Abstract

The aim of this report is to present an intraoral upper molar distalization system supported with zygomatic anchorage plates (Zygoma-gear Appliance, ZGA). This system was used for a 16-year-old female patient with a Class II molar relationship requiring molar distalization. The system consisted of bilateral zygomatic anchorage plates, an inner-bow and heavy intraoral elastics. Distalization of the upper molars was achieved in 3 months and the treatment results were evaluated from lateral cephalometric radiographs. According to the results of the cephalometric analysis, the maxillary first molars showed a distalization of 4 mm, associated with a distal axial inclination of $4.5^{\circ}$. The results of this study show that an effective upper molar distalization without anchorage loss can be achieved in a short time using the ZGA. We suggest that this new system may be used in cases requiring molar distalization in place of extraoral appliances.

본 증례보고에서는 골격성 II급 관계를 보이는 16세 여자 환자에서 zygomatic-anchorage plates (Zygoma-gear Appliance, ZGA)를 이용하여 상악 구치를 후방 이동시킴 구내 장치를 소개하고자 한다. 이 장치는 양측성 zygomatic anchorage plates, inner-bow와 강한 힘을 내는 구강 내 고무줄로 구성되어 있다. 3개월 내에 상악 구치의 후방 이동이 이루어 졌으며, 측모 두부 방사선 사진 분석 결과, 상악 구치는 4mm 후방 이동, $4.5^{\circ}$ 후방 경사되었다. 본 연구 결과 ZGA 장치를 이용해 고정원 소실 없이 단기간에 상악 구치의 후방 이동이 효과적으로 이루어졌음이 확인되었으며, 이를 통해 구치의 후방 견인이 요하는 증례에서 구외 장치 대신 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
