Guiding a tooth along an arch wire results in a counteracting frictional force among arch wires, bracket and ligature. This frictional forces should be eliminated or minimized when orthodontic teeth movement is being planned. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes of width, cross-sectional forms and surface morphologies of stainless steel wire and $Elgiloy^{\circledR}$ wire after electropolising. Experimental variables included in this experiment were arch wire materials, current, electrolyte temperature and polishing time. Wire widths were measured by micrometer and cross-sectional forms and surface morphologies were examined with optical microscope and scanning electron microcope. The results were as follows: 1. The mean and standard deviation of widths of stainless steel wire and $Elgiloy^{\circledR}$ wire varying polishing time with condition of $249A/dm^2$ and $20^{\circ}C,\;249A/dm^2$ and, $332A/dm^2$ and $20^{\circ}C$ and $332A/dm^2$ and $250^{\circ}C$ were obtained. 2. With increasing polishing time, the widths of stainless steel wire and $Elgiloy^{\circledR}$ wire became decreased proportionally 3. The changes of widths of stainless steel wire and $Elgiloy^{\circledR}$ wire were statistically insignificant between $20^{\circ}C$ group and $25^{\circ}C$ group, but significant between $249A/dm^2$ group and $332A/dm^2$ group. 4 The cross-sectional forms of wire after electropolishing were not changed in stainless steel wire, and while it were changed to rounded corners in $Elgiloy^{\circledR}$ wire. 5. The surface morphologies of wire after electropolishing were scratch-absent and more smoothened both in stainless steel wire and $Elgiloy^{\circledR}$ wire.

Objective: To evaluate the short-term effect of fangchinoline, an anti-inflammatory drug widely used in Asia, on root resorption that is associated with orthodontic tooth movement. Methods: Twenty-four Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups. Mesial forces of 0, 50, or 100 g were applied to the maxillary first molar of the rats in each group for 14 days by activating nickel-titanium closed-coil springs. One-half of the rats receiving each of these treatments also received injections of 200 ${\mu}L$ fangchinoline every 2 days. Finally, movement of the maxillary first molars was measured using digitized radiographs. The molars were extracted and the surfaces of the root resorption craters were recorded using a scanning electron microscope. The distance the molars moved and resorption-area ratio was measured, and results were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA tests. Results: There were no statistical differences in the distances the first molars moved under 50 or 100 g force, regardless of treatment with fangchinoline. However, the resorption area ratios were significantly smaller in those rats that were treated with both tension and fangchinoline than in those rats treated by tension alone. Conclusions: Fangchinoline reduced the resorption area ratio in rats and is therefore an important means of alleviating root resorption.

Preface: Dental implant is important method that may solve the mastication, occlusion, esthetic, temporomandibular joint, and psychologic problem in oral and maxillofacial surgery. It is ideal that all of the implant are well positioned by adequate technique. By the way it‘s not always possible because of some anatomic, physiologic factor. In this case, If the implant can be moved to adequate position, it may be possible more esthetically and implanted patients more satisfied, but the majority of Implantists and orthodontists have thought that it is not possible. However, Implant, in fact, can be moved. and thus we can overcome the limit of implantation more. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possibility of implant movement after corticotomy. Case report: Patient missed the upper right first molar. and implantation was done after completion of socket healing. We wait six months for osseointegration. Then, corticotomy was done under local anesthesia and close coil was used for orthodontic force. After traction during 3 weeks, we find the change of implant position at horizontal plane. we can not see the degenerative change on adjacent structure and tracted implant. there is a clinical mobility on upper right second premolar that used for anchorage but it subside spontaneously at the timing of prosthetic restoration without additional treatment. Discussion: As we could have some knowledge with this experiment, we report the case of implant movement after corticotomy and suggest a method about more esthetic implant treatment with a review of literature.

Osteochondroma is a common benign tumor of bones, but it is rare in the mandibular condyle. With its outgrowth it manifests clinically as deviation of the mandible limitation of mouth opening, and facial asymmetry. After the tumor is diagnosed on the basis of clinical symptoms and radiographic examination including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis, an appropriate surgery and treatment plan should be formulated. Herein, we present the case of a 44-year-old female patient who visited our dental hospital because her chin point had been deviating to the left side slowly but progressively over the last 3 years and she had difficulty masticating. Based on CBCT, she was diagnosed with skeletal Class III malocclusion accompanied by osteochondroma of the right mandibular condyle. Maxillary occlusal cant with the right side down was observed, but it was confirmed to be an extrusion of the molars associated with dental compensation. Therefore, after intrusion of the right molars with the use of temporary anchorage devices, sagittal split ramus osteotomy was used to remove the tumor and perform orthognathic surgery simultaneously. During 6 months after the surgery, continuous bone resorption and remodeling were observed in the condyle of the affected side, which led to a change in occlusion. During the postoperative orthodontic treatment, intrusive force and buccal torque were applied to the molars on the affected side, and a proper buccal overjet was created. After 18 months, CBCT revealed that the rate of bone absorption was continuously reduced, bone corticalization appeared, and good occlusion and a satisfying facial profile were achieved.

Objective: Speedy surgical orthodontics (SSO), an innovative orthodontic treatment, involves the application of orthopedic forces against temporary skeletal anchorage devices following perisegmental corticotomy to induce movement of specific dental segments. Herein, we report the biological effects of SSO on the teeth and periodontal structures. Methods: Five beagle dogs were divided into 2 groups and their 6 maxillary incisors were retracted $en$ $masse$ by applying 500 g orthopedic force against a single palatal mini-plate. Retraction was performed without and with perisegmental corticotomy in groups I and II, respectively. All animals were killed on the 70th day, and their periodontal structures were processed for histologic analyses and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). The linear distance between the third maxillary incisor and canine was used as a benchmark to quantify the retraction amount. Results: Retraction was markedly faster and retraction amount greater in group II than in Group I. Surprisingly, Group II did not show any root resorption despite extensive retraction, while Group I showed prominent root surface irregularities. Similarly, SEM showed multiple resorption lacunae in Group I, but not in Group II. Conclusions: SSO is an effective and favorable orthodontic approach for major en masse retraction of the maxillary anterior teeth.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the amount of tooth movement and histologic changes with different corticotomy designs and micro-osteoperforation in rabbits. Methods: The sample consisted of 24 rabbits divided into three experimental groups (triangular corticotomy [TC] and indentation corticotomy [IC] with flap, and flapless micro-osteoperforations [MP]) and a control. A traction force of 100 cN was applied by connecting the first premolars to the incisors. The amount of tooth movement was measured. Kruskal-Wallis test was used to assess differences in tooth movement between the groups. Micro-computed tomography, hematoxylin and eosin staining, and tartrate-resistant acidic phosphatase (TRAP) analysis were performed. Analysis of variance was applied to assess differences in TRAP-positive osteoclast count between the groups. Results: The amount of tooth movement increased by 46.5% and 32.0% in the IC and MP groups, respectively, while the bone fraction analysis showed 69.7% and 8.5% less mineralization compared to the control. There were no significant intergroup differences in the number of TRAP-positive osteoclasts. Conclusions: The micro-osteoperforation group showed no significant differences in the amount of tooth movement compared to the corticotomy groups, nor in the TRAP-positive osteoclast count compared to both corticotomy groups and control.

교정치료에서 원하는 치아이동을 위해서는 안정된 고정원이 필요한데 티타늄 미니스크류가 매식과 제거가 쉽고, 구강 내 여러 부위에서 적용이 가능하고, 환자가 느끼는 불편감이나 비용적인 부담이 적고, 제거 후에 치유가 빠르게 진행될 수 있는 등의 장점이 있어 최근에 교정적 고정원으로 사용되기 시작하였다. 티타늄 미니스크류를 교정적 고정원으로 사용한 임상 예들이 여러 편 발표되었는데 미니스크류의 이완이 가장 큰 실패의 원인으로 보고되고 있다. 그러나 지금까지 보고된 논문들에서 교정적 고정원으로 안정성을 줄 수 있는 스크류의 식립 길이에 관한 연구가 없는 상태이다. 교정적 고정원으로 미니스크류를 효과적으로 사용하기 위해서는 식립 부위에 따른 골구조와 골밀도 차이를 고려한 식립 길이에 관한 기준이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 성견의 상악골과 하악골에서 직경 2mm 티타늄 미니스크류를 다양한 길이로 식립하고 교정력을 적용한 후 그 안정성을 평가하여 교정적 고정원으로 사용될 수 있는 미니스크류의 식립 길이를 결정하고자 하였다. 미니스크류가 상악에서는 6mm 이상, 하악에서는 4mm 이상이 골 내에 식립될 때 8주 동안 200g의 교정력에 동요도나 위치변화를 보이지 않았다. 식립 부위로는 부착치은 부위 치근 사이에 식립될 때 구강청결이 유지되고 미니스크류 주변 치은조직에 자극을 주지 않아 정상적인 조직으로 유지 될 수 있었다. 또한 교정력 적용 8주 후 치근단 방사선 사진검사에서 스크류 주변 치근 흡수나 치조골 흡수, 치주 인대 손상이 관찰되지 않았다. 따라서 상$\cdot$하악 골밀도와 골구조의 차이를 고려하여 미니스크류의 골내 식립 길이를 적절히 조절함으로써 교정적 고정원으로 티타늄 미니스크류가 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다고 생각된다. 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였으나 Sn-Pg line와 Sn perp. 에서부터의 거리에는 차이가 없었다(p$44.32\%$ 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.Stainless Steel의 순이었다. 5. 비틀림실험은 0.016x0.022의 경우 Unitek Resilient가 가장 비틀림에 대한 저항이 큰데, 64.8회의 회전후 파절한다. 그 다음으로 Jinsung Stainless Steel, Unitek Hi-T, Ormco Stainless Steel, Unitek Standard(50.6회) 순이었다. 0.019x0.025의 경우 Jinsung Stainless Steel이 가장 커서 83.2회의 회전에 저항하고, Unitek Resilient, Unitek Standard의 순이고 Ormco와 Unitek Hi-T가 가장 저항력이 작았다. 6. 주사전자현미경으로 본 표면은 모든 제품에서 생산과정 중에 보이는 압흔과 pitting이 관찰되는데, 진성기업의 Stainless Steel은 가늘고 긴 압흔이 있으며 비교적

각형 호선이 edgewise 브라켓에 삽입되면 first, second order는 bending에 의해, third order는 torsion(비틀림)에 의해 3차원적인 force system이 발생한다. Bending에 관하여는 분석적 그리고 실험적인 많은 연구가 보고 되어 있는 반면 비틀림에 관해서는 상대적으로 많은 연구가 이루어 지지 않았다. 본 연구의 목적은 각형 와이어의 재료와 단면의 형태가 와이어의 비틀림 모멘트에 어떻게 영향을 주는지를 이론적, 실험적으로 밝혀서 임상적으로 적절한 모멘트를 가할 때 호선의 재료와 굵기를 합리적으로 선택할 수 있도록 하는데 있다. 실험재료로는 third order조절을 위해 가장 많이 사용하는 호선을 사용하였다. 크기별로 0.016x0.022, 0.017x0.025, 0.019x0.025인치 그리고 재료로는 stainless steel (Ormco), TMA(Ormco), NiTi(Ormco), 그리고 braided stainless steel(DentaFlex, Dentauum) 네 가지를 사용하여 총 12개의 조합을 사용하였다. Torsion formula를 이용하여 비틀림 강성 (torque/twist rate)을 계산하였고 torque gauge를 이용하여 비틀림 강성, 항복 비틀림 모멘트 (yield torsional moment), 그리고 최대 비틀림 모멘트 (ultimate torsional moment)를 측정하였다. Torsion formula에 의하면 비틀림 강성 (T/$\theta$)은 재료적인 특성(G)과 호선의 단면의 특성(J)에 비례하고 호선의 길이(L)에 반비례한다. 대부분의 실험치는 이론적인 값과 비슷하게 나타났다.

본 연구는 초탄성 니켈-타이타늄 wire로 수직적 높이 차이가 있는 치아의 leveling 과정을 재현하여 wire의 size와 결찰방법에 따른 force system의 변화를 알아보고 여기에 마찰력의 영향에 대해서 알아보고자 하였다. 브라켓은 0.018" slot의 standard twin bracket을 사용하였으며 교정용 wire는 0.014", 0.016" 그리고 0.016" ${\times}$ 0.022" NiTi를 이용하였고 수직적인 높이는 0에서 5 mm까지 1 mm 간격으로 부하와 탈부하 과정을 실험하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 마찰력은 loading 시 wire의 stiffness를 증가시켰으며, 0.014" NiTi를 O-ring 결찰을 한 경우에 현저한 stiffness의 증가를 나타내었다. Light wire (0.014)는 수직적으로 5 mm 변위된 치아의 이동 시 2 mm, 0.016"는 3 mm, 0.016" ${\times}$ 0.022"는 4 mm까지의 이동에 유용한 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구결과는 수직적 변위가 큰 경우에 light wire조차도 적절한 힘을 발휘하지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate three-dimensional molar displacement after distalization via miniscrews and a horizontal modification of the trans-palatal-arch (TPA). Methods: The subjects in this clinical trial were 26 Class II patients. After the preparation of a complete set of diagnostic records, miniscrews were inserted between the maxillary 2nd premolar and 1st molar on the palatal side. Elastic modules connected to the TPA exerting an average force of 150-200 g/side parallel to the occlusal plane were applied. Cone-beam computed tomography was utilized to evaluate the position of the miniscrews relative to the adjacent teeth and maxillary sinus, and the direction of force relative to molar furcation. The distances from the central point of the incisive papilla to the mesiopalatal cusps of the 1st maxillary molars and the distances between the mesiopalatal cusps of the left and right molars were measured to evaluate displacement of the maxillary molars on the horizontal plane. Interocclusal space was used to evaluate vertical changes. Results: Mean maxillary 1st molar distalization was $2.3{\pm}1.1mm$, at a rate of $0.4{\pm}0.2mm/month$, and rotation was not significant. Intermolar width increased by $2.9{\pm}1.8mm$. Molars were intruded relative to the neighboring teeth, from 0.1 to 0.8 mm. Conclusions: Distalization of molars was possible without extrusion, using the appliance investigated. The intrusive component of force reduced the rate of distal movement.
