The orthodontic surgery including lingual orthodontics has recently attracted a person's attention due to its functional and esthetic appreciation. The skeletal anchorage with the miniscrew is newly adopted in the lingual orthodontics to assist the upholding ability. The appliciation needs to understand the mechanism of the orthodontic appliance and its related orthodontic correction for optimal orthodontic treatment. There is, however, few information about the qualitative and quantitative effect of the orthodontic appliance with the miniscrew has not been well identified. In this paper, three dimensional finite element analysis is introduced to the lingual orthodontics in order to investigate the effect of the anterior retraction force on the miniscrew and transpalatal arch wire. The analysis determines the adequate location of the miniscrew and the point of force application of the anchorage system in the lingual orthodontics. The analysis results demonstrate the effect of the position of the miniscrew and the transpalatal arch wire on the lingual orthodontics.

In these days, the orthodontic surgery including lingual orthodontics has attracted a person' attention due to its functional and esthetic appreciation. The delivery of the optimal orthodontic treatment is greatly influenced by clinician' ability to predict and control the tooth movement by applying force system to dentition. The skeletal anchorage system with the miniscrew has been used recently in the lingual orthodontics to assist the anchorage control. Precise understanding of the force system produced from the various orthodontic appliances is necessary. However, the qualitative and quantitative effect of the miniscrew has not been identified well. In this paper, three dimensional finite element analysis is introduced on the lingual orthodontics to investigate the effect of anterior retraction force on the miniscrew and transpalatal arch wire. The purpose of this study is to determine the location of the miniscrew and the point of force application of the anchorage system in the lingual orthodontics. The analysis results indicate the efficient position of the miniscrew and the transpalatal arch wire in the lingual orthodontics.

교정치료 영역에서 성인들의 심미적인 요구도가 증가되면서 설측 교정치료는 여러 가지 단점에도 불구하고, 가장 심미적이라는 이유로 많은 주목을 받아왔지만 실제 치아이동을 결정지을 수 있는 브라켓을 부착하는 기준평면의 위치에 대해서는 거의 보고된 바가 없다. 이에 본 연구는 실제 브라켓이 부착되는 평면의 상하 평행이동이나 기울기 변화에 따라 치아이동 양상이 어떻게 변화되는지 알아보고, 바람직한 전치부 치체이동을 얻기 위해서 힘의 적용점을 어디에 두어야 하는지, 그리고 전치부에 어느 정도의 모멘트를 부여해야 하는지 알아보고자 3차원 유한요소법을 이용하여 치아 변위 및 응력분포를 비교 분석하였다. 실험 결과 설측 브라켓 부착평면을 치은연쪽으로 평행이동 혹은 회전이동 시키고 견인하였을 경우, 절단연쪽으로 이동시켰을 때와 비교했을 때 비조절성 설측 경사이동이 감소하기는 하였으나 상하악 전치부 치아들의 설측경사 양상은 지속되었으며, 이러한 양상은 견치 브라켓의 hook 길이를 증가시켜도 계속 나타났다. 이와는 달리 설측 중심평면에 브라켓을 부착하고 각 치아별로 모멘트를 부여하였을 경우 설측 방향으로 개개 치아들의 치체이동이 발생하여 설측 교정치료 시 효과적인 전치부 치아의 후방견인이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

Objective: To evaluate the available evidence regarding the clinical effectiveness of different types of anchorage devices. Methods: A comprehensive literature search of different electronic databases was conducted for systematic reviews investigating different anchorage methods published up to April 15, 2021. Any ongoing systematic reviews were searched using PROSPERO, and a grey literature search was undertaken using Google Scholar and OpenGrey. No language restriction was applied. Screening, quality assessment, and data extraction were performed independently by two authors. Information was categorized and narratively synthesized for the key findings from moderate- and high-quality reviews. Results: Fourteen systematic reviews were included (11 were of moderate/high quality). Skeletal anchorage with miniscrews was associated with less anchorage loss (and sometimes with anchorage gain). Similarly, skeletal anchorage was more effective in retracting anterior teeth and intruding incisors and molars, resulting in minor vertical skeletal changes and improvements in the soft tissue profile. However, insufficient evidence was obtained for the preference of any anchorage method in terms of the duration of treatment, number of appointments, quality of treatment, patient perception, or adverse effects. The effectiveness of skeletal anchorage can be enhanced when: directly loaded, used in the mandible rather than the maxilla, used buccally rather than palatally, using dual rather than single miniscrews, used for en-masse retraction, and in adults. Conclusions: The level of evidence regarding anchorage effectiveness is moderate. Nevertheless, compared to conventional anchorage, skeletal anchorage can be used with more anchorage preservation. Further high-quality randomized clinical trials are required to confirm these findings.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the treatment duration and dentoskeletal changes between two different anchorage systems used to treat maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion and to examine the effectiveness of en-masse retraction using two miniscrews placed in the midpalatal suture. Methods: Fifty-seven patients (9 men, 48 women), who had undergone level anchorage system treatment at Aichi-Gakuin University Dental Hospital (Nagoya, Japan) were divided into two groups according to the method of maxillary posterior anchorage reinforcement: midpalatal miniscrews (25 patients, mean age 22 years) and conventional anchorage (32 patients, mean age 19 years). The en-masse retraction period, overall treatment duration, pre-treatment effective ANB angle, and change in the effective ANB angle were compared with an independent-samples t -test. Results: Compared to the headgear group, the duration of en-masse retraction was longer by approximately 4 months in the miniscrew group (p < 0.001). However, we found no significant difference in the total treatment duration between the groups. Moreover, a greater change in the effective ANB angle was observed in patients treated with miniscrews than in those treated with the conventional method (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The level anchorage system treatment using miniscrews placed in the midpalatal area will allow orthodontists more time to control the anterior teeth during en-masse retraction, without increasing the total treatment duration. Furthermore, it achieves better dentoskeletal control than does the conventional anchorage method, thereby improving the quality of the treatment results.

교정치료시 치아와 주위조직의 부작용을 최소로 하면서 최대의 치료결과를 얻기 위해서는 치료역학을 각 환자의 치아 및 주위 해부학적 환경에 맞도록 개인화 시켜야한다. 특히 성인 교정시 문제되기 쉬운 치근흡수 또는 치주질환으로 인한 치조골 손실로 인하여 치관/치근 비율이 변했을 때 치아의 저항중심위치의 변화와 관련된 생역학적 반응의 차이에 주의하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 정상 치주조직뿐만 아니라 다양한 비정상적 치주 및 치아상태에서 치관/치근 비율이 변하였을 때 일정한 교정력하에서의 치아의 초기이동 양상을 연구하기 위하여, 성인의 인체 건조 두개골 및 하악골상에서 laser 반사측정법 및 lever and pulley force applicator와 photodetector를 이용하여, 상악 6전치군을 대상으로는 치조골높이를 각각의 치아에 대하여 2mm씩 총 8mm까지 감소시켰고, 하악 6전치군을 대상으로는 치근길이를 각각의 치아에 대하여 2mm씩 총6mm까지 감소시키면서, 이렇게 다양하게 정량화된 변수들 하에서 상하악6전치군의 저항중심의 위치변화를 연구한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 초기상태에서 상악 6전치군의 초기이동시의 저항중심점의 위치는 6전치 전체 평균치아 치근의 치경부(CEJ)로부터 치근첨 방향으로 약 $42.4\%$되는 위치에 있었으며, 각 치아의 치조골의 높이가 감소할수록 저항중심점은 치근첨방향으로 약 $76.7\%$되는 부위까지 이동하였다. 2. 상악 6전치군에서 저항중심점의 6전치 전체 평균 치조정으로부터의 거리는 치조골의 감소와 함께 지속적으로 감소하였으나, 치조골내의 평균 치근의 길이에 대한 비율은 치조골의 감소에 상관없이 약 $33\%$내외에서 비교적 일정하였다. 3. 초기상태에서 하악 6전치군의 초기이동시의 저항중심점의 위치는 6전치 전체 평균치아 치근의 CEJ로부터 치근첨방향으로 약 $43\%$되는 위치에 있었으며, 각 치아의 치근의 길이가 감소할수록 이 비율은 약 $54\%$까지 증가하였다. 그러나 CEJ로부터 저항중심점까지의 거리는 5.3mm전후로부터 3.3mm내외까지 감소하여 치근의 길이가 감소할수록 저항중심점이 CEJ방향으로 이동하였다. 4.치조골 또는 치근흡수시, 각각의 단위 흡수량에 따른 저항중심위치의 변화에 미치는 영향은 초기에는 치조골이 감소 될 때가 더 컸으나 전체 평균 치근길이의 중간부위에서의 영향은 비슷했다.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of anterior segmental osteotomy (ASO) in bimaxillary protrusion (BP) patients by comparison between the mandibular soft and hard tissue changes from orthodontic treatment and ASO. Methods: All 44 patients were diagnosed with BP in Kyung-Hee Medical Center. Orthodontic treatment with teeth extractions were underwent by 23 patients (Group A) and 21 patients underwent ASO (Group B). Mandibular soft and hard tissue changes were measured and evaluated, which were based on the vertical and horizontal reference line in lateral cephalometric radiographs. Statistical significance between the changes and correlation between each measurement were analyzed. Results: The amount of B point movement was lesser than that of the lower incisal tip (LIT) retraction, and LIT was tilted lingually in group A. The posterior movement discrepancy between LIT and B point was insignificant, and the inclination of lower incisor was not changed in group B. The soft tissues, including the lower lip, showed a posterior movement and reduction in the depth of mento-labial groove. According to the correlation analysis, the movement of the lower incisor was significantly related to the movement of the lower lip in group A, and the movement of the lower incisor was significantly related to that of the movement of lower lip, B point and Pog in group B. Conclusion: The orthodontic treatment in BP patients results in posterior tilting movement of the lower incisor, but ASO results in the bodily movement of the lower incisor. Consequently, ASO is more effective in BP cases because it ensures the controlled movement of the lower incisors.

In esthetic treatment of bimaxillary protrusion, it is important to move backward the anterior teeth segment. For the backward movement of the anterior teeth segment, orthodontic force and segmental osteotomy have been applied on the clinical treatment until recently. These methods caused long treatment time, anchorage loss, the possibility of root resorption and the complication followed by segmental osteotomy. Therefore, corticotomy has become a major concern lately. This research has been conducted to study the efficiency of corticotomy in the treatment of bimaxillary protrusion comparing the profile change, canine retraction velocity and space closing time. The research compared and analyzed space closing time, canine retraction velocity and profile change in two groups of patients. Both groups were formed out of patients over 18 years old who visited the department of dentistry in Hanyang University for treatments. The experimental group who was treated by corticotomy and Skeletal Anchorage System(SAS). The control group who received orthodontic treatment using SAS. The following results are produced after analyzing both groups. The significant statistic difference in space closing time has been observed in the experimental group as compared with the control group(p<0.05). In the experimental group, the significant statistic increase in canine retraction velocity was also observed(p<0.05). There was no significant difference in profile change between the control group and the experimental group(p<0.05). As a result, orthodontic treatment using corticotomy has a reasonable efficiency in space closing time as compared with the existing orthodontic treatment. Therefore, it is concluded that corticotomy with orthodontic treatment can be reasonably applied to dentofacial abnormality.

In order to compare the accuracy of impression technique using the addition silicone putty and improved heavy body material, impression were taken for the natural 6 maxillary anterior teeth, and for the metal mast model that has full arch shape with 4 cylindrical abutment teeth. Marginal gingiva was retracted by routine method using retraction cord, and two techniques were tried to compare the length of impression materials in the gingival sulcus. This was aimed to see the effect of viscosity and hydraulic pressure of impression materials for the subgingival impression. Impressions for the full arch-shaped metal master model were taken to compare the linear stability of the different impression materials and their related techniques. The conclusions were as belows : 1. The one-step impression technique showed longer extension of impression material in gingival sulcus than two-step impression technique. 2. High viscosity and hydraulic pressure of impression material were useful to take subgingival impression. 3. There was no statistically significant difference for the two-dimensional accuracy of impression technique, but two-step technique showed better trend than one-step technique.

The patient, 18-year-old girl, had a class III malocclusion with the lateral compression of the maxilla due to the premature loss of the canines, mild mandibular prognathism, and mouth breathing habit. The treatment plan consisted of 1) rapid maxillary expansion 2) a period of retention 3) extraction of the first mandibular premolars instead of surgical correction 4) completion of orthodontic treatment with multibanded system. The maxilla was separated in the midline by the application of orthopedic forces via a cemented rapid maxillary expansion device. After 18 months, She gained functional overbite-overjet relationship, good interdigitation of buccal segments, and facial harmony due to the retraction of lower anterior teeth.
