치열궁내의 공간 부조화를 단순히 가용 arch perimeter에 대한 tooth material의 총합의 차이만으로 예측하는 것은 치아의 이동을 단지 평면적으로만 해석한 것인 반면, 실제로 치아는 치료에 의해 3차원적으로 움직이게 되어 치열궁 형태와 curve of Spee의 정도 그리고 치축 각도와 경사에도 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구는 교정환자의 치료전 모형분석시 치열궁내 공간 부조화를 보다 분석적으로 평가하기 위해 소구치 발치 후 arch perimeter의 감소와 전치부의 전후방적인 이동량간의 관계를 알아보고 아울러 curve of Spee와 기저골내 기준평면에 대한 전치부의 치축 각도 그리고 전치부 총생등이 어떤 영향을 미치는 지에 대해 고찰해 보고자 한다. 연세대학교 치과대학병원 교정과에 내원하여 교정치료를 받은 환자 중 Angle씨 제 I급 부정교합이며 4개의 제 1소구치를 발거한 양악 전돌자로서 치아에 형태학적 변이 및 보철물을 갖지 않은 자, 치아수에 이상이 없는 자, 교모나 이소맹출치를 갖지 않은 자, 견치 및 대구치가 Angle씨 제 I급 교합관계를 가지며 3m이상의 치아밀집을 갖지 않은 자를 대상으로 하여 치아모형 분석 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 견치간 폭경이 유지될 경우, 제 1소구치 발거 후 하악 중절치가 후방이동 될 수 있는 공간의 양은 소구치 발거 공간의 크기보다 크게 나타났으며, 그 차이는 1mm보다 작았다. 이때 치열궁의 형태가 전방으로 좁아질수록 그 차이가 증가하였다. 2. 견치간 폭경이 구치부의 폭경에 일치되게 확장될 경우 견치간 폭경이 유지될 때보다 3mm내외의 중절치의 후방이 동이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 3. 중절치의 후방이동시 치체이동과 경사이동에서 가능한 절연의 전후방적인 차이가 미세하게 나타났다. 4. 견치간 폭경을 유지하면서 전치부 분절내 총생을 해소할 경우, 처음의 전치부 분절의 장경이 클수록 중절치의 전방 이동량이 증가하였다. 5. Curve of Spee를 leveling할 경우, arch perimeter의 증가량은 Curve of Spee의 최대 길이의 1/2보다 적게 나타났다.

The notion that the axis of the shaft of the articulator must coincide the patient's mandibular transverse axis tells us the importance of locating the axis precisely. When using kinematic axis to transfer a cast to an articulator, the anatomic asymmetry of the contralateral points will result in certain distortion when the axis transferred to an articulator where the mechanical axis produces symmetry. In this study, after locating the true hinge axis point with Denar hinge axis locator, the discrepancies between true hinge axis point and arbitrary hinge axis point that was 13mm anterior from the posterior margin of center of trangus to the outer canthus of eye were measured. And the discrepancies between left and right true hinge axis point in the superoinferior and anteroposterior directions were measured. For this study, 20 dental students who have no missing teeth and no difficulties of mandibular movement were selected. Upper and lower cast of subjects were mounted on Denar Mark II articulator uisng Denar Slidematic face-bow and centric relation record for the measurement of discrepancies between left and right true hinge axis points. The results obtained as follows. 1. The mean distance from the arbitrary hinge axis point to the true hinge axis point was as follows. Right: horizontal distance; 1.99mm, vertical distance; 2.12mm, linear distance; 3.36 mm. Left: horizontal distance; 1.39mm, vertical distance; 2.06mm, linear distance; 2.09mm. Total: horizontal distance; 1.69mm, vertical distance; 2.09mm linear distance; 3.06 mm. 2. The 87.5% of true hinge axis points were within 5mm of the arbitrary hinge axis point. 3. The mean discrepancies between the right and left hinge axis point were 2.92mm in superoinferior direction and 4.74mm in anteroposterior direction. 4. When transferring the axis to the articulator, anatomic asymmetry between right: and left axis point produces in dislocation of cast on the articulator, and undesirable shift in esthetic tooth position will be resulted.

Purpose: This study was conducted to assess the efficacy of prophylactic gingival grafting in the mandibular anterior labial area for preventing orthodontically induced gingival recession. Methods: Eight mongrel dogs received gingival graft surgery at the first (I1) and third (I3) mandibular incisors on both sides based on the following group allocation: AT group (autogenous connective tissue graft on I1), AT-control group (contralateral side in the AT group), CM group (xenogeneic cross-linked collagen matrix graft on I3) and CM-control group (contralateral side in the CM group). At 4 weeks after surgery, 6 incisors were splinted and proclined for 4 weeks, followed by 16 weeks of retention. At 24 weeks after surgery, casts were made and compared with those made before surgery, and radiographic and histomorphometric analyses were performed. Results: Despite the proclination of the incisal tip (by approximately 3 mm), labial gingival recession did not occur. The labial gingiva was thicker in the AT group (1.85±0.50 mm vs. 1.76±0.45 mm, P>0.05) and CM group (1.90±0.33 mm vs. 1.79±0.20 mm, P>0.05) than in their respective control groups. Conclusions: The level of the labial gingival margin did not change following labial proclination of incisors in dogs. Both the AT and CM groups showed enhanced gingival thickness.

Occlusal disease is comparable to periodontitis in that it is generally not reversible. Occlusal disease, however, like periodontitis, often maintainable. It does itself to treatment and when restorative dentistry is utilized it becomes, in that sense, reversible. Moreover, a systematized and integrated approach will lead to a prognosis that is favorable and predictable. This approach facilitates development of optimum oral function, comfort, and esthetics, resulting in a satisfied patient. Such a systematized approach consists of four logical phase : (1) patient evaluation, (2) comprehensive analysis and treatment planning, (3) integrated and systematic reconstruction, and (4) postoperative maintenance. An integrated treatment plan is first developed on one set of diagnostic casts, properly mounted on a semiadjustable articulator using jaw relationship records. This is accomplished by using wax to make reconstructive modifications to the casts. These modified casts become the blueprint for planned occlusal changes and the fabrication of provisional restorations. The treatment goals are : (1) comfortably functioning temporomandibular joints and stomatognathic musculature, (2) adherence to the basic principle of occlusion advocated by Schuyler, (3) anterior guidance that is in harmony with the envelope of function, (4) restorations that will not violate the patient's neutral zone. This report shows the treatment procedures for a patient whose mandibular position has been altered due to posterior bite collapse. Migration of the maxillary anterior teeth had occurred, and the posterior occlusal contacts showed pathologic interference. Precise diagnosis using mounted casts was executed and prosthodontic reconstruction by the aid of an unconventional orthodontic correction on maxillary flaring was planned. An unconventional orthodontic correction can be accomplished by using preexisting natural teeth, which can be modified for use in active tooth movement or splinted together for orthodontic anchorage. This technique has an advantage over conventional fixed appliance orthodontic therapy because it can accomplish tooth movement concurrently with restorative and periodontal therapy. On occasion, minor tooth movement can be necessary to achieve the optimum occlusal scheme, crown form, and tooth position for the forces of occlusion to be displaced down the long axis of the periodontally compromised teeth. Once the occlusion, periodontal health, and crown contours for the provisional splinted restoration are acceptable, the final splinted restoration can be similarly fabricated, and it becomes an excellent orthodontic retainer.

The labiomandibulotomy approch to the oral cavity and oropharygeal region was first described by Roux in 1836 and become popular for oral and oropharyngeal tumors in cases where there are no clinical and radiological signs of mandible invasion. Anterior labiomandibulotomy and swing procedure provides excellent access and facilitate a mandibular resection and subsequent repair. In last two years, 8 cases of oral and oropharyngeal tumors were treated by this approach at the Dept. of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Holy Family Hospital, Catholic University of Korea. And we analyzed postoperative complications as well as functional evaluations, and the results were as follows; In 4 cases, marginal mandibulectomy were combined with labiomandibulotomy and in case of malignancies, neck dissection was performed simultaneously. In almost case, plate and miniscrew fixation was used for osteotomy sites. Histologic evaluation of the resection margins of the specimens revealed tumor free in all cases. The postoperative complications were occured in 3 cases, one case of nonunion, one case of orocutaneous fistula, and one case of wound dehisence. Occlusal stability, jaw movement and swallowing function were acceptable postoperatively in 3 months. From above results, we concluded that, this approach not only provides wide exposure, permitting radical removal of benign and malignant lesions but also preserves function with minimal complications.

연구 목적: 저작 및 하악 운동시 발생되는 치아접촉은 치열의 보존, 하악의 안정과 보철 수복과정에 있어서 중요하다. 이에 한국인의 20-30대 성인을 대상으로 최대교두감합위에서의 치아접촉점의 위치 및 교합유도양상과 교합유도치의 분포를 분석하여 알아보고자 한다. 연구 대상 및 방법: 29명의 성인을 대상으로 하악의 최대교두감합위에서의 치아접촉점의 위치와 분포 및 전방운동시 교합접촉양상을 shimstock foil (Whaledent, Langenau, Germany), T-Scan III (Tekscan Inc., Boston, MA, USA), polyvinylsiloxane registration material (Genie Bite, Sultan Healthcare, Hackensack, NJ, USA)을 이용하여 측정하였다. 측정시 자세는 직립위로 Frankfurt horizontal plane과 지면이 수평이 되도록 앉게 하였으며 접촉이 재현될 때까지 수 차례 반복한 후 3회씩 측정하였다. 최대교두감합위에서 세가지 방법 간의 통계적 유의성을 비교하기 Fisher's Exact Test (R-General Public License, ver. 2.14.1)를 이용하였고, 전방 운동시 Pearson's Test를 통해 통계 검증하였다(${\alpha}=.05$). 결과: 최대교두감합위에서의 치아 접촉 양상을 shimstock foil, T-Scan III, polyvinylsiloxane registration material로 측정시 전치부, 소구치부, 구치부 모두에서 접촉하는 경우가 대부분이었으며, shimstock 사용시 약51%의 최대교두감합위는 전치부 접촉에서 일어났다. Shimstock foil과 T-Scan III를 사용하여 전방운동 측정시 중절치의 접촉이 가장 많이 일어났다. 결론: 최대교두감합위에서 실제 모든 치아의 접촉이 이루어지지 않는 경우가 있었으며 따라서 구치부에서 전치부를 보호해 주고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 전방운동 시 전치부의 치아접촉은 과도한 구치부의 치아접촉을 방지해 전치부가 구치부를 보호해 주고 있었다. 따라서 교합 재구성 시에는 이러한 상호 보호 교합에 대한 고려가 필요하다.

Many types of occlusal splints are used for treatment of craniomandibular disorders. Most widely used splint among them is flat-type centric relation splint. Insertion of splint into the mouth may cause increasing of vertical dimension, masticatory muscle realignment and rearrangement of maxillo-mandibular relationship, so as a result of splint treatment, occlusal relation may vary whether you like it or not. From this point of view, occlusal state of patient shold be frequently monitored to prevent undesired or harmful effect during occlusal splint therapy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of occlusal splint, especially centric relation splint, on the occlusal contact state after 3 months treatment. 32 patients with craniomandibular disorders who had unilateral symptoms participated in this study. To observe and record occlusal contact state, the author used T-Scan system (Tekscan Co. U.S.A.) at both pretreatment and posttreatment. The recorded date were analyzed with regard to contact number, contact force and contact time, change of anterior tooth contact and coincidence of first contact point with affected side were observed, too. Aan last, the subjects were divided into 2 groups and compared, according to average value of VAS index, with respect to joint pain, sound and limitation of movement, respectively. The collected date were statistically processed with SPSS and the result as follows : 1. Total occlusal contact number and force were not changed by occlusal splint therapy but total occlusal contact time decreased slightly. 2. There was a tendency of increasing number of subjects with anterior tooth contact after treatment and change of first contact point side were observed in as many as 40.6% of subjects. 3. There were no difference between higher and lower group of VAS index, and between pretreatment and posttreatment in each group, either.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate effect of head posture change on initial occlusal contacts through measuring the distances between initial occlusal contacts and maximum intercuspal position at different head posture. Two special devices were designed and constructed. Mandibular movement replicator was used to assess reliability of the K6 diagnostic system(MKG; Myo-tronic Inc, Seatle, USA) and head posture calibrator was used to maintain the constant head posture during experiment. We measured difference of distance between initial occlusal contact and maximum intercuspal position with MKG in upright, supine, 45 degrees extension, 30 degrees flexion, 30 degrees right and left bending postion of the head. The Frankfurt horizontal plane was used as a reference plane. 21 adults aged from 23 to 25 were selected, who have normal or class I molar relationship, and have no symptoms on TMJ and masticatory muscles, and have restorations less than 3 surfaces on each tooth, and have no other prosthetic restoration. The obtained results were as follows : The mean absolute distances between initial occlusal contact and maximum intercuspal postion were 0.39(0.18mm in the upright position, 0.65(0.37mm in the supine position, 0.59(0.33mm in the 45 degree extension, 0.70(0.53mm in the 30 degrees flexion, 1.12(1.10mm in the 30 degrees right bending and 1.94(0.67mm in the 30 degrees left bending of the head. The positions of the initial occlusal contacts have a tendency to locate anterior, left and inferior to maximal intercuspal position in upright position, posterior and inferior in supine position and 45 degrees extension, anterior and inferior in 30 degrees flexion, right and inferior in 30 degrees right bending, and left and inferior in 30 degrees left bending of the head. There were significant differences among the initial occlusal contacts in each head postures(P<0.0001). Therefore, we need to check initial occlusal contacts in the altered head posture during occlusal analysis and adjustment of occlusal appliance and dental occlusion for diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular disorder.

Root resorption can be caused by several factors, including contact with the cortical bone. Here we report a case involving a 21-year-old female with Angle Class II, division 1 malocclusion who exhibited significant root resorption in the maxillary right central incisor after orthodontic treatment. The patient presented with significant left-sided deviation of the maxillary incisors due to lingual dislocation of the left lateral incisor and a Class II molar relationship. Cephalometric analysis demonstrated a Class I skeletal relationship (A point-nasion-B point, 2.5°) and proclined maxillary anterior teeth (upper incisor to sella-nasion plane angle, 113.4°). The primary treatment objectives were the achievement of stable occlusion with midline agreement between the maxillary and mandibular dentitions and appropriate maxillary anterior tooth axes and molar relationship. A panoramic radiograph obtained after active treatment showed significant root resorption in the maxillary right central incisor; therefore, we performed cone-beam computed tomography, which confirmed root resorption along the cortical bone around the incisive canal. The findings from this case, where different degrees of root resorption were observed despite comparable degrees of orthodontic movement in the bilateral maxillary central incisors, suggest that the incisive canal could be an inducing factor for root resorption. However, further investigation is necessary to confirm this assumption.
