As the demand for natural and beautiful smiles increases, the demand for anterior aesthetic treatment is increasing. Orthodontic treatment is often necessary for esthetic, healthy and natural treatment outcome. Particularly, in the case of middle-aged patients, minor tooth movement limited to anterior teeth is more effective than comprehensive orthodontic treatment which requires a long-term treatment period. Clinician who is in charge of aesthetic dentistry should have the ability to select a case that can be treated with partial orthodontic treatment and to determine the most effective treatment method. This article provides decision flowchart for case selection and choosing the best treatment modality for anterior teeth alignment.

장애인의 교정 치료는 환자에 따라 치료 목표와 방법이 비장애인의 교정 치료와 달라질 수 있다. 교정 치료를 시작하기 전에 환자의 교정 치료의 한계에 대한 보호자와의 충분한 의사소통이 먼저 이루어져야 하고, 교정 치료는 환자가 견딜 수 있으면서 도움이 되는 방향으로 시행되어야 한다. 또한 교정치료 시 보호자들에게 구강위생관리의 중요성을 항상 강조하고 집에서의 구강 위생 관리를 위한 교육을 반드시 시행해야 한다.

This article describes esthetic improvement in a patient with a missing maxillary left central incisor. Space analysis of the anterior dentition showed that minor tooth rearrangement was needed. Optimal space distribution for restorations was attained by orthodontic treatment. Through transforming tooth shape with porcelain laminate veneers, the maxillary left lateral incisor was transformed into central incisor and the maxillary left canine into a lateral incisor. The maxillary right central incisor was also restored for esthetic improvement. In a case of changing a tooth shape with porcelain laminate veneers, pre-treatment evaluation, space analysis and diagnostic wax-up are important factors.

Closure of interdental spaces using proximal build-ups with resin composite is considered to be practical and conservative. However, a comprehensive approach combining two or more treatment modalities may be needed to improve esthetics. This case report describes the management of a patient with multiple diastemas, a peg-shaped lateral incisor and midline deviation in the maxillary anterior area. Direct resin bonding along with orthodontic movement of teeth allows space closure and midline correction, consequently, creating a better esthetic result.

Occlusal disease is comparable to periodontitis in that it is generally not reversible. Occlusal disease, however, like periodontitis, often maintainable. It does itself to treatment and when restorative dentistry is utilized it becomes, in that sense, reversible. Moreover, a systematized and integrated approach will lead to a prognosis that is favorable and predictable. This approach facilitates development of optimum oral function, comfort, and esthetics, resulting in a satisfied patient. Such a systematized approach consists of four logical phase : (1) patient evaluation, (2) comprehensive analysis and treatment planning, (3) integrated and systematic reconstruction, and (4) postoperative maintenance. An integrated treatment plan is first developed on one set of diagnostic casts, properly mounted on a semiadjustable articulator using jaw relationship records. This is accomplished by using wax to make reconstructive modifications to the casts. These modified casts become the blueprint for planned occlusal changes and the fabrication of provisional restorations. The treatment goals are : (1) comfortably functioning temporomandibular joints and stomatognathic musculature, (2) adherence to the basic principle of occlusion advocated by Schuyler, (3) anterior guidance that is in harmony with the envelope of function, (4) restorations that will not violate the patient's neutral zone. This report shows the treatment procedures for a patient whose mandibular position has been altered due to posterior bite collapse. Migration of the maxillary anterior teeth had occurred, and the posterior occlusal contacts showed pathologic interference. Precise diagnosis using mounted casts was executed and prosthodontic reconstruction by the aid of an unconventional orthodontic correction on maxillary flaring was planned. An unconventional orthodontic correction can be accomplished by using preexisting natural teeth, which can be modified for use in active tooth movement or splinted together for orthodontic anchorage. This technique has an advantage over conventional fixed appliance orthodontic therapy because it can accomplish tooth movement concurrently with restorative and periodontal therapy. On occasion, minor tooth movement can be necessary to achieve the optimum occlusal scheme, crown form, and tooth position for the forces of occlusion to be displaced down the long axis of the periodontally compromised teeth. Once the occlusion, periodontal health, and crown contours for the provisional splinted restoration are acceptable, the final splinted restoration can be similarly fabricated, and it becomes an excellent orthodontic retainer.

매복된 하악 제2대구치의 임상적 증상은 제3대구치의 매복 상황과 유사하나 발치가 주된 치료법인 제3대구치와 달리 저작기능의 회복, 대칭적인 안면 성장, 치열궁의 대칭성 유지, 안정된 교합관계 회복등을 위하여 가능한 직립하여야 한다는 점에서 치료 방법이 다르다. 매복 하악 제2대구치의 직립 치료시 치질의 노출 정도, 직립에 방해되는 제3대구치의 존재여부, 제2대구치의 예후, 대합치의 정출여부 등에 따라 치료 전략이 달라야 하며, 이러한 전략에 따라 사용하는 장치와 고정원의 종류도 결정된다. 심미적 개선은 기대하기 어렵지만, 저작기능을 회복하고 치아우식증, 치주질환, 악관절 장애등 여러 문제를 예방할 수 있는 하악 제2대구치 직립은 기능회복과 질환의 예방이라는 관점에서 중요한 치료이다.

치주질환으로 손상된 치간유두의 재생은 아주 도전적인 과제이다. 지금까지 많은 치과의사들이 훌륭한 수술적인 방법을 고안하여 소개하였다. 지금까지 소개된 술식들을 순서대로 비교해보고 장단점을 비교해 치간유두를 재생을 위한 최적의 방법을 고안해보았다. 치주수술만으로 해결하기 어려운 좁은 치간유두 사이의 공간을 부분교정치료를 통하여 공간을 일시적으로 만들어 주는 것이 치은이식을 위해 큰 도움이 되었다. 치은이식은 마이크로 블레이드를 이용하여 박리를 시행하고 치은경계부에서 떨어진 수직절개를 하나만 시행해 여기를 통해 추가적인 박리와 이식편을 넣어서 치은이식을 시행하였다. 이렇게 교정치료를 동반하여 좁은 치간유두 사이의 폭을 벌려서 치은이식이 더 용이한 상태로 만들어 치은이식을 진행하고, 치은이 성숙한 뒤 교정력으로 다시 치아사이를 모아주는 술식(ELSA technique)을 통해 치간유두 재생을 할 수 있었다.

Objective: To evaluate the available evidence regarding the clinical effectiveness of different types of anchorage devices. Methods: A comprehensive literature search of different electronic databases was conducted for systematic reviews investigating different anchorage methods published up to April 15, 2021. Any ongoing systematic reviews were searched using PROSPERO, and a grey literature search was undertaken using Google Scholar and OpenGrey. No language restriction was applied. Screening, quality assessment, and data extraction were performed independently by two authors. Information was categorized and narratively synthesized for the key findings from moderate- and high-quality reviews. Results: Fourteen systematic reviews were included (11 were of moderate/high quality). Skeletal anchorage with miniscrews was associated with less anchorage loss (and sometimes with anchorage gain). Similarly, skeletal anchorage was more effective in retracting anterior teeth and intruding incisors and molars, resulting in minor vertical skeletal changes and improvements in the soft tissue profile. However, insufficient evidence was obtained for the preference of any anchorage method in terms of the duration of treatment, number of appointments, quality of treatment, patient perception, or adverse effects. The effectiveness of skeletal anchorage can be enhanced when: directly loaded, used in the mandible rather than the maxilla, used buccally rather than palatally, using dual rather than single miniscrews, used for en-masse retraction, and in adults. Conclusions: The level of evidence regarding anchorage effectiveness is moderate. Nevertheless, compared to conventional anchorage, skeletal anchorage can be used with more anchorage preservation. Further high-quality randomized clinical trials are required to confirm these findings.

Orthodontic treatment in conjunction with second-molar extraction has been a controversial issue among orthodontists over many decades. The aim of this study was to investigate the treatment effects of upper second molar extraction cases. The sample included 19 upper second molar extraction orthodontic cases(ten Angle's Class I's and nine Class II's, average age=13Y 6M) cared at Kyung-Hee University Department of Orthodontics. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken before and immediately after treatment. Seventy-nine points were digitized on each cephalogram and 38 cephalometric parameters were computed comprising 22 angular measurements, 13 linear measurements, and 3 facial proportions. The data obtained from each malocclusion group were analyzed by paired t-test. The statistical results disclosed that there was no significant change in skeletal pattern after treatment except for that accountable by growth while there was statistically significant change in dentoalveolar and soft tissue patterns. There were no significant changes in Bjork sum, posterior facial height /anterior facial height and lower anterior facial height /anterior facial height. No significant changes in anteroposterior position of maxilla and palatal plane were manifested. Although facial axis and lower facial height was slightly increased and the mandible was rotated backward and downward, there was no remarkable change in the mandibular plane. There were statistically significant changes in distal movement of upper first molar, molar key correction and overjet reduction while there was no change in the occlusal plane. The upper lip was slightly retracted simultaneously with slight increase in nasolabial angle. These results signify that distalization of upper dentition with the second molar extraction does change occlusal relationship without gross modifications in the craniofacial skeletal configurationson. Henceforth the second molar extracted would be recommended to treat severe anterior crowding and protrusion with minor skeletal discrepancy.
