본 연구는 순$\cdot$구개열자의 호흡과 발음, 그리고 안모 성장에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 기도에 대한 평가를 위해 시행되었다. 이를 위해 부산대학교병원 치과교정과에 내원한 완전 편측성 순$\cdot$구개열자 78명(남성 48명, 여성 30명)의 측모두부규격방사선 사진을 촬영하여 상기도 및 설골에 대한 전후방적, 수직적 거리 및 각도를 계측하였다. 연구대상은 사춘기성장급등기를 기준으로 두 집단으로 나누었고, 각각의 집단을 다시 남녀 성별에 따라 구분하여 비교하였다. 계측된 자료들을 통계처리하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 사춘기 성장급등기 이후 남녀 모두에서 설골 위치가 보다 낮아졌다. 2. 사춘기 성장급등기 이후 남녀 모두에서 인두 용적에 관계된 CV3ia-APH, PNS-ad수치가 크게 증가하였는데, 이는 adenoid감소와 하악의 전하방 성장과 관련된 것으로 사춘기 이후 호흡 및 발음의 변화에 영향을 미친다. 3. 사춘기 성장급등기를 이후 남성에서 모든 계측항목이 여성보다 큰 증가를 보였으며, 이는 성별간 성장량의 차이에 따른 것으로 판단된다. 4. 남녀 성별간 비교에서 사춘기 성장급등기 전후 시기 모두에서 남성의 설골 위치가 여성보다 낮았다. 5. 남녀 성별간 비교에서 사춘기 성장급등기 이후 남성에서 CV3ia-APH수치가 매우 크게 증가했고, 이는 남성의 하악골 성장이 보다 커 악이복근등 근활성이 야기되었기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

현대 교정의 치료 목표는 기능 교합과 안모의 심미성에 있다고 하겠으나 이중 심미적 외모에 대한 중요성은 시대의 흐름에 따라 점차 증가하고 있다. 이런 상황에서 경조직과 연조직의 성장과 발육에 대한 지식은 필수적이라 하겠다. 이전의 연구는 주로 두부방사선적 연구를 통한 골격적 분석에 치중하여 왔다. 하지만 안모의 심미성에 관해 중요한 역할을 하는 악안면 연조직은 하부경조직의 영향을 받지만 긴밀한 연관 관계를 구하기는 어렵다는 연구들이 근래에 보고되었다. 이에 본 저자는 성장기 한국인 3-11세 아동 중에 전신 질환이 없고 발육 상태가 양호하며 교합 상태가 정상인 남자 137명과 여자 106명을 대상으로 만 2년간 두부 방사선 사진을 채득하여 연조직의 분석을 facial form, lip position & posture, Nose, Thickness의 4 부분으로 나누어 성장과의 관계를 연구한바 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다. 1. Facial Form Facial convexity가 남자 아동에 있어서 약간의 증가량을 보였는데 이는 A-Sn의 증가율이 남자 아동에서 큰 것과 관련이 있는 듯하다. 또한 안면 하방 구조가 시간이 지남에 따라 상방 구조보다 더 많은 성장이 일어났다. 2. Lip position and posture Nasolabial angle은 연령에 따라 큰 변화가 없는 것으로 보이며 이 평균값은 남자 93.11, 여자 97.56으로 서양인의 102보다는 예각을 보였으며 Esthetic line에 대한 돌출도는 대체로 큰 변화가 없었다. 남자 아동이 여자 아동보다 입술의 돌출도가 더 큰 값을 보였는데 이는 심미적 이유로 발치를 고려할 때 차이를 보일 수 있는 결과라고 하겠다. 상악 전치의 노출도는 남녀 공히 2-3mm의 값을 보였다. 3. Nose 비저의 절대적 길이는 성장에 따라 증가하는데 비해 Sn-N'-Pn은 연령 증가의 변화가 없었는데 이는 코의 성장이 전하방으로 이루어지기 때문이다. 4. Thickness A-Sn의 길이는 남녀 아동에 있어서 연령에 따라 증가하였는데 그중 남자 아동에 있어서 변화폭이 컸다. 상순 후경과 하순 후경 역시 연령에 따라 증가하였으나 Pogonion의 연조직 두께는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았는데 이는 다른 연구 결과와 유사한 결과이다.

Orthodontic treatment of cleft patients is difficult as the growth is different from that of normal ones. So it is very important to know the characteristic features of the craniofacial morphology and growth pattern in unilateral cleft lip and palate patients. The materials for this study consisted of 55 normal males and 50 unilateral cleft lip and palate ones who received cheiloplasty and palatoplasty previously. The cleft subjects were divided into 4 groups according to their ages kto find out the growth pattern of hard and soft tissue, and to compare the features with those of normal ones. Each cephalogram analysed by McNamara method and others. The obtained results were as follows 1. In the unilateral cleft lip and palate subjects, forward growth of the maxilla was smaller than that of normal ones from 9 years old. So the maxilla was retruded. The maxillary incisors were severely retruded in all age groups. 2. The mandibular overall length and its anteroposterior position did not show any significant differences between two groups. But the height of ramus was very short and the mandible had vertical growth tendency to compensate for undergrowth of the maxilla in cleft subjects after 12 years of age. 3. Horizontal growth of the soft tissue in middle face was smaller than that of any other facial region from 9 years old. The vertical growth rate of upper lip was decreased as growing old. 4. In cleft subjects, the upper and lower facial component angle and the facial convexity angle were large. So their facial profile changed to straight or concave as growing old.

Objective: To determine Korean facial profile preferences based on lip position as assessed by Hispanic-Americans of varying western adaptation levels and to determine whether the age and sex of the rater had any influence. Methods: For this study, 132 Hispanic-Americans and 68 Caucasians of varying age, sex and western adaptation levels volunteered to rate their preference of Korean male and female facial silhouettes having lips ranging from retruding to protruding. The Hispanic-Americans were also asked to complete a Bidimensional Acculturation Scale questionnaire to determine their western adaptation status: low-acculturated Hispanics (LAH; lesser western-adapted Hispanic participants) or high-acculturated Hispanics (HAH; higher western-adapted Hispanic participants). Results: The LAHs preferred significantly more retruded lip positions (p < 0.05) while HAHs showed some similarities with Caucasian participants in the results for the Korean male profile, even though HAHs preferred more retruded lip positions for the Korean female profile than Caucasians did (p < 0.05). The age and sex of raters did not influence the preference of facial profiles (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that Hispanic-Americans prefer a flatter Korean lip profile. It would be prudent for orthodontists to offer patients the option of altering lip profile through orthodontic and/or orthognathic surgery treatments.

Statement of problem: The meaning of the beauty has a little different nature according to a time, culture, and nation. Purpose : This study was undertaken to estimate the geometric esthetic criteria for Korean woman by analysis of facial photograph in a smiling. Material and methods: The facial photographs of 678 Korean beautiful woman were collected from Miss Korea candidates(from 1971 to 2003 year). The dento-facial composition was measured and analyzed geometrically on computer monitor using $Adobe^{(R)}$ $Photoshop^{(R)}$ 7.0. The statistical significance of the differences among the 4 decade groups was estimated by a $x^2$ test. Result : The Korean beautiful woman skewed the geometric characteristics such as the 'coincidence' (83.0%) between facial midline and dental midline, the 'normal' (96.9%) alignment and arrangement of upper anterior teeth. the 'average' (79.1%) position and 'upward' (53.4%) curvature of upper lip, the 'parallel' (85.7%) relationship between the lower lip and upper anterior incisal curvature, the 'touching' (49.9%) and 'not-touching' (44.8%) relationship between upper anterior incisor and towel lip, the 'first premolar' (54.1%) and 'second premolar' (38.9%) displayed in a smile, and the 'symmetry' (89.4%) of smile. There was statistical significance among the 4 decades in the respect of the upper lip curvature, the relationship between upper anterior incisor and lower lip, and the most posterior teeth displayed in a smile (p<0.05). Conclusion : The Korean beautiful woman showed similar results to the western esthetic criteria in the some respects and the tendency that the Korean woman had more active smiling recently.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship between chin deviation and the positional and morphological features of the mandible and to determine the factors that contributed to chin deviation in individuals with a unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 28 adults with UCLP were analyzed in this study. Segmented three-dimensional temporomandibular fossa and mandible images were reconstructed, and angular, linear, and volumetric parameters were measured. Results: For all 28 individuals, the chin was found to deviate to the cleft side by 1.59 mm. Moreover, among these 28 individuals, only 7 showed distinct (more than 4 mm) chin deviation, which was toward the cleft side. Compared to the non-cleft side, the mandibular body length, frontal ramal inclination, and vertical position of the condyle were lower and inclination of the temporomandibular fossa was steeper on the cleft side. Furthermore, the differences in inclination of the temporomandibular fossa, mandibular body length, ramus length, and condylar volume ratio (non-deviated/deviated) were positively correlated with chin deviation. Conclusions: UCLP individuals show mild chin deviation to the cleft side. Statistical differences were noted in the parameters that represented positional and morphological asymmetries of the mandible and temporomandibular fossa; however, these differences were too small to indicate clinical significance.

Recently, we have launched a large-scale articulatory study to investigate how the three-way contrastive stops (i.e., lenis, fortis, and aspirated) in Korean are kinematically expressed (i.e., in terms of articulatory movement characteristics) in various contexts, using a magnetometer (Electromagnetic Articulography). In this paper, we report some preliminary results about how the three-way bilabial series /p,$p^h,p^*$/ produced in /Ca/ context in isolation are kinematically characterized not only during the lip closure but also during the following vocalic articulation. Some important notes could be made from the results. First, the degree of lip constriction (as measured by the lip aperture between the upper and lower lips) was smaller for the lenis /p/ and larger for the fortis/aspirated /$p^*,p^h$/, showing a two-way distinction during the closure. Second, the tongue lowering for the following vowel was more extreme after the lenis /p/ than after the fortis/aspirated /$p^*,p^h$/. Regarding this vocalic articulatory difference in the tongue height, we discussed the possibility that the articulatory tension associated with the fortis/aspirated stops is further reflected in the lingual vocalic movement maintaining the tongue position to a certain level for the following vowel /a/, while the lenis consonant does not impose such articulatory constraints, resulting in more tongue lowering. Finally, the temporal relationship between the release of the stop closure and the lowest tongue position of the following vowel remained constant, suggesting that CV coordination is invariantly maintained across the consonant type. This pattern was interpreted as supporting the view that the consonant and vowel gestures are coordinated in much the same way across languages.

The present study investigated the effects of two different sources of prosodic strengthening, i.e., boundary and accent, in the articulation of English high front vowels, /i/ and /I/. The vowels were investigated in vowel-initial ('eat' vs. 'it'), /h/-initial ('heat' vs. 'hit') and /p/-initial words ('Pete' vs. 'pit'), which were placed in varying prosodic conditions. Using Electromagnetic Articulograph (EMA), the tongue dorsum positions in the x and y dimensions, the lip opening and the jaw opening (lowering) were measured. With respect to the boundary-induced strengthening, results showed that /i/ and /I/ in vowel-initial words ('eat' - 'it') are produced with a higher tongue position in the domain-intial than domain-medial positions. The fact that the vowels only in the vowel-initial condition showed the domain-intial strengthening (DIS) effect suggests that the DIS effect is localized mainly to the initial position (the locality account). As for the accent-induced strengthening, vowels were produced with a more fronted tongue position and larger lip opening in accented than unaccented positions. This suggests that the presence of accent increases overall sonority of the vowels in various prosodic contexts, and enhances primarily the frontedness of the front high vowels. Taken together, the results indicate that the two types of prosodic strengthening are articulatorily realized differently, supporting the view that they are encoded separately in the speech planning process. The present study also showed the distinction between the two high front vowels in the tongue position (in both the frontedness and the height dimensions), while the jaw did not seem to contribute to the distinction robustly, suggesting that the tongue contributes more in distinguishing the two vowels than the jaw does.

This study is intended to provide a referable information of exposed amount of maxillary central incisor of Korean by ages and gender under rest position. The result of this study will give guidelines for making prothesis. The subjects of this study are patients of Charmgoun Dental Hospital in Busan, Korea. A statistical analysis was conducted after taking digital photos of patients' teeth with a ruler and measuring the length of teeth on the computer program. The results of this study were as follows : 1. The length of maxillary central incisor that exposed under upper lip is decreased by increasing age in rest position.; the average length is 3.455mm in 20s, 2.525mm in 30s, and 1.543mm in 40s. 2. The exposal length in females is more than males, average length is 2.796mm in female and 2.342mm in male. However, there is not significant difference between the genders. 3. The exposed average length of maxiallry central incisor under upper lip is 2.618mm at rest. 4. The clinical crown average length of maxillary central incisor is 10.195mm, but incresing age, there is no significant defference. 5. There is significant difference between the genders in the clinical crown length of maxillary central incisor.; the length is 10.637mm in men, 9.90mm in women.

구순구개열은 악안면의 선천기형중 발생빈도가 가장 높은 것으로 알려져 있으며,출생시부터 성장이 완료되는 시기까지 일관된 치료계획에 의한 종합적인 진료체계가 필수적이다. 구순구개열이 존재할 경우 구개부의 조기 봉합후의 반흔조직 형성으로 인한 치열궁의 협착 또는 중안모의 함몰 경향과 함께 상악 측절치의 선천적 결손 또는 기형치, 전치의 회전과 경사 등이 수반되므로 교정치료에 의한 기능적, 심미적인 치열의 회복이 필요하게 된다. 구순구개열 환자의 교정치료에 있어서 상악치열의 정상적인 배열과 구치부 반대교합의 치료를 위해 상악골 확대가 종종 필요하며, 이를 위하여 Hyrax appliance, Quad-helix 및 Fan-type expansion screw, Jointed fan type expander 등 다양한 장치가 활용될 수 있다. 심하지 않은 구순구개열 환자의 교정치료에서 상악골 확대를 위한 장치의 선택은 환자의 치열궁 형태, 연령, 구치부와 전치부의 치열궁 폭경 등 다양한 요인이 고려되어야 하며, 치료 후 악궁형태의 보정에 특별한 주의를 기울여야 할 것이다.
