The author studied and analyzed statistically 112 adults female ranging in age from 18 to 20 years with normal occlusion, 56 adults female ranging in age from 18 to 24 years with deep overbite and 53 adults female ranging in age from 18 to 28 years with open bite by vertical cephalometric analysis. The results were as follows; 1. In comparing normal occlusion with deep overbite and open bite, skeletal linear measurements were more significant than dentoalveolar linear measurements. SN-MP angle, SN-OP angle, PP-OP angle and Xi angle (ANS-Xi-Pog) were significant in anglular measurements. 2. Upper posterior facial height (SE-PNS), upper anterior alveolar height, lower posterior alveolar height, lower posterior alveolar height/lower anterior alveolar height and SN-PP angle were non significant between deep overbite and open bite. 3 The most significant items between deep overbite and open bite were lower anterior facial height (ANS-ME) and SN-MP angle. 4. Correlation coefficients of angular measurements were higher in deep overbite, while that of linear measurement total anterior facial height (N-ME) was higher in open bite. 5. In the multiple regression equation, significant variables were total anterior facial height (N-ME), lower anterior alveolar height, upper anterior alveolar height, upper posterior alveolar height, Xi angle (ANS-Xi-Pog) and ramus height (AR-Go) in deep overbite, and total anterior facial height (N-Me), lower anterior alveolar height, ramus height (AR-Go), lower posterior alveolar height, PP-MP angle and upper posterior facial height (SE-PNS) in open bite.

The present study was carried out to investigate the relationships between the depth of overbite and the masseteric silent period. Normal subjects of 44 were selected, which consisted of 9 open bites, 24 normal overbites and 11 deep bites, all were 19-29 years of age. EMG activity was recorded on the bilateral masseteric muscles and craniofacial radiography was done. The following results were obtained. 1. The mean duration of masseteric silent period was $18.58{\pm}4.50$ msec in open bite, $17.37{\pm}7.05$ msec in normal overbite and $19.30{\pm}7.62$ msec in deep bite groups. 2. There were no significant differences on masseteric silent period among open bite, normal overbite and deep bite groups. 3. There were no significant correlations between masseteric silent period and craniofacial variables.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors which cause the differences in the percentage of anterior overbite in spite of normal molar relationship in terms of skeletal, dental and dentoalveolar relations. The models and cephalograms taken from 154 subjects, 89 of shallow overbite and 65 of deep overbite ranging from 18 to 29 years of age were studied and analyzed statistically. The results were as follows. 1. In determining the percentage of anterior overbite, the significant differences were higher in the dental and dentoalveolar factors than in the skeletal factors and were higher in the proportional and angular measurements than in linear measurements. 2. The factor which had the greatest influence on the percentage of anterior overbite was the proportional parts of the dental and dentoalveolar heights. 3. The most influencing factor which determined the percentage of anterior overbite was the SN-MP angle among the skeletal factors.

Moebius syndrome (MBS) is a congenital neurologic disorder that causes cranio-facial abnormalities. It involves paralysis of the VI and VII cranial nerves and causes bilateral or unilateral facial paralysis, eye movement disorder, and deformation of the upper and lower limbs. The orofacial dysfunctions include microstomia, micrognathia, hypotonic mimetic and lip muscles, dental enamel hypoplasia, tongue deformity, open bite or deep overbite, maxillary hypoplasia, high arched palate, mandibular hyperplasia or features indicating mandibular hypoplasia. This case report presents a 7-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with MBS at the age 2 years. The patient displayed typical clinical symptoms and was diagnosed with Class II malocclusion with a large overjet/overbite, tongue deformity and motion limitation, and lip closure incompetency. Treatment was initiated using a removable appliance for left scissor bite correction. After permanent tooth eruption, fixed appliance treatment was performed for correction of the arch width discrepancy and deep overbite. A self-ligation system and wide-width arch form wire were used during the treatment to expand the arch width. After 30 months of phase II treatment, the alignment of the dental arch and stable molar occlusion was achieved. Function and occlusion remained stable with a Class I canine and molar relationship, and a normal overjet/overbite was maintained after 9.4 years of retainer use. In MBS patients, it is important to achieve an accurate early diagnosis, and implement a multidisciplinary treatment approach and long-term retention and follow-up.

For the purpose of investigating mesiodistal axial inclination of posterior teeth in normal occlusion group, open bite and deep bite group and investigating the correlationship between the axial inclination of posterior teeth and overbite of anterior teeth, a cephalometric study was performed on the subjects consisted of normal occlusion group(40), open bite group(71 : Angle's Class I, Class II, division 1 25, Class III 25) and deep bite group(64 : Angle's Class I 23, Class II, division 1 21, Class III 20). Mesiodistal axial inclination of posterior teeth to occlusal, mandibular and palatal plane were measured. The findings of this study were as follows : 1. Upper and lower posterior teeth were more mesially inclined to occlusal plane in open bite group than in deep bite group. 2. Lower posterior teeth were more mesially inclined in deep bite group than in open bite group in Angle's Class II, division 1 malocclusion but there were no significant differences in Angle's Class I and Class III malocclusion. 3. There was no significant correlationship between the axial inclination of posterior teeth to each plane and overbite of anterior teeth in open bite group. 4. There was a significant correlationship between the axial inclination of upeer and lower second premolar to occlusal plane and overbite of anterior teeth in Angle's Class I, Class II, division 1 and Class III malocclusion.

This study was to investigate the effect of functional pressures of the tongue and lips on the incisor relationship. The incisor relationship was devided into two categories; one is vertical relationship which is subdevided into open bite, normal overbite and deep bite on the basis of overbite, and the other is anteroposterior relationship which is subdevided into cross bite, normal overjet and large overjet on the basis of overjet. The functional tongue and lip pressures exerted to incisors were measured with subminiature pressure sense from the 99 subjects, 19 of normal overbite and overjet, 26 of open bite, 18 of deep bite, 17 of cross bite and 19 of large overjet with age of 17-20, and cephalograms were taken from the same subjects. Functional pressures were analyzed and correlated to craniofacial veriables. The results of present investigation led to the following conclusions. 1. There were no differences in functional and maximum pressures by the tongue and lips exerted to maxillary incisors between normal occlusion, open bite, deep bite, cross bite and large overjet. 2. Significant differences in functional and maximum pressures by the tongue and lips exerted to mandibular incisors have been shown to exist between open bite and deep bite, but no differences between cross bite and large overjet. 3. Equilibrium between tongue pressures and lip pressures did not exist. 4. Significant differences in the ratio of upper functional and maximum pressures to lower pressures of the tongue and lips exerted to upper and lower incisors have been shown to exist between open bite and deep bite, and no differences between cross bite and large overjet. 5, There was significant correlation between functional and maximum pressures exerted to mandibular incisors and craniofacial variables, but not significant correlation between functional and maximum pressures exerted to maxillary incisors and craniofacial variables.

Since 1984, many patients have been treated with Multiloop Edgewise Archwire (MEAW) Technique and diagnosed with ODI (Overbite Depth Indicator) and APDI (Anteroposterior Dysplasia Indicator) by the authors. 234 samples of them were selected randomly for the statistical analysis (age, sex, Angle's classification, treatment period, extraction, ODI etc.). Especially, ODI was analysed statistically and its application methods were reviewed. The results and conclusions were as follows: 1. On the 150 patients with normal overbite, the mean values of Class I, II, III malocclusion were $67.5^{\circ}$, $72.2^{\circ}$ and $59.0^{\circ}$. They were significantly different on the level of p < 0.01. 2. In normal overbite samples, ODI decreased with the increase of APDI and the correlation coefficient was -0.54. It seems that this result reflects the characteristics of AB to mandibular plane angle. 3. The regression equation was Y = - 0.57X + 114.64, where X is APDI and Y is ODI. In cases of small or large APDI, it seems to be absurd that the patient's ODI is compared with the mean ODI to differentiate diagnostically the open bite or deep bite tendency from the normal.
