Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate morphologic differences in the mandibular arch between Egyptian and Korean subjects. Methods: The Egyptian sample consisted of 94 mandibular casts (35 Class I, 32 Class II and 27 Class III). The Korean sample consisted of 462 mandibular casts (114 Class I, 119 Class II, and 135 Class III). The most facial portion of 13 proximal contact areas was digitized from photocopied images of the mandibular dental arches. Clinical bracket points were calculated for each tooth. The subjects were grouped according to arch form to compare the frequency distribution of the 3 arch forms between the ethnic groups in each Angle classification. Results: Egyptians had significantly narrower intermolar and intercanine widths ($p$ < 0.001), and shallower intermolar and intercanine depths ($p$ < 0.001) than Koreans. There was an even frequency distribution of the 3 arch forms within the Egyptian group ($p$ = 0.46). However, in the Korean group, the most frequent arch form was the square arch form (46.7%), while the frequency of the tapered arch form was significantly lower (18.8%). Conclusions: These results might provide helpful information in evaluating morphologic differences between ethnic groups in selection of preformed superelastic archwires.

본 연구의 목적은 한국인과 이집트인의 Angle씨 I급, II급, III급 부정교합군에서 하악치열궁의 크기와 형태적 특성을 상호 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 한국인 부정교합자 368명(114 Class I, 119 Class II, and 135 Class III)과 이집트인 부정교합자 94명(35 Class I, 32 Class II and 27 Class III)을 대상으로 하였다. 치료 전 하악 치열 모형을 복사한 사진에서 13개의 인접한 접촉면에서 가장 협측에 위치한 점들을 좌표화한 후 하악 치아의 두께 자료에 근거하여 임상브라켓 점들을 설정하였고 4개의 선 계측과 2개의 비율을 측정하였다. 치열궁 형태를 tapered, ovoid, squared의 3가지로 분류하여 두 인종 간 분포 특성에 관하여 비교하였다. 이집트인은 한국인보다 대구치 간 폭경과 견치 간 폭경이 유의성 있게 좁았으며 ($p$ < 0.001), 대구치 간 장경과 견치 간 장경이 더 짧았다 ($p$ < 0.001). 이집트인에서는 3가지의 치열궁 형태가 동등한 비율로 나타났으나 ($p$ = 0.46), 한국인에서는 square arch form (46.7%)이 가장 빈번하게 나타났고, tapered arch form이 가장 적게 나타났다(18.8%). 본 연구의 결과는 기성품의 초탄성 호선을 선택할 때 인종 간의 차이에 대한 유익한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
