Objective: To evaluate the null hypothesis that there is no difference in a set of clinical predictors of potentially impacted canines between low-risk patients with and without displaced canines. Methods: The normal canine position group consisted of 30 patients with 60 normally erupting canines ranked in sector I (age, 9.30 ± 0.94 years). The displaced canine group comprised 30 patients with 41 potentially impacted canines ranked in sectors II to IV (age, 9.46 ± 0.78 years). Maxillary lateral incisor crown angulation, inclination, rotation, width, height, and shape, as well as palatal depth, arch length, width, and perimeter composed a set of clinical predictors, which were evaluated on digital dental casts. Statistical analyses consisted of group comparisons and variable correlations (p < 0.05). Results: There was a significant association between sex and mesially displaced canines. Unilateral canine displacement was more prevalent than bilateral displacement. The crown of the maxillary lateral incisors was significantly angulated more mesially and rotated mesiolabially in low-risk patients with displaced canines, who also had a shallower palate and shorter anterior dental arch length. Lateral incisor crown angulation and rotation, as well as palatal depth and arch length, were significantly correlated with the canine displacement severity. Conclusions: The null hypothesis was rejected. Maxillary lateral incisor angulation inconsistent with the "ugly duckling" stage as well as a shallow palate and short arch length are clinical predictors that can significantly contribute to the early screening of ectopic canines in low-risk patients.

Purpose: To investigate the influence of crown margin design on the stress distribution and to localize critical sites in maxillary canine under functional loading by using three dimensional finite element analysis. Materials and Methods: The bite force of 100 N, 150 N, and 200 N was applied with an angulation of $45^{\circ}$ to the longitudinal axis of tooth. Six models were restored with IPS e.max (Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) with a different margin design. With lingual ledge and various thicknesses, three different core ceramics were designed in each model. Result: In the core ceramic, the maximum tensile stresses were found at the labiocervical region. In the veneering ceramic the maximum tensile stresses were found at the area where the force was applied in all models. Conclusion: Shoulder and chamfer margin types are acceptable for all-ceramic rehabilitations. A ledge on the core ceramic at cervical region may affect the strength of all-ceramic crowns.

교정 치료 후 이상적인 교합과 양호한 심미적 결과를 얻기 위해서 일반적으로 교정 장치 제거하기 4개월에서 7개월 전에 detailing을 시행한다. 이와 같은 과정을 finishing이라고 하며, 이 과정은 최종적인 양호한 결과를 얻는데 있어서 필수적이다. 일부 교정의는 finishing을 위한 특별한 이론적 근거 및 기준 없이 이 과정을 교정 치료의 마지막 단계에서 시행하면 되는 것으로 여기고 있다. 그러나, 최종적인 양호한 교정 치료 결과를 얻기 위해서는finishing 과정이 총 치료 계획의 부분으로 치료의 초기 단계에서부터 고려되어야만 하며, 교정 장치 제거를 위한 이론적 근거 및 기준에 근거한 finishing을 위한 checklist가 필요하다. 이 checklist는 크게 네 부류로 분류할 수 있다. 즉, 교합 요인, 심미적 요인, 치주적 요인과 습관적 요인으로 분류할 수 있다. 교합 요인에서 점검해야할 요소로는 alignment, marginal ridge discrepancy, interproximal contact, anterior inclination, posterior inclination, overjet, overbite, arch form과 functional occlusion 등이 있다. 심미적 요인에는 gingival form, crown form, crown width과 crown length 등이 있다. 치주적 요인에는 root angulation, bone level 등이 있다. 습관적 요인에는 mouth breathing, tongue position at rest, tongue thrust habit, lip biting, nail biting과 finger sucking 등이 있다.

PURPOSE. This study compared the accuracy of an abutment-framework (A-F) taken with open tray impression technique combining cement-on crown abutments, a metal framework and resin cement to closed tray and resin-splinted open tray impression techniques for the 3-implant definitive casts. The effect of angulation on the accuracy of these 3 techniques was also evaluated. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Three definitive casts, each with 3 linearly positioned implant analogs at relative angulations 0, 30, and 40 degrees, were fabricated with passively fitted corresponding reference frameworks. Ten impressions were made and poured, using each of the 3 techniques on each of the 3 definitive casts. To record the vertical gap between reference frameworks and analogs in duplicate casts, a light microscope with image processing was used. Data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance and the Tukey test. RESULTS. The open tray techniques showed significantly smaller vertical gaps compare to closed tray technique (P < .05). The closed tray and the resin-splinted open tray technique showed significantly different vertical gaps according to the angulation of implant (P < .05), but the A-F impression technique did not (P > .05). CONCLUSION. The accuracy of the A-F impression technique was superior to that of conventional techniques, and was not affected by the angulation of the implants.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to observe stress concentration in the implant, the surrounding bone, and other components under the pull-out force during the crown removal. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Two 3-dimensional models of implant-supported conventional metal ceramic crowns were digitally constructed. One model was designed as a vertically placed implant ($3.7mm{\times}10mm$) with a straight abutment, and the other model was designed as a 30-degree inclined implant ($3.7mm{\times}10mm$) with an angled abutment. A pull-out force of 40 N was applied to the crown. The stress values were calculated within the dental implant, the abutment, the abutment screw, and the surrounding bone. RESULTS. The highest stress concentration was observed at the coronal portion of the straight implant (9.29 MPa). The stress concentrations at the cortical bone were lower than at the implants, and maximum stress concentration in bone structure was 1.73 MPa. At the abutment screws, the stress concentration levels were similiar (3.09 MPa and 3.44 MPa), but the localizations were different. The stress at the angled abutment was higher than the stress at the straight abutment. CONCLUSION. The pull-out force, applied during a crown removal, did not show an evident effect in bone structure. The higher stress concentrations were mostly observed at the implant and the abutment collar. In addition, the abutment screw, which is the weakest part of an implant system, also showed stress concentrations. Implant angulation affected the stress concentration levels and localizations. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS. These results will help clinicians understand the mechanical behavior of cement-retained implant-supported crowns during crown retrieval.

The purposes of this study were to evaluate the changes in root canal configuration with canal instrumentation using different file types and techniques and to investigate most appropriate instrumentation technique in maintaining the original canal configuration with different file types. Fifty curved mesiobuccal or distobuccal canals of extracted human maxillary molar teeth were instrumented using a step-back technique with stainless steel K-files or nickel-titanium K-files, a crown-down pressureless technique with stainless steel K-files or nickel-titanium K-files and nickel-titanium engine-driven files. Radiographs were taken before and after instrumentation using a specially designed device that allowed for the pre-and postinstrumentation canals to be taken with the same X-ray angulation. Magnified X-ray images on a magnifier screen were traced and post instrumentation canal images were compared with the preinstrumentation ones. Changes in canal curvature and the incidence of procedural accidents were analyzed. The results were as follows : Crown-down pressureless technique with nickel-titanium K-files and nickel-titanium engine-driven filing produced no significant changes in canal curvature (p>0.05), while the step-back technique with stainless steel K-files or nickel-titanium K-files (p<0.01) and the crown-down pressureless technique with stainless steel K-files (p<0.05) produced significant changes. With nickel-titanium K-file, crown-down pressureless technique produced significantly less changes in canal curvature than step-back technique (p<0.05), while there was no significant difference between techniques with stainless steel K-files (p>0.05). File types exerted no significant influences in the changes of canal curvature both in the step-back technique and crown-down pressureless technique (0>0.05). Regardless of the file types used, step-back technique produced more procedural accidents such as ledge or elbow formation, apical zipping and apical transportation than the crowndown pressureless technique and nickel-titanium engine-driven filing. Both with stainless steel K-files and with nickel-titanium K-files, the incidence of apical extrusion of canal debris was higher in step-back technique than in crown-down pressureless technique.

The purpose of this study was to obtain the lingual morphology (size, angulation, contour, eminence) of adults with normal occlusion in order to provide the basic data for lingual bracket and lingual arch form in Korean. The subjects (Male: 50, Female: 50) were selected who have normal occlusion and dental casts were prepared. Tooth size, angulation, arch width, horizontal contour, lingual eminence were measured for all 28 teeth both upper and lower arch. The results were as follows: 1. Measuring items of all individual teeth for adults with normal occlusion were obtained. 2. In comparison tests, there was a statistically difference between intermolar widths $(\underline{6}\;to\;\underline{6})$ before occlusal reduction and intermolar width $(\underline{6}\;to\;\underline{6},\underline{7}\;to\;\underline{7})$ after occlusal reduction only all the other measuring items showed no statistically differences. 3. There was small variation in horizontal contour of lingual surface on lower incisors and upper and lower bicuspids. The other teeth showed somewhat greater variations. 4. There was offset between canine and bicuspid in upper arch while there was no prominent offset in lower arch.

연구 목적: 임플란트 나사선 경사각이 치조골의 응력분포에 미치는 영향을 검토하여 어떤 임플란트가 응력분산에 유리한 지 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 피치는 0.8 mm로 일정하게 하고 나사선의 줄(thread) 수를 다르게 하여 나사선 경사각의 변화를 준 1줄 나사선 임플란트(single thread type: 경사각 $3.8^{\circ}$)와 2줄 나사선 임플란트(double thread type: 경사각 $7.7^{\circ}$) 그리고 3줄 나사선 임플란트(triple thread type: 경사각 $11.5^{\circ}$)의 세 가지 모델을 통해 3차원 유한요소 응력분석을 시행하였다. 임플란트가 치조골의 치아 장축에 대하여 $0^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$ 경사지게 식립된 것으로 가정하여 9 가지 모델을 만들었다. 200 N의 수직 방향의 하중과, 200 N의 임의의 $15^{\circ}$ 경사 하중을 가한 경우에 임플란트와 치조골에서 발생된 응력분포를 3차원 유한요소법으로 분석하였다. 결과:1. 임플란트의 경사 식립 각도가 클수록 치조골과 임플란트의 등가응력(von-Mises stress)과 최대주응력이 높게 나타났다. 2. 수직하중보다 경사하중을 가할 경우 치조골과 임플란트의 등가응력과 최대주응력이 높게 나타났다. 3. 임플란트의 나사선 줄 수가 증가할수록 응력분산 효과가 커서 등가응력과 최대주응력의 크기가 감소되었다. 4. 치조골에 작용하는 최대주응력의 크기는 수직하중 시에나 경사하중 시에 3줄 나사선을 가진 임플란트가 가장 작고 다음으로 2줄 또는 1줄 나사선의 순으로 나타나 3줄 나사선의 경우가 가장 우수한 결과를 보였다. 결론: 이상의 결과는 3줄 나사선 임플란트가 1줄 및 2줄 나사선 임틀란트보다 응력분산 효과 면에서 우수하며, $10^{\circ}$ 이상 경사지게 식립된 경우에라도 나사선 경사각이 커지면서 줄 수가 증가할수록 치조골에서 발생하는 최대 주응력 값이 감소하므로 임플란트 나사선 줄 수와 경사각을 최적화함으로써 임플란트 응력분산에 도움이 될 수 있음을 시사하였다.

Objective: To investigate how bracket slot size affects the direction of maxillary anterior tooth movement when en-masse retraction is performed in sliding mechanics using an induction-heating typodont simulation system. Methods: An induction-heating typodont simulation system was designed based on the Calorific Machine system. The typodont included metal anterior and resin posterior teeth embedded in a sticky wax arch. Three bracket slot groups (0.018, 0.020, and 0.022 inch [in]) were tested. A retraction force of 250 g was applied in the posterior-superior direction. Results: In the anteroposterior direction, the cusp tip of the canine in the 0.020-in slot group moved more distally than in the 0.018-in slot group. In the vertical direction, all six anterior teeth were intruded in the 0.018-in slot group and extruded in the 0.020- and 0.022-in slot groups. The lateral incisor was significantly extruded in the 0.020- and 0.022-in slot groups. Significant differences in the crown linguoversion were found between the 0.018- and 0.020-in slot groups and 0.018- and 0.022-in slot groups for the central incisor and between the 0.018- and 0.022-in slot groups and 0.020- and 0.022-in slot groups for the canine. In the 0.018-in slot group, all anterior teeth showed crown mesial angulation. Significant differences were found between the 0.018- and 0.022-in slot groups for the lateral incisor and between the 0.018- and 0.020-in slot groups and 0.018- and 0.022-in slot groups for the canine. Conclusions: Use of 0.018-in slot brackets was effective for preventing extrusion and crown linguoversion of anterior teeth in sliding mechanics.
