저작은 치아, 악골, 저작근 뿐만 아니라 근 신경계, 고위 중추까지 복합적으로 관여되는 기능적 행위이다. 저작 형태는 다양한 모양을 가지나 두 가지 전형적인 군, 즉, 전방에서 관찰 시 그 양상이 수직적이며 절단 (chopping) 운동을 하는 군과 주로 측방으로 이루어지며 연마 (grinding)를 하는 군으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 저작 형태의 차이가 교합면 마모에 미치는 영향을 조사하는 것이다. 두개 하악 관절과 저작 습관에 이상이 없으며 교합면에 수복물이 없는 치과 대학생으로 하악 운동 궤적 기록기를 이용하여 상기의 전형적인 2가지 저작 형태를 보이는 각 15명씩을 피검자로 선택하였다. 각 피검자에 대한 임상 검사를 통해 ordinal scale로 교합면 마모의 등급을 조사하여, 평균 치아 마모도와 부위에 따른 치아 마모도를 비교 조사하였다. 각 피검자에 대한 인상 채득 후 모형을 제작하고 arbitrary scale로 교합면 마모의 등급을 조사하여, 평균 치아 마모도와 부위에 따른 치아 마모도를 비교 조사하고 저작측과 비저작측 마모를 비교 조사하였으며 수평 마모면과 수직 마모면을 비교 조사하였다. 1. 평균 치아 마모도는 ordinal scale로 측정하였을 때, 절단형과 연마형간에 유의할 만한 차이가 없었다.(p >0.05) 2. 부위에 따른 치아의 마모도는 ordinal scale로 측정하였을 때, 절단형과 연마형간에 유의할 만한 차이가 없었다.(p >0.05) 3. 평균 치아 마모도는 arbitrary scale로 측정하였을 때, 절단형에 비교하여 연마형에서 높은 마모도를 보였다.(p<0.05). 4. 절단형에 비교하여 연마형은 arbitrary scale로 측정하였을 때, 구치부에서는 높은 마모도를 보였으며 전치부에서는 유의할 만한 차이가 없었다(p<0.05) 5. 구치 평균 치아 마모도와 부위에 따른 치아의 마모도는 균형측에서 절단형과 연마형간에 유의할 만한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 6. 전치 평균 치아 마모도와 부위에 따른 치아의 마모도는 수평 마모면과 수직 마모면 비교시, 절단형과 연마형간에 유의할 만한 차이를 보이지 않았다.(p>0.05)

Treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion with mini-implant anchorage is discussed in relation to vertical control of the maxillary posterior dentoalveolar region and horizontal control of mandibular anterior teeth. A midpalatal mini-implant provided anchorage for intruding the maxillary posterior teeth. Mandibular mini-Implant implants were used to bring about labioversion of mandibular anterior teeth. After mandibular setback surgery, improvement of the facial profile was obtained both horizontally and vertically, Total treatment time was 11 months. Stable occlusion was maintained after 18 months of retention, The effectiveness and efficacy of mini-implants for the treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion are also discussed.

The radicular cyst is the most common odontogenic cyst which is caused by pulpal inflammation, pulp death, and secondary to trauma or dental caries. Usually, the radicular cyst is asymptomatic, but a secondary inflammation can cause pain, swelling and redness. Getting larger, the radicular cyst can cause facial asymmetry and paresthesia by pressure on nerves. It requires conservative endodontic treatment or surgical approach. When the size of cyst is large or invasion of the adjacent tissue is not expected, cyst enucleation is carried out. And most of the case can be completely cured and shows low recurrence. In these radicular cysts cases, by cyst enucleation or apicoectomy after root canal treatment simultaneously, the infected teeth can be preserved successfully.

As patients' esthetic expectations increase, there is an increase in demand for cosmetic restorations of anterior and posterior teeth that resemble the natural tooth morphology and color. An example of high-strength all-ceramic systems is zirconia with CAD/CAM application. This case report describes a full-mouth rehabilitation using zirconia all-ceramic crowns supported by upper and lower implants and by a minimal increase in the occlusal vertical dimension in a patient with severe abrasion due to loss of posterior teeth.

The biomechanical prognosis of conventional removable partial denture is questionable in case of patient with few remaining teeth or periodontally compromised teeth. In this case, hybrid telescopic double crown RPD may be a successful treatment alternative. Hybrid telescopic double crown RPD has following advantages over conventional RPD: secondary splinting effect between abutments, more vertical stress direction and more convenient in repairing the denture after extraction of abutment tooth. In this clinical case, patient had deep overbite in anteriors and partially edentulous. The maxilla was restored with hybrid telescopic double crown RPD and the mandible was restored with implants and fixed prostheses. Long-term follow-up and supportive periodontal treatment were performed, and satisfactory results were achieved in terms of function and aesthetics.

A proper vertical dimension and a harmonious occlusal plane are essential to satisfy a patient esthetically and functionally. A maxillomandibular occlusal vertical dimension is determined by the elevators which repeatedly contracts to a certain length, and a tooth location is determined by a maxillomandibular vertical dimension. The patient of this case came in with the incongruity of the lips and the occlusal plane. The result of clinical test showed the lack of length of the lower anterior due to the reduction of vertical dimension, the deep overbite of anterior, the excessive attrition of anterior, and the incongruity of occlusal plane. After the diagnostic wax-up, the temporary restoration was installed, and final prosthesis was installed after 6 months. As a result, the patient obtained a functionally and esthetically satisfying result.

Maxillary anterior teeth were intruded and lingually root torqued with two maxillary anterior microimplants between the lateral incisors and canines. Overerupted maxillary canines were intruded with two other microimplants between the maxillary canines and first premolars. Maxillary posterior teeth and canines were distalized, then the maxillary incisors were retracted with two maxillary posterior microimplants between the first and second molars. The mandibular anterior teeth were intruded and the mandibular posterior teeth were extruded with conventional method such as anterior bite plane, intrusion arch and Class II elastics. The mandible moved slightly forward after the correction of deep bite and retroclination of the upper incisors. Consequently, microimplant anchorage (MIA) provided absolute anchorage for simultaneous correction of Class II canine and molar relationships and deep overbite.

In children with Class III malocclusion, it is important to identify whether the etiology is functional, dental, skeletal. FR-III developed by Rolf Frankel in 1970, has been used during deciduous, mixed, and early permanent dentition to correct class III malocclusion characterized by maxillary skeletal retrusion. According Frankel, the vestibular shields and upper labial pads act to counteract the forces of the surrounding musculature that restrict forward maxillary development and cause a retrusion in maxillary tooth position. This can achieve favorable developments with the basal bone, teeth and alveolar bone. We report FR-III that can be applicated in cases of early mixed dentition with mild maxillary deficiency and deepbite before the eruption of permanent maxillary incisor.

Objectives: The purposes of this study were to estimate the effect of mandibular advancement device (MAD) and to evaluate the influence of the advancement amount of mandible in the application of MAD for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Methods: From the patients who were diagnosed as OSA by polysomnographic study at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital from January 2007 to February 2009, the patients who chose MAD as treatment option were included in this study. All the patients’ data including clinical records and polysomnographic studies (both pre- and post-treatment) were reviewed and analyzed. Results: Successful results were obtained in 65 patients of 86 patients (75.6%). In the follow-up period, mild discomfort of anterior teeth or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) were described in 28 patients, especially in the cases the amount of mandibular advancement were more than 7.0 mm. There was no direct relationship between the amount of mandibular advancement and clinical outcome. Conclusion: MAD was effective treatment option for the OSA patients regardless of severity. For the prevention of potential dental complications, the amount of mandibular advancement should be considered at the time of MAD treatment.

Objective: This study was carried out to evaluate the distribution and clinical features of patients with degenerative change of the mandibular condyle. Methods: Six thousand and seventy patients with TMD (temporomandibular cisorder) were selected for this study, who had complete initial clinical records and radiographs. Panorama and TMJ panorama radiographs were used to screen the degenerative change in the condyle, and the patients were divided into DJD (degenerative joint disease) and non-DJD groups. Results: The distribution. and clinical features of the two groups were compared. Out of the total number of patients, 31.7% were in the DJD group, and 68.3% were in the non-DJD group. The portion of females was larger in the DJD group (80.8%) than in the non-DJD group (67.5%), and the DJD group had high prevalence in the second and third decades. Lack of incisal contact, retrusive chin, facial asymmetry, and mouth opening limitation were the chief complaints of the patients who had positive relation to DJD. Conclusion: Patients with an orthodontic treatment history, CO-CR discrepancy and crepitation were at possible risk of having DJD.
