This study was undertaken to compare each maximum biting force and to investigate its relationship with the facial skeketal form, number and position of tooth contact between anterior openbite and normal occlusion adults, using the T-scan system and the lateral cephalogram. The subjects of this study consisted of a group of 25 individuals with normal occlusion and another group of 14 with anterior openbite. The obtained results of this study were as follows : 1. The maximum biting force of anterior openbite adults was less than that of normal occlusion adults. 2. In anterior openbite adults, there were negative correlations between the maximum, biting force and SN/MP, FMA, PP/MP mesurement of lateral cephalogram. 3. In anterior openbite adults, as the mesial angulation of lower first molar against the occlusal plane increased, the more the biting force decreased. 4. In both groups, the greater the number of tooth contact, the more the biting force increased. 5. In both groups, the center of effort for anteroposterior occlusal contact was located on the first molar region.

우리는 매일 반복되는 진료행위를 통해서 개개의 치아와 그 주위조직에 대한 병적 이상을 발견하고 치료하는 일에는 익수해져 있으나, 두 개 혹은 그 이사의 일련의 치아들이 상하악의 대합치들과 어떠한 양상으로 조화를 이루며 교합기능을 유지해 나가고 그것들이 어떻게 보이지 않는 저작계의 통제에 의한 결과인가에 대해서는 거의 등한시 하고 있다. 다시 말해서 교합에 관여하는 기능적 요소와 임상적인 정상교합에 관한 이해, 그리고 이러한 개념을 임상적인 치료에 적용하는 일에 우리의 관심이 더욱 집중되어야 할 것이며, 이러한 연구를 통해서만 복잡하고 다양하게 나타나는 일련의 교합질환(Occlusal Disease)을 다룰 수 있으리라 생각된다. 교합의 임상적인 정의와 기본 개념, 그리고 정상적인 교합이 치주조직에 미치는 영향에 관하여 고찰해 보기로 한다.

This study was to evaluate and compare differences of the cervical vertebral skeletal maturity of normal occlusion and skeletal Class III malocclusion. Normal occlusion (172 girls) and skeletal Class III malocclusion(191 girls) were classified according to diagnosis stone model and lateral cephalogram of Korean girls aging from 8 to 12 years. The concavity of inferior border, vertico-horizontal ratio of cervical vertebrae were observed and measured according to age. Differences of the cervical vertebral skeletal maturity were evaluated. The results were as follows : 1. The concavity of inferior border of the 2nd to 6th vertebrae of normal occlusion and skeletal Class III had uniformly increased with age. 2. The vertico-horizontal ratio of the 3rd to 6th vertebrae of girls with normal occlusion and skeletal Class III had uniformly increased with age. 3. There was no significant difference in cervical vertebral skeletal maturity between normal occlusion and skeletal Class III malocclusion in the concavity of inferior border of the 2nd to 6th vertebrae and in the vertico-horizontal ratio of the 3rd to 6th vertebrae. The results in the study indicate that there is no significant difference of cervical vertebral skeletal maturity between girls with normal occlusion and skeletal Class III malocclusion.

A comparative study was made on the chewing movements of normal occlusion and skeletal class m malocclusion. Thirty normal occlusion subjects and twenty skeletal class III malocclusion patients were given chewing gums for the study : using BioPAK system, the chewing movement on the frontal plane was recorded and analyzed. With a typical chewing path chosen representing each subject, chewing width, opening distance, opening and closing angles, maximum opening and closing velocities were observed. Seven characteristic patterns were classified based on the types of chewing paths. The followings are the results : 1. Compared with the normal occlusion group, the skeletal class III malocclusion group showed more varied and vertical chewing patterns. 2. In comparision of chewing widths, skeletal class m malocclusion group showed narrower path than the normal occlusion group(p<0.01). 3. In opening distance, skeletal class III malocclusion group appeared shorter than the normal occlusion group without statistical significance(p>0.05). 4. In opening and closing angles, skeletal class III malocclusion group showed more acute angles than the normal occlusion group(p<0.01). 5. In maximum opening and closing velocities, skeletal class III malocclusion group was slower than the normal occlusion group but with no statistical significance(P>0.05). 6. In the classification of chewing movement pattern, the normal occlusion group had Type II as the highest rate at 73.4% ; in skeletal class III malocclusion group, the highest rate was Type III at 35.0%, followed by Type II at 30.0% 7. In the classification of chewing movement pattern, Type IV(chopping type)of skeletal class III malocclusion group showed a higher rate with 25.0% over 3.3% of normal occlusion group.

The purposes of this study were to classify the anteroposterior and vertical skeletal pattern of normal occlusion samples into specific types with factor and hierarchical cluster analysis, and to evaluate the range and limit of skeletal relationships that permit the establishment of normal occlusion via natural dentoalveolar compensation. Lateral cephalograms of 294 normal occlusion samples were measured, as selected from 15,836 persons through a community dental health survey who cooperated in record taking. Using a factor analysis, two factors representing anteroposterior and vertical skeletal relationships were extracted from 18 skeletal measurements. Then cluster analysis classified the skeletal patterns into nine types. The means and the standard deviations of 8 anteroposterior skeletal measurements and 10 vertical skeletal measurements were determined and comparisons of these measurements among the types were performed. The results obtained in this study showed that the range of normal occlusion included very diverse anteroposterior and vertical skeletal relationships.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the compensatory changes of occlusal plane angle in relation to skeletal factors. Lateral cephalograms of 61 adults with normal occlusion and 92 adults with skeletal malocclusions were traced and measured to analyze skeletal factors and occlusal plane angles. In terms of horizontal relationships, the normal occlusion group and malocclusion group were classified Into subgroups of skeletal Classes I, II, and III, while in terms of vertical relationships, each group was also classified into horizontal , average, and vertical subgroups. Some measurements were evaluated statistically by ANOVA and Post Hoc, and the others were reviewed by Paired t-tests. In this study, only the occlusal plane angle to AB plane did not show a significant difference between the normal occlusion group and malocclusion group. After treatment, the occlusal plane angle to the AB plane of the malocclusion group was approximated to that of normal occlusion group. The LOP to AB plane angle of the normal occlusion group was 91.7 in skeletal Class I, 88.8 in skeletal Class II, and 93.5 in skeletal Class III. This study was done to assess the treatment changes of the occlusal plane in the malocclusion group, and to draw a comparison with the normal occlusion group in order to present a reference to establish a new occlusal plane inclination.

This study was investigated to assess the difference of facial height and occlusal plane inclination between normal occlusion group and class II malocclusion group. The subjects consisted of 50 normal occlusion (male 25, female 25) and 50 class II(male 25, female 25) malocclusion patients. All subjects are adult. lateral cephalogram was taken with standard method traced, and digitized for each subjects. The computerized statiscal analysis was carried out with SPSS program. The results were as follows 1. In class II malocclusion group, variables significant different from normal occlusion group were as follows ; SN-FOP, FH-BOP, MP-BOP, AB-BOP, AB-FOP, Facial plane-BOP, FP-FOP 2. In class II malocclusion group, the posterior facial height -especially posterior lower facial height-was significantly smaller than normal occlusion group.(P<0.05) 3. In class II malocclusion group, the angles between occlusal plane and upper and lower incisor, the angle between upper molar and bisected occlusal plane were significantly larger than those of normal occlusion group. (P<0.05) 4. L1 to Mandibular plane (mm) was a unique factor of occlusal plane position that showed significant difference in class II malocclusion group. 5. The correlation between overbite and occlusal plane inclination existed in class II malocclusion group, but the correlation didn't exist in normal occlusion group.

In the growing children with normal occlusion and class III malocclusion who need the early treatment to be helped to diagnose and to set up treatment plan by calculating the mean values of the lateral cephalometric measurements, cephalometric measurements by McNamara alalysis were achieved and compared on both the 84 elementary school children with normal occlusion and 83 class III malocclusion children at the age of 7 to 9 in Kwangju city and the results were as follows: 1. On the boys group, between normal occlusion and class III malocclusion, Effective maxillary length, Maxillomandibular differential, Facial axis, Nasion perpendicualr to pogonion, Point A perp to Mx 1, and A-Pog line to Mn 1 showed significant differences(p<0.05). 2. On the girls group, between normal occlusion and class III malocclusion significant differences were shown in Effective Maxillary length, Maxillomandibular differential, Mandibular plan angle, Nasion perpendicualr to Point A, Point A perp to Mx 1, A-Pog line to Mn 1(p<0.01). 3. There were no significant differences between normal occlusion and class III malocclusion of boys group but significant differences between them of girls group in Effective mandibular length(P<0.01). On the boys and girls group, Effective maxilla length of class III malocclusion was shorter than that of normal occlusion. 4. There were no significant differences between normal occlusion and class III malocclusion both in boys and girls at Anterior lower facial height. 5. There were significant differences between boys and girls both in class III malocclusion and normal occlusion at Anterior lower facial height and Mandibular plane angle(p<0.01).

This study was undertaken to investigate the activities of genioglossus and orbicularis oris muscle between normal occlusion and anterior open bite group. 39 subjects without the experience of orthodontic treatment and T.M.disorder were selected for this study. 20 subjects were normal occlusion. 19 subjects were anterior open bite. The twenty items were measured from the cephalometric headplates, and EMG recording of the genioglossus, orbicularis oris muscle were taken at rest position, water swallowing, jaw opening, isometric tongue protrusion, maximum tongue protrusion. All data were analyzed and processed with the computer statistical method. The following results were obtained: 1. Except at rest position. the muscle activities of genioglossus muscle in anterior open bite were higher than in normal occlusion with singificatn difference. 2. Except druing water swallowing, the muscle activities of orbicularis oris muscle in anterior open bite were higher than in normal occlusion with significant difference. 3. During maximum tongue protrusion, the geniolossus muscle of anterior open bite subjects showed the highest muscle activity. 4. Anterior open bite showed closer interrelationship between facial morphology ad the genioglossus, orbiculars oris muscle activities than that of nomral occlusion with significatn difference.
