Objective: The aim of this finite element study was to clarify the mechanics of tooth movement in palatal en-masse retraction of segmented maxillary anterior teeth by using anchor screws and lever arms. Methods: A three-dimensional finite element method was used to simulate overall orthodontic tooth movements. The line of action of the force was varied by changing both the lever arm height and anchor screw position. Results: When the line of action of the force passed through the center of resistance (CR), the anterior teeth showed translation. However, when the line of action was not perpendicular to the long axis of the anterior teeth, the anterior teeth moved bodily with an unexpected intrusion even though the force was transmitted horizontally. To move the anterior teeth bodily without intrusion and extrusion, a downward force passing through the CR was necessary. When the line of action of the force passed apical to the CR, the anterior teeth tipped counterclockwise during retraction, and when the line of action of the force passed coronal to the CR, the anterior teeth tipped clockwise during retraction. Conclusions: The movement pattern of the anterior teeth changed depending on the combination of lever arm height and anchor screw position. However, this pattern may be unpredictable in clinical settings because the movement direction is not always equal to the force direction.

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.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to compare the width ratio of maxillary anterior teeth according to age in the Korean population and to evaluate the maxillary central incisor width-to-length (W/L) ratio, given differences in age and gender. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ninety-three Korean adults were divided into 3 groups (n = 31) by age. Group I was 20 - 39 years old, Group II was 40 - 59 years old, and Group III was over 60 years of age. After taking an impression and a cast model of the maxillary arch, the anterior teeth width ratio and central incisor W/L ratio were calculated from standard digital images of the cast models using a graph paper with a digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera. The calculated ratios were compared among all groups and central incisor W/L ratio were analyzed according to age and gender. All comparative data were statistically analyzed with one-sample t-tests, one-way ANOVAs with Tukey tests, and independent t-tests. RESULTS. No significant differences in maxillary anterior teeth ratios were found among the age groups. The maxillary central incisor W/L ratios in Group III were the greatest and were significantly higher than those in the other groups. The central incisor W/L ratio of men was higher than that of women in Group II. CONCLUSION. Maxillary anterior teeth width ratios were similar in all age groups in the Korean population. The maxillary central incisor was observed as worn teeth in the group over 60 years of age, and a significant difference between genders was found in 40 to 50 year olds.

This study was intended to investigate the effect of mesiodistal crown widths of the anterior teeth on the incisor relationship and to determine whether incisor width ratio and anterior width ratio could be used to assess interarch tooth width harmony. From the casts taken from 63 subjects, 26 of open bite, 18 of deep bite and 19 of normal over bite with age of 17-20, mesiodistal crown widths of maxillary and mandibular 6 anterior teeth were measured with Boley gauge. On the basis of tooth measurements, anterior and incisor width ratio were calculated. The cephalograms were taken from same subjects to measure the degree of over bite and over jet and to compare the craniofacial bony structures between open bite, deep bite and normal over bite. Correlations among the anterior width ratio, incisor width ratio, over bite and over jet were calculated. The results were as follows. 1. There were no differences in mesiodistal widths of anterior teeth, incisor width ratio and anterior width ratio between open bite, deep bite and normal over bite. 2. The incisor width ratio and anterior width ratio can be useful in the assessment of tooth width harmony because the incisor width ratio and anterior width ratio were stable statistically and significantly correlated with each other. 3. Over bite and over jet were not correlated with incisor width ratio and anterior width ratio.

Crown fractures are a common type of dental injuries and very frequently occurred on maxillary anterior teeth, area of requiring a rapid aesthetic recovery. Crown fragment reattachment is a simple and conservative method to restore the fractured teeth. The technique promotes esthetic outcomes as utilizing natural contour, shade, surface texture of teeth and gives mechanical similarity in terms of wear-resistance. Also it gives emotional positive responses to patients and requires less of chair time and costs. This case report presents two cases of crown fragment reattachments on maxillrary anterior teeth, including one complicated crown fracture and one uncomplicated crown fracture. If the fragment is available in cases of crown fractures, reattachment of fragment can be regarded as a predictable alternative. However, it is all the time important that a close conversation informing the patients about the limitations and prognoses of this treatment option.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the force mechanism of Multiloop Edgewise Arch Wire and the intensity and distribution of stresses with vertical and intermaxillary elastics. The obtained results were as follows. 1. When plain wires were inserted and vertical and intermaxillary elastics were used in the upper and lower arch, the stresses of the anterior and posterior ends of wires were observed greatly but the stresses of the premolar were very small. 2. When MEAW were inserted in upper and lower arch, the upper 1st and 2nd premolar and the lower 1st premolar were extruded greatly. 3. In the area of the upper 1st molar and the lower 2nd premolar and the lower 1st molar, any stresses were not observed. 4. The vertical elastic counteracted the intrusion force of the MEAW in the anterior teeth but could not affect on posterior teeth. Using with the Class II elastics, the distal tipping force and extrusion force were exerted in the upper anterior teeth and the intrusion forces of the lower anterior teeth were relieved. Using with the Class III elastics, the extrusion force were exerted in the upper and lower anterior teeth, the distal tipping force were increased in the lower posterior teeth. 5. The Class II elastic counteracted the anterior intrusion force of the MEAW and extruded and tipped mesially the lower 2nd molar. The intrusion force of the MEAW also could not overcome the extrusion force of the class II elastics. 6. When the Class III elastics were engaged, the upper 2nd molar was extruded in spite of the intrusion forces of the MEAW and the extrusion forces of the lower anterior teeth and distal tipping forces in the posterior teeth were observed.
