초록
성장기 3급 부정 교합인 남아 20명의 두부계측방사선 사진을 Harvold 분석법을 중심으로 하여 정상 대조군과 비교하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 상하악간 상대적인 길이 차를 나타내는 악간 길이 차는 3급 부정교합자군에서 유의하게 더 크게 나타났다(p<0.05). 전하안면 고경은 3급 부정교합군에서 정상교합군보다 더 크게 나타났으나, 통계적으로 유의한 차는 없었다.
Background: When we make treatment plan of class III malocclusion children, it is difficult to determine whether we treat it with orthognathic surgery or without orthognathic surgery. To determine that, we must consider many factors, such as cephalometric analysis, growth pattern, family history, and skeletal age. A Harvold cephalometric analysis is useful in determining the amount of discrepancy by comparing the maxillary unit length with mandibular, unit length. We tried this study to help the decision of treatment planning in class ill malocclusion children by comparison in class III malocclusion and normal occlusion children using a Harvold analysis. Materials and Methods: The materials for this study consisted of 20 class III malocclusion children. Cephalometric tracing and measurements were performed by one investigator. The control group consisted of 18 normal occlusion children and lateral cephalograms were obtained from 8.5 to 14.5 years old children biannually. The relationships between class III malocclusion group and normal occlusion group were evaluated statistically. Results: The lower anterior facial heights between two groups were not significantly different, although the lower anterior facial heights of class III malocclusion group was higher than those of normal occlusion group in all age groups. The Maxillary-mandibular unit length differences of class III malocclusion group were significantly higher than those of normal occlusion group(p<0.05). Conclusion: A Harvold analysis was useful to make treatment planning for class III malocclusion children.
