In this study, we examined how the upper and lower lips articulate to produce labial /p/. Using electromagnetic midsagittal articulography, we collected flesh-point tracking movement data from eight native speakers of Seoul Korean (five females and three males). Individual articulatory movements in /p/ were examined in terms of minimum vertical upper lip position, maximum vertical lower lip position, and corresponding vertical upper lip position aligned with maximum vertical lower lip position. Using linear mixed-effect models, we tested two factors (word boundary [across-word vs. within-word] and speech rate [comfortable vs. fast]) and their interaction, considering subjects as random effects. The results are summarized as follows. First, maximum lower lip position varied with different word boundaries and speech rates, but no interaction was detected. In particular, maximum lower lip position was lower (e.g., less constricted or more reduced) in fast rate condition and across-word boundary condition. Second, minimum lower lip position, as well as lower lip position, measured at the time of maximum lower lip position only varied with different word boundaries, showing that they were consistently lower in across-word condition. We provide further empirical evidence of lower lip movement sensitive to both different word boundaries (e.g., linguistic factor) and speech rates (e.g., paralinguistic factor); this supports the traditional idea that the lower lip is an actively moving articulator. The sensitivity of upper lip movement is also observed with different word boundaries; this counters the traditional idea that the upper lip is the target area, which presupposes immobility. Taken together, the lip aperture gesture is a good indicator that takes into account upper and lower lip vertical movements, compared to the traditional approach that distinguishes a movable articulator from target place. Respective of different speech rates, the results of the present study patterned with cross-linguistic lenition-related allophonic variation, which is known to be more sensitive to fast rate.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference of EMG activity of the Orbicularis oris and Mentalis muscle between normal occlusion and class III malocclusion group during various lip position and to find out whether any correlations exist between the muscular activity and craniofacial morphology. In this study, 50 subjects with a mean age of 22.9 Years (range 20.0-26.0) were investigated (25 subjects were normal occlusion, and 25 subjects were class III malocclusion). EMG data were recorded from the Orbicularis oris and Mentalis muscle during rest lip posture, lip position at maximum biting, lip position at maximum sealing effort, lip position at chewing, swallowing and phonation with the Medelec MS-25 electromyographic machine. Lateral cephalometric radiographs was taken with the mandible in intercuspal position on all subjects. All data were recorded and statistically processed. The findings of this study can be summerized as follows: 1. In normal occlusion, the maximal mean amplitude of upper lip during the lip position at chewing was lower than that of lower lip and mentalis muscle. But the maximal mean amplitude of orbicularis oris and mentalis muscle during the other lip position was not statistically different. 2. In Class III malocclusion, the maximal mean amplitude of upper lip during the lip position at chewing, swallowing and phonation was lower than that of lower lip and mentalis muscle. But the maximal mean amplitude of orbicularis oris and mentalis muscle during the other lip position was not statistically different. 3. Compare to normal occlusion, the Class III malocclusion was showed low maximal mean amplitude of upper lip during rest lip posture and the lip position at swallowing of saliva, and showed great maximal mean amplitude of lower lip and meantalis muscle during the lip position at chewing and phonation. 4. In normal occlusion, the maximal mean amplitude of upper lip during various lip position was not correlated with the length and thickness of upper lip, but the maximal mean amplitude of lower lip during the lip position at chewing and swallowing was positively correlated with the thickness of lower lip. 5. In Class III malocclusion, the maximal mean amplitude of upper lip during rest lip posture was negatively correlated with the thickness of upper lip, and the maximal mean amplitude of lower lip and mentalis muscle during the lip position at chewing and swallowing was positively correlated with the thickness of lower lip and mentalis muscle. But the maximal mean amplitude of orbicularis oris and mentalis muscle during the other lip position was not correlated with the cephalometric measurements of soft tissue. 6. The correlation between the maximal mean amplitude of orbicularis oris and mentalis muscle and cephalometric measurements of incisors was not nearly present. 7. In normal occlusion, the maximal mean amplitude of lower lip and mentalis muscle during the lip position at maximum biting was negatively correlated with the angle between palatal plane and mandibular plane. In Class III malocclusion, the maximal mean amplitude of upper lip, lower lip and mentalis muscle during function was negatively correlated with the length of maxilla, the maximal mean amplitude of upper lip and lower lip during function was negatively correlated with the SNA and SNPo, and the maximal mean amplitude of lower lip during the lip position at chewing was negatively correlated with the ANB.

본 연구의 목적은 구순이 이완되도록 개구한 상태(relaxed lip position)에서 촬영한 측모 두부방사선사진과 일반적으로 채득하는 중심교합위에서 입술을 다문 상태(closed lip position)의 측모 두부방사선 사진에서 비순각의 변화 양상을 비교하여 안모 분석 시 relaxed lip position의 중요성을 검토하는 것이다. 전치부 반대교합을 보이는 골격성 III급 부정교합 성인환자(평균 23.3세) 60명(남자 35명, 여자 25명)을 연구대상으로 선정하였다. 구순이 이완되도록 개구한 상태에서와 중심교합 상태에서의 비순각 차이를 비교한 결과 유의성 있는 차이가 있었으며, 비순각의 변화량 사이의 유사성을 기준으로 좀 더 객관적으로 분류하여 분석하고자 군집분석을 통해 제1군(27명, 45%, 구순 이완시 비순각이 감소하는 군), 제2군(30명, 50%, 구순 이완 시 비순각이 증가하는 군), 제3군(3명, 5%, 구순 이완 시 비순각이 예외적으로 크게 증가하는 군)으로 분류하였다. 제1군에서는 상순이 전체적으로 후방 이동되며 비순각은 변화가 없거나 오히려 감소하였으며, 제2군에서는 상순이 후하방 회전되며 비순각이 증가하였다. 제3군에서는 상순이 하순과 하악전치에 의해 상방으로 압박되었다가(compression)이완되며 비순각이 크게 증가하였다. 이상의 연구 결과에서 골격성 III급 부정교합자에서 구순이 이완된 상태에 대해 중심 교합 시의 비순각의 변화가 다양한 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 정확한 안모분석과 수술-교정 치료 후의 연조직 심미성의 예측을 위해 기록 채득과 분석 시 이완된 구순 위치에 대한 고려가 필요하며 이러한 자세로 진단용 방사선 사진을 촬영하는 것이 필요하다고 생각되었다.

이 논문은 입술의 형태와 입술 외곽선 부근의 화소값을 이용하여 입술을 효과적으로 인식하는 방법을 제안하였다. 입술의 형태는 학습 영상을 통계적으로 분석하는 능동적 형태 모델을 기반으로 구성하였다. 이 방법은 탐색시 초기 위치의 영향을 받기 때문에 이 논문에서는 입술의 형태에 기반한 가중치 벡터를 이용하여 두 입술 사이의 경계선을 찾고 탐색의 초기 위치로 사용하였다. 다양한 입술 영상들을 대상으로 실험하여 좋은 결과를 얻었다.

The prime objective of this study was to analyze the positional relationship of the lips to the anterior teeth according to age, sex, and both sides of the dental arch in 381 healthy Korean adults with normal occlusion ranging from 17 to 70 years over old. The results were as follows; 1. In the position of the corner of the mouth to the teeth, the range from center of canine to mesial side of first premolar was revealed the incidence of 81~87%, the distal side of canine was the hiqhest frequency of 39~43%. 2. A straight type (76~79%) of lip line was prevailed against the curved type in rest position. 3. In the exposed type of anterior teeth to upper lip in rest position, type III(50~52%) Grade 2 (26~29%) was revealed the highest frequency of occurences. 4. No significant difference in both sexes and sides of the dental arch was observed. 5. Lip position to the teeth with aging was showed the tendency toward straight type in lip line and toward reduction of the number of exposed type of upper anterior teeth to upper lip, and the corner of the mouth was placed posteriorly.

This study was conducted to determine the electromyographic features in the perioral muscles of class II division 1 malocclusion with incompetent lips, and to grope the correlation between its activities and craniofacial morphology. Tn this study, 14 subjects with class II division 1 malocclusion with incompetent lips(mean age of 20.5 years) and 20 subjects with normal occlusion(mean age of 23.9 years) were investigated. Electromyographic data were recorded from orbicularis oris, mentalis, buccinator and suprahyoid muscles durig rest lip posture, lip position at sealing, maximum sealing, maximal blowing, maximal biting, sipping milk, sipping and swallowing milk, chewing gum, masticating almond, swallowing almond and phonation utilizing the Medelec MS-25 electromyographic apparatus. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken with the mandible in intercuspal position on all subjects. All data were recorded statistically processed. The findings of this study can be summerized as follows : 1. In class II division 1 malocclusion with incompetent lips, the overall augmentations of perioral muscle activities during various functionel movements set for lip sealing were manifested and particular swelling in mentalis activity at rest was detected. 2. On the other hand remarkable diminution of upper lip acitivities at lip sealing movements was drawn. 3. In Class II division 1 malocclusion with incompetent lips, negative correlations existed between the diversity of upper lip activities and upper incisor position and overjet as well in contrast to positive correlations in the lower lip. 4. It was suggested that the abnormal function of lower lip and mentalis muscle contributed somewhat the revelation of the characteristics of Class II division 1 malocclusion.

The extraction of lip region is essential to Lip Reading, which is a field of image processing to get some meaningful information by the analysis of lip movement from human face image. Many conventional methods to extract lip region are proposed. One is getting the position of lip by using geometric face structure. The other discriminates lip and skin regions by using color information only. The former is more complex than the latter, however it can analyze black and white image also. The latter is very simple compared to the former, however it is very difficult to discriminate lip and skin regions because of close similarity between these two regions. And also, the accuracy is relatively low compared to the former. Conventional analysis of color coordinate systems are mostly based on specific extraction scheme for lip regions rather than coordinate system itself. In this paper, the method for selection of effective color coordinate system and chromaticity transformation to discriminate these two lip and skin region are proposed.

This comparative study was undertaken to investigate the position of the hyoid bone in unilateral cleft lip and palate individuals. The materials for this study consisted of 35 subjects with surgically repaired unilateral cleft lip and palate (25 males, 10 females) and 40 subjects with normal facial morphology (20 males, 20 females). Cephalometric measurements of unilateral cleft and palate individuals were compared with those of non-cleft individuals. The conclusions of this study were obtained as follows: 1. To the anterior cranial base, the hyoid bone in unilateral cleft lip and palate individuals was located downward as compared with non-cleft individuals. 2. To the mandible, the hyoid bone in unilateral cleft lip and palate individuals was located backward as compared with non-cleft individuals. 3. The distance between the dorsum of the tongue and the inferior border of the hard palate in unilateral cleft lip and palate individuals was longer than that in non-cleft individuals. 4. Unilateral cleft lip and palate individuals showed no significant difference in the distance between the hyoid bone and the dorum of the tongue as compared with non-cleft individuals.

Functionally, the lip serves to prevent food and drink from spilling out of the beginning of the gastrointestinal tract, and it is also used for vocalization. In addition, the lip has cosmetic importance as part of the face involved in making expressions, and in many cultures, it is considered to be sexually appealing. The results of lip reconstruction procedures must therefore be both functionally and cosmetically satisfactory. When the orbicularis oris muscle and oral mucosa are excised, functional reconstruction is prioritized. In contrast, if there are no functional problems, cosmetic reconstruction is the main focus. This case involved the reconstruction of a right upper lip defect caused by a dog bite. When the skin defect was covered with a local flap, the right angulus oris shifted medially, so we incorporated a YV flap at the right angulus oris to modify its position and allow for a cosmetically satisfactory result. We believe that this method can be used not only for cases in which asymmetry of the angulus oris is expected to occur at the time of lip reconstruction, but also for cases in which it has already occurred in the initial operation.
