통상적으로 사용되는 두부 계측 방사선기기를 이용하여 12개 건조 두개골의 중요한 방사선학적 계측점에 금속구를 위치시킨 후 정모와 측모 두부 방사선사진상을 촬영하고, 이를 바탕으로 얻어진 3차원 두부 방사선사진이 어느 정도의 정확도와 정밀도를 가지고 있는지 알아 보고자 하였다. 또한 이러한 입체 영상을 얻을수 있는 프로그램으로 실제 두명의 악변형증 환자에게 적용시켜 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Nasion relator 를 이용하여 두부위치를 고정한 상태에서 각각 촬영된 정모와 측모 두부 방사선사진으로 3차원 두부 방사선사진을 작성해 본 결과, 촬영시 두부의 위치적 변화에 따른 계측치의 차이는 $0.34{\pm}0.33mm$로 나타나 위치적 변화는 거의 없었다. 즉 동일한 두개골에 대한 3차원 계측치의 x, y, z 축상의 위치 편차가 거의 없었다. 2. 실계측치와 3차원 계측치의 차이는 평균 $1.47{\pm}1.45mm$ 크게 나타났으며 실측치에 대한 3차원 계측치의 확대율은 $100.24{\pm}4.68%$였으며, 차이가 평균보다 크게 나타난 일부 항목의 경우 측모 두부 방사선사진에서 정확한 위치를 잡아내기 어려웠던 계측점이 많았다. 즉, 3차원 계측거리가 실측치와 차이를 보이는 것은 방사선 사진촬영시 위치의 재현성과 관련된 것이라기 보다는 계측점의 식별이 더 크게 좌우된 것으로 보여진다. 3 정모와 측모 두부 방사선사진의 경우 필름과 평행한 시상면에 놓이지 않은 계측항목의 축소가 두드러졌으며 건조 두개골의 크기나 형태에 따라 필름간의 거리가 상이하였기 때문에 수평적, 수직적 확대율의 일관된 경향을 발견할 수 없었다. 실측치와의 차이는 정모 두부 방사선 사진이 $4.72{\pm}2.01mm$, 측모 두부 방사선사진이 $-5.22{\pm}3.36mm$로 나타났으며 수평 계측치보다 수직 계측치가 약간 더 실측치에 근접하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 4. 실제 악교정수술 환자에게 적용해 본 결과, 계측항목의 수치적 분석보다는 악골자체의 이동량이나 변화의 정도, 비대칭의 분석등에 사용하는 것이 임상적으로 더 의의가 있으며 교정환자의 경우 정모와 측모 모두에서 명확히 나타나는 브라켓을 계측 기준점으로 할 경우 보다 정확한 계측을 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Various methods have been used in the past to indirectly analyze the craniofacial region. Among these, the lateral and posterior-anterior cephalometircs are used for the evaluation of the dentofacial deformities. However, cephalometircs create inaccuracies because of the inherent enlargement and distortion of the image. The interpretation of cephalometric films is also problematic: the number of anatomic landmarks that can be identified accurately is limited, and the overlap of structures on a radiograph making locating these landmarks difficult. To overcome these problems, computed tomography(CT) has been recommended as an useful modality in the diagnosis, surgical planning, and follow-up of craniofacial anomalies. There is no significant enlargement or distortion of the image, overlap of structure, or tracing error. And the number of anatomic landmarks is vast. The purpose of this study was to examine the orbit and midfacial region using Occlusal Maxillary CT, consisted of slices parallel to the occlusal plane. Based on these CT scan, we provide the data that could be applied to monitor an individual patient's skeletal pattern and the guide to the maxillary osteotomy.

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.

This study was intended to evaluate condyle position and the relationship of condyle position change and post surgical relapse following the sagittal split ramus osteotomy for mandible setback in 25 patients by paired t-test and multiple regression analysis. We used oblique transcranial and cephalometric radiographs taken before operation, immediate after operation, and at least 6 months post operatively. 1. In oblique transcranial view, posterior joint space was decreased immediate after operation and increased 6 months after operation. To compare the measurement before and 6 months after operation, there was no statistically significant change in over all joint spaces(P>0.05). 2. The joint spaces changed under the 0.2mm were 30%, 0.2mm to 1.0mm were 60.7%, above 1.0mm were 9.3%. This result reveals that condyle position was relatively reproduced to pre-operative state. 3. Statistically, the amount of mandible set back didn't influence the post operative relapse(P>0.05). 4. Statistically, the amount of mandible set back didn't influence the condylar displacement(P>0.05), and the amount of joint space change didn't influence the post operative relapse.(P>0.05) The changes in joint space is in the standard tracing error or within the adaptive capacity of the individual, it was too small to influence the stability of surgery.

To investigate the relationship between craniofacial growth and bone maturity of the hand wrist in normal occlusion, the author took cephalogram and handwrist radiogram of 391 students (male 192, female 199) and assessed the measurements of cephalogram according to skeletal maturity stages of the hand and wrist. In this study, four skeketal stages and 36 linear, angular measurements of the cephalometrics were selected. In hand-wrist X-ray the bones used to determine skeletal maturity were the middle phalanges of the third finger, and distal epiphysis of the radius. In cephalogram, the landmark used to measure the angle and length were N, S, Po., Ar., Go., Me., Gn., Pog., Point B, Point A, ANS, PNS, Or., U1, L1, U6, L6 etc.. The results were as follows, 1. The table of mean, standard deviation, p-value from measurements were made in each group and both sex. 2. The increased measurements according to skeletal maturity were anterior cranial bese length, posterior cranial base length, ramus height, anterior facial height, posterior facial height, L1 to mandibular plane (mm), facial plane angle. In contrast to, decreased measurements were genial angle, facial cnvexity and facial plane angle. 3. Denture pattern measurements (IMPA, FMIA, occlusal plane to Go-Gn, interincisal angle, U1 to SN plane, U1 to SN plane, U1 to facial plane, L1 to facial plane etc.) .had nothing to do with skeletal maturity. 4. Skeletal maturity had close relationship with craniofacial growth, but had little to do with tooth development.

This study was performed to investigate the clinical features of internal derangement of temporomandibular joint. For this study, 117 patients with temporomandibular disorders and 81 dental students without any signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders were selected as the patients group and as the control group, respectively. Preferred chewing side, Angle's classification, lateral guidance pattern, maximal mouth opening range, and affected side were recorded clinically. Head and shouldeer posture was measured in a groundplate on which square diagram of five centimeters each had been drawn, and cephalograph was also taken for measurement of head and neck posture. Sonopak of Biopak system (Bioresearch inc., USA) was used to record joint vibration for evaluation of internal healthy status of temporomandibular joint. The data collected were analyzed by SAS statistical program. The results of this study were as follows : 1. Frequency of left side chewing subjects was higher in patients than in control group, but there was no difference in distribution of subjects by Angle's classification. Other types was prvalent in patients whereas group function was more in control group for lateral guidance pattern. 2. As to lateral guidance pattern by clinical diagnosis, patients with internal derangement and/or degenerative joint disease showed higher frequency was consistent with the result by Sonopak impression. 3. There was no difference for shoulder height between the two groups, however, tilting of head and backward extension of cervical spine was more frequent in control group. 4. Acromion was positioned more anteriorly in patients with internal derangement and/or degenerative joint disease than in control group and angle between eye and tragus was larger in patients. Patients with degenerative joint disease showed more flexed head posture than control group did in cephalometric profile. 5. Maximal mouth opening range in patients with internal derangement was the least in all subgroups in patients classified by Sonopak impression.

The purpose of this study was to investigate not only the variability in the timing and amount of the maximum pubertal spurt in cranial base and mandible, but also its interrelationship with the timing of peak height velocity. This study was carried out by analysing biannual serial lateral cephalometric radiographs of twenty-six males and twenty-one females who were taken from 8.5years to 16.5years old of mean age, according to the established land-marks and linear measurements. The results of this study were summarized as follows. 1. Prevalance of the maximum growth spurt more than 80 percentage was occurred in all measurements of cranial base and mandible, except posterior cranial base length in the female. 2. In all measurements of cranial base and mandible, the maximum spurt was occurred earlier in the female than the male while it was greater in male in all measurements except ramal height. 3. In body height measurement, the peak height velocity was occurred 2 years earlier for the female(11.0 years old) than the male(13.0 years old). 4. The timing of maximum spurt in anterior cranial base length and total mandibular length in both sexes and ramal height in the female were coincided with PHV. The maximum spurt was occurred in both sexes in all measurements 2 years before or after PHV, except mandibular body length and posterior cranial base length the in female. 5. In all ages, there was significant correlation between the total mandibular length and ramal height, and was also correlation between total cranial base length and anterior cranial base length(P<0.05). However, there was no significant correlation between the ramal height and mandibular body length. In addition, there was also no any correlation between the anterior cranial base length and posterior cranial base length in all ages(P>0.05).

This study was performed to investigate the relationships between the EMG activity of the masticatory muscles in Angle's Class II div. 1 malocclusion and normal occlusion. This study was ranged from age 12 to 14 year-old for 30 male subjects: 15 subjects were Angle's Class II div. 1 malocclusion, and 15 subjects were normal occlusion with acceptable profile. Their cephalometric measurement were analyzed, and the EMG recordings from the anterior temporal, posterior temporal, masseter, and orbicularis oris muscles were analyzed during rest position, mastication of peanuts, and swallowing. All data was recorded and statistically processed with the VAX-11/780 computer system. The results were as follows: 1. The activity of muscles at rest was highest in the posterior temporal muscle with normal occlusion, as well as in those with Class II div. 1 malocclusion, and the posterior temporal muscle activity of Class II div. 1 malocclusion was higher than that of normal occlusion. 2. During mastication, all muscle activities of Class II div. 1 malocclusion were recorded lower than those of normal occlusion, and the activity of the anterior temporal muscle was higher than that of the posterior temporal muscle in both types of occlusion. 3. As for the activity in orbicularis oris muscle, it was greater in opening phase than in closing phase during chewing cycle with both types of occlusion. 4. During swallowing, the activities of the anterior temporal, masseter, and orbicularis oris muscles of Class II div. 1 malocclusion were recorded lower than those of normal occlusion.

이 연구는 Horseshoe Expander를 이용하여 확장 전과 후의 악구강계의 변화를 분석하고자 시행되었다. 상악궁 확장이 필요한 것으로 진단된 33명을 연구자료로 사용하였다. 완만 상악골 확장술(SME)을 적용한 19명을 대상으로 연구대상자의 정모 및 측모 두부 방사선 사진과 모형을 확장 전과 후로 채득하였다. 또한, 급속 상악골 확장장치(RME)를 적용한 13명을 대상으로 확장 후의 치축각의 변화를Horseshoe Expander군과 비교하였다. 이 자료를 계측, 통계 처리하여 분석한 결과, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 정모 두부 방사선 규격사진 분석에서 양측 상악 중절치의 치근 및 절단연의 중앙점 사이의 거리, 상악 폭경, 비강 폭경이 유의성있는 증가를 보였고, 상하악 폭경은 감소를 보여 결국 삼각형 모양의 확장 양상을 나타냈다. 2. 측모 두부 방사선 규격사진 분석에서 McNamara line에 대한 상악 중절치의 거리, 상악깊이, 상악 높이 항목이 증가를 나타냈다. 또한, FH평면에 대한 상악 중절치, 구개평면, 교합평면, 하악 평면의 각도가 증가를 나타냈으나, McNamara line에 대한 하악 중절치의 거리항목은 유의성이 없었다. 3. 모형 분석에서, 구개용적, 상악 견치와 제1대구치의 폭경 및 상악궁 길이 항목이 유의성 있게 증가하였고, 교합 접촉점의 감소가 유의성을 나타냈다. 4. 상악 제1대구치간 폭경변화(치성 변화)대 상악폭경변화(골격성 변화)가 약 2.2:1의 비율을 보였다. 5. Horseshoe Expander군과 급속 상악골 확장장치군(RME군)의 확장 전,후 치축각 비교에서는, Horseshoe Expander군이 급속 상악골 확장장치군(RME군)보다 상악 제2소구치, 제1대구치에서 더 큰 상관계수를 가짐으로써 협측 경사이동이 적은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, Horseshoe Expander는 치성 변화가 적고, 급속 상악골 확장장치 (RME)에 비하여 협측 경사이동이 적으므로 상악궁 확장에 효과적인 장치로 사료된다.
