증 환자에서, CAD/CAM을 이용한 전악 수복을 시행한 후, 양호한 경과를 보이고 있기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

성공적인 전치부 심미 보철물이라면 다음의 몇가지 조건들이 충족되어야 한다고 생각한다. 환자의 안모와 조화, 치아와 치주 조직간의 조화, 주변 치아들과의 연속성등이 바로 그것이다. 하지만 보철물을 제작하는 기공과정에서는 치과 기공사가 환자를 직접 만나지 않고 모델 상에서 작업을 하기 때문에 제한된 정보 내에서 자신의 지식과 기술에 의존하여 보철물을 제작할 수 밖에 없다. 이 글에서는 전치부 심미보철 모델에서 제작할 때 필자가 치과기공사로서 생각하고 있는 생물학적 기준과 치주환경을 고려한 보철물 형태와 이를 부여하는 방법들을 증례를 통해 논해 보기로 한다.
