Purpose: After the introduction of concept of osteointegration, dental implantology have been successful procedure in the dental field. Recently, it has shown successful results when used to restore single tooth missing. Considering the difference in bone quality of the mandible and maxilla, and the increased occlusal force in the posterior region, the success rates in each region may be different. In this study, success rates of single implants placed in the mandibular first and second molar areas were analyzed. Materials and methods: The subjects were patients (284 patients, 308 implants) who had been operated with single implant installation from 2002 to 2009 in seven dental clinics in Daegu city. One hundred sixty eight implants were placed in the mandibular 1st molar and 140 implants were placed in the mandibular 2nd molar. They were analyzed according to implant site, age, sex, length and diameter. Results: The survival rates of single implant of this study were 97.6% in the mandibular 1st molar and 92.9% in the mandibular 2nd molar. In the mandibular 1st molar, 4 implants were failed. In the mandibular, 2nd molar, 10 implants were failed. Conclusion: The restoration of the mandibular 1st molar using single implant was found to be clinically acceptable treatment and showed higher survival rate than mandibular 2nd molar single implant. Single implant in mandibular 2nd molar needs careful consideration of poor bone quality, risk of overloading and anatomical structure of the mandible.

Many studies reported that the presence of cervical enamel projection (CEP) in cemento-enamel junction(CEJ) is greatly related to periodontal disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of enamel projections in buccal, mesial, distal and lingual(palatal) surface of maxillary and mandibular first and second molars on extracted teeth. Among 660 teeth extracted due to the periodontal disease and dental caries in Seoul National University Dental Hospital was examined, 530 teeth which has distinct CEJ were examined with 8 times x electronic magnifier by one examiner. The prevalence of CEP for maxillary teeth (45.49%) was higher than that of mandible (39.62%). The first molar (45.22%) had more CEP than second (39.89%). Furthermore, buccal surface had highest incidence of CEP than other surfaces. The results of this study imply that the clinicians should take good care of the prevalence of CEP when scaling or root planning, plaque control instruction and periodontal surgery.

The purpose of this research, which was executed with 200 patients whose chief complaint was the extraction of the mandibular third molar, was to examine the effect that eruption state of the mandibular third molar has on the growth of pericoronitis. The conclusion about distribution of left and right mandibular third molar, angulation, impaction degree, anterior border of mandibular ramus and the interval from mandibular second molar to mandibular third molar was drawn by chi-square test. 1. There was correlation between pericoronitis and position of the mandibular third molar according to age. 2. In angulation of mandibular third molar, mandibular third molar most likely to be afflicted with pericoronitis is mesioangular. 3. The impaction degree between mandibular third molar and the growth of pericoronitis was given in the order of Level a, Level c and Level b. 4. In the anterior border of mandibular ramus with mandibular third molar, pericoronitis was easily generated in the order of Class II, Class I and Class III. 5. The shorter the interval from distal cementoenamel junction of mandibular second molar to mesial cementoenamel junction of third molar became, the more easily pericoronitis was generated.

The Purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the lower third molar on treatment time and distal en masse movement of the lower dentition in Giass III malocclusions. Thirty subjects (9 males and 27 females) were selected, all of whom were diagnosed as Glass III malocclusion and treated by fixed appliances without premolar and/or molar extraction. They were divided into three groups Group 1 consisted of 12 subjects. whose lower third molars were not extracted during the whole orthodontic treatment. Group 2 consisted of 8 subjects. whose lower third molars were extracted after WEAW application and before removal of the orthodontic appliances. Group 3 consisted of 10 subjects whose lower third molars were extracted before MEAW application. For each subject. overall treatment time and duration of MEAW application were determined. In addition. pre-treatment and post-treatment lateral cephalometric radiographs were analyzed. All data were Processed statistically with ANOVA, and the conclusions were as follows: There was no significant difference among the groups in overall treatment time However, duration of MEAW application was longer in Group 2 than in Group 1 or Group 3. The overjet that was established after orthodontic treatment was largest in Group 3, in which the lower third molars were extracted befor MEAW application. After orthodontic treatment, IMPA decreased in Group 3. but increased in Group 1 and Group 2. There was no significant difference among the three groups in the translation of lower second molars However the tipping movement of lower second molars was significantly different, highest in Group 2 and lowest in Group 1 Therefore. it is thought to be better for the orthodontic treatment of Class III malocclusions to extract the lower third molars before MEAW application. In Group 2, the mandibular plane angle was decreased as a result of forward rotation of the mandible This skeletal change was thought to bring about the difficulty of treatment.

The Purpose of this study was to investigate the stress distribution and tooth displacement at the initial phase produced by 5 types of molar uprighting springs using finite element method. The three dimensional finite element model of lower dentition, bone and springs was composed of 5083 elements and 2071 nodes. The results were as follows: 1. In case of helical spring and root spring, intrusion of lower canine and first premolar were observed md distal tipping, translation and extrusion of lower second molar were observed. 2. In case of T-loop, modified T-loop and box loop, intrusion and distal translation of lower second premolar were observed, and the largest crown distal tipping and translation of lower second molar were observed in T-loop and the smallest were observed in box loop. 3. In case of T-loop with cinch-bact crown distal tipping and translation of lower second molar were decreased, but extrusion was also decreased. 4. With increase of activation in T-loop, mesial translation and won distal tipping of lower second molar were increased and edentulous space was closing, but distal translation of second premolar was also increased. 5. With increase of tip-back bend in T--loop, distal tipping and translation of lower second molar were increased, but extrusion was also increased more largely.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the eruption pattern of the mandibular first molar in sagittal, frontal and horizontal views using the cone beam CT scanning. CT images were obtained from healthy 83 children (42 boys, 41 girls) between 3 to 10 years of age with a normal dentition according to Nolla stage. 1. In the frontal and horizontal view, the intermolar width decreased continuously with stage and slightly increased at the last stage. 2. In the sagittal and frontal view, eruption distances from occlusal plane were observed the largest change between stage 5 and 7. 3. In the horizontal and sagittal view, mandibular first molar from distal surface of primary second molar moved distally between stage 4 and 6. 4. In the sagittal view, angle from occlusal plane to mesio-distal axis increased between stage 4 and 8. 5. In the frontal view, angle from occlusal plane to bucco-lingual axis increased continuously during all stage. 6. In the horizontal view, angle from midsagittal plane to long axis increased between stage 5 and 8.

The purpose of this study is to know about the positional change of second molar when orthodontic treatment is performed. To know about it, we andlysed cephalogram pre. and post treatment for 54 adult patients who werefinished orthodontic treatment by banding to the first molar and classify them into 4 groups Class I extraction group 15, Class I nonextraction group 12, Class II group 13, class Class III group 14. The following conclusions were obtained : 1. In the extraction group of Class I , mandibular second molar showed less extrusion and mon distal inclination than first moarl. But maxillary second molar showed more or less extrusive and mesial inclination to much the same degree of first molar. 2. Inthe non-extractio group of Class I, mandibular second molar in intrusive to first molar, it showed smilar distal inclination to first molar. But maxillary second molar is extrusive similarly to first molar. 3. In the group of Class II , mandibular second molar is less extrusive than first molar and maxillary second molar is more extrusive than first molar. 4. In the group of Class III, mandibular second molar showed similar extrusion to first molar and more distal inclination than first molar. But maxillary second molar showed less extrusion than first molar. 5. A comparision of the positional change of second molar among groups : The change of distance from FH plane to funcation point of maxillary second molar is the difference between Class I extraction group and Class II group, Class I extraction group and Class III group. The change of maxillary second molar to palatal plane and occlusal plane is the difference between Class I extraction group and Class III group. And the change of distance from mandibular plan to furcation point of mandibular second molar is difference between Class I extraction group and non-extraction group, Class I non-extraction group and Class II group, Class I non-extraction group and Class III group. But the change of angle of mandibular second molar to mandibular plane and occlusal plane is make no difference in among groups.

The purpose of the present retrospective study was to analyze gender, age, awareness, etiology, and treatment choice in patients with failed eruption of the mandibular first molar. Radiographic material and dental records from 67 patients with 74 mandibular first molars with failed eruption treated during the years 2001-2014 were evaluated. As results, the prevalence of mandibular first molar with failed eruption was higher in males than females, and the average awareness age was 9.19 years old. The most common etiological cause was unknown, and the next most common causes were abnormal eruption pathway and odontogenic tumor in order. In this study, it is suggested that more dental education to children about the time of eruption of permanent tooth is required, and the importance of regular dental check-ups is emphasized during mixed dentition.

Eruption disturbances of the mandibular first molars can cause multiple problems in occlusal development although they are extremely rare. Early diagnosis and treatment are very important to prevent complications associated with eruption disturbances. The present case report describes the treatment of two cases of eruption disturbances of the mandibular first permanent molar. A fixed appliance composed of a cantilever spring with mandibular second deciduous molar as an anchor tooth was used to tract the impacted mandibular first permanent molar. The success of both cases shows that this novel traction appliance can be used to induce the eruption of an impacted mandibular first permanent molar within a short time in patients with intact mandibular second deciduous molar as an anchor tooth.
