본 연구는 스크류의 역학적인 특성을 알아보고자 세 종류의 self-drilling형의 교정용 미니 스크류 (Type A; 순수한 원통형, Type B; 내경이 증가하는 구간이 있는 부분적인 원통형, Type C; 원통형과 원추형이 함께 있는 복합형)를 피질골의 두께를 다르게 설정한 인공골 시편에 삽입하였다. 일정한 회전 속도와 수직력을 부여할 수 있는 구동식 토오크 시험기(Biomaterials Korea, Seoul, Korea)를 이용하여 삽입 토오크를 측정하고 만능시험기(Instron 3366, Instron, Norwood, MA, USA)를 이용하여 Pull-out 강도를 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 피질골 두께의 증가에 따른 최대 삽입 토오크(maximum insertion torque) 값은 Type A는 차이가 없는 반면(p > 0.05), Type B와 Type C에서는 유의한 증가가 관찰되었다 (p < 0.05). 모든 피질골 두께에서 Type C > Type A > Type B의 순으로 최대 삽입 토오크 값이 크게 나타났다 (p < 0.05). Pull-out 강도는 모든 경우에 Type A가 Type B와 Type C보다 낮게 측정되었다 (p < 0.05). Type별로 피질골 두께와 최대 삽입 토오크, Pull-out 강도 간에 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계가 있었다 (p < 0.05). 이상의 결과는 미니 스크류 식립을 위한 디자인 선택 시 식립부위의 피질골 두께를 고려해야 함을 시사한다.

The test fit has commonly used for the evaluation of the railbed condition, and indirect methods by using the compressional wave are also studied. the direct evaluation method by penetration test has not been studied. For the measurement of in-situ cone tip resistance of the railbed with minimizing the disturbance of the upper railbed. the cone penetrometer with the helical type outer rod(CPH) was developed. The outer rod, which has helical screw, is penetrated through the gravel layer and provides the reaction force for cone penetration testing. the cone tip resistances are measured by the mini cone penetrometer, where diameter is 15mm. For the developing the mini cone, strain gauge installation, circuit configuration, penetration rates and calibration process are considered. For the easy penetration of the screw rod in the field, the reaction force stepping plate and guide column are arranged. The screw rod are penetrated through the gravel layer. And the mini cone was pushed into the subgrade railbed at the penetration rate of 1mm/sec. The penetration test shows that the cone tip resistance increases along the depth. In addition, the subgrade condition is evaluated. This study demonstrates that the CPH may be effectively used for the evaluation of subgrade method any damage of the gravel layer.

This case report describes the orthodontic treatment performed for open bite caused by internal derangement (ID) and osteoarthritis (OA) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). A Japanese woman, aged 31 years and 11 months, referred to our department by an oral surgeon had an open bite with clockwise rotation of the mandible and degeneration of the condyle. The overbite was corrected through intrusion of the maxillary and mandibular molars using mini-screw implants to induce counterclockwise rotation of the mandible. Then, the mandibular second premolars were extracted and comprehensive orthodontic treatment was performed to establish a Class I molar relationship with distalization of the maxillary arch and to eliminate anterior crowding. Following treatment, her facial profile improved and a functional and stable occlusion was achieved without recurrence of the TMJ symptoms. These results suggest that orthodontic intrusion of the molars is one of the safer and less stressful alternatives for the management of open bite due to degeneration of the condyles caused by ID and OA of TMJ.

The new type of orthodontic mini-implant named C-implant can be an effective alternative to conventional one-component mini-implant in the intermaxillary fixation (IMF) cases because of its particular design. The small size, two-part design, efficiency, and low cost of the C-implant make it applicable to various types of IMF cases easily such as fracture reduction and orthognathic surgery. The two part design resists highly to the fracture or deformation during implantation and removal. The long span head allows the patient to easily attach intermaxillary elastics, so that the patient can apply intermaxillary elastics for traction easily. Through this article, we tried to show the possibility of this appliance as a good adjunct for the IMF screw.

The treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion in adolescents is challenging. Maxillary protraction, particularly that using bone anchorage, has been proven to be an effective method for the stimulation of maxillary growth. However, the conventional procedure, which involves the surgical implantation of mini-plates, is traumatic and associated with a high risk. Three-dimensional (3D) digital technology offers the possibility of individualized treatment. Customized mini-plates can be designed according to the shape of the maxillary surface and the positions of the roots on cone-beam computed tomography scans; this reduces both the surgical risk and patient trauma. Here we report a case involving a 12-year-old adolescent girl with skeletal Class III malocclusion and midface deficiency that was treated in two phases. In phase 1, rapid maxillary expansion and protraction were performed using 3D-printed mini-plates for anchorage. The mini-plates exhibited better adaptation to the bone contour, and titanium screw implantation was safer because of the customized design. The orthopedic force applied to each mini-plate was approximately 400-500 g, and the plates remained stable during the maxillary protraction process, which exhibited efficacious orthopedic effects and significantly improved the facial profile and esthetics. In phase 2, fixed appliances were used for alignment and leveling of the maxillary and mandibular dentitions. The complete two-phase treatment lasted for 24 months. After 48 months of retention, the treatment outcomes remained stable.

Mini implants had been used provisionally for the healing period of implants in the beginning. But it becomes used for the on-going purpose, because it is simple to use, economic and especially suitable for the overdenture. But there is few studies about the stability of mini implants, that is most important factor for the on-going purpose, and particularly the implant parameters affecting the initial stability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress and the strain distribution pattern of immediate-loaded screw type orthodontic mini-implant and the parameters affecting the initial stability of immediate-loaded mini-implant. Two dimensional finite element models were made and contact non-linear finite element analysis was performed. The magnitude and distribution of Von Mises stresses were evaluated. The obtained results were as follows: 1. The stress was concentrated on the thread tip of an implant in the cortical bone. 2. The direction of load is the most important factor for the stress distribution in cortical bone. 3. The diameter of an implant is the most important factor for the stress distribution in the trabecular bone. In conclusion, if the horizontal load vector is successfully controlled, mini-implants, which diameter is under 3mm, can be used for the on-going purpose.

Recently, Skeletal Anchorage System (SAS) has been focused clinically with the view point that it could provide the absolute intraoral anchorage. First, it began to be used for the patient of orthognathic surgery who had difficulty in taking intermaxillary fixation due to multiple loss of teeth. And then, its uses have been extended to many cases, the control of bone segments after orthognathic surgery, stable anchorage in orthodontic treatment, and anchorage for temporary prosthesis and so on. SAS has been developed as dental implants technique has been developed and also called in several names; mini-screw anchorage, micro-screw anchorage, mini-implant anchorage, micro-implant anchorage (MIA), and orthosystem implant etc. Now many clinicians use SAS, but the anatomical knowledges for the installed depth of intraosseous screws are totally dependent on general experiences. So we try to study for the cortical thickness of maxilla and mandible in Korean adults without any pathologic conditions with the use of Computed Tomography at the representative sites for the screw installation.

Objective : We evaluated the validity of bone cement-augmented percutaneous screw fixation for treating malignant spinal metastases. Methods : Between 2011 and 2015, 14 patients (eight men and six women) who underwent bone cement-augmented percutaneous screw fixation for malignant spinal metastases were enrolled in this study. Their life expectancy was considered to be more than one month and less than one year, based on the revised Tokuhashi scoring system. Clinical findings including the back pain scale score, functional outcome, procedure related complications, and survival were assessed preoperatively, postoperatively, and then six months after the procedure. Results : Twelve of the patients (86%) survived up to six months after the procedure. Three required mini-open decompressive laminectomy for severe epidural compression. Bone cement-augmented percutaneous screw fixation was performed one level above, one level below, and at the pathologic level itself. The mean operation time was 60 minutes (45-180) and blood loss was less than 100 mL. Prior to surgery, the mean pain score on the visual analogue scale was 8.8, while one month after the procedure, it had reduced to 3.0; this improvement was maintained until the six-month assessment in the surviving patients. All patients were able to sit within the first two days after surgery, and no patient experienced neurological deterioration at the one-month follow up after the surgery. No patient experienced screw loosening during the six months of follow-up. Asymptomatic cement leakage into the epidural space was observed in two patients, but no major complications were observed. Conclusion : For selected patients with malignant spinal metastases, bone cement-augmented percutaneous screw fixation can provide significant pain relief and improve quality of life.

본 연구에서는 교정 치료 시 골내 고정원으로 사용되는 교정용 임플랜트의 표면처리 여부가 골유착능에 있어서 어떠한 효과를 보이는지 제거회전력의 측정을 통해 알아보고자 하였으며, 그에 따른 교정력 적용의 확장과 임상적 의의를 알아보고자 하였다. 실험군은 분사처리 후 산부식(Sand-blasted Large grit, and Acid etched, SLA) 표면 처리된 교정용 미니 임플랜트인 C-implant (Cimplant, Seoul, Korea)를 사용하였으며 대조군은 같은 디자인이지만 표면 처리를 하지 않은 평활면 C-implant를 사용하였다. 실험군과 대조군을 각각 2개씩 11마리의 가토 경골에 식립하였고 식립 후 6주에 가토를 희생시켜 제거회전력을 측정하여 t-test를 통하여 두 군의 제거회전력 차이의 통계적 유의성을 알아보았으며 조직표본을 만들어 조직소견을 관찰하였다. 실험결과 제거회전력은 SLA 처리한 C-implant 군이 평활면 C-implant 군보다 통계적으로 유의성 있게 높은 결과를 보였다 (p < 0.05). 평활면 C-implant 군의 평균 제거회전력 값은 4.614 Ncm이고, SLA C-implant 군의 평균 제거회전력 값은 6.286 Ncm로, SLA 군이 평활면 군보다 73% 더 높은 제거회전력에 대한 저항성을 나타내었다. 이상의 연구 결과에서 SLA표면처리가 C-implant의 골유착능을 증가시켰음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 표면 처리된 교정용 미니 임플랜트는 기존의 임플랜트에 비해 좀 더 강한 힘에 저항할 수 있으며 탈락률을 낮출 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
