Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the adaptation of a straight wire between brackets positioned at the mid-lingual surface and those placed gingivally by using a three-dimensional simulation software. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed using OrthoAid, an in-house software. The subjects were 36 adolescents with normal Class I occlusion. For each dental cast, two bracket positioning approaches, namely the middle and gingival, were examined. In the middle group, the reference points were placed on the mid-lingual surface of each tooth, while in the gingival group, the reference points were positioned lingually on the anterior teeth. A 4th degree polynomial was adopted, and the in-plane and off-plane root mean squares (RMSs) of the distances between the reference points and the fitted polynomial curve were calculated using the software. Statistical analysis was performed using the paired-samples t-test (${\alpha}=0.05$). Results: The mean in-plane RMS of the polynomial curve to the bracket distance in the gingival group was significantly lower than that in the middle group (p < 0.001). The off-plane RMS was higher in the gingivally positioned brackets in the maxilla than in the middle group (p < 0.001). However, the off-plane RMS in mandible was not statistically significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.274). Conclusions: The results demonstrated that the gingival placement of lingual brackets on the anterior teeth could decrease the distance between a tooth and the straight wire.

Root resorption can be caused by several factors, including contact with the cortical bone. Here we report a case involving a 21-year-old female with Angle Class II, division 1 malocclusion who exhibited significant root resorption in the maxillary right central incisor after orthodontic treatment. The patient presented with significant left-sided deviation of the maxillary incisors due to lingual dislocation of the left lateral incisor and a Class II molar relationship. Cephalometric analysis demonstrated a Class I skeletal relationship (A point-nasion-B point, 2.5°) and proclined maxillary anterior teeth (upper incisor to sella-nasion plane angle, 113.4°). The primary treatment objectives were the achievement of stable occlusion with midline agreement between the maxillary and mandibular dentitions and appropriate maxillary anterior tooth axes and molar relationship. A panoramic radiograph obtained after active treatment showed significant root resorption in the maxillary right central incisor; therefore, we performed cone-beam computed tomography, which confirmed root resorption along the cortical bone around the incisive canal. The findings from this case, where different degrees of root resorption were observed despite comparable degrees of orthodontic movement in the bilateral maxillary central incisors, suggest that the incisive canal could be an inducing factor for root resorption. However, further investigation is necessary to confirm this assumption.

교정치료란 동적인(dynamic)진료행위 임에도 불구하고 치료를 위해 사용하는 교정장치의 효과를 평가하는데 있어서는 정적인(static) 방법이 주로 이용되어왔다. 대부분의 교정의들은 동일한 치료목표를 위해 여러 종류의 장치가 제시될때 과연 어떠한 장치가 상대적으로 치료결과 및 치료기간 면에서 상대적으로 더 우수한가를 알고 싶어한다. 이에 본 저자들은 구치부 교차교합 해결을 위해 사용하고 있는 PLA중 Burstone식 PLA(single force응용)와 구치직립식 PLA(couple기전 응용) 간의 치아이동 기전과 치아이동 시간의 상대적 차이를 규명하고 얻어진 결과를 임상에 적용하기 위하여 본 교실에서 개발, 제작한 Calorific machine을 이용하여 실험한 후 정상치와 경사치의 이동양상과 치아이동시간을 계측하여 paired t-test를 한 결과 다음과 같은 결론를 얻었다. 1. 구치직립식 PLA가 Burstone식 PLA 보다 경사치의 정출량과 치근의 수평이동량이 더 큰것으로 나타났다(p=0.0000). 2. 구치직립식 PLA 사용시 정상치 (upright molar)의 치아이동은 없는 것으로 나타났으나(P=0.3475) Burstone식 PLA는 미미한 양(0.2mm)이지만 있는 것으로 관찰되었다(p=0.0001). 3. 경사치의 치아이동시간이 Burstone식 PLA의 경우 약 17.8분 정도 소요되었으나 구치직립식 PLA는 3.8분으로 나타났다(P=0.0001).

Computerized 3D virtual dental models are currently available, and their use has started to improve treatment outcomes. The accuracy of digital models has been demonstrated by many studies and various intra-oral scanners are innovated for short scanning time and high precision. Recently, a digital model was combined with a high technology computer-driven system, which was developed for the application of a digital set-up and indirect bonding of lingual attachments. In this section, virtual treatment planning using a virtual set-up program is be introduced, and the clinical applications and accuracy of computer-generated indirect bonding are discussed.

It is a relatively common clinical experience to see a impacted maxillary central incisor. This is apparent at the dental age of about eight years and over, when the patient is in the early mixed dentition stage. The adjacent teeth may tilt toward the site of the missing tooth with resulting space closure and midline deviation. Most often, the central incisor is impacted labially. The labial impaction has been indicated as the most difficult to manage. Each of the current articles describing labial impactions shows at least one case with mucogingival recession or a minimal zone of attached gingiva. This report described the surgical uncovering and orthodontic-physiologic positioning methods with labially impacted maxillary central incisors. Through surgical exposure and direct bonding of lingual botton, the central incisors were brought into proper eruption path with elastic traction. The case 1 and 2 were treated with the physiologic erupting forces. The case 3 was applied with continuous orthodontic force. The case 1 and 2 resulted in good positioning, good esthetics and adequate width of keratinised gingiva. The case 3 resulted in local inflammation and inadequate width of keratinised gingiva.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop superimposition method on the lower arch using 3-dimensional (3D) cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images and orthodontic 3D digital modeling. Methods: Integrated 3D CBCT images were acquired by substituting the dental portion of 3D CBCT images with precise dental images of an orthodontic 3D digital model. Images were acquired before and after treatment. For the superimposition, 2 superimposition methods were designed. Surface superimposition was based on the basal bone structure of the mandible by surface-to-surface matching (best-fit method). Plane superimposition was based on anatomical structures (mental and lingual foramen). For the evaluation, 10 landmarks including teeth and anatomic structures were assigned, and 30 times of superimpositions and measurements were performed to determine the more reproducible and reliable method. Results: All landmarks demonstrated that the surface superimposition method produced relatively more consistent coordinate values. The mean distances of measured landmarks values from the means were statistically significantly lower with the surface superimpositions method. Conclusions: Between the 2 superimposition methods designed for the evaluation of 3D changes in the lower arch, surface superimposition was the simpler, more reproducible, reliable method.

전치부 공극의 치료법으로는 교정적인 폐쇄, 수술에 의한 방법, 보철에 의한 치료등의 방법이 있으며 이중 교정적인 폐쇄에 의한 치료법은 가장 보존적인 방법으로 많이 사용되고 있으나 그 치료이후의 보정에 많은 문제가 있었다. 저자등은 전치부 공극을 가진 3증례의 치료후 재발과정과 보정과정을 관찰한 결과 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있었다. 양 중절치가 서로 직접 연결되지 않는 보정장치의 사용은 영구보철물에 의한 경우에도 재발을 가져왔다. $\cdot$ 교정적으로 공극을 폐쇄한후, 순소대절제술, circumferential supracrestal fibrotomy 그리고 양 중절치가 서로 연결된 설측 부착 보정장치의 시행으로 좋은 유지 효과를 얻었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 볼때 전치부 공극은 교정적 치료후, 순소대절제술, fibrotomy등을 시행한 후 반드시 양 중절치를 연결하는 고정성 보정 장치가 필요하다고 생각된다.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate changes of the alveolar bone and interdental bone septum of the mandibular incisors through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) after orthodontic treatment of mandibular dental crowding without dental extraction. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 64 CBCT images(32 pre-treatment and 32 post-treatment) from 32 adult patients with class I malocclusion and an average age of 23.0±3.9 years. The width and height of the alveolar bone and interdental septum, the distance between the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and the facial and lingual bone crests, and the inclination of the mandibular incisors were measured. Results: The distance between the CEJ and the marginal bone crest on the facial side increased significantly (P<0.05). An increased distance between the CEJ and the bone crest on the facial and lingual sides showed a correlation with the irregularity index (P<0.05); however, no significant association was observed with increasing mandibular incisor inclination (P>0.05). The change in the distance between the CEJ and the marginal bone crest on the facial side was correlated significantly with bone septum height(P<0.05). Conclusion: Bone dehiscence developed during the treatment of crowding without extraction only on the incisors' facial side. Increasing proclination of the mandibular incisor was not correlated with bone dehiscence. The degree of dental crowding assessed through the irregularity index was associated with the risk of developing bone dehiscence. The interdental septum reflected facial marginal bone loss in the mandibular incisors.

Objective: Planning of incisal position is crucial for optimal orthodontic treatment outcomes due to its consequences on facial esthetics and occlusion. A systematic summary of the proposed parameters is presented. Methods: Studies on Google Scholar^©, PubMed^©, and Cochrane Library, providing quantitative information on optimal central incisor position were included. Results: Upper incisors supero-inferior position (4-5 mm to upper lip, 67-73 mm to axial plane through pupils), antero-posterior position (3-4 mm to Nasion-A, 3-6 mm to A-Pogonion, 9-12 mm to true vertical line, 5 mm to A-projection, 9-10 mm to coronal plane through pupils), bucco-lingual angulation (4-7° to occlusal plane perpendicular on models, 20-22° to Nasion-A, 57-58° to upper occlusal plane, 16-20° to coronal plane through pupils, 108-110° to anterior-posterior nasal spine), mesio-distal angulation (5° to occlusal plane perpendicular on models). Lower incisors supero-inferior position (41-48 mm to soft-tissue mandibular plane), antero-posterior position (3-4 mm to Nasion-B, 1-3 mm to A-Pogonion, 12-15 mm to true vertical line, 6-8 mm to coronal plane through pupils), bucco-lingual angulation (1-4° to occlusal plane perpendicular on models, 87-94° to mandibular plane, 68° to Frankfurt plane, 22-25° to Nasion-B, 105° to occlusal plane, 64° to lower occlusal plane, 21° to A-Pogonion), mesio-distal angulation (2° to occlusal plane perpendicular on models). Conclusions: Although these findings can provide clinical guideline, they derive from heterogeneous studies in terms of subject characteristics and reference methods. Therefore, the optimal incisal position remains debatable.

교정치료에 있어서 고정원은 진단 및 치료계획에서부터 치료 종료 단계까지 항상 염두에 두어야 하는 중요한 요소이다. 전통적으로 고정원의 조절을 위하여 차등력, 차등모멘트, 구내 고정원, 구외 고정원 등의 다양한 방법들이 사용되어져 왔다. 그러나 이러한 방법들은 원치 않는 치아의 이동이 발생할 수 있고 환자의 협조도가 필요하다는 한계가 있다. 따라서 환자의 협조도나 주변 치아에 의존하지 않는 골격성 고정원(skeletal anchorage)이 전통적인 방법들의 단점을 극복할 수 있는 대안으로 제시되었다. 골격성 고정원의 종류로는 implant, onplant, miniplate, miniscrew 등이 있다. 이 중에서 miniscrew는 환자의 협조도 감소, 술식의 간편성, 저렴한 비용, 식립부위의 다양성 등의 장점을 가지고 있어 교정치료 시 유용하게 이용될 수 있다. 본 증례는 이소성 맹출 경로를 보이는 상악 견치와 매복된 하악 견치의 견인, 정출된 상악 전치의 압하에 miniscrew를 이용하여 양호한 결과를 보였기에 보고하는 바이다.
