Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a prefabricated functional appliance (Myobrace^®) on skeletal, dental, and soft tissue components in children with Class II, division 1 malocclusion. Methods: Thirteen patients with Class II, division 1 malocclusion (9 girls and 4 boys; mean age, 8.2±0.9 years at the start and 9.3±1.0 years at the end of the treatment) were treated with Myobrace^® for a mean period of 12.9±4.0 months. Patients were instructed to use the appliance daily for 1 hour and overnight while sleeping. A control group of 10 patients with untreated Class II, division 1 malocclusion (3 girls and 7 boys; mean age, 9.0±1.6 years at the start and 10.4±2.1 years at the end of the observation) was included to eliminate possible growth effects. The mean observation period for this group was 17.7±11.2 months. Lateral cephalograms were taken at the start and end of the treatment, and findings from 41 measurements were analyzed using the V-Ceph^TM program. The mean and standard deviation of cephalometric measurements were analyzed using paired and independent sample t-tests. Results: The treatment group showed significant changes in SNB, ANB, maxillary protrusion, ramus height, proclination of upper anterior teeth, interincisal angle, overjet, and upper lip protrusion compared with the control group. However, only decrease in ANB, maxillary protrusion, overjet, upper lip protrusion, and increase in interincisal angle were significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group. Conclusion: The prefabricated functional appliance induced skeletal, dentoalveolar, and soft tissue changes, resulting in a significant reduction in anteroposterior discrepancy.

Background: This study aimed to determine the skeletal and dental effects in pediatric and adolescent Korean patients with Class II Division 1 malocclusion treated using the Invisalign Mandibular Advancement (MA^®) appliance. Methods: The study included patients aged 6 to 18 years who received orthodontic treatment with the MA^® appliance for Class II Division 1 malocclusion at the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Wonkwnag University Daejeon Dental Hospital, between July 1, 2018, and December 31, 2021. The treatment group consisted of 20 patients, 10 boys and 10 girls. The control participants were also 10 boys and 10 girls. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken before and after treatment, and 41 measurements of skeletal and dental changes were measured and analyzed using the V-Ceph^TM 8.0 (Osstem Implant). All analyses were performed using SPSS software (IBM SPSS for Windows, ver 26.0; IBM Corp.), and statistical significance was tested using paired and independent samples t-tests for within-group and between-group comparisons, respectively. Results: The patients in the treatment group showed significant decreases in ANB (A point, Nasion, B point), maxillary protrusion, maxillary anterior incisor labial inclination, and maxillary protrusion after treatment. However, when compared with the growth changes observed in the control group, only ANB and maxillary protrusion decreased, with no significant differences in SNA, SNB, and mandibular length. Conclusion: Collectively, the results of this study confirm that the use of MA^® appliance in pediatric and adolescent Korean patients with Class II Division 1 malocclusion results in a reduction of anteroposterior skeletal and dental disharmony.

홈 네트워크 기술과 인터넷 제어 기술이 가정에서 널리 사용되기 위해서는 세 가지 고려 사항을 충족해야 한다. 먼저 홈 네트워크 기술을 기존의 가전기기에 적용함으로써 발생하는 비용의 증가를 최소화할 수 있어야 하고, 인터넷에서 홈 네트워크로 접근이 가능하게 하기 위해 가정의 다양한 인터넷 사용 환경을 고려하여야 하며, 끝으로 가전기기 제어를 위해 홈 네트워크에 적용되는 제어 프로토콜과 인터넷 제어를 위해 사용되는 프로토콜 사이에 서로 호환이 되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이 세 가지 사항을 고려한 ARCS(Appliance Remote Control System)를 설계하고 구현한다. ARCS는 기존 가전기기에 최소비용으로 통신 기능과 원격 제어 요청을 처리할 수 있는 홈 네트워크 프로토콜인 LnCP(Living network Control Protocol)를 기반으로 상용화된 가전기기론 대상으로 인터넷을 통해 원격 제어 서비스를 제공한다. ARCS는 홈 게이트웨이가 인터넷상의 홈 서버에게 통신 세션을 요청함으로써 인터넷에서 홈 네트워크로의 접근이 가능하게 하는 방식을 사용하고 있으며, 인터넷 응용 프로그램을 이용하여 집 안의 가전기기를 원격 제어할 수 있는 가상 제어 인터페이스를 제공한다. 구현을 위해 홈 게이트웨이와 인터넷 홈 서버간의 통신 세션 관리와 인터넷을 통한 가전기기 제어 통신을 위한 프로토콜이 요구되는데, 본 논문에서는 LnCP와 쉽게 호환 가능한 제어 메시지들을 정의한 AICS(Appliance Internet Control Specification)라는 새로운 프로토콜을 설계하여 ARCS와 홈 게이트웨이에 적용하였다.

Objective: To evaluate the efficiency of the Frog appliance (FA) alone or in combination with headgear for distalizing the maxillary molars. Methods: Fifty patients (25 males and 25 females) aged 12.6 - 16.7 years who received treatment for Class II malocclusion at the Orthodontic Clinic of Al-Baath University were selected for this study and randomly divided into 2 equal groups. Maxillary molar distalization was achieved using the FA alone (group 1) or a combination of the FA with high-pull headgear worn at night (group 2). Lateral cephalograms were obtained before and after treatment. Results: The maxillary molars moved distally by 5.51 and 5.93 mm in groups 1 and 2, respectively. Distal movements were associated with axial tipping by $4.96^{\circ}$ and $1.25^{\circ}$, and with loss of anchorage by mesial movement of the second maxillary premolars by 2.70 and 0.90 mm in groups 1 and 2, respectively. The combined use of the FA and nighttime high-pull headgear decreased the distalization time and improved the ratio of maxillary molar distalization movement relative to the overall opening space between the first maxillary molars and second premolars. Conclusions: The FA can effectively distalize the maxillary molars, this distalization associates with some unfavorable changes. Nighttime use of high-pull headgear combined with the FA can reduce these unfavorable changes and improve treatment outcomes.

Skeletal anchorage-assisted upper molar distalization has become one of the standard treatment modalities for the correction of Class II malocclusion. The purpose of this study was to analyze maxillary molar movement patterns according to appliance design, with the simultaneous use of buccal fixed orthodontic appliances. The authors devised two distinct types of midpalatal miniscrew-assisted maxillary molar distalizers, a lingual arch type and a pendulum type. Fourteen patients treated with one of the two types of distalizers were enrolled in the study, and the patterns of tooth movement associated with each type were compared. Pre- and post-treatment lateral cephalograms were analyzed. The lingual arch type was associated with relatively bodily upper molar distalization, while the pendulum type was associated with distal tipping with intrusion of the upper molar. Clinicians should be aware of the expected tooth movement associated with each appliance design. Further well designed studies with larger sample sizes are required.

In the integrated systems, that is integrated digital TV(DTV) internet and home automation, like home server, is needed integration of digital TV video signal and computer graphic signal. The graphic signal is operating at the high speed and has time-divide-stream. So the re-request of data is not easy at the time of error detection. therefore EDAC algorithm is efficient. This paper presents the efficiency error detection auto correction(EDAC) for conversion of graphics signal to DTV video signal. A presented EDAC algorithms use the modified Hamming code for enhancing video quality and reliability. A EDAC algorithm of this paper can detect single error, double error, triple error and more error for preventing from incorrect correction. And it is not necessary an additional memory. In this paper The comparison between digital TV video signal and graphic signal, a EBAC algorithm and a design of conversion graphic signal to DTV signal with EDAC function is described.

This article describes the orthodontic treatment of a 25-year-old Korean female patient with anterior crowding, including palatally displaced lateral incisors. Her facial profile was satisfactory, but 3.5 mm of maxillary anterior crowding was observed. To correct this crowding, we decided to minimize the use of the conventional fixed orthodontic appliances and employed a less bulky and more aesthetic appliance for applying light continuous force. We determined the final positions of the maxillary teeth via a working model for diagnostic set up and achieved space gaining and alignment with simple Ni-Ti spring and stainless steel round tubes. Tooth alignment was achieved efficiently and aesthetically without the conventional brackets.

Midnight electrical power appliance has come into a wide use due to the midnight power rate system introduced for effective power operation and an improved load factor. However, the sharply increased number of the appliance has brought about a serious problem in midnight power supply for the past few years. Moreover, the automatic control device, developed to address the problem, has not properly functioned because of the misusage and illegal conversion of the device. This paper will suggest solutions to the problem by improving the automatic control system for supply time (ACST) and demonstrate its effectiveness through tests.
