 note = {P(論文), To improve emergency intermaxillary fixation release, a novel method of intermaxillary fixation, in which super-elastic nickel-titan (Ni-Ti) alloy wires were applied at 2 places (Method A) was developed. Method A was compared to the previous method (Method B : fixing the jaw at 3 places with stainless steel wires), in terms of the time required to remove the wires and the number of pieces of cut wire left in the oral cavity and pharynx. The average time for removing the wires was 14.5 ± 9.9 (mean ± SD) seconds for Method A, and 79.1 ± 53.1 seconds for Method B. The average time was significantly shorter in Method A than in Method B (p < 0.01). The number of pieces of cut wire left was zero with Method A. These findings suggest that the novel method (Method A) provides quick and safe wire removal and improves the safety and quality of dentistry in emergency cases.},
