양악 수술 시 상악골의 상방이동을 시행하였을 경우에 상기도의 공간적 구조변화를 평가하기 위하여, 술전, 술후, 술후 6개월 후의 간격으로 두부규격방사선사진을 촬영하여 그 변화량을 분석해 보았다. 술전 교정치료를 시행하여 상악은 Le Fort I 골절단술로 상방이동 시행하였고 동시에 하악은 후방이동 시키는 수술을 시행 받은 24명을 대상으로 하였다 (평균 연령22세 1개월, 남자 9명 여자 15명). 상악골 상방이동에 대한 상기도 공간의 변화와 그에 따른 관련성을 조사한 결과, PAS (R)부위는 술후 (T1) 감소하였으나 (p<0.01) 술후 6개월 후(T2)에는 다시 증가하여 술전과 비교 시, 크기 변화를 관찰할 수 없었고, PAS (NL) 부위는 술후(T1)와 술후 6개월 후(T2)에서 유의성 있는 크기 증가를 보였다. PAS (OL)의 경우, 술후 (T1)증가를 보이다가 술후 6개월 이후(T2)에서 감소하였다. 연구개의 두께는 술후 (T1) 증가를 보이다가 6개월 이후 (T2) 처음과 같거나 약간 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며 FH-uvular 각도는 술후 6개월 이후 증가하였다. 또한 상악골 상방이동에 대한 상기도 공간의 변화를 회귀분석 시행한 결과 양악수술 시 평균 $4.40{\pm}1.14mm$의 상악골 상방이동은 양악 수술 후 상기도 공간의 변화에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

The facial esthetics are much affected by nasal changes due to especially its central position in relation to facial outline and so appropriately evaluated should be the functional and esthetic aspects of the nose associated with the facial appearance. Generally, a maxillary surgical movement is known to induce the changes of nasolabial morphology secondary to the skeletal repositioning accompanied by muscular retraction. These changes can be desirable or undesirable to individuals according to the direction and amount of maxillary repositioning. We investigated the surgical changes of bony maxilla and its effects to nasal morphology through the analysis of the lateral cephalogram in the Le Fort I osteotomy. Subjects were 10 patients(male 2, female 8, mean age 22.3 years) and cephalograms were obtained 2 weeks before surgery(T1) and 6 months after surgery(T2). The surgical maxillary movement was identified through the horizontal and vertical repositioning of point A. Soft-tissue analysis of the nasal profile was performed employing two angles: nasal tip projection(NTP), columellar angle(CA). Also, alar base width(ABW) was assessed directly on the patients with a slide gauge. The results were as follows; 1. Both anterior and superior movement above 2mm of maxilla rotated up nasal tip above 1mm. Either anterior or superior movement above 2mm of maxilla made prediction of the amount & direction of NTP changes difficult. Especially, a correlation between horizontal movement of maxilla and NTP rotated-up was P<0.01. 2. Both much highly anterior and superior movement of maxilla is accompanied by more CA increase than either highly. Especially, the correlation between horizontal movement of maxilla and CA change was P<0.05. 3. Anterior and/or superior movement of maxilla was accompanied by the unpredictable ABW widening. 4. The amount of changes of NTP, CA, and ABW is not in direct proportion to amout of anterior and/or superior movement of maxilla. 5. Nasal morphologic changes following Le Fort I osteotomy are affacted by not merely bony repositioning but other multiple factors.

Purpose: The aim of this study is the changes of upper respiratory airway space in patients with mandibular prognathism after 2-jaw orthognathic surgery in patients with skeletal classs III malocclusion. Method: We measured the lines between selected upper airway landmarks on lateral cephalometric x-ray films of skeletal class III 64 persons who had not been operated yet, were 6 months after operation. The test subjects were divided into 3 groups according to maxillary movement, as follows; maxillary advancement (MA) group, maxillary posterior impaction (MPI) group, maxillary posterior impaction and superior repositioning (MPI+MSR) group. Result: In this study, nasopharyngeal airway space in MPI+MSR group was significantly increased after operation (p<0.05). Oropharygeal and hypopharyngeal airway space in MA group and MPI group were significantly decreased after operation (p<0.05). From hyoid bone to anterior mandible point distance in MA group and MPI group were significantly decreased after operation (p<0.05). Conclusion: Oropharygeal and hypopharyngeal airway space were influenced more by mandibular set-back than maxillary movement. Maxillary movement surgery as well as mandibular setback surgery should be taken into consideration in order to minimize symptoms related to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome after operation.

A series of 19 cases with maxillary hyperplasia and mandibular retrognathia were operated on by simultaneous superior repositioning of the maxilla after Le Fort I osteotomy and anterior repositioning of the mandible after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomies with or without osteotomy of the inferior border of the mandible. These were evaluated by retrospective cephalometric and computer analysis for the longitudinal skeletal and dental changes for an average of 17.1 months after surgery. For stabilization of the osteotomized segments, the authors used wire osteosynthesis by means of bilateral infraorbital and zygomatic buttress suspension wire at the maxilla, and direct interosseous wire at the split segments of the mandibular rami. Results show generally good stability after simultaneous maxillary and mandibular surgery with wire osteosynthesis, and a minimal to moderate tendency toward skeletal and dental relapse. This article is a preliminary study to defy the efficiency of the wire osteosynthesis (wo)compared with rigid internal fixation (RIF) for simultaneous maxillary and mandibular surgery. 1. The vertical relapse rate of the A point after superior repositioning of the maxilla is 2.2%. 2. The horizontal relapse rate of the B point after advancement of the mandible is 18.3%. 3. The condyle is distracted inferiorly and slightly posteriorly at the immediate postoperative period. 4. At the long term follow up examination, the condyle presents tendency of return to the preoperative position. 5. Condylar segment angle is decreased at the immediate postoperative period, and at the long term follow up evaluation, the angle is increased. 6. Gonial angle is increased at the immediate postoperative period, and then is decreased at the long term follow up evaluation. 7. The dentition is satisfactory with acceptable movement at the long term follow up evaluation. 8. At the mandibular free body analysis, genioplasty shows good stability. 9. Wire osteosynthesis provides excellent stabilization for the simultaneous maxillary and mandibular surgery.

The purpose of this study was to identify the difference of vertical movement of mandible according to Angle's molar relationship and by skeletal factors affect to vertical movement of mandible. 172(age ranged from 20 to 30) subjects who go to college within territory of Kwangju city without any experience of temporomandibular disorder, extraction and orthodontic treatment. were selected for this study. The subjects were classified into class I(male:30, female:49), class II(male:18, female:24) and class III(male:18, female:33) according to Angle's molar relationship. The distance was measured between incisal edge of maxillary and mandibular central incisor and between bottom of central fossa of maxillary and mandibular 1st molar with ruler. The arch length and width were measured on the diagnostic cast. Cephalometrics were taken and then traced. Landmarks were identified and analyzed. 1. Maximal interincisal opening of male is larger than that of female in class I, class II and class III. Among each group maximal interincisal distance is the largest in class III. Maximal intermolar distance of male is superior to that of female in class I, class II, and class III, but there is no siginficant difference among them. 2. On maximal opening movement of Angle's classification class I and class II, total mandibular length, mandibular ramal length, madibular inferior border length and upper arch width were important variables and facial length, upper arch length and lower arch length had negative relationship to that. On maximal opening movement of Angle's class III, the upper arch length, the lower arch length and anterior facial length were important variables especially when compared with class I and II, and upper arch width had negative relationship. These results suggest that maximal opening movement is affected by facial morphology in all classes, but each group is affected by different facial skeletal variables. Accordingly, facioskeletal variables might be considered as diagnosis and treatment to improve the amount of mouth opening.

The Class III malocclusion classified in two types of Skeletal Class III and Pseudo Class III. In the case of the maxillary deficiency, the protraction H-G(facemask) with Bonded RPE can be used. For children with A-P and vertical maxillary deficiency, the preferred treatment is to move the maxilla into a more anterior and inferior position, which also increases its size as bone is added at the posterior and superior sutures. Successful forward repositioning of the maxilla can be accomplished before age 8. To resist tooth movement as much as possible, the maxillary teeth should be splinted together as a single unit. The maxillary appliance must have hooks for attachment to the facemask that are located in the canine-primary molar area above the occlusal plane. The facemask usually worn until a positive overjet of 2-5mm is achieved interincisally. Occipital chin cup is successful in those patients who can bring their incisors close to an edge-to-edge position when in centric relation. This treatment is particularly useful in patients who begin treatment with a short lower anterior facial height, as this type of treatment can lead to an increase in lower anterior facial height. If the pull of the chin cup is directed below the condyle, the force of the appliance may lead to a downward and backward rotation of the mandible.

본 연구의 목적은 pendulum 장치, 미니임플란트를 동반한 pendulum장치(펜듈럼), 오픈코일 스프링 및 미니임플란트를 동반한 오픈코일 스프링 이용 시 각각의 치아이동 양상을 3차원적으로 분석하는 데 있었다. 상악 좌측 치조골 및 치아 모형을 제작하고, Calorific $machine^{(R)}$을 이용하여 모형상에서 대구치를 3 mm 원심 이동시켰다. 실험은 5회씩 반복 실시하였다. 모델을 전산화 단층 촬영한 후 V-$Works^{TM}$를 이용하여 3차원 모델을 제작하였다. $Rapidform^{TM}$상에서 3차원적으로 이동방향과 이동량을 계측하였고, 각각의 장치에 관한 통계적 유의성을 검정하였다. 교정용 미니임플란트를 간접 골성 고정원으로 이용하여 오픈코일 스프링으로 구치부를 원심으로 이동시켰을 때가 치체이동에 가장 가까운 이동양상을 보였고, 고정원 소실도 적게 나타났다 (p < 0.05). 오픈코일 스프링, 펜듈럼 장치 모두 미니임플란트를 부가적으로 이용했을 때 고정원 소실량이 적었다 (p < 0.05). 미니임플란트를 이용하지 않은 경우에는 두 장치의 고정원 소실량이 비슷하였다. 미니임플란트의 이용 여부와 관계없이 펜듈럼 장치로 상악 구치 원심 이동 시 오픈코일 스프링에 비해 제1대구치가 조절성 경사이동 양상으로 이동되었고 (p < 0.05), 제2대구치는 비조절성 경사이동 양상을 보였으며, 치관의 협측경사이동이 일어났다 (p < 0.05). 이와 같은 결과를 근거로 간접 골성 고정원을 이용한 오픈코일 스프링이 상악 구치의 원심 치체이동에 가장 효과적인 장치였으며, 펜듈럼 장치를 이용한 구치부 원심이동 시에는 추가적인 조절이 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

Objective: To investigate how bracket slot size affects the direction of maxillary anterior tooth movement when en-masse retraction is performed in sliding mechanics using an induction-heating typodont simulation system. Methods: An induction-heating typodont simulation system was designed based on the Calorific Machine system. The typodont included metal anterior and resin posterior teeth embedded in a sticky wax arch. Three bracket slot groups (0.018, 0.020, and 0.022 inch [in]) were tested. A retraction force of 250 g was applied in the posterior-superior direction. Results: In the anteroposterior direction, the cusp tip of the canine in the 0.020-in slot group moved more distally than in the 0.018-in slot group. In the vertical direction, all six anterior teeth were intruded in the 0.018-in slot group and extruded in the 0.020- and 0.022-in slot groups. The lateral incisor was significantly extruded in the 0.020- and 0.022-in slot groups. Significant differences in the crown linguoversion were found between the 0.018- and 0.020-in slot groups and 0.018- and 0.022-in slot groups for the central incisor and between the 0.018- and 0.022-in slot groups and 0.020- and 0.022-in slot groups for the canine. In the 0.018-in slot group, all anterior teeth showed crown mesial angulation. Significant differences were found between the 0.018- and 0.022-in slot groups for the lateral incisor and between the 0.018- and 0.020-in slot groups and 0.018- and 0.022-in slot groups for the canine. Conclusions: Use of 0.018-in slot brackets was effective for preventing extrusion and crown linguoversion of anterior teeth in sliding mechanics.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the skeletal and dentoalveolar changes after miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) in young adults by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: This retrospective study included 14 patients (mean age, 20.1 years; range, 16-26 years) with maxillary transverse deficiency treated with MARPE. Skeletal and dentoalveolar changes were evaluated using CBCT images acquired before and after expansion. Statistical analyses were performed using paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test according to normality of the data. Results: The midpalatal suture was separated, and the maxilla exhibited statistically significant lateral movement (p < 0.05) after MARPE. Some of the landmarks had shifted forwards or upwards by a clinically irrelevant distance of less than 1 mm. The amount of expansion decreased in the superior direction, with values of 5.5, 3.2, 2.0, and 0.8 mm at the crown, cementoenamel junction, maxillary basal bone, and zygomatic arch levels, respectively (p < 0.05). The buccal bone thickness and height of the alveolar crest had decreased by 0.6-1.1 mm and 1.7-2.2 mm, respectively, with the premolars and molars exhibiting buccal tipping of $1.1^{\circ}-2.9^{\circ}$. Conclusions: Our results indicate that MARPE is an effective method for the correction of maxillary transverse deficiency without surgery in young adults.

정중 과잉치(mesiodens)는 대개 상악 절치부에서 발견되며, 주로 구개측에 위치하는 경향이 있다. 정중 과잉치의 자연맹출 가능성이 관찰되면, 주기적으로 검사하여 구강내로 충분히 맹출한 후에 단순발치를 시행한다. 주기적 검사에서 자연맹출 소견이 보이지 않거나, 형태이상 혹은 맹출방향의 이상으로 구강 내로 자연맹출 할 가능성이 없으면, 수술적 제거방법을 고려해야 할 것이다. 특히, 인접한 중절치나 측절치의 맹출을 방해하고 있는 상황이 관찰된다면, 빠른 시일 내에 과잉치 제거를 위한 수술적 방법을 시도하는 것이 타당하다. 한편, 외과적 수술의 시기를 늦추는 것을 고려해야 하는 경우도 있다. 정중과잉치가 인접하여 발육중인 정상 치아의 맹출을 방해하지 않는 경우이다. 이때, 삼차원 CT사진을 촬영하여보면, 과잉치 주변으로 영구절치의 치배가 근접하여 성곽처럼 둘러싸고 있는 것을 볼 수 있다. 미성숙한 치배가 둘러 싸고 있는 상황에서, 무리하게 과잉치를 제거하려고 시도할 경우 인접 치배를 손상시킬 가능성을 배제하기 어렵다. 이 점을 고려 한다면, 가급적 인접한 치아의 치근이 보다 발육한 후에 수술을 시도하는 것이 바람직할 것이다. 초등학교 2학년 이상의 어린이들은 외래에서 국소마취하 제거하는 수술방법에 대개 잘 적응하며 고학년이 될수록 보다 수월해진다. 수술시기를 너무 늦추거나, 과잉치가 너무 늦게 발견된 경우 구개측 심부로 깊이 이동한 것을 볼 수 있다. 때로는 과잉치의 위치가 처음부터 심부에 매복되어 있을 수 있다. 이와 같은 경우, 전신마취방법을 생각해 볼 수 있을 것이다. 본 증례는 상악 정중부의 깊은 부위에 역위 매복된 과잉치를 외래에서 국소마취하에 치료를 시도할 때 관찰되는 문제점을 고찰하였고, 전신마취방법을 결정하기 위한 기준을 제시하였다. 심부 매복된 치아의 외과적 발거시 어린이의 행동조절이 가장 큰 문제였으며, 방사선 소견상 과잉치 치관의 위치가 절치의 치근단보다 상방에 위치할 경우 전신마취로 전환 하는 것이 바람직 할 것으로 사료된다.
