Abstract

Objective: CBCT has become popular for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning in recent times. The 3D pharyngeal airway space needs to be analysed using a 3D diagnostic tool. The aim of this study was to analyse the pharyngeal airway of different craniofacial morphology using CBCT. Methods: The sample compromised 102 subjects divided into 3 groups (Class I, II, III) and 6 subgroups according to normal or vertical craniofacial patterns. All samples had CBCT (VCT, Vatech, Seoul, Korea) taken for orthodontic treatment. The pharyngeal airway was assessed according to the reference planes: aa plane (the most anterior point on the anterior arch of atlas), $CV_2$ plane, and $CV_3$ plane (most infero-anterior point on the body of the second & third cervical vertebra). The intergroup comparison was performed with one-way ANOVA and duncan test as a second step. Results: The results showed the pharyngeal airway and anteroposterior width of group 2 (Class II) in aa plane, $CV_2$ plane, $CV_3$ plane were significant narrower than in group 3 (Class III). There was no significant difference between vertical and normal craniofacial patterns except for the anteroposterior pharyngeal width of Group 1 (Class I) in aa plane. Conclusions: Subjects with Class II patterns have a significantly narrower pharyngeal airway than those with Class III. However there was no difference in pharyngeal airway between vertical and normal craniofacial morphology.

상기도 공간은 3차원 입체 구조물로서 두부규격방사선사진 등으로 분석하기에는 평가의 한계가 존재하였다. 본 연구는 최근 방사선 피폭량 등의 감소로 그 활용도가 높아진 cone beam CT (CBCT)를 이용하여 안면골격형태에 따른 상기도 공간의 면적, 전후방 폭경 및 측방 폭경을 측정하고 그 관련성을 알아보았다. 102명을 대상으로 CBCT (VCT, Vatech, Seoul, Korea)를 촬영하였으며, FH plane에 평행하면서 aa point (the most anterior point on the anterior arch of atlas), $CV_{2ia}$, $CV_{3ia}$ point (most infero-anterior point on the body of the second & third cervical vertebra)를 지나는 평면을 기준으로 설정하였다. 각 항목의 계측치는 one-way ANOVA를 이용하여 통계처리하고 Duncan test로 사후검정하였다. 연구 결과, 안면 골격형태에 따른 측방 폭경에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. Group 2 (Class II) 집단은 aa plane, $CV_2$ plane, $CV_3$ plane에 의해 형성된 상기도 공간의 단면적이 좁았으며, 전후방 폭경도 Group 3 (Class III)에 비해 유의성 있게 좁았다. 수직 안면골격형태와 정상 안면골격 형태간의 유의성 있는 차이는 없었으나, aa plane에서 형성된 상기도 공간의 전후방 폭경은 Group 1V (Class I vertical)가 Group 1N (Class I normal)에 비해 유의성 있게 좁은 것으로 나타났다 (p < 0.05).
