상악골과 치조골 전돌을 가진 II급 부정교합 증례 중 상악 치아 발치의 적응증이 아닌 경우와 하악 구치의 전방 이동을 허용할 수 없는 경우 상악 대구치의 원심이동 기법을 사용하게 된다. Pendulum 장치는 환자의 협조도 없이 상악 대구치를 원심 이동시킬 수 있는 효과적인 장치로 소구치를 안정화시키며, 구개측 고정원을 이용할 수 있다. 하지만 구치부 정출로 하안면 고경이 증가할 수 있고, 전치부 전방 이동이 동반되며, 추벽부 조직에 손상을 줄 수 있으므로 장치의 사용과 환자 선택에 신중을 기해야 한다. 이에 pendulum 장치를 사용하여 상악 대구치를 원심 이동시킴으로써 공간 문제를 해결하고, 대구치 관계를 개선한 증례들을 보고하는 바이다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the familial tendency of the patients with mandibular prognathism in three generations and to define the relationship between the familial tendency and the skeletal class III morphology. The probands of this study were 103 orthognathic surgery patients with skeletal Class III malocclusions who had undergone (48 men, 55 women) mandibular set-back surgery. A questionnaire was given to patients who sought surgical treatment for excessive mandibular length, and all answers were confirmed in interviews. Lateral cephalograms were analyzed in cranial base parameters, mandibular positional parameters and mandibular skeletal parameters. In the examined families, 58.3% had at least one member other than the proband who had mandibular prognathism. The affected ratio of total relatives was 4.5%, and the value was higher in first-degree (13.4%) than second-degree (5.9%) and third-degree relatives (1.7%). The affected ratio was 51.9% in the offsprings who had at least one affected father or mother. The comparison of the groups according to the familial tendency showed no significant craniofacial skeletal measurments. In conclusion, skeletal class III malocclusion showed high familial tendency, suggesting a significant genetic influence in the etiology. However, the patient's familial tendency did not show the special craniofacial patterns compare to the subjects without familial tendency.

To investigate the relationship between the calcification stages of mandibular canines and the skeletal maturity stage of the hand-wrist in subjects with normal occlusion and Class III malocclusion, hand-wrist radiographs and panoramic radiographs were taken from subjects of normal occlusions(94 males, 88 females) and Class III malocclusions(75 males, 76 females) who had no systemic diseases and no history of orthodontic or prosthodontic treatment. Fishman's method for the skeletal maturity stages of the hand-wrist and Demirijian's method for the calcification stages of mandibular canines were used and analyzed. The results were as follows : 1. In subjects with normal occlusion and Class III malocclusion, skeletal maturity of the hand-wrist and calcification of mandibular canines at various ages occured earlier in females than in males(p<0.05). 2. Comparing the skeletal maturity stages of the hand-wrist and the calcification stages of mandibular canines between subjects with normal occlusion and Class III malocclusion, there were no significant differences between the groups. 3. The correlation coefficient between the calcification stages of mandibular canines and the skeletal maturity stages of the hand-wrist. in subjects with normal occlusion and Class III malocclusion showed a high association(p<0.01). 4. In stage 4 of the skeletal maturity of the hand-wrist, the frequency distribution of calcification G stage among the various calcification stages was highest both in normal occlusion and in subjects with Class III malocclusion. However, there was no significant difference in the frequency distribution of calcification stages between the groups.

Objective: This study aimed to assess three-dimensional changes in the temporomandibular joint positions and mandibular dimensions after correction of dental factors restricting mandibular growth in patients with Class II division 1 or division 2 malocclusion in the pubertal growth period. Methods: This prospective clinical study included 14 patients each with Class II division 1 (group I) and Class II division 2 (group II) malocclusions. The quad-helix was used for maxillary expansion, while utility arches were used for intrusion (group I) or protrusion and intrusion (group II) of the maxillary incisors. After approximately 2 months of treatment, an adequate maxillary arch width and acceptable maxillary incisor inclination were obtained. The patients were followed for an average of 6 months. Intraoral and extraoral photographs, plaster models, and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were obtained before and after treatment. Lateral cephalometric and temporomandibular joint measurements were made from the CBCT images. Results: The mandibular dimensions increased in both groups, although mandibular positional changes were also found in group II. There were no differences in the condylar position within the mandibular fossa or the condylar dimensions. The mandibular fossa depth and condylar positions were symmetrical at treatment initiation and completion. Conclusions: Class II malocclusion can be partially corrected by achieving an ideal maxillary arch form, particularly in patients with Class II division 2 malocclusion. Restrictions of the mandible in the transverse or sagittal plane do not affect the temporomandibular joint positions in these patients because of the high adaptability of this joint.

III급 부정교합, 특히 전치부 반대 교합은 부모나 주위 사람에 의해 쉽게 인지되기 때문에 비교적 어린 시기에 내원하는 빈도가 높아지고 있다. 이에 따라 치과의사는 치료시기에 대한 결정, 적절한 case의 선택, 장기간에 걸친 치료, 치료후의 재발 등에 대한 심리적 부담감을 안게 되며 보호자 또한 시간적, 경제적인 어려움을 겪게 된다. 그러나, 반대 교합 그 자체는 조기 개선시 상악골의 성장 저해를 막을 수 있으며, 하악 과성장을 억제함으로써 기능성 인 경우에 골격성으로의 발전을 억제 할 수 있다. 그리고 상하악골의 골격 부조화가 매우 크거나 좋은 예후를 기대하기 힘든 골격 구조에 대해서도 정확한 평가가 병행 되어야 한다. 골격성 III급 부정교합으로 내원한 환아를 성장기 동안 치료함으로써 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 상악골의 정상적 인 성장 저해 요소를 제거하고, 하악골의 과성장을 조절해줌으로써 전치부 반대교합을 해소하였다. 2. 상악골과 상악 전치는 전하방으로, 하악골과 하악 전치는 후하방으로 이동하였다. 3. 경조직, 연조직의 변화로 인해 안모의 개선을 나타내었다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the mandibular dental and basal arch forms in subjects with normal occlusion and compare them with those of Class III malocclusion using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: CBCT images of 32 normal occlusion (19 males, 13 females; 24.3 years) and 33 Class III malocclusion subjects (20 males, 13 females, 22.2 years) were selected. Facial axis and root center points were identified from the left to right mandibular first molars. Distances between the facial axis and root center points for each tooth were calculated, and 4 linear and 2 ratio variables were measured and calculated for each arch form. The variables were compared between groups by independent t-test. Pearson correlation coefficient was applied to assess the relationships between dental and basal variables within each group. Results: The mandibular dental and basal intercanine widths were significantly greater in the Class III group than in normal occlusion subjects (p < 0.05). The dental and basal intercanine widths as well as the dental and basal intermolar widths were strongly correlated in normal occlusion and moderately correlated in Class III malocclusion. Conclusions: The dental arch form demon strated a strong positive correlation with the basal arch form in the normal occlusion group and moderate correlation in the Class III malocclusion group. These results might be helpful for clinicians to have a better understanding of the importance of basal arch form in the alveolar bone.

Objective: The absence of a guideline to refer to developing malocclusions appropriately, may be a contributing factor to the inadequacy of timely interceptive orthodontics provision. This study aimed to develop and validate a new orthodontic grading and referral index to be used by dental frontliners to prioritize the orthodontic referral of developing malocclusion in children based on its severity. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving clinical assessment with 413 schoolchildren aged between 8.1 and 11.9 years was conducted in 2018. All the presenting malocclusion was listed and graded based on a few dental guidelines to produce the draft index. The validity and reliability of the draft index were tested using twenty study models. Face and content validation was carried out using the content validation index and Modified Kappa Statistics. Results: Fourteen dental and occlusal anomalies were identified as components of malocclusion and three grades of referral (monitor, standard, urgent) were included in the final index. The scale-level content validity index average value of 0.86 and 0.87 was obtained for content and face validation, respectively. There was moderate to excellent agreement in the Modified Kappa Statistics for both validations. Excellent inter- and intra-assessor agreement was obtained. The new index displayed valid and reliable scores. Conclusions: The Index for Interceptive Orthodontics Referral was developed and validated for the dental frontliners to identify and prioritize the developing malocclusion in children based on its severity and refer for orthodontic consultation to increase the possibility for interceptive orthodontics.

Objective: The study aimed to assess the prevalence of dental malocclusion, orthodontic parameters, and parafunctional habits in children with developmental dyslexia (DD). Methods: Forty pediatric patients (67.5% boys and 32.5% girls, mean age: 11.02 ± 2.53 years, range: 6-15 years) with DD were compared with 40 age- and sex-matched healthy participants for prevalence of dental malocclusion, orthodontic parameters, and parafunctional habits. Dental examinations were performed by an orthodontist. Results: Pediatric patients with DD exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of Angle Class III malocclusion (22.5% vs. 5.0%, P = 0.024), deep bite (27.5% vs. 7.5%, P = 0.019), midline deviation (55.0% vs. 7.5%, P < 0.0001), midline diastemas (32.5% vs. 7.5%, P = 0.010), wear facets (92.5% vs. 15.0%, P < 0.0001), self-reported nocturnal teeth grinding (82.5% vs. 7.5%, P < 0.0001), nail biting (35.0% vs. 0.0%, P < 0.0001), and atypical swallowing (85.0% vs. 17.5%, P < 0.0001) compared to that in healthy controls. Conclusions: Pediatric patients with DD showed a higher prevalence of Class III malocclusion, greater orthodontic vertical and transverse discrepancies, and incidence of parafunctional activities. Clinicians and dentists should be aware of the vulnerability of children with dyslexia for exhibiting malocclusion and encourage early assessment and multidisciplinary intervention.

본 연구는 술 전 교정치료 전 치아 이동 예측치(initial STO)와 술 전 교정치료 후 실측치에 바탕을 둔 STO (final STO)를 비교하고자 시행되었다. 부산대학교병원 치과교정과에 내원하여 교정 및 악교정수술 복합치료를 시행 받은 환자 중 하악만 수술한 환자 40명을 선정하여 상악 제1소구치 발치 여부에 따라 두 그룹(발치 그룹 20명, 비발치그룹 20명)으로 분류하였다. 술 전 교정치료 전의 initial STO, 술 전 교정치료 후의 final STO를 작성하여 각 계측치를 수평, 수직 기준선에 대해 거리를 측정하여 비교하였다. 발치 그룹의 두 STO 비교 시 수직적으로 상악 중절치 절단연과 치근단, 상악 제1대구치 협측교두에서, 수평적으로 상악 중절치 절단연, 상악 제1대구치 근심협측교두, 하악 중절치 치근단, 하악 제1대구치 근심면과 근심협측교두에서 차이를 보였으며 비발치 그룹의 경우는 수직적으로 하악 중절치 치근단, 수평적으로 상악 중절치 절단연, 하악 중절치 절단연과 치근단, 하악 제1대구치 근심면에서 차이를 보였다. 두 STO의 차이와 initial STO 수립에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 여러 진단 요소와의 상관성 평가 시 상악 치열궁 공간 부족량이 상악 전치의 수평, 수직 및 제1대구치의 수평 위치 예측에 유의한 상관성을 가졌으며 두 그룹 모두 하악 전치 치축 각도와 하악 치열궁 공간 부족량이 하악 전치의 수평 위치 예측에 유의한 상관성을 보였다. Initial STO 작성과 술 전 교정 단계에서 이를 고려하여 진행한다면 좀 더 효율적인 치료 계획 수립 및 전체적인 치료 기간을 줄이는 것에도 도움이 될 것이라 생각한다.
