Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the association of midpalatal suture (MPS) maturation stages with skeletal maturation and age and to obtain references for establishing a treatment plan for rapid maxillary expansion (RME). Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images from 480 children (240 boys, 240 girls) aged 7 - 15 years were obtained. MPS maturation stages and cervical vertebral maturation indicator (CVMI) were evaluated, and the correlations between MPS maturation stages, CVMI, and age were determined using the Spearman's correlation test. The positive likelihood ratio (LHR) of CVMI for MPS maturation stages was calculated. MPS maturation stages and CVMI showed a strong correlation. Especially, CVMI 1 - 3 showed positive LHR greater than 10 for the diagnosis of stages A - C. MPS maturation stages and age were correlated strongly in girls and moderately in boys. Conventional RME produces the most favorable skeletal effect at CVMI 1 - 3 or those up to 12 years of age and fewer skeletal effects at CVMI 4 or at 13 years of age in girls and 13 - 15 years in boys. It is recommended to evaluate MPS maturation stages using CBCT before RME application at CVMI 5, 6 or at 14, 15 years of age in girls.

본 연구는 7세부터 15세사이의 소아청소년을 대상으로 촬영하여 획득한 Cone beam computed tomography(CBCT) 영상을 이용하여 정중구개봉합의 성숙도를 평가하고 골 성숙도 및 연령과의 연관성을 분석하여 Rapid maxillary expansion(RME) 적용 시 적절한 치료계획 수립의 참고자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 남아 240명, 여아 240명, 총 480명의 CBCT 수평면 영상에서 정중구개봉합의 성숙도를 5단계로 평가하였고 수집된 자료를 경추골 성숙도 측정법에 의해 평가된 골 성숙도 및 연령에 따라 통계분석을 시행하였다. 정중구개봉합 성숙도와 골 성숙도는 0.602의 강한 상관관계를 보였으며, 특히 정중구개봉합 성숙도 A - C단계의 예측을 위한 경추골 성숙도 1 - 3단계의 양성 검정우도비는 44.79로서 예측을 위한 타당한 지표임을 나타내었다. 정중구개봉합 성숙도와 연령의 상관관계는 남아에서 0.499, 여아에서 0.560으로 나타나 경추골 성숙도 보다는 낮으나 비교적 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 따라서 경추골 성숙도 측정법은 정중구개봉합의 성숙도 예측을 위한 신뢰할 만한 지표라고 할 수 있으며, 연령은 경추골 성숙도 측정이 어려운 경우에 한하여 임상에서 간편하고 직관적인 지표로 쓰일 수 있다. 연구 결과를 종합해보면 RME 사용 시 골격성 효과를 충분히 얻을 수 있는 것으로 기대 할 수 있는 시기는 경추골 성숙도 1 - 3단계, 남녀 모두 연령 12세 이하이며 경추골 성숙도 4단계 혹은 여아 연령 13세 및 남아 연령 15세까지는 conventional RME의 사용은 가능하나 골격성 효과는 감소하고 치성 효과가 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 경추골 성숙도 5, 6단계 혹은 여아 연령 14세 이상에서는 RME 필요 시 사용 형태를 결정하기 위해 정중구개봉합 성숙 단계 평가 시 CBCT 촬영이 고려되어야 한다.
