본 연구는 한국인의 유치열기 아동, 영구치열기의 구개의 폭, 길이, 구개의 용적, 구개 용적과 구개면적의 상관관계 등을 조사하여 남녀간의 차이, 유치열과 영구치열과의 변화 정도를 파악하고 다양한 구개의 연구를 할 수 있는 기초자료로 삼고자 하였다. 연구대상으로 정상교합의 유치열기 아동(Hellman dental age II A) 100명(남자 50명, 여자 50명)과 영구치열기의 성인(Hellman dental age IV A) 86명(남자 43명, 여자 43명), 총 186명을 대상으로 하여 제작한 상악의 석고모형을 이용하였다. 3차원 laser scanner(DS4060, LDI, U.S.A.), cloud data를 이용하여, polygonization, section curve와 loft surface, 표준평면, 수직평면 등을 얻은 후에 구개용적, 구개의 폭, 구개의 길이 등을 측정하였다(Surfacer 10.0, Imageware, U.S.A). 상수의 결정을 위해 유치열, 영구치열을 남녀별로 구분하여 결과를 구하였으며 남녀간의 차이는 student t-test를 이용하여 검정하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 표준평면과 각 치아, 치아 및 구개사이의 측정점들간의 거리는 영구치열에서 더 멀었다. 2. 영구치열에서의 구개용적이 유치열에서 보다 3배이상 컸으며 특히 영구치열에서는 여자에 비해 남자에서 유의성 있게 크게 측정되었다(p<0.05). 3. 구개폭은 유치열과 영구치열에서 남자에서 유의성 있게 크게 나타났지만 구개길이는 영구치열에서만 유의성 있게 컸다(p<0.05). 4. 유치열과 영구치열, 남자와 여자 모두에서 후구개폭과 총구개길이가 이루는 면적 이 구개용적과 가장 큰 상관관계를 보여주었다(r=0.401, r=0.450, r=0.678, r=0.654).

It is the purpose of this study to characterize oral symptoms and to comprehend the cause and the relapse possibility of patients with open bite. This case study examines the orthodontic treatment of a group of female patients with open bite and Angle's Class I malocclusion. A cephalograph of the patient was taken and tracing of the radiograph was completed. In addition to Bjork and Ricketts analysis, additional measurements of specific areas were taken. The occlusal plane was determined by drawing a line connecting the mesiobuccal cusp tip of the maxillary first molar and the incisal edge of the maxillary central incisors. Patients were divided into two groups depending on the relationship between the marginal ridge of the maxillayy first premolar and the drawn line. Those patients with marginal ridges above the occlusal plane were placed into Group 1, while Group 2 subjects exhibited marginal ridges lower than the occlusal plane. The common characteristics within each group and the characteristic differences between each group both prior to and after orthodontic treatment were examined, and finally, the functional oral volume of each patient was analyzed. The results of the case study were as follows: 1. An examination of the skeletal relationship and anatomical form for both Group 1 and 2 showed that all subjects exhibited hyperdivergent skeletal forms, but Group 2 subjects generally demonstrated underdevelopment of the mandible and a smaller articular angle, resulting in an anterior positioning tendency of the mandible. 2. An analysis of the maxillary arches of Group 1 subjects prior to and after orthodontic treatment showed that the antero-inferior direction had changed to an antero-superior directional tendency, while the maxillary arches of the Group 2 patients showed a trend from an antero-superior direction to an antero-inferior relationship. The mandibular arches in both groups showed a change to an antero-superior direction. 3. Functional space analysis showed that Group 2 patients exhibited a greater tendency of haying palatal planes that drop in a postero-inferior direction, resulting in a more severe open bite than their Group 1 counterparts. The results of this case study show that although patients belonging to either Group 1 or 2 exhibited few external differences in the appearance of open bite, an examination of the dental and skeletal relationships by analyzing patient cephalographs showed that patients presenting with flat maxillary occlusal planes exhibited more severe open bite relationships than patients with curved occlusal planes.
