This study was aimed to help the construction of esthetic dental prosthesis by investigation of the factors affecting on the atterition position and attrition angle of maxillary lateral incisors. Therefore 197 complete cast of maxillary and mandibualar extracted form the student of K. college were subjected for this study, and result throught the study are as follows. 1. None attrite rate of the maxiilary right lateral incisors was about 16.2% and that of the maxillary left lateral incisors was about 32.4% of examined teeth. 2. Throught mesiodistal attrition area 1) It showed that right lateral incisors was the most frequence in attrition of mesial area of incisal edge, and left lateral incisors was the most frequence in attrition of mesial and mid area of incisal edge. 2) It showed that square type arch was more frequence in attrition of all incisal edge, and ovoid type arch was more frequence in the attrition of mid area of incisal edge, and ovoid type arch was more frequence in the attrition of mid area of incisal edge, and taper type arch was more frequence in the attrition of mesial area of incisal edge than it of average frequence of right lateral incisors, by dental arch type. 3) It showed that square type arch was more frequence in the attrition of all area and mid area of incisal edge, and ovoid type arch was more frequence in the attrition of mid area of incisal edge, and taper type arch was more frequence in the attrition of mesial and distal area of incisal edge than it of average frequence of left lateral incisal, by dental arch type. 4) Sex, vertical overlap, horizontal overlap, incisal guide angle, did not affect significantly to throughout mesiodistal attrition, statistically 3. Throughout labiolingual attrition quantity. 1) It showed that throughout labiolingual attrition quantity was more attrition in order of taper type arch < ovoid type arch < square type arch, by dental arch type. 2) It showed that throughout labiolingual attrition qauntity was more attrition when the length of horizontal overlap is shorter than it of other, by horizontal overlap. 3) Throughout labiolingual attrition quantity of right lateral incisors showed that male was more attrition than it of female. 4) Vertical overlap, incisal guide angle, sex on left lateral incisors did not affect significantly to throughout labiolingual attrition, statistically. 4. Attrition angle 1) It showed that average attrition anlge of right lateral incisors were $30{\pm}13.02$ degree, and it of left lateral incisors were $26{\pm}13.37$ degree. 2) It showed that taper type arch have a bigger attrition angle than it of average of lateral incisors, and square tape arch have a smaller attrition angle than it of average of lateral incisors, by dental arch type. 3) It showed that horizontal overlap of 2.1mm above have a bigger attrition angle than it of average, by horizontal overlap. 4) It showed that female have a bigger attrition angle it of male, by sex.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of three intraoral scanner (IOS) systems with three different dental arch widths. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Three dental models with different intermolar widths (small, medium, and large) were attached to metal bars of different lengths (30, 40, and 50 mm). The bars were measured with a coordinate measuring machine and used as references. Three IOSs were compared: TRIOS 3 (TRI), True Definition (TD), and Dental Wings (DW). The relative length and angular deviation of both ends of the metal bars from the scan data set (n = 15) were calculated and analyzed. RESULTS. Comparing among scanners in terms of trueness, the relative length deviation of DW in the small (1.28%) and medium (1.08%) arches were significantly higher than TRI (0.46% and 0.48%) and TD (0.33% and 0.18%). The angular deviation of DW in the small (1.75°) and medium (1.83°) arches were also significantly greater than TRI (0.63° and 0.40°) and TD (0.55° and 0.89°). Comparing within scanner, the large arch of DW showed better accuracy than other arch sizes (P < .05). On the other hand, the larger arch of TD presented a greater tendency of angular deviation in terms of trueness. No significant differences were found in terms of trueness between the arch widths of TRI group. CONCLUSION. The different widths of the dental arches can affect the accuracy of some intraoral scanners in full arch scan.

Purpose: Palatal fracture and mandible fracture result in instability of dental arch. Because they divide the maxillary and mandibular alveolus sagittally and / or transversely and comminute the dentition, they permit rotation of dental alveolar segments and significantly increase the potential for fracture malalignment, complicating fracture treatment. Previous treatment of palatal fracture consisted of palatal splint application and rigid palatal vault stabilization. This procedure result in patient's oral discomfort and removal of palate and screw. Mandible fracture often results in malocclusion due to widening of posterior aspect of dental arch. So we introduce more simple method using intermolar traction wiring, which can protect the widening of dental arch and rotation of dental alveolar segment. Methods: Arch bar and intermolar traction wiring with wire 1 - 0, or 2 - 0 was applied. After exposure of fracture line, neutrooclusion was maintained with intermaxillary fixation. And then open reduction & internal fixation on maxillary fracture line, commonly maxillary buttress, alveolar ridge, pyriform aperture except palatal vault or mandibular fracture line. After 1 week, intermolar traction wiring was removed. We checked occlusion and postoperative radiologic finding. Results: From June of 2007 to October of 2007, 10 patient, who have maxillary fracture with palatal fracture and mandible fracture, underwent open reduction & internal fixation with intermolar traction wiring. All have satisfactory occlusion and there were no complication, like gingiva disease, mouth opening impairment and nonunion. Conclusion: The intermolar traction wiring accompany open reduction and internal fixation can be alternative method for restoration of dental arch in facial bone fracture.

The purpose of this study was to compare arch dimensions and frequency distribution of arch forms between Korean and Japanese Class I, II, and III malocclusion groups. Methods: The sample consisted of 368 Korean cases (114 Class I, 119 Class II, and 135 Class III malocclusion) and 160 Japanese cases (60 Class I, 50 Class II, and 50 Class III malocclusion). The most facial portion of 13 proximal contact areas was digitized from photocopied images of the mandibular dental arches. Clinical bracket slot points were calculated for each tooth based on mandibular tooth thickness data. Four linear and two proportional measurements were taken. Measurements are statistically analyzed in each malocclusion group. The dental arches were classified into square, ovoid, and tapered forms to determine and compare the frequency distributions between the two ethnic groups. Results: The findings of this study showed that Japanese females in Class I and II groups had a statistically significant narrower mandibular dental arch width compared with the Japanese males, Korean males and Korean females. But in the Class III group, there was no significant difference in the mandibular dental arch size according to the two ethnic groups and genders. Conclusions: The majority of Koreans and Japanese in all the malocclusion groups exhibited square and ovoid arch forms. The most frequent arch forms found in Koreans was square but ovoid for Japanese.

The purpose of this study was to examine the size, form of dental arch and occlusion type in college students in our country and the relationship of the factors. The subjects in this study were 210 selected dental hygiene students. The collected data were analyzed by a statistical package PASW 18.0. When their size, form and occlusion of dental arch were analyzed, the inter-canine width of the maxillary was 34.38 mm, and the inter-first molar width was 52.05 mm. The canine depth was 8.60 mm, and the first molar depth was 28.69 mm. As for the mandibular, the inter-canine width was 26.42 mm, and the inter-first molar width was 44.83 mm. The canine depth was 5.54 mm, and the first molar depth was 24.38 mm. Concerning the form of dental arch, the percentage of normal dental arch in the maxillary stood at 29.0, and that of crowding stood at 60.5. The percentage of spacing stood at 10.5. In the case of the mandibular, the percentage of normal dental arch stood at 29.0; crowding, 55.7; and spacing, 15.2. In relation to occlusion, the percentage of normal occlusion stood at 16.7. As to malocclusion, class I that accounted for 55.7 was most common, and class II and class III respectively accounted for 20.5 and 7.1. When the size of dental arch was compared according to the form and occlusion of it, dental arch was largest (45.95 mm) in size when the form of dental arch in the inter-first molar width of the mandibular was spacing. The size of dental arch was 44.73 mm when its form in the same region was normal, and that was 44.58 mm when its form in the same region was crowding (p=0.032). Regarding the relationship between the form and occlusion of dental arch, crowding was most common when there were class I, II and III of malocclusion both in the maxillary and mandibular.

The symphyseal mandibular fractures due to accidents happened in form of collapsed transeverse arch and multiple teeth loss. And the collapsed transverse arch in mandible occurs with unilaterally or bilaterally. So that patient needs to recover arch width. Conventional approaches, however, we difficult to get appropriate transverse arch correction. Distraction osteogenesis is a unique form of clinical tissue engineering and biologic process of new bone formation between bone segments that are gradually separately by incremental traction. Distraction osteogenesis is considered that great potential for correcting transverse mandibular deficiencies. Tn this paper, distraction osteogenesis applied to patients who had a unilateral or bilateral collapsed arch width in mandible. But it was necessary secrutinize consideration about periodontal conditions, biomechanical vectors, TMJ adaptations, and neuromuscular change during distraction osteogenesis period.

This study is aimed to establish the direction of orthodontic treatment by analyzing the differences in the dental arch development due to the cause of short stature. Dental diagnostic tests were conducted on patients who were diagnosed with short stature. Idiopathic short statured children were classified through the paired sampling based on the age and gender of a short statured children with growth hormone shortage. Control groups were classified using same method as above, after selecting candidates with an arch length of less than 3mm and malocclusion. In conclusion, short statured children with growth hormone shortage or idiopathic had the higher rate of crowding and the small value of overbite compared to normal children. Therefore orthodontic treatment for short statured children needs treatment plan included evaluation for Arch length discrepancy to treat a crowding early. This study will provide important data for successful orthodontic treatment according to the characteristics of dental occlusion of short statured children.
