Skeletal class III had been classified by the position of the maxilla, the mandible, the maxillary alveolus, the mandibular alveolus and vertical development. This morphologic approach is simple and useful for clinical use, but it is insufficient to permit understanding of the pathophysiology of dysmorphoses. The author hypothesizes that there are different patterns of mutual relation of the skeletal components which have contributed pathologic equilibrium of skeletal class III. The purpose of this study are threefold: 1) to classify skeletal class III in subgroups, which can show the architectural characteristics of the deformity, 2) to analyse the craniofacial architecture of each subgroup on etio-pathogenic basis, and 3) to characterize and visualize the pattern as a prototype. Materials used in this study were lateral cephalograms of 106 skeletal class III adults, which were analysed with modified Delaire's architectural and structural analysis. Linear and angular measurements of the individual subject were obtained and cluster analysis was used for the subgrouping. Data were evaluated for verification of the statistical significances. The following results were obtained. 1. By the modified Delaire's architectural and structural analysis and cluster analysis, skeletal class III adults were classified into 7 clusters and presented as prototypes, which could show the pathophysiology of the skeletal architecture 2. There was significant relationship in measurement variables of each cluster, which could reflect characteristics of the skeletal pattern of growth. 3. The flexure of cranial base had a close relationship to the anterior rotational growth of the maxilla and contributes to understand the etio-pathology of skeletal class III. 4. The proportion of craniospinal area in cranial depth, craniocervical angle and vertical position of point Om had a close relationship to rotational growth of the mandible and direction of condylar growth. They contribute to understand the etio-pathology of skeletal class III. In summary, the cranium and the craniocervical area must be considered in diagnosis and treatment planning of dentofacial deformity. And the occlusal plane can be considered as a representative which shows the mutual relationships of the skeletal components.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the postoperative skeletal stability of two-jaw surgery (Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy) via surgery first orthodontic treatment (SFOT) in class III malocclusion. Methods: Thirty-two patients who had two-jaw surgery via SFOT were included in this study. Serial lateral cephalograms were obtained before (T0), immediately after (T1), and six months after (T2) surgery. Twelve variables were measured for horizontal and vertical skeletal stability as well as for dental change. All measurements were evaluated statistically by a paired t-test ($P$ <0.05). Results: The mean skeletal changes were $0.1{\pm}2.5$ mm at point A and $-12.0{\pm}7.4$ mm at the pogonion. The mean horizontal relapse was 11.6% at the pogonion, and the mean vertical surgical changes included an upward displacement of $2.1{\pm}7.1$ mm and a forward displacement of $1.4{\pm}4.6$ mm at the pogonion. Upper incisor inclination decreased after surgery and was maintained at T2, and lower incisors were proclined from T1 to T2 by postsurgical orthodontic treatment. Conclusion: Postoperative skeletal stability of two-jaw surgery via surgery first orthodontic treatment in class III malocclusion was clinically acceptable.

Purpose: The aim of this study is the changes of upper respiratory airway space in patients with mandibular prognathism after 2-jaw orthognathic surgery in patients with skeletal classs III malocclusion. Method: We measured the lines between selected upper airway landmarks on lateral cephalometric x-ray films of skeletal class III 64 persons who had not been operated yet, were 6 months after operation. The test subjects were divided into 3 groups according to maxillary movement, as follows; maxillary advancement (MA) group, maxillary posterior impaction (MPI) group, maxillary posterior impaction and superior repositioning (MPI+MSR) group. Result: In this study, nasopharyngeal airway space in MPI+MSR group was significantly increased after operation (p<0.05). Oropharygeal and hypopharyngeal airway space in MA group and MPI group were significantly decreased after operation (p<0.05). From hyoid bone to anterior mandible point distance in MA group and MPI group were significantly decreased after operation (p<0.05). Conclusion: Oropharygeal and hypopharyngeal airway space were influenced more by mandibular set-back than maxillary movement. Maxillary movement surgery as well as mandibular setback surgery should be taken into consideration in order to minimize symptoms related to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome after operation.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of maxillary occlusal plane angle to postoperative skeletal stability by comparative analysis after two-jaw surgery of patients with skeletal CIII malocclusion. This study was made with lateral cephalometric radiography of 52 patients with skeletal class III malocclusion that were performed to Le Fort I osteotomy and BSSRO. And 52 patients were divided to Group A(n=30) and B(n=22). Maxillary posterior impaction was not conducted in Group A, which the pre-operative maxillary occlusal plane angle was in a normal range, and for Group B, which the pre-operative maxillary occlusal plane was low, the maxillary posterior impaction was conducted. The results were obtained as follows : 1. The relapse rate of Group A, which the pre-operative maxillary occlusal plane angle was in a normal range, was relatively stable compared to Group B, which the pre-operative maxillary occlusal plane was low. 2. The relapse rate of each measurement of Group B, which had the maxillary occlusal plane altered during the operation, was somewhat high, and of those, the post-operative relapse rate of overjet, overbite, mandibular plane angle appeared to be significantly high in the statistics. The analyzed results above, was thought to be indicating that the pre-operative maxillary occlusal plane angle was closely related to the post-operative skeletal stability, and that obtaining post-operative skeletal stability only through operative normalization of occlusal plane angle may meet limitations.

Purpose : The lateral cephalometric Korean norms of the skeletal and pharyngeal dimension were analyzed for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS). Materials and Methods : The lateral cephalometric radiographies were taken in male(n=53) and female(n=50), who had a normal profile, class I occlusion, normal ANB $(0{\sim}4^{\circ})$ and normal Wits $Appraisal(-4{\sim}0mm)$. The X-rays were traced by two oral and maxillofacial surgeons twice. The significant differences between male-female and examiners were tested. Results : The angle of mandibular line to Nasion-Sella line was $31.12^{\circ}/33.79^{\circ}$ (in male/in female, p=0.0018). The lower Gonion angle was $73.74^{\circ}/73.74^{\circ}(p=0.9978)$. The length of the soft palate was 36.93mm/34.35mm(p=0.0002). The pharyngeal airway space was 13.42mm/11.55mm at mandibular plane level(PAS(ML))(p=0.0025). The hyoid was placed inferiorly to mandibular plane 10.18mm/7.72mm(p=0.0051). The results from this study are to be used for the diagnosis of OSAS.
