Background: The purpose of the study is to compare the effects on the pharyngeal airway space of skeletal anchored face mask with those of tooth-borne facemask. Methods: We used two types of facemask for maxillary protraction, the tooth-borne facemask (TBFM) and the skeletal anchored facemask (SAFM), and evaluated the effects of each facemask on the pharyngeal airway. Twenty-eight patients (mean age 10.3 years) were treated with the TBFM and 24 patients (mean age 11.2 years) were treated with the SAFM. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken before treatment (T1) and after treatment (T2) to assess changes in the dimensions of the upper airway. Statistical analysis was performed with independent t tests, matched t tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results: There were marked increases in upper airway dimensions in both groups following treatment, but the SAFM group had a significantly greater increase in airway dimensions than the TBFM group. Also, the SAFM subgroups showed more improved airway measurements than the TBFM subgroups in both the superior and inferior pharyngeal airways. Conclusions: SAFM is more effective than TBFM in increasing upper airway dimensions.

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.

이 논문의 목적은 성장기 골격성 III급 부정교합의 치료를 위하여 새로이 고안된 Tandem Traction Bow Appliance(TTBA)의 상악골 견인 효과를 평가하는 것이다. 이화여자대학교 목동병원 치과 교정과에 내원한 성장기 골격성 III급 부정교합 환자 중 TTBA로 치료받은 88명(소년 42명, 소녀 46명)을 대상으로 하였다. 치료 시작 시 연령은 7세 6개월${\pm}$1년 6개월이었으며, 평균 치료 기간은 13개월${\pm}$3개월이었다. 치료 전과 후의 측모두부방사선사진계측이 동일 조사자에 의해 투사 및 중첩되었으며, modified McNamara analysis과 pitchfork analysis로 분석하였다. 치료 전후의 변화를 알아보기 위하여 paired sample t-test를 실시하였으며 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 상악과 상악치열은 전방으로 이동하였다. 하악은 후방으로 이동하였으나, 이 양은 통계학적으로 유의하지 않았다. 하악치열은 전방으로 이동하였다. Net dental changes와 apical vase change가 복합되어 나타난 결과, III급 부정교합 치료에 유리한 방향으로 total molar relationship correction이 일어났다. Total molar relationship correction에 대한 기여 정도는 net dental movement 26%, apical vase change 74%였다. 이상의 결과는 TTBA 치료가 상악골 결핍을 가진 성장기 골격성 III급 부정교합에서 유의한 상악골 견인 효과를 가진다는 것을 의미한다.

Before 1970, mandibular overgrowth was known as main cause of skeletal Class III malocclusion in growing children ; however, recent study reports that many skeletal Class III malocclusion patients also show maxillary deficiency. Since 1972, when Delaire re-accommodated Protraction Head Gear (P.H.G.), many researchers have reported that skeletal Class III discrepancies could be corrected through use of P.H.G., which induces anterior movement of maxilla and change in mandibular growth pattern into infero-posterior direction ; nevertheless, it is very difficult to predict resultant changes of orofacial region. The purpose of this study was to find out what treatment effect P.H.G. has on different study samples. Author divided 51 skeletal Class III malocclusion patients with maxillary deficiency who were treated with P.H.G. into different study groups depending on sex, treatment beginning age, intraoral appliance, and facial growth pattern. By doing so, following results were obtained. 1. Treatment beginning age and Sex Four age groups (5.8 to 8 year-old, 8 to 10 year-old, 10 to 12 year-old, 12 to 14 year-old) were compared, and no significant difference was observed. (p<0.05) There was no significant difference between the sex groups, either. (p<0.05). 2. Intraoral appliance Treatment effects of study groups that used R.P.E.(mean age of 10.2) and Labio-Lingual appliance(mean age of 8.9) were compared. There was no significant difference depending on the type of intraoral appliance that was used. (p<0.05) 3. Facial growth pattern 1) Amounts of SNB and ANB corrections were smaller in clockwise growth pattern group than those in normal or counterclockwise growth pattern group. (p<0.05) 2) Amounts of increase in Wits appraisal and mandibular plane angle were greater in counterclockwise growth pattern group than those in normal or clockwise growth pattern group. (p<0.05) 3)Amounts of increase in articular angle were greater in counter lockwise growth pattern group than those in clockwise growth pattern group. (p<0.05)

구치 결손 부위가 장기간 방치될 경우 후방 구치의 근심이동과 대합치 정출 등의 원치 않는 치아이동, 치조골의 소실, 치아치조 교합의 붕괴를 야기할 수 있다. 따라서 치아상실 후 가능한 빠른 시일 내에 결손 부위에 대한 보철 수복 치료를 권장하고 있지만, 제3대구치 등 잔존 치아를 결손 부위의 적절한 위치로 이동시키는 교정치료를 병행할 경우 최적의 크기와 형태로 보철 수복이 가능하고, 기능교합 시 힘의 분산을 고르게 할 수 있으며, 수복의 범위를 최소화하여 생역학적으로 보다 유리한 치주 환경을 조성할 수 있다. 본 증례는 다수의 구치부 치아를 상실한 두 환자를 비교하여 구치부 치아 결손 환자에서 제3대구치의 교정적 활용시 고려할 사항에 대해 고찰하고자 한다.

Purpose: This study was to evaluate several tasks performed at a high intensity in terms of their ability to elicit EMG activity in the serratus anterior by comparing the EMG activities of the serratus anterior, upper trapezius, and lower trapezius muscles during six tasks combined shoulder flexion with rotation. Methods: Fifteen healthy males were recruited to this study. Each subject was instructed to assume a sitting position without back support and asked to flex (90° or 120°) the right shoulder and protract the scapula in the sagittal plane with maximal external rotation; to assume a neutral position; or to internally rotate the glenohumeral joint. The EMG data were collected from the serratus anterior (SA), upper trapezius (UT), and lower trapezius (LT) muscles were normalized to maximum voluntary isometric contraction. The UT/LT and UT/SA muscle activity ratios in each task were assessed by calculating the surface EMG. Data were analyzed by two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance, with the level of significance set at p<0.05. Results: The results of this study, shoulder flexion with external rotation resulted in low upper trapezius/serratus anterior and upper trapezius/lower trapezius ratios and a relatively high level of serratus anterior activation. Conclusion: Shoulder flexion with external rotation used herein may be considered as important for clinical interventions aimed at selectively increasing SA strengthen and clinical selection of exercises for improving glenohumeral joint and scapulothoracic control.

Background: Acromioclavicular (AC) stability is maintained through a complex combination of soft-tissue restraints that include coracoclavicular (CC), AC ligament and overlying muscles. Among these structures, the role of the CC ligament has continued to be studied because of its importance on shoulder kinematics, especially after AC injury. This study was designed to determine the geometric change of conoid and trapezoid ligaments and resulting stresses on these ligaments according to various scapular motions. Methods: The scapuloclavicular (SC) complex was isolated from a fresh-frozen cadaver by removing all soft tissues except the AC and CC ligaments. The anatomically aligned SC complex was then scanned with a high-resolution computed tomography scanner into 0.6- mm slices. The Finite element model of the SC complex was obtained and used for calculating the stress on different parts of the CC ligaments with simulated movements of the scapula. Results: Average stress on the conoid ligament during anterior tilt, internal rotation, and scapular protraction was higher, whereas the stress on the trapezoid ligament was more prominent during posterior tilt, external rotation, and retraction. Conclusions: We conclude that CC ligament plays an integral role in regulating horizontal SC motion as well as complex motions indicated by increased stress over the ligament with an incremental scapular position change. The conoid ligament is the key structure restraining scapular protraction that might occur in high-grade AC dislocation. Hence in CC ligament reconstructions involving only single bundle, every attempt must be made to reconstruct conoid part of CC ligament as anatomically as possible.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the zygomaticotemporal suture (ZTS) maturation, analyze the age distribution patterns of ZTS maturation stages, and investigate the relationship between ZTS and cervical vertebral maturation (CVM). Methods: A total of 261 patients who underwent cone-beam computed tomography (112 males, mean age, 13.1 ± 3.3 years; 149 females, mean age, 13.7 ± 3.1 years) were examined to evaluate the ZTS stages. The ZTS stages were defined based on a modified method from previous studies on zygomaticomaxillary sutures. Differences between groups and correlations between indicators were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test, intraclass coefficient of correlation (ICC), one-way analysis of variance and rank sum test. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. The diagnostic value of CVM stages in identifying ZTS maturation stages was evaluated using positive likelihood ratios (LRs). Results: A positive relationship was found between the ZTS and CVM stage (r = 0.747, ICC = 0.621, p < 0.01) and between the ZTS stage and chronological age (r = 0.727, ICC = 0.330, p < 0.01). Positive LRs > 10 were found for several cervical stages (CSs), including CS1 and CS2 for the diagnosis of stage B, CS1 to CS3 for the diagnosis of stages B and C, and CS6 for the diagnosis of stages D and E. Conclusions: The ZTS maturation stage may be more relevant to the CVM stage than to the chronological age. The CVM stages can be good indicators for clinical decisions regarding maxillary protraction, except for CS4 and CS5.

In growing patients with Class III malocclusion and midfacial deficiency, the treatment protocol calls for orthopedic maxillary protraction and clinicians choose the facemask therapy generally. But facemask is not esthetic or comfortable to patients because it should be worn extraorally. Consequently it is difficult to obtain patients cooperation, and this often influences the treatment effects negatively. MTA (modified tandem appliance), that is a small intraoral appliance, is carried conveniently and esthetic relatively. So it seemed more patient-friendly than a facemask. While the treatment effect of this is similar to that of a facemask. This report presents skeletal Class III malocclusion two cases treated by MTA with good results.
