The aim of this investigation was to identify which suing is more suitable for uprighting of the 30 degree inclined lower second molar in different situations. Between four different molar uprighting springs which were A, B, C type and T-loop spring, the author tested T-loop suing as a control material and the other springs were experimental group. Each spring was fabricated from .017' $\times$ .025' TMA wire and preactivated with 40 degree tip-back bend. Stabilizing unit included from the lower right central incisor to the lower right second premolar which were made by acrylic resin. The photoelastic overview of the lower right quadrant showed that stress concentrations were observed in its photoelastic model. The obtained results were as follows. 1. Higher concentration of compression can be seen clearly at the distal curvature than the mesial of the lower second molar when A type uprighting spring was applied, which can be used as a space regainer. 2. Higher level compression was presented at the mesial root apex area than the distal of the lower second molar in B type uprighting spring, which can be used as a space closer. 3. Areas of higher compression and tension were observed about the mesial and distal root of the lower second moalr than A and B type in C type uprighting spring, which can be used as a partial space regainer.

This study was performed to analyze the effects of forces to the alveolar bone by various molar uprighting spring such as helical uprighting spring. T-loop spring, Modified T-loop spring and open coil spring. The simplified two-dimensional photoelastic model was constructed with a lower left posterior quadrant containing the second molar, the first and second premolars and the canine, with the first molar missing. Several molar uprighting springs were fabricated from 0.017 by 0.022 inch blue Elgiloy and applied to the photoelastic model. Two-dimensional photoelastic stress analysis was performed, and the stress distribution was recorded by photography The results obtained were as follows; 1. In all the kinds of the springs, the center of rotation of the mandibular second molar was oserved at the apical 1/5-1/6 between the alveolar crest and the root apex. 2. In all the kinds of the spring, the stress induced in the mesial root surface of the mandibular second molar was relatively homogeneous but there was some difference in the magnitude of the stress. 3. In the kinds of the springs, the distal crown tipping moment of the second molar was increased in turn as open coil spring, helical uprighting spring, T-loop spring, and modified T-loop spring. 4. The largest extrusive force was occured in the T-loop spring, intrusive force was occured in Modified T-loop spring only, and the largest distal tipping force was occured in open coil spring. 5. In the T-loop spring with activation, the stress induced in the mesial root surface of the second molar was increased gradually from the root apex to the alveolar crest and highly concentrated in the alveolar crest.

매복된 하악 제2대구치의 임상적 증상은 제3대구치의 매복 상황과 유사하나 발치가 주된 치료법인 제3대구치와 달리 저작기능의 회복, 대칭적인 안면 성장, 치열궁의 대칭성 유지, 안정된 교합관계 회복등을 위하여 가능한 직립하여야 한다는 점에서 치료 방법이 다르다. 매복 하악 제2대구치의 직립 치료시 치질의 노출 정도, 직립에 방해되는 제3대구치의 존재여부, 제2대구치의 예후, 대합치의 정출여부 등에 따라 치료 전략이 달라야 하며, 이러한 전략에 따라 사용하는 장치와 고정원의 종류도 결정된다. 심미적 개선은 기대하기 어렵지만, 저작기능을 회복하고 치아우식증, 치주질환, 악관절 장애등 여러 문제를 예방할 수 있는 하악 제2대구치 직립은 기능회복과 질환의 예방이라는 관점에서 중요한 치료이다.

This case report demonstrates two different uprighting mechanics separately applied to mesially tipped mandibular first and second molars. The biomechanical considerations for application of these mechanisms are also discussed. For repositioning of the first molar, which was severely tipped and deeply impacted, a novel cantilever mechanics was used. The molar tube was bonded in the buccolingual direction to facilitate insertion of a cantilever from the buccal side. By twisting the distal end of the cantilever, sufficient uprighting moment was generated. The mesial end of the cantilever was hooked over the miniscrew placed between the canine and first premolar, which could prevent exertion of an intrusive force to the anterior portion of the dentition as a side effect. For repositioning of the second molar, an uprighting mechanics using a compression force with two step bends incorporated into a nickel-titanium archwire was employed. This generated an uprighting moment as well as a distal force acting on the tipped second molar to regain the lost space for the first molar and bring it into its normal position. This epoch-making uprighting mechanics could also minimize the extrusion of the molar, thereby preventing occlusal interference by increasing interocclusal clearance between the inferiorly placed two step bends and the antagonist tooth. Consequently, the two step bends could help prevent occlusal interference. After 2 years and 11 months of active treatment, a desirable Class I occlusion was successfully achieved without permanent tooth extraction.

Objective: To analyze the overall treatment effects in terms of the amount of uprighting with changes in the three-dimensional positions of the mandibular posterior teeth after applying the biocreative reverse curve (BRC) system. Methods: Thirty-four patients (mean age, 20.5 ± 8.56 years) were treated using the BRC system (mean period, 8.17 ± 2.19 months). Cone-beam computed tomography was performed before treatment and after treatment with the BRC system. The three-dimensional movement of each tooth was analyzed in the coordinate system at points on the crown and root apex. A paired t-test was used to analyze the treatment effects of the BRC system. Results: The application of the BRC system spanning from the first premolar to the second molar resulted not only in buccal and distal uprighting, but also in increased buccal and distal tipping of the teeth. The premolars and the first molar were extruded, and the second molar was intruded. Conclusions: When the BRC system is applied, simultaneous distal and buccal uprighting of the premolars and molars can be achieved bilaterally using a temporary skeletal anchorage device without unnecessary movement of the anterior teeth.

본 연구의 목적은 1200g.mm의 모멘트를 발생시키는 두 종류의 canti-lever형 구치직립 스프링 중 치관직립형(crown uprighting)과 치근직립형(root uprighting)을 Calorific machine 상에 각 각 5회씩 적용하여 나타난 저항원 및 근심경사치의 동적인 치아이동 양상을 좀더 구체적으로 비교해 보는데 있다. 열 발생 및 온도조절 장치, 실험용 치아, 그리고 실험용모델로 구성 된 Calorific machine을 이용하여 치아이동 전, 후에 얻어진 2장의 교합X-선사진 상에 X-선 불투과상으로 나타난 두 개의 임플란트를 기준 표지점으로 중첩함으로써 치아이동 전후의 시상면과 교합면 상에서의 위치변화를 확인하였다. 각 스프링의 변화량을 2회씩 계측한 결과 조사자내 동의율(intra-examiner agreement)과 조사자간 동의율(inter-examiner agreement)은 $96.54\%$와 $95.73\%$였으며 각 스프링의 실험 전, 후의 유의성 검증과 두 스프링간의 유의성 여부를 짝비교(Paired t-test)로 통계처리한 결과 다음과 같았다. 1. 치관직립 스프링 보다 치근직립 스프링을 사용할 때 저항원의 상실량이 원심 및 협측방향으로 크게 나타났다. 2. 치관직립 스프링 사용시 경사치 치관의 원심이동량은 ,3.29mm 였으나 치근직립 스프링은 1.68mm 였다. 3. 치관직립 스프링 사용시 경사치의 근, 원심 치근의 전방 이동량은 각각 3.91mm, 3.60mm였으나 치근직립 스프링에서는 각각 6.76mm, 6.26mm였다.

Objective: To evaluate the overall treatment effects in terms of the amount of uprighting with changes in the sagittal and vertical positions of mandibular molars after applying an orthodontic miniplate with a nickel-titanium (NiTi) reverse curve arch wire (biocreative reverse curve [BRC] system). Methods: A total of 30 female patients (mean age, 25.99 ± 8.96 years) were treated with the BRC system (mean BRC time, 10.3 ± 4.07 months). An I-shaped C-tube miniplate (Jin Biomed) was placed at the labial aspect for the alveolar bone of the mandibular incisors. A 0.017 × 0.025-inch NiTi reverse curve arch wire was engaged at the C-tube mini-plate anteriorly and the first and second premolars and molars posteriorly in the mandibular arch. Pre- and post-BRC lateral cephalograms were analyzed. A paired t-test was used to analyze the treatment effects of BRC. Results: The mandibular second molars were intrusively uprighted successfully by the BRC system. Distal uprighting with a controlled vertical dimension was noted on the first molars when they remained engaged in the BRC and the distal ends of the arch wire were laid on the second molars. The mandibular first and second premolars showed a slight extrusion. The changes in the mandibular incisors were unremarkable, while the mandibular molar angulation improved significantly. The lower occlusal plane rotated counterclockwise (MP-LOP: 1.13° ± 2.60°). Conclusions: The BRC system can provide very effective molar uprighting without compromising the position of the mandibular anterior teeth.

빠르며 정확하고 안전한 치아이동을 목표로 삼고 있는 교정치료에서 새로운 패러다임이라고 여겨지는 피질골 절제술과 견인 골형성술을 응용한 구치의 원심직립이동에 대하여 알아보았다. 일반적인 방법으로는 어렵거나 치료 기간이 길어질 것으로 판단되는 구치의 원심직립 이동을 피질골 절제술과 견인 골형성술을 응용하여 도모하였다 각각의 원심직립 증례를 통해 피질골 절제술과 견인 골형성술의 적용 술식, 견인장치 등을 논하고 그 효과를 파악하였다. 빠른 치아이동과 이에 따른 교정치료 기간의 단축이 가능하고 통상의 교정치료로는 이동에 한계가 있었던 치아이동을 구치의 정출이나 고정원의 상실 없이 도모할 수 있었다.
