Background: A 9-year-old male showed severe defects in midface structures, which resulted in maxillary hypoplasia, ocular hypertelorism, relative mandibular prognathism, and syndactyly. He had been diagnosed as having Apert syndrome and received a surgery of frontal calvaria distraction osteotomy to treat the steep forehead at 6 months old, and a surgery of digital separation to treat severe syndactyly of both hands at 6 years old. Nevertheless, he still showed a turribrachycephalic cranial profile with proptosis, a horizontal groove above supraorbital ridge, and a short nose with bulbous tip. Methods: Fundamental aberrant growth may be associated with the cranial base structure in radiological observation. Results: The Apert syndrome patient had a shorter and thinner nasal septum in panthomogram, PA view, and Waters' view; shorter zygomatico-maxillary width (83.5 mm) in Waters' view; shorter length between the sella and nasion (63.7 mm) on cephalogram; and bigger zygomatic axis angle of the cranial base (118.2°) in basal cranial view than a normal 9-year-old male (94.8 mm, 72.5 mm, 98.1°, respectively). On the other hand, the Apert syndrome patient showed interdigitating calcification of coronal suture similar to that of a normal 30-year-old male in a skull PA view. Conclusion: Taken together, the Apert syndrome patient, 9 years old, showed retarded growth of the anterior cranial base affecting severe midface hypoplasia, which resulted in a hypoplastic nasal septum axis, retruded zygomatic axes, and retarded growth of the maxilla and palate even after frontal calvaria distraction osteotomy 8 years ago. Therefore, it was suggested that the severe midface hypoplasia and dysostotic facial profile of the present Apert syndrome case are closely relevant to the aberrant growth of the anterior cranial base supporting the whole oro-facial and forebrain development.

저자는 1999년 6월부터 2000년 4월까지 경북대학교병원 구강악안면외과에서 하악골 후퇴를 위해 SSRO 혹은 LeFort I 골 절단술을 동반한 SSRO를 시행받은 환자 42명을 대상으로 술전, 술후 1개월, 술후 6개월에 각각 MKG를 이용하여 하악운동량 및 양상을 조사하고 이를 몇 가지 요소에 따라 군으로 나누어 계측치를 측정, 연구한 바 아래와 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 남녀 성별에 따른 두 군 사이에서, 좌측운동량의 변화 및 최대 개구속도의 변화량은 유의한 차이가 있었으며(p<0.05), 그 외의 항목은 차이가 없었다. 2. SSRO만을 시행 받거나 혹은 LeFort I을 동반하여 SSRO를 시행받을 경우, 수술방법에 따른 하악운동량의 변화는 유의성이 없었다.(p>0.05) 3. 하악골이동량에 따른 세 군에서 각 군사이의 하악운동량의 변화는 좌측 측방운동량에서는 $6{\sim}10mm$의 이동군이 가장 우수하였으며(p<0.05), 그 외의 항목은 통계적 유의성이 없었다. 4. 하악골의 개폐구 양상은 전두면 상에서 술전이 복잡편향형, 단순편향형, 복잡편위형, 단순편위형, 직선형 순이었고 술후 1개월에서는 단순편향형, 단순편위형, 복잡편위형, 직선형, 복잡편향형 순이며, 술후 6개월에서는 술전과 같은 순서였다. 또한 시상면상에서는 술전에 비일치형이, 술후 1개월에서는 일치형이 술후 6개월에서는 다시 비일치형이 우세하였다. 5. 술전 관절증의 증상유무에 따른 두 군사이의 하악운동량의 변화에는 통계적 유의성이 없었다(p>0.05). 6. 과두재위치장치를 적용한 군과 적용하지 않은 군에서, 두 군사이의 하악운동량의 변화에는 유의성이 없었다(p>0.05). 7. 술전 관절증이 있었던 환자중 술후 관절증의 완화가 나타난 경우가 63% 였으며, 과두재위치장치를 적용하지 않은 군에서 술후 관절증의 완화가 더 유의성있게 나타났다(p<0.05).를 보였으며 복합 레진은 유의차가 없었다. 상악 견치 (8%), 하악 제 1소구치 (5%) 순이었다. 10. I군에서 추정되는 낭의 발생 원인으로는 치수절단술을 받은 유치가 59.2%로 가장 많았고 이외에 심한 우식 및 치료 받지 않은 외상 병력등 기타 가능한 원인들이 있었다. 11.함치성 낭의 치료법으로는 I군의 경우 61.2%에서 조대술이 시행되었고, II군과 III군의 경우 61.1%, 80.0%에서 적출술이 시행되었다.mH I처치시 SM1과 SM2는 4조각의 절편으로 절단되어 같은 양상을 보였고, GS톤의 경우는 3조각의 절편으로 절단되었다. Kpn I, Sma I, Xho I 그리고 Pst I에는 절단되지 않았다.s subsp. salicinius와 유전자 유사치가 99.60%, 99.73%를 보여 Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salicinius로 동정되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 치아우식증이 없는 소아의 타액에서 분리된 유산균 중 과산화수소를 분비하여 인공치태 형성과 휘발성 유황화합물 생성을 억제하는 분리균주는 Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salicinius로 동정되었다.적으로 낮은 수축률과 우수한 물성을 보였으며, 나노필러를 사용한 복합레진의 경우, 기존의 hybrid 필러를 이용한 레진에 비하여 수축응력을 감소시키지는 못하였다. 나노필러를 이용한 복합레진은 개발의 초기단계이며, 물성의 증가를 위한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.또 다른 약물인 glycyrrhetinic acid($100{\mu}M$)도 CCh 자극으로 인한 타액분비를 억제하였다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 gap junction은 흰쥐 악하선 세포로부터의 타액분비 조절에 중요한 역할을 하는데, 이는 gap junction이 세포막 $Ca^{2+}$ 통로를 조절함으로써 수용체 자극으로 유발된 세포내

본 연구는 Quick Ceph Image $Pro^{TM}$(ver 3.0)와 국내에서 개발되어 사용 중인 $V-Ceph^{TM}$(ver 3.5) 2 종의 비디오 이미지 예측 프로그램의 수술 후 연조직 측모의 정확성과 신뢰성에 대해서 알아보고자 시행되었다. 골격성 III급 부정교합으로 진단되어 수술 전 교정 치료를 받고. 하악골 후퇴 수술(body osteotomy 또는 SSRO)을 시행한 남녀 환자 각각 20명을 대상으로 하였다. 나이는 평균 $21.4\pm4$세이고, 수술 전 측모두부방사선계측사진은 수술 전 평균 21.1일에 수술 후 측모두부방사선계측사진은 수술 후 평균 335.7일에 촬영되었으며, 예측치와 실측치 차이를 비교하였다. 연구결과 Quick Ceph과 V-Ceph 모두 예측치와 실측치 사이에 크기와 방향에 있어서 오차가 관찰되었으며, 이러한 오차는 상순과 하순. 턱과 연관된 항목에서 크게 나타났다 (p<0.05). Quick Ceph은 A'. Ls, Li의 수평적 위치 및 각 부분에서의 연조직 두께(U1-Ls, L1-Li, Pog-Pog')의 수평거리 예측에서, V-Ceph은 하순의 수직적 위치 예측에서 오차가 컸다 (p<0.05) V-Ceph의 경우 하악골의 이동양이 증가할때 Sn의 수직적 위치, Ls의 수평적 위치 상순의 연조직 두께 (U1 -Ls)처럼 상순과 연관된 계측치에서 예측오차가 컸으며, Quick Ceph의 경우 하악골의 이동양이 증가할 때 하순의 수평위치 및 하순의 두께에서의 예측오차가 작았다 (P<0,05) 또한, 연조직의 두께에 따른 오차를 평가한 결과, Quick Ceph의 경우 상순과 하순의 두께가 두꺼울수록 각각에 관련된 연조직 예측의 오차가 컸으며 (P<0.05). V-Ceph의 경우 하순과 턱의 연조직 두께가 두꺼울수록 턱의 연조직 예측의 오차가 크게 관찰되었다 (p<0.05). 그러나 본 연구에서의 모든 예측오차 값은 3mm 이내로 계측되었으며, 이러한 오차 범주는 임상적으로 허용 가능한 수준인 것으로 생각된다.

심한 골격성 전후방 및 수직적 악골 부조화를 동반하는 경우는 교정치료 만으로는 만족할 만한 결과를 얻기 어렵고 많은 전후방적인 이동과 치료의 안정성을 얻기 위하여 교정치료와 동반한 악교정수술이 필요하다. 하악전돌증 환자에서의 치료의 목적은 저작, 발음 등 악구강계의 기능을 개선하고 안모의 심미성을 증진시키는 한편 안정성을 유지하는 데에 있다. 악교정수술에 의한 하악골의 이동으로 위치의 변화를 보이는 조직으로는 설골, 인두, 혀 등이 있다. 악교정수술을 동반한 교정치료를 받은 골격성 하악전돌증 환자에서 주위 조직들에서 변화 양상을 관찰하고 악교정수술 전후와 보정기간 후의 회귀나 재발에 의한 설골, 인두, 혀 및 상하순의 변화를 살펴보기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 본 연구에서는 하악전돌증을 주소로 내원하여 하악상행지 시상골절단술을 동반한 교정치료를 받은 환자 22명의 측모두부방사선 규격사진을 수술 전 (T1),수술 후 (T2), 교정장치의 제거 2년 보정 후 (T3) 3회에 걸쳐 계측 및 비교한 후 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 수술 후 설골이 상악골 및 교합평면에 대해 시계방향으로 회전하였으며 보정기간 후 회귀함을 보여주었다. 2. 하악골의 수술에 의한 후방이동 후 설골이 후하방으로 이동하였으며 보정기간 후 상전방으로 회귀함을 보여주었다. 3. 인두의 깊이 변화는 상부에서 수술직후 약간 감소하는 경향을 보여 주었으나 보정 전후에 전반적으로 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 4. 혀의 기저부와 관련해서는 혀 기저부 각 (Cv4ia-hy-pt)이 감소하고, 혀의 기저부 배면이 후하방으로 변화하는 양상을 보여주었으며 보정기간 후에 상방으로 변화하였다. 5. 상하순의 두께는 상순에서는 수술 후 감소하였다가 다시 증가하는 양상을, 하순이하의 연조직에서 두께가 증가하였다가 감소하는 형태로 나타났다. 이는 하순에서는 수술 후 잉여 연조직에 의한 두께의 증가가 나타나고 상순에서는 구륜근에 의한 장력에 의해 상순의 두께가 감소하였다가 보정 기간 후 새로운 악골 위치로 적응하는 것으로 생각된다.

This study was conducted to patients visited oral maxillo-facial surgery, KNUH and the purpose of the study was to assess skeletal and dento-alveolar stability after surgical-orthodontic correction treated by skeletal Class III malocclusion patients with open bite versus non-open bite. This retrospective study was based on the examination of 40 patient, 19 males and 21 females, with a mean age 22.3 years. The patients were divided into two groups based on open bite and non-open bite skeletal Class III malocclusion patients. The cephalometric records of 40 skeletal Class III malocclusion patients (open bite: n = 18, non-open bite: n = 22) were examined at different time point, i.e. before surgery(T1), immediately after surgery(T2), one year after surgery(T3). Bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy was performed in 40 patients. Rigid internal fixation was standard method used in all patient. Through analysis and evaluation of the cephalometric records, we were able to achieve following results of post-surgical stability and relapse. 1. There was no significant statistical differences between open bite and non-open bite with skeletal Class III malocclusion patients in maxillary occlusal plane angle of pre-operative stage(p>0.05). 2. Mean vertical relapses of skeletal Class III malocclusion patients with open bite were $0.02{\pm}1.43mm$ at B point and $0.42{\pm}1.56mm$ at Pogonion point. In skeletal Class III malocclusion patients with non-open bite, $0.12{\pm}1.55mm$ at B point and $0.08{\pm}1.57mm$ at Pogonion point. There was no significant statistical differences between open bite and non-open bite with skeletal Class III malocclusion patients in vertical relapse(p>0.05). 3. Mean horizontal relapses of skeletal Class III malocclusion patients with open bite were $1.22{\pm}2.21mm$ at B point and $0.74{\pm}2.25mm$ at Pogonion point. In skeletal Class III malocclusion patients with non-open bite, $0.92{\pm}1.81mm$ at B point and $0.83{\pm}2.11mm$ at Pogonion point. There was no significant statistical differences between open bite and non-open bite with skeletal Class III malocclusion patients in horizontal relapse(p>0.05). 4. There were no significant statistical differences between open bite and non-open bite with skeletal Class III malocclusion patients in post-surgical mandibular stability(p>0.05). and we believe this is due to minimized mandibular condylar positional change using mandibular condylar positioning system and also rigid fixation using miniplate 5. Although there was no significant relapse tendency observed at chin points, according to the Pearson correlation analysis, the mandibular relapse was influenced by the amount of vertical and horizontal movement of mandibular set-back(p=0.05, r>0.304).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to perform three-dimensional (3D) assessment of facial soft tissue in patients with skeletal Class III and mandibular asymmetry after orthognathic surgery. Methods: Samples consisted of 3D facial images obtained from five patients with A point-nasion-B point angle less than 2 degrees, and more than 5 mm of menton deviation. All patients had been treated at Gangneung-Wonju National University Dental Hospital from 2009 to 2012. They had undergone orthognathic surgery of Lefort I, and sagittal split osteotomy for correction of skeletal deformity, and orthodontic treatment. Facial scanning was performed before treatment (T1) and post-surgical orthodontic treatment (T2). Linear and angle variables of soft tissue landmarks, antero-posterior facial depth, and facial volume were measured. Results: No significant differences in width of the alar base, mouth width, and nasal canting were observed between T1 and T2. However, lip deviation, menton deviation, alar canting, lip canting, and menton deviation angle were significantly reduced at T2. Antero-posterior facial depth on the axial plane parallel to the left cheilion was significantly reduced on the deviated side and significantly increased on the non-deviated side at T2. Volume of the lower lateral and lower medial parts of the face was reduced on the deviated side, and volume of upper lateral and lower lateral parts on the non-deviated side was significantly increased at T2. Conclusion: After orthognathic surgery, facial asymmetry of soft tissue was improved following skeletal changes, especially the mandibular region. Although the length of the alar base and mouth width did not change, lip and soft tissue menton were displaced to the medial side after treatment. Facial depth also became symmetric after treatment. Facial volume showed a decrease on the lower part of the deviated side and that on lateral parts of the non-deviated side showed an increase after treatment.

Background: Along with the advances in technology of three-dimensional (3D) printer, it became a possible to make more precise patient-specific 3D model in the various fields including oral and maxillofacial surgery. When creating 3D models of the mandible and maxilla, it is easier to make a single unit with a fused temporomandibular joint, though this results in poor operability of the model. However, while models created with a separate mandible and maxilla have operability, it can be difficult to fully restore the position of the condylar after simulation. The purpose of this study is to introduce and asses the novel condylar repositioning method in 3D model preoperational simulation. Methods: Our novel condylar repositioning method is simple to apply two irregularities in 3D models. Three oral surgeons measured and evaluated one linear distance and two angles in 3D models. Results: This study included two patients who underwent sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) and two benign tumor patients who underwent segmental mandibulectomy and immediate reconstruction. For each SSRO case, the mandibular condyles were designed to be convex and the glenoid cavities were designed to be concave. For the benign tumor cases, the margins on the resection side, including the joint portions, were designed to be convex, and the resection margin was designed to be concave. The distance from the mandibular ramus to the tip of the maxillary canine, the angle created by joining the inferior edge of the orbit to the tip of the maxillary canine and the ramus, the angle created by the lines from the base of the mentum to the endpoint of the condyle, and the angle between the most lateral point of the condyle and the most medial point of the condyle were measured before and after simulations. Near-complete matches were observed for all items measured before and after model simulations of surgery in all jaw deformity and reconstruction cases. Conclusions: We demonstrated that 3D models manufactured using our method can be applied to simulations and fully restore the position of the condyle without the need for special devices.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical, biomechanical, and histologic changes in new distraction osteogenesis(DO) technique combined with a compression stimulation in accordance to different compression-distraction force ratio. 23 adult male rabbits underwent open-osteotomy at the mandibular body area and a external distraction device was applied. In the control group of 8 rabbits, only a 8 mm of distraction was performed by conventional DO technique. In an experimental group of 15 rabbits, a distraction followed by a compression force was performed according to the ratio of compression-distraction suggested by authors. The rate of experimental group I was set up as a 2 mm compression versus 10 mm distraction and the rate of experimental group II was set up as a 3 mm compression versus 11 mm distraction. All the rabbits were sacrificed for a gross finding, biomechanical, histomorphometric and histologic findings at the time of 55 days from the operation day. The results were as follows: 1. On the gross findings, because all rabbits had a sufficient healing time, every distracted new bone had good bone quality and we could not find any difference among all three groups. 2. In the histologic findings, rapid bone maturation(wide lamellar bone formation in the cancellous and cortical bone areas) was observed in two experimental groups compared to the control group. 3. On the bone density tests, the experimental group II showed higher bone density than the other experimental group and control group(control group-$0,2906g/cm^2$, experimental group I-$0.2961g/cm^2$, experimental group II-$0.3328g/cm^2$). 4. On the biomechanical tests, the experimental group II had significantly higher bone microhardness than the other experimental group and control group(control group-252.7 MPa, experimental group I-263.5 MPa, experimental group II-426.0 MPa). 5. On the microhardness tests, when we compared the hardness ratio of distracted bone versus normal bone, we could find experimental group II had significantly higher hardness ratio than the other experimental group and control group(control group-0.47, experimental group I-0.575, experimental group II-0.80). From this study, we could deduce that the modified distraction osteogenesis method with a compression stimulation might improve the quality of bone regeneration and shorten the consolidation period in comparison with conventional distraction osteogenesis techniques.

The purpose of this study is to examine reproducibility of operation plan and 3-dimentional jaw movement patterns by comparing jaw position of STO with post-operative jaw position. Twenty patients with class III dental and skeletal malocclusion who were treated with Le-Fort I osteotomy and B-SSRO were reviewed. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken within two weeks before operation and two days after operation. Cephalometric radiographs were compared and analyzed with orthognathic computer program '$V-Ceph^{TM}$'. Post-operative maxillary advancement was insufficient compared to maxillary advancement through STO. Post-operative setback movement was over compared to mandibular setback movement through STO. But statistically this is not significant. Maxillary vertical location is insignificant on the whole. Especially post-operative maxillary clockwise rotation is significant compared to maxillary rotation through STO. Post-operative maxillary clockwise rotation tendency is generally observed in all patients. So surgeons and staffs must consider this tendency when operation plan is established ans operation is being performed. Using intra or extra oral marking points, face bow, and bite plate will make exact surgery possible.

Introduction: To evaluate the 3-dimensional changes in the pharyngeal airway of skeletal class III patients after bimaxillary surgery. Materials and Methods: The study sample consisted of 18 Korean patients that had undergone maxillary setback or posterosuperior movement and mandibular bilateral sagittal split osteotomy setback surgery due to skeletal class III malocclusion (8 males, 10 females; mean age of 28.7). Cone beam computed tomography was taken 1 month before and 6 months after orthognathic surgery. Preoperative and postoperative volumes of the nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and laryngopharyngeal airways and minimum axial areas of the oropharyngeal and laryngopharyngeal spaces were measured. Moreover, the pharyngeal airway volume of the patient group that had received genioplasty advancement was compared with the other group that had not. Results: The nasopharyngeal and laryngopharyngeal spaces did not show significant differences before or after surgery. However, the oropharyngeal space volume and total volume of pharyngeal airway decreased significantly (P<0.05). The minimum axial area of the oropharynx also decreased significantly. Conclusion: The results indicate that bimaxillary surgery decreased the volume and the minimum axial area of the oropharyngeal space. Advanced genioplasty did not seem to have a significant effect on the volumes of the oropharyngeal and laryngopharyngeal spaces.
