PURPOSE. To compare the changes in the occlusal vertical dimension, activity of masseter muscles and biting force after insertion of immediate denture constructed with conventional, tooth-supported and Implant-supported immediate mandibular complete denture. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Patients were selected and treatment was carried out with all the three different concepts i.e, immediate denture constructed with conventional (Group A), tooth-supported (Group B) and Implant-supported (Group C) immediate mandibular complete dentures. Parameters of evaluation and comparison were occlusal vertical dimension measured by radiograph (at three different time intervals), Masseter muscle electromyographic (EMG) measurement by EMG analysis (at three different positions of jaws) and bite force measured by force transducer (at two different time intervals). The obtained data were statistically analyzed by using ANOVA-F test at 5% level of significance. If the F test was significant, Least Significant Difference test was performed to test further significant differences between variables. RESULTS. Comparison between mean differences in occlusal vertical dimension for tested groups showed that it was only statistically significant at 1 year after immediate dentures insertion. Comparison between mean differences in wavelet packet coefficients of the electromyographic signals of masseter muscles for tested groups was not significant at rest position, but significant at initial contact position and maximum voluntary clench position. Comparison between mean differences in maximum biting force for tested groups was not statistically significant at 5% level of significance. CONCLUSION. Immediate complete overdentures whether tooth or implant supported prosthesis is recommended than totally mucosal supported prosthesis.

A patient with TMJ osteoarthritis and anterior open bite was treated with an intermaxillary traction device. Pretreatment examination revelaed a pain in both TMJ during mouth opening, moderate tendernesso f left sternocleidomastoid and right trapezius muscles. Anterior open Bite was aobserved with interincisal distance of 2mm. Tomograms and MRI showed anterior disc displacement withouit reductoin of both temporomandibular joints, and the condyles were flattened and slightly eroded. A pair of full-coverage occlusal appliances was made on both maxillary and mandibular dentition, with pivoting fulcrum on the site of the second moalr. Traction force was gained by the intermaxillary orthodontic elastics which were hooked by orthodontic brackets on the labial surfaces of the upper and lower anterior and premolar teeth. After 8 weeks of traction treatment, the joint pain was subsided completely and the anterior open bite was closed to get an edge to edge relationship of anterior teeth.

In order to evaluate muscular activity patterns of masticatory muscles and asymmetry patterns of muscular activity according to the levels of occlusal force, twenty-one individuals of age ranged from 23 to 27 years were examined. They were selected according to the following criteria : 1) no symptoms of temporomandibular disorder, 2) complete dentition except third molars, 3) normal or Angle's class I molar relationship and 4) no experience of dental treatment. The electromyographic amplitudes was measured for evaluation of muscular activity and asymmetric patterns of masseter and anterior temporal muscle during unilateral clenching at the levels of 10%, 20%, 40% and 50% of the maximum occlusal force by use of electromyogram and bite force meter. The obtained results were as follows : 1. The muscle activity indices of masticatory muscles of clenching side at the clenching levels of 10%, 20% and 30% of the maximum occlusal force were -19.12, -9.87, -0.49%, so that activity of anterior temporal muscle was dominant than that of masseter muscle. At the levels of 40%, 50% of the maximum occlusal force, muscle activity indices were 4.68%, 6.70%, so that activity of masseter was dominant at all level and as the levels of occlusal force was increased, muscular activity index was tend to decrease. 2. In masseter, asymmetry indices of muscular activity at the levels of 10%, 20% of maximum occlusal force were -10.34 and -1.24%, so that muscular activity of non-clenching side were dominant and at the levels of 30%, 40% and 50% each of maximum occlusal force, muscular activity was dominant on clenching side as 4.68, 7.18 and 10.9%. In anterior temporal muscle, asymmetry indices were 33.38%, 25.46, 2095, 10.23 and 15.45% at the levels of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% each of maximum occlusal force, so that activity of clenching 15.45% at the levels of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% each of maximum occlusal force, so that activity of clenching side was dominant than that of non-clenching side at all levels, but as the levels of occlusal force was increased, asymmetry indices of muscular activity was tend to decrease. 3. Between both sides, average electromyographic amplitudes of masseter and anterior temporal muscle were correlated, so that as the levels of occlusal force was increased, average electromyographic amplitudes of both side in same muscle were increased proportionally. But asymmetry indices between muscular activities of masseter and anterior temporal muscle were not correlated.

An 8-years old boy with facial asymmetry and unilateral posterior crossbite on the left side received orthopedic and orthodontic treatment. During the first phase of treatment, the narrow maxillary arch was expanded using an acrylic plate. Then, the acrylic plate was used as a bite block with occlusal indentations from the construction bite that was obtained with the incisors in a coincident dental midline. After the position of the mandible was stabilized, the second phase of orthodontic treatment was initiated using fixed appliances for detailing of the occlusion. Skeletal symmetry, ideal occlusion, and coincident dental midlines were thus achieved. Functionally, occlusal force balance and masticatory muscle activity were improved, and the chewing patterns were normalized.

Objective: To examine the effect of bite force on the displacement and stress distribution of orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs) in the molar region according to placement site, insertion angle, and loading direction. Methods: Five finite element models were created using micro-computed tomography (microCT) images of the maxilla and mandible. OMIs were placed at one maxillary and two mandibular positions: between the maxillary second premolar and first molar, between the mandibular second premolar and first molar, and between the mandibular first and second molars. The OMIs were inserted at angles of $45^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ to the buccal surface of the cortical bone. A bite force of 25 kg was applied to the 10 occlusal contact points of the second premolar, first molar, and second molar. The loading directions were $0^{\circ}$, $5^{\circ}$, and $10^{\circ}$ to the long axis of the tooth. Results: With regard to placement site, the displacement and stress were greatest for the OMI placed between the mandibular first molar and second molar, and smallest for the OMI placed between the maxillary second premolar and first molar. In the mandibular molar region, the angled OMI showed slightly less displacement than the OMI placed at $90^{\circ}$. The maximum Von Mises stress increased with the inclination of the loading direction. Conclusions: These results suggest that placement of OMIs between the second premolar and first molar at $45^{\circ}$ to the cortical bone reduces the effect of bite force on OMIs.

오른손잡이와 왼손잡이가 있듯이 저작도 주로 사용하는 쪽이 있는 편측저작습관자와 양쪽을 다 사용하는 비편측저작자가 있다. 본 연구는 1년 이상 지속된 편측저작습관이 저작근과 턱관절에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자, 연세대학교 치과대학 재학생 및 치과병원 교직원 중 참여하기를 희망하는 편측저작습관자 46명, 비편측저작습관자 36명, 총 82명의 지원자를 대상으로 저작근의 근활성도와 교합력을 검사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 연구에 앞서 설문 및 임상검사를 통하여 연구에 영향을 끼칠 수 있는 특기할 전신병력이나 불규칙한 치열 및 비정상적인 교합을 가진 자는 배제하였다. 1. 편측저작습관자군에서 안정위와 최대 이악물기(maximal voluntry contraction; MVC)상태에서의 저작측과 비저작측간 근활성도는 차이를 나타내지 않았다 (p>0.05). 2. 안정위 시 전측두근과 교근에서의 근활성도 비대칭 지수는 편측저작습관자군과 비편측저작습관자군 사이에 차이를 나타내지 않았다(p>0.05). 3. 최대 이악물기 시 교근의 근활성도 비대칭 지수는 편측저작습관자군에서 비편측저작습관자군 보다 높게 나타났으며 (p<0.05), 전측두근의 근활성도 비대칭 지수는 편측저작습관자군과 비편측저작습관자군간에 차이를 나타내지 않았다(p>0.05). 4. 편측저작습관자군에서 저작측과 비저작측간의 평균교합력과 교합접촉면적은 차이를 나타내지 않았다(p>0.05). 5. 편측저작습관자군과 비편측저작습관자군간의 평균교합력의 비대칭 지수와 교합접촉면적의 비대칭 지수는 차이를 나타내지 않았다(p>0.05). 이상의 연구결과 편측저작습관은 저작근의 근활성도와 평균교합력 및 교합접촉면적에 영향을 미쳐 변화를 일으키기 보다는, 정상적인 기능을 하는 생리적 비대칭이라고 보는 것이 타당하다고 생각한다. 향후 연구 시 편측저작자와 비편측저작자를 구분하기위한 객관적인 기준의 제시가 필요하다고 생각한다.

고정식 교정장치를 이용한 교정치료 후 교합의 기능적 변화를 평가하기 위해, 교합력 및 교합접촉면적을 측정하여 단기적인 변화 양상을 확인하고 소구치 발치 여부에 따른 차이를 파악하였다. 고정식 교정장치로 치료를 종료한 18세 에서40세 사이의 성인을 남자군과 여자군으로 분류하고, 각각의 군을 4개의 소구치를 발치한 군과 비발치로 치료한 군으로 세부 분류하였다(남자발치군 16명, 남자비발치군 18명, 여자발치군 19명, 여자비발치군 21명). Dental prescalesystem (Fuji Film Corp., Tokyo, Japan)의 pressure sensitive sheet를 5초간 최대교두감합위에서 최대근력으로 교합하도록 한 뒤 CCD camera를 이용해 교합력과 교합면적을 측정하였다. 고정식 교정장치를 제거하고 고정식유지장치를 붙인 직후, 교정장치 제거 1주일, 1개월, 3개월, 6개월, 1년 뒤에 각각 측정하여 비교하였다. 모든 군에서 교정장치 제거 후 1년간의 유지기간 동안 교합력과 교합면적은 점진적으로 증가하였다 (p < 0.05). 모든 측정 시기에서 남자군은 여자군보다 높은 교합력과 교합면적을 보였으며 (p < 0.05), 남자, 여자군 모두에서 발치군과 비발치군 사이에는 교합력 및 교합면적에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다 (p > 0.05). 본 연구를 통해 교정치료 후 1년간의 유지기간 동안 교합이 기능적으로 향상됨을 파악하였고, 소구치 발치로 인한 교합의 기능적 저하는 없을 것이라 추측할 수 있었다.
