The movement of teeth during orthodontic treatment requires bone remodeling process in periodontal tissue. To find out the changes occuring in the cell itself, mechanical force was applied to the cultured periodontal ligament cells. Following results were obtained from measuring the changes in cyclic AMP and $PGE_2$, $^3H$-thymidine incorporation amount in time lapse after application of mechanical force. 1. When mechanical force was applied to cultured PDL cells, the amount of cAMP in cells were increased significantly after 15 min. of force application, but were decreased gradually as time lapsed. 2. When mechanical force was applied to cultured PDL cells, the amount of PGE2 were increased at 20,40,60 min. and was significantly increased at 20 min. 3. When mechanical force was applied to cultured PDL cells, the amount of $^3H$-thymidine incorporation was some increased, but was not statistically significant.

Impaction of the tooth can cause functional and esthetic problems, so early intervention is critical. This report describes two cases of orthodontic traction of impacted mandibular canine and mandibular premolar teeth using a modified mandibular lingual arch soldered with traction hooks rather than a conventional orthodontic appliance. By planning the position and shape of the traction hooks with consideration for the three-dimensional position and angulation of the impacted teeth, clinicians can apply the intended direction and magnitude of traction force. Furthermore, this appliance can be used for multiple impacted teeth in various locations within the mandibular arch by modifying the position and shape of the traction hooks.

교정치료 본질인 치아이동을 보다 효과적으로 하기 위한 기계적 힘외의 다른 자극원으로서 전기적 자극에 대한 효용성이 부각되고 있다. 본 연구는 임상에서 초소형 전기장치에 의한 전기 자극이 교정적 치아이동에 미치는 효과를 실증하기 위해 시행되었다. 교정용 미니 스크류를 식립한 성인 여성 교정 환자 7명의 상악 견치 후방 견인 시 실험측에 150 gm의 기계적 교정력 외에 $20{\mu}A$의 직류 전류를 공급하는 초소형 전기 장치를 고안, 제작, 장착하여 견치의 근원심에 1일 5시간씩 4주간 전류 자극을 흘리고, 대조측에는 기계적 자극만을 가한 후, 매 주간 치아 이동량을 측정하여 치아이동에 있어서 전기자극의 효과를 검증하였다. 실험기간 동안 치아이동률에 있어서 실험군에서 대조군에 비해 1, 2째주에서 33%, 3, 4째주에서 21,4% 증가된 치아이동을 보였다. 실험군의 평균 치아 이동량은 1, 2째주가 3, 4째주에 비하여 컸으며, 그 차이는 각각 47%, 24% 증가된 치아 이동량을 보였다. 실험을 통하여 미세 전류가 적용되어 치아이동을 촉진할 수 있다는 것이 임상적으로 실증되었다. 생물학적으로 최적의 치아이동을 계획하여 치료계획을 단축시킬 수 있는 방법은 기계적 교정력과 전기자극을 동시에 가하는 것이라고 제안한다.

성인 교정 환자가 증가됨에 따라 교정장치의 심미성이 요구되고 있다. 교정 장치의 심미적 증진을 위해 개발된 브라켓들로는 세라믹, 콤포지트 레진 브라켓, 타이타늄 브라켓등이 소개되고 있다. 콤포지트 레진 브라켓은 우수한 색상 및 투과성이 장점이나 높은 마찰력과 낮은 취성의 단점을 갖고 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 최근 개발된 세라믹 또는 레진 브라켓(metal reinforced bracket)은 마찰력을 감소시키고 강도를 증가시키기 위하여 브라켓의 슬롯에 메탈을 삽입하고 있다. 그러나 지금까지 이러한 metal reinforced resin bracket(이후 MRRB)의 물성에 관한 연구가 미진하였다. 특히 이러한 브라켓과 교정용 철선의 마찰력에 관한 연구가 미흡하기에 본 연구를 시행하였다. 본 연구는 4종의 교정용 철사(.016 S-S, .0l6X.022 S-S, .016 $TMA^{\circledR}$, .0l7X.025 $TMA^{\circledR}$)와 5종의 브라켓을 사용하였다. 사용된 브라켓들로는 메탈 1종(Ormco.Co., U.S.A)자 세라믹 1종($Crystalline^{\circledR}$), 콤포지트 레진 1종(Clear Medium $Siamase^{\circledR}$), 메탈 슬롯이 삽입된 콤포지트 레진2종($Plastic^{\circledR},\;Spirit^{\circledR}$)의 마찰력을 서로 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. ceramic bracket과 resin bracket은 metal reinforced resin bracket과 metal bracket보다 마찰력이 유의성 있게 크게 나타났다. 2. metal reinforced resin bracket의 slot내 metal의 삽입형태에 따른 마찰력의 크기는 유의차가 없었다. 3. metal reinforced resin bracket과 metal bracket사이의 마찰력의 크기는 유의차가 없었다. 4.. 교정용 철선과 각 브라켓 비교에서 TMA, Stainless steel 순으로 마찰력이 적게 나타났다.

It has been suggested that the frictional force between bracket and arch wire may impede the tooth movement. The present study was aimed to compare and analyze the effect of wire size, type of ligation, and duration of ligation on the magnitude of frictional force between cobalt chromium wire and stainless steel bracket under the artificial saliva. The results were as follows: 1. Type of ligation and size of wire were the main influencing factor on the level of friction. 2. Stainless steel ligature generated higher frictional forces than elastomeric module. 3. The rectangular wire consistently exhibited more frictional force values than round wires, while there was no significant difference between frictional forces of round wires. 4. In elastic ligature, frictional force decreased with time. 5. Artificial saliva had no significant influence on the frictional force between cobalt chromium wire and bracket.

Objective : To evaluate the relationship between the dose of Clodronate and serum level of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), calcium (Ca), and phosphate (PO4) during orthodontic tooth movement MaterialS and MethodS: A total of 18 sex-matched Wistar rats (weight=180~230g, mean age=8 weeks) were allocated into the 2.5mM Clodronate (2.5C) group, 10mM Clodronate (10C) group, or control group (n=6 for each group). After the application of a nickel-titanium closed coil spring (force of 60g) between the upper central incisors and first molars (UFM), 2.5C, 10C, or saline was injected every third day into the subperiosteum of the alveolar bone adjacent to UFM for the experimental and control groups. The animals were sacrificed 17 days later. Trunk blood was quickly collected into a heparinized tube and centrifuged at 2,000 rpm for 20 min. The plasma was used for the biochemical assays of the serum level of ALP, Ca, and PO4. Kruskall-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney test with Bonferroni correction were performed for the statistical analyses. Results : Dose-dependent increase in the level of ALP (P<0.01) and decrease in the level of Ca (P<0.001) were observed among the control, 2.5C, and 10C groups. Although there was no significant difference in PO4 between the 2.5C and 10C groups, the 10C group showed a significantly higher level of PO4 than the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion : Since Clodronate induced significant dose-dependent change in the serum level of ALP, Ca, and PO4 during orthodontic tooth movement, orthodontists should consider these biochemical markers not only as a diagnostic tool for bone turnover rate but also as a monitoring tool for orthodontic tooth movement.

Tooth movement by orthodontic force is based upon alveolar bone resorption at compression site and bone formation at tension site of tooth. The function of cyclic AMP is to participate not only in initial action of bone cells by mechanical forces but also in the continuous cellular response leading to bone remodeling. This experiment was performed to clarify the role of cyclic AMP in bone remodeling by mechanical forces. The orthodontic forces of about 80 gm and 100 gm were applied to the right canines of maxillary and mandibular bone, respectively, in cats, treated for periods of time ranging from one hour to 28 days. Alveolar bones were obtained from compression and tension sites surrounding tipping maxillary and mandibular canines as well as from contralateral control sites. The samples were extracted, boiled and homogenized, and the supernatants were assayed for cyclic AMP by a radioimmunoassay method. The results were as follows: 1. The orthodontic movement of canines was increased to the end of experimental period and the action of orthodontic forces on tooth movement was more effective in maxillary canine. 2. The cyclic AMP levels of alveolar bones in compression and tension sites initially decreased, then increased and remained elevated to the end of experiment. The differences of the cyclic AMP levels between treated sites and non-treated sites were gradually increased. 3. The cyclic AMP levels in treated sites of mandibular alveolar bone was higher than that of maxillary alveolar bone.

보철 수복용 임플란트는 소실된 구강조직을 회복하는데 매우 예측 가능한 치료방법으로 특히 교정치료를 위한 고정원으로 사용되었을 때 원하지 않는 고정원의 위치변화 없이 원하는 치아의 움직임만을 얻을 수 있는 효과적인 치료 방법 중 하나이다. 특히 수복해야 할 무치악 부위가 존재하는 경우 장래 보철적 지대치로 이용될 임플란트를 교정치료 전에 미리 식립하여 교정적 고정원으로 사용한다면 고정용 나사 식립을 위한 추가적인 비용이 없고, 교정력에 의한 고정용 나사의 탈락과 같은 부작용 없이 효과적인 고정원으로써 사용될 수 있을 것이다. 교정력은 골유착된 임플란트에 골소실을 야기하지 않으며 임플란트의 종류와 수술 방법, 치유 기간은 일반적인 치료과정 을 따르면 된다. 다만 한번 골유착된 임플란트는 위치를 변화시킬 수 없으므로 치료를 시작하기 전에 임플란트 식립 시기 및 식립 위치에 대한 정확한 진단이 반드시 선행되어야 할 것이다.

Orthodontic treatment with premolar extraction is usually performed to correct bialveolar protrusion. These methods require the use of stiff rectangular working archwire which requires lengthy alignment and leveling before insertion. In this case report, interproximal reproximation was performed instead of extraction. To establish clearance between the archwire and resin domes fixing the archwire, an archwire was inserted into a water-soluble tube before fabricating resin domes. This tube is solved away by the saliva. During fabrication of resin domes, the archwire was deflected intentionally reflecting the displacement of teeth from their ideal position. This can be called as deflection-based bonding (DBB) technique. DBB is different from conventional method of positioning the brackets on its ideal position and then inserting an archwire to align the brackets. Because the orthodontic force of the archwire comes from its deflection from passive configuration, deflecting an archwire as needed can move the teeth more predictably than just bonding brackets on its ideal position. Also, areas with good alignment before orthodontic treatment can be maintained simply by not deflecting the archwire during bonding in these areas. After initial alignment, interproximal reproximation was performed to create 4.8 mm space in the maxillary arch and 4.2 mm space in the mandibular arch. These spaces were closed using orthodontic mini-implant anchorage thus retracting the maxillary incisors 4 mm posteriorly accompanied with 0.7 mm and 0.3 mm distal movement of right and left molars. By using interproximal reproximation and water-soluble tube with DBB, mild bialveolar protrusion was successfully treated without extraction.
