Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship of dental crowding to tooth size and arch dimension in Korean subjects. Two groups of dental casts with Class I molar relationship, were selected on the basis of crowding. One group, consisting of 82 pairs of study cast (29 males and 53 females), exhibited at least 7 millimeters of crowding in each arch. A second group, consisting of 82 sets of study cast (37 males and 45 females), exhibited normal occlusion with little or no crowding. Mesiodistal tooth diameters, and buccal and lingual dental arch widths were measured and compared between the crowding and normal occlusion groups. Significant differences were observed between the two groups not only in arch widths but also in tooth sizes. The results of the present study suggest that both extraction and expansion can be used as a treatment approach for the crowding cases.

본 연구는 치아밀집이 과도한 치아크기에 의해 나타나는지 아니면 좁은 치열궁으로 인해 초래되는지 그 원인을 규명하기 위하여 시행되었다. 앵글씨 1급 구치관계를 가지면서 상악 하악 모두 7mm이상의 치아밀집을 나타내는 경우와 정상교합자를 각각 실험군과 대조군으로 설정하였다. 82조(남29, 여53)의 치아밀집 석고모형과 82조(남37, 여45)의 정상교합 석고모형에서 각 치아의 치관 근원심폭경과 협측 및 설측 치열궁 폭경을 측정하고 치아밀집군과 정상교합군 간에 비교한 결과 치관근원심폭경과 치열궁 폭경 모두에서 두 군간의 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 치아밀집의 기여요인을 살펴본 본 연구 결과 치아밀집은 치열궁과 치아크기, 모두에 의해 초래됨으로 치열궁 확장 및 치아발치, 모두가 치료방법으로 사용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다
