Severe maxilla1y deficiency can be caused by cleft lip and palate(CLP), other craniofacial deformities, atrophy in the edentulous maxilla, and trauma. Patients with maxillary deficiency present a difficult treatment challenge. Traditionally, this skeletal deformity has been treated by Le Fort osteotomy, skeletal repositioning, and fixation with mini-plates and screws. The drawbacks of this method include a limited amount of anterior maxillary advancement often requiring simultaneous mandibular setback, the inability to create new bone, and minimal soft tissue adaptation to the new position, all of which increase the potential of relapse in case of large advancement. The alternative method of maxillary distraction osteogenesis offers promising results for successfully treatment of these patients while potentially minimizing the risk of relapse.

Facial skeletal remodeling was revolutionized more than 30 years ago, by the work of Tessier and other craniofacial surgeons. However, the need to correct the skeleton in the upper third of the face is not frequently diagnosed or treated in aesthetic facial surgery. Here, we report on the aesthetic correction of a protrusive forehead. A patient visited our hospital for aesthetic contouring with a prominent forehead. The anterior wall of the frontal sinus was removed with a craniotome via the bicoronal approach. After the excised bone was repositioned, it was fixed with a titanium mesh plate and screws. An electric burr was used to contour the supraorbital rim and frontal bone. Once the desired shape was achieved, the periosteum was replaced, and the wound was closed in layers. When performed properly, frontal sinus contouring could significantly improve the appearance in patients with a prominent forehead. Plastic surgeons must carefully evaluate patients with a prominent forehead for skeletal remodeling that involves the accurate and safe repositioning of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus.

Multi-storey precast concrete skeletal structures are assembled from individual prefabricated components which are erected on-site using various types of connections. In the current design of these structures, beam-to-column connections are assumed to be pin jointed. Welded plate beam to-column connections have been used in the precast concrete industry for many years. They have many advantages over other jointing methods in component production, quality control, transportation and assembly. However, there is at present limited information concerning their detailed structural behaviour under bending and shear loadings. The experimental work has involved the determination of moment-rotation relationships for semi-rigid precast concrete connections in full scale connection tests. The study reported in this paper was undertaken to clarify the behaviour of such connections under symmetrical vertical loadings. A series of full-scale tests was performed on sample column for which the column geometry and weld arrangements conformed with successful commercial practice. Proprietary hollow core slabs were tied to the beams by tensile reinforcing bars, which also provide the in-plane continuity across the connections. The strength of the connections in the double sided tests was at least 0.84 times the predicted moment of resistance of the composite beam and slab. The secant stiffness of the connections ranged from 0.7 to 3.9 times the flexural stiffness of the attached beam. When the connections were tested without the floor slabs and tie steel, the reduced strength and stiffness were approximately a third and half respectively. This remarkable contribution of the floor strength and stiffness to the flexural capacity of the joint is currently neglected in the design process for precast concrete frames. In general, the double sided connections were found to be more suited to a semi-rigid design approach than the single sided ones. The behaviour of double sided welded plate connection test results are presented in this paper. The behaviour of single sided welded plate connection test results is the subject of another paper.

Transport distraction osteogenesis has been introduced recently to correct skeletal malformations and discrepancies in the maxillofacial area. To reconstruct 3-dimensitonal mandibular shape, this transport distraction can be considered with the use of reconstruction plate. A 23-years-old male having unilateral mandibular body and angle defects, who had been operated of partial mandibular resection due to unicystic ameloblastoma, was treated by transport distraction procedures with ThreadLock transport $distractor^{(R)}$ (KLS Martin Co., Germany) through the rail of reconstruction plate (Osteomed Co., USA). After being distracted 35 mm defect from mandibular angle to body, and consolidated for 16 weeks, allogenic bone graft on docking site was performed with removal of transgingival pin. For more than 13 weeks follow up period after consolidation period, gradual increase of radiopacity in the radiographic examination was shown, and the curved mandibular continuity according to the reconstruction plate was made firmly. These transport distraction osteogenesis in the mandible was able to be considered as the good and minimally invasive technique for the reconstruction of mandibular discontinuity. Young patient was also very satisfactory for these results.

The treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion in adolescents is challenging. Maxillary protraction, particularly that using bone anchorage, has been proven to be an effective method for the stimulation of maxillary growth. However, the conventional procedure, which involves the surgical implantation of mini-plates, is traumatic and associated with a high risk. Three-dimensional (3D) digital technology offers the possibility of individualized treatment. Customized mini-plates can be designed according to the shape of the maxillary surface and the positions of the roots on cone-beam computed tomography scans; this reduces both the surgical risk and patient trauma. Here we report a case involving a 12-year-old adolescent girl with skeletal Class III malocclusion and midface deficiency that was treated in two phases. In phase 1, rapid maxillary expansion and protraction were performed using 3D-printed mini-plates for anchorage. The mini-plates exhibited better adaptation to the bone contour, and titanium screw implantation was safer because of the customized design. The orthopedic force applied to each mini-plate was approximately 400-500 g, and the plates remained stable during the maxillary protraction process, which exhibited efficacious orthopedic effects and significantly improved the facial profile and esthetics. In phase 2, fixed appliances were used for alignment and leveling of the maxillary and mandibular dentitions. The complete two-phase treatment lasted for 24 months. After 48 months of retention, the treatment outcomes remained stable.

상악 대구치의 원심이동이 요구되는 경우, 구외견인, Wilson distalizing arches, 가철식 스프링 장치 그리고 Schwarz plate-type 장치 등을 사용 할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 전통적인 대구치의 원심이동 장치들로 치료에 성공하기 위해서는 환자의 협조가 필수적이기 때문에 많은 소아치과 의사들은 환자 의존성을 최소화하고 임상가가 통제 할 수 있는 장치들로 전환하고 있다. 이 중 가장 일반적인 것이 pendulum 장치인데, 고정원이 되는 전방치아의 원하지 않는 이동과 고정원 소실, 그리고 구개부 고정원이 좋지 않은 경우 원하는 정도의 구치부 원심이동을 얻기 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 이와 같은 전통적인 pendulum의 단점을 해결하고자, SAS(Skeletal Anchorage System)를 pendulum에 접목하여 골에서 직접 지지를 얻는 변형된 형태의 pendulum, 즉 bone-supported pendulum을 제작하여 장착 시킨 후 주기적인 관찰을 시행하였다. 본 증례는 혼합치열기 환자를 대상으로 bone-supported pendulum을 사용하여 안정된 고정원 유지, 원치 않는 치아이동의 최소화 및 양호한 상악 대구치 원심이동 등을 관찰하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

III급 부정교합은 유치열기나 혼합치열기에 이미 그 증상을 예측할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 많은 경우 그 증상의 악화를 예방할 수도 있다. III급 부정교합의 원인으로는 단순한 상하악 치아의 위치 이상에 의한 치아 치조성 혹은 기능성 III급 부정교합과 상악골과 하악골의 비정상적 성장발육에 의한 골격성 III급 부정교합으로 나누어 볼 수 있다. 특히 초기의 기능적 III급 부정교합 환자의 경우 방치되면 다양한 환경적 유전적 요소와 함께 골격성 부정교합으로 전이될 수 있고 많은 경우 악골의 비대칭적 성장에 원인이 될 수도 있다. 따라서 이러한 부정교합의 일차적 조기치료는 소아치과 치료영역에서 중요한 관심 분야라 할 수 있다. Inverted labial bow appliance는 통상적인 active plate의 장점과 activator와 같은 양악장치의 장점을 동시에 수용할 수 있는 장치로 상악치아의 개별적인 치아이동이 용이하고 동시에 기능적으로 전방 변위된 하악을 쉽게 정상위치 시킬 수 있는 장치이다. 특히 구호흡 등의 기질적 원인을 가지는 환자나 복잡한 양악장치를 착용하는데 어려움이 있는 협조도가 부족한 환자의 경우 효과적으로 사용할 수 있다. 이러한 장치를 이용하기 위해서는 골격성 III급 부정교합과의 정확한 감별진단이 선행되야 함은 물론이다. 본 증례는 기능성 III급 부정교합으로 진단된 7세 여아에서 Inverted labial bow appliance를 이용하여 전치부 반대교합을 해소한 경우로 치료결과는 상하악 전치부의 치아 치조성 이동에 의해 주로 이루어졌다.

외부형태를 근거로 구분되어 온 잉어과(科)(Cyprinidae)의 모래무지아과(亞科)(Gobioninae)어류는 아과(亞科)의 한계가 학자 간에 일치되지 않아 분류학적으로 문제된다. 본 연구는 이의 규명을 위해 한국산 모래무지아과(亞科) 어류(魚類) 14속(屬)에 대해 두골의 형질을 재검토하던 중 미설골(urohyal)의 형질이 뚜렷한 형질전이 상태를 보여 주목되었다. 한국산 모래무지아과(亞科) 어류는 미설골의 형질상태에 의해 다음과 같은 4개의 group으로 구분되었다. 1. Coreo leuciscus, Gnathopogon group ; 수평판의 형태는 후연이 쐐기모양으로 패인 원추형이고, 그 길이는 수직판보다 길다. 2. Squalidus, Hemibarbus group ; 수평판의 형태는 뒤로 갈수록 넓어지며 후연은 뾰죽하게 뻗은 긴 마름모꼴로, 그 길이는 수직판과 거의 같다. 3. Sarcocheilichthys, Pseudorasbora, Pseudopungtungia, Pungtungia group ; 수평판의 형태는 중앙부분이 매우 넓은 마름모꼴로, 그 길이는 수직판 보다 길고, 인대가 부착되는 선단은 2분지 되지 않으며, 중앙부분이 복면을 향해 굽어 있다. 4. Ladislavia, Gobiobotia, Abbottina, Hicrophysogobio, Pseudogobio, Saurogobio group ; 수평판의 형태는 뒤로 갈수록 가늘어지는 침상 혹은 넓은 쐐기모양으로, 그 길이는 수직판보다 짧고, 선단의 인대가 부착되는 부위는 배면으로 비후되었다. 이러한 결과는 adductor mandibulae complex와 geniohyoideus 등의 근육형질이나 두부 측선감각관 등의 형질에 의한 결과와도 일치되는 것으로 주목된다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dental and skeletal effects of the modified C-palatal plate (MCPP) for total arch distalization in adult patients with Class II malocclusion and compare the findings with those of cervical pull headgear. Methods: The study sample consisted of the lateral cephalograms of 44 adult patients with Class II Division 1 malocclusion, including 22 who received treatment with MCPP (age, $24.7{\pm}7.7years$) and 22 who received treatment with cervical pull headgear (age, $23.0{\pm}7.7years$). Pre- (T1) and post-treatment (T2) cephalograms were analyzed for 24 linear and angular measurements. Multivariate analysis of variance was performed to evaluate the changes after treatment in each group and differences in treatment effects between the two groups. Results: The mean amount of distalization at the crown and root levels of the maxillary first molar and the amount of distal tipping was 4.2 mm, 3.5 mm, and $3.9^{\circ}$ in the MCPP group, and 2.3 mm, 0.6 mm, and $8.6^{\circ}$ in the headgear group, respectively. In addition, intrusion by 2.5 mm was observed in the MCPP group. In both groups, the distal movement of the upper lip and the increase in the nasolabial angle were statistically significant (p < 0.001). However, none of the skeletal and soft tissue variables exhibited significant differences between the two groups. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that MCPP is an effective treatment modality for total arch distalization in adults.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the skeletal, dental, and soft-tissue treatment effects of nonextraction therapy using the modified C-palatal plate (MCPP) to those of premolar extraction (PE) treatment in adult patients with Class II malocclusion. Methods: Pretreatment and posttreatment lateral cephalographs of 40 adult patients with Class II malocclusion were retrospectively analyzed. The MCPP group comprised 20 patients treated with total arch distalization of the maxillary arch while the PE group comprised 20 patients treated with four PE. Fifty-eight linear and angular measurements were analyzed to assess the changes before and after treatment. Descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and multivariate analysis of variance were performed to evaluate the treatment effects within and between the two groups. Results: The MCPP group presented 3.4 mm of retraction, 1.0 mm of extrusion, and $7.3^{\circ}$ lingual inclination of the maxillary central incisor. In comparison, the PE group displayed greater amount of maxillary central incisor retraction and retroclination, mandibular incisor retraction, and upper lip retraction (5.3 mm, $14.8^{\circ}$, 5.1 mm, and 2.0 mm, respectively; p < 0.001 for all). In addition, the MCPP group showed 4.0 mm of distalization and 1.3 mm of intrusion with $2.9^{\circ}$ distal tipping of the maxillary first molars. Conclusions: These findings suggest the MCPP is an effective distalization appliance in the maxillary arch. The amount of incisor retraction, however, was significantly higher in the PE group. Therefore, four PE may be recommended when greater improvement of incisor position and soft-tissue profile is required.
