Since the occlusal loading is transmitted to the surrounding bone, the success of an implant treatment is closely related to the distribution of the stress on the implant. The finite element analysis method is often used in order to produce a model for dispersion of stress. Assessment of the success of the implant is usually based on the degree of osseointegration which is a bone and implant surface interface. Implant used in this research was designed through the method of shape optimization after the stress on implant was anaylzed by the finite element analysis method. This study was pertinently assessed by a clinical, histologic, histomorphometric analysis after the shape optimized implant was installed on beagle dog tibia. The results are as follows 1. It clinically showed a good result without mobility and imflammatory reaction. 2. Implant was supported by dense bone and bone remodeling showed on the surrounding area of the implant 3. The average percentage of bone-implant contact was 58.1%.The percentage of bone density was 57.6%. Having above results, shape optimized implant showed the pertinence through clinical and histologic aspects. However, to use the shape optimized implant, the further experiment is required for finding problems, improvement.

The improvement of esthetic dentistry has been accelerated from the development of composite resin and dentin-enamel adhesive since 1980's. The indirect composite resin restorations have more accurate proximal contact point and occlusal form than direct restoration. And the side effect of resin shrinkage is minimal because the amount of composite used in oral cavity is limited in cement space. As a results, marginal leakage, hypersensitivity, secondary caries, and discoloration are significantly diminished. The first generation laboratory composite resin used in indirect resin restoration had been widespread in 1980's and the second generation laboratory composite resins were developed in 1990's. The second generation laboratory composite resins are called Ceramic Polymer. The physical properties of Ceramic Polymer are improved because of high content of inorganic filler, and the esthetics and biocompatibility are better than that of the first generation resin. So the application range using composite resin have been broadened. The purpose of this paper is to introduce Targis & Vectris system that is classified to second generation laboratory composite and to report several cases in which the system was utilized for restoration.

The author studied maximum clenching EMG activities of temporalis anterior and masseter muscle during canine guidance and centric occlusion. It was performed before and after anesthesia of maxillary and mandibular canines. The 22 normal subjects (15 males and 7 females) who had healthy maxillary and mandibular canines were selected. Their occlusal contact scheme was canine guidance during movement and they did not have temporomandibular disorder. The results were as follows : 1. The maximum clenching EMG activities of temporalis anterior and masseter muscle during guidance were less than those during centric occlusion. 2. After left maxillary and mandibular canines were anesthetized with 2% lidocanine with 1:100,000 epinephrine, the maximum clenching EMG acivities of temporalis anterior and masseter muscle during left canine guidance were greater than those before anesthesia of left maxillary and mandibular canines(p<0.01) 3. The maximum clenching EMG activities of temporalis anterior and masseter muscle during right guidance were not significantly different between before and after anesthesia of left maxillary and mandibular canines(p>0.05).

Current dental restorations present a relatively weak resistance to fracture. Owing to their unique mechanical properties, fibre-reinforced polymers are now being considered. Unidirectional or woven continuous fibres, made of glass, polyethylene, carbon or Kevlar, have been evaluated. This study focused on the use of glass fibre knitted fabrics to reinforce acrylate resins, in order to investigate the possibility to construct single crowns as well as three unit bridges. Some points affecting the final composite system were tested ; 1) static strength, with focus on the stress transfer under a occlusal contact point ; 2) modelling of a three nit bridge ; 3) fatigue strength as a posterior three unit bridge material. The study demonstrated that knitted fabric reinforcements are showing an interesting compromise between stiffness, static strength for single crown. For three unit bridge applications in the posterior arch, however knitted glass fabric reinforcements were not strong enough in fatigue An additional reinforcement in the posterior arch fixed partial denture design was recommended.

The ectopic eruption is defined rise to be abnormal eruption, which gives to displacement of the teeth and abnormal root resorption of adjacent teeth. The ectopic eruption of first permanent molar is approximately 2-4% of the population, most of them are in the maxilla, rarely in the mandible. In the case of the second permanent molars, most of them are found in the mandible for the reason of the arch length discrepancies and large size of the teeth. The ectopic erupted molars should be treated early in order to coordinate normal growth pattern and to obtain good occlusal support. So, this should be early diagnosed and treated. But, ectopically erupting molars are often self-corrected, hence periodic follow-up is required. The methods of the treatment are largely classified into surgical, surgical-orthodontic, and orthodontic method. Especially in orthodontic method, they are divided as follows; appliances that is positioned at the contact point for unlocking and the distal movement, fixed and removable appliance that is connected to more than one tooth, and occlusion guiding method after disking or extraction of the second deciduous molar. The report presents the good results in treating patients, whose chief complaint was ectopic eruption of mandibular permanent molars.

This study evaluated the short-term outcome of treating fractures of the mandible with bioabsorbable plates. Thirty-four fractures of the mandible in 27 patients were treated by open reduction and internal fixation using bioabsorbable plates and 2.4-mm, 2.0-mm, and 1.5-mm pre-tapped screws. The duration of intermaxillary fixation ranged from 0 to 23 days, with a mean of 5.3 days. Patients were evaluated for complications during the follow-up period, which ranged from 2 to 18 months. Five patients(18.5%) experienced complications. These included infection (four patients), and premature occlusal contact(one patient). Except for one case, all complications were minor and adequately managed with incision and drainage, elastic traction, and medication. Delayed infection (osteomyelitis) developed in a symphysis fracture and was treated by saucerization and antibiotics. The fracture line subsequently showed complete consolidation. Bioabsorbable plates can be selectively used for internal fixation in mandibular fractures with the advantage that they do not need to be removed.

PURPOSE. This study was accomplished to assess the biomechanical state of different retaining methods of bar implant-overdenture. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Two 3D finite element models were designed. The first model included implant overdenture retained by Hader-clip attachment, while the second model included two extracoronal resilient attachment (ERA) studs added distally to Hader splint bar. A non-linear frictional contact type was assumed between overdentures and mucosa to represent sliding and rotational movements among different attachment components. A 200 N was applied at the molar region unilaterally and perpendicular to the occlusal plane. Additionally, the mandible was restrained at their ramus ends. The maximum equivalent stress and strain (von Mises) were recorded and analyzed at the bone-implant interface level. RESULTS. The values of von Mises stress and strain of the first model at bone-implant interface were higher than their counterparts of the second model. Stress concentration and high value of strain were recognized surrounding implant of the unloaded side in both models. CONCLUSION. There were different patterns of stress-strain distribution at bone-implant interface between the studied attachment designs. Hader bar-clip attachment showed better biomechanical behavior than adding ERA studs distal to hader bar.

Purpose: This study investigated maxillary third molars and their relation to the maxillary sinus using panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) Materials and Methods: A total of 395 maxillary third molars in 234 patients were examined using panoramic radiographs and CBCT images. We examined the eruption level of the maxillary third molars, the available retromolar space, the angulation, the relationship to the second molars, the number of roots, and the relationship between the roots and the sinus. Results: Females had a higher frequency of maxillary third molars with occlusal planes apical to the cervical line of the second molar (Level C) than males. All third molars with insufficient retromolar space were Level C. The most common angulation was vertical, followed by buccoangular. Almost all of the Level C molars were in contact with the roots of the second molar. Erupted teeth most commonly had three roots, and completely impacted teeth most commonly had one root. The superimposition of one third of the root and the sinus floor was most commonly associated with the sinus floor being located on the buccal side of the root. Conclusion: Eruption levels were differently distributed according to gender. A statistically significant association was found between the eruption level and the available retromolar space. When panoramic radiographs showed a superimposition of the roots and the sinus floor, expansion of the sinus to the buccal side of the root was generally observed in CBCT images.

그 동안 많은 연구와 실험에서 운동 중 외상에 대한 마우스가드의 악골, 치아 및 구강조직의 보호 효과를 확인하였다. 그러나 치아 및 구강조직의 장애는 강한 외상 외에도 힘이 반복적으로 가해지는 이악물기와 같은 장애로도 발생한다. 이러한 장애는 주로 구치부의 병적인 교모, 치조골 흡수, 치아 상실 및 교합의 붕괴로 나타난다. 마우스가드의 장착이 이러한 장애를 예방하는데 유효한 것으로 생각되나 그 효과는 충분히 검토되지 않았다. 이 연구에서는 이악물기에 의해 치아에 발생되는 뒤틀림을 마우스가드가 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있는지를 알아보기 위해 스트레인 게이지를 이용 하였다. 7명의 건강한 성인의 치료경험이 없는 하악 제1대구치를 피검치로 선정하고 이축(bi-axial)의 스트레인 게이지를 치아 협면에 접착 하였다. load cell에 의해 측정된 최대 교합력을 기준으로 최초 치아 접촉, 중간 강도의 교합력, 최대 강도의 교합력으로 이악물기 강도를 3단계로 구분 하였다. 마우스가드 장착 전 세 단계의 이악물기 강도에서 치아에 발생하는 스트레인을 측정하고, 마우스가드 장착 후에도 같은 방법으로 측정하였다. 마우스가드 장착 전과 후 각각 세단계의 이악물기 단계 사이의 치아에 발생하는 스트레인의 변화를 분석하였다. 마우스가드 장착 전 후에 치아에 발생하는 스트레인의 변화를 분석하였다. SPSS 13.0 프로그램을 이용 (Wilcoxon signed rank test) 95%의 유의수준에서 통계분석 하였다. 마우스가드 장착 전 치아에 발생하는 스트레인은 이악물기 강도가 증가함에 따라 증가 하였다. 마우스 장착 후에도 치아에 발생하는 스트레인은 이악물기 강도가 증가함에 따라 증가 하였다. 모든 피검자에서 이 악물기 강도에 상관없이 마우스가드 장착으로 스트레인이 감소하였다. 치아의 최초 접촉 시에만 통계적 유의성이 없었으며 최대 이악물기 강도에서는 치아에 발생되는 스트레인이 50-90% 감소하였다. 마우스가드는 이 악물기에 의해 발생되는 치아의 뒤틀림을 감소시켰다. 그러므로 마우스가드는 운동 중에 의식적 무의식적으로 발생되는 이 악물기에 의한 치아의 손상을 효과적으로 예방할 수 있을 것이다.
