Ectopic eruption is defined as abnormal eruption and results in malpositioned teeth and abnormal root resorption of adjacent teeth. Ectopic eruption, first reported by Chapman, occurs in 3% of the population and that mostly in the maxilla. Etiologic factors include narrow maxilla, large maxillary teeth, retarded calcification of the first molar, inclined eruption path of the first molar and retruded position of the maxilla. Impaction of the second molar is rare and occurs mostly in the mandible. Major causes are large teeth and insufficient arch length. Halterman has devised a method of distalizing a ectopically erupting first molar by cementing a band on the second deciduous molar with a hook soldered and a button bonded to the occlusal surface of the first permanent molar. Ectopically erupted posterior teeth should be treated early to maintain normal development of the dentition, harmony of facial growth and occlusal support, a failure to do so could result in severe malocclusion, periodontal damage and continued root resorption of the adjacent teeth. Early detection and treatment is thus vital. The author is submitting this report as he has obtained favorable results in treating a patient who came to the SNUDH Dept. of Pediatric Dentistry complaining of the first molar by using a modified Halterman appliance.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the interrelationship of the experimental group and control group by analyzing case histories, intraoral radiographs, orthopantomographs, intraoral slide films and dental casts. The data for this study were complied from 654 outpatients of the Department of Orthodontics, Seoul National University Hospital. The following conclusions were obtained. 1. When one or more thins molar teeth were congenitally missing, the incidence of the other congenitally missing teeth was high. 2. The frequency of congenitally missing teeth was comparatively higher in male, maxilla, class II and class III. 3. The congenitally missing srea of the third molar by Angle's classification was not significant. 4. The order of frequency of congenitally missing teeth was the third molar, the second premolar, the lateral incisor, the first premolar, the central incisor, the canine, the first molar, the second molar.

The researcher worked with a total of 158 high school girls visiting the scaling practice room at the department of dental hygiene in Jinju Health college from November 11, 2002 to December 4, 2002, having their teeth scaled, observing their teeth and interviewing them with the aid of questionnaires. The findings can be summarized as follows. 1. The survey on the understanding of dental health and the attitudes of the subjects shows the following results : "I have never learned how to brush teeth" (65.8%: 104 girls); "I brush my teeth twice a day" (57.0%: 90 girls) : "I brush my teeth for 2 minutes"(44.3%: 70 girls): "I brush my teeth vertically and horizontally" (53.2%: 84 girls): "( brush my teeth, gum and tongue" (462%: 73 girls): "I use one brush for two months" (40.5%: 64 girls); "I don't have any floss" (582%: 92 girls): "I have never had my teeth scaled" (84.2%: 133girls) : "Smoking is bad for the teeth" (77.8%: 123 girls): "Drinking is bad for the teeth" (48.7%: 77 girls): "I have ever visited dental clinics" (92.4%: 146 girls). 2. The study on part of the teeth most exposed to caries shows the following results : Mandibular right first molar(79.8%: 126 girls): Mandibular left first molar(77.5%: 124 girls), Mandibular left second molar(70.2%: 111 girls). Mandibular right second molar(65.7%: 104 girls). Maxillary left first molar(59.5%: 94 girls): Maxillary left second molar(59.5%: 94 girls): Maxillary right first molar(58.2%: 92 girls). Maxillary right second molar(50.7%: 80 girls) 3. The statistics on the subjects' caries show the following results: DMF rate: 943%: DMFT rate: 25.61%: DMFT index: 7.17 teeth : DT rate: 4651%: FT rate: 52.25%: MT rate: 124% 4. The survey on dental caries statistics, dental health, dental health behavior, and the subjects' attitudes shows the following results: The worse the subjects' dental health was(r=-327, p<.001), the more they visited dental clinics(r=.195, p<.05), the higher DMT rate, DMFT index were; The more the subjects visited dental clinics(r =.359, p<.001), the higher DT rate was; The worse the subjects teeth went(r=-.197, p<.05), the higher MT rate was. It is necessary that systematic and substantial dental health education for high school students should be carried out in regard to plaque control, fluoride application, diet control, pit & fissure sealant as a part of developing national health policies designed for the dental health of the teenagers.

The author has sought to determine the time and the sequence of permanent teeth eruption in Korean children. The study group consisted of 15,671 healthy children (male 8,015 ; female 7,656) aged 5-13 years old who lived in Seoul or Cheongju. The results were as follows : 1. The eruption times of permanent teeth were 0.45 years earlier in females than in males. 2. The ages corresponding to $ER_{50}$ of permanent teeth were as follows : In Maxilla 1) central incisor was 7.37 yrs 2) lateral incisor was 8.50 yrs 3) canine was 10.83 yrs 4) 1st premolar was 10.30 yrs 5) 2nd premolar was 11.09 yrs 6) 1st molar was 6.49 yrs 7) 2nd molar was 12.79 yrs In Mandible 1) central incisor was 6.40 yrs 2) lateral incisor was 7.41 yrs 3) canine was 10.18 yrs 4) 1st premolar was 10.26 yrs 5) 2nd premolar was 11.15 yrs 6) 1st molar was 6.32 yrs 7) 2nd molar was 12.05 yrs 3. The eruption sequence of permanent teeth by Z-test was as follow: In Male 1st : Mandibular 1st molar, and Mandibular central incisor 2nd : Maxillary 1st molar 3rd : Maxillary central incisor 4th : Mandibular lateral incisor 5th : Maxillary lateral incisor 6th : Mandibular canine, Maxillary and Mandibular 1st premolar 7th : Maxillary canine 8th : Maxillary and Mandibular 2nd premolar 9th : Mandibular 2nd molar 10th : Maxillary 2nd molar In Female 1st : Mandibular 1st molar, and Mandibular central incisor 2nd : Maxillary 1st molar 3rd : Mandibular lateral incisor, Maxillary central incisor 4th : Maxillary lateral incisor 5th : Mandibular canine, Maxillary and Mandibular 1st premolar 6th : Maxillary canine 7th : Maxillary and Mandibular 2nd premolar 8th : Mandibular 2nd molar 9th : Maxillary 2nd molar 4. The corresponding permanent teeth in the mandible generally erupted earlier than the corresponding permanent teeth in the maxilla by an average of 0.73 years, but the mean eruption time of mandibular 1st premolars was almost the same as those of maxillary 1st premolars, and the mean eruption time of mandibular 2nd premolars was 0.06 years later than those of maxillary 2nd premolars. 5. There is no significant difference between left and right arch in the eruption time and sequence. 6. Generally, the ages of permanent teeth eruption tended to be earlier than those of Dr. Cha's data from 1963.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in occlusal force after loss of the lower first molar depending on the inclination and extrusion of the adjacent and opposing teeth by using a strain gauge. Materials and Methods: Anatomic teeth were used to reconstruct the normal dental arch with loss of the lower right first molar. A uniformly thick layer of silicone was applied to the root to mimic the periodontal ligament. Four stages of dies with varying degrees of inclination and extrusion of the adjacent and opposing teeth were constructed and attached to master model interchangeably by using a CAD/CAM fabricated customized die system. The strain gauges were attached to teeth and a universal testing machine was used to determine the changes in occlusal force. An independent t-test and one-way ANOVA were performed (${\alpha}=.05$). Results: While simulating chewing food, the upper first, second premolar and lower second molar showed greater occlusal force than before extraction. When the change of adjacent teeth's occlusal force with their progressive movement after molar loss was evaluated, the difference among four die models was significant and was in the decreasing aspect (P < 0.05). Conclusion: When the lower first molar was lost and the adjacent teeth did not move yet, the occlusal force in adjacent teeth was higher than that when the lower first molar still existed. In addition, the occlusal force in the upper premolars and lower second molar decreased significantly with the progressive movement of adjacent teeth.

We report the treatment of an adult Class II malocclusion with severe crowding and a hopeless lower second molar. According to the treatment plan, 4 premolars and 4 third molars were to be extracted for 2-jaw surgery. To replace the hopeless lower second molar, one upper third molar was successfully autotransplanted during the pre-surgical orthodontic treatment. Multiple teeth are frequently extracted for treatment purposes in adult surgical cases. Under precise diagnosis, the reuse of extracted teeth to replace missing teeth can be a successful alternative even in adult surgical patients.

The first function of occlusion is mastication. Therefore the functional restoration of occlusal surface is very important. The restoration of occlusal surface is three method as wax bite technique, F.G.P. technique, cone technique. Many dental technician is using compound method. I am using compound method of wax bite technique and cone technique. I have knew common point on each teeth during I have waxing up wax pattern. So I studied on the design waxup technique for mandible molar occlusion. The results of the study were as follows; 1. The dam wax up method can restore axial contour of teeth very easy and make short working time of wax pattern. 2. The height of dam must be same with cusp of adjacent teeth. 3. Automatically the contour of tooth is appeared if the contour of dam is relationship with cuspid line of adjacent teeth. 4. The height of contour of buccal, lingual surface is formed natural curve to add fluid wax by gravitation. 5. The development groove of mandible first premolar is appeared V form. 6. The development groove of mandible second premolar is appeared Y form. 7, The development groove of mandible first molar is appeared M form. 8. The development groove of mandible second molar is W form. 9. The embrasure is formed to carve around contact point area as round convex. It affects to axial form of tooth. 10. The buccal, lingual groove of molar is formed parallel with direction of teeth arrangement.
