Enlow의 구조적 대응체 분석법은 다수의 평균에 의한 정상치와 비교하는 분석법과는 달리 개개인에서 두 개안면의 구성양상이 발달되어온 해부학적, 발육학적 특징의 복합체를 설명하는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 악교정 수술을 시행한 골격성 III급 부정교합 환자 80명(남자 40명, 여자 40명)을 대상으로 구조적 대응체 분석법을 이용하여 수술 전후를 비교하고, 정상교합자와 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 수술에 의해서 주로 하악지 전후방 길이(B3)가 감소되어 상하악의 전후방적 부조화가 해소되었다. 2. 수술에 의해서 하악지의 배열(R3, R4)이 후방으로 재배열되었으며 교합평면(R5)은 후하방으로 회전되었다. 3. 수술후와 정상교합자의 비교결과 수술후에 골격성 III급 양상은 해소되었으나 두개저수준(R1, R2)에서는 차이를 보이고 있다. 4. 수술방법에 따른 비교결과 양악수술은 상악골의 길이(A4), 하악지의 배열(R3, R4), 교합평면의 각도(R5)에서 하악수술과 차이를 보였으나 두 그룹간의 차이는 크지 않았다. 한국인 골격성 III급 부정교합자의 특징을 살펴본 지난 연구에서 골격적 원인은 두개저의 후상방회전, 상악골의 후방위치, 하악지의 전방경사, 하악골체부의 길이증가였는데 본 연구 결과 실제 수술에서 개선되는 요소는 주로 하악지의 전후방 길이 감소, 상악골의 전진이기 때문에 상대적인 개선으로 골격성 III급 양상이 해소되었다고 볼 수 있다. 이러한 결과는 실제적인 수술부위가 상악골과 하악골의 일부에 국한되기 때문이다.

Facial asymmetry is the most frequent disease in craniofacial deformities. And the primary causing area of that is mostly placing in mandible. That is to say, it is known that primarily, mandible grows excessively or deficiently, and other facial region involving maxilla undergoes compensatory growth secondarily, so asymmetric face develops. In facial asymmetry, the surgical correction of undergrowth is more difficult than that of overgrowth and the reason of it is the postoperative relapse caused by stress of surrounding soft tissues. It means the stress of surrounding soft tissues occurring after bone lengthening and reducing above stress is the same meaning with reducing postoperative relapse. Among various areas, mandibular ramus is the most difficult area to lengthen vertically and maintain its length. The reason of it is considered by many authors as the stress of surrounding pterygomasseteric sling which is enveloping lower border of mandible and interrupting elongation of ramal height. So we applied two different surgical procedures in which pterygomasseteric slings have different stress respectively to monkeys which have similar masticatory function and anatomy to human being and compared relapse by radiographic film and observed periodically the histochemical change of masseteric muscle fiber. So we could see the following results. The relapse was less in EVRO group in which we separated pterygomasseric sling in inferior border and didn't approximate muscle sling after vertical lengthening to minimize the stress of soft tissues than IVRO group in which we elongated ramal height preserving pterygomassetric sling. Of course, we could see a problem in EVRO group such as bone resorption in inferior border caused by uncovering the periosteum of inferior border. But we expect that such problem will be solved by developing periosteum substitutes for covering the exposed bone and minimizing the surgical trauma. In histochemical study of masseteric muscle fiber, the fiber constituents of EVRO group in which we minimized soft tissue stress was changed immediately after operation and maintained it for 1 year, whereas that of IVRO group in which we preserved soft tissue stress was changed in more portion after operation and recovered it by 1 year. By the histochemical results, we can see that the recovery of fiber constituents reflect the recovery of muscle stress and it is closely related with relapse phenomenon.

The bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) is preferred method of surgical correction for mandibular prognathism, retrognathism and asymmetry. This technique performed from primarily an intraoral incision to avoid a scar. After forward movement of the distal segment of the mandible, healing of bone by primary or secondary intention is easily accomplished through large areas of cancellous bony overlap. When rigid fixation is used for the BSSRO, it is possible to open the mouth during the immediate post-operative period because it promotes the healing process. Although this surgical procedure has been well-documented, the incidence of postoperative trigeminal neurosensory disorder in the region of the inferior alveolar nerve and the mental nerve remains one of the major complication. However, evaluation of objective methods for sensory recovery patterns is insufficient although most patients find their sensory return. Neurometer electrodiagnostic device performs automated neuroselective sensory nerve conduction threshold evaluation by determining current perception threshold (CPT) measures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sensory recovery patterns of inferior alveolar and mental nerve over time. Nerve examination with a neurometer was performed in 30 patients undergoing the BSSRO at pre-operative, post-operative 1-, 2-, 4- week, and 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6- month follow-up visits after the osteotomy to compare the differences of nerve injury and recovery patterns after the BSSRO with or without genioplasty and sensory recovery patterns associated with the kind of nerve fiber.

In orthognathic surgery, precise analysis and diagnosis are essential for successful results. In facial asymmetric patient, traditional 2D image analysis has been used by lateral and P-A Cephalometric view, Skull PA, Panorama, Submentovertex view etc. But clinicians sometimes misdiagnose because they cannot find exact landmark due to superimposition, moreover image can be magnified and distorted by projection technique or patient's skull position, when using these analysis and method. For overcome these defects, analysis by using of 3D CT has been introduced. In this way we can analysis precisely by getting the exact image free of artifact and finding exact landmark with no interruption of superimposition. So we want to review of relationship between various skeletal landmarks of mandible or cranial base and facial asymmetry by predictable analysis using 3D CT. We select the cases of the patients who visited our department for correction of facial asymmetry during 2003-2007 and who were taken image of 3D CT for diagnosis. 3D CT images were reconstructed to 3D image by using V-Work program (Cybermed Inc., Seoul, Korea). And we analysis the relationship between facial asymmetry and various affecting factor of skeletal pattern. The mandibular ramus hight difference between right and left was most affecting factor that express facial asymmetry. And in this research, there was no relationship between cranial base and facial asymmetry. The angulation between facial midline and mandibular ramus divergency has significant relationship with facial asymmetry

Background Orthognathic surgery is required in 25% to 35% of patients with a cleft lip and palate, for whom functional recovery and aesthetic improvement after surgery are important. The aim of this study was to examine maxillary and mandibular changes, along with concomitant soft tissue changes, in cleft patients who underwent LeFort I osteotomy and sagittal split ramus osteotomy (two-jaw surgery). Methods Twenty-eight cleft patients who underwent two-jaw surgery between August 2008 and November 2013 were included. Cephalometric analysis was conducted before and after surgery. Preoperative and postoperative measurements of the bone and soft tissue were compared. Results The mean horizontal advancement of the maxilla (point A) was 6.12 mm, while that of the mandible (point B) was -5.19 mm. The mean point A-nasion-point B angle was $-4.1^{\circ}$ before surgery, and increased to $2.5^{\circ}$ after surgery. The mean nasolabial angle was $72.7^{\circ}$ before surgery, and increased to $88.7^{\circ}$ after surgery. The mean minimal distance between Rickett's E-line and the upper lip was 6.52 mm before surgery and 1.81 mm after surgery. The ratio of soft tissue change to bone change was 0.55 between point A and point A' and 0.93 between point B and point B'. Conclusions Patients with cleft lip and palate who underwent two-jaw surgery showed optimal soft tissue changes. The position of the soft tissue (point A') was shifted by a distance equal to 55% of the change in the maxillary bone. Therefore, bone surgery without soft tissue correction can achieve good aesthetic results.

The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) was originally classified as a developmental cyst, and OKCs were histologically divided into orthokeratotic (O-OKCs) and parakeratotic (P-OKCs) types. Clinical features differ between O-OKCs and P-OKCs with P-OKCs having a tendency to recur after surgical treatment. According to the revised histopathological classification of odontogenic tumors by the World Health Organization (2005), the term keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) has been adopted to describe P-OKCs. In this retrospective study, we examined 186 KCOTs treated at the Maxillofacial Surgery Department of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital from 1981 through 2005. The patients ranged in age from 7 to 85 years (mean, 32.7) and consisted of 93 males and 93 females. The most frequently treated areas were the mandibular molar region and ramus. The majority of KCOTs in the maxillary region were treated by enucleation and primary closure. The majority of KCOTs in the mandibular region were enucleated, and the wound was left open. Marginal resection was performed in the 4 patients with large lesions arising in the mandible. In patients who were followed for more than a year, recurrences were observed in 19 of 120 lesions (15.8%). The recurrences were found at the margins of the primary lesion in contact with the roots of the teeth or at the upper margins of the mandibular ramus. Clinicians should consider aggressive treatment for KCOTs because the recurrence rate of P-OKCs is higher than that of other cyst types such as O-OKCs, dentigerous cysts, primordial cysts that were non-keratinized, and slightly keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. Although more aggressive treatment is needed for KCOTs as compared to other cystic lesions, it is difficult to make a precise diagnosis preoperatively on the basis of clinical features and X-ray imaging. Therefore, preoperative biopsy is necessary for selecting the appropriate treatment for patients with cystic lesions.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to analyze the lower third facial changes in frontal view after mandibular setback surgery. Materials and Methods : In this study, fifteen subjects(6 males and 9 females) with class III dental and skeletal malocclusions who were treated with BSSRO(Bilateral Sagittal Split Ramus Ostetomy) were used. Frontal cephalometric radiographs were taken preoperatively and more than 6 months postoperatively, and hard tissue(H2-Hl) and soft tissue changes (S2-S1) were measured on vertical and horizontal reference lines. In 15 cases, changes which developed more than 6 months after surgery were studied. Results : The results were as follows. 1. In the facial height, hard tissue $decreased(2.46{\pm}2.76mm)$ with statistical significance(P<0.01), and soft tissue also $decreased(1.64{\pm}3.66mm)$. As a result, the facial height generally becomes shorter after sagittal split ramus osteotomy. 2. In the mandibular width, hard tissue $decreased(2.08{\pm}3.59mm)$ with statistical sgnificance(P<0.05), but soft tissue $increased (2.14{\pm}5.73mm)$ without statistically significant difference(P>0.05) postoperatively. 3. In the facial index, hard tissue $decreased(0.23{\pm}2.21%)$, but soft tissue $increased(2.41{\pm}3.46%)$ with statistical significance. Conclusion : One of the main purpose of orthognathic surgery is to achieve facial esthetics and harmony. In order to fullfill this purpose, it is important to carry out a precise presurgical treatment planning by estimating the changes of frontal profile after surgery.
