This study was undertaken to establish the roentgenocephalometric standards of the Korean children in Hellman dental age III C. The subjects consisted of 33 males and 33 females with the normal occlusion and acceptable profile. The lateral cephalometric films were taken with the teeth in centric occlusion, the soft tissue outline of the nose, lips, and chin was made visible by the low-speed films, 70Kvp, 100Mas. Their linear and angular measurements were performed by Jarabak's methods. The following results were obtained; 1) The author made the tables of standard deviation from the measured values. 2) Each linear measurement of the skull was greater in males than in females. 3) The maxillary basal bones were more protrusive in Korean children than in Caucasian. 4) The degree of the facial convexity was larger in Korean children than in Caucasian. 5) The labial inclination of the upper & lower incisors was greater in Korean children than in Caucasian. The labial inclination of the upper incisor was greater in females, but the labial inclination of the lower incisor was greater in males.

Purpose: To assess the relationship between soft tissue reference line and hard tissue reference line using the standardized photographs and the posteroanterior cephalometric radiographs(P-A)in facial asymmetric patients and to compare the differences of angular measurement between normal group and asymmetry group. Methods: Normal group consisted of 44 persons with normal occlusion and normal facial morphology. Asymmetry group consisted of 90 patients with facial asymmetry. Standardized facial photographs and P-A were taken in all subjects. The horizontal reference lines were bipupillary line in photographs and latero-orbitale line in P-A respectively. The vertical reference line were the line from the midpoint of horizontal reference line perpendicularly. Angular measurement of otobasion canting, lip canting, nose deviation, chin deviation, and maxillary deviation were compared and analyzed in photographs. And angular measurement of mastoid canting, mandibular canting, nose deviation, chin deviation, and maxillary deviation were compared and analyzed in P-A. Results: 1. The variables of photographs and P-A were significantly related in the asymmetry group. 2. Significant differences between all variables except for PT2 and PA2 were shown in the asymmetry group and between PT1 and PA1, PT3 and PA3 in the normal group respectively. 3. Comparison measurement scores of angular difference between control group and experimental group concerning each variable showed significant difference except for PA1. Conclusions: Soft tissue components may not compensate for underlying skeletal imbalance in nose deviation and chin deviation. The horizontal reference lines in photographs were significant related with the P-A, but angular variables between the two studies show significant differences. Therefore, we do not recommend use photography in the assessment the facial asymmetry as complemented in the P-A.

Analysis of lateral cephalometric radiograph (cephalogram) has been used routinely to evaluate skeletal and dental relationships, but analysis of the lateral facial photograph has not been used frequently for evaluation of skeletal relationships. As concerns about harm of X-ray irradiation increases, this study was planned to evaluate the possibility of substituting analysis of the lateral cephalogram with analysis of the lateral facial photograph by comparing these two analyses. According to the ANB values from cephalometric analysis, subjects were divided into three groups: Class I malocclusion group (n=32). Class II malocclusion group (n=32), and Class III malocclusion group (n=31). After measurements of angles indicating horizontal and vertical relationships of the maxilla and mandible on the lateral cephalograms and photographs, differences between Class I, II and III groups were evaluated. To evaluate the similarity between two similar values in the cephalograms and photographs, t-test using standardized variable Z and correlation analysis were performed in the Class I malocclusion group. The results showed that 1) SnN'Pg' on the photograph can be used to evaluate the antero-posterior relationship of the maxilla and mandible (ANB), 2) N'-Sn/Sn-Pg' on the photograph can be used to evaluate facial convexity (NA/APg), 3) Sn-Tra-Me' on the photograph can be used as a measurement similar to FMA. In conclusion, partly substituting lateral cephalogram analysis with lateral facial photograph analysis was possible in the evaluation of the maxilla and mandible.

The purpose of this article was to determine the amount of cranio-facial asymmetry in normal subject before the analysis of the cranio-facial asymmetry as the result of internal derangement in T.M.J. dysfunction. The author has conducted analysis using Cephalometric P-A reviews of 54 males and 51 females. Following the Grayson's method of measurement, the standard value of cranio-facial asymmetry in normal subject was obtained. The following results were obtained: 1. Compared with right and left width, asymmetry could be identified in normal subject, although the degree of the difference appears to be small. 2. In male, asymmetric value of contact point of the upper central incisors is 0.76±0.84㎜ that of the lower central incisors is 0.86±0.86㎜, and that of center of genial tubercle is 0.87±1.06㎜. In female, asymmetric value of contact point of the upper central incisors is 1.03±1.29㎜, that of lower incisors is 1.11 ±1.18㎜, and that of center of genial tubercle is 1.45±2.15㎜. 3. Cranio-facial saymmetry in female is somewhat greater than that of male.

This is to evaluate the postoperative cephalometric changes of the chin advanced by the genioplasty. Thirty-eight patients who underwent advancement genioplasties at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital between January of 2001 and February of 2003. They were followed up for at least 12 months with lateral cephalographs. The remodelling changes of the horizontal linear measurement between the Pogonion and Perpendicular line to FH plane were measured and analysed by Independent sample tests. The chin advancement resulted in $1.3{\pm}0.3mm$ resorption (28.2% of advancement) after 6 months, but in $1.4{\pm}0.2mm$ after 1 year. If the chin was advanced less than 3 mm, remodelling followed by $1.2{\pm}0.2mm$ reduction, but $1.3{\pm}0.3mm$ reduction followed after chin advanced over 4 mm. There were no significant differences in the amount of bone resorption by the gender, number of genial cut-steps and acompanied osteotomies.

Three-dimensional solid model has not been widely used in surgical prediction of orthognathic surgery because frequent artifacts from occlusal restorations or prosthesis limited the usefulness of simulated surgery involving occlusion. We prepared three-dimensional(3D) solid model from CT data and integrated the 3D solid model with dental cast using a face-bow transfer technique combined with skeletal reference measurement and confirmation with cephalometric radiographs. With this simple and easy method, it was possible to predict bony interference between the proximal and distal segment of the mandible so that we can prevent condylar displacement after sagittal split ramus osteotomy of the mandible with prominent asymmetry. The method error was within 2mm and it seemed to be useful in preoperative planning for maxillofacial surgery with maxillo-mandibular occlusal change.
