Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the skeletal and dentoalveolar effects and optimal timing for treatment of class II malocclusion with functional appliances in children and adolescents. A group of 30 patients with class II malocclusion were divided into 3 groups according to their use of functional appliance: Twin block, Activator, Fränkel appliance. The group was also divided into 2 groups according to the cervical vertebrae maturation method. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were analyzed pretreatment (T0) and posttreatment (T1). Among the functional appliances, treatment with Twin block and Activator showed significant increase in the length of the mandible (Co-Gn) and the lower anterior facial height (ANS to Me), whereas the overjet and overbite were significantly reduced. Treatment with Fränkel appliance showed significant improvement in the relationship of maxilla and mandible. In addition, if the functional appliance was used during the period of pubertal growth peak, there was a significant increase in mandibular length, improvement in the relationship of maxilla and mandible, labial inclination of lower incisors and decrease in overjet compared to the treatment before pubertal growth peak. Therefore, this study indicates that using functional appliances for patients with class II malocclusion is effective and the optimal timing for using functional appliances is during pubertal growth peak.

이 연구의 목적은 소아청소년에서의 2급 부정교합 치료에 사용되는 기능성 악교정 장치의 효과 및 치료 시기에 따른 효과를 평가하고자 하였다. 경희대학교 소아치과에 내원한 2급 부정교합환자 30명을 대상으로 하였으며 치료에 사용된 기능성 악교정 장치에 따라 군을 나누었다. 치료 시기에 따른 비교를 위하여 경추골 성숙도 방법을 이용하여 2개의 군으로 나누어졌다. 각 실험군은 치료 전(T0)과 치료 후(T1)의 측모두부방사선사진을 비교 분석하였다. 기능성 악교정 장치 중, Twin block과 Activator는 하악골의 길이(Co-Gn)와 하안모의 길이(ANS to Me)의 유의한 증가를 보였으며, overjet과 overbite의 유의한 감소를 보였다. 반면 Fränkel appliance를 이용한 환자에서는 상하악 간의 관계 및 overjet의 유의한 개선을 보였다. 최대성장기에 기능성 악교정 장치를 사용하였을 때 최대성장기 전에 사용한 것에 비하여 유의한 하악 길이의 증가, 상악과 하악간의 관계 개선, overjet의 감소, 하악 중절치의 순측 경사의 증가를 보였다. 이 연구를 통하여 2급 부정교합을 가진 소아청소년에서 기능성 악교정 장치의 효과를 검증하였으며, 최대성장기에 치료를 시행하는 것이 더 효과적인 것을 확인하였다.
