An endodontically treated tooth is likely to be brittle than a vital tooth. Internal structure of the tooth has been weakened due to a significant removal of dentin by coronal access, canal preparation. There are many controversies concerning with various methods of reinforcing an intact anterior tooth that has endodontic treatment. In this experiment, 128 extracted maxillary anterior teeth were endodontically treated, and prepared with 4 methods of restorations; Composite resin filling with zinc phosphate cement, composite resin filling without zinc phosphate cement, composite resin filling with post, and metal crown with post. An Instron testing machine was used to measure the fracture loads of the specimens. The means of the failure loads for the 4 groups were compared by F-test statistically and the failure modes were observed. The results were as follows; 1. There were no statistically significant difference between the failure loads of the four methods of restoration. 2. Teeth without post were fractured in a horizontal or oblique plane through upper or middle third of the root. 3. In the posted teeth, fractures were occurred around the post. 4. In the metal crowned teeth with post, the fracture were occurred around the post or coronal area.

Objective: To assess the accuracy of anterior tooth movement using clear aligners in integrated three-dimensional digital models. Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography was performed before and after treatment with clear aligners in 32 patients. Plaster casts were laser-scanned for virtual setup and aligner fabrication. Differences in predicted and achieved root and crown positions of anterior teeth were compared on superimposed maxillofacial digital images and virtual models and analyzed by Student's t-test. Results: The mean discrepancies in maxillary and mandibular crown positions were $0.376{\pm}0.041mm$ and $0.398{\pm}0.037mm$, respectively. Maxillary and mandibular root positions differed by $2.062{\pm}0.128mm$ and $1.941{\pm}0.154mm$, respectively. Conclusions: Crowns but not roots of anterior teeth can be moved to designated positions using clear aligners, because these appliances cause tooth movement by tilting motion.

Inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury is usually caused by stretching or crushing of the neurovascular structures and postoperative intra-alveolar hematoma or edema after dental procedures. This results in paresthesia in the ipsilateral chin, lip (vermilion border, skin, and mucosa), and labial or buccal alveolar mucosa of the mandibular anterior teeth. However, there are no reports of sensory alterations in the teeth, especially tooth hypersensitivity, after IAN injury. I report a case in which paresthesia of the lower lip and hypersensitivity of the lower anterior teeth occurred simultaneously after the removal of the third molar that was located close to the IAN. In addition, I discuss the reasons for the different sensory changes between the tooth and chin (skin) after nerve injury from a neurophysiological point of view. Since the dental pulp and periodontal apparatus are highly innervated by the inferior alveolar sensory neurons, it seems necessary to pay attention to the changes in tooth sensitivity if IAN injury occurs during dental procedures.

상악전치부파절은 원인과 연령에 따라 다양한 임상 증상을 가지고 있습니다. 대부분 환자분들은 응급상황으로 내원하기 때문에 평소에 정확한 진단 기준을 가지고 환자를 치료한다면 심미적이고 기능적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것입니다. 다른 부위보다 조심스러운 상악전치부파절치 치료 과정을, 제가 전에 치료했던 케이스로 한번 살펴보려고 합니다. 제가 치료한 케이스가 정답이 될 수는 없지만, 임상에서 유사한 증례를 치료하게 된다면 도움이 될 수 있기를 바랍니다.

Exposing sound structure of a subgingivally fractured tooth using orthodontic extrusion is considered to be a conservative way to re-establish biologic width without sacrificing esthetics or jeopardizing periodontal support of neighboring teeth. When a misaligned tooth is traumatically involved, a more comprehensive approach combining tooth extrusion and re-alignment may be necessary for a successful restorative outcome. This case report describes a successful esthetic management of a patient with complicated crown-root fracture on the maxillary right central incisor and pre-existing malocclusion in the maxillary anterior region. Forced eruption along with re-alignment of teeth by orthodontic movement seems to allow re-positioning of the fracture line to a favorable position and correction of crowding, providing a better esthetic result.

This study was performed to investigate the survival rate of single implant used in maxillary anterior region during follow up periods. 231 patients whose single missing tooth in maxillary region had been replaced with 237 implant at the periodontal dept. of Yonsei University Hospital between February 1993 and December 2004. The following results are compiled from 231 patients who received single implant surgery. 1. The major cause of single tooth loss in maxillary anterior region is trauma, followed by periodontal disease and congenital missing. 2. The total survival rate of single implant placed in maxillary anterior region is 94.5%. 3. The survival rate of single implant placed in type II and type IV was 100% and in type III was 92.7%. As for the bone quantity, the survival rate in type A(100%) was most, followed by type B(97.3%) and type C, D (93.5%). 4. The survival rate of implant placement combined with advanced surgery was 94.4%. The results showed that the placement of single implant is considered as a reliable treatment option for a single missing tooth in maxillary anterior region except in certain extreme conditions especially with poor bone quality and quantity.

교정 치료 시 많은 경우 상악 전치부를 상당량 견인하게 되며 이 때 치아의 이동량과 전방 피질골의 개조량이 동일하게 일어나지 않는다면 치주적인 문제가 발생할 수 있게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 상악 전치가 후방 견인될 때 치아의 이동량과 피질골의 개조량의 관계를 알아보기 위하여 성장이 완료된 만 18세 이상의 성인 여자환자 56명을 대상으로 치료 전후의 측모두부 방사선 사진을 계측하였다. 연구대상 56명은 전치의 후방견인 시 경사이동이 주로 일어난 환자(26명 )와 치체 이동이 동반된 환자(30명)로 나누었으며 치료 전후의 측모두부방사선 사진을 true horizontal plane 을 기준으로 하여 중첩하였다. Tip-Group(경사이동된 군)에서는 수평적인 bone remodeling/tooth movement ratio가 1:1.63, Torque-Group(치체 이동이 동반된 군)에서는 1:1.66이었다. 두 군 모두에서 치아의 이동량과 골의 개조량이 동일하지 않았기 때문에 경사 이동 시에는 치근첨이 구개측피질골판에서 멀어지고 순측피질골판에 가까워지며, 치체이동이 동반된 군에서는 치근이 순측피질골판에서는 멀어지고 구개측피질골판에 접근하게 된다. 따라서 상악의 전방 피질골의 두께가 매우 얇은 환자에서는 상악 전치의 후방견인량에 제한이 있게 되며 골격적 부조화가 심한 경우에는 악교정수술을 동반한 치료를 고려하고, 교정적 절충치료가 필요한 경우 술자는 그 치료한계를 명확히 인식해야할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 활주법을 이용한 전치부 후방 견인시 micro-implant의 다양한 수직적 위치와 전치부에서 힘의 적용점에 따른 치아 이동 양상을 관찰하여 공간 폐쇄시 전치부의 설측 경사와 정출력을 방지할 수 있는 micro-implant의 위치와 전치부 힘의 적용점의 위치를 알아보고자 하였다. 유한 요소 모델을 이용하여 제1소구치가 발거된 상악 치열궁 형태를 제작하고 $.022"{\times}.028"$ 슬롯 브라켓을 모형화하여 치아에 부착시켰다. $.019"{\times}.025"$ stainless steel 선재를 3차원 beam모형으로 제작하고 상악 측절치와 견치 브라켓 사이의 선재 상에 $.032"{\times}.032"$ 크기의 stainless steel hook을 수직으로 8mm의 높이로 형성하였으며, 선재로부터 2mm높이에서 1mm간격으로 8mm까지 힘 적용점을 설정하였다. 지름 1.2mm,길이 6mm의 micro-implant를 제2소구치와 제1대구치 사이의 치조골에 선재로부터 4mm에서 10mm까지 2mm간격으로 4개를 위치시켰다 각각의 micro-implant와 전치부 hook에 150gm의 힘을 적용시켜 다양한 힘 적용점에 따른 치아의 초기 변위를 분석하여 다음의 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 1. Micro-implant 높이가 4m일 경우 5mm이하의 전치부 hook 높이에서는 전치부 설측 경사 이동이 일어났으며 전치부 hook 높이가 6m이상 되었을 때 전치부 순측 경사 이동이 일어났다. 2. Micro-implant높이가 6mm일 경우 5mm이하의 전치부 hook높이에서 전치부 설측 경사 이동이 일어났으며 전치부 hook 높이가 6mm 이상 되었을 때 전치부 순측 경사 이동이 일어났다 이것은 4mm micro-implant에서의 실험결과와 유사한 이동 양상을 나타내었지만, micro-implant높이가 6mm일 때 전치부 설측 경사 이동이 좀더 감소하였다. 3. Micro-implant높이가 8m일 경우 전치부 hook높이가 2mm일 때 전치의 설측 경사 이동이 일어났으며 3mm이상의 전치부 hook 높이에서 순측 경사 이동이 비례적으로 증가하였다. 4. Micro-implant높이가 10mm일 경우 전치부 hook 높이가 2mm 이상에서 전치의 순측 경사 이동이 비례적ㅇ로 증가하였다. 5. 전치부 hook 높이가 증가할수록 전치의 순측 경사 이동이 증가되지만 선재의 뒤틀림에 의한 변형이 증가되므로 견치와 소구치 부위에서 정출력이 발생하는 바람직하지 못한 치아 이동 양상이 일어났다. 6. Micro-implant를 이용한 상악 5전치 후방 견인시 구치부의 이동은 선재와 브라켓 사이의 마찰력에 의해서 원심경사 이동이 발생하였다.

There is now an increased demand for harmony between the peri-implant gingiva and adjacent dentition. In the event of a pending loss of a single tooth in the aesthetic zone with healthy periodontium, expectation for optimal gingival and prosthodontic aesthetics are often very high. Unfortunately, bone resorption is common following the removal of an anterior tooth, compromising the gingival tissue levels for the eventual implant restoration. Also, improper implant placement and inadequate osseous-gingival support potentially deleterious aesthetic result. The creation of an esthetic implant restoration with gingival architecture that harmonizes with the adjacent dentitionis formidable challenge. The predictability of the peri-implant esthetic outcome may ultimately be determined by the patient's own presenting anatomy rather than the clinician's ability to manage state-of-the-art procedures. To more accurately predict the peri-implant esthetic outcome before removing a failing tooth, a considering of diagnostic keys is essential. This presentation addresses the useful diagnostic keys that affect the predictability of peri-implant gingival aesthetics and the overcoming of the risk factors in anterior single-tooth replacement; it also describes a surgical and prosthodontic technique in achieving a long term successful esthetic outcome. Proper diagnosis and understanding of the biological and periodontal variables of failing dentition and their response to surgical and prosthodontic procedures are the essence of predictability. Using a smart protocol that alters the periodontium toward less risk and more favorable assessment of the diagnostic keys before implant placement will provide the most predictable esthetic outcome. Simple diagnostic keys suggested this presentation are useful method to evaluate the overcoming of the risk factors in anterior single implant restoration.
