이 연구는 3차원 유한요소법을 이용하여 상악 6전치부에 피질골 절단술을 시행한 경우와 시행하지 않은 경우에서 상악 6전치부를 하나의 단위로 하여 다양한 후방견인력을 가하였을 때 상악 6전치의 초기 치아이동을 통하여 저항중심의 수직적 위치를 계측, 비교하고 저항중심의 변화양상을 관찰하며, 힘의 크기변화에 따른 저항중심의 위치변화양상을 분석하기 위하여 시행되었다. 상악 6전치와 치주인대 및 치조골의 3차원 유한요소모델을 제작한 후, 상악 6전치부에 부착된 설측장치와 이 장치가 부착된 치아군을 한 개의 견고한 연결체로 가정하였다. 유한요소모델에서 사용된 전체요소의 수는 14,584개, 전체 절점의 수는 17,292 개였고, 힘 체계의 분석을 위해 미국 Swanson Analysis System사의 범용 유한요소 프로그램 인 ANSYS(Ver. 5.5A)를 사용하였다. 저항중심은 힘이 가해질 때 치아가 평행 이동될 수 있는 힘의 적용부위라 정의하고, 설측 장치에서 연장된 Extension arm의 7개의 Level에 편측당 각각 200 gm, 250 gm, 300 gm, 350 gm의 설측 후방견인력을 가하였을 때 치아의 절단연과 치근첨에서의 변위를 읽어 평행이동이 일어나는 위치를 복원법으로 계산하여 저항중심의 위치를 계측, 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 상악 6전치부의 초기치아이동에서 저항중심의 수직적 위치는 Level 4와 Level 5사이, 즉 치경부에서 치근단 쪽으로 6.76 mm, $44.32\%$ 떨어진 거리에 위치하였다. 2. 피질골 절단술 시행후, 상악 6전치부의 후방 견인시 저항중심의 수직적위치는 Level 4와 Level 5사이, 즉 치경부에서 치근단 쪽으로 7.09 mm, $46.38\%$ 떨어진 거리에 위치하였다. 3. 후방견인력의 크기가 커짐에 따라 치아의 변위량은 커졌으나, 피질골 절단술 시행 유무에 관계없이 후방견인력의 크기변화는 저항중심의 수직적 위치에 별다른 영향을 미치지 않았다. 4. 피질골 절단술 시행시에 저항 중심의 수직적 위치는 치근단 쪽으로 이동하였고, 그 변위량은 피질골 절단술 시행 시가 컸다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 상악 6전치부 후방견인시 저항중심의 수직적 위치는 치경부에서 치근단 쪽으로 치근길이의 $44.32\%$ 떨어진 거리에 위치하였고, 피질골 절단술 시행시에 저항중심의 수직적 위치는 치경부에서 치근단 쪽으로 치근 길이의 $46.38\%$ 떨어진 거리에 위치하여 피질골 절단술 시행하지 않은 경우보다 치근단 쪽으로 이동되었으며, 후방견인력의 크기 변화에 따라 저항 중심의 수직적 위치는 변하지 않았다.

The aim of this case report was to describe an innovative orthodontic treatment method that combined surgical and orthodontic techniques. The novel method was used to achieve a positive result in a case of moderate crowding by employing a computer-guided piezocision procedure followed by the use of clear aligners. A 23-year-old woman had a malocclusion with moderate crowding. Her periodontal indices, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and treatment time were evaluated. The treatment included interproximal corticotomy cuts extending through the entire thickness of the cortical layer, without a full-thickness flap reflection. This was achieved with a three-dimensionally printed surgical guide using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing. Orthodontic force was applied to the teeth immediately after surgery by using clear appliances for better control of tooth movement. The total treatment time was 8 months. The periodontal indices improved after crowding correction, but the oral health impact profile showed a slight deterioration of OHRQoL during the 3 days following surgery. At the 2-year retention follow-up, the stability of treatment was excellent. The reduction in surgical time and patient discomfort, increased periodontal safety and patient acceptability, and accurate control of orthodontic movement without the risk of losing anchorage may encourage the use of this combined technique in appropriate cases.

The purpose of this study is to observe histopathologic changes in the bilateral craniomandibular joints after allowing 6 weeks of consolidation by varying the amount of distraction in rabbit mandible. Eight rabbits weighing about 2 to 3 kg were used. After corticotomy was performed on the left mandibular body between the first premolar and the second premolar region, a unilateral fixation device was placed. Then, a 7-day period was allowed without distraction of the device. The mandible was lengthened 0.5 mm/day. Corticotomy and lengthening of mandible were not performed in control group. After the completion of the lengthening process, a 6-week-consolidation period was allowed. Then, the rabbits were sacrificed, and histologic examination of the craniomandibular joints was performed. Proliferative changes were observed in the craniomandibular joints in all groups. With the increasing amount of distraction, hypertrophy of the cartilage layer became more severe, bone formed was dense and enchondral ossification was clearly shown in subchondral bone. Hypertrophy of the cartilage layer was also seen in the non-distracted side as the distracted side in the experimental group. These results indicate that when physical force is applied constantly to joints, the proliferation of articular cartilage and bone formation are present. When more than 6 weeks of consolidation period is allowed at the time of performing distraction for more than 5 mm, articular changes, especially, in the contralateral side should also be noted.

Purpose: The goal of this research is to find the role of collagen membrane, which can reduce physical damage, as a scaffold for possible alternative to the corticotomy which causes Regional Acceleratory Phenomenon (RAP). Materials and Methods: The experiments were carried out on 12 New Zealand white rabbits, approximately 3.5 kg in bodyweight. We made an incision on the skin of the mandibular border and applied 37% phosphoric acid and collagen membrane to the mandibular bone surface of the first group (experimental group), and only phosphoric acid to the second group (control group). After 3 days, 1 week, and 2 weeks, 4 rabbits each were sacrificed and specimens were obtained. Each specimen was stained by H&E and Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), and histological changes were observed by light microscope. Results: The demineralization of the experimental group was weak compared to the control group. It also showed a gradual increase of demineralization (after 3 days, 1 week, and 2 weeks) and the control group showed more extensive demineralization than the experimental group. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the amount of demineralization as a result of using phosphoric acid, and as time went by, demineralization increased. The absorbable collagen membrane was used as a scaffold to increase bone demineralization effect and prevent dispersion to adjacent tissues, but rather the amount of bone demineralization decreased. Therefore, the role of collagen membrane as a scaffold for RAP was weak.

Orthodontic closure of old, edentulous spaces in the mandibular posterior region is a major challenge. In this report, we describe a method of orthodontic closure of edentulous spaces in the mandibular posterior region accelerated by piezoelectric decortication and alveolar ridge expansion. Combined piezosurgical and orthodontic treatments were used to close 14- and 15-mm-wide spaces in the mandibular left and right posterior areas, respectively, of a female patient, aged 18 years and 9 months, diagnosed with skeletal Class III malocclusion, hypodontia, and polydiastemas. After the piezoelectric decortication, segmental and full-arch mechanics were applied in the orthodontic phase. Despite some extent of root resorption and anchorage loss, the edentulous spaces were closed, and adequate function and esthetics were regained without further restorative treatment. Alveolar ridge expansion-assisted orthodontic space closure seems to be an effective and relatively less-invasive treatment alternative for edentulous spaces in the mandibular posterior region.

Orthodontic tooth movement is a unique process which tooth, solid material is moving into hard tissue, bone. Orthodontic force in general provides the strain to the PDL and alveolar bone, which in turn generates the interstitial fluid flow(in detail, fluid flow in PDL and canaliculi). As a results of matrix strain, periodontal ligament cells and bone cells are deformed, releasing variety of cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. These molecules lead to the orthodontic tooth movement(OTM). In these inflammation and tissue remodeling sites, all of the cells could closely communicate with one another, flowing the information for tissue remodeling. To accelerate the rate of OTM in future, local injection of single growth factor(GF) or a combination of multiple GFs in the periodontal tissues might intervene to stimulate the rate of OTM. Corticotomy is effective and safe to accelerate OTM.

A 35 years old woman presented with an acute meningeal syndrome following an intra ventricular haemorrhage without subarachnoid haemorrhage. The angiography demonstrated a 6 mm partially thrombosed saccular aneurysm at the plexal point of the right anterior choroidal artery (AChoA). It was surgically approached inside the ventricle through a trans-temporal corticotomy. The aneurysm was excised after distal exclusion of the feeding artery under motor-evoked potentials monitoring. Of the 19 cases of distal AChoA aneurysm neurosurgical treatment, this is the only one performed under electrophysiology monitoring, a simple and safe method to detect and prevent motor tract ischemia. We discuss this rare case, along with a comprehensible review of the literature of the previous surgical cases of distal AChoA aneurysms.

Aesthetic facial profile is mainly determined by cultural background. In some countries, prominent mandibular angle is considered as characteristics, whereas it is considered as unattractive in East Asian countries. Therefore, reduction surgery for prominent mandibular angle is one of the popular cosmetic surgery in theses countries. The anatomical component of the mandibular angle consists of masseter muscle and the angular part of the mandibular ramus. Thus, the mandibular angle reduction can be performed by myotomy or bone reduction or both.

Ankle fractures with syndesmotic injuries often require fixation, where metal screw fixation is a popular method. However, as the patient begins weight-bearing, most syndesmotic screws tend to loosen or break, and removal of such screws has been challenging for the surgeons, as the available techniques require predrilling or trephination and are associated with risks of bone damage. This study presents a case with technical tip for the removal of broken tricortical-fixed non-cannulated syndesmotic screws. It implements the generation of a small cortical window in the medial distal tibia and the use of pliers to engage the screw tip and remove through the medial side. The technique presented in the current study overcomes these limitations and facilitates minimal bone damage and reduced exposure to radiation.

상악 전치부 후방 견인 시의 이동 양상 및 응력 분포를 건조 두개골을 전산화 단층 촬영에 의해 3차원 영상화한 유한 요소 모델 상에서 알아보고자 하였다. 피질골 절단술의 시행 여부와 고정원, 힘의 작용점을 각기 달리 설정하여 8개의 실험군을 구성하여 비교하였다. 통상적인 T-loop을 이용하여 공간폐쇄를 하는 경우 전치부는 후하방으로 경사이동 하였으며, 구치부에서도 약간 전방 이동하였다. 피질골 절단술을 동반하여 전치부를 견인한 경우, 전치부 골편에서의 응력 분포가 전반적으로 넓게 분포되었으며, 전치부 경사의 정도가 적은 반면에 변위량은 훨씬 더 많았다. 협측에서의 견인 시 상악 협측에 식립된 미니 임플랜트와 견치 Power arm간에 견인력을 가한 경우가 미니 임플랜트로 고정원이 강화된 제2소구치와 견치 브라켓 간에 견인력을 가한 경우보다 전치부의 후하방 경사 정도가 적었다. 구개측에서 Powerarm에 대한 견인 시 정중구개봉합 부위에 식립한 미니 임플랜트로부터 견인력을 가한 경우가 상악 제1, 2대구치 간 구개면에 식립된 미니 임플랜트로부터 견인력을 가한 경우보다 전치부의 후하방 경사 정도가 컸다. 이러한 결과로써 치아이동 시 피질골 절단술의 효과와 저항중심에 대한 교정력 벡터 조정의 의미를 확인할 수 있었다.
