Impacted or unerupted permanent teeth have many problems in making a diagnosis and treatment plan in dental clinic. There are several methods to treat impacted teeth. The combination of surgical exposure and orthodontic traction is usually the treatment of choice in cases with impacted teeth. Two cases are reported, which were treated with surgical intervention and orthodontic movement. and one case is treated with orthodontic movement alone. To improve esthetic problem and maintain periodontal health, We should avoid loss of attached gingiva in surgical exposure, and excessive orthodontic force during the traction of the impacted tooth.

Corticotomy was introduced as a surgical procedure to shorten orthodontic treatment time. Corticotomy removes the cortical bone that strongly resists orthodontic force in the jaw and keeps the marrow bone to maintain blood circulation and continuity of bone tissues to reduce risk of necrosis and facilitate tooth movement. In the 21st century, the concept of regional acceleratory phenomenon was introduced and the development of the skeletal anchorage system using screw and plate enabled application of orthopedic force beyond conventional orthodontic force, so corticotomy has been applied to more cases. Also, various modified methods of minimally invasive techniques have been introduced to reduce the patient's discomfort due to surgical intervention and complications after surgery. We will review the history of corticotomy, its mechanism of action, and various modified procedures and indications.

Traumatic dental injury can result in avulsion of anterior teeth. In young patients, it is a challenge to the dental professional because after replantation, late complications such as ankylosis require tooth extraction. Although prosthetic and orthodontic treatment, and implant placement have been described as the options for intervention, autogenous tooth transplantation could be an effective procedure in growing patients if there is a suitable donor tooth available. This case presents the treatment of a patient who suffered a traumatic injury at 9 years old with avulsion of tooth 21, which had been replanted, and intrusion of tooth 11. Both teeth ankylosed; thus they were removed and autotransplantation of premolars was carried out. After transplantation, the tooth underwent root canal treatment because of pulpal necrosis. Orthodontic treatment began 3 months after transplantation and during 7 years' follow-up the aesthetics and function were maintained without signs of resorption.

조기 교정치료의 목적은 현재 존재하는 문제점들을 바로잡고 발생 가능한 문제점들을 차단하며 상황이 점점 악화되는 것을 미리 방지하는 것이다. 근기능적인 영향이 치열과 안모성장에 미치는 영향은 정상 치열구조에 형태적 변이를 일으키고 이미 존재하는 부정교합을 가속화시키게 된다. 따라서 이런 근기능적인 영향이 부정교합에 미치는 영향을 조기에 차단하여 부정교합이 악화되는 것을 예방하고 부가적으로 일어날 수 있는 문제점들을 막고자 하였다. 근기능치료는 1960년대 구강 습관을 치료하는 것으로부터 촉진되어 현재까지 많은 장치를 이용한 치료가 시행되고 있다. 최근 기존의 기능적 교정 장치가 가지고 있는 단점을 없애며 치아와 악골 배열과 관련된 근기능적인 습관을 조절할 수 있도록 혼합치열기의 부정교합을 가지고 있는 아동에게 적절한 장치로 Pre-orthodontic $TRAINER^{(R)}$가 소개되었다. Pre-orthodontic $TRAINER^{(R)}$는 $6{\sim}10$세 영구 전치가 맹출한 혼합 치열기 어린이에서 특히 하악 전치부 밀집이나, 전치부 반대교합, 2급 부정교합, 과개 교합을 가졌을 경우 사용될 수 있다. 또 만성적인 구호흡이나 손가락 빨기 버릇, 잘못된 연하습관을 가진 어린이에게도 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 본 증례는 단국대학교 소아치과에 교정치료를 하기 위해 내원한 환자들 중에서 본격적인 교정치료 시작 전 습관조절을 위해 Pre-orthodontic $TRAINER^{(R)}$를 이용하여 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

골격성 III급 부정교합을 가진 환자에서의 보철 치료는 환자의 전신적요인과 기타 구강내, 외적인 요인을 고려하여 정확한 치료 계획하에 시행되어야 한다. 성인에 있어서 III급 악골관계는 외과적 수술과 교정치료가 선행된 후 보철수복이 진행되도록 계획하는 경우가 일반적이지만 환자의 전신적 요인 등으로 인하여 수술이 불가능한 경우가 있을 수 있다. 이러한 경우에서는 보철로 인한 저작기능의 회복시 좀 더 안정적으로 교합을 유지, 지속할 수 있는 치료가 필요하다. 본 증례에서는 전신질환으로 인하여 수술이 불가한 III급 악골관계를 가진 환자에서 고정성 보철 수복을 통하여 경제적, 시간적으로 효율적이고 기능과 심미를 충족시키는 임상적 결과를 얻었기에 보고하고자 한다.

정중 과잉치를 이른 시기에 발견하고 이를 신중하게 관리하는 것은 인접 영구 전치가 맹출하고 정상적인 위치로 자리 잡는데 미칠 수 있는 유해한 영향을 줄일 수 있다. 초기 혼합치열기에 있어 정중 이개가 정상적인 것으로 간주되지만 정중 과잉치의 존재를 이른 시기에 파악하고 이를 적절한 시기에 제거하는 것은 이어지는 영구 중절치의 자발적인 배열과 근접화를 가능하게 한다. 정중 이개의 관리에 있어서 가장 바람직한 선택은 주기적인 관찰이라 할 수 있다. 그러나 관찰 기간 동안에 정중 이개가 자발적으로 폐쇄되지 않을 때에는 교정 치료가 필요할 수 있다. 본 보고에서는 정중 과잉치로 인한 정중 이개의 폐쇄에서 정중 과잉치의 제거 이후 자발적 즉 생리적으로 폐쇄되는 증례(증례 1-3)와 함께 교정적 처치로 정중 폐쇄를 시행한 증례(증례 4)를 보고하고자 한다.

Objectives: The purpose of study is to investigate periodontal disease-related recognition and oral health-related behavior in orthodontic patients with fixed appliance. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 286 orthodontic patients with fixed appliance in Gwangju, Jeonnam from September 1 to September 27, 2016. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics (3 items), orthodontic related characteristics (3 items), knowledge of periodontal disease (3 items), and oral health-related behavior (4 items). The data were analyzed by frequency analysis, percentage and chi-square analysis using SPSS 21.0 program. Results: 62.8% had experiences of dental treatment and 67.5% had intention of involvement on incremental care program in orthodontic treatment periods. Accuracy rate of cause about periodontal disease was high in female and case of acquiring information experiences on periodontal disease (p<0.05). 67.2% performed correct toothbrushing for the management of periodontal disease in the experiences of acquiring information on periodontal disease in orthodontic treatment periods (p<0.05). The proportions of using interdental toothbrush and mouth rinsing solutions were high among those over 20 years old and students in the subjects (p<0.05). Conclusions:The accuracy rate were high in the answers about cause and management of periodontal disease in case of acquiring information experiences on periodontal disease in orthodontic treatment periods. Therefore, there is a need to further development and implementation of dental hygiene intervention program for periodontal disease care with fixed orthodontic appliances in that regard.

Orthodontic treatment for middle-aged patients has become more commonplace with various reasons including improved socioeconomic status. Understanding of oral status and treatment modalities of middle-aged patients is mandatory for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment planning. This study investigated 100 consecutive patients aged 40s and 50s and 100 aged 20s who had been examined and diagnosed at the Department of Orthodontics, Chonnam National University Dental Hospital. The results were obtained as follows; 1. Gender distribution showed female outnumbered male patients in young-aged adult patients, but middle-aged patients showed similar male and female distribution. 2. The major concern seeking orthodontic treatment was esthetics not only in young-aged but also in middle-aged adult patients, and a number of middle-aged patients were concerned about oral health as well. 3. Considerable number of middle-aged patients were referred by other dental specialties while young-aged adult patients were more self-motivated for orthodontic treatment. 4. Middle-aged adult patients had more missing teeth and periodontal disease than young-aged adults. 5. The most frequently-observed problem was dental spacing in middle-aged patients while dental crowding in young-aged adult patients. Middle-aged patients showed higher prevalence of deep overbite and overjet while most of young-aged adults presented opposite direction of problem in overbite and overjet. 6. Limited orthodontic treatment was required rather than comprehensive treatment in middle-aged patients, and the most common tooth moving area was anterior part of dentition in case of limited treatment. Need of interdisciplinary therapy with other dental specialties was more common in middle-aged patients. 7. Intervention of specific technique such as invisible TP, passive bracketing, passive wire bonding, and lingual orthodontics was more required in middle-aged patients. Considering that middle-aged patients have different characteristics than young-aged adults, the results of the present study suggest that different treatment modalities are required in middle-aged orthodontic patients in order to manage them properly and efficiently.

Objective: This study was performed to investigate the rate of tooth movement and histological characteristics of extraction sockets those were subjected to corticotomy. Methods: A split-mouth randomized controlled trial experiment was designed. Thirty-two adult, male Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups: healing extraction socket (H) and recent extraction socket (R); these groups were randomly classified into 4 subgroups (0/7/21/60 days). The first maxillary molar was extracted on 1 side and 2 months were allowed for complete bone healing; then, the corresponding molar was extracted on the other side and surgical intervention was performed at the mid-alveolar point of the first maxillary molar. Ten grams of continuous force was applied. The outcomes measured were rate of tooth movement, percentage of periodontal space and histological evaluation. The rate of tooth movement was calculated as the measured distance divided by the duration of molar movement. Histomorphometric evaluations were performed on the second and third maxillary molars. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare differences between the two groups. Results: There were no significant differences in the rates of tooth movement between H and R groups at any of the 4 time points. The histological appearance and percentage of periodontal space between the R and H groups also demonstrated no significant differences. Conclusions: The rates of orthodontic tooth movement into recent and healed socket sites did not differ between the groups. Histological analysis of tooth movement revealed regional acceleration during every time period.
