임시 보철물의 적절한 관리는 보철의 성공에 있어서 중요한 요소이다. 상악 전치 결손부 임시 보철물은 장경간의 결손부가 존재하거나, 타원형의 악궁을 가진 환자에서 자주 탈락하게 된다. 이는 상악 전치부가 구치부에 비해서 수평적인 힘에 더 많이 노출되며, 부가적으로 전방 캔틸레버 효과가 임시 보철물의 유지를 저해하고, 상악 전치부 임시 보철물은 하악의 기능 운동시 적절한 전방 유도를 제공하여야 하기 때문이다. 또한 임시 보철물의 최대 감합위에서 교합접촉은 지점선의 반대편에 위치하게 되어 그 자체로 임시 보철물의 탈락을 야기한다. 본 증례에서는 임시 임플란트를 이용하여 상악 전치부 보철물에 대한 전술한 유해 작용을 피할 수 있었고, 발치 후 치유기간 동안 환자에게 편안함과 만족감을 부여하였으므로 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Objectives: Anterior maxillary sinus wall fractures are common in all types of maxillofacial trauma. They can result in various complications, including injury to the surrounding nerves. Owing to its anatomy, trauma to the maxillary antrum can result in injury to the middle superior alveolar nerve (MSAN) and the anterior superior alveolar nerve (ASAN). The purpose of this study is to evaluate neurosensory deficits (NSD) present in maxillary gingiva, incisors, and premolars after injury to the anterior wall of the maxillary antrum. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was conducted among 39 patients sustaining unilateral fractures of the anterior maxillary sinus wall. Clinical neurosensory tests including two-point discrimination and fine touch discrimination were performed to classify the extent of nerve injuries as mild, moderate, severe, or anesthetic. Additional temperature discrimination and pulpal sensibility tests (electric pulp testing and cold testing) were carried out. A comparison of radiographic fracture patterns and severity of nerve injury was done. Testing was carried out immediately after trauma and at 2-month follow-up. Results: More than half of the patients assessed in the study group presented with NSD of the teeth and gingiva after trauma. The incidence of deficits varied with the type of test used to measure them. Most frequently, patients presented with both loss of two point as well as fine touch discrimination thresholds. Severe nerve injuries were associated with loss of temperature discrimination clinically and displaced fractures radiographically. There was no significant relationship between the recovery of pulpal and gingival sensation. The patterns of injury and recovery in ASAN and MSAN were similar. Conclusion: NSD after trauma to the maxillary antrum is relatively common. Clinical loss of temperature discrimination and radiographic signs of fracture lines passing through the canalis sinuosus are predictors of persistent and severe oral NSD.

Objective: To compare crown-root angulations of the permanent maxillary anterior teeth in skeletal Class I, Class II, and Class III Korean malocclusion patients using cone-bean computed tomography (CBCT) images. Methods: Sixty CBCT images were collected from orthodontic patients archive based on skeletal Class I (0˚< A point-nasion-B point angle [ANB] < 4˚), Class II (ANB ≥ 4˚), and Class III (ANB ≤ 0˚) to have 20 samples in each group. Mesiodistal crown-root angulation (MDCRA) and labiolingual crown-root angulation (LLCRA) were evaluated after orientation of images. Crown-root angulations were compared among Class I, Class II, and Class III groups and among the maxillary anterior teeth in each group. Results: LLCRAs of the maxillary central incisor and the lateral incisor were significantly lower in Class III group than those in Class I group. However, those of the canine showed no significant differences among groups. MDCRAs of the maxillary anterior teeth did not significantly differ among groups either. Conclusions: Our results suggest that skeletal Class III malocclusion might affect LLCRA of the maxillary incisors, especially the central incisor.

Purpose: Pathologic tooth migration (PTM) commonly occurs in the anterior region and is associated with periodontal disease. The treatment of PTM of anterior teeth can be complex and time consuming, and a multidisciplinary approach is often required. Materials and Methods: The patient was a 38-year-old woman with a chief complaint of saving and realigning her elongated maxillary left central incisor. This paper describes the successful combined periodontal regenerative (guided tissue regeneration) and prosthetic treatment and a 2-year follow-up of maxillary central incisor with pathologic tooth migration, deep intrabony defect, and poor prognosis. Results: The right maxillary central incisor was restored by laminate veneer and the left by all-ceramic crown. The patient had no pain and discomfort and was satisfied with the outcomes of her treatment for 2 years. She has maintained her recall program at the Department of Periodontology at 3 months interval. Conclusion: The key step in the successful treatment of PTM in anterior region is to obtain a high level of cooperation from the patient. Maintenance of the treatment result of PTM is dependent on the continuous preservation of periodontal health.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the static (SFF) and kinetic frictional forces (KFF) in sliding mechanics of hybrid bracket systems that involve placing a conventional bracket (CB) or active self-ligating bracket (ASLB) on the maxillary anterior teeth (MXAT) and a passive SLB (PSLB) on the maxillary posterior teeth (MXPT). Methods: The samples consisted of two thoroughbred types (group 1, anterior-CB + posterior-CB; group 2, anterior-ASLB + posterior-ASLB) and four hybrid types (group 3, anterior-CB + posterior-PSLB-type 1; group 4, anterior-CB + posterior-PSLB-type 2; group 5, anterior-ASLB + posterior-PSLB-type 1; group 6, anterior-ASLB + posterior-PSLB-type 2) (n = 13 per group). After maxillary dentition alignment and maxillary first premolars removal in the stereolithographically-made typodont system, a $0.019{\times}0.025$-inch stainless steel wire was drawn through the right quadrant of the maxillary arch at 0.5 mm/min for 5 min. The SFF and KFF were measured with a mechanical testing machine and statistical analyses were performed. Results: Four different categories of SFF and KFF were observed among all groups (all p < 0.001). Group 1 demonstrated the highest SFF and KFF; groups 4 and 3 were second and third highest, respectively. The fourth category included groups 2, 5, and 6. Placing PSLBs on the MXPT resulted in significant SFF and KFF reductions in cases with CBs on the MXAT, but not in cases with ASLBs on the MXAT. Conclusions: These data might aid in the development of a hybrid bracket system that enables low-friction sliding of an archwire through the MXPT.

Objective: This study aimed to propose clinical guidelines for placing miniscrew implants using the results obtained from 3-dimensional analysis of maxillary anterior interdental alveolar bone by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: By using CBCT data from 52 adult patients (17 men and 35 women; mean age, 27.9 years), alveolar bone were measured in 3 regions: between the maxillary central incisors (U1-U1), between the maxillary central incisor and maxillary lateral incisor (U1-U2), and between the maxillary lateral incisor and the canine (U2-U3). Cortical bone thickness, labio-palatal thickness, and interdental root distance were measured at 4 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm apical to the interdental cementoenamel junction (ICEJ). Results: The cortical bone thickness significantly increased from the U1-U1 region to the U2-U3 region (p < 0.05). The labio-palatal thickness was significantly less in the U1-U1 region (p < 0.05), and the interdental root distance was significantly less in the U1-U2 region (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the interdental root regions U2-U3 and U1-U1 are the best sites for placing miniscrew implants into maxillary anterior alveolar bone.

Le Fort 1 osteotomy or maxillary advancement with distraction osteogenesis (DO) is main treatment strategy for cleft palate patients with maxillary hypoplasia. Maxillary DO allows greater maxillary advancement within physiological limit than Le Fort 1 osteotomy. Moreover, it is better for velopharyngeal function. However, there is a greater tendency for an increase in nasal sound when maxilla is advanced excessively. Therefore, the advancement of anterior maxillary segment using DO has been utilized. It offers advantages such as an increase in the length of the palate, a prevention of the change in palatopharyngeal depth, and a preservation of the velopharyngeal function. Moreover, it will obliterate the necessity of bone graft, and it prevents the occurrence of oronasal or oroantral fistula. Finally, it stimulates the regeneration of the soft and hard tissue of alveolus, and subsequently makes possible to place implant.

The author studied maximum clenching EMG activities of temporalis anterior and masseter muscle during canine guidance and centric occlusion. It was performed before and after anesthesia of maxillary and mandibular canines. The 22 normal subjects (15 males and 7 females) who had healthy maxillary and mandibular canines were selected. Their occlusal contact scheme was canine guidance during movement and they did not have temporomandibular disorder. The results were as follows : 1. The maximum clenching EMG activities of temporalis anterior and masseter muscle during guidance were less than those during centric occlusion. 2. After left maxillary and mandibular canines were anesthetized with 2% lidocanine with 1:100,000 epinephrine, the maximum clenching EMG acivities of temporalis anterior and masseter muscle during left canine guidance were greater than those before anesthesia of left maxillary and mandibular canines(p<0.01) 3. The maximum clenching EMG activities of temporalis anterior and masseter muscle during right guidance were not significantly different between before and after anesthesia of left maxillary and mandibular canines(p>0.05).
