In an edentulous situation, the dentist must make several determinations when constructing artificial teeth. These include vertical and horizontal relationships of mandible with respect to the maxilla, occlusal form and position, vertical dimension, occlusal relationships during both centric closure and eccentric excursive movements. Artificial teeth are attached to a movable base resting on movable and displaceable living tissue subject to damage. They act as a unit; therefore, they must be arranged to function as a unit. Bilateral balanced occlusion is that stability of the denture is attained when bilateral contacts ex ist throughout all dynamic and static states of the denture during function. Lateral excursion in a balanced scheme implies simultaneous working side and nonworking side contact, while occlusal contacts are maintained on both anterior and posterior teeth as the mandible moves anteriorly into protrusion.

Statement of problem: It is very important to establish the suitable position for artificial maxillary anterior teeth and the orientation of occlusal plane in fabrication of the complete dentures. Incisive papilla has been considered the most useful anatomic landmark in the arranging of a maxillary anterior artificial teeth. Purpose: To determine correct position of upper anterior artificial teeth in complete denture patients, relationship of incisive papilla, intercanine line, occlusal plane were evaluated in Korean adults. Materials and Method: Maxillary casts were made in 60 Korean dentate subjects. Each cast was mounted in Hanau modular articulator using Hanau spring bow. Then, anatomic landmarks were determined in each cast. Distance from central incisor to incisive papilla, distance from incisive papilla to intercanine line and discrepancies between frankfurt plane and occlusal plane were measured and analysed. Results: 1. The mean distance between the posterior point of incisive papilla and the incisal edge of central incisor was 11.20 mm (in male 11.77 mm, in female 10.55 mm) and there was no significant difference in measured values between male and female 2. The mean distance between the posterior point of incisive papilla and intercanine line was 2.52 mm (Male 2.57 mm, Female 2.35 mm) and there were no significant differencies in measured values between male and female 3. The mean discripancy between the Frankfurt plane and the occlusal plane were 9. 75 degree (Male 9.81 degree, Female 9.55 degree), and there was no significant difference in measured values between left and right sides.

총의치 치료에서는 지지, 유지, 안정, 교합, 심미 등 고려할 요소가 많으나 치조골 흡수가 심한 경우, 해당 요인을 갖추기 어렵다. 해부학적 치아를 사용할 경우 좋은 저작효율과 심미성을 기대할 수 있으나, 흡수된 치조골에서는 안정이 저하될 수 있으며 비해부학적 치아는 이와 반대의 효과를 나타낸다. 이에 치아를 혼용하는 설측 교두 교합이 제시되었다. 설측 교두 교합에서 상, 하악 협측 교두는 중심위, 측방위에서 접촉되지 않고 교합접촉위치가 설측화 또는 중심화되어 의치의 안정성이 증대될 수 있다. 본 증례는 상하 치조제의 흡수가 진행되어, 상악에서 편평한 치조제를 보이는 경우로, 설측 교두 교합을 이용한 총의치를 이용하여 치료함으로써 의치의 안정성과 환자의 만족도를 높였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

최근 몇 년간 의학 분야에서는 인체의 해부학적 구조를 컴퓨터 그래픽스 기술을 통해 컴퓨터로 재구성하려는 많은 시도가 있었다. 이러한 시도는 치의학 분야에서도 이루어져 왔으며, 여러 분야에 응용되고 있다. 예를 들어, 치과 자료의 3차원 가시화와 측정, 임플란트 식립 위치 찾기, 보철학에서 인공치아 재건을 위한 곡면 재구성과 교정학에서 치아의 재위치 등이 그 예이다. 본 논문에서는 이들 치의학 응용 분야에서 가장 중요하게 사용되고 있는 교두, 능선, 열구 및 피트와 같은 치아의 기하학적인 특징을 검출하기 위한 기법을 제시한다. 제안된 방법은 석고 모형의 3차원 입력으로 만들어진 3차원 치아 모델에서 계산된 근사 곡률에 기초한다. 제안된 방법을 사용하여 검출된 결과는 기하학적인 특징을 보여주며, 제안한 방법과 다른 기존의 방법의 가시적 비교를 통해, 제안한 방법이 좀더 정확한 기하학적인 특징을 검출하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 알았다.

목적: 치은 형성 후 인공치아의 이동에 대하여 평가를 시행하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 10벌의 동일한 치아배열과 치은의 외형을 가진 납의치를 이용하여 실험하였다. 이 납의치 상에서 치은 형성을 시행하였고, 10분 간격으로 120분 간 모델 스캔을 시행하여 치아 간 거리를 측정하였다. SPSS Ver. 22. 0를 이용하여 통계학적 분석을 시행하였다. 결과: 치은 형성 후 평균적으로 치아 사이의 거리가 0.0999 mm에서 0.1787 mm로 나타났다. 인공치아 이동의 변화율에 대해서는 40 - 50분과 50 - 60분 사이와 50 - 60분과 60 - 70분 사이에서 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 관찰되었고, 그 이후에는 변화율의 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론: 120분 간 측정한 결과 인공치아의 이동이 관찰되었고, 60 - 70분 이후에는 시간에 따른 평균 이동량의 변화가 관찰되지 않았다. 이를 종합하면, 치은 형성 후 60분 이상 경과된 시점에서 교합에 대한 재평가를 시행한 후에 최종 의치를 제작하는 것이 필요하다.

A total of 200 patients, ranging in age from 20 to 60 years, were selected for the study. Each had at least one tooth which was restored with complete cast gold crown and a nonrestored contralateral tooth with no clinical evidence of caries and periodontal disease. The gingival tissues adjacent to the crowned and nonrestored teeth were examined to determine the evaluation of the severity of inflammation and probed to determine individual pocket depth. The findings are listed here. 1. The average sulcus bleeding index of the gingival tissues adjacent to crowned teeth was 1.99. The average sulcus bleeding index of the gingival tissues adjacent to nonrestored teeth was 0.67. 2. The average gingival sulcus depth adjacent to crowned teeth was 2.19mm. The average gingival sulcus depth adjacent to non restored teeth was 1.68mm. 3. No difference could be found between the average gingival sulcus bleeding index and average gingival sulcus depth of male and those of female. 4. The difference between sulcus bleeding index of the gingival tissues adjacent to crowned teeth and sulcus bleeding index of the gingival tissues adjacent to nonrestored teeth increased with increased age of the cast crown.

Purpose: The objective of this scoping review was to investigate the applicability and performance of various convolutional neural network (CNN) models in tooth numbering on panoramic radiographs, achieved through classification, detection, and segmentation tasks. Materials and Methods: An online search was performed of the PubMed, Science Direct, and Scopus databases. Based on the selection process, 12 studies were included in this review. Results: Eleven studies utilized a CNN model for detection tasks, 5 for classification tasks, and 3 for segmentation tasks in the context of tooth numbering on panoramic radiographs. Most of these studies revealed high performance of various CNN models in automating tooth numbering. However, several studies also highlighted limitations of CNNs, such as the presence of false positives and false negatives in identifying decayed teeth, teeth with crown prosthetics, teeth adjacent to edentulous areas, dental implants, root remnants, wisdom teeth, and root canal-treated teeth. These limitations can be overcome by ensuring both the quality and quantity of datasets, as well as optimizing the CNN architecture. Conclusion: CNNs have demonstrated high performance in automated tooth numbering on panoramic radiographs. Future development of CNN-based models for this purpose should also consider different stages of dentition, such as the primary and mixed dentition stages, as well as the presence of various tooth conditions. Ultimately, an optimized CNN architecture can serve as the foundation for an automated tooth numbering system and for further artificial intelligence research on panoramic radiographs for a variety of purposes.

This paper proposes a method for human identification using teeth contours extracted from dental images that are captured from the frontal views of subjects each of who opens his or her mouth slightly. Each dental image has a black-colored region containing the subject's teeth contours which are usually different from subject to subject. This means that this black-colored region has bio-mimetic information useful for human identification. The basic idea of the method is to extract the upper and lower teeth contours from the dental image of each subject and to encode their geometric patterns using a back-propagation neural network model. After acquiring 400 teeth images form 10 university students, we used 300 images for the training data of the neural network model and 100 images for its verification. Experimental results have shown that the proposed neural network-based method can be used as an alternative solution for identification among a small group of humans with a low cost and simple setup.

The bonding strength [ISO22674] test was conducted by firing a dedicated ceramic powder on the surface of the dental titanium material treated with micro-arc oxidation. In the test group, an average result value of 34.34 MPa was obtained, and in the control group, a result value of 21.53 MPa was obtained. The bonding strength of the test group was higher than that of the control group by 12.81 MPa, resulting in a 37% improvement in durability of the dental artificial tooth ceramic restoration.
