Purpose: To analyze the dimensions of the embrasure space between the maxillary central incisors as potential factors influencing interdental papilla fill and height. Methods: The embrasure dimensions between the maxillary central incisors of 100 subjects (40 females/60 males) were assessed with clinical, study model, and radiographic examinations. Variables of the complete and deficient papilla fill groups were compared. Multiple regression analyses were performed to investigate potential influence of the distance between the contact point and bone crest (CP_BC), horizontal interdental distance (HID), and facio-lingual thickness (FLT) at the papilla base on complete/deficient papilla fill and papilla height (PH). Results: CP_BC was the only variable that showed a significant difference between the complete and deficient papilla groups (P<0.05). When the CP_BC was less than 5 mm, the embrasure spaces between the maxillary central incisors were completely filled with interdental papilla. Multiple regression analyses revealed that a significant predictor for complete/deficient papilla fill was CP_BC, and significant predictors for PH were CP_BC and HID (P<0.05). Conclusions: The chances of complete papilla fill increased as CP_BC decreased, while PH increased as CP_BC and HID increased. However, the FLT of the papilla base did not appear to affect papilla fill or PH. From an esthetic perspective, CP_BC as well as HID should be considered as factors influencing the topography of interdental papilla.

Objectives: Management of a horizontal root fracture of an anterior teeth is challenging and often requires multiple approaches for improving the functional and esthetic outcomes. This case report describes the treatment and 2-yr follow up of 3 maxillary incisors with horizontal root fracture. Two maxillary central incisors were treated with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (ProRoot MTA, Dentsply, Tulsa, OK, USA). Left maxillary lateral incisors were treated with endodontic treatment and submerged. During 2-yr of follow-up evaluation, the root-fractured teeth of the present patients were well retained in the arch, showing periodontal healing even after endodontic treatment.

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.

과잉치의 발거시기는 조기발거와 지연발거로 나뉠 수 있으며 각각의 장단점이 있으며 특히 상악 중절치에 미치는 영향이 크다. 이 연구에서는 과잉치 발거 후 3개월 이상 추적관찰이 시행된 166명을 조사하여 최적의 과잉치 발거시기를 결정하고자 하였다. 환자의 나이가 어리고, 상악 중절치 미맹출 혹은 발육단계가 낮고, Hellman's dental stage상 낮은 단계에서 정중선 변위는 적게 일어났다. 정중이개와 상악 중절치의 회전, 추적 관찰 기간에 따른 변화는 통계적 유의성이 없었다. 상악 중절치가 아직 맹출하지 않은 경우라 하더라도 파노라마 방사선 사진을 촬영하여 정중선 변위가 보인다면 이른 시기에 과잉치를 발거할 필요가 있다. 이 연구는 상악 중절치의 위치 변위에 따라 과잉치의 발거시기를 결정하는 데에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate vertical bone loss and alveolar bone thickness in the maxillary and mandibular incisors of patients with skeletal class III malocclusion. This study also aimed to evaluate the periodontal condition of class III malocclusion patients who had not undergone orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: The sample included cone-beam computed tomography scans of 24 Korean subjects (3 male and 21 female). Alveolar bone thickness (ABT), alveolar bone area (ABA), alveolar bone loss (ABL), and fenestration of the maxillary and mandibular incisors were measured using 3-dimensional imaging software. Results: All incisors displayed an ABT of less than 1.0 mm from the labial surface to root level 7 (70% of the root length). A statistically significant difference was observed between the mandibular labial and lingual ABAs and between the maxillary labial and mandibular labial ABAs. The lingual ABA of the mandibular lateral incisors was larger than that of the mandibular central incisors. ABL was severe on the labial surface. A statistically significant difference was observed between the maxillary and mandibular labial ABL values(21.8% and 34.4%, respectively). Mandibular lingual ABL (27.6%) was significantly more severe than maxillary lingual ABL (18.3%) (P<0.05). Eighty-two fenestrations were found on the labial surfaces of the incisors, while only 2 fenestrations were observed on the lingual surfaces. Fenestrations were most commonly observed at root level 6. Conclusion: Careful evaluation is needed before orthodontic treatment to avoid iatrogenic damage of periodontal support when treating patients with class III malocclusion.

The aim of this clinical report is to describe the complex treatment of an adult Class III malocclusion patient who was disappointed with the outcome of a previous oral rehabilitation. Interdisciplinary treatment planning was performed with a primary indication for implant removal because of marginal bone loss and gingival recession, followed by orthodontic and surgical procedures to correct the esthetics and skeletal malocclusion. The comprehensive treatment approach included: (1) implant removal in the area of the central incisors; (2) combined orthodontic decompensation with mesial displacement and forced extrusion of the lateral incisors; (3) extraction of the lateral incisors and placement of new implants corresponding to the central incisors, which received provisional crowns; (4) orthognathic surgery for maxillary advancement to improve occlusal and facial relationships; and finally, (5) orthodontic refinement followed by definitive prosthetic rehabilitation of the maxillary central incisors and reshaping of the adjacent teeth. At the three-year follow-up, clinical and radiographic examinations showed successful replacement of the central incisors and improved skeletal and esthetic appearances. Moreover, a Class II molar relationship was obtained with an ideal overbite, overjet, and intercuspation. In conclusion, we report the successful esthetic anterior rehabilitation of a complex case in which interdisciplinary treatment planning improved facial harmony, provided gingival architecture with sufficient width and thickness, and improved smile esthetics, resulting in enhanced patient comfort and satisfaction. This clinical case report might be useful to improve facial esthetics and occlusion in patients with dentoalveolar and skeletal defects.

The arrangement of anterior artificial teeth is an important factor on the esthetics in the construction of complete dentures and prostheses. During construction of the complete denture the position of maxillary central incisor plays an important role in the arrangements of artificial teeth. The proper position of maxillary central incisor provides natural appearance of anterior teeth and the anterior reference point of occlusal plane. Many methods have been utilized to eatablish the position of the maxillary central incisor in complete denture prosthodontics. However, there has not been provided for the reference for Korean yet. This study was aimed to extablish a guide for the position of the maxillary central inciosr in Koreans. The horizontal and vertical distance between the maxillary central incisor and incisive papilla in Koreans were measured. 1. The mean value of horizontal distance from the maxillary central incisor to the incisive papilla had significant sexual difference, The average distance was 12.648mm in male and 11.385mm in female. 2. The horizontal distance of the incisive papilla had sexual difference, the average distance was 6.182mm in male and 5.622mm in female. 3. The vertical distance from the maxillary central incisor to the incisive papilla had not sexual difference, the average distance was 7.21mm. 4. The crown length of the maxillary central inciosrs from the distal interdental papilla had not sexual difference, the right central incisor was 6.40mm(mean) and the left central inciosr was 6.43mm(mean). 5. The clinical crown length of the maxillary central incisors had not sexual difference, the right central incisor 10.35mm(mean) and the left central incisor was 10.43mm(mean). 6. The shapes of the incisive papilla were pear(68.4%), oval(16%), triangular(6%), irregular(5%), rectangular(4%), and inverted pear(1%) shape.
