Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the typical shape of the curve of Spee in Korean and analyze the curve of Spee according to gender, age, and left and right. Materials and Methods: Among the patient of Wonkwang University Sanbon Dental Hospital taking cone beam computerized tomography, the images of 500 Koreans (311 males and 189 females) who qualifies the criteria of this study were selected and their curve of Spee were analysed in sagittal plane. Results: The mean radius of curve of Spee in Korean was 91.4 mm. There was statistically significant difference between male (94.6 mm) and female (86.1 mm) by gender, but not significant differences by age and between right and left side. Conclusion: Within the limitation of this study, the smaller radius (91.4 mm) of Korean than the 4-inch (101.6 mm) value advocated by Monson was meaned that it would be need to reconsider the application of the curve of Spee in all cases when occlusal plane is reconstructed in Korean.
