CLINICAL ANALYSIS OF GONIAL ANGLE CHANGE AFTER ORTHOGNATHIC SUGERY IN PATIENTS WITH THE MANDIBULAR PROGNATHISM

하악전돌증환자의 악교정수술후 하악각변화에 관한 임상적 분석

Predictional study for lateral change between pre- and post-orthognathic surgery has been emphasized mainly on anterior area of lateral profile; upper lip, lower lip and chin et al. So interest for lateral profile change has been less in posterior area of lateral profile and literature analyzing gonial angle change is rare. The purpose of this study is to make prediction for gonial angle change possible and to offer somewhat treatment guidance for gonial angle to be improved by investigating overall gonial angle change between pre- and post-orthognathic surgery and inquiring into factors influencing on pattern of genial angle change. For this study 35 patients were selected retrospectively. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken in just pre-op time, pod 1 day, pod 1 year. They were analyzed and genial angles were measured. The results were as follows : 1. Gonial angle at pod 1 day was decreased about $9.3^{\circ}$ than pre-op and gonial angle at pod 1 year was increased about $4.0^{\circ}$ than pod 1 day. So genial angle at pod 1 year was decreased about $5.3^{\circ}$ than pre-op genial angle(p<0.01). 2. Mean pre-op gonial angle was $129.4^{\circ}$, showing significantly high value than normal and mean gonial angle at pod 1 year was $124.1^{\circ}$, showing value near to normal. 3. Mean gonial angle change between pre-op and pod 1 year was decreased about $5.4^{\circ}$ in female and $5.3^{\circ}$ in male. There was no statistically significant difference between male and female(p>0.05). 4. Principal factor influencing on decreased gonial angle in gonial angle change between pre-op and pod 1 year was amount of mandibular setback. 5. Principal factor influencing on increased gonial angle in gonial angle change between pod 1 day and pod 1 year was % horizontal relapse, and it was thought that resorption and bone remodelling on posterior area in mandibular distal segment also were related to increased gonial angle. 6. It is thought that sagittal split ramus osteotomy in mandibular prognathic patients with high value of gonial angle is effective to improvement of gonial angle, and In patients who have normal range of gonial angle and are required with excessive mandibular setback, short lingual cut method, additional resection of posterior margin of distal segment, Obwegeser II method will be considerd. 7. More prudent operation and careful post-op management will be responsible for maintenance of postoperative stable gonial angle.

저자는 1996년 1월에서 1998년 10월까지 본원에서 하악지시상분할골절단술을 시행한 하악전돌증환자중 35명(남자15명, 여자 20명)을 무작위로 선정하여 수술전, 수술직후 및 술후 1년의 하악각변화를 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 35명 환자의 하악각평균은 술직후에는 술전에 비해 $9.3^{\circ}$ 감소하였다가 술후 1년까지 $4.0^{\circ}$증가하여 술전에 비해 술후 1년의 하악각은 $5.3^{\circ}$감소하였다(p<0.01). 2. 35명 환자의 악교정수술전 하악각평균은 $129.4^{\circ}({\pm}6.27)$로 정상에 비해 유의있게 큰 값을 보였으며 하악지시상분할골절단술 후 1년의 하악각평균은 $124.1^{\circ}({\pm}6.33)$로 비교적 개선되었다. 3. 술전과 술후 1년 사이의 남녀의 하악각변화는 여자는 $5.4^{\circ}$감소, 남자는 $5.3^{\circ}$감소로서 남녀간에 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 4. 35명의 하악지시상분할골절단술을 받은 환자의 술전과 술후 1년 사이의 하악각변화에서 하악각감소에 관여하는 가장 주요한 변수는 하악후퇴량이었다. 5. 35명의 하악지시상분할골절단술을 받은 환자의 술직후부터 술후 1년까지의 하악각변화에서 하악각증가에 관여하는 가장 주요한 요인은 수평회귀율이었으며 원심골편후방부의 흡수현상도 하악각증가에 관여하는 것으로 생각되었다. 결론적으로 하악전돌증 환자에 있어 하악각이 정상보다 큰 경우 하악지시상분할골절단술은 하악각개선에 효과적이었으며 하악각이 정상에 가깝고 과도한 하악후퇴량이 요구되는 경우는 Short lingual cut 방법, 부가적인 원심골편의 후방변연절제술, Obwegeser II 방법과 같은 하악우각부 형태를 유지하는 수술법을 선택함이 유리할 것으로 예상되고 술후 회귀방지책이 안정된 하악각유지에도 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.
