본 연구에서는 한국인 정상교합자의 치아 크기와 치열궁 척도를 재평가하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 위하여 296명(남자 179명, 여자 117명)의 정상교합자 모형을 분석하였는데, 이 정상교합자 표본은 1999년부터 2002년까지 시행된 대규모의 구강 검진 사업에 대상이 되었던 15,836명의 성인 중에서 선발되었다. 0.01mm정밀성을 보이는 슬라이딩 디지털 캘리퍼스를 이용하여 치아의 근원심 폭경과 치열궁 폭경, 치열궁 기저부 폭경 및 치열궁 장경을 측정하였으며, 구치부 폭경 비율과 Bolton의 지수를 도출하였다. 계측의 신뢰성 증진을 위한 방안들을 면밀히 고려하였으며, 측정시의 실험자내 및 실험자간의 신뢰성 지수를 산출하였다. 그 결과 자료의 신뢰성은 매우 우수하였으며, 측정된 자료에서는 명백한 성차가 다시금 확인되었다. 20년전의 자료와 비교한 결과 의미있는 차이는 발견되지 않았다. 각종의 선형 계측치의 경우 명백한 성차 및 인종간의 차이가 인정되지만 각종 비율 척도의 경우 성별 및 인종에 상관없이 같은 값을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과물은 임상적으로 부정교합 환자에게 적용 가능할 것으로 생각되었다.

A boy (Hellman dental age III B) with mandibular prognathism was treated by means of the labiolingual appliance and the chin cap. Following results were obtained; 1) Except the problem of development, most of treatment objectives were achieved after 8 months of active treatment. 2) The axial inclinations of upper and lower incisors were changed by the treatment. 3) The most notable change was the reduction of genial angle. 4) The patient has retained the good occlusal stability till after 18 months of retention.

It is difficult to perform orthodontic treatment for cleft lip and palate patient. Although there are many orthodontic appliances to expand narrowed maxillary arch, results are rarely successful and the possibility of relapse is increased due to severe scars. Self-ligating bracket, recently used in orthodontic treatment, suggests solution of crowding by expansion of dental arches. Light and continuous force could apply for orthodontic movement due to characteristic low friction of self ligating bracket, which gives expansion force until dentition reaches its new equilibrium position and it can be expressed as spontaneous lateral expansion with heavy labial tension. This kind of expansion force is thought to be a possibility of expanding the constricted maxillary arch of cleft lip and palate patient. Repositioning of the maxilla by Le Fort I osteotomy in case of severe maxillary deficiency, increases the possibility of relapse because of limitation in anterior movement and adaptation of soft tissue. In these cases, distraction osteogenesis(DO) can be applied for stable result. We report a case of cleft lip and palate patient with narrowed maxillary arch and maxillary deficiency using self ligating bracket and DO.

Following anti-retroviral therapy (ART) or highly active antiretroviral therapy, there is an increased response to latent infections such as herpes zoster, which may lead to their reactivation. This is a result of improved immunity brought about by ART, also termed immune recovery syndrome. A 75-yearold male patient arrived at our institute with widespread vesicles and scabs on the right half of his face and oral cavity, suggesting the involvement of the trigeminal nerve. The patient had a history of being on ART two months earlier and a history of tooth extraction eight days prior to his arrival at our institute. The incidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive cases amongst herpes zoster cases is high, and these patients become susceptible to infections following ART. Therefore, regardless of the presence of risk factors, every herpes zoster patient should be tested for HIV infection, and high anti-retroviral therapy should be commenced/reinstituted as soon as possible. In addition, the treating physician should maintain a high level of vigilance for the patient during the first few months of ART, the peak incidence of immune recovery inflammatory disease.

The Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) approach is a widely used statistical method for analyzing longitudinal data and clustered data in clinical studies. In dentistry, due to multiple outcomes obtained from one patient, the outcomes produced from an individual patient are correlated with one another. This study focused on the basic ideas of GEE and introduced the types of covariance matrix and working correlation matrix. The quasi-likelihood information criterion (QIC) and quasi-likelihood information criterion approximation ($QIC_u$) were used to select the best working correlation matrix and the best fitting model for the correlated outcomes. The purpose of this study is to show a detailed process for the GEE analysis using SPSS software along with an orthodontic miniscrew example, and to help understand how to use GEE analysis in dental research.

In the treatment of functional orthodontic problems, timing is not an issue. All orthodontists start as soon as the condition is recognized. However, there is an active dialogue concerning treatment timing for structure problems. The major points in contention center around the operator's ability is to control the growth of the facial bones and to maintain post-treatment tooth position through the maturation period (especially when this position was gained by techniques involving arch expansion or distal driving of posterior segments). Factors taken into account to determine the best time of orthodontic treatment include diagnosis, interception, growth rate, patient cooperation, eruptive state and treatment period. With those exceptions of all functional problems, mild dental discrepancies and skeletal deficiencies with a predictably excellent growth potential (early treatment), the period immediately following the eruption of the permanent second molars is the period during which most orthodontic treatment should be initiated. At this time the full volume of tooth substances is present, the individual growth pattern in well established, there are sufficient teeth to receive nearly any type of appliances and the patient can easily tolerate the wearing of appliances.

This is a report of one case about facial asymmetry involving maxilla & mandible. Le Fort I Maxillary Osteotomy & BSSRO is usually used for facial asymmetry patient involving maxilla & mandible. But Le Fort I Maxillary Osteotomy has demerits about more aggressive technique, more operation times, more discomforts of post operation nasal breathing than Unilateral maxillary Segmental Osteotomy. So we treated one patient successfully using Unilateral Maxillary Segmental Osteotomy, BSSRO & Post - Operation Rapid Orthodontics instead of Le Fort I Maxillary Osteotomy.

The purpose of this preliminary report was to describe the operating procedure of T-scan system and to identify the location, timing and force of occlusal contact in patient with normal occlusion using computerized T-scan system. From the preliminary observation , the author obtained the following results. 1. T-scan system displayed 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional description of occlusion: contact locations, timing (sequence) and forces of occlusal contacts. 2. The T-scan sensor was the most important part of the T-scan system. 3. The data of T-scan system cannot be stored in computer diskett. 4. The T-scan system is thought to be the most effective system to detect occlusal contacts and can be applied to the followings : occlusal diagnosis, occlusal equilibration, crown and bridge restorative procedures, denture adjustment, implant procedures, splint adjustment, laboratory procedures, periodontal treatment, orthodontics, TMJ treatment and patient education etc.

Surgical resection of the mandible due to presence of benign or malignant tumor is the most common cause of the mandibular deviation. Depending upon the location and extent of the tumor in the mandible, various surgical treatment modalities like marginal, segmental, hemi, subtotal, or total mandibulectomy can be performed. The clinicians must wait for extensive period of time for completion of healing and acceptance of the osseous graft before considering the definitive prosthesis. During this initial healing period prosthodontic intervention is required for preventing the mandibular deviation. This case report describes early prosthodontic management of a patient who has undergone a reconstructed hemi-mandibulectomy with modified mandibular guide flange prosthesis. The prosthesis helps patient moving the mandible normally without deviation during functions like speech and mastication.

A girl aged 16 years and I month, had a severe Angle's class III malocclusion, characterized by a retarded and constricted maxilla, anterior and posterior crossbite. This patient underwent extraction of two lower Ist premolar. After extraction, author placed multibanded system in lower dental arch to change the long axis of anterior teeth and delivered removable appliance with Coffin spring in the upper dental arch to expand dental arch. After 13 months, anterior & posterior crossbite was corrected and this patient's profile was improved. Superimposition of pretreatment and posttreatment cephalograms upon the SN line registered at S showed backward downward rotation of the mandible and retrusion of lower lip.
