Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical aspects of peri-implant bone upon root contact of orthodontic microimplant. Methods: Axisymmetric finite element modeling scheme was used to analyze the compressive strength of the orthodontic microimplant (Absoanchor SH1312-7, Dentos Inc., Daegu, Korea) placed into inter-radicular bone covered by 1 mm thick cortical bone, with its apical tip contacting adjacent root surface. A stepwise analysis technique was adopted to simulate the response of peri-implant bone. Areas of the bone that were subject to higher stresses than the maximum compressive strength (in case of cancellous bone) or threshold stress of 54.8MPa, which was assumed to impair the physiological remodeling of cortical bone, were removed from the FE mesh in a stepwise manner. For comparison, a control model was analyzed which simulated normal orthodontic force of 5 N at the head of the microimplant. Results: Stresses in cancellous bone were high enough to cause mechanical failure across its entire thickness. Stresses in cortical bone were more likely to cause resorptive bone remodeling than mechanical failure. The overloaded zone, initially located at the lower part of cortical plate, proliferated upward in a positive feedback mode, unaffected by stress redistribution, until the whole thickness was engaged. Conclusions: Stresses induced around a microimplant by root contact may lead to a irreversible loss of microimplant stability.

저작운동을 중추신경계와 말초조직의 작용에의해 일생동안 학습과 적응의 가정을 통해 이루어진다. 저작의 양상은 유치가 구강내에 맹출되면서 이루어지며, 상하악 치아의 접촉, 점막과 혀 및 치아상호간에 일어나는 접촉과 치근막의 고유수용기와 악관절 수용기등에 의해 조정되어 최종적으로 에너지소비가 적고 동통이나 불편함이 없이 최대의 효율을 나타내는 양상으로 된다. 그러나 원활한 저작과 하악은동을 이룩하기 위해서는 저작근, 악관절, 상하악 치아의 교합등이 서로 조화를 이루어야 한다. 만일 외상에 의해 악관절의 기능장애가 오면 저작근활동이 변화하고 이에따라 교합장애를 야기한다. 또한 치아를 상실하거나 대합치아간의 조기접촉이 있으면 교합장애가 원인이 되어 근육활동이 변화와 악관절 기능장애를 초래한다. 그리고 때로는 지나친 근육의 활동(이갈이, 지속적 긴장성 수축)에 의해 지나친 치아의 마모로인한 교합장애나 악관절장애를 일으킬 수 있다. 따라서 하악의 기능을 충분히 이해하기 위해서는 교합의 형태학적 관계와 더불어 저작계의 기능적인 면도 고려하여 그 상호관계를 검토하여야 하며 본문에서는 교합에 관련된 저작근의 작용과 이에 영향을 주는 요인 및 교합장애와 근육활동장애의 연관성에 관해 고찰코자 한다.

치조골과 백악질이 치근막에 의하여 경계되어지지 않고 직접 접촉된 상태인 골유착치는 치조골성장장애, 불안전 맹출, 대합치의 정출, 인접치와의 불안정한 관계 등 다양한 문제를 야기한다. 골유착치의 진단은 방사선 사진에서 치근막의 소실, 타진시의 독특한 소리, periotest를 이용한 동요도 검사 등 다양한 방법이 사용되나 그 신뢰성은 높지 않은 편이다. 따라서 저자는 통산적인 방법은 견인을 시행한 후 견인여부를 평가하여 골유착 여부를 판단하는 임상적 진단법을 사용하고 있다. 골유착치의 치료는 subluxation & extrusion법, autotransplantation법, corticotomy법, segmental osteotomy법, ostectomy법등 다양한 방법이 제시되고 있다. Subluxation & extrusion법은 적용이 간편한 장점이 있으나 골유착의 재발로 인한 교정치료의 실패가능성이 높은 단점이 있다. 본 증례는 다수치의 부분맹출 및 골유착으로 인한 구치부 개방교합이 주소인 환자로 소구치는 통산적인 교정치료법으로 골유착된 대구치는 subluxation & extrusion법을 적용하여 양호한 치료 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to provide clinical guidelines to indicate the best location for mini-implants as it relates to the cortical bone thickness and root proximity. Methods: CT images from 14 men and 14 women were used to evaluate the buccal interradicular cortical bone thickness and root proximity from mesial to the central incisor to the 2nd molar. Cortical bone thickness was measured at 4 different angles including $0^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, and $45^{\circ}$. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in cortical bone thickness between the second premolar/first permanent molar site, central incisor/central incisor site, between the first/second permanent molar site and in the anterior region. A statistically significant difference in cortical bone thickness was also found when the angulation of placement was increased except for the 2 mm level from the alveolar crest. Interradicular spaces at the 1st/2nd premolar, 2nd premolar/1st permanent molar and 1st/2nd permanent molar sites are considered to be wide enough for mini-implant placement without root damage. Conclusions: Given the limits of this study, mini-implants for orthodontic anchorage may be well placed at the 4 and 6 mm level from the alveolar crest in the posterior region with a $30^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ angulation upon placement.

The purpose of this study was to find the distribution and measurement of compressive and tensile stress when intrusi- on arch wire is forced engage with upper canine and to analysis stress at each section through FEM. And we compare compressive and tensile ratio at each section. The results were as follows. 1. At FA point and cemento-enamel junction of upper canine, compressive and tensile force ratio is about the same. 2. At apex, compressive force is the four times as tensile force. ; In intrusion, we show root resorption at apex. 3. At Cemento-enamel junction, the compressive and tensile force show the maximun value except FA Point.

The purpose of this study was to compare mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA; Dentsply, Tulsa Dental, Tulsa, OK, USA), which is widely used as root-end filling material, with DiaRoot BioAggregate (DB; Innovative BioCaramix Inc, Vancouver, BC, Canada), newly developed product, by using MG63 osteoblast-like cells. MTA, DB, and Intermediate Restorative Material (IRM; Dentsply Caulk, Milford, DE, USA) were used for root-end filling material while tissue culture plastic was used for control group. Each material was mixed and, the mixtures were left to set for 24 hours. MG63 cells were seeded to each group and then they were cultured for attachment for 4 hours. Following the attachment of cells to the root-end filling material, early cellular response was observed. After another 12 hours'culture, the level of attachment between cells and material was observed and in order to identify the effect of each material to bone formation, transforming growth factor beta1 ($TGF{\beta}1$) and osteocalin (OC) were estimated by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the amount of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was also measured. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. As a result, only at OC and the number of cells which were attached to materials, there was no statistical difference between MTA and DB. At other items, there was statistically significant difference in all groups. Although DB has not shown exactly the same cellular response like that of MTA, the number of attached cells shows that biocompatibility of the material and OC indicates bone formation rate. Therefore, if DB is used for root end filling material, it is expected to lead to similar results to MTA.

The purpose of present study was to compare the speed of coronal leakage before and after post space preparation using Streptococcus mutans. Forty straight extracted human teeth were selected. The crowns were removed to a uniform remaining root length 14 mm. Canals were enlarged by 06 taper $Profiles^{(R)}$ to a size $\#40$ as a master apical file. And these were filled with gutta percha point and $Tubuliseal^{(R)}$ sealer, using continuous wave technique. Groupings are as follows. Group 1 - These teeth were obturated without sealer. Group 2 - These teeth were obturated and covered the surface of the root completely with sticky wax. Group 3 - These teeth were obturated. Group 4 - These teeth were obturated and prepared for post space remaining 5 mm of gutta percha. The teeth were suspended in plastic tubes. The upper chamber received the bacterial suspension everyday to simulate clinical situation. The lower chamber consisted of BHI added Andrade's indicator. All roots in the positive control group (Group 1) turned yellow within 24 h and those of negative control group (Group 2) remained red throughout the experimental period (70 days) The samples of group 3 were contaminated within an average of 27.2 days. The samples of group 4 were contaminated within an average of 15.7 days, ranging from 9 to 22 days. There was significant difference between group 3 and group 4 statistically (p < 0.05).

The etiology of mesiodens is unknown but the most widely accepted theory is the hyperactivity of the dental lamina. Complications of mesiodens are delayed or prevented eruption of maxillary central incisors, displacement or rotation of permanent teeth, crowding of affected region, abnormal diastema or permanent space closure, dilaceration or abnormal root development of permanent teeth, primordial or follicular cyst formation, root resorption of adjacent teeth, eruption into nasal cavity. If mesiodens rotate the maxillary central incisors, space deficiency is not common and relapse is very common. So overcorrection is needed. To prevent the rotational relapse, early treatment, overcorrection, long retention period, properly formed proximal surface, use of coupled force, and surgical techniques have been suggested. The authors present two cases, whose chief complain were severely rotated maxillary incisors by mesiodens, treated by orthodontic and surgical technique and showed good results.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the three-dimensional characteristics of mesiodens using Cone-beam Computed Tomography(CBCT) and analyze the factors affecting complications and anesthetic methods of extraction. This study evaluated 602 mesiodens of 452 patients who underwent extraction of mesiodens at the department of Pediatric Dentistry in Seoul National University Dental Hospital between 2017 and 2019. The ratio of mesiodens patients over total patient per year was gradually increased over the past 20 years. Mesiodens with labio-palatally horizontal direction while root directing labial were the most common among the mesiodens with horizontal direction. Mesiodens were the most common at the cervical side of the adjacent teeth(37.0%) and mesiodens located in the near-palatal side were observed about 3.83 times higher than the far-palatal side. Most of the mesiodens(82.1%) were in contact with adjacent permanent teeth on all three sides of the CBCT and 46.2% of mesiodens had curved roots. The patient's age, vertical position, presence of complications, and proximity showed a significant difference in the selection of general anesthesia among anesthetic methods. The direction and vertical position of mesiodens had a significant effect on complications. These results provide a better understanding of mesiodens for establishing an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
