Objective: This study aimed to quantitatively assess the relationship of smile esthetic variables with various types of malocclusion, and identify the cephalometric factors affecting smile measurements. Methods: This retrospective study included 106 patients who were treated with retention at the orthodontic department of Taipei Medical University Hospital. Hard-tissue variables were measured using lateral cephalographic tracings, and nine smile esthetic variables were measured using facial photographs. The patients were divided into three groups according to their overjet (< 0, 0-4, and > 4 mm). An analysis of variance was conducted to compare the pretreatment cephalometric variables and smile esthetic variables among the three groups. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify the cephalometric factors affecting the smile measurements in each group. Results: Except the upper midline and buccal corridor ratio, all of the smile measurements differed significantly among the three groups before orthodontic treatment. Some of the smile characteristics were correlated with the cephalometric measurements in different types of malocclusion. The overjet was the major factor influencing the smile pattern in all three types of malocclusion. Conclusions: Smile characteristics differ between different types of malocclusion; the smile may be influenced by skeletal pattern, dental procumbency, or facial type. These findings indicate that establishment of an optimal horizontal anterior teeth relationship is the key to improving the smile characteristics in different types of malocclusion.

소아치과 영역에서 아동의 두부방사선 계측치의 비교분석은 성장과 발육의 평가에 중요하며 부정교합의 조기진단과 치료를 위한 두개 안면부의 형태, 성장 양상을 아는 것에 필수적이다. 이를 위하여 두부방사선 계측학적 표준치가 중요한데 유치열기에 관한 연구는 많지 않으므로 유치열기 정상교합 아동의 표준치를 얻고 과거 연구에서의 계측치와 비교하고자 서울시내 소재의 유아원 아동 중 유치열기의 정상교합을 가진 4세에서 5세 아동으로 본원에 내원한 안모 및 전신 발육 상태가 양호한 아동 46명을 대상으로 측모 두부방사선 계측 사진을 촬영, 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 골격성 계측항목에서 각도 계측치는 남녀사이에 유의한 차이가 없고 길이 계측치는 남자가 여자보다 전반적으로 큰 수치를 보였다. 2. SNA는 $81.3^{\circ}$, SNB는 $76.6^{\circ}$, ANB difference는 $4.7^{\circ}$를 나타냈다. 3. Anterior cranial base length에 대한 Mandibular body length의 비율은 남녀모두 0.9:1이었고 Anterior facial height에 대한 Posterior facial height의 백분율은 남자 61.4%, 여자 62.0%를 나타냈다. 4. 치성 계측항목에서는 IMPA는 $84.2^{\circ}$, UA to SN은 $90.8^{\circ}$를 나타냈다. 5. Ricketts의 심미선에 대하여 상순은 2.6mm, 하순은 2.5mm 전방으로 위치하고 있었다.

Introduction: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has various advantages and is used favorably in many fields in dentistry. Especially, CBCT is being used as basic diagnostic tool for 3-dimensional analysis in orthognathic patient. Two-dimensional cephalograms can be synthesized from CBCT digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) data. In this study, conventional cephalograms and CBCT were taken simultaneously, and representative landmarks were located and analyzed in its accuracy and reproducibility. Materials and Methods: Ten patients who had orthognathic surgery in Wonkwang University Daejeon Dental Hospital participated in this study. For each patient, CBCT and conventional cephalogram was taken. By using Ondemand (Cybermad, Korea), 2-dimensional cephalograms was established on CBCT. In addition, 19 landmarks were designated and measured by 3 orthodontists twice a week. After these landmarks were transferred to a coordinate, distance of landmark and axis, standard error, distribution degree were measured, compared and analyzed. Results: Comparing the CT ceph group and conventional cephalogram group, CT ceph group had shown shorter distance of landmark and axis in S, Hinge axis, Bpt, Ba, Or, Corpus left. Standard error of the mean shows that CT ceph group has better reproducibility in Or, Corpus left, Hinge axis at X axis and Na, U1R, U1T, Bpt, PNS, Ba Corpus left, Hinge axis at Y axis. In both groups, mean error was less than 1.00 mm, no significant difference were found between CT ceph group and conventional cephalogram group in all measurements. Furthermore, comparing two groups, each 17 landmarks out of 19 had its characteristic in distribution degree. Conclusion: No significant difference were found between CBCT composed cephalographic radiograph and conventional cephalograghic radiograph, clinical application may be possible if improved.
