This study was done to analyze the occlusal curve as one of the factors to be considered for maintenance of occlusal stability in the orthodontic and prosthodontic treatments. Sixty gnathological casts we.e obtained from 43 subjects with normal occlusion and 17 subjects with some of temporomandibular disorders. The occlusal surfaces of gnathologic casts were duplicated by using a Color kit SK-700 and tile reference points of X, Y coordinates were digitized by using the Summagraphic digitizer and 18AT computer system. The Z coordinates of cusp height were measured by 0.01mm measurable caliper. The mathematical computer program of least square method was used to analyze the occlusal curve arranged by three dimensional coordinates of X, Y, Z. The following results were obtained : 1. The occlusal curve of buccal and lingual cusp tips was fitted to the ellipse, and the occlusal curve of anterior teeth was fitted to a part of the circle in the analysis of conic sections. 2. The radius of Spee's curve showed individual differences, but was average 98.7mm in male subjects and 93.7mm in female subjects. 3. The radius fo Spee's curve according to the half of canine width showed the least coefficient of variation. 4. The radius of Spee's curve was not significantly relative to the lateral occlusal contacts on laterotrusion and the absence or presence of temporomandibular disorders. 5. The radius of Wilson's curve showed individual difference and the size of radius was followed by the order of 1st premolar, 2nd premolar, 2nd molar and 1st molar.

The purpose of this study was three-fold: i) to investigate the degree of asymmetry in Angle's Class III malocclusion patients and normal adults; ii) to determine the nature of difference existed between two groups; and iii) to investigate the correlationship between the degree of asymmetry and ANB and overbite in Angle's Class III malocclusion patients. The subjects consisted of 25 Angle's Class III malocclusion patients and 25 normal adults and the mean ages were 22.0 and 24.5 years, respectively. Their posteroanterior and lateral cephalograms were traced and analysed with three-dimensional approach. The results were as follows: 1. Asymmetry of Angle's Class III malocclusion group was significant in all regions except cranial base. Their horizontal asymmetry was seen in mandibular angle, maxillary and mandibular 1st molar, mandibular midline and menton. Vertical asymmetry was observed in maxillary 1st molar and mandibular shape and anteroposterior asymmetry in mandibular angle. 2. Nine variables indicating asymmetry were selected and each variable had similar discriminant score. 3. There was a little correlationship between An and asymmetric variable(MSR-B6) and its correlation coefficients was 0.3564. 4. There was no significant correlationship between overbite and asymmetric variables.

This study investigated the effects of cantilever length, location and load condition on stress distribution developed in the implants, prostheses and supporting tissues. The osseointegrated prostheses with two 10mm Branemark implants at 2nd premolar and 1st molar sites with cantilever extensions at 1st premolar, 2nd and 3rd molar sites were constructed. Under 100N, 200N of vertical and $45^{\circ}$ oblique loads at the cantilever pontics, stress distribution patterns and displacement were analyzed with three dimensional finite element method. The results were as follows : 1. The stress was concentrated at the joint of the cantilever pontic and implant superstructure, the neck of implant and the ridge crest near the cantilever But there was little load transfer to the lower supporting tissues of implants. 2. The implant near the cantilever was displaced inferiorly while the implant far from the cantilever was displaced superiorly. In horizontal direction the implants were displaced to the direction where the loads were applied, except the apexes of the implants. 3. In case of anterior cantilever, the stress and displacement were higher than the prosthesis connected with natural tooth. 4. The stress developed in the posterior cantilevered type was higher than in the anterior cantilevered type. The greastest stress was concentrated at the ridge crest near the posterior cantilever. 5. The longer the cantilever, the more the stress was developed and was concentrated at the joint of the cantilever pontic and implant superstructure. 6. Under oblique load, the stress was concentrated at the necks of implants and the ridge crests, but decreased at the joint of the cantilever pontic and implant superstructure than under vertical load.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the accuracy of a new implant impression technique using bite impression coping and a dual arch tray. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Two implant fixtures were placed on maxillary left second premolar and first molar area in dentoform model. The model with two fixtures was used as the reference. The impression was divided into 2 groups, n=10 each. In group 1, heavy/light body silicone impression was made with pick up impression copings and open tray. In group 2, putty/light body silicone impression was made with bite impression copings and dual arch tray. The reference model and the master casts with implant scan bodies were scanned by a laboratory scanner. Surface tessellation language (STL) datasets from test groups was superimposed with STL dataset of reference model using inspection software. The three-dimensional deviation between the reference model and impression models was calculated and illustrated as a color-map. Data was analyzed by independent samples T-test of variance at ${\alpha}=.05$. RESULTS. The mean 3D implant deviations of pick up impression group (group 1) and dual arch impression group (group 2) were 0.029 mm and 0.034 mm, respectively. The difference in 3D deviations between groups 1 and 2 was not statistically significant (P=.075). CONCLUSION. Within limitations of this study, the accuracy of implant impression using a bite impression coping and dual arch tray is comparable to that of conventional pick-up impression.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of low-power laser irradiation on the periodontium of the orthodontically moved tooth of rat. The experimental materials were 30 male rats. Orthodontic appliances were placed bilaterally between maxillary first molar and incisor teeth and the force was 1 Oz. Experimental animals were divided into eight groups as follows: no movement, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 14th, and 28th day groups. In all experimental animals except no movement group, low-power laser was irradiated on the unilateral maxillary first molar (experimental side), but on the contralateral side, only orthodontic force was applied (control side). The histologic effects of laser on the periodontium of the orthodontically moved tooth on the consecutive experimental days were as follows: In the experimental side, by the biostimulating effect of laser, 1. Hyalinized tissue was formed later and eliminated earlier than in the control side. 2. Undermining bone resorption was occurred earlier than in the control side. 3. More osteoid tissue was deposited and calcified earlier than in the control side. 4. The most prominent changes were formation of new blood vessels and dilatation of old blood vessels.
