The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of orthopedic forces on the craniofacial complex utilizing the three kinds of the head gear. (high pull head gear, straight pull head gear, cervical pull head gear) For this study, the teeth and alveolar bone and palate were reproduced from birefringent materials and other parts of craniofacial complex were coated with birefringent material on the model. The effect of orthopedic forces on the craniofacial complex was analyzed by photoelastic method using transmission polariscope and reflection polariscope. The results were as follows. 1. The cervical pull head gear had the greatest tipping effect on the maxillary molars and high pull head gear had the least tipping effect. 2. In areas stressed, the cervical pull head gear stressed the greatest degree. 3. Only cervical pull head gear produced stress at the zygomaticofrontal suture and the posterior region of palate. 4. The straight pull head gear and high pull head gear produced stress at just inferior to the anterior nasal spine. 5. The cervical pull head gear and straight pull head gear produced tensile stress at the fronto-maxillary suture. 6. The pterygoid plates of the sphenoid bone, the zygomatic arches, the junction of the maxilla with the lacrimal and ethmoid bone, and the maxillary molars were affected by three types of head gear.

Objective: We aimed to compare the retention characteristics of Essix and Hawley retainers. Methods: Adolescents undergoing fixed appliance treatment at 2 centers were recruited for this study. Twenty-two patients (16 women and 6 men) wore Essix retainers (Essix group) while 20 (14 women and 6 men) wore Hawley retainers (Hawley group). The mean retention time was 1 year, and the mean follow-up recall time for both groups was 2 years. Two qualified dental examiners evaluated the blind patient data. Maxillary and mandibular dental casts and lateral cephalograms were analyzed at 4 stages: pretreatment (T1), post-treatment (T2), post-retention (T3), and follow-up (T4). Results: The results revealed that Essix appliances were more efficient in retaining the anterior teeth in the mandible during a 1-year retention period. The irregularity index increased in both arches in both groups after a 2-year post-retention period. The mandibular arch lengths increased during treatment and tended to return to their original value after retention in both groups; however, these changes were statistically significant only in the Hawley group. Cephalometric variables did not show any significant differences. Conclusions: The retention characteristics of both Essix and Hawley retainers are similar.

Submentovertex(SMV) projection shows the base of skull, positions of mandibular condyle and zygomatic arches. We would like to investigate how to use SMV and evaluate its availability for the construction of the plan for orthognathic surgery of mandible prognathism and asymmetry. Preoperative Surgical Treatment Objective(STO) using SMV was performed to 12 patients, who visited to Seoul National University Bundang Hospital with chief complaints like mandible prognathism or asymmetry from Dec 2007 to Feb 2009. Surgical splint was made of stone model repositioned according to STO using SMV. We estimate the change in skeletal midline and the stability of occlusion through superposition between preoperative and postoperative SMV. It was effective on the amount of mandible movement and the correction of mandibular asymmetry, while the facial asymmetry involved with maxilla was excluded. It was concluded that STO using SMV is available and predictable method for not only the setback of prognathic mandible but also the correction of mandible asymmetry accurately.

The midtarsal joint which consists of the talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints lies transversely across the medial and lateral arches of the foot. Complete dislocation of this joint unassociated with fracture is extremely rare. A 36 year-old male who was injured by motor vehicle accident came to help for his left midfoot pain and deformity. We misdiagnosed as subtalar dislocation. Closed reduction was performed. We reviewed initial and post-reduction X-rays, and then we diagnosed as Chopart's dislocation. CT scan was taken; it showed fracture of the anterior process of the calcaneous.

Use of ready-made orthodontic appliance can lead to inefficiencies in the final stages of the orthodontic treatment. Because patients' teeth have anatomic variations, brackets that have been designed to fit on average tooth surface may result in positional discrepancies when leveling and alignment is completed. As a result, additional steps such as rebonding, wire bending and use of auxiliaries may be needed. Even in patients who have normal tooth anatomy and proper tooth size relationships, precise bracket placement is crucial in order to efficiently control the tooth positions. Digital models can provide advantages in clinical orthodontics as virtual tooth setup could be performed, and clinicians can easily visualize the predicted final occlusion. Through this setup model, customized brackets with individualized prescription and archwires that optimally fit with the patients' dental arches can be produced using CAD/CAM technology. Also, the brackets can be accurately placed with an aid of 3D-printed jigs. The purpose of this article is to introduce the commonly used labial and lingual customized orthodontic appliance systems using digital technology.

The author studied on the dental arch widths and lengths and height of palates at 3 groups of dentition: mixed dentition, early permanent dentition, young adult, having normal occlusion and dentition. The models of the 336 maxillary and mandibular case, made from alginate-base hydrocolloid impressions were measured and analyzed statistically. The result as follows; 1. The upper intercanine width increased between the mixed dentition group and early permanent dentition group but there was no change in the young adult group in both sexes. The lower intercanine width increased between the mixed dentition group and early permanent dention group in the male. 2. The upper and lower 1st bimolar width increased slightly with age in the male but there was no change in the female. 3, The sex difference found in this study was one of absolute size, the female being slightly smaller than the male in the early permanent dentition group and young adult. 4. The arch length had no notable sexual differences and decreased between the mixed dentition group and early permanent dentition group. There was no change in the arch length in the young adult. 5. The height of palate increased gradually with age.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of both various shoe types and bare feet on ground reaction force while walking. Ten first-year female university students were selected. A force platform(Kistler, Germany) was used to measure ground reaction force. Six types of shoe were tested: flip flops, canvas shoes, running shoes, elevated forefoot walking shoes, elevated midfoot walking shoes, and five-toed shoes. The control group was barefooted. Only vertical passive/active ground reaction force variables were analyzed. The statistical analysis was carried out using the SAS 9.1.2 package, specifically ANOVA, and Tukey for the post hoc. The five-toed shoe had the highest maximum passive force value; while the running shoe had the lowest. The first active loading rate for running shoes was the highest; meanwhile, bare feet, the five-toed shoe, and the elevated fore foot walking shoe was the lowest. Although barefoot movement or movement in five toed shoes increases impact, it also allows for full movement of the foot. This in turn allows the foot arch to work properly, fully flexing along three arches(transverse, lateral, medial), facilitating braking force and initiating forward movement as the tendons, ligaments, and muscles of the arch flex back into shape. In contrast movement in padded shoes have a tendency to pound their feet into the ground. This pounding action can result in greater foot instability, which would account for the higher loading rates for the first active peak for padded shoes.

This study was designed to investigate the fitness of stock tray in Korean adults. 107 dental students (male: 87, female: 20) who have normal occlusion and symmetric facial fom were selected. The upper and lower stock tray (Osungtray, Osung Co., Korea) fit with dental arch were selected for taking irreversible hydrocolloid impression. The author measured the thickness of impression material about two items, that is, width and length on the flange of stock tray. Several measuring points on the dental arches and palatal area were checked with Goldman Fox prove (Hu-Friedy, U.S.A.). The obtained results were as follows: 1. The width of impression material on buccal flange of upper and lower trays were narrower than any other measuring point, but the thickness of impression material on the palatal area of upper stock tray was the widest of all measuring points. 2. The length on buccal flange of lower stock tray was shorter, but the length on tray flange of lower stock tray at lingual frenum area was longer. 3. On upper dental arch, the upper extra-large tray was used in 53% of subjects, but upper small tray was not used. 4. On lower dental arch, the large tray was used in 55% of subjects. 5. There was not adequate tray on upper dental arch in 4 subjects.

The main structural elements of historical masonry arch bridges are arches, spandrel walls, piers and foundations. The most vulnerable structural elements of masonry arch bridges under transverse seismic loads, particularly in the case of out-of-plane actions, are spandrel wall. The vulnerability of spandrel walls under transverse loads increases with the increasing of their length and height. This paper computationally investigates the out-of-plane nonlinear seismic response of spandrel walls of long-span and high masonry stone arch bridges. The Malabadi Bridge with a main arch span of 40.86m and rise of 23.45m built in 1147 in Diyarbakır, Turkey, is selected as an example. The Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDP) material model adjusted to masonry structures, and cohesive interface interaction between the infill and the spandrel walls and the arch are considered in the 3D finite element model of the selected bridge. Firstly, mode shapes with and without cohesive interfaces are evaluated, and then out-of-plane seismic failure responses of the spandrel walls with and without the cohesive interfaces are determined and compared with respect to the displacements, strains and stresses.
