이 교수의 연구실은 성인 환자를 대상으로 한 비수술성 치열교정 기법, 특히 MARPE(Minimally Invasive Alveolar Ridge Palatal Expansion)를 중심으로 한 치과교정 치료의 안정성과 효과를 연구하고 있습니다. 특히, 임플란트 기반의 임시 임플랜트(마이크로스crew)를 활용한 뼈 및 치아의 안정적 이동을 통해 수술을 피한 골성 불균형 교정의 가능성을 확장하고 있으며, 뼈 재흡수와 형성의 분자생물학적 메커니즘에 대해서도 깊이 있는 연구를 수행하고 있습니다.

Nonsurgical MARME can be a clinically acceptable and stable treatment modality for young adults with a transverse maxillary deficiency.
Midpalatal suture separation was observed in 90% and 95% of patients in the RPE and MARPE groups, respectively. Both RPE and MARPE groups exhibited significant triangular basal bone expansion and skeletal relapse during consolidation. Under identical amounts of expansion, the MARPE group showed lower decrease in the skeletal, dentoalveolar and periodontal variables after consolidation. The reinforcement of RPE with miniscrews contributes to the maintenance of the basal bone during consolidation
Previously, in the case of malocclusion owing to skeletal discrepancy in adults, the amount of tooth movement was limited since there was no reliable skeletal anchorage device. The only way to treat this case was by repositioning the maxilla and mandible via orthognathic surgery, but most patients are reluctant to undergo surgery owing to the risk and expenses incurred. However, with the current introduction and use of miniscrews as temporary anchorage devices, the entire dental arch can be relo
Local RANKL injection leads to increased osteoclastic activity and facilitates tooth movement, followed by subsequent alveolar bone formation; this implies a reversible transitional acceleration of bone resorption.
