It has been a challenge to establish the accurate diagnosis of developmental tooth anomalies based on periapical radiographs. Recently, three-dimensional imaging by cone beam computed tomography has provided useful information to investigate the complex anatomy of and establish the proper management for tooth anomalies. The most severe variant of dens invaginatus, known as dilated odontome, is a rare occurrence, and the cone beam computed tomographic findings of this anomaly have never been reported for an erupted permanent maxillary central incisor. The occurrence of talon cusp occurring along with dens invaginatus is also unusual. The aim of this report was to show the importance of cone beam computed tomography in contributing to the accurate diagnosis and evaluation of the complex anatomy of this rare anomaly.

Purpose: Pathologic tooth migration (PTM) commonly occurs in the anterior region and is associated with periodontal disease. The treatment of PTM of anterior teeth can be complex and time consuming, and a multidisciplinary approach is often required. Materials and Methods: The patient was a 38-year-old woman with a chief complaint of saving and realigning her elongated maxillary left central incisor. This paper describes the successful combined periodontal regenerative (guided tissue regeneration) and prosthetic treatment and a 2-year follow-up of maxillary central incisor with pathologic tooth migration, deep intrabony defect, and poor prognosis. Results: The right maxillary central incisor was restored by laminate veneer and the left by all-ceramic crown. The patient had no pain and discomfort and was satisfied with the outcomes of her treatment for 2 years. She has maintained her recall program at the Department of Periodontology at 3 months interval. Conclusion: The key step in the successful treatment of PTM in anterior region is to obtain a high level of cooperation from the patient. Maintenance of the treatment result of PTM is dependent on the continuous preservation of periodontal health.

Traumatic injuries to an immature permanent tooth may result in cessation of dentin deposition and root maturation. Endodontic treatment is often complicated in premature tooth with an uncertain prognosis. This article describes successful treatment of two traumatized maxillary central incisors with complicated crown fracture three months after trauma. The radiographic examination showed immature roots in maxillary central incisors of a 9-year-old boy with a radiolucent lesion adjacent to the right central incisor. Apexogenesis was performed for the left central incisor and revascularization treatment was considered for the right one. In 18-month clinical and radiographic follow-up both teeth were asymptomatic, roots continued to develop, and periapical radiolucency of the right central incisor healed. Considering the root development of these contralateral teeth it can be concluded that revascularization is an appropriate treatment method in immature necrotic teeth.

The purpose of this investigation was to analyze the color of natural teeth by means of the OFC-1001 DP colorimeter which could measure in Adams Coordinate System (L,a,b system). The subjects were the 164 persons (82 men and 82 women) ranged from the teen to the sixtieth who had come to infirmary of dental college, Chosun University. The colors of incisal third, middle third and cervical third of maxillary right incisor, maxillary right canine and maxillary right second premolar were examined after the teeth were cleaned, polished and dried. The data were analyzed statistically by means of SPSS (Statistical Package For the Social Science). The results were as follows. 1. The means of L(lightness), a (red chromaticity), b (yellow chromaticity) of all teeth were measured (Table 2,3,4). 2. The color of teeth was yellowish-gray or bluish-gray. 3. The L value and b value of the cervical third was greater than those of the incisal and middle third. 4. The L value of maxillary 2nd premolar was greater than those of maxillary incisor md maxillay canine. 5. The a & b values of maxillary canine were greater than those of maxillary incisor and maxillary 2nd premolar. 6. The average values of L,a,b of teeth between male and female were not significant. 7. The L values of teeth were decreasing and the b values of teeth were increasing as the age was increased, but there was no corelation between the a values and aging.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of the 3-dimensional (3D) superimposition method of digital models in patients who received treatment with rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and maxillary protraction headgear. Methods: The material consisted of pre- and post-treatment maxillary dental casts and lateral cephalograms of 30 patients, who underwent RME and maxillary protraction headgear treatment. Digital models were superimposed using the palate as a reference area. The movement of the maxillary central incisor and the first molar was measured on superimposed cephalograms and 3D digital models. To determine whether any difference existed between the 2 measuring techniques, intra-class correlation (ICC) and Bland-Altman plots were analyzed. Results: The measurements on the 3D digital models and cephalograms showed a very high correlation in the antero-posterior direction (ICC, 0.956 for central incisor and 0.941 for first molar) and a moderate correlation in the vertical direction (ICC, 0.748 for central incisor and 0.717 for first molar). Conclusions: The 3D model superimposition method using the palate as a reference area is as clinically reliable for assessing antero-posterior tooth movement as cephalometric superimposition, even in cases treated with orthopedic appliances, such as RME and maxillary protraction headgear.

과잉치는 정상 치판의 과도한 증식의 결과로 발생하고, 주로 상악 전방부에서 많이 발견되며 이것을 정중과잉치라 칭한다. 정중과잉치의 존재 시 영구 전치의 위치 이상, 정중이개, 낭종의 형성, 구강 및 비강 내로의 맹출 등과 같은 다양한 문제가 존재하게 되므로 발거하는 것이 일반적이다. 본 증례는 외상으로 인해 편측 상악 중절치를 조기에 상실하였고, 매복된 상악 정중과잉치를 가지고 있는 9세 8개월된 남아로, 정중과잉치를 상실된 상악 중절치 부위에 자가이식한 후 보철적으로 수복하여 치조골 흡수를 막고 심미적인 수복을 도모한 증례이다. 이 증례에서 과잉치는 총 길이 14mm로 지대치로 사용하기에는 크기가 작고 치관/치근 비율도 좋지 않아 예후가 불량할 것으로 예상하였으나, 시술 후 8개월의 관찰 기간 동안 양호한 결과를 나타내어 이에 보고하는 바이다.

PURPOSE. The study aims to investigate the influence of the ferrule effect and types of posts on the stress distribution in three morphological types of the maxillary central incisor. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Nine models were created for 3 maxillary central incisor morphology types: "Fat" type - crown 12.5 mm, root 13 mm, and buccolingual cervical diameter 7.5 mm, "Medium" type - crown 11 mm, root 14 mm, and buccolingual cervical diameter 6.5 mm, and "Slim" type - crown 9.5 mm, root 15 mm, and buccolingual cervical diameter 5.5 mm. Each model received an anatomical castable post-and-core or glass-fiber post with resin composite core and three ferrule heights (nonexistent, 1 mm, and 2 mm). Then, a load of 14 N was applied at the cingulum with a 45° slope to the long axis of the tooth. The Maximum Principal Stress and the Minimum Principal Stress were calculated in the root dentin, crown, and core. RESULTS. Higher tensile and compression stress values were observed in root dentin using the metallic post compared to the fiber post, being higher in the slim type maxillary central incisor than in the medium and fat types. Concerning the three anatomical types of maxillary central incisors, the slim type without ferrule height in mm presented the highest tensile stress in the dentin, for both types of metal and fiber posts. CONCLUSION. Post system and tooth morphology were able to modify the biomechanical response of restored endodontically-treated incisors, showing the importance of personalized dental treatment for each case.

상악중절치의 매복은 임상적으로 흔히 볼 수 있다. 대부분의 경우 중절치는 협측에 매복되어 있다. 이러한 협측매복은 치료가 무척 어렵다. 협측매복시 치은퇴축과 부착치은의 상실,치주낭이 발견된다. 따라서 성공적인 치료를 위해서는 외과적 술식을 통해서 부착치은의 소실을 최소화해야 할 것이다. 매복치의 위치와 부착치은의 양에 따라 수술방법으로 간단한 치은절제술(gingivectomy)외에도 필요하면 근단변위판막술(apically positioned flap), 측방변위판막술(laterally positioned flap), 유리치은 이식술(free gingival graft) 등과 같은 여러 판막술과 치아의 생리적인 맹출기전을 복제한 폐쇄 맹출법 (closed eruption technique)을 고려 할 수 있다. 하지만 치은절제술은 근단변위판막술에 비하여 부착치은의 양이 적어 많은 양의 부착치은 이 필요한 경우에는 근단변위판막술이 적응증이며 매복치아가 nasal spine근처에 있을 때는 폐쇄 맹출법을 선택해야 할 것이다. 본 증례에서 두 증례에서는 근단변위 판막술을 한 증례에서는 폐쇄 맹출법을 사용한 바 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 폐쇄 맹출법이 더 심미적이었으나 부착치은의 양은 작았다. 이에 상악 중절치의 매복의 경우에서 올바른 임상적, 방사선학적인 검사를 통해 적응증에 맞는 외과적 수술로써 외과적 견인후 합병증을 최소화할 수 있었다.
