Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find whether there is a correlation between tooth size and jaw size. Dental stone models and cephalometric radiographic films of 87 untreated individuals were evaluated. Repeated measurements of the maximum mesiodistal width of the teeth were taken by means of a digital vernier caliper. Linear measurements of jaw size were assessed by means of a digitizer and Visual C++ program. All measurements were taken separately according to the subject's gender. To determine the relationship between jaw and tooth size, the Pearson correlation was used. The results were as follows: 1. Male and female subjects showed a statistical difference in regard to tooth size and jaw size 2. In contrast to the results of the male subjects, there were no statistically significant correlations between maxillary size and maxillary teeth size in female subjects 3. In male subjects, the two maxillary sizes of PTM vert-ANS vert (FH plane) and PTM vert-A yen (palatal plane) were significantly correlated with themaxillary teeth size. Especially, the size of the upper central incisor showed significant correlation with all maxillary sizes. 4. In both male and female subjects, mandibular size B vert- Point J vert (mandibular plane) showed significant correlation with mandibular teeth size. As gleaned kom the results of this study, the relationship between jaw size and tooth size was fair or little in natural occurring good occlusion.

본 연구는 치아크기와 악골크기의 상관관계를 살펴보고자 교정치료경험이 없고 교합이 양호한 87명 (남자49명, 여자38명)의 치아경석고모형과 두부방사선사진을 평가하였다. 치아크기는 치아의 근원심 최대폭경을 디지털 버니어 캘리퍼스를 이용하여 반복 측정하였고 악골의 크기는 기존의 여러 두부방사선계측법에서 이용된 악골의 선계측치를 반복 측정하였다. 치아와 악골크기 모두 성별에 따라 다르게 측정하였다. 치아크기와 악골크기 사이의 상관관계를 알아보기 위해 피어슨 상관관계분석을 실시하였다. 결과는 다음과 같다. 1.성별에 따라 두 군으로 나뒀을 경우 악골크기와 치아크기가 두 군에서 유의성 있게 다르게 나타났다. 2.남자군에서는 상악골과 상악치아 크기는 유의한 상관관계를 보이지만 여자군에서는 상악골과 상악치아 크기는 거의 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 3. 남자군에서는 상악골의 크기를 나타내는 PTM vert-ANS vert (FH plane)과 PTM vert-A vert (palatal plane)는 모든 상악치아와 유의성 있는 상관관계를 보였으며 상악중절치는 상악골에 관계된 모든 계측치들과 유의성 있는 상관관계를 보였다. 4. 남여 모두에서 하악골의 크기를 나타내는 B vert- Point J vert (mandibular plane)는 하악치아와 유의성 있는 상관관계를 보였다. 위의 결과에서 자연적으로 나타나는 정상교합에서 치아와 악골크기는 상관관계가 낮거나 거의 없음을 알 수 있다.
