Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare the short-term effectiveness of hard and soft stabilizing appliances (H-A and S-A) in treating patients with acute temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement without reduction (DDwoR). Methods: Eighty one patients diagnosed as acute TMJ DDwoR at oral medicine of Chosun University Dental Hospital from November 2016 to September 2017 were included in this study. The subjects were divided into three groups: The control group (34 patients treated without occlusal appliance), the H-A group (31 patients treated with H-A) and the S-A group (16 patients treated with S-A). The pain intensity using Visual Analog Scale and maximum mouth opening (MMO) were evaluated every week for 8 weeks. Results: The improvement of the pain intensity and MMO in the H-A group and the S-A group compared with the control group were noted (p<0.05). Conclusions: This study suggests that hard and S-As may be equally useful in treating patients with TMJ DDwoR. S-A could be recommended to reduce the symptoms of TMJ DDwoR in short period.

The swing motion of the spreader during and after movement causes an efficiency problem of position control in unmaned gantry crane. The objective of this research is to design implementable stabilizing controllers that minimize the swing motion of spreader in precise position control. The dynamic equations related to trolley, rope, and spreader are derived. For constitute a similar actual system, we introduced a conception of spring and damper in the connector. It is located between the trolley and link that is used in stead of rope. We derived dynamic equation by appliance that friction and external disturbance are occurred to the connector. We constituted of position servo system and velocity servo system for the control of position and velocity of the trolley and constituted of lag compensator system for the control of sway of the spreader. And we will show an effect of the proposed system in this research finally.

Premolars show the greatest variation in development and eruption. The present case report identified characteristics of eruption of maxillary premolars with delayed development. Multiple maxillary premolars with delayed development were found to have a palatal ectopic eruption pattern, which was self-corrected through eruption guidance by extraction of preceding primary teeth at the stage of root development when eruption force was maximal. In addition, delayed eruption due to delayed development was substantially improved by eruption guidance. Early erupted premolars with less than 1/3 of root development were induced to have normal root development using stabilizing appliance. The maxillary premolars with delayed development reported in the present study showed no complications such as impaction, space loss by delayed eruption, or insufficient root development.

치아의 맹출은 일반적으로 치근의 1/2~2/3이 완성(Nolla stage 7)되었을 때 임상적으로 출은(emergence)하여 치근 형성이 완성되기 전에 교합평면에 도달한다. 조기 맹출이란 맹출이 가속화되어 정상 맹출 시기 보다 이른 시기에 맹출하는 것으로, 일반적으로 정상 범주를 벗어나는 영구치의 조기 맹출은 매우 드물며 유치의 만성 치근단 주위염 등의 국소적 원인으로 인한 계승 영구치의 상방 치조골이 광범위하게 파괴되었을 때 치아의 치관이나 치근의 형성이 거의 이루어지지 않은 채 계승 영구치가 조기 맹출하는 것을 관찰할 수 있다. 또한 영구치의 조기 맹출에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 여러 전신 질환이 있는 경우에도 영구치의 조기 맹출이 가능하다. 조기맹출 치아의 임상 소견으로는 심한 동요도와 저작 시 동통, 법랑질의 저석회화, 치아의 편향과 변위, 회전 등이 있으며, 방사선학적 소견으로는 미발육된 치근과 골지지의 부족 등이 있다. 조기 맹출 영구치의 발생 가능한 합병증으로는 만성적인 외상과 동통 및 부종이 있을 수 있고, 맹출 순서의 변경과 인접치의 이동으로 인한 소구치 매복율의 증가, 치아의 변위와 회전이 야기될 수 있으며, 영구치의 탈락도 있을 수 있다. 따라서 증상이 있는 조기 맹출 영구치의 경우 공간 유지 및 영구치 고정과 주위 조직의 회복, 치근 발육의 유도를 위해 적절한 처치가 필요하다. 전신 질환이 없는 만7세 여환이 상악 양쪽 제 1소구치의 심한 동요도와 동통을 주소로 치과 의원에서 의뢰되었다. 임상 및 방사선 검사상 치근 형성이 거의 없이 양측 상악 제 1소구치들이 조기 맹출되어 심한 동요도와 부종 및 저작 시동통을 나타내어 상악 제 2유구치에 교정용 band와 spur를 이용한 구내 고정식 장치를 제작하여 14개월 간 장착하여 조기 맹출한 치아들을 안정화시키고 성공적으로 치근 형성을 도모하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: This study is designed to analyse etiology and bone pattern at the first visit using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to evaluate the treatment outcome of conservative treatment in temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: One hundred condyles in 50 subjects with RA were chosen among the patients who presented to the Department of Oral Medicine of Pusan National University Dental Hospital, diagnosed as TMD. Condylar bone changes were classified by normal, erosive bony change, proliferative bony change and combined group (erosive bony change+proliferative bony change). They were treated conservatively with physical therapy, medication, behavioral therapy and/or occlusal stabilizing splint therapy. After 3 months on average, patients were re-evaluated with regards to subjective symptoms and the clinical findings were investigated. Results: TMD patients with RA have behavioral contributing factors such as parafunctional habit. The results that analyse bone pattern at the first visit using CBCT proliferative bony changes group (32.6%) were more common than erosive bony changes group (15.2%). In comparison between unilateral and bilateral bony change in temporomandibular joint, the ratio showed no significant differences. After 3 months of conservative treatments, pain, noise, limitation of motion (LOM) were markedly improved regardless of occlusal splint therapy. However only LOM was significantly improved through occlusal splint therapy during 3 months. Conclusions: TMD patients with RA had similar behavioral contributing factors and characteristics of CBCT images shown in general TMD patients and also similar response to conservative treatment so it is difficult to differentiate. Therefore when TMD patients show symptoms corresponding to clinical diagnostic criteria of RA at the first visit, serological testing should be conducted and through this, early diagnosis and treatment of RA should be initiated.
