PURPOSE. The aim of this review was to analyze the evaluation criteria on mandibular implant overdentures through a systematic review and suggest standardized evaluation criteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A systematic literature search was conducted by PubMed search strategy and hand-searching of relevant journals from included studies considering inclusion and exclusion criteria. Randomized clinical trials (RCT) and clinical trial studies comparing attachment systems on mandibular implant overdentures until December, 2011 were selected. Twenty nine studies were finally selected and the data about evaluation methods were collected. RESULTS. Evaluation criteria could be classified into 4 groups (implant survival, peri-implant tissue evaluation, prosthetic evaluation, and patient satisfaction). Among 29 studies, 21 studies presented implant survival rate, while any studies reporting implant failure did not present cumulative implant survival rate. Seventeen studies evaluating peri-implant tissue status presented following items as evaluation criteria; marginal bone level (14), plaque Index (13), probing depth (8), bleeding index (8), attachment gingiva level (8), gingival index (6), amount of keratinized gingiva (1). Eighteen studies evaluating prosthetic maintenance and complication also presented following items as evaluation criteria; loose matrix (17), female detachment (15), denture fracture (15), denture relining (14), abutment fracture (14), abutment screw loosening (11), and occlusal adjustment (9). Atypical questionnaire (9), Visual analog scales (VAS) (4), and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) (1) were used as the format of criteria to evaluate patients satisfaction in 14 studies. CONCLUSION. For evaluation of implant overdenture, it is necessary to include cumulative survival rate for implant evaluation. It is suggested that peri-implant tissue evaluation criteria include marginal bone level, plaque index, bleeding index, probing depth, and attached gingiva level. It is also suggested that prosthetic evaluation criteria include loose matrix, female detachment, denture fracture, denture relining, abutment fracture, abutment screw loosening, and occlusal adjustment. Finally standardized criteria like OHIP-EDENT or VAS are required for patient satisfaction.

Statement of problem: Silicone Index Tooth Tray impression system which does not use gingicord has a shortcoming. It takes time to remove internal wall of Silicone Index Tooth Tray for space of wash impression material. Purpose: This study was to evaluate whether providing certain space to impression body can prevent from doing complicated laboratory work. Material and methods: After mounting metal dies with shoulder and chamfer margins arbiturarily, SITT was produced using $Blu-mousse^(R)$. In one experimental group, wash impression was taken using $Fit-tester^(R)$ without removing interior surface of SITT and in the other group, wash impression was taken using $Fit-tester^(R)$ providing 0.5mm space in the SITT and then compared the differences in two groups. Results: 1. There was no significant difference between a group which did not allow space and a group which granted equal 0.5mm space. 2. There was no significant difference between gingival diameter, occlusal diameter of metal die that has shoulder margin and gingival diameter, occlusal diameter of metal die that has chamfer margin. 3. There was no significant difference between a group which did not take pick-up impression and a group which took pick-up impression through relining method using SITT 4. There was no significant difference between a group that poured immediately after taking primary impression and a group that poured after removing poured stone die. Conclusions: When taking an impression of an abutment using SITT impression system, it is considered to obtain clinically identical results between a group that did not grant a 0.5mm space within SITT for wash impression and a group which invest a space. Furthermore, it is considered possible to produce an individual die through secondary pouring.

Objective: A recent study suggested that rs6504340, a polymorphism within the homeobox B (HOXB) gene cluster, is associated with the susceptibility for malocclusions in Europeans. The resulting malocclusions require orthodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of rs6504340 and other dentition-implicated polymorphisms with dental and occlusal traits in Korean and Japanese populations. Methods: The study participants included 223 unrelated Koreans from the Busan area and 256 unrelated Japanese individuals from the Tokyo metropolitan area. DNA samples were extracted from saliva specimens. Genotyping for rs6504340 and four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that have been shown to be associated with the timing of first tooth eruption and the number of teeth at 1 year of age (rs10506525, rs1956529, rs9674544, and rs8079702) was performed using TaqMan assays. The Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN), overjet, overbite, arch length discrepancy, crown sizes, and length and width of the dental arches were measured. Spearman's correlation coefficients were calculated to evaluate relationships between rs6504340 and these dental/occlusal traits. Results: We evaluated the aesthetic components and dental health components of the IOTN in the Korean and Japanese populations and found that neither rs6504340 nor the other four SNPs showed any association with dental and occlusal traits in these East Asian populations. Conclusions: These negative results suggest that further research is needed to identify the genetic determinants of malocclusions in order to reach a consensus.

Bone shaving for surgical correction is general method in facial asymmetrical patient with fibrous dysplasia. Therefore, decision of bone shaving amount on the preoperative planning is very difficult for improvement of ideal occlusal relationship and harmonious face. Preoperative planning of facial asymmetry with fibrous dysplasia is generally confirmed by the simulation surgery based on evaluation of clinical examination, radiographic analysis and analysis of facial study model. However, the accurate postoperative results can not be predicted by this method. By using the computed tomography based RP(rapid prototyping) model, simulation of facial skeleton can be duplicated and 3-dimensional simmulation surgery can be perfomed. After fabrication of postoperative study model by preoperactive bone shaving, preoperative and postoperactive surgical index was made by omnivaccum and clear acrylic resin. Amount of bone shaving is confirmed by superimposition of surgical index at the operation. We performed the surgical correction of facial asymmetry patients with fibrous dysplasia using surgical index and prototyping model and obtained the favorable results.

Background: With increasing interest in health in old age, aspects of oral aging are being considered. The Korean Academy of Geriatric Dentistry recently proposed the diagnostic criteria for oral frailty in older adults in Korea. This study aimed to conduct a cross-sectional survey of factors related to oral frailty among community-dwelling older adults and identify differences in oral frailty status according to age and sex. Methods: Among 217 older adults aged ≥60 years who visited a senior center in Wonju, 206 completed all tests for oral frailty. Among them, data from those with a Korean Version of the Modified Barthel Index score ≥90 were used in the final analysis. After evaluating oral frailty diagnostic factors such as chewing ability, occlusal force, tongue pressure, oral dryness, oral cleanliness, and swallowing function, oral hypofunction was determined according to the oral frailty diagnostic criteria. Subsequently, the evaluation results were compared based on sex and age. Results: Significant differences in chewing ability, maximum occlusal pressure, and maximum tongue pressure were observed between sexes. However, these differences did not affect oral frailty diagnosis. All diagnostic factors of oral frailty, except for the risk of oral dryness and swallowing dysfunction, showed significant differences with age. However, no significant difference was observed in the prevalence of oral frailty. Additionally, this study found no relationship between sex and oral frailty factors using the oral frailty diagnostic criteria. However, it also found that age plays a significant role as an oral frailty diagnostic indicator, in addition to oral dryness and swallowing function. Conclusion: Sex and age did not affect oral frailty diagnosis. However, patients' chewing ability, occlusal force, and tongue pressure were affected by sex and age. Therefore, sex and age should be considered when diagnosing and intervening in oral frailty in the future.

Objective: The absence of a guideline to refer to developing malocclusions appropriately, may be a contributing factor to the inadequacy of timely interceptive orthodontics provision. This study aimed to develop and validate a new orthodontic grading and referral index to be used by dental frontliners to prioritize the orthodontic referral of developing malocclusion in children based on its severity. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving clinical assessment with 413 schoolchildren aged between 8.1 and 11.9 years was conducted in 2018. All the presenting malocclusion was listed and graded based on a few dental guidelines to produce the draft index. The validity and reliability of the draft index were tested using twenty study models. Face and content validation was carried out using the content validation index and Modified Kappa Statistics. Results: Fourteen dental and occlusal anomalies were identified as components of malocclusion and three grades of referral (monitor, standard, urgent) were included in the final index. The scale-level content validity index average value of 0.86 and 0.87 was obtained for content and face validation, respectively. There was moderate to excellent agreement in the Modified Kappa Statistics for both validations. Excellent inter- and intra-assessor agreement was obtained. The new index displayed valid and reliable scores. Conclusions: The Index for Interceptive Orthodontics Referral was developed and validated for the dental frontliners to identify and prioritize the developing malocclusion in children based on its severity and refer for orthodontic consultation to increase the possibility for interceptive orthodontics.

측두하악관절장애는 저작근, 측두하악관절, 주변 구조물 또는 모두를 포함하는 다수의 임상문제를 포함하는 용어이다. 근막동통은 측두하악관절장애 중 저작근 장애의 한 종류로, 근막 발통점에 의해 발생하는 감각, 운동, 자율신경 증상이다. 측두하악관절장애와 근막동통의 원인에 대한 논쟁이 지속되어왔다. 특히 교합 원인은 오랫동안 논쟁의 핵심이었으며, 많은 노력에도 불구하고 교합원인에 대한 연구는 상반된 결과를 보였다. 이런 논쟁은 대부분이 측두하악관절장애 본연의 복잡성에서 기인하지만, 부적절하고 부적당한 연구설계, 선정기준, 연구방법 또한 중요한 역할을 한다. 최근에 교합분석시 시간과 상대적 힘이 측정가능한 컴퓨터 교합분석 기기인 T-Scan II가 소개되었다. 일부 저자들은 T-Scan II를 이용하여 이개시간 개념 및 연장된 구치부 이개시간과 근막통증의 연관성에 대하여 제안하였다. 그러나 T-Scan II를 이용한 기존의 연구들은 근막통증에 대한 정확한 진단 기준을 제시하지 못하였으며, 대조군과의 비교 부재 및 다른 많은 문제점을 가지고 있었기 때문에 신뢰할 만하지 못하다. 이번 연구의 목적은 컴퓨터 교합분석 기기인 T-Scan II을 이용하여 30명의 실험군을 선택하고 이를 38명의 대조군과 비교함으로써, 근막통증과 구치부 이개시간과의 연관성을 평가하는 것이다. 통계적으로 분석된 결과는 다음과 같다: 1. 반복 측정한 이개시간의 Cronbach ${\alpha}$ 계수는 0.92 였다. 2. 반복 측정한 이개시간 평가시 양측에서 실험군과 대조군 사이 유의성 있는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 3. 이개시간 평가시 좌측 우측 사이에 유의성 있는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과로부터 근막통증과 이개시간 사이에는 관련성이 없는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 근막통증을 치료하기 위하여 이개시간을 줄이는 비가역적인 치료는 적절치 않다. 향후의 연구에 있어서, 여러 교합요소와 헬키모 지수 등을 이용하여 증상의 정량화를 고려한 보다 통제된 대규모 환자 집단에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
