PURPOSE. To analyze stress distribution in premolars restored with inlays or onlays using various materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Three-dimensional maxillary premolar models of abutments were designed to include the following: 1) inlay with O cavity (O group), 2) inlay with MO cavity (MO group), 3) inlay with MOD cavity (MOD group), and 4) onlay (ONLAY group). A restoration of each inlay or onlay cavity was simulated using gold alloy, e.max ceramic, or composite resin for restoration. To simulate masticatory forces, a total of 140 N static axial force was applied onto the tooth at the occlusal contact areas. A finite element analysis was performed to predict the magnitude and pattern of stresses generated by occlusal loading. RESULTS. Maximum von Mises stress values generated in the abutment teeth of the ONLAY group were ranged from 26.1 to 26.8 MPa, which were significantly lower than those of inlay groups (O group: 260.3-260.7 MPa; MO group: 252.1-262.4 MPa; MOD group: 281.4-298.8 MPa). Maximum von Mises stresses generated with ceramic, gold, and composite restorations were 280.1, 269.9, and 286.6 MPa, respectively, in the MOD group. They were 252.2, 248.0, 255.1 MPa, respectively, in the ONLAY group. CONCLUSION. The onlay design (ONLAY group) protected tooth structures more effectively than inlay designs (O, MO, and MOD groups). However, stress magnitudes in restorations with various dental materials exhibited no significant difference among groups (O, MO, MOD, ONLAY).

Mandibular movement is composed of border movement and functional movement. Border movement such as maximal mouth opening, hinge opening ad lateral eccentric movement has good reproducibility, but functional movement such as chewing, swallowing and speech has also reproducibility. Especially for chewing movement, individual reproducibility has been confirmed by many studies. Study of chewing pattern is still in controversy. In new approach for raising the diagnostic value, numeric parameters and morphologic characteristics could be used for evaluation of chewing pattern. This study was performed to investigate the differences between chewing pattern in controls and in patients with temporomandibular disorders. Sixty-three patients with temporomandibular disorders participated in this study, and they were divided into unilaterally affected subjects or bilaterally affected subjects. Then unilaterally affected subjects were classified into closed lock group, disk displacement with reduction group, and degenerative joint disease group. For recording of chewing pattern, subjects were asked to chew one piece of presoftened chewing gum on both sides, and the chewing movement was recorded with the Electrognatho- Graphy(Bio-Research Associates Inc., U.S.A.). Tooth contact pattern for occlusal stability (Total left-right statistics )was also recorded with T-Scan(Tekscan Co., U.S.A.). The dta related to chewing pattern and total left-right statistics were statistically analyzed by SAS/stat program. The obtained results were as follows : 1. In patient group, mean value of A-P distance and the ratio of A-P distance to vertical distance were larger than control group, but the value of lateral distance in affected side and the closing velocity in unaffected side were smaller than that of control group, respectively. 2. In case of unilateral affected patients, chewing pattern of other side had tendency to restricted movement and slow velocity in closed lock group or degenerative joint disease group than control group or disk displacement with reduction group. 3. In bilateral degenerative joint disease patients, contralateral side had tendency to large range of motion and slow chewing velocity than preferred chewing side. 4. The patients with restricted mouth opening below than 35mm had higher value of total left-right statistics than patient group mouth opening above 35mm. Also closed lock group had higher total left-right statistics than disk displacement with reduction group, degenerative joint disease group and control group. 5. There was some difference in morphologic characteristics of chewing pattern between in control group and in affected side of unilateral patient group, but no difference between control group and unaffected side of unilateral patient group. 6. There were positive correlations between vertical distance and A-P distance, between vertical distance and chewing velocity, between A-P distance and chewing velocity, and between opening velocity and closing velocity in unilateral affected patients.

The ectopic eruption is defined rise to be abnormal eruption, which gives to displacement of the teeth and abnormal root resorption of adjacent teeth. The ectopic eruption of first permanent molar is approximately 2-4% of the population, most of them are in the maxilla, rarely in the mandible. In the case of the second permanent molars, most of them are found in the mandible for the reason of the arch length discrepancies and large size of the teeth. The ectopic erupted molars should be treated early in order to coordinate normal growth pattern and to obtain good occlusal support. So, this should be early diagnosed and treated. But, ectopically erupting molars are often self-corrected, hence periodic follow-up is required. The methods of the treatment are largely classified into surgical, surgical-orthodontic, and orthodontic method. Especially in orthodontic method, they are divided as follows; appliances that is positioned at the contact point for unlocking and the distal movement, fixed and removable appliance that is connected to more than one tooth, and occlusion guiding method after disking or extraction of the second deciduous molar. The report presents the good results in treating patients, whose chief complaint was ectopic eruption of mandibular permanent molars.

The purpose of this study was analyse the mandibular movements in patients with internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint according to diagnostic subgroups. The author classified patients with internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint into 4 diagnostic subgroups by means of the magnet resonance imagings, and evaluated the clinical signs and the mandibular movements with Mandibular Kinesiograph(MKG) in each subgroups. The mandibular movements, measured in this study, were the types of movement in frontal and sagittal plane, velocities in opening and closing movement, and the opening and closing movement, and the opening and closing velocity pattern. The data were compared between the 5 groups including the normal group. The results were as follows : 1. Pain was more frequently observed in the anterior disc displacement without reduction group than in the anterior disc displacement with reduction group. Sound of joint was more frequently observed in the anterior disc displacement with reduction group, and limitation of mandibular opening movement was more frequently observed in the anterior disc displacement without reduction group. Duration of the anterior disc displacement without reduction group was significantly short compared to that of the anterior disc displacement with reduction group, and duration of the unilateral anterior disc displacement without reduction group was shortest in the experimental group. The frequency of Angle's classifications had not significant correlations between the experimental groups. 2. Active and passive range of the opening movement, maximum protrusive movement, maximum lateral movement toward left side were significantly decreased in the experimental groups compared to the control group, but there was no significant difference in the range of the maximum lateral movement toward right side between the control and experiment groups. In unilateral anterior disc displacement without reduction group, the range of maximum lateral movement toward unaffected side was no significant difference in the range of the maximum lateral movement between toward affected side and toward unaffected side. 3. Maximum opening velocity, maximum closing velocity, average opening velocity, average closing velocity and maximum velocity of terminal tooth contact were significantly decreased in the experimental groups compared to control group. There was no significant difference in maximum opening velocity and maximum velocity of Terminal tooth contact between the subgroups of the experimental group each other, but there was significant difference in maximum closing velocity, average opening velocity and average closing velocity between the subgroups each other. 4. In the frontal plane of the MKG, the frequency of complex deviation type(F-2)pattern was significantly increased in the anterior disc displacement with out reduction group compared to the anterior disc displacement with reduction group and the control group. In the sagittal plane, the frequency of coincident type(S-1)was decreased in the same group. 5. In the maximum opening velocity pattern, the frequency of no-peak type (OV-3)in the unilateral anterior disc displacement with reduction group was significantly increased compared to the control group. The frequency of 1-peak type (OV-1) and 2-peak type (OV-2) was decreased in the anterior disc displacement with out reduction group, but the frequency of no-peak type (OV-3)was increased in the same group. In the maximum closing velocity pattern, the frequency of no-peak type (CV-3) was significantly increased in the anterior disc displacement without reduction group. Compared to the anterior disc displacement with reduction group and the control group. The frequency of 1-peak type (CV-1) and 2-peak type (CV-2) in the anterior disc displacement with reduction group was decreased than that in the control group.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of mandibular movement and muscle activity following orthognathic surgery in patients with mandibular prognathism. Lateral cephalogram, M.K.G., E.M.G. recordings were obtained immediately before surgery, and 2 months and 8 months after surgery. Among the patients who received orthognathic surgery, 19(13 men, 6 women) were selected for this study. Statistical analysis for each time interval differences were performed with the SPSS package. The results were as follows: 1. Compared with the pre-operative group (opening 349.7mm/sec, closing 313.1mm/sec), the mean values of the maximum opening and closing velocity in the skeletal Class III surgery group were significantly decreased in the 2 months post-operative (opening 232.9mm/sec, closing 206.9mm/sec), but the values tended to increase in the 8 months post-operative group (opening 280.9 mm/sec, closing 319.1mm/sec). 2. Compared with the pre-operative group (61.7 mm/sec), the maximum velocity of the terminal tooth contact increased in the 2 months (72mm/sec) and 8 months (105.7mm/sec) postoperative groups. 3. In the mean value of vertical freeway space, there was significant difference between the normal group and the pre-operative group, but not between the normal group and the 8 months post-operative group. 4. In the mean values of the maximum opening, the maximum anterio-posterior movement from centric-occlusion, and the lateral deviation from centric occlusion, there was no significant difference between the normal group and the surgery group (the pre-operative and the 8 months post-operative groups). 5. The mature swallowing pattern was 58% in the pre-operative group, but 90% in the 2 months post-operative group, and 63% in the 8 months post-operative group. 6. In the comparison of muscle activity, there was no significant difference between the normal group and the surgery group during the rest position. However, during cotton roll clenching, there was significant difference between the normal group and the pre-operative group, but not between the normal group and the 8 months post-operative group.

최근 치료기간의 단축과 심미성을 동시에 충족시키는 6전치를 설측에서 견인하는 레버암을 이용한 견인방법이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 상악골의 고전적인 2가지 물성으로 구성된 유한 요소 모델 (단순모델)과 새로이 개발된 24가지 물성으로 구성된 모델 (복합모델)을 생성하여 상악 6전치를 후방 견인 시, 각 치아와 치주인대에 나타나는 초기 이동량과 응력분포를 분석하였다. 23세 성인 남자의 CT 촬영으로 얻은 DICOM 영상정보를 3차원 리버스 엔지니어링 컴퓨터영상프로그램 Mimics를 이용하여 상악골 및 상악 전치부의 3차원 입체영상모델로 재구성하여 finite element analysis (FEA) 모델을 완성하였다. 모델은 상악골, 상악 전치부 각 치아의 치주인대, lingual traction arm의 부분으로 구성되었다. 상악 6전치의 저항중심 부위를 지나도록 교합면에 대하여 평행하게 200g의 후방견인력을 적용한 후 나타나는 초기 이동량 및 응력 분포를 3차원 유한 요소법을 이용한 해석을 통해 비교하였다. 실험 결과 24가지 물성으로 구성된 복합모델이 2가지 물성으로 구성된 단순 모델에 비해 상악 중절치에서 보다 후방 이동되는 양상이 크게 나타났으며 수직적인 회전 양상 역시 크게 나타났다. 두 모델 모두 중절치와 측절치는 조절성 경사이동의 형태로 후방이동양이 견치보다 크게 나타났으나 견치는 이동량이 적은 대신 치근의 이동이 더 크게 나타났다. 수직적 이동양상에 있어 두 모델 모두 측절치와 견치의 접촉점을 중심으로 절치는 하방으로 견치는 상방으로 움직이는 회전양상을 나타났다. 응력의 비교에서는 단순 모델과 복합 모델에서 유사한 결과를 보였다. 비록 각기 다른 물성으로 인해 후방 이동량에서는 차이가 나타났으나 기본적인 치아의 이동양상은 두 모델에서 모두 같게 나타났다.

이 연구는 Horseshoe Expander를 이용하여 확장 전과 후의 악구강계의 변화를 분석하고자 시행되었다. 상악궁 확장이 필요한 것으로 진단된 33명을 연구자료로 사용하였다. 완만 상악골 확장술(SME)을 적용한 19명을 대상으로 연구대상자의 정모 및 측모 두부 방사선 사진과 모형을 확장 전과 후로 채득하였다. 또한, 급속 상악골 확장장치(RME)를 적용한 13명을 대상으로 확장 후의 치축각의 변화를Horseshoe Expander군과 비교하였다. 이 자료를 계측, 통계 처리하여 분석한 결과, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 정모 두부 방사선 규격사진 분석에서 양측 상악 중절치의 치근 및 절단연의 중앙점 사이의 거리, 상악 폭경, 비강 폭경이 유의성있는 증가를 보였고, 상하악 폭경은 감소를 보여 결국 삼각형 모양의 확장 양상을 나타냈다. 2. 측모 두부 방사선 규격사진 분석에서 McNamara line에 대한 상악 중절치의 거리, 상악깊이, 상악 높이 항목이 증가를 나타냈다. 또한, FH평면에 대한 상악 중절치, 구개평면, 교합평면, 하악 평면의 각도가 증가를 나타냈으나, McNamara line에 대한 하악 중절치의 거리항목은 유의성이 없었다. 3. 모형 분석에서, 구개용적, 상악 견치와 제1대구치의 폭경 및 상악궁 길이 항목이 유의성 있게 증가하였고, 교합 접촉점의 감소가 유의성을 나타냈다. 4. 상악 제1대구치간 폭경변화(치성 변화)대 상악폭경변화(골격성 변화)가 약 2.2:1의 비율을 보였다. 5. Horseshoe Expander군과 급속 상악골 확장장치군(RME군)의 확장 전,후 치축각 비교에서는, Horseshoe Expander군이 급속 상악골 확장장치군(RME군)보다 상악 제2소구치, 제1대구치에서 더 큰 상관계수를 가짐으로써 협측 경사이동이 적은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, Horseshoe Expander는 치성 변화가 적고, 급속 상악골 확장장치 (RME)에 비하여 협측 경사이동이 적으므로 상악궁 확장에 효과적인 장치로 사료된다.
