모든 과개교합을 가진 환자를 병적인 상태로 판단할 수는 없지만 전치부에 교합접촉이 불안정하거나, 전반적인 교합 부조화가 동반된다면 과개교합은 하악 전치에 대한 지속적인 마모와 정출을 일으킬 수 있다. 이 증례는 72세 남성환자로 상악과 하악의 전치가 잔존해 있지만 골격성 2급 부정교합으로 인하여 안정위 상태에서 교합접촉이 불가능하고 교합지지가 완전히 상실되어 수직고경의 증가가 필요한 환자였다. 이 증례는 보철 수복을 위해 수직고경의 증가가 필요한 경우로 수평피개를 더욱 심화시켜 교합의 부조화를 유발할 수 있기에 정밀한 진단을 통한 수직고경 증가량 결정이 필요하였다. 이 증례에서는 Dahl concept를 응용한 가철성 국소의치 보철물을 이용하여 안정적인 교합을 완성하였으며 적절한 치료 결과를 보였기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

Background: As interest in health increases, the number of people engaging in weight training to enhance muscle strength and muscle mass is on the rise. High-intensity weight training has been reported to induce tooth clenching habits, leading to tooth damage and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) abnormalities. Consequently, it is essential to investigate the impact of weight training accompanied by tooth clenching on oral health and to develop guidelines based on these findings. Methods: The study included male participants aged 25 years and older, comprising 15 non-exercisers and 15 professional fitness trainers who have been engaged in weight training for over 5 years. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire to gather information on age, exercise experience, total weight lifted in three major weight training exercises (deadlift, bench press, and squat), and teeth clenching habits. Additionally, examinations for tooth cracks and fractures, TMJ noise and pain, maximum mouth opening, occlusal force, and occlusal contact area were conducted. Results: Compared to non-exercisers, professional fitness trainers who have been engaged in weight training for over 5 years exhibited a higher prevalence of teeth clenching habits. While there were no significant differences between the two groups in occlusal contact area and the extent of tooth fractures, there were significant differences in occlusal force and the degree of tooth cracks. Furthermore, unlike joint noise and TMJ pain, the maximum mouth opening was significantly reduced in professional fitness trainers compared to non-exercisers. Conclusion: Our study suggests that the continuation of high-intensity exercise, which induces teeth clenching habits, may cause tooth damage and TMJ disorders.

Suppose that dental occlusion is related to body posture. We want to find out that improving occlusal balance may affect vibration and distribution of C.O.P. in which way, by measuring change of posture and center of gravity (center of pressure, C.O.P.) which plays important role in measuring balance sensation. Total 11 students at Kyung Hee dental college students, 4 females and 9 males (age: 23-30) participated in this test, who have normal occlusion (Angle's classification I), no TMJ problems. All of the participants have no tooth loss except 3rd molar, no prosthesis over single tooth restoration, no orthopedic problems which affect balance sensation, and no otorhinolaryngological problems. First, we registrated bite by centric relation, and then fabricated stabilization splint that is increased 3.5mm vertical dimension around premolar region. By F-scan (Tekscan Inc., Boston, Mass), we measured discrepancy of average contact pressure of left and right foot. And we also measured discrepancy of vibration of C.O.P(center of pressure). before setting stabilization splint and after wearing stabilization splint at intervals of 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks after. In normal human beings, improved occlusal balance by stabilization splint leads to decrease of vibration of C.O.P. (P<0.05). One week after wearing stabilization splint, vibration of C.O.P. decreased reliably (P<0.05), two weeks after wearing stabilization splint, vibration of C.O.P. decreased similarly comparing to before wearing and one week after wearing. (P<0.05) After two weeks and three weeks, however, it was hard to find reliability. (P>0.05) Difference between average contact pressure of right and left foot also decreased. (P<0.05) We could find decrease after one week of wearing stabilization splint (P<0.05) and two weeks after, the decrease was more reliable than one week after. (P<0.05) After two weeks and three weeks, however, it was hard to find reliability. Improvement of occlusal balance leads to decrease of vibration of C.O.P. and decrease of difference between right and left average contact pressure.

치과에 내원하는 주된 이유 중의 하나는 통증이며 이런 통증 치료시에 장시간의 개구는 저작근에 근육문제를 야기할 수 있다. 장시간의 근피로를 유발할 수 있는 치과진료실내에서의 치료로 인하여 두통, 저작근의 통증, 개구 장애, 저작 곤란 등을 유발할 수 있으며, 통증을 치료하기위하여 내원한 환자로서는 예상하지 못한 다른 국면의 통증에 맞부딪치게 된다. 물론 이악물기등의 악습관 그리고 과도한 껌저작등으로 인해서도 임상적으로 근쇠약감이 호소하며 이에 대해서는 실험적 근피로유도후에 근전도등을 이용하여 연구가 이루어져왔다. 근쇠약감 및 근피로로 인하여 교합양상의 변화를 주관적으로 호소하며 이 상태에서의 근육의 근전도 평가가 이루어져 왔던 것에 비하여 교합의 변화에 대해서는 평가가 미진하였다. 과도한 이악물기나 개구 및 껌 저작으로 인한 근피로가 교합양상에 미치는 변화를 평가하고 감각신경 변화로 인하여 근통증에 영향을 미치는 조사하고자 측두하악장애 증상이 없고 정상 범주의 교합을 가졌으며 교정치료나 3개 이상의 보철 치료를 받지 않은 지원자 총 24명(평균나이 25.7세)을 대상으로 하였다. 근 피로를 실험적으로 유발하기 위하여 이악물기, 장시간 개구 상태 유지, 주저작측으로 껌 저작을 시행하여 근피로를 느끼도록 하였다. 본 연구에서는 전기적 자극을 이용하는 뉴로미터를 이용하여 근통증시에 주저작측 삼차신경의 감각신경을 측정하였고, 근통증을 느끼는 시점에 근쇠약감이나 저작근 기능 장애로 인한 교합상태의 변화를 평가하기 위하여 T-scan II system을 이용하여 교합접촉, 교합력 등을 조사하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1. 근피로는 장시간 개구 후에 가장먼저 느꼈으며 근통증을 느끼는 시간은 이악물기 후에 가장 빨리 나타났다. 근피로, 통증을 느끼는 시점에서의 근피로, 통증의 정도는 이악물기 후에 가장 높았다 2. 최초접촉시의 접촉시간 접촉력은 차이가 없었으며 교두간 접촉위에서 껌저작후 접촉시간, 장시간 개구 후와 껌저작후에 접촉력이 감소하였다. 최대접촉위에서는 장시간 개구후와 껌저작후에 접촉력이 감소하였다. 최종접촉위에서는 모든 실험적 근피로후에 접촉시간이 감소하였고 접촉력은 껌저작후에 감소하였다. 3. 실험적 근피로가 유발된 근육에서의 감각 변화는 보이지 않았다. 4. 접촉수는 실험적 근피로 유발후에 최초접촉위 최대 접촉위 그리고 최종접촉위에서 감소되는 양상을 보였다. 5. 접촉수의 주저작측에 따른 비교에서 좌측으로 껌을 저작한 군은 접촉수에 좌우측 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 우측으로 껌을 저작한 군에서는 좌측이 많았다. 결론적으로 구강내외에 발생하는 일련의 사건은 임상적으로 근쇠약감을 호소하는 경우 교합양상에 변화를 초래 할 수 있음을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 장시간의 개구나 이악물기, 과도한 저작등의 악구강계에 영향을 미칠 수 사건은 특히 치과치료 시에 교합 변화에 주의를 요함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Recently, the presurgical orthodontic duration tends to be shortened by virtue of the advancement of surgical and orthodontic techniques in class III orthognathic surgery cases. But the predictability of the surgical results should be secured by removing several uncertain factors in presurgical orthodontic treatment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of immediate postsurgical occlusal stability on postsurgical mandibular change. The study includes 40 patients who underwent orthognathic surgery to correct skeletal class III malocclusion. The patients were divided into two groups based on the numbers of occlusal contact in surgical setup occlusion: group 1 (stable surgical occlusion, n=24) and group 2(unstable surgical occlusion, n=16). Changes of horizontal and vertical mandibular measurements during postsurgical follow up period(from 1 week postsurgery to 12month after debonding) were compared to examine the differences between two groups. The stability of surgical occlusion is one of the factors influencing postsurgical mandibular changes in class III malocclusion. The various class III malocclusion cases have specific prerequisites for the orthognathic surgery according to the skeletal patterns. The prerequisites should be obtained by minimum presurgical orthodontics to increase the predictability of the surgical results.

치아의 과도한 마모는 교합면에 비가역적 손상을 야기하고, 심미 및 적절한 전방유도를 위한 전치의 구조를 파괴하여 전치부 교합관계를 변화시킬 수 있다. 전치부 과개교합은 그 자체가 병적인 교합 상태는 아니나, 하악 전치의 절단연과 상악 전치의 설면 간에 안정된 교합 접촉이 결여된 경우 연조직 외상, 대합치 정출, 치아 마모, 교합 외상 등의 문제를 일으킬 수 있다. 치료의 가장 큰 목표는 중심위에서 안정된 교합 접촉을 형성해 주는 것이다. 본 증례에서는 상악 구치부 치아 상실 및 전반적인 치아 마모로 인해 수직고경의 감소와 전치부 과개교합을 가진 환자에서 수복공간 확보 및 전치부 교합관계와 심미성을 개선할 수 있는 수직고경 증가를 동반한 완전구강회복술을 시행하였다. 중심위에서 모든 치아의 균등한 접촉, 기능운동과 조화를 이루는 전방유도, 법랑질 범위를 벗어난 마모면의 회복을 통해 환자의 기능적, 심미적 문제를 해결할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to examine, by the method of 3-dimentional finite element analysis. how infraocclusion affected the stress distribution in surrounding bone and osseointegrated prosthesis. The 3-dimentional finite element mandibular models were made, in which the first and second molars were removed and the two osseointegrated implants were placed in the first and second molar sites and implant supported fixed prostheses were constructed. Analysis of equivalent stress and displacement induced by strong occlusion or infraocclusion was performed under vertical or inclined distributed loads. The results were as follows; 1. Under vertical load of 50N or 500N, the model in which infraocclusion had not been allowed showed greater stress on implants and the supporting bone than on natural teeth. 2. In the model in which infraocclusion of $30{\mu}m$ had been allowed, implant-prosthesis on the molars had no contact with opposing teeth under vertical load of 50N, However with the same allowed infraocclusion and the model under vertical load of 500N, implant prosthesis on the second molar had contact with opposing teeth, and stress distribution occured properly on natural teeth and implants. 3. Under $45^{\circ}$ inclined load, the model in which infraocclusion had not been allowed showed greater stress on implants and the supporting bone than on natural teeth. There was greater stress in the case of $45^{\circ}$ inclined load than in the case of vertical load. 4. Under $45^{\circ}$ inclined load of 50N or 500N, the model in which infraocclusion of $30{\mu}m$, had been allowed showed no occlusal contact on the implants and occlusal contact on the natural teeth. 5. In partially edentulous cases with implant supported prosthesis, we can prevent excessive load on implants by allowing infraocclusion.

This study was performed to compare the stress distribution pattern in the crestal cortical bone and cancellous bone using 3-dimensional finite element stress analysis when 2 different Young's modulus(high modulus, model 1; low modulus, model 2) of cancellous bone was assumed. For the analysis, a finite element model was designed to have two square-threaded implants fused together and located at first and second molar area. Stress distribution was observed when vertical load of 200N was applied at several points on the occlusal surfaces of the implants, including central fossa, points 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm and 3.5mm buccally away from central fossa. The results were as follows; 1. In both model, the maximum Von-Mises stress in the crestal cortical bone was greater when the load was applied at the central point, points 1.5mm and 2mm buccally away from central fossa than other cases. 2. In the cortical bone around first and second molar, model 2 showed greater Von-Mises stress than model 1. It is concluded that when the occlusal contact is afforded, the distribution of stress varies depending on the density of cancellous bone and the location of loading. More favorable stress distribution is expected when the contact load is applied within the diameter of fixtures.
