Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the transfer of different occlusal forces in various skeletal malocclusions using finite element analysis (FEA). Methods: Three representative human cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of three skeletal malocclusions were obtained from the Department of Orthodontics, Yonsei University Dental Hospital, Seoul, South Korea. The CBCT scans were read into the visualization software after separating bones and muscles by uploading the CBCT images into Mimics (Materialise). Two separate three-dimensional (3D) files were exported to visualize the solid morphology of skeletal outlines without considering the inner structures. Individual dental impressions were taken and stone models were scanned with a 3D scanner. These images were integrated and occlusal motions were simulated. Displacement and Von Mises stress were measured at the nodes of the FEA models. The displacement and stress distribution were analyzed. FEA was performed to obtain the 3D deformation of the mandibles under loads of 100, 150, 200, and 225 kg. Results: The distortion in all three skeletal malocclusions was comparable. Greater forces resulted in observing more distortion in FEA. Conclusions: Further studies are warranted to fully evaluate the impact of skeletal malocclusion on masticatory performance using information on muscle attachment and 3D temporomandibular joint movements.

This study was undertaken to find out the factor highly correlated to the depth of overbite among the skeletal factors of the craniofacial complex using lateral roentgenocephalograms. The subjects cconsited of fifty normal occlusions, sixty Class I malocclusions, sixty Class II division I malocclustions and sixty Class III malocclusions. The results were as follows: 1. Ans-Go-Me angle and lower genial angle showed high correlation to the depth of overbite in the total malocclusion sample. 2. The mean values of Ans-Go-Me angle and lower goinal angle for the normal sample were $49.8^{\circ}\;and\;75.6^{\circ}$, respectively. 3. Ans-Go-Me angle above $56^{\circ}$ or lower gonial angle above $84^{\circ}$ indicated a tendency toward an openbite. Conversely, Ans-Go-Me angle below $48^{\circ}$ or lower goinal angle below $73^{\circ}$ indicated a tendency toward a deepbite.

Purpose: This study investigated the position of the hyoid bone and its relationship with airway dimensions in different skeletal malocclusion classes using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: CBCT scans of 180 participants were categorized based on the A point-nasion-B point angle into class I, class II, and class III malocclusions. Eight linear and 2 angular hyoid parameters(H-C3, H-EB, H-PNS, H-Me, H-X, H-Y, H-[C3-Me], C3-Me, H-S-Ba, and H-N-S) were measured. A 3-dimensional airway model was designed to measure the minimum cross-sectional area, volume, and total and upper airway length. The mean crosssectional area, morphology, and location of the airway were also evaluated. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance and the Pearson correlation test, with P values <0.05 indicating statistical significance. Results: The mean airway volume differed significantly among the malocclusion classes(P<0.05). The smallest and largest volumes were noted in class II (2107.8±844.7 ㎣) and class III (2826.6±2505.3 ㎣), respectively. The means of most hyoid parameters (C3-Me, C3-H, H-Eb, H-Me, H-S-Ba, H-N-S, and H-PNS) differed significantly among the malocclusion classes. In all classes, H-Eb was correlated with the minimum cross-sectional area and airway morphology, and H-PNS was correlated with total airway length. A significant correlation was also noted between H-Y and total airway length in class II and III malocclusions and between H-Y and upper airway length in class I malocclusions. Conclusion: The position of the hyoid bone was associated with airway dimensions and should be considered during orthognathic surgery due to the risk of airway obstruction.

최근 컴퓨터 소프트웨어의 발전으로 환자의 모형을 scanning하여 3차원 가상 모델을 만드는 것이 가능하게 되었다. 이러한 모델은 컴퓨터로 처리되어 치료 시작부터 끝까지 여러 단계의 치아 이동이 이루어지고, 치아 이동의 각 단계별로 stereolithographic model이 만들어 지는데, 이는 일련의 투명하고 얇은 overlay 장치를 제작하는 기초가 된다. 계획된 치아 이동의 단계에 따라 치아를 움직이기 위해서는 환자가 장치를 항상 사용해야 하며, 중정도의 crowding과 공간 폐쇄는 이 장치로 치료가 용이하다는 것이 입증되었다. 지금까지 이 장치를 경험해 본 결과, 고정성 교정장치에 비해 환자가 불편을 덜 느끼고 심미성과 구강 청결이 좋아 환자의 협조도가 뛰어 났다. 이 장치는 완전히 맹출된 영구치열 환자에서 부정교합에 대한 또 하나의 유용한 접근법이라 할 수 있다.

Objective: To evaluate lower incisor position and bony support between patients with Class II average- and high-angle malocclusions and compare with the patients presenting Class I malocclusions. Methods: CBCT records of 79 patients were divided into 2 groups according to sagittal jaw relationships: Class I and II. Each group was further divided into average- and high-angle subgroups. Six angular and 6 linear measurements were performed. Independent samples t-test, Kruskal-Wallis, and Dunn post-hoc tests were performed for statistical comparisons. Results: Labial alveolar bone thickness was significantly higher in Class I group compared to Class II group (p = 0.003). Lingual alveolar bone angle (p = 0.004), lower incisor protrusion (p = 0.007) and proclination (p = 0.046) were greatest in Class II average-angle patients. Spongious bone was thinner (p = 0.016) and root apex was closer to the labial cortex in high-angle subgroups when compared to the Class II average-angle subgroup (p = 0.004). Conclusions: Mandibular anterior bony support and lower incisor position were different between average- and high-angle Class II patients. Clinicians should be aware that the range of lower incisor movement in high-angle Class II patients is limited compared to average- angle Class II patients.

Objective: This randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the stability of mandibular arch orthodontic treatment outcomes between passive self-ligating and conventional systems during 6 months of retention. Methods: Forty-seven orthodontic patients with mild to moderate crowding malocclusions not requiring extraction were recruited based on inclusion criteria. Patients (mean age $21.58{\pm}2.94years$) were randomized into two groups to receive either passive self-ligating ($Damon^{(R)}$ 3MX, n = 23) or conventional system (Gemini MBT, n = 24) orthodontic treatment. Direct measurements of the final sample comprising 20 study models per group were performed using a digital caliper at the debonding stage, and 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after debonding. Paired t-test, independent t-test, and non-parametric test were used for statistical analysis. Results: A significant increase (p < 0.01) in incisor irregularity was observed in both self-ligating and conventional system groups. A significant reduction (p < 0.01) in second interpremolar width was observed in both groups. Mandibular arch length decreased significantly (p = 0.001) in the conventional system group but not in the self-ligating system group. A similar pattern of stability was observed for intercanine width, first interpremolar width, intermolar width, and arch depth throughout the 6-month retention period after debonding. Comparison of incisor irregularity and arch dimension changes between self-ligating system and conventional system groups during the 6 months were non-significant. Conclusions: The stability of treatment outcomes for mild to moderate crowding malocclusions was similar between the self-ligating system and conventional system during the first 6 months of retention.

물론 과학적인 연구가 더 필요하겠지만, 적절한 교합고경은 주위 저작근과 조화를 이루면서, 최적의 기능을 발휘할 수 있어야 하며, 오랜기간 일정하게 유지를 할 수 있는 위치여야 한다. 가끔은 높아진(길어진) 치관 때문에 근육기능에 직접 영향을 미치거나, 치아나 주변지지 조직에 유해한 영향을 미치기도 한다. 적절한 교합고경을 찾기 위한 방법으로 rest position만을 활용하는 것은 상당히 조심할 필요가 있다. 자세나 개인에 따라서 freeway space가 상당히 가변적이기 때문이다. 연하작용 또한 근신경계의 기능에 중요한 역할을 하지만, 정상적인 범주를 찾기란 쉽지 않다. 그러므로 이런 경우에는, 환자가 스스로 생리적으로 적응할 수 있는 방법과 기간을 부여해 줄 필요가 있다. 레진 임시수복물의 일시적 사용이 그 해결책이 될 수 있다. 가철성 혹은 고정성 형태를 판단하는 것은 환자의 치료 범주에 따라 달라질 수 있을 것이다.
