This study is to determine the exact position of tipping rotation center of root. The method of measurement is to record by means of dial gauge. The different shapes of root of lower second premolar are named as smooth type, tapered type, and curved type. The followings are the result ; 1. The tipping rotation center of the teeth varies with he shape of roots. 2. The rotation center of the root is placed apical one third portion upon roots in the smooth shape of roots, one half portion of roots in the taper shape of roots and below the apical one-third of root in curve shape.

This clinical report describes an orthodontic-prosthodontic interdisciplinary treatment for a patient with multiple missing teeth and unilateral scissors bite. A 47-year-old female presented with multiple missing posterior teeth, anterior large overjet, deep bite, and posterior scissors bite on the right premolar area. Periodontal therapy was performed and followed by orthodontic treatment. The maxillary anterior teeth were initially aligned, then two implants were placed for the left mandibular molars to increase occlusal vertical dimension. The scissors bite between the right maxillary and mandibular premolars were corrected using the miniscrews as an anchorage. Other implants were placed for the right maxillary and mandibular molars after the occlusal planes and occlusal relationship were harmonized. The patient adapted well to altered vertical dimension without any specific problems including peri-implant marginal bone loss. Interdisciplinary approach resolve the complex orthodontic-prosthodontic problems and concluded in successful results.

The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is a rare benign odontogenic neoplasm which was first described by Pindborg in 1955 and accounts for less than 1％ of all odontogenic tumors. The tumor occurs primarily in the molar-premolar region of the mandible, and 52％ of cases are associated with an unerupted tooth. The clinical feature is most commonly a slow-growing painless swelling. The tumor may show considerable radiographic variation and usually characteristic histopathologic features. In this study, we report a case of the calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor on the left mandibular body and ramus area in a 28-year-old male with a brief review of the concerned literatures.

A Case of a supernumerary teeth on the buccal side of upper right and left molar teeth was observed from a 21 years young Korean female. The characteristics were as follows : 1. The site of the occurrence were resemble on the right and left sides. 2. The cusps of the supernumerary tooth on the right side were resemble to the premolar, and the cusp of the left one was added by one more cusp than the normal molar tooth. 3. The supernumerary teeth were smaller than the normal teeth size. 4. The right and left teeth had only one root.

The author made two implant blades of gold alloy metal, and applied CEKA attachment to one blade. These two blades were implanted at the sockets resulting from removal of both 3rd premolar of experimental dog. Simple crown and tooth supporting denture was constructed on the implanted blades the author observed above mentioned procedures for 8 weeks. The obtained results were as follows; 1) There is no remarkable necrosis of supporting alveolar bone on both sides So, metal reaction was favourable. 2) Masticatory force which is loaded on each tooth was not effective on the alveolar bone.

Two brothers aged 15 1/6 and 12 2/3 years were diagnosed as Class I malocclusion with ectopic eruption of the upper left central incisor in the elder brother and etopic eruption in the upper right second premolar in the younger. All 4 second molars were extracted at the same time in both brothers. The treatment results were as follows. 1. In the elder brother, the third molars were fully erupted and their angulations were excellent at 3 years post-treatment. 2. In the younger brother, the lower right third molar was mesially erupted and upper third molars were still undergoing eruption at 3 years post-treatment. 3. Assessment of panex films of both brothers at aged 15 showed an earlier eruption of the third molars in the younger brother. 4. A longer post-treatment supervision of the third molars was required in the younger brother. 5. The facial probiles were enhanced and the ectopic eruptions were corrected in both brothers.

This study was undertaken to determine the adequate bracket position in Korean. The subjects were consisted of casts and photographs of 30 males & 30 famales. They had acceptable profile, normal occlusion, no loss of teeth and no experience of dental treatment. The following conclusions were obtained. 1. In case of no necessity of the posterior teeth movement, bracket angulation was made automatically by paralleling the bracket slot with occlusal plane. 2. Axial inclination of all teeth were measured, and those of canine & premolar were much variable. 3. Adequate bracket position of Korean occlusion were obtained.

This study was undertaken to finish the design of the adequate preadjusted bracket in Korean. The labio-lingual & bucco-lingual width of tooth & in-and-out of the bracket base was studied in normal occlusion of 17 males & 17 females. The following results were obtained. 1. The in-and-outs of the bracket base in Korean were obtained (table 2). 2. The in-and-outs of the premolar & molar were no significant due to variation according to arch wire shape in clinical practice, so the more adjustment of arch wire was required. 3. The more amount of offset was required at lateral-canine offset than at central-lateral offset in 1st order bending, due to difference of the in-and-out. 4. The degrees of the anti-rotation in molar were obtained (table 3).

A human bite-mark shows special feature according to the suspect's dentition. The teeth which most frequently give useful bite-marks are six upper and lower anteriors, while the premolar teeth somtimes give marks it is often difficult to distinguish. The author tried to classify and to analize the anterior dentition which makes the bite-mark directly by means of 672 maxillary and 691 mandibular stone model taken from Korean adult aging from 17 to 40 years old. The results were as follows : 1. There was no particular correlation between the presence of six normal-shaped and correctly positioned upper and lower anteriors and the presence of rotation of teeth. 2. Inter central incisor, inter lateral incisor, inter canine width and angles of adjecent teeth were not identical eath other in studied models. 3. The results of this analysis supported the statement that any bite-mark had no same feature.

Purpose: To measure the differences of the splint pin angulation and the position of the planned implant site after conventional tomographic analysis. Materials and Methods: The angulation and the location of the metal splint pin retained in acrylic stent were compared with the corrected angulation and the location of the implant fixture on the 331 tomographic images. Results: The stent pins were located buccal in 40%, lingual in 10% to the corrected implant site after analysis of the conventional tomographic image. The angle and the location of the maxillary splint pin were mainly directed buccal on incisor and canine regions. The angle and the location of the splint pins in premolar and molar regions needed less corrections in both maxilla and mandible. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the use of tomographs was essential for successful dental implant planning.
