This present paper describes 3 clinical cases which were treated with Bioprogressive mechanism. Each patient has shown a deficient maxilla combined with prognathic and steep mandible. The purpose of treatment was planned to obtain the forward growth of maxilla and redirectioning of mandibular growth. The most noteworthy approach in the treatment was the application of Cl III intermaxillary elastics with upper protraction utility arch immediately after rapid maxillary expansion. In the analysis of the data obtained from pre- and post treatment lateral cephalogram, the result achieved by this method is very favolable to the correction of anteroposterior relationship of maxilla and mandible.

Ossifying fibromas are benign fibro-osseous tumors of mesenchymal origin. Although ossifying fibromas have principally been found in the jaw, they have also been reported in the frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and temporal bones, as well as the orbit and anterior cranial fossa. Ossifying fibromas affecting the jaw exhibit variable behaviors ranging from slow growth to occasionally aggressive local destruction. In the present article, we discuss a differential diagnosis considered for maxillary swellings and report a rare case of ossifying fibroma occurring in the maxilla.

Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant tumor of bone. The mean age of occurrence of osteosarcoma in the jaws is around 30, somewhat older than for other sites in the body. These lesions occur about equally in the maxilla and mandible. They most frequently develop in the body in the mandible, and the antrum and the posterior portion of alveolar ridge in the maxilla. We report a case of osteosarcoma in 35 years old female complaining swelling of the left cheek. Radiographic features showed cotton wool appearance in upper left posterior area. Histopathologic findings exhibited pleomorphic malignant osteoblasts and neoplastic osteoid.

Familial gigantiform cementoma is a rare fibre-cemento-osseous disease of the jaws which appears to be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait with variable expressivity of the phenotype. A 7-year-old girl visited DKUDH complaining of the painless facial deformity. Clinically, significant facio-lingual expansion was observed at the left maxilla, left mandibular body and symphysis portion. Malposition of lower anterior teeth was found. Panoramic radiograph and CT scan showed the extensive expansile mixed lesion at maxilla and mandible. Bone scan revealed hot spot at the maxilla and left side of mandible. Histologic examination revealed moderately dense fibrous connective tissue with scattered masses resembling cementum. The patient's mother had a history of the mandibular resection due to benign tumor. Her younger brother had buccal expansion of right mandible. We report our finding of a family that has exhibited clinical, radiographic and histologic findings consistent with the familial gigantiform cementoma.

Benign fibro-osseous lesions occur when normal bone is replaced by cellular fibrous connective tissue and mineralized structures. One rare type of these lesions is the ossifying fibroma (OF). The aim of this study is to report an unusual case of OF in a 57-year-old female. Physical examination showed facial asymmetry without any tenderness, fluctuation, ocular pain, or ophthalmoplegia. Imaging exams revealed a solid mass involving the left maxilla and orbital floor. Surgical resection was performed without any complications or sequelae, and the histopathological results confirmed OF. Although recurrence is rare in this condition, the patient remains under follow-up.

상악동의 발육이 미숙한 유아의 상악동염은 성인에 비하여 동점막의 변화가 심하며 동의 자연개구부가 폐쇄되면 쉽게 동속에 화농이 일어나고 골 변화를 잘 일으키며 골막에 해당하는 심층의 결체조직은 동주위골벽의 골수강과도 밀접한 관계가 있어 점막의 화농이 쉽게 상악골 골수염이 될 수 있다. 또 이러한 변화는 골 변화 뿐만 아니라 주위조직에도 심한 변화를 일으킨다. 저자는 5세 소아에 있어서 급성 상악동염에 병발한 상악골 골수염 및 안와 봉와직염 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

The canalis sinuosus (CS) and its accessory canals (ACs) are anatomical structures in the anterior maxilla. These structures are often neglected when planning implant surgery because their clinical significance is still not well-defined. After a retrospective evaluation of 194 patients rehabilitated with dental implants in the anterior maxilla, 3 patients were identified who presented unexpected chronic neurosensory disturbances without any clinical signs supportive of implant failure. Tomographic assessment using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) revealed the invasion of the CS and ACs by dental implants, which appeared to explain the patients' symptoms. The purpose of this report was to familiarize practicing dentists and specialists with the CS and its ACs. Unanticipated neurosensory symptoms after implant placement in the anterior maxilla justify the use of CBCT to rule out an injury to this neurovascular bundle.

Purpose: Reposition of the maxilla is a common technique for correction of midfacial deformities. To achieve the goal of the surgery, the maxilla should be repositioned based on the precisely planned position during surgery. The internal reference points (IRPs) and the external reference points (ERPs) are usually used to determine vertical dimension of maxilla, which is an important factor for confirming maxillary position. However, the IRPs are known to be inaccurate in determining the vertical dimension. In this study, we investigated the correlation of positional change of the modified IRPs with repositioned maxilla. Methods: The study group consisted of 26 patients with dentofacial deformities. For the simulation of the surgery, patient maxillary CT data and 3-D virtual surgery programs (V-$Works^{(R)}$ and V-$Surgery^{(R)}$) were used. IRPs of this study were set on both the lateral wall of piriform aperture, inferior margin of both infraorbital foramen, and the labial surfaces of the canine and first molar. The distance from the point on lateral wall of the piriform aperture to the point on the buccal surface of the canine was defined as IRP-C, and the distance from the point on the inferior margin of the infraorbital foramen to the point on the buccal surface of the $1^{st}$ molar was defined as IRP-M. After the virtual simulation of Le Fort I osteotomy, the changes in IRP-C and IRP-M were compared with the maxillary movement. All measures were analyzed statistically. Results: With respect to vertical movements, the IRP-C (approximately 98%) and the IRP-M (approximately 96%) represented the movement of the canine and the $1^{st}$ molar. Regarding rotating movement, the IRPs changed according to the movement of the canine and the $1^{st}$ molar. In particular, the IRP-C was changed in accordance with the canine. Conclusion: IRPs could be good indicators for predicting vertical movements of the maxilla during surgery.

This study was focused on the distribution of different facial types of the Class II division I malocclusion groups and skeletal characteristics of the each group and those that anteropsterior relationship of the maxilla and mandible calculated from the analysis of ANB angle and Wits appraisal was quite different from each other, as well. Cephalometric headplates of 140 persons of Class II division 1 malocclusion whose mean age was 11.2 years and 69 persons of normal occlusion whose mean age was 12.2 years were utilize as materials. Measurements were recorded, tabulated and statistically analyzed employing the tracings of the lateral cephalograms, then Class II division 1 malocclusion group was divided into 9 Types according to the angle of SNA and SNB for the anteroposterior relationship of the maxilla and mandible, another 9 Types according to the FH-NPog and SN-MP for the horisontal and vertical relationship, and the other 9 Types according to the ANB and Wits appraisal for intermaxillary relationship as well, with which was based on $Mean{\pm}$ 1SD of those of normal occlusion. The result allowed the following conclusion: 1. $37.1\%$ of population demonstrated maxilla within nounal range and retrognathic mandible to the cranial base, $30\%$ for both maxilla and mandible within normal range, $20\%$ for retrognathic maxilla and mandible and $12.9\%$ of the rest were ananged in Class II division 1 maloccusion groups. 2. Retrognathic mandible and hyperdivergent face accounted for $30.7\%$, mesognathic mandible and neutrodivergent face for $29.3\%$, mesognathic mandible and hyperdivergent face for $16.4\%$, retrognathic mandible and neutrodivergent face for $13.6\%$, mesognathic mandible and hypodivergent face for $10\%$ of population were computed in Class II division 1 malocclusion groups. 3. It was suggested that skeletal Class II malocclusion might be due to anomaly in size and shape of cranial base, underdevelopment of mandible, retropositioning of mandible, underdevelopment of posterior face against anterior face, or any combination of these factors. 4. Population with underdevelopment and / or retropositioning of the mandible showed hyperdivergent tendency of facia profile. 5. The ANB angle and Wits appraisal did not coincide the severity of anteroposterior dysplasia in $35.7\%$ of Class II division 1 malocclusion group each other, and this inconsistency was suggested to be related with mandibular rotation, inclination of cranial base, and anteroposterior position of the maxilla.

골격성 부정교합에 대한 악정형 치료시, 바람직한 악정형 효과를 얻기 위해서는 악정형 장치의 역학 현상에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 상악의 저성장에 기인한 골격성 III급 부정교합의 치료를 위한 상악골의 전방견인시 바람직한 견인력 방향과 견인 위치를 알아보기 위해, 성인 두개골을 대상으로 3차원 유한 요소 모델을 제작하여, 제1소구치와 제1대구치에서 각각 교합평면에 평행 또는 $20^{\circ}$ 하방으로 500g의 전방 견인력을 주어 상악골체의 각 부분에서 응력과 변위를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 모든 경우 상악골이 반시계 방향으로 회전하는 양상을 보였다. 2. 견인력 방향에 따른 상악골의 회전은, $20^{\circ}$ 하방으로 견인하는 경우가 평행하게 견인하는 경우보다 더 적었다. 3. 견인 위치에 따른 상악골의 회전은, 평행하게 견인시에는 견인 위치가 제1대구치일 때가, $20^{\circ}$ 하방으로 견인시에는 제1소구치일 때가 더 적었다. 이상의 결과 견인력 작용선이 상악골체의 저항 중심점에 가장 근접하여 반시계 방향으로의 변위가 가장 적게 일어난 제1소구치에서 $20^{\circ}$ 하방으로 견인한 경우가 바람직한 견인력 방향과 견인 위치로 판단되었다.
