Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the vertical position of maxillary first molar and vertical skeletal measurements in lateral cephalograms by using new linear measurements on the vertical axis of coordinates with calibration. Methods: The vertical position of maxillary first molar (U6-SN), and the conventionally used variables (ConV) and the newly derived linear variables (NwLin) for vertical skeletal patterns were measured in the lateral cephalograms of 103 Korean adults with normal occlusions. Pearson correlation analyses and multiple linear regression analyses were performed with and without calibration using the anterior and posterior cranial base (ACB and PCB, respectively) lengths to identify variables related to U6-SN. Results: The PCB-calibrated statistics showed the best power of explanation. ConV indicating skeletal hyperdivergency was significantly correlated with U6-SN. Six NwLin regarding the position of palatal plane were positively correlated with U6-SN. Each multiple linear regression analysis generated a two-variable model: sella and nasion to palatal plane. Among the three models, the PCB-calibrated model yielded highest adjusted R2 value, 0.880. Conclusions: U6-SN could be determined by the vertical position of the maxilla, which could then be used to plan the amount of molar intrusion and estimate its clinical stability. Cephalometric calibration on the vertical axis of coordinates by using PCB for vertical linear measurements could strengthen the analysis itself.

골격성 III급 부정교합은 크게 하악이 과성장인 경우, 상악이 열성장인 경우, 이 두가지의 복합으로 나타나는데 이중 상악의 열성장으로 인한 성장기 골격성 III급 부정교합 환자에서는 상악골에 악정형력을 가하여 상악골을 전방견인 함으로써 보다 효과적인 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 이에 상악골 견인장치 중 현재 많이 쓰이는 RME와 Facial mask를 사용하여 치료한 34명(남자 9명, 여자 25명)의 환자를 대상으로 치료결과 FH/palatal plane, SNA, SNB, LFH의 변화량을 기준으로하여 각각의 변화량에 따라 두군으로 분류하여 치료 전, 후 상악골 및 하악골의 변화 양상과 수직적인 고경에 차이가 있는지를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 상악골 전방견인 장치를 사용한 모든 환자에서 상악골의 전방이동과 하악골의 후하방회전이 일어났으며 대부분의 환자에서 구개평면은 상방경사되는 경향을 보였다. 2. Facial mask사용결과 구개평면이 상방경사된 군(FH/pal 1군)은 구개평면이 하방경사된군(FH/pal 2군)에 비해 상악골의 전방이동이 많이 일어났다. 3. Facial mask 사용결과 상악골의 전방이동량이 많은 군(SNA 1군)은 상대적으로 하악골의 후방이동량은 적게 나타나고 구개평면이 상방경사되는 경향을 보였다. 4. Facial mask사용결과 하악골의 후방이동이 많이 일어난 군(SNB 1군)은 상대적으로 상악골의 전방이동은 적게 나타나며 하악골의 후방이동은 하방회전과 함께 나타나서 수직적인 증가 특히 전안면부위의 증가를 일으킨다. 5. LFH 증가량에 의해 분류된 두 군 사이의 비교에서 치료 전 saddle angle이 크고 상악골 및 하악골이 후방에 위치하던 군이 saddle angle이 작고 하악골이 전방위치되어 있는 군에 비해 하안면고경의 큰 증가없이 상악골 전방견인이 이루어졌다.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) on changes in airflow in the upper airway (UA) of an adult patient with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) using computational fluid-structure interaction analysis. Methods: Three-dimensional UA models fabricated from cone beam computed tomography images obtained before (T0) and after (T1) MARPE in an adult patient with OSAS were used for computational fluid dynamics with fluid-structure interaction analysis. Seven and nine cross-sectional planes (interplane distance of 10 mm) in the nasal cavity (NC) and pharynx, respectively, were set along UA. Changes in the cross-sectional area and changes in airflow velocity and pressure, node displacement, and total resistance at maximum inspiration (MI), rest, and maximum expiration (ME) were investigated at each plane after MARPE. Results: The cross-sectional areas at most planes in NC and the upper half of the pharynx were significantly increased at T1. Moreover, airflow velocity decreased in the anterior NC at MI and ME and in the nasopharynx and oropharynx at MI. The decrease in velocity was greater in NC than in the pharynx. The airflow pressure in the anterior NC and entire pharynx exhibited a decrease at T1. The amount of node displacement in NC and the pharynx was insignificant at both T0 and T1. Absolute values for the total resistance at MI, rest, and ME were lower at T1 than at T0. Conclusions: MARPE improves airflow and decreases resistance in UA; therefore, it may be an effective treatment modality for adult patients with moderate OSAS.

Objective: We sought to determine the predictors of midpalatal suture expansion by miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) in young adults. Methods: The following variables were selected as possible predictors: chronological age, palate length and depth, midpalatal suture maturation (MPSM) stage, midpalatal suture density (MPSD) ratio, the sella-nasion (SN)-mandibular plane (MP) angle as an indicator of the vertical skeletal pattern, and the point A-nasion-point B (ANB) angle for anteroposterior skeletal classification. For 31 patients (mean age, 22.52 years) who underwent MARPE treatment, palate length and depth, MPSM stage and MPSD ratio from the initial cone-beam computed tomography images, and the SN-MP angle and ANB angle from lateral cephalograms were assessed. The midpalatal suture opening ratio was calculated from the midpalatal suture opening width measured in periapical radiographs and the MARPE screw expansion. Statistical analyses of correlations were performed for the entire patient group of 31 subjects and subgroups categorized by sex, vertical skeletal pattern, and anteroposterior skeletal classification. Results: In the entire patient group, the midpalatal suture opening ratio showed statistically significant negative correlations with age, palate length, and MPSM stage (r = -0.506, -0.494, and -0.746, respectively, all p < 0.01). In subgroup analyses, a strong negative correlation was observed with the palate depth in the skeletal Class II subgroup (r = -0.900, p < 0.05). Conclusions: The findings of this study indicated that age, palate length, and MPSM stage can be predictors of midpalatal suture expansion by MARPE in young adults.

Objectives: This study was designed to define the Korean norm values for the Ricketts analysis. Methods: In this longitudinal study, lateral cephalograms of 31 subjects with normal occlusion were taken biennially from ages 9-19 years. Cephalometric measurements were performed. Parameters for which the 10-year change did not exceed one standard deviation were defined as unchanged. The means and standard deviations for the measured parameters were determined for each age group. Results: No significant changes in growth were observed in the molar relationship, incisor overjet, incisor overbite, mandibular incisor extrusion, interincisor angle, lower incisor tip (B1) to A point-Pogonion (A-PO) plane, upper incisor tip (A1) to A-PO plane, B1 inclination to A-PO, A1 inclination to A-PO, B1 inclination to Frankfurt plane (FH), convexity, lower facial height, facial axis, maxillary depth, maxillary height, palatal plane to FH, cranial deflection, ramus Xi position, or porion location. Continual changes over the 10 years of growth were observed in the maxillary first molar distal position to pterygoid true vertical plane, facial depth, mandibular plane to FH, anterior cranial length, mandibular arc, and corpus length. Conclusions: Clinicians can apply the Korean norms at age 9 as determined in this study when using the Ricketts analysis. The patient's age at the beginning of treatment and their sex should be taken into consideration when drawing visual treatment objectives.

This study was aimed to investigate the characteristics & the causative areas of the adult skeletal class III malocclusions with different facial divergency. The lateral cephalograms of 80 subjects with skeletal class III malocclusion from 17 to 29 years of age were classified into 3 groups according to SN-MP angle; hypodivergent group $(21.65{\pm}3.52^{\circ})$, neutrodivergent group $(30.50{\pm}2.29^{\circ})$ and hyperdivergent group $(40.02{\pm}3.98^{\circ})$. The data were gathered by digitizing of the traced cephalograms and were statistically analyzed. The results were as follows: 1. The anterior cranial base of the hyperdivergent group was shortest & tipped upwardly to the FH plane. 2. The maxilla of hyperdivergent group was shortest anteroposteriorly and positioned posteriorly to the anterior cranial base. 3. The degree of the mandibular prognathism in hyperdivergent group was less than the hypodivergent group. The hyperdivergent group showed the downward & backward rotated mandible. 4. The mandibular ramus & body was short & slender in the hyperdivergent group and the gonial angle was greatest in the hyperdivergent group. 5. The temporomandibular joint was positioned more superiorly to the anterior cranial base in the hyperdivergent group. 6. The cranial base, palatal plane, occlusal plane and mandibular plane were diverged in the hyperdivergent group. And this group had a great anterior total facial height, especially anterior lower facial height. 7. The craniofacial characteristics of skeletal class III malocclusion were critical in the vertical structure than the horizontal.

This research was performed to find out the adaptation patterns of maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth to the changes in relationships of vertical skeletal components, which constitute the skeletofacial complex. For this research, 61 adult malocclusion patients were chosen as subjects according to the Hellman's dental age with normally ranged FMN-A-B angle. These subjects were divided into 4 groups in maxilla and 3 groups in mandible according to mesiodistal inclinations of teeth. Following results were obtained after studying the relationships of the vertical skeletal components between each group. 1. Inspire of the fact that the FMN-A-B angle was within a normal range, the degree of mesiodistal inclinations of maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth showed differences in relation to the anteroposterior relationships of maxilla and mandible. In case where the FMN-A-B angle was large, the mesial inclinations of maxillary posterior teeth showed more increase from the posterior to the anterior, whereas in mandible it showed overall decrease. 2. The degrees of mesial inclinations of mandibular posterior teeth were increased when the angulations of lower facial height, occlusal plane angle and mandibular plane angle were greater. 3. The patterns of mesial inclinations of maxillary posterior teeth were varied according to the angulation of lower facial height. If relatively large, it showed more increase from the posterior to the anterior and it was decreased nearly consistent when the angulation was small. 4. The degrees of mesial inclinations of maxillary posterior teeth were decreased as the lower facial height, palatal plane angle, occlusal plane angle and the mandibular plane angle became greater.

교정 치료 시 많은 경우 상악 전치부를 상당량 견인하게 되며 이 때 치아의 이동량과 전방 피질골의 개조량이 동일하게 일어나지 않는다면 치주적인 문제가 발생할 수 있게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 상악 전치가 후방 견인될 때 치아의 이동량과 피질골의 개조량의 관계를 알아보기 위하여 성장이 완료된 만 18세 이상의 성인 여자환자 56명을 대상으로 치료 전후의 측모두부 방사선 사진을 계측하였다. 연구대상 56명은 전치의 후방견인 시 경사이동이 주로 일어난 환자(26명 )와 치체 이동이 동반된 환자(30명)로 나누었으며 치료 전후의 측모두부방사선 사진을 true horizontal plane 을 기준으로 하여 중첩하였다. Tip-Group(경사이동된 군)에서는 수평적인 bone remodeling/tooth movement ratio가 1:1.63, Torque-Group(치체 이동이 동반된 군)에서는 1:1.66이었다. 두 군 모두에서 치아의 이동량과 골의 개조량이 동일하지 않았기 때문에 경사 이동 시에는 치근첨이 구개측피질골판에서 멀어지고 순측피질골판에 가까워지며, 치체이동이 동반된 군에서는 치근이 순측피질골판에서는 멀어지고 구개측피질골판에 접근하게 된다. 따라서 상악의 전방 피질골의 두께가 매우 얇은 환자에서는 상악 전치의 후방견인량에 제한이 있게 되며 골격적 부조화가 심한 경우에는 악교정수술을 동반한 치료를 고려하고, 교정적 절충치료가 필요한 경우 술자는 그 치료한계를 명확히 인식해야할 것이다.
