For orthodontic treatment, most commonly, an archwire is inserted into orthodontic brackets that can be made from stainless steel. Then, the archwires interact with the brackets to move teeth into the desired positions. However, the activation of an archwire may induce undesirable rotation of a tooth due to the moment application. An appropriate magnitude of the gable bends of an archwires prevents its rotation. However, it is not easy to predict the relationship between the rotation and the gable bend. This study presents the numerical approach to predict the rotation of a tooth with respect to the gable bend in the activation of an archwire. To predict the rotation of a tooth, the kriging interpolation method is introduced.

This is a case report of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia developed in the craniofacial region of 21 year old male patient, who had complained the buccolingual expansion of left mandibular body area, malocclusion and facial asymmetry. We could achieve satisfactory results by radical resection of the relatively well defined small lesion of mandible and by cosmetic bone shaving procedure on the widely dispersed and poorly defined lesions of cranium. But the persistent growth and recurrence of the lesions may produce loss of hearing, visual difficulties, facial paralysis and anosmia, and as it is a polyostotic type occured in the craniofacial region of male patient, the possibility of malignant degeneration should not be excluded completely and periodic recall and check up will be necessary.

The present paper describes 4 clinical cases of Hellman dental age III A group of functional Class III malocclusion in which the horsehoe appliance was applied to obtain normal anteroposterior relationship between jaws. What is the most noteworthy in the result from the use of this appliance is that minimum down and backward rotation during backward repositioning of the mandible is noticed and the excellent retentive property in itself makers allowance for effective orthopedic correction in mixed dentition with anterior crossbite.

The author has studied on the gonical angles in cephalometric roentgenograph and orthopantomograph. Lateral cephalometric roentgenograms and orthopantomograms were taken from 62 patients who were consisted of 32 boys and 30 girls with dentoalveolar Class I malocclusion. Genial angles were measured on cephalograms and orthopantomograms respectively, and calculated the mean values and standard deviations and 't' test was performed on the relationship between the cephologram and orthopantomogram. Results were as followings; 1. Mean value of genial angles was $126.47^{\circ}\;{\pm}\;5.62$ in cephalgram. In orthopantomograms the gonial angle was $125.23^{\circ}\;{\pm}\;6.68$ in left side and $126.47^{\circ}\;{\pm}\;6.85$ in the right side. 2. Result of 't' test showed no significant differences on the level of 1 percent.

전치개교에 관한 원인과 여러가지 치료법의 장단점을 논의했고 전치개교본태를 객관적으로 이해하는데 강조했다. 진단의 주관적인 해석은 부정교합을 잘못 기술해서 위험한 결과를 흔히 유도하게 된다. 해부학, 생리학, 조직학과 교정기계요법의 역학에 관한 길은 지식을 가진다면 대부분 전치개교치료는 외과적중재 없이 높은 성공율과 안정을 기할 수 있다. 이러한 점에서 지난 20여년동안 임상적으로 정립된 Kim의 MEAW 시술을 설명했으며 전치개교치료증례들이 이 MEAW요법을 입증하는데 제시되었다.

Septic arthritis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a rare disease. The most common symptoms of this disease are acute malocclusion, limited mouth opening, swelling, and tenderness of affected TMJ. These symptoms are often confused with internal derangement of the articular disc, rheumatoid arthritis, retrodiscitis, or osteoarthritis. Therefore, differential diagnosis by image examination is required. Usually, antimicrobial treatment and surgical drainage by needle aspiration, arthroscopy, or arthrotomy are effective treatment approaches. In this study, a patient who was diagnosed with septic arthritis was treated with arthrocentesis and antibiotics without significant complications. We present a case report with a review of the literature.

The causes of periodontal disease have been descried as malocclusion, trauma from occlusion, local irritants and poor oral hygien. The systemic factor has also been considered as a etiologic factor of periodontal disease. On the other aspect systemic condition could be affected by periodontal disease. For the study of relationships between periodontal disease and systemic condition, twenty patients with periodontal disease and twenty persons with no periodontal involvement were evaluated for inorganic elements and organic materials in the blood. The results of the blood analysis of the two groups were as follows. : Phosphorus and alkline-phoshatase in the group with periodontal disease showed slightly increased phenomenon compared to the control group, and on the other hand calcium and calcium-phosphorus ratio decreased phenomenon. But there is no any significant alteration in the content of each element between the two groups.

Osteochondroma is one of the most common benign tumors that occur in the bone, but in the head and neck region, osteochondroma appears rarely. Malocclusion, temporomandiublar disorders and facial asymmetry can occur in most cases with osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle. Most surgeons prefer massive removal of osteochondroma and reconstruction of condyle, simultaneously, to prevent various complications, such as a lateral open bite on the contralateral side. We report a surgical treatment and reconstruction of osteochondroma on a mandibular condyle through intraoral approach.

Patient with skeletal class II relationship was treated with L-ARS. L-ARS is fixed functional appliance that could be effective in children and adolescent patient who don't wear activator. The following results were obtained ; 1) Growth of Mandible was stimulated and overjet was decreased, therefore coupling of anterior teeth was established with L-ARS which is fixed functional appliance. 2) These changes were accomplished with Mandibular skeletal growth with no effect on the Maxilla. 3) L-ARS was especially effective on patient who deny to wear the removable functional appliance.
