교정치료시 치아와 주위조직의 부작용을 최소로 하면서 최대의 치료결과를 얻기 위해서는 치료역학을 각 환자의 치아 및 주위 해부학적 환경에 맞도록 개인화 시켜야한다. 특히 성인 교정시 문제되기 쉬운 치근흡수 또는 치주질환으로 인한 치조골 손실로 인하여 치관/치근 비율이 변했을 때 치아의 저항중심위치의 변화와 관련된 생역학적 반응의 차이에 주의하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 정상 치주조직뿐만 아니라 다양한 비정상적 치주 및 치아상태에서 치관/치근 비율이 변하였을 때 일정한 교정력하에서의 치아의 초기이동 양상을 연구하기 위하여, 성인의 인체 건조 두개골 및 하악골상에서 laser 반사측정법 및 lever and pulley force applicator와 photodetector를 이용하여, 상악 6전치군을 대상으로는 치조골높이를 각각의 치아에 대하여 2mm씩 총 8mm까지 감소시켰고, 하악 6전치군을 대상으로는 치근길이를 각각의 치아에 대하여 2mm씩 총6mm까지 감소시키면서, 이렇게 다양하게 정량화된 변수들 하에서 상하악6전치군의 저항중심의 위치변화를 연구한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 초기상태에서 상악 6전치군의 초기이동시의 저항중심점의 위치는 6전치 전체 평균치아 치근의 치경부(CEJ)로부터 치근첨 방향으로 약 $42.4\%$되는 위치에 있었으며, 각 치아의 치조골의 높이가 감소할수록 저항중심점은 치근첨방향으로 약 $76.7\%$되는 부위까지 이동하였다. 2. 상악 6전치군에서 저항중심점의 6전치 전체 평균 치조정으로부터의 거리는 치조골의 감소와 함께 지속적으로 감소하였으나, 치조골내의 평균 치근의 길이에 대한 비율은 치조골의 감소에 상관없이 약 $33\%$내외에서 비교적 일정하였다. 3. 초기상태에서 하악 6전치군의 초기이동시의 저항중심점의 위치는 6전치 전체 평균치아 치근의 CEJ로부터 치근첨방향으로 약 $43\%$되는 위치에 있었으며, 각 치아의 치근의 길이가 감소할수록 이 비율은 약 $54\%$까지 증가하였다. 그러나 CEJ로부터 저항중심점까지의 거리는 5.3mm전후로부터 3.3mm내외까지 감소하여 치근의 길이가 감소할수록 저항중심점이 CEJ방향으로 이동하였다. 4.치조골 또는 치근흡수시, 각각의 단위 흡수량에 따른 저항중심위치의 변화에 미치는 영향은 초기에는 치조골이 감소 될 때가 더 컸으나 전체 평균 치근길이의 중간부위에서의 영향은 비슷했다.

The patient, 16 years female, complained of anterior cross-bite and retrusion of maxilla. Mandibular incisors occluded labially to maxillary incisors. Normally developed mandibular arch in normal elation to facial line, S-N-Pog was within normal range. Cross-bite of anterior teeth was corrected by means of Class III elastics under multibanded system. Space for alignment of crowding of upper anterior teeth was regained by means of cervical headgear and sliding yoke. She gained good alignment of anterior teeth and attractive facial profile after 2 years.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the thickness of buccal and palatal alveolar bone and buccal bony curvature below root apex in maxillary anterior teeth of Korean adults using Cone-beam CT images. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The 3D image was reconstructed with dicom file obtained through CBCT from 20 - 39 year old Korean subjects (n = 20). The thickness of buccal and palatal plate, root diameter, the buccal bony curvature angle below root apex and the distance from root apex to the deepest point of buccal bony curvature were measured on maxillary anterior teeth area using OnDemand3D program. RESULTS. Mean thickness of buccal plate 3 mm below CEJ was $0.68{\pm}0.29\;mm$ at central incisor, $0.76{\pm}0.59\;mm$ at lateral incisor, and $1.07{\pm}0.80\;mm$ at canine. Mean thickness of palatal plate 3 mm below CEJ was $1.53{\pm}0.55\;mm$ of central incisor, $1.18{\pm}0.66\;mm$ of lateral incisor, $1.42{\pm}0.77\;mm$ of canine. Bucco-lingual diameter 3 mm below CEJ was $5.13{\pm}0.37\;mm$ of central incisor, $4.58{\pm}0.46\;mm$ of lateral incisor, and $5.93{\pm}0.47\;mm$ of canine. Buccal bony curvature angle below root apex was $134.7{\pm}17.5^{\circ}$ at central incisor, $151.0{\pm}13.9^{\circ}$ at lateral incisor, $153.0{\pm}9.5^{\circ}$ at canine. Distance between root apex and the deepest point of buccal bony curvature of central incisor was $3.67{\pm}1.28\;mm$ at central incisor, $3.90{\pm}1.51\;mm$ at lateral incisor, and $5.13{\pm}1.70\;mm$ at canine. CONCLUSION. Within the limitation of this study in Korean adults, the thickness of maxillary anterior buccal plate was very thin within 1mm and the thickness of palatal plate was thick, relatively. The buccal bony curvature below root apex of maxillary central incisor was higher than that of lateral incisor and canine and it seems that the buccal bony plate below root apex of central incisor is most curved.

The retraction of anterior teeth is one of the fundamental methods in orthodontic treatment and a proper position and angulation of anterior teeth after the retraction are very important for esthetics, stability, and function of teeth. In this research we analyzed, by Finite Element Method, the stress distribution on the periodontal ligament according to the variation of force and moment applied on the crown and predict the pattern of movement of maxillary central incisor. At the same time, the amount of force and moment caused by activation of the loop which was used for retraction of maxillary central incisor was analyzed by Finite Element Method. We observed the following results: 1) We could control the stress distribution on the periodontal ligament by proper moment/force ratio on maxillary right central incisor and predict the pattern of movement of maxillary right central incisor. 2) The amount of stress on the periodontal ligament as well as the moment/force ratio demanded by each pattern of movement increased as the destruction of alveolar bone was worse. 3) The moment/force ratio demanded by each pattern of movement decreased as the angle between the maxillary central incisor and occlusal plane decreased. 4) The force with the open loop was shown to be large compared to that with the closed loop. Also, the force with the helix decreased by 30% compared to that without the helix. 5) Under the same conditions we observed a larger moment/force ratio when the open loop and/or the helix were used.

Purpose: After extraction, the alveolar bone tends to undergo atrophy in three-dimensions. The amount of alveolar bone loss in the horizontal dimension has been reported to be greater than the amount of bone loss in the vertical dimension, and is most pronounced in the buccal aspect. The aim of this study was to monitor the predictive alveolar bone level following the extraction of anterior teeth seriously involved with advanced chronic periodontitis. Methods: This study included 25 patients with advanced chronic periodontitis, whose maxillary anterior teeth had been extracted due to extensive attachment loss more than one year before the study. Periapical radiographs were analyzed to assess the vertical level of alveolar bone surrounding the edentulous area. An imaginary line connecting the mesial and the distal ends of the alveolar crest facing the adjacent tooth was arbitrarily created. Several representative coordinates were established in the horizontal direction, and the vertical distance from the imaginary line to the alveolar crest was measured at each coordinate for each patient using image analysis software. Regression functions predicting the vertical level of the alveolar bone in the maxillary anterior edentulous area were identified for each patient. Results: The regression functions demonstrated a tendency to converge to parabolic shapes. The predicted maximum distance between the imaginary line and the alveolar bone calculated using the regression function was $1.43{\pm}0.65mm$. No significant differences were found between the expected and actual maximum distances. Likewise, the predicted and actual maximum horizontal distances did not show any significant differences. The distance from the alveolar bone crest to the imaginary lines was not influenced by the mesio-distal spans of the edentulous area. Conclusions: After extraction, the vertical level of the alveolar ridge increased to become closer to the reference line connecting the mesial and distal alveolar crests.

A patient with TMJ osteoarthritis and anterior open bite was treated with an intermaxillary traction device. Pretreatment examination revelaed a pain in both TMJ during mouth opening, moderate tendernesso f left sternocleidomastoid and right trapezius muscles. Anterior open Bite was aobserved with interincisal distance of 2mm. Tomograms and MRI showed anterior disc displacement withouit reductoin of both temporomandibular joints, and the condyles were flattened and slightly eroded. A pair of full-coverage occlusal appliances was made on both maxillary and mandibular dentition, with pivoting fulcrum on the site of the second moalr. Traction force was gained by the intermaxillary orthodontic elastics which were hooked by orthodontic brackets on the labial surfaces of the upper and lower anterior and premolar teeth. After 8 weeks of traction treatment, the joint pain was subsided completely and the anterior open bite was closed to get an edge to edge relationship of anterior teeth.

This case report presents two maxillary anterior cases for clinical crown lengthening by forced eruption. In the first case, clinical crown of maxillary right lateral incisor was almost lost by fracture. Forced eruption using intracoronal splint and elastic thread accomplished vertical root movement successfully. Then, post & core was inserted and final restoration was harmonious with adjacent teeth. In the second case, the crown portion of maxillary right central incisor was almost mutilated by secondary caries. Forced eruption using removable Hawley appliance and elastic accomplished vertical root movement successfully. Then, post & core was inserted and final restoration was placed. In conclusion, clinical crown lengthening by vertical root movement can be accomplished by a simple appliance without any sacrifice of periodontal support in selected patients. A clinical crown so created can be restored to adequate function and arch integrity without compromising adjacent teeth. Therefore, forced eruption is preferred in the anterior region of the dentition where esthetics is of major concern.

Fusion of teeth is a developmental anomaly. It occurs at the stage of tooth formation, which determines the shape and size of the tooth crown, when one or more teeth fuse at the dentin level during the morphodifferentiation of the dental germs. Such teeth show macrodontia and may cause crowding, as well as esthetic and endodontic problems. In this article, we report a rare case of a maxillary central incisor fused to a supernumerary tooth showing labial and palatal talon cusps, which was orthodontically moved across the midpalatal suture. A 13-year-old Caucasian boy sought treatment for the unesthetic appearance of his maxillary central incisor and anterior crowding. He was rehabilitated successfully via a multidisciplinary approach involving orthodontic, nonsurgical endodontic, periodontal, and prosthodontic treatments. After a 26-month treatment period, the patient's macroesthetics and microesthetics were improved. The overall improvement of this macrodontic tooth and its surrounding tissues through multidisciplinary treatment was documented using cone-beam computed tomography.

Objectives: Anterior maxillary sinus wall fractures are common in all types of maxillofacial trauma. They can result in various complications, including injury to the surrounding nerves. Owing to its anatomy, trauma to the maxillary antrum can result in injury to the middle superior alveolar nerve (MSAN) and the anterior superior alveolar nerve (ASAN). The purpose of this study is to evaluate neurosensory deficits (NSD) present in maxillary gingiva, incisors, and premolars after injury to the anterior wall of the maxillary antrum. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was conducted among 39 patients sustaining unilateral fractures of the anterior maxillary sinus wall. Clinical neurosensory tests including two-point discrimination and fine touch discrimination were performed to classify the extent of nerve injuries as mild, moderate, severe, or anesthetic. Additional temperature discrimination and pulpal sensibility tests (electric pulp testing and cold testing) were carried out. A comparison of radiographic fracture patterns and severity of nerve injury was done. Testing was carried out immediately after trauma and at 2-month follow-up. Results: More than half of the patients assessed in the study group presented with NSD of the teeth and gingiva after trauma. The incidence of deficits varied with the type of test used to measure them. Most frequently, patients presented with both loss of two point as well as fine touch discrimination thresholds. Severe nerve injuries were associated with loss of temperature discrimination clinically and displaced fractures radiographically. There was no significant relationship between the recovery of pulpal and gingival sensation. The patterns of injury and recovery in ASAN and MSAN were similar. Conclusion: NSD after trauma to the maxillary antrum is relatively common. Clinical loss of temperature discrimination and radiographic signs of fracture lines passing through the canalis sinuosus are predictors of persistent and severe oral NSD.
