Purpose: The purpose of this study was to spectrophotometrically evaluate the shade difference between of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth in the Korean by the standard of vita classical shade guide using $SpectroShade^{TM}$. Material and methods: In this study, the shades of healthy anterior teeth were examined and analyzed using the digital shade analysis of $SpectroShade^{TM}$. This study examined 80 individuals in their twenties, thirties, fourties, fifities ages and 40 males and 40 females, presenting 12 healthy, unrestored maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. Tooth brushing and oral prophylaxis were performed prior to evaluation. The $SpectroShade^{TM}$ was used to acquire images of the 12 maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. These images were analyzed using $SpectroShade^{TM}$ Software, and shade maps of each tooth were acquired. The shade difference of upper and lower, and gender differences and ages difference were investigated and analyzed with CIE $L^{*}a^{*}b^{*}$ color order system. One-Way ANOVA test was used to find out if there were significant differences between groups tested and Sheffe multiple comparison was used to identify where the differences were. Results: 1. Shade differences were significant (P < .05) between maxillary and mandibular central incisor, lateral incisor, canine. 2. No significant differences in shade distribution were seen between lateral incisors and central incisors. 3. Canine's shade difference were more significant than central incisor's and lateral incisors's. 4. No significant differences in shade distribution were seen between genders in maxillary and mandibulr central incisor, lateral incisor, canine. 5. No significant differences in shade distribution were seen in order of years in maxillary and mandibulr central incisor, lateral incisor, canine. Conclusions: The results of this study show that 1. Shade difference was founded in maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth and ${\Delta}E^{*}$ value was more than 2.0. 2. Canine's shade difference were more significant than central incisor's and lateral incisors's and between central incisors and lateral incisors shade differences were no significant. 3. No significant differences in shade distribution were seen between genders in maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. 4. No significant differences in shade distribution were seen in order of years grade in maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth.

In order to evaluate the normal eruption time of Korean permanent teeth, the uthor had examined the eruption phases of permanent central incisors in 714 malw and 581 female children aged from 4.5 to 9-year old and analysed. The eruption was divided into 3 phases; the tip of crown can be seen, the half of the crown can be easily seen, and full length of the crown can be seen. The obtained results were as follows : 1. It seemed that percentage of the erupting and erupted permanent central incisor in female by age was higher than that of male. 2. In general, percentage of the erupting and erupted lower central incisor by age was higher than that of upper first molar.

The purpose of this study was to determine the mean value of overbite and overjet, and to find the correlation among overbite, overjet and relative maxillofacial structures using the data from orthodontic casts and cephalometric films of boys and girls aged from 9 to 18 years with normal occlusions. The results were obtained as follows: 1. Incisal overbite depth was decreased from Group I to Group III. 2. The highest value of correlation coefficient with incisal overbite was 0.368 of incisal angle. in Group III. 3. Overjet was not significantly correlated with the age and sex. 4. Ratio of mesiodistal diameters of upper and lower incisors was not significantly correlated with overbite and overjet.

In order to collect some necessary data to promote correcting the toothbrushing technic on the Korean public, the author had examined the number of present teeth on which had cervical abrasion and the most basic home dental care in 2,000 Korean male and female adults from 19 to 52 years in the age. Then, the cervical abrasion experience rate and the cervical abrasion experience teeth rate were calculated and evaluated. The obtained results were as follows: 1. Cervical abrasion experience rate was 32.45% 2. Cervical abrasion experience rate was gradually increased by ageing. 3. Cervical abrasion experience rate in male adults was higher than that in female adults. 4. Cervical abrasion experience rate in the lower jaw was higher than that in the upper jaw. 5. Cervical abrasion experience rate of the teeth at the right side was higher than that of the teeth at the left side. 6. Cervical abrasion experience teeth rate was 3.82%. 7. Cervical abrasion experience rate was highest on the first bicuspid, and followed in the sequence of the second bicuspid, canine, first molar, incisors, and 2nd and 3rd molars.

This study was undertaken to investigate the values of the cephalometric standards of Korean children which consisted of 57 boys and 61 girls with normal occlusion and harmony of the facial musculature. The following conclusions were obtained. 1) The relatively vertical inclination of nasal bone and flat contour of the frontal bone contribute to the flattening of the upper face. 2) Slight lack of chin prominence characterizes the lower face while procumbent incisors and their alveolar bone dominate the middle face. 3) A caudal skull base inclination is probably the most specific feature for Korean.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of mesiodens among children in Korea. The study population consisted of 20 children whose ages ranged from 4 years to 26 years. The characteristics of mesiodens were obtained from radiographs and clinical examination results, and were confirmed by surgical intervention. Results showed that males were affected four times as frequently as female. Thirty-five percent of the patients had more than one supernumerary tooth. About 67% of the mesiodens were conical in shape and about 34% of the mesiodens were in the upward position. The age and sex distribution, number of mesiodens per patient, shape, direction, size, and effect on permanent upper incisors are also presented in this study.

Anterior spacing is one of the interesting phenomena in clinical orthodontics and presents difficulties in determining the etiology and the retention method. Only through the careful examination can orthodontists reach the correct diagnosis and treatment plan and every orthodontist should get rid of the cause to obtain good results. The author considered about the treatment and the retention method of the anterior spacing according to etiology and presented two eases of anterior spacing. In the first ease, the etiology was simple arch length discrepancy with excessively protruded anteriors. In the second ease, the etiology was the same as the above but the patient had the tongue thrusting habit. Both the eases showed the thin fibrous tissue bands between the upper central incisors but only the second case was thought to be associated with this tissue. The permanent retention loop which is non-surgical was applied to the ease and the results were acceptable.
