Objective: This study aimed to assess three-dimensional changes in the temporomandibular joint positions and mandibular dimensions after correction of dental factors restricting mandibular growth in patients with Class II division 1 or division 2 malocclusion in the pubertal growth period. Methods: This prospective clinical study included 14 patients each with Class II division 1 (group I) and Class II division 2 (group II) malocclusions. The quad-helix was used for maxillary expansion, while utility arches were used for intrusion (group I) or protrusion and intrusion (group II) of the maxillary incisors. After approximately 2 months of treatment, an adequate maxillary arch width and acceptable maxillary incisor inclination were obtained. The patients were followed for an average of 6 months. Intraoral and extraoral photographs, plaster models, and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were obtained before and after treatment. Lateral cephalometric and temporomandibular joint measurements were made from the CBCT images. Results: The mandibular dimensions increased in both groups, although mandibular positional changes were also found in group II. There were no differences in the condylar position within the mandibular fossa or the condylar dimensions. The mandibular fossa depth and condylar positions were symmetrical at treatment initiation and completion. Conclusions: Class II malocclusion can be partially corrected by achieving an ideal maxillary arch form, particularly in patients with Class II division 2 malocclusion. Restrictions of the mandible in the transverse or sagittal plane do not affect the temporomandibular joint positions in these patients because of the high adaptability of this joint.

PURPOSE. The maximum width between the mesial and distal labial transitional line angles, described as "esthetic width" herein, could significantly influence the visual perception of the teeth and smile. This study aimed to conduct biometric research on esthetic width and to explore whether regular distribution exists in the esthetic width of human teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 4,264 maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth were measured using the Geomagic studio software program. The proportions of maxillary to mandibular homonymous teeth and proportions between the adjacent teeth were calculated. Bilateral symmetry and the correlation between the esthetic and mesiodistal widths were both accounted for during the measurement procedures. RESULTS. The mean esthetic widths were 6.773 ± 0.518 mm and 4.329 ± 0.331 mm for maxillary and mandibular central incisors, respectively, 5.451 ± 0.487 mm and 5.008 ± 0.351 mm for maxillary and mandibular lateral incisors, respectively, and 3.340 ± 0.353 mm and 5.958 ± 0.415 mm for maxillary and mandibular canines, respectively. Except for the mandibular canines, no significant difference in esthetic width was found among homonymous teeth from the same jaw. A high linear correlation was found between the esthetic and mesiodistal widths of the same tooth, except for the maxillary canines. Esthetic width proportions among different tooth categories showed some regular patterns, which were similar to those of the mesiodistal width. CONCLUSION. Esthetic width is regularly distributed among the teeth in the Chinese population. This could provide an important reference for anterior dental restorations and dimension recovery in esthetic reconstruction of anterior teeth.

This study was carried out to compare the amount of the maxillary bone remodeling and tooth displacement in each three maxillary superimposition methods, Ricketts, Best-fit, Structural method. Forty cases of the lateral cephalometric radiographs from 27 boys and 13 girls who had been treated to correct anterior cross-bite were selected for the study. The initial radiographs were taken at about 8-year-old and the second radiographs were taken in about 3.3 years later. Followings were the results: 1. With the Structural method, backward movement was shown in PNS, while forward movement was observed in ANS and point A. With the Ricketts method, however, all structures were shown significant backward movement comparing with Structural method(P<0.05). With the Best-fit method, the amount of horizontal movement was similar to that of the Structural method(P>0.05). 2. The palate seemed to be moved downward with Structural method, but there was no measured downward remodeling on nasal floor with Ricketts and Best-fit method(P<0.05). 3. Comparing with Structural method, Ricketts and Best-fit method significantly underestimated the eruption of the teeth by 20% to 30% (P<0.05). 4. The Structural method showed the anteroinferior rotation (43%) and posteroinferior rotation(57%) of the palatal plane, while the Best-fit method showed mostly anterosuperior rotation(87%), but no change was found in the Ricketts method. 5. With the Structural method, there was a statistically significant correlation between the amount of the rotation of the palatal plane and that of N-S line(r=0.86). 6. The measured angles of the long axis of the incisors and molars showed no significant difference in each 3 methods(P>0.05).

In order to achieve a satisfactory esthetic result of periodontal surgery or implant in maxillary anterior area, periodontists must be aware of normal alveolar bone anatomy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship of alveolar bone morphology to tooth shape and form. 78(mean age : 25 yrs) periodontally healthy volunteers participated in this study. Two maxillary central incisor and one lateral incisor were selected to study. With minimal local anesthesia, gutta-percha cone inserted to labial gingival sulcus of selected teeth just after bone sounding with periodontal probe. Metal ball (4mm diameter) attached to palatal fossa of central incisor. Then, periapical radiograph was taken according to long cone paralleling technique. After film scan, labial alveolar bone profile reproduced along interproximal bone and apical ends of gutta-percha cones on computer screen. By utilizing computer program, the distance from height of interproximal bone to the labial bone crest in central incisor-central incisor and central incisor-lateral incisor area was measured and converted to real distance by using vertical length of metal ball on film. After measuring crown length & width of central incisor, the 10 individuals ranked lowest GW/L ratio (crown width/length ratio) and the 10 ranked highest were selected as having a long-narrow(group N), or a short-wide(group W) form of the central incisors. Means of the distance from height of interproximal bone to the labial bone crest of group N, W were calculated and compared by means of independent t-test. The results were as follows: 1. Mean distance from the height of the interproximal bone to the labial bone crest was $3.5{\pm}0.7mm$ between two central incisor, and $2.8{\pm}0.6mm$ between central and lateral incisor. 2. Mean GW/L ratio of group N was 0.57, and group W was 0.8. Mean distance from the height of the interproximal bone to the labial bone crest of group N was higher than group W in both measured area(measurements of group N, W were $3.9{\pm0.2mm$ and $3.5{\pm}0.2mm$ between two central incisor, $3.0{\pm}0.2mm$ and $2.8{\pm}0.2mm$ between central and lateral incisor), but there were no statistically significant differences when the groups were compared. Within the limits of the present study, there was a tendency that subjects with long-narrow teeth have more scalloped alveolar bone profile than subjects with short-wide teeth in upper anterior area, but no statistically significant differences were found.

This study was accomplished to analyse and compare the occlusal contact patterns during eccentric mandibular movements in adult with normal occlusion. 50 subjects(male 27, female 23), who had natural occlusion and no symptom of temporomandibular disorder, were selected. Teeth contact patterns during mandibular eccentric movements were recorded and the distribution of tooth contacts in maximum intercuspation analysed by T-scan system. And then, tooth contact numbers recored by T-scan and silicone bite registration at centric occlusion were analysed and compared. The results obtained were as follows : 1. Antero-posteriorly, the qualitative center of occlusal contacts in centric occlusion were in the first molar areas, but there was a slight deviation in left-right directions. Thus, distribution of occlusal contacts were not bilaterally symmetric. 2. During the mandibular movements from centric occlusal position to right lateral and left lateral directions, the frequency that maxillary canine joined in lateral guidance was relatively high, but pure canine protected occlusion or pure group function occlusion had small frequency. 3. During mandibular protrusive movement, one or more maxillary central incisors frequently joined in protrusive guidance. 4. During mandibular eccentric movements, working and balancing side premature contact was observered in relatively high frequency. 5. In centric occlusal position, the numbers of occlusal contacts recorded on T-scan were relatively smaller than on silicone bite registration.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the root surface areas of the maxillary permanent teeth in Thai patients exhibiting anterior normal overbite and in those exhibiting anterior open bite, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: CBCT images of maxillary permanent teeth from 15 patients with anterior normal overbite and 18 patients with anterior open bite were selected. Three-dimensional tooth models were constructed using Mimics Research version 17.0. The cementoenamel junction was marked manually. The root surface area was calculated automatically by 3-Matic Research version 9.0. The root surface areas of each tooth type from both types of bite were compared using the independent t-test (P<.05). The intraclass correlation coefficient was used to assess intraobserver reliability. Results: The mean root surface areas of the maxillary central and lateral incisors in individuals with anterior open bite were significantly less than those in those with normal bite. The mean root surface area of the maxillary second premolar in individuals with anterior open bite was significantly greater than in those with normal bite. Conclusion: Anterior open-bite malocclusion might affect the root surface area, so orthodontic force magnitudes should be carefully determined.

스트레이트 와이어 장치의 효율적 운영을 위해서 제시되어야 할 여러 사항 중 치관의 굴곡도에 대한 연구는 국내, 외에서 매우 미흡하다. 이에 본 연구는 한국인 영구치의 순, 협측 임상치관 굴곡도를 조사하기 위해 시행되었다 이를 위해 정상적인 해부학적 구조를 갖고있는 구강 석고모형 36쌍을 대상으로 3차원 레이저 스캐닝 하였다. Andrews plane 과 Facial axis of clinical crown(FACC)을 각각 수평 , 수직 기준선으로 설정하고, 이들로부터 상, 하 방향과 좌, 우 방향으로 각각 1m간격으로 2개 혹은 3개씩의 선을 그었다. 이들 선이 교차하는 점들에 대한 3차원적 점 좌표를 만들어 놓고 36쌍 구강 석고모형의 각각 좌표점들의 평균을 구하였다 3차원 좌표 점(x,y,z)을 이용해 곡면 방정식을 만들어 각 치아의 곡률을 구하였고, 가로, 세로 각 방향의 2차원 곡선으로 단순화시킨 곡선에서의 곡률을 구하여 치아 부위마다의 곡률 변화를 계측하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 한국인 영구치 치관의 순, 협면 굴곡도의 기초자료를 얻었다. 2. 남, 녀 간에 치관 굴곡도 차이는 없었다. 3. 개개 치아의 치관 굴곡에 대한 특성 1) 상악 중절치에서 치은쪽과 절단면쪽의 곡률 차이가 다른 치아에 비해 심하였으며, 치은쪽이 더욱 심한 곡률을 보였다. 2) 상악 견치의 치관 굴곡도는 근심-절단면쪽의 굴곡이 다른면에 비해 더 심하였다. 3) 상악 제 1소구치에서는 근심-교합면쪽과 원심-치은쪽에서의 굴곡이 더 심하여 치관 표면의 굴곡이 대각선 방향으로 서로 뒤틀린 반면, 상악 제 2소구치에서는 근심 끝과 원심 끝의 치관 표면 굴곡이 비슷하여 서로 평행하게 나타났다. 4) 하악 중절치와 하악 측절치의 치관 굴곡도에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 5) 하악 제 2소구치의 교합면-치은쪽으로의 굴곡이 하악 제 1소구치나 상악 제 2소구치에 비하여 더 둥근 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, 하악 중절치와 측절치는 브라켓 베이스를 같게 해도 무방하다. 그러나 상악 제 1소구치와 제 2소구치, 그리고, 하악 제 1소구치와 제 2소구치는 치관 굴곡도에 차이가 있으므로 브라켓 제작시 베이스의 굴곡을 다르게 하여야 한다.
