Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the right and left differences of frontal ramal inclination in chin-deviated individuals. Methods: Thirty adult patients with clinically apparent chin deviation were selected as the chin-deviated group, and 30 adult patients with symmetric faces were selected as the control group. On the posteroanterior cephalograms, the frontal ramal inclination was measured, and the right and left differences were compared and analyzed. Results: While the control group did not show right and left differences of frontal ramal inclinations, the chin-deviated individuals showed right and left differences of frontal ramal inclination. In chin-deviated individuals, the frontal ramal inclinations of the non-deviated side were statistically greater than those of the deviated side. The right and left differences of frontal ramal inclinations, with menton deviation and the right and left differences of maxillary heights showed statistically significant correlation. Conclusion: We conclude that the frontal ramal inclinations should be considered in the diagnosis of facial asymmetry.

본 연구는 이부편위자의 정모두부방사선사진에서 하악골상행지 경사도의 좌우 차이를 알아봄으로써 교정환자의 임상검사 시 비대칭 진단에 도움이 되고자 시행되었다. 뚜렷한 이부편위를 보이는 성인 30명을 이부편위군으로, 좌우 대칭적인 외모를 보이는 성인 30명을 대조군으로 선정하여 정모두부방사선사진을 촬영한 후 하악골상행지 경사도를 측정하고 좌우 차이를 산출, 비교 분석한 결과, 대조군의 경우 좌우 차이를 보이지 않은 반면 이부편위자에서는 하악골상행지 경사도의 좌우 차이를 보였다. 이부편위자에서 비편위측의 하악골상행지의 경사도는 편위측에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 하악골상행지 경사도의 좌우차이는 이부편위 정도 및 상악고경의 좌우차이와 통계적으로 유의한 순상관관계를 보였다. 이부편위자에서 하악골상행지 경사도의 좌우차이를 규명한 본 연구 결과는 안면비대칭 환자의 진단 시 하악골상행지 경사도에 대한 분석이 필요함을 시사하였다.
