The orthodontic surgery including lingual orthodontics has recently attracted a person's attention due to its functional and esthetic appreciation. The skeletal anchorage with the miniscrew is newly adopted in the lingual orthodontics to assist the upholding ability. The appliciation needs to understand the mechanism of the orthodontic appliance and its related orthodontic correction for optimal orthodontic treatment. There is, however, few information about the qualitative and quantitative effect of the orthodontic appliance with the miniscrew has not been well identified. In this paper, three dimensional finite element analysis is introduced to the lingual orthodontics in order to investigate the effect of the anterior retraction force on the miniscrew and transpalatal arch wire. The analysis determines the adequate location of the miniscrew and the point of force application of the anchorage system in the lingual orthodontics. The analysis results demonstrate the effect of the position of the miniscrew and the transpalatal arch wire on the lingual orthodontics.

교정적인 치아이동에 필요한 힘들은 orthodontic wire나 여러 가지 elastic rubber등으로 얻을 수 있다. 이중 교정용 elastic rubber는 환경 변화, 시간 경과, 신장(stretch) 정도에 따라 영구 변형과 힘의 소실(force decay)이 다양하게 나타나므로 적용된 힘을 예측하기 힘든 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 임상에서 널리 사용되는 3가지 종류 (Ormco : Generation II Power Chains ; brand A, RMO : Energy-Chain ; brand B, Unitek : AlastiK ; brand C)의 교정용 합성고무탄성재를 실험 환경, 초기 힘의 크기, 고무탄성재의 형태 그리고 신장속도를 달리한 뒤 시간에 따른 잔존 힘의 변화를 비교하였으며, 종류에 따른 특징적인 물리적 성질에 대하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 세 종류 모두에서 상온의 공기에 보관된 경우 잔존 힘의 비율이 가장 컸으며 물과 타액 간에는 차이가 없었다. 2. 세 종류 모두에서 24시간 이후로는 초기 힘의 크기에 따른 잔존 힘의 비율에 차이가 없었다. 3. A, B는 filament 유무에 따른 잔존 힘의 비율에 차이가 없었으나 C에서는 filament가 있는 경우 힘의 소실이 더 많았다. 4. 신장속도를 달리하여도 잔존 힘의 비율에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 5. B는 각각의 실험조건에서 A, C보다 상대적으로 잔존 힘의 비율이 높았다.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the effects of commonly consumed hot drinks on the force decay of orthodontic elastomeric chains. Methods: This in vitro experimental study evaluated 375 pieces of elastomeric chains with six rings placed on a jig. Four rings were stretched by 23.5 mm corresponding to the approximate distance between the canine and the second premolar. Fifteen pieces served as reference samples at time zero, and 360 pieces were randomized into four groups: control, hot water, hot tea, and hot coffee. Each group was further divided into six subgroups (n = 15) according to the different exposure periods. The specimens in the experimental groups were exposed to the respective solutions at 65.5℃ four times per day for 90 seconds at 5-second intervals. The control group was exposed to artificial saliva at 37℃. The force decay of the samples was measured at 1, 2, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days using a universal testing machine. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results: Maximum force decay occurred on day 1 in all groups. The minimum force was recorded in the control group, followed by the tea, coffee, and hot water groups on day 1. At the other time points, the minimum force was observed in the tea group, followed by the control, coffee, and hot water groups. Conclusions: Patients can consume hot drinks without concern about any adverse effect on force decay of the orthodontic elastomeric chains.

Orthodontic extrusion is usually performed by means of a fixed orthodontic appliance that utilizes arch wire attached to adjacent teeth and transfers the desired force by elastic from the wire to the root. However, clinicians often encounter cases where the bonding required for tooth traction is not possible because the adjacent teeth have been restored with ceramic or veneer. The purpose of this case report is to describe a modified orthodontic extrusion appliance that is useful when conventional orthodontic treatment is not possible. The modified appliance was fabricated using an artificial tooth, clear plastic sheeting, and a braided fiber-reinforced composite strip that covered adjacent teeth without bonding. It satisfied the esthetic and functional needs of the patient and established the optimal biologic width.

병적 치아 이동된 상악 전치를 가진 중등도 치주염 환자에서는 치태 관리를 통한 치주 염증의 해소뿐만 아니라 치아를 재위치 시키기 위한 교정치료가 함께 필요하다. 이 때의 교정치료는 더 적은 힘의 적용과 치아의 저항중심, 최적의 힘 등을 세심하게 고려해야 하는데, 이동하고자 하는 치아에만 적용되는 분절호선은 이동의 예측성을 높여주고, 힘을 조절할 수 있어 보다 효율적이다. 또한 교정치료 시, 고정원으로 사용되는 치아의 원치 않는 움직임을 차단하여 구치 교합 상태를 유지할 수 있는 장치 설계가 필요하며, 이를 위해 다양한 종류의 골성 고정원이 사용될 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 정출되고 변위된 상악 전치를 가진 환자에서, 철저한 치주 치료와 적절한 힘과 역학이 설계된 교정 장치로, 양호한 치료 결과를 얻을 수 있었으므로, 소개하고자 한다.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents are used to relieve pain and to reduce swelling in dental clinics. This experiment was performed to study the effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents in Sprague-Dawley rats on orthodontic tooth movement. Thirty rats were used and divided six groups of five rats each. The first group, administered saline and no orthodontic force, served as a normal group. The second group, administered saline and applied experimental force, was control group. The other four groups were administered Aspirin, Pontal, Tyrenol and Indomethacin each, and applied experimental orthodontic force by 1/4 inch elastic, inserted into the interproximal space between maxillary first and second molar in rats. All experimental rats were sacrificed after three days, and the specimens were sectioned horizontally five times serially, and counted the number of osteoclasts appeared at the compressed surface of interradicular bone on first buccal root of first molar on light microscope. The obtained results were as follows: 1. The number of osteoclast on the compressed surface of the interradicular bone on first buccal root of the first molar in the four non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents groups decreased in contrast to control group. 2. In non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents group, the number of osteoclast in Indomethacin group was least among the all non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents groups. From the above results, it was believed that the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents may have the inhibitory effect of tooth movement during orthodontic treatment.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of orthodontic force on periodontal cellular activity by immunoperoxidase stain of epidermal growth factor, one of the tissue hormone. And supplementarily, to investigate of the changes of periodontal structures, periodontium was stained by H-E, Masson's Trichrome, P. A. S. stain after orthodontic force application. The experimental animals were four young adult dogs of average 8 month old. The fixed orthodontic appliance was cemented on mandibular right 4th premolar and 1st molar of each animal as experimental site. Mandibular left 4th premolar area of the same animal was used as control. The appliance consist of two silver crown soldered with 0.030' tube, $0.018\times0.022'$ S.S. sectional arch wire, and 0.009' open coil spring for manifestating of orthodontic force for bodily tooth movement of mandibular 4th premolar toward mesial direction. Experimental group was sacrificed at 1, 2, 3, 5 weeks from beginning of the experiment, and was investigated immunohistochemically and bistochemically by several staining methods. Findings were as follows: 1. The degree of EGF staining in control group was highest in epithelium of periodontium, and osteoclasts, osteoblasts and fibroblasts around the capillary were stained at higher level in periodontium. Generally, control group shows positive distribution of EGF all around the periodontal area. 2. The degree of EGF staining in control and 5 week group were similar, and did not show the significant different level between tension and pressure side. 3. All of 1, 2, 3 week group showed the same staining degree and distribution of EGF, and the tension side was more positive reaction of EGF stain than the pressure side. 4. The features of collagen fiber and periodontal fiber arrangement observed by H-E, Masson's Trichrome and P. A. S. stain revealed that oblique periodontal fibers were strectched in tension side, compressed in pressure side of all experimental group. Some fiber group in pressure side of 5 week group recovered the regular arrangement along the capillaries.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects of continuous force application for extrusive tipping movement and occlusal interference on periapical root resorption in the rat mandibular first molar. Methods: We constructed an appliance comprising a titanium screw implant with a cobalt-chromium post as the anchorage unit and a nickel-titanium closed coil spring (50 cN) as the active unit. Force was applied on the mandibular left first molar of rats for 8 (n = 10) and 15 days (n = 10; experimental groups), with the tooth in occlusion. Five rats were included as a non-treated control group to examine the body effect of the appliance. Active root resorption lacunae, identified using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, were evaluated in terms of the length, depth, and area. Results: The rat mandibular first molars were mesially tipped and extruded in the occlusal direction. This mesio-occlusal tipping movement and occlusion resulted in the formation of a compression zone and active root resorption lacunae in the distoapical third of the distal roots. However, there was no significant difference in the amount of root resorption between the two experimental groups. The control group did not exhibit any active root resorption lacunae. Conclusions: Periapical root resorption was induced by continuous extrusive tipping force and occlusal interference in rat mandibular molars. These data suggest that we orthodontists had better take care not to induce occlusal interference during our orthodontic treatment.

Patients who have impacted tooth are found commonly in orthodontic treatment. Although it is difficult to find the cause of impacted teeth, the most common, causes are prolonged retention of the deciduous teeth, trauma, aberrant sequence of eruption, lack of space and deficiency of Vitamin D. Impacted teeth may lead to esthetic and functional problems and root resorption of adjacent teeth, so we should treat it as soon as possible. Commonly used treatment method is the following: After surgically uncovering of the impacted teeth, a bond of orthodontic appliance is established, and orthodontic traction is started with a removable or fixed appliance. We used the modified lingual arch with a soldered auxiliary appliance in lingual arch for traction of lower impacted teeth. The modified lingual arch could control the magnitude and direction of the applied force with one-arch treatment, and also could give continuous force to impacted tooth without patient patient cooperation. We achieved good results with the modified lingual arch.
