Centric relation is defined the horizontal position between maxilla and mandible when condylar head of mandible is positioned adequately in mandibular fossa. The most recent concept of centric relation position is defined as the mandibular position in which the condyles are in their most superoanterior position in the articular fossa, resting against the posterior slope of the articular eminences, with the articular disk properly interposed. To be suitable as a reference point during occlusal management, a mandibular position of centric relation has to be functionally acceptable to the patient and clinically reproducible and achievable during everyday practice. There are numerous methods for determination of centric relation, and in this study we used three of them, Gothic arch tracing(Group I), leaf gauge(Group II), and anterior jig(Group III). The subjects were 10, 8 men and 2 women, age-ranged from 23 to 26 years old, had no prosthetics in thier mouth, and had no sign and symptom of temporomandibular disorders. We gained three occlusal records using each method, and then the degree of the reproducibility was examined with split cast technique. In this study the reproducibility of centric relation using split cast technique was greater in the order of Group I(mean 1.6), Group II(mean 1.4), and Group III(mean 1.3), but there was no significant differences among them statistically(p>0.05).

Femoral neck anteversion is the angle between the neck and the knee axis projected on a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Conventional methods that use cross-sectional Computed Tomography(CT) images to estimate femoral anteversion have several problems because of the complex 3D structure of the femur. These are the ambiguity of defining the longitudinal axis, the femoral neck axis and condylar line, and the dependence on patient positioning. Especially the femoral neck axis that is known as a major source of error is hard to determine from a single or multiple 2D transverse images. So we developed a new method for measuring femoral anteversion by 3D modeling method. In this method, femoral head is modeled as a sphere. The center of femoral neck is the mid-point of the 2D reconstructed oblique image in the femoral neck part. Then neck axis is a line connecting foregoing two centers. We model the longitude of femur as a cylinder, and the long axis is defined from the fitted cylinder. The knee axis which is tangent to the back of the femoral condyles is easily determined by table-top method. By the definition of femoral anteversion, the femoral anteversion is easily calculated from this model.

Osteochondroma is a common benign tumor of bones, but it is rare in the mandibular condyle. With its outgrowth it manifests clinically as deviation of the mandible limitation of mouth opening, and facial asymmetry. After the tumor is diagnosed on the basis of clinical symptoms and radiographic examination including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis, an appropriate surgery and treatment plan should be formulated. Herein, we present the case of a 44-year-old female patient who visited our dental hospital because her chin point had been deviating to the left side slowly but progressively over the last 3 years and she had difficulty masticating. Based on CBCT, she was diagnosed with skeletal Class III malocclusion accompanied by osteochondroma of the right mandibular condyle. Maxillary occlusal cant with the right side down was observed, but it was confirmed to be an extrusion of the molars associated with dental compensation. Therefore, after intrusion of the right molars with the use of temporary anchorage devices, sagittal split ramus osteotomy was used to remove the tumor and perform orthognathic surgery simultaneously. During 6 months after the surgery, continuous bone resorption and remodeling were observed in the condyle of the affected side, which led to a change in occlusion. During the postoperative orthodontic treatment, intrusive force and buccal torque were applied to the molars on the affected side, and a proper buccal overjet was created. After 18 months, CBCT revealed that the rate of bone absorption was continuously reduced, bone corticalization appeared, and good occlusion and a satisfying facial profile were achieved.

This study was conducted for the purpose of suggestion of the new technique of sagittal split ramus osteotomy pararell to the true sagittal plane. This pararellism is the important concept of the sagittal split ramus osteotomy to reduce the condylar sagging including mandibular hypomobility, temporomandibular disorder, occlusal relapse and other complications. We used 26 adult dry manibles(52 rami), and obtained the computed tomographs through the sagittal, horizontal and coronal sections. The results were obtained as follows. 1. On sagittal section, mean area of S1 was $8.63{\pm}2.10cm^2$, S2 was $8.93{\pm}1.94cm^2$, S3 was $9.49{\pm}2.15cm^2$, S6 was $10.72{\pm}2.22cm^2$. The wider area of sagittal section, the more lateral section, But, no significant differency between the areas of the sagittal sections(P>0.05). 2. On horizontal section, The distance between the inferior alveolar canal and the lateral cortical plate of the mandibular ramus were $6.73{\pm}1.24mm$ minum, $7.70{\pm}1.44mm$ maximum. 3. On coronal section, Outer mandibular angle were $4.84{\pm}2.37^{\circ}$ right side, $4.93{\pm}2.12^{\circ}$ left side. 4. The design of the ideal true sagittal split ramus osteotomy is that posterior border of osteotomy must be limited vertically, at the right posterior point of lingula mandibularis and anterior of osteotomy must be extended to mandibular body, anteroinferiorly.

두개안면부에서 하악은 태생 4주에 발생하는 첫번째 아가미궁에서 분화되며 맥켈연골이라 알려져 있는 긴 막대기 모양의 연골의 외측부에서 골화가 시작된다. 이후 하악골은 골의 첨가와 흡수에 의해 성장 발육하게 된다. 이런 하악골의 성장 발육이 과하거나 부족한 경우 상하악골의 부조화에 의한 부정교합이 발생되게 되고, 이를 3급 또는 2급 부정교합이라 부른다. 3급 부정교합의 치료를 위해 지금까지 많은 방법들이 사용되어 왔으며, 그중 가장 널리 사용되어지는것이 이모장치이다. Distraction osteogenesis는 강한 힘이나 수술에 의해 분리된 두 개의 골표면 사이에서 새로운 신생골이 형성되는 일련의 생물학적인 과정을 말한다. Distraction force가 callus tissue에 작용되어 골이 분리되면 골과 연조직에 가해지는 신장력이 새로운 골 생성을 자극하게 된다. 이번 연구의 목적은 3차원 유한요소 model을 이용하여 이모장치의 하중에 대한 하악골의 응력분포를 알아보고, 하악골 절개 (mandibular midline distraction) 후 강제변형에 대한 응력분포를 알아보는 것이다.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of mandibular midline shift and difference of mandibular height between both sides on the electromyo- graphic(EMG) activity of the masticatory muscles on clenching or gum chewing movement. For this study, 105 patients with temporomandibular disorders(TMD) were selected and panoramic radiograph were taken. Amount and side of the midline shift and height of the mandible from antegonial notch to the top of the condylar head were measured on panoramic view. $BioEMG^{(R)}$ (Bioresearch Inc., Milwaukee, USA) was used for recording of EMG activity(${\mu}V$) of the anterior temporalis and the superficial masseter on clenching or gum chewing movement. EMG activity on clenching during 533msec period were measured for activity of the starting point and the one second-after activity as the early EMG and the maximum EMG, respectively. EMG activity on gum chewing movement were measured for activity of the first and the second chewing stroke. The data collected were analysed by SPSS windows program, and the results of this study were as follows : 1. Height of the mandible was 8.06cm on right side and 8.03cm on left side, and showed no difference by age, but significantly differed by sex with higher in male subjects. 2. Mean value of the midline shift was 0.1mm with range of 0~5mm on both sides. The amount and side of the midline shift did not related with height difference of the mandible and/or the EMG activity of the masticatory muscles on clenching. 3. Prevalence of higher right side and higher left side of the mandible were almost same, and the EMG activity of higher side was not higher than that of the other side. 4. In the subjects with height difference of more than 5mm between both sides of the mandible, the early EMG activity on clenching were differed for the anterior temporalis, but the maximum activity were differed for the superficial masseter. 5. In the subjects with height difference of more than 5mm between both sides of the mandible, EMG activity of the anterior temporalis of the gum chewing side was not higher than that of the other side when chewing on the side of lower height, but in the subjects with height difference of less than 5mm, the EMG activity was higher than that of the other side.

이 연구는 각 유형의 부정교합과 중심교합위-중심위 변위량 간의 상호관련성을 구명하기 위하여 시행되었다. 각 부정교합자 군에서 중심교합위-중심위 변위를 3차원적으로 비교 평가하고, 각 안면골격 형태의 특징에 따른 변위량의 차이 유무를 분석하고, 각 유형의 부정교합 골격형태에서 중심교합위-중심위 변위와 두개안면골격 계측요소 간의 상관성을 검정하였다. 242명의 부정교합자를 대상으로 중심교합위 상태에서 얻어진 측모두부X선규격사진을 계측하고 이들을 수평적, 수직적 관계에 의하여 9군으로 분류하였다. 또한 이들로부터 중심위와 중심교합위에서의 교합기록을 채득하고 face-bow로 안궁이전을 한 뒤 석고모형을 교합기에 중심위 상태로 탑재하였다. CPI를 이용하여 중심위와 중심교합위의 하악과두위치를 측정하고 이들과 각 군의 측모두부X선규격사진 계측치와의 상관성을 검정하기 위하여 통계처리한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 중심교합위-중심위 변위의 양과 방향에서 좌측과 우측은 증등도의 상관관계를 보였으며 전후방보다는 상하변위의 좌 우측 상관성이 다소 높았다. 2. II급 부정 교합군이 I 급과 III급 부정교합군에 비해 좌우측간의 중심 교합위-중심위 변위가 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 3. 각 부정교합군에서의 중심교합위-중심위 변위 유형은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 4. 중심교합위 상태의 측모두부X선규격사진상에서의 안면골격의 형태요소와 중심교합위-중심위 변위간에는 상관성이 적었다. 5. II급 brachyfacial skeleton과 III급 mesofacial skeleton의 일부 계측치에서 CPI수치를 예측할 수 있는 항목들이 나타났다. 중심교합위-중심위 변위의 양과 방향은 특정한 안면형태요소와는 무관하며 하악과두의 위치변이는 부정교합양태나 안면골격 형태와 관계없이 발현되었다.
