The purpose of this study was to assess the soft tissue changes using twenty skeletal class III malocclusion patients who treated with bimaxillary surgery for the correction of dentofacial deformities. Patients were divided into two groups. One was impaction and advancement of maxilla with mandibular set-back (Group 1), the other was downward and advancement of maxilla with mandibular set-back (Group 2). Preoperative and postoperative one year cephalometric data were analyzed and compared. Results obtained were as follows: 1. The ratio of horizontal changes of soft tissue to hard tissue at Nt to ANS, Ls to UI, Li to LI, sPog to Pog were 1:0.60, 1:0.79, 1:0.47, 1:0.63 in group 1 respectively, and 1:0.59, 1:0.48, 1:0.83, 1:1.09 in group 2 respectively. Soft tissue changes were highly predictable at the upper lip, lower lip, and chin area. 2. The ratio of vertical changes of soft tissue to hard tissue at Nt to ANS, Li to LI were 1:0.72, 1:0.06 in group 1, and others showed no statistically significant difference. 3. The ratio of horizontal changes of Ls to hard tissue movements at LI(h) was 1:-0.82 in group 1 and at UI(h), LI(h) were 1:0.48, 1:0.01 in group 2. These ratios of group 1 were greater than those of group 2. 4. The direction of horizontal change of Li was the same as that of hard tissue change. The ratio of horizontal changes of Li to LI was 1:0.47 in group 1 and others showed no statistically significant difference. 5. The changes of upper lip thickness and length were -1.6mm, -1.4mm in group 1, and -1mm, -2.7mm in group 2. 6. The ratios of thickness of upper lip to ANS, UI, LI were 1:-0.83, 1:-0.37, 1:0.11 in group 1. There was similar trend in group 2, and there were no statistically significant difference. These results suggest that prediction of changes in soft tissue of upper lip, lower lip, and chin were 79%, 47%, and 63% in group 1, and 48%, 83%, and 109% in group 2. There was a tendency to decrease in thickness and increase in length of the upper lip.

Purpose: This study evaluated retrospectively the postsurgical facial hard tissue profile of a Le Fort I osteotomy with/without posterior impaction and rigid internal fixation to correct mandibular prognathism. After observing a difference between the two groups, this measurement was used to prepare a treatment plan for 2-jaw surgery. Patients and Methods: Thirty patients who had undergone orthognathic surgery in Pusan National University Dental Hospital were enrolled in this study. Fifteen patients were treated using a Le Fort I osteotomy with posterior impaction and mandibular setback bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy, and the other fifteen patients were treated without posterior impaction. The preoperative (T0), immediate postoperative (T1) and six-month follow-up period (T2) cephalograms were taken and difference between T1-T0 and T2-T2 was analyzed. Results: Both groups was FH-ABp, SNB and ANB showed significant changes in the measurement, whereas only the posterior impaction group showed a change in the SN-U1, occlusal plane, posterior facial height, surgical movement difference from the L1 and B-point. There was no significant statistical change between the immediate postoperative (T1) and six-month follow-up (T2) hard tissue analysis in the two groups. Conclusion: A Le Fort I osteotomy with posterior impaction is considerable for patients with a flat occlusal plane angle, large posterior facial height, prominent B-point, pogonion and labioversed incisal inclination if the indications are well chosen.

연구 목적: 양악 총의치를 사용 중인 환자를 대상으로 하악에 4개의 작은 직경의 임플란트를 식립하여 implant supported overdenture로 전환 시 환자의 만족도 (저작, 유지, 발음, 심미, 사회적 문제, 심리적 문제)를 평가하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 60세 이상의 완전 무치악 환자 중 상하악 총의치를 장착한 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 수술 전에 진단 스텐트를 이용한 방사선 사진 (CT, panorama) 촬영을 시행하고 현재 사용하고 있는 의치에 대한 만족도에 대해 조사하였다. 그 후 하악 이공 전방부에 4개의 mini dental implant 식립 및 immediate loading 후 방사선 사진 촬영을 하였다. 식립 1달 후와 3달 후에 방사선 사진을 촬영하였으며 수술 전과 동일한 설문지를 통한 overdenture 사용 시 만족도 조사하였다. 결과: 현재 9명의 환자를 대상으로 시행하였다. 1. 총 36개의 임플란트를 식립하였으며 이중 1개의 임플란트가 실패하여 97.2%의 생존률을 보였다. 2. 임플란트 식립 전, 후 만족도 비교는 oral health impact profile 49를 이용한 설문 조사를 통해 이루어 졌다. 저작 시 불편감, 유지, 발음, 심미, 사회적 활동시 불편감, 심리적 불편감 등으로 비교 분석하였으며 5점 기준으로 불편감이 심할 수록 낮은 점수를 부여하였다. 그 결과 전반적으로 만족도가 상승하였다. 그 중 유지력 면에서 가장 크게 만족도가 상승하였으며 사회활동시 불편감, 심리적 불편감, 저작시 불편감, 심미, 발음 순으로 개선되었다. 결론: 이번 연구를 통하여 mini dental implant를 이용한 의치를 사용시 환자의 만족도가 높아진 것을 볼 수 있었다. 추 후 좀 더 많은 환자를 통해 장기간 연구를 할 예정이며 추가적인 방사선 사진을 촬영하여 임플란트 주위 골 소실 여부를 관찰할 예정이다.
