Objective: Increased gingival elasticity has been implicated as the cause of relapse following orthodontic rotational tooth movement and approaches to reduce relapse are limited. This study aimed to investigate the effects of sulforaphane (SFN), an inhibitor of osteoclastogenesis, on gene expression in gingival fibroblasts and relapse after rotational tooth movement in beagle dogs. Methods: The lower lateral incisors of five beagle dogs were rotated. SFN or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) were injected into the supra-alveolar gingiva of the experimental and control group, respectively, and the effect of SFN on relapse tendency was evaluated. Changes in mRNA expression of extracellular matrix components associated with gingival elasticity in beagles were investigated by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Morphology and arrangement of collagen fibers were observed on Masson's trichrome staining of buccal gingival tissues of experimental and control teeth. Results: SFN reduced the amount and percentage of relapse of orthodontic rotation. It also decreased the gene expression of lysyl oxidase and increased the gene expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 1 and MMP 12, compared with DMSO control subjects. Histologically, collagen fiber bundles were arranged irregularly and were not well connected in the SFN-treated group, whereas the fibers extended in parallel and perpendicular directions toward the gingiva and alveolar bone in a more regular and well-ordered arrangement in the DMSO-treated group. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that SFN treatment may be a promising pharmacologic approach to prevent orthodontic rotational relapse caused by increased gingival elasticity of rotated teeth in beagle dogs.

편측성 II급 부정교합의 치료 시 다양한 mechanics가 사용되어지는데 그중 한가지가 asymmetric face-bow를 가진 head gear이다. 이 asymmetric head gear의 편측 효과에 대해 다양한 연구결과를 보고하고 있는데 이에 저자는 편측성 II급 부정교합의 상악 치열 모델링과 임상에서 자주 사용되는 Power arm asymmetric face-bow를 모델링하고, 견인력을 달리하여 유한 요소법을 통해 치근막에서 발생되는 응력의 분포와 그에 따른 각 방향의 반력, 그리고 그로 인한 변위를 관찰하여 역계를 이해하고 치료효과를 예견하고자 실험을 고안하였다. 발치나 교정치료의 경험이 없는 25세 남자 정상 교합자를 대상으로 컴퓨터 단층 촬영을 시행하여 얻은 방사선필름을 기초로 하여 유한 요소 상악 모델과 치주인대 모델을 제작하고 그후 다시 좌측 제 1 대구치가 근심 편위되어있는 편측성 상악 II급 부정교합 모델로 제작하고, RMO 사의 Face-bow (Penta-$^{TM}$/Medium size)를 기본 모델로 0.045 inch 직경의 inner-bow와 0.072 inch 직경의 outer-bow를 가지는 asymmetric face-bow를 우측을 25mm 짧게 하여 모델링한 후, 좌우측 제 1 대구치에 각각, 250g, 300g, 350g 씩 견인력을 부여하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 양쪽 제1 대구치가 받는 힘의 총합은 견인력이 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였는데 대체로 근심위치된 치아가 정상 위치한 치아보다 더 많은 힘을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 두치아 모두 윈심으로의 힘을 받으며, 원심으로 이동하는 양상을 보여주었다. 2. 측방력은 두 치아 모두 협측으로의 힘을 받는 것으로 나타났는데, 힘의 성분을 분석하여 보면 견인력이 증가함에 따라 X축으로의 힘이 근심 위치된 치아에서 점점 작아지며, 정상 위치한 치아에서 점점 증가하여 측방력의 성분이 힘을 많이 받는 쪽에서 적게 받는 쪽으로 이동하는 양상을 보여주었다. 3. 원심으로의 이동과 동시에 회전과 경사이동 양상을 보여주었는데 견인력의 증가시 함께 증가하는 양상을 보였고, 힘을 많이 받는 쪽, 즉 근심 위치된 치아가 더 많은 회전과 경사이동을 보였으며 적은 양이나마 정상 위치된 치아에 서도 같은 양상의 변위를 보였다.

Objective: To compare the transverse dental changes induced by the palatally applied Frog appliance and buccally applied Karad's integrated distalizing system (KIDS). Methods: We evaluated the pre- and post distalization orthodontic models of 39 patients, including 19 treated using the Frog appliance, which is palatally positioned (Frog group), and 20 treated using KIDS, which is buccally positioned (KIDS group). Changes in intermolar and interpremolar distances and the amount of maxillary premolar and molar rotation were evaluated on model photocopies. Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U tests were used for statistical evaluations. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Significant distopalatal rotation of premolars and distobuccal rotation of molars were observed in Frog group (p < 0.05), while significant distopalatal rotation of molars (p < 0.05), with no significant changes in premolars, was observed in KIDS group. The amount of second premolar and first molar rotation was significantly different between the two groups (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001, respectively). Furthermore, expansion in the region of the first molars and second premolars was significantly greater in KIDS group than in Frog group (p < 0.001 for both). Conclusions: Our results suggest that the type and amount of first molar rotation and expansion vary with the design of the distalization appliance used.

The center of resistance is a important determining factor of tooth movement pattern. Laser speckle interferometry, recently developed for noninvasive measurement of small displacements (microns), was used to detect the center of resistance of a maxillary canine which has normal tooth axis and distal curved root in dry human skull. Laser holographic interferometry was used to verify the results of laser speckle interferometry The following result were obtained; 1. In measurement of the degree of rotation, center of resistance was localized when the traction line passed 4.4/18.0 level from alveola crest to root apex. 2. In measurement of the degree of tipping, center of resistance was localized when the traction line passed 4.6/18.0 level from alveola crest to root apex. 3. In holographic determination, the center of resistance was observed when the traction line passed between 3mm to 6mm level from alveola crest to root apex, therefore the results using laser speckle interferometry was coincided with holographic results.

The CAD model of a elliptical gear for wire cutting has been developed. The rolling contact of pitch ellipses whose rotation axes coincide with their focus has been analyzed, and the perimeter of the pitch ellipse has been divided into equal-length segments by the number of teeth. A master tooth profile, which is a composite curve of circular arcs that represents involute, has been introduced. The elliptical gear has been designed by imposing the master tooth on the divided points of the pitch ellipse, and a full fillet has been achieved between neighbour teeth. Thus, the whole profile of an elliptical gear is a composite curve of arcs only, and consequently NC codes for wire cutting can be easily generated. Furthermore, a computer simulation program is developed to verify the mesh of the elliptical gear.

$150^{\circ}C$정도의 높은 온도를 갖는 경우와 같은 열악한 환경 조건하에서의 기어 톱니의 회전수 검출을 위한 센서의 원리, 설계, 응용에 대하여 연구하였다. 톱니 바퀴의 회전의 검출을 위해 바이폴라 실리콘 공정에 의하여 SIMOX 기판위에 한 쌍의 Hall 소자들을 제조하여 차동검출방식을 사용하였다. 제작된 고온용 Hall 소자는 $-40^{\circ}C{\sim}150^{\circ}C$의 넓은 온도 영역을 지니며 동작영역에서의 적감도는 약 510 V/AT이었다. 차동 Hall 소자는 단일 Hall 소자를 사용할 때보다 넓은 온도 영역에 걸쳐 센서와 톱니 바퀴사이의 가능한 최대 거리를 보다 넓게 만들어 주었으며 최대 검출거리는 4mA 의 구동전류에서 약 4.5mm이었다.

High precision step motor using Terfenol-D linear actuators is proposed and its performance is tested. Four Terfenol-D linear actuators are set up perpendicular to the rotor and saw-tooth current signals are applied on the actuators. It was found that the rotation angle is increased as the excitation current, the inertia of the rotor, and the contact force between the rotor and the push device are increased. The rotation angle per step of $0.001^{\circ}$ and blocking torque of 0.2Nm are achieved. The effect of the time delay between the excitation signals is also investigated.

Main sources of the vibration in gear driving system are transmission error and backlash. Transmission error is the difference of the rotation between driving and driven gear due to tooth deformation and profile error. Vibro-impacts induced by backlash between meshing gears lead to excessive vibration and noise in many geared rotation systems. Nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the gear driving system due to transmi- ssion error and backlash are investigated. Transmission error is calculated for spur gear. Nonlinear equation of motion for the gear driving system is developed with the calculated transmission error and backlash. Numerical analysis of the equation and the experimental results show the existence of meshing frequency, superharmonic compon- ents. Instability of the gear driving motion is found on the basis of Mathieu equation. Rattle vibration due to backlash is also discussed on the basis if nonlinear jump phenomenon.
