Objective: Traditional retainers (both metal and fiber-reinforced composite [FRC]) have limitations, and a retainer made from more flexible ligature wires might be advantageous. We aimed to compare an experimental design with two traditional retainers. Methods: In this prospective preliminary clinical trial, 150 post-treatment patients were enrolled and randomly divided into three groups of 50 patients each to receive mandibular canine-to-canine retainers made of FRC, flexible spiral wire (FSW), and twisted wire (TW). The patients were monitored monthly. The time at which the first signs of breakage/debonding were detected was recorded. The success rates of the retainers were compared using chi-squared, Kaplan-Meier, and Cox proportional-hazard regression analyses (${\alpha}=0.05$). Results: In total, 42 patients in the FRC group, 41 in the FSW group, and 45 in the TW group completed the study. The 2-year failure rates were 35.7% in the FRC group, 26.8% in the FSW group, and 17.8% in the TW group. These rates differed insignificantly (chi-squared p = 0.167). According to the Kaplan-Meier analysis, failure occurred at 19.95 months in the FRC group, 21.37 months in the FSW group, and 22.36 months in the TW group. The differences between the survival rates in the three groups were not significant (Cox regression p = 0.146). Conclusions: Although the failure rate of the experimental retainer was two times lower than that of the FRC retainer, the difference was not statistically significant. The experimental TW retainer was successful, and larger studies are warranted to verify these results.

Recently, straight-wire appliance is widely used with great concern in clinical orthodontic field. The purpose of this study was to collect the information of the straight-wire appliance and to determine the crown inclination in clinical orthodontics. The author analyzed the study model of 78 individuals with normal occlusion. The obtained results were as follows. 1. Mean, maximum value, minimum value and standard deviation of crown inclination of upper and lower teeth were obtained. 2. The lingual crown inclination of upper tooth had constant value from first premolar through second molar, the lingual crown inclination of lower tooth progressively increased from canine through second molar. 3. As Howes' ratio was decreased, the crown inclination of upper incisors was increased. 4. Narrowing the upper arch, the crown inclination of upper incisors was increased.

During diagnostic process of the orthodontic patients, it is not unusual to find palatally erupted canines. Palatally erupted canines are related with the positional abnormalities rather than the tooth size/arch-length discrepancies. It is very important to conserve the original arch shape during traction of palatally erupted canines to their proper position. On the following case, the patient was diagnosed as malocclusion with palatally erupted canines, and were treated by 0.9mm auxiliary arch wire during traction of ectopic canines for maintenance of the original arch shape.

치주염환자에서는 치아의 회전이나 순측경사등으로 인한 상악 정중부 이개 등의 심미적, 기능적 문제들이 자주 수반되어 후속 적인 교정치료를 요하는 경우가 많다. 이러한 경우 보조적인 교정치료로도 치료가 가능한데, 안정된 후방구치에서는 교정력을 가하지 않고 고정 원으로써 작용하게 하고 해당 치아만을 이동시켜야만 한다. 그러나 성인교정에서는 제한점들이 많기 때문에 비교정전문의에게는 섣불리 교정치료를 하기가 어렵다. 더구나 정확히 브라켓을 장착하는 것이 중요한데 간단한 문제는 아니다. Silverman등이 indirect bonding technique을 소개하면서 이런 문제점들을 해결하는데 도움을 주게 되었다. 그후 여러 사람 들에서 다양한 방법들이 소개되었지만 기본적인 원리는 구강 외에서 이상적인 위치에 브라켓을 위치시키고 tray를 이용해서 구강내 치아면에 재현하는 방법이다. 이런 방법을 이용함으로써 molar uprighting, forced eruption, 악교정술시 surgical arch wire 장착, 설측교정술 등에도 쉽게 적용할 수 있다. 이러한 관점에서, 비교정전문의들도 보다 쉽고, 정확하게 브라켓을 위치시킬 수 있는 indirect bonding technique를 이용한다면 보조적인 교정치료 뿐만 아니라 포괄적인 교정치료도 가능하리라 사료된다.

Orthodontic treatment for middle-aged patients has become more commonplace with various reasons including improved socioeconomic status. Understanding of oral status and treatment modalities of middle-aged patients is mandatory for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment planning. This study investigated 100 consecutive patients aged 40s and 50s and 100 aged 20s who had been examined and diagnosed at the Department of Orthodontics, Chonnam National University Dental Hospital. The results were obtained as follows; 1. Gender distribution showed female outnumbered male patients in young-aged adult patients, but middle-aged patients showed similar male and female distribution. 2. The major concern seeking orthodontic treatment was esthetics not only in young-aged but also in middle-aged adult patients, and a number of middle-aged patients were concerned about oral health as well. 3. Considerable number of middle-aged patients were referred by other dental specialties while young-aged adult patients were more self-motivated for orthodontic treatment. 4. Middle-aged adult patients had more missing teeth and periodontal disease than young-aged adults. 5. The most frequently-observed problem was dental spacing in middle-aged patients while dental crowding in young-aged adult patients. Middle-aged patients showed higher prevalence of deep overbite and overjet while most of young-aged adults presented opposite direction of problem in overbite and overjet. 6. Limited orthodontic treatment was required rather than comprehensive treatment in middle-aged patients, and the most common tooth moving area was anterior part of dentition in case of limited treatment. Need of interdisciplinary therapy with other dental specialties was more common in middle-aged patients. 7. Intervention of specific technique such as invisible TP, passive bracketing, passive wire bonding, and lingual orthodontics was more required in middle-aged patients. Considering that middle-aged patients have different characteristics than young-aged adults, the results of the present study suggest that different treatment modalities are required in middle-aged orthodontic patients in order to manage them properly and efficiently.

병적 치아 이동된 상악 전치를 가진 중등도 치주염 환자에서는 치태 관리를 통한 치주 염증의 해소뿐만 아니라 치아를 재위치 시키기 위한 교정치료가 함께 필요하다. 이 때의 교정치료는 더 적은 힘의 적용과 치아의 저항중심, 최적의 힘 등을 세심하게 고려해야 하는데, 이동하고자 하는 치아에만 적용되는 분절호선은 이동의 예측성을 높여주고, 힘을 조절할 수 있어 보다 효율적이다. 또한 교정치료 시, 고정원으로 사용되는 치아의 원치 않는 움직임을 차단하여 구치 교합 상태를 유지할 수 있는 장치 설계가 필요하며, 이를 위해 다양한 종류의 골성 고정원이 사용될 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 정출되고 변위된 상악 전치를 가진 환자에서, 철저한 치주 치료와 적절한 힘과 역학이 설계된 교정 장치로, 양호한 치료 결과를 얻을 수 있었으므로, 소개하고자 한다.

본 연구는 유한요소법을 사용하여 상악견치에 intrusion arch wire를 강제로 engage시켰을 때 상악 견치와 치근막에서 발생되는 압축력과 인장력의 분포의 양을 알아보고 어느 부분에 집중되는가를 분석하였다. 또한 각 부분에서의 압축력과 인장력의 비율을 비교하기 위해서 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 상악 견치의 FA point와 백악법랑경계부분에서는 압축력과 인장력의 비율이 거의 비슷하게 나타났다. 2. 치근첨 부분에서는 압축력이 인장력의 거의 4배정도 크게 나타났다. Intrusion force적용시 치근흡수 정도가 치근첨에서 발생되는 것을 정량화시켜서 보여준 결과이다. 3. 백악법랑경계부분은 즉 FA point를 제외하고는 압축력과 인장력이 가장 큰 값을 보이고 있다. 즉 치아에 교정력이 직접 적용된 부분을 제외하고는 치아와 치주인대가 처음 접촉되는 백악법랑경계부에서 응력이 집중되는 것을 유추할 수 있다.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the frictional force (FR) in self-ligating brackets among different bracket-archwire angles, bracket materials, and archwire types. Methods: Passive and active metal self-ligating brackets and active ceramic self-ligating brackets were included as experimental groups, while conventional twin metal brackets served as a control group. All brackets were maxillary premolar brackets with 0.022 inch [in] slots and a $-7^{\circ}$ torque. The orthodontic wires used included 0.018 round and $0.019{\times}0.025$ in rectangular stainless steel wires. The FR was measured at $0^{\circ}$, $5^{\circ}$, and $10^{\circ}$ angulations as the wire was drawn through the bracket slots after attaching brackets from each group to the universal testing machine. Static and kinetic FRs were also measured. Results: The passive self-ligating brackets generated a lower FR than all the other brackets. Static and kinetic FRs generally increased with an increase in the bracket-archwire angulation, and the rectangular wire caused significantly higher static and kinetic FRs than the round wire (p < 0.001). The metal passive self-ligating brackets exhibited the lowest static FR at the $0^{\circ}$ angulation and a lower increase in static and kinetic FRs with an increase in bracket-archwire angulation than the other brackets, while the conventional twin brackets showed a greater increase than all three experimental brackets. Conclusions: The passive self-ligating brackets showed the lowest FR in this study. Self-ligating brackets can generate varying FRs in vitro according to the wire size, surface characteristics, and bracket-archwire angulation.
