Tooth mobility is one of the most important clinical parameters in examination, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment planning procedure. In order to determine the differences of tooth mobility according to radiographical bone level, clinical root length, clinical crown/root ratio, and bleeding on probing, 90 male adults with periodontal disease and 10 male adults with periodontal health($25{\sim}45$ years old) were selected through clinical examinations including occlusal relationship, probing depth, attachment level, and bleeding on probing. On the mandibular anterior teeth, standard periapical radiographs were taken, and tooth mobility was measured by Periotest(Siemens Co., Germany). The radiographic bone level of individual tooth was evaluated as coronal 1/3, middle 1/3, and apical 1/3 to anatomical root length, and clinical crown length from incisal edge to bone level and clinical root length from bone level to root apex were measured with Boley gauge, and subsquently clinical crown/root ratio was calculated. The difference of tooth mobility(Periotest value) according to radiographical bone level, clinical root length, clinical crown/root ratio, and bleeding on probing was statistically analyzed by unpaired Student t-test. Tooth mobility was significantly higher in bleeding group than non-bleeding group on probing in the teeth radiographic bone level of middle 1/3, with clinical root length longer than 6mm, and with clinical crown/root ratio over 0.3(p<0.01). But there was no statistical difference in tooth mobility between bleeding group and non-bleeding group on probing in the teeth with radiographic bone level of apical 1/3, with short clinical root length less than 5mm, and with clinical crown/root ratio under 0.2(p>0.05). The results note that the tooth mobility depends on clinical root length, clinical crown/root ratio and gingival inflammation, and in the teeth with relatively good alveolar bone support gingival inflammation is one of the most important factors that affect tooth mobility.

Statement of the problem: In cases of low bone level in maxilla followed by extraction due to severe periodontitis or enlarged maxillary sinus, crown-root ratio of implant prosthesis will increase. The prognosis of these cases is not good as expected. Purpose : The purpose is to compare stress distribution due to crown-root ratio and effect of splinting between two implants in maxillary molar area under different loads Material and methods: Using ITI($4.1{\times}10$ mm) implant. two finite element models were made(model S: two parallel implants, model A: one of two is 20 degree inclined). Each model was designed in different crown-root ratio(0.7:1, 1:1, 1.25:1) and set cement type gold crown to make it splinted or non-splinted clinical situations. After that, 300 N force was loaded to each model in four ways.(load 1 : middle of occlusal table, load 2 : middle of buccal cusp, load 3 : middle of lingual cusp, load 4 : horizontal load to middle of buccal cusp), and stress distribution was analyzed. Results: On all occasions, stress was concentrated on neck of implant near cortical bone. In the case of inclined implant, stress was increased compared with parallel implants. Under load 1, 2, 3, stress was not increased even when crown-root ratio increases, but under load 4, when crown-root ratio increases, stress also increased. And more stress was concentrated under load 1 than load 2, 3. When crown-root ratio was same, stress under load 1, 2, 3 decreased when splinting, but under load 4, stress did not really decrease. Conclusion: Under vertical load, stress distribution related to crown-root ratio did not change. But under horizontal load, stress increased as crown-root ratio increases. Under vertical load, splinting decreased stress but under horizontal load, effect of splinting was decreased as condition of implant changes for the worse such as increase of crown-root ratio, inclined implant.

Apical surgery cuts off the apical root and the crown-to-root ratio becomes unfavorable. Crown-to-root ratio has been applied to periodontally compromised teeth. Apical root resection is a different matter from periodontal bone loss. The purpose of this paper is to review the validity of crown-to-root ratio in the apically resected teeth. Most roots have conical shape and the root surface area of coronal part is wider than apical part of the same length. Therefore loss of alveolar bone support from apical resection is much less than its linear length.The maximum stress from mastication concentrates on the cervical area and the minimum stress was found on the apical 1/3 area. Therefore apical root resection is not so harmful as periodontal bone loss. Osteotomy for apical resection reduces longitudinal width of the buccal bone and increases the risk of endo-perio communication which leads to failure. Endodontic microsurgery is able to realize 0 degree or shallow bevel and precise length of root resection, and minimize the longitudinal width of osteotomy. The crown-to-root ratio is not valid in evaluating the prosthodontic prognosis of the apically resected teeth. Accurate execution of endodontic microsurgery to preserve the buccal bone is essential to avoid endo-perio communication.

목적: 상악 구치부에서 자연치와 임플란트 보철시, 보철치관/고정체 비율에 따른 응력분포 양상을 비교하고자 했다. 재료 및 방법: 자연치 모델의 경우는 획득한 3차원 인체모델을 상악 좌측 제2소구치 및 제 1대구치가 포함된 상악골을 Box 형태의 3차원 유한요소모델로 변환하였고, 임플란트 모델은 3차원 인체모델에서 치아 부분을 제거하고 동일 부위에 임플란트 모델을 연결하는 과정을 거쳐서 임플란트가 삽입된 유한요소모델을 구성하였다. 치관/고정체 비율을 0.7:1, 1:1, 1.25:1이 되도록 골수준 (bone level)을 조정하였으며 각 모델의 치관 부위에 300 N의 수직 하중과 수평하중을 각각 가했다. 결과: 1. 모든 하중 조건하에서 자연치와 임플란트 모두에서 피질골과 인접하는 경부에 응력이 집중되는 양상을 보였다. 2. 치관/치근 (고정체) 비가 증가함에 따라 자연치와 임플란트 모두에서 교합면에 수직적 하중을 가한 경우에는 응력의 변화가 뚜렷하지 않았으나, 수평적 하중을 가한 경우에서는 응력이 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 3. 자연치의 경우에 치관/치근비가 증가함에 따라 splinting이 응력감소 효과를 보였고, 임플란트의 경우에는, 치관/고정체 비가 증가함에 따라 splinting이 수직 하중조건에 응력감소효과를 보였으나, 중심에서 벗어난 하중조건에는 최대응력이 오히려 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 4. 임플란트의 경우, 치관/고정체 비가 증가함에 따라 splinting이 수평하중조건 4에서 뚜렷한 응력감소 효과를 보이나, 수평 하중조건 5에서는 응력감소 효과가 감소되고, 특히 치관/고정체 비가 1.25:1인 경우에서는 오히려 응력의 증가를 보였다. 결론: 임플란트 보철물은 치관/고정체 비가 커질수록 더 큰 응력을 받게 되고, splinting의 효과도 감소하게 된다. 또한 교합하중이 임플란트의 장축을 벗어나거나 중심에서 벗어난 경우 응력이 커지는 것으로 사료된다.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the stress distribution according to the thread design and the marginal bone loss of a single unit dental implant under the axial and offset-axial loading by three dimensional finite element analysis. The implants used had the diameter of 5mm and 4mm with 13mm in length and prosthesis with a conical type which is 6mm in height and 12mm in diameter. The thread designs were triangular, square and buttress. In the three dimensional finite element model with $15\times15\times20mm$ hexahedron and 2mm cortical thickness, implants were placed with crown to root ratio 7:12, 10:9, 13:6 and 16:3. And additionally the axial force of 100N were applied into 0mm, 2mm and 4mm away from the center of the implants. The results were as follows 1. The maximum von-Mises stress in cortical bone was concentrated to cervical area of implant, and in cancellous bone, apical portion. 2. Comparing the von-Mises stresses in cortical bone of 2mm and 4mm offset loading with central axial loading, it were increased to 3 and 5 times in diameter 4mm implant, and 2 and 4 times, in diameter 5mm implant. 3. The square threads were more effective than the triangular and butress as the longer diameter, the offset loading, and the worse crown to root ratio. 4. The von-Mises stresses were relatively stable until crown to root ratio 13:6, but it was suddenly increased at 16:3. From the results of this study, minimum requirement of crown to root ratio of implant is 2:1, and in the respect of crown to root ratio, diameter and offset loading, square threads are more effective than triangular and buttress threads.

Objectives: Crown-root fracture and cervical caries in maxillary premolars constitute a challenge in cases of subgingival placement of restoration margins. Surgical extrusion has been practiced successfully in permanent anterior teeth. The aim of the present retrospective study was to assess the clinical outcome of surgical extrusion after orthodontic extrusion in maxillary premolars. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one single, tapered root maxillary premolars with subgingival crown-root fracture or caries were included. Presurgical orthodontic extrusion was performed on all teeth to prevent root resorption. Extent of extrusion and rotation was determined based on crown/root ratio. The postoperative splinting period was 7 to 14 days. Clinical and radiographic examination was performed at an interval of 1, 2, and 3 months. Results: After the mean follow-up of $41.9{\pm}15.2months$, failure was observed as increased mobility in 3 of 21 cases. No significant difference was observed in the outcome of surgical extrusion based on tooth type, age, sex, $180^{\circ}$ rotation, or time for extraction. Furthermore, marginal bone loss was not observed. Conclusion: Surgical extrusion of maxillary premolars can be a possible therapeutic option in cases of subgingival crown-root fracture.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to determine the absolute value of the root/crown ratio (R/C ratio) using panoramic radiographs (PRGs) in a healthy Korean population. MATERIALS AND METHODS. In total, 99 patient radiographs (of 50 males and 49 females subjects; aged 16 to 24 years old) were examined, and 2,770 teeth were analyzed. Crown lengths and root lengths were measured with modified Lind's measurements using PACS tools by two examiners in two separate sessions two months apart. All data were analyzed using SPSS. The independent t-test was used to assess for gender differences, and the paired t-test was used to compare both arches with a significance level of P<.05. RESULTS. The mean R/C ratios varied from 1.29 to 1.89 (male: 1.28-1.84; females: 1.31-1.94). The highest R/C ratios were recorded for the mandibular canines (1.89), followed by the maxillary canines (1.79). The lowest R/C ratios were recorded for the maxillary second molars (1.31). In comparison with the maxillary teeth (1.29-1.78), the mandibular teeth yielded the higher R/C ratio (1.47-1.89), and this difference was significant in the females (P<.05). The difference between the genders was not statistically significant, except for the maxillary central incisors, mandibular canines and mandibular first premolars. CONCLUSION. These data may enhance the understanding of the clinical R/C ratio as a useful guideline for determining the status of teeth and the ethnic difference.

교정치료시 치아와 주위조직의 부작용을 최소로 하면서 최대의 치료결과를 얻기 위해서는 치료역학을 각 환자의 치아 및 주위 해부학적 환경에 맞도록 개인화 시켜야한다. 특히 성인 교정시 문제되기 쉬운 치근흡수 또는 치주질환으로 인한 치조골 손실로 인하여 치관/치근 비율이 변했을 때 치아의 저항중심위치의 변화와 관련된 생역학적 반응의 차이에 주의하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 정상 치주조직뿐만 아니라 다양한 비정상적 치주 및 치아상태에서 치관/치근 비율이 변하였을 때 일정한 교정력하에서의 치아의 초기이동 양상을 연구하기 위하여, 성인의 인체 건조 두개골 및 하악골상에서 laser 반사측정법 및 lever and pulley force applicator와 photodetector를 이용하여, 상악 6전치군을 대상으로는 치조골높이를 각각의 치아에 대하여 2mm씩 총 8mm까지 감소시켰고, 하악 6전치군을 대상으로는 치근길이를 각각의 치아에 대하여 2mm씩 총6mm까지 감소시키면서, 이렇게 다양하게 정량화된 변수들 하에서 상하악6전치군의 저항중심의 위치변화를 연구한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 초기상태에서 상악 6전치군의 초기이동시의 저항중심점의 위치는 6전치 전체 평균치아 치근의 치경부(CEJ)로부터 치근첨 방향으로 약 $42.4\%$되는 위치에 있었으며, 각 치아의 치조골의 높이가 감소할수록 저항중심점은 치근첨방향으로 약 $76.7\%$되는 부위까지 이동하였다. 2. 상악 6전치군에서 저항중심점의 6전치 전체 평균 치조정으로부터의 거리는 치조골의 감소와 함께 지속적으로 감소하였으나, 치조골내의 평균 치근의 길이에 대한 비율은 치조골의 감소에 상관없이 약 $33\%$내외에서 비교적 일정하였다. 3. 초기상태에서 하악 6전치군의 초기이동시의 저항중심점의 위치는 6전치 전체 평균치아 치근의 CEJ로부터 치근첨방향으로 약 $43\%$되는 위치에 있었으며, 각 치아의 치근의 길이가 감소할수록 이 비율은 약 $54\%$까지 증가하였다. 그러나 CEJ로부터 저항중심점까지의 거리는 5.3mm전후로부터 3.3mm내외까지 감소하여 치근의 길이가 감소할수록 저항중심점이 CEJ방향으로 이동하였다. 4.치조골 또는 치근흡수시, 각각의 단위 흡수량에 따른 저항중심위치의 변화에 미치는 영향은 초기에는 치조골이 감소 될 때가 더 컸으나 전체 평균 치근길이의 중간부위에서의 영향은 비슷했다.
