Abstract
Q1. In this study, the amount of tooth movement was evaluated at 4 weeks after orthodontic force application. The tooth moved 1.72 mm in the control group, and 2.27–2.52 mm in the intervention group. Considering that the tooth movement is typically 1 mm for a month, these amount of tooth movement is somewhat excessive. Evaluation of tooth movement needs to be accompanied by the change of tooth inclination. In particular, I was wondering whether the large amount of tooth movement in the experimental group was due to excessive tipping movement.
期刊介绍:
The Korean Journal of Orthodontics (KJO) is an international, open access, peer reviewed journal published in January, March, May, July, September, and November each year. It was first launched in 1970 and, as the official scientific publication of Korean Association of Orthodontists, KJO aims to publish high quality clinical and scientific original research papers in all areas related to orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. Specifically, its interest focuses on evidence-based investigations of contemporary diagnostic procedures and treatment techniques, expanding to significant clinical reports of diverse treatment approaches.
The scope of KJO covers all areas of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics including successful diagnostic procedures and treatment planning, growth and development of the face and its clinical implications, appliance designs, biomechanics, TMJ disorders and adult treatment. Specifically, its latest interest focuses on skeletal anchorage devices, orthodontic appliance and biomaterials, 3 dimensional imaging techniques utilized for dentofacial diagnosis and treatment planning, and orthognathic surgery to correct skeletal disharmony in association of orthodontic treatment.
