It was clinically important to substitute the physiologic centric relation to the therapeutic position of the patients who needed the oral rehabilitation or occlusal treatment. There were several methods for recording the centric relation. One of the known methods was to use the gothic arch tracer. However the existing intraoral device was difficult to adjust the three dimensional angulation of the recording plate and recording stylus depending on the hinge movement arch of the individual. The purpose of this study was to develop new intraoral tracer which had adjustable stylus within hinge movement arch for the record of centric relation and to evaluate the clinical application of this device. The results were as follow; 1. A stylus of new developed intraoral tracer was so adjustable that the recording of mandibular positions could be reproducible within the hinge movement arc. 2. A record plate of new developed intraoral tracer was so adjustable to parallel with the occlusal plane that lateral recording of mandibular position was able to obtain stably. This study showed that new developed intraoral tracer allowed the determination of the treatment position which can be used in the full mouth rehabilitation and occlusal treatments.

Cone Beam CT 데이터를 3차원 컴퓨터 프로그램을 이용하여 기존의 파노라마 영상과 재구성된 파노라마 영상을 재현해서 악궁형태에 따른 치아의 왜곡을 분석하고자 하였다. Cone Beam CT의 횡단면 영상과 재구성 파노라마에서 측정된 치아의 직경은 전치부에서 구치부로 갈수록 큰 변화없이 일치되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 하지만 파노라마는 전치부에서 약간의 왜곡이 보이다가 구치부로 갈수록 왜곡이 더 심한 것을 알 수 있었다. 환자 개개인의 악궁에 맞게 재구성된 파노라마가 일반적으로 사용되는 파노라마 촬영보다 왜곡이 더 감소한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 파노라마는 전치부에서 구치부로 갈수록 왜곡이 더 심해지는 것을 알 수 있었는데, 이 또한 재구성된 파노라마 영상에서는 왜곡이 감소한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

무치악 환자에서 기능적으로 우수하고 심미적으로 만족스러운 의치 제작을 위해서는 상, 하악 교합관계, 즉 교합수직 고경과 중심위를 정확하게 결정해야 한다. 수직관계를 결정할 때에는 근육, 상, 하악 치열궁간 거리와 상, 하악 치조제의 평행도 등 여러 요소들이 고려되어야 한다. 또한, 중심위는 모든 하악 운동이 시작되는 재현 가능한 위치로서 기록하는 과정 역시 의치 제작에 매우 중요하다. 만일 이러한 악간관계 채득시 오차가 생기면 결과적으로 제작한 의치가 불편하게 된다. Gothic arch tracer와 같은 트레이싱을 이용하는 방법은 술자가 쉽게 교합수직고경과 중심위를 찾아내고 기록할 수 있는 좋은 방법으로 안정적인 교합수직고경에서 하악의 운동위를 얻기에 유리하다.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a hybrid arch bar (hAB) with the conventional Erich arch bar (EAB) for the management of jaw fractures, focusing on their use for temporary fixation in patients undergoing open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Materials and Methods: Patients presenting with maxillary and mandibular fractures at our institution were included in this prospective, comparative study. Placement time and ease of occlusal reproducibility were recorded intraoperatively for Group A (hAB patients) and Group B (EAB patients). The primary outcome was comparison of the postoperative stability of the two arch bars. Postoperative measurements also included mucosal overgrowth, screw loosening or wire retightening, and replacement rates. The data were tabulated and computed with a P<0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: The study included 41 patients. A statistically significant difference was observed in postoperative stability scores (3) between Group A and Group B (85.0% vs 9.5%, P=0.001). The mean placement time in Group A (23.3 minutes) significantly differed from that in Group B (86.4 minutes) (P<0.001). The ease of intraoperative occlusion was not different between the two groups (P=0.413). Mucosal overgrowth was observed in 75.0% of patients (15 of 20) in Group A. Conclusion: The hAB was superior to EAB in clinical efficiency, maxillomandibular fixation time reduction, stability, versatility, and safety. Despite temporary mucosal overgrowth, the benefits of hAB outweigh the disadvantages. The choice between hAB and EAB should be based on specific clinical requirements.

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.

Typical surgical methods for the treatment of mandibular fractures include intermaxillary-fixation (IMF) for obtaining temporary intraoperative occlusion. Traditionally IMF has been achieved with arch-bars or interdental eyelet wiring. However, these techniques are time-consuming procedures, can produce periodontal damage, and are not well tolerated by the patient even under local anesthesia. Moreover, daily maintenance of oral hygiene is difficult for patients with an arch bar. Recently, intermaxillary fixation using intraoral skeletal anchorage screws (SAS) has been introduced for the treatment of mandibular fractures. This method solves the problems above, but they have the potential for tooth damage, screw fractures and intraoperative occlusal instability. In this study, patients with mandiblular fractures were divided into three groups. Group 1 was treated by IMF using archbars(both maxilla and mandible), Group 2 was treated with SAS(maxilla) and arch-bar (mandible), Group 3 was treated with SAS(both maxilla and mandible). The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the different IMF methods on periodontal tissue health and intraoperative occlusal rehabilitation about each groups, and to discuss the most favorable IMF method.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors which might be related to mandibular third molar eruption and to predict the possibility of whether or not it will be erupted. The material of this study was lateral cephalometric radiograms, pantomograms and dental casts obtained from 70 patients (19 males, 51 females) ranging in age from 18.0 to 32.1 years. They were devided into erupted group and impacted group of mandibular third molars. For the comparison of each group, a total of 20 measurement items were employed and the data were analyzed by means of computer statistical method. As a result of this study, the following conclusion can be made; 1. The longer mandibular body length and narrower mandibular ramus width, the higher eruption tendency of the lower third molar, but the degree of genial angle was not related to mandibular third molar eruption. 2. The lower percentage of posterior mandibular body height to anterior mandibular body height, the higher eruption tendency of the lower third molar. 3. The total tooth size, including the lower second molar, appeared to be larger in the impacted group than in the erupted group of the lower third molar. 4. The arch length discrepancy of the impacted group was more severe in contrast with the erupted group of the lower third molar.
