A girl aged 15 years 6 months, had a class Ⅲ malocclusion characterized by severe maxillary anterior crowding and a retarded maxilla. Molar relationship was class Ⅲ on both sides, incisor overjet was - 2.9mm. and incisor overbite was 5.5mm. The patient underwent extraction of four first premolars and was trested with a multi-banded light force system. After 13 months, the patient gained a normal verbite-overjet relationship of anterior teeth and a class 1 molar relationship. Superimposition of pretreatment and posttreatment cephalograms upon the line SN registered at S showed backward downward rotation of the mandible.

교정치료를 목적으로 한 하악 전치의 발거는 교합에 부정적인 영향을 끼치는 것으로 여겨져 왔으나 적절히 사용한 경우에 부정교합 치료의 한 방향으로써 선택적으로 사용될 수 있다. 대개 총생에 대한 치료는 비발치와 4개의 소구치 발거 사이에 선택하는 경향이 있다. 총생이 있는 하악 전치의 치료를 위한 다양한 접근 방법은 구치의 원심이동, 견치의 외측이동, 전치의 순측이동, 인접면 법랑질 삭제, 소구치 발거, 한 개 또는 두 개의 전치 발거 및 이상의 복합적인 방법들이 있다. 전치의 발거는 총생이 있거나 전치부 치아크기의 불일치 및 상악 전치의 선천적인 소실이나 이소성 맹출 등에 의해 발거한 경우에 조화를 위해서이다. 하지만 수직피개가 크고 공간이 있는 경우는 피해야 하며 전치부 수직피개의 증가는 흔한 부작용이다. 본 증례에서는 상악 전치부에 심한 총생이 있고 상악 좌측 측절치의 매복과 우측 측절치의 구개측 이소성 맹출로 인해 발거한 경우로써 하악 전치부에도 심한 총생이 있었다. 따라서 요구되는 공간, 안모의 심미성, 전방교합관계, 견치간 폭경, 적은 치아이동, I급 교합관계, 발치시기 및 수직 수평피개 등을 고려하여 하악 양측절치를 발거하였다. 이에 본 증례는 상악 측절치의 매복 및 이소성 맹출을 동반한 상하악 전치부의 심한 총생이 있는 초기 영구치열기의 남아에서 상하악 양측절치를 발거하고 고정식 장치를 사용하여 공간 폐쇄 및 견치 shaping을 통한 교정치료를 하여 양호한 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

Objective: The aims of the present study were to evaluate the changes in the maximum lip-closing force (MLF) after orthodontic treatment with or without premolar extractions and verify the correlation of these changes with dentoskeletal changes. Methods: In total, 17 women who underwent nonextraction orthodontic treatment and 15 women who underwent orthodontic treatment with extraction of all four first premolars were included in this retrospective study. For all patients, lateral cephalograms and dental models were measured before (T0) and after (T1) treatment. In addition, MLF was measured at both time points using the Lip De Cum LDC-110R^® device. Statistical analyses were performed to evaluate changes in clinical variables and MLF and their correlations. Results: Both groups showed similar skeletal patterns, although the extraction group showed greater proclination of the maxillary and mandibular incisors and lip protrusion compared to the nonextraction group at T0. MLF at T0 was comparable between the two groups. The reduction in the arch width and depth and incisor retroclination from T0 to T1 were more pronounced in the extraction group than in the nonextraction group. MLF in the extraction group significantly increased during the treatment period, and this increase was significantly greater than that in the nonextraction group. The increase in MLF was found to be correlated with the increase in the interincisal angle and decrease in the intermolar width, arch depth, and incisor-mandibular plane angle. Conclusions: This study suggests that MLF increases to a greater extent during extraction orthodontic treatment than during nonextraction orthodontic treatment.

This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of molar root-incisor malformation (MRIM) and provide clinical considerations for treatments. Panoramic radiographs and electronic medical records of 64 patients with MRIM were retrospectively reviewed. Age, gender, follow-up period, medical history, complications, distribution of MRIM teeth, treatment, and prognosis were analyzed. Females were affected 1.56 times more than males, and the average age was 8.2 years. Dental complications, including periapical lesions, abscesses, and alveolar bone loss, were observed in 71.9%, and eruption disturbance of adjacent teeth was noticed in 37.5%. Most patients had medical histories in the first year of life. The most prevalent history was prematurity or low birthweight, followed by neurological conditions, surgeries, medications, and infections. All patients had MRIM on permanent first molars. The primary second molars were the second most frequently involved, followed by maxillary permanent central incisors and primary first molars. The prevalence was low on permanent lateral incisors and canines. Extraction was the most prevalent treatment done on MRIM-affected teeth, and most extraction sockets were managed by the eruption of permanent second molars. Few cases received endodontic treatment but with low success rates. Early detection of MRIM and prompt, appropriate treatment are important to avoid unnecessary discomfort from complications.

This study sought to compare the amounts of posterior anchorage loss during the en masse retraction of the upper anterior teeth between orthodontic mini-implant (OMI) and conventional anchorage reinforcement (CAR) such as headgear and/or transpalatal arch. The subjects were 52 adult female patients treated with sliding mechanics (MBT brackets, .022" slot, .019X.025" stainless steel wire, 3M-Unitek, Monrovia, CA, USA). They were allocated into Group 1 (N=24, Class I malocclusion (CI), upper and lower first premolar (UP1LP1) extraction, and CAR), Group 2 (N=15, Cl, UP1LP1 extraction and OMI), and Group 3 (N=13, Class II division 1 malocclusion, upper first and lower second premolar extraction, and OMI). Lateral cephalograms were taken before (T0) and after treatment (T1). A total of 11 anchorage variables were measured. Analysis of variance was used for statistical analysis. There was no significant difference in treatment duration and anchorage variables at T0 among the three groups. Groups 2 and 3 showed significantly larger retraction of the upper incisor edge (U1E-sag, 9.3mm:7.3mm, P<.05) and less posterior anchorage loss (U6M-sag, 0.7~0.9mm:2mm, P<.05; U6A-sag, 0.5mm:2mm, P<.01) than Group 1. The ratio of retraction amount of the upper incisor edge per 1 of anchorage loss in the upper molar made for the significant difference between Groups 1 and 2 (4.6mm:7.0mm, P<.05). Group 3 showed a relatively distal inclination of the upper molar (P<.05) and the intrusion of the upper incisor and first molar (U1E-ver, P<.05; U6F-ver, P<.05) compared to Groups 1 and 2. Although OMI could not shorten the treatment duration, it could provide better maximum posterior anchorage than CAR.

상악 중절치의 매복은 소아 환자의 심미적 사회적 기능적 문제를 일으킬 수 있어 적절한 치료를 통해 바로잡아 주어야 한다. 상악 중절치 매복의 치료로 외과적 노출 후 교정적 견인이 어려울 경우 발치하기에 앞서 외과적 재위치(surgical repositioning) 혹은 치조 내 자가치아이식(intra-alveolar autotransplantation)을 고려해 볼 수 있다. 본 증례는 5세 9개월 된 남아의 역위 매복된 상악 우측 중절치를 치근 발육 초기인 Nolla's stage 6.5에 부분 맹출된 위치로 외과적 재위치를 시행하여 자발적 맹출을 기대하였으나 21개월 간의 추적 검사 결과 치근 발육 및 맹출이 정지된 증례이다. 그 원인으로서 수술 시 치배를 발거하고 치조와를 적합하는 과정에서 Hertwig's epithelial root sheath(HERS)가 손상 받았기 때문으로 생각된다. 매복 치아의 외과적 재위치 시에는 본 증례와 같이 합병증 발생 가능성이 있으므로 신중한 적응증의 선택, 치근 발달정도를 고려한 적절한 치료 시기의 결정, 최소한의 손상을 주는 외과적 술식 등의 노력이 필요할 것이다.

Odontogenic anomalies can occur as a result of conjoining defects. These include fusion, gemination and concrescence. The presence of fused teeth can lead to various clinical problems, including the aplasia of permanent successor, the supernumerary teeth and delayed eruption of permanent teeth. In general, the supernumerary teeth associated with fusion is mainly found in the maxillary anterior region. This report describes rare cases of supernumerary tooth associated with fused teeth of mandibular primary lateral incisor and canine. In the first case, fused teeth was extracted. The supernumerary teeth was erupted at canine space. The second case is still being observed. Extraction of fused teeth and observation of supernumerary teeth is planned.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the superimposition accuracy of digital modes for measuring tooth movement in patients requiring anterior retraction after premolar extraction based on the proposed reference regions. Methods: Forty patients treated with bilateral maxillary first premolar extraction were divided into two groups: moderate retraction (< 7.0 mm) and maximum retraction (≥ 7.0 mm). Central incisor displacement was measured using cephalometric superimpositions and three-dimensional (3D) digital superimpositions with the 3rd or 4th ruga as the reference point. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test and linear regression analyses were performed to test the significance of the differences and relationships between the two measurement techniques. Results: In the moderate retraction group, the central incisor anteroposterior displacement values did not differ significantly between 3D digital and cephalometric superimpositions. However, in the maximum-retraction group, significant differences were observed between the anteroposterior displacement evaluated by the 3rd ruga superimposition and cephalometric methods (p < 0.05). Conclusions: This study demonstrated that 3D digital superimpositions were clinically as reliable as cephalometric superimpositions in assessing tooth movements in patients requiring moderate retraction. However, the reference point should be carefully examined in patients who require maximum retraction.

영구 상악 절치의 매복은 매복이 흔한 제3대구치와 상악 견치에 비해서 드물지만 상악 중절치 미맹출을 주소로 내원한 학동기 아동에서 종종 관찰된다. 매복을 유발시키는 원인에 대해서는 많은 논란이 있으나 주 요인으로는 유치의 외상과 유치의 치근단 감염이 보고되고 있다. 특히 유치의 치근단 감염에 의한 매복설이 유력한데 병소의 압력에 의한 계승영구치의 회전, 변위등의 위치변화가 일어날 수 있다고 보고되고 있다. 매복치는 무엇보다도 조기에 발견하여 치료하는 것이 이로 인해 발생되는 부정교합이나 그 밖의 부작용을 예방할 수 있다. 일단 매복이 진단되면 방사선 검사를 통하여 위치 확인을 정확히 하는 것이 중요하며 치료에 앞서 전반적인 공간분석과 치료계획을 세워야 한다. 치료로는 교정적 견인, 또는 자가이식등이 있으며, 역위 매복된 경우가 아니라면 공간 확보만으로도 50%의 자발적 맹출을 보고하고 있다. 본 증례는 유치의 치근단 감염에 의해 역위 매복된 것으로 보이는 상악 중절치를 교정력을 이용해 정상적인 맹출로 바로 잡아준 결과 4-5개월만에 자발적으로 맹출하였기에 이에 보고하는 바이다.
