If the centric prematurity occurs after orthodontic treatment, it creates centric slide regarded as a possible factor in the cause of temporomandibular disorder and/or postorthodontic relapse. The purpose of this study was to investigate the manner of centric prematurity and centric slide in postorthodantic patients. The 36 orthodontic patients who had been treated with edgewise appliance at least 3 mouths previously were used in this study. After recording centric relation by the leaf gauge technique, the centric prematurity and centric slide were studied using SAM2 articulator and mandibular position indicator. The results were as follows : 1. The highest percentage of centric prematurities were found on the second molars. 2. The buccal incline of the palatal cusp was the most frequent area of centric prematurities in the maxilla, while the lingual incline of the buccal cusp was the most frequent area in the mandible. 3. There were no trends in the direction of centric slide on the mandibular position indicator. 4. There were no significant differences in centric discrepancies between the premolar extraction and nonextraction group.

In the past the jaw and occlusal relationship in centric occlusion were merely considered in case of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. As the fact that functional disturbance of the temporomandibular joint may be caused by occlusal interference was recognized, the importance of functional occlusion and centric relation is emphasized today. Known the importance of centric relation, there are various opinions about definition of centric relation and its taking methods. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relative centric condyle position and to compare the reproducibility of the recordings utilizing different centric relation records obtained by different taking methods. The 15 adults with normal occlusion were participated in this study. Every four centric relation records were taken in each of three methods - leaf gauge, Dawson and myomonitor method. Then the relative centric condyle position, the distance between the condylar position in centric occlusion and the position in centric relation and the reproducibility were studied using SAM 2 articulator and mandibular position indicator. The results were as follows ; 1. The trend of condyle position was different depending on centric relation taking methods. 2. The position of condyle in centric relation by leaf gauge and Dawson methods was superior to that by myomonitor method, and the position by myomonitor method was relatively antero-inferior. 3. The distance between the condylar positions in centric occlusion and the position in centric relation was longest in myomonitor method. 4. The reproducibility had little differences in transverse direction among three methods, while leaf gauge method showed the highest reproducibility and myomonitor method did the lowest reproducibility in antero-posterior and supero-inferior direction.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference and relationship between the slope of articular eminence and the inclination of upper and lower incisor teeth, which are related to the functional stability of occlusion in mandibular protrusion, according to Ricketts' facial types, by the use of lateral cephalogram and SAM2 articulator in 68-adult normal occlusion without tooth missing, orthodontic treatment and occlusal equilibration. The results of this study were as follows : 1 . The angle of articular eminence slope to occlusal plane in brachyfacial type was steeper than that in dolichofacial type, but the angle of articular eminence slope to SN plane and FH plane was not different between facial types. 2. The upper incisor axis in dolichofacial type was steeper than that in brachyfacial type, but lingual surface slope of upper incisor was not different between facial types. 3. In all samples there was a positive correlation between the angle of articular eminence slope and the lingual surface slope of upper incisor to SN plane and FH plane, and in mesofacial type there was a positive correlation between the angle of articular eminence slope and the lingual surface slope of upper incisor to SN plane, FH plane and occlusal plane, and in brachyfacial type there was a positive correlation between the angle of articular eminence slope and the lingual surface slope of upper incisor to occlusal plane. 4. In all samples there was a positive correlation between the angle of articular eminence slope and the angle of Dc-Gn to SN plane, and in mesofacial type there was a positive correlation between the angle of articular eminence slope and the angle of Dc-Gn to occlusal plane, and in brachyfacial type there was a positive correlation between the angle of articular eminence slope and the angle of Dc-Gn to SN plane and FH plane. 5. In all samples there was a positive correlation between the angle of Dc-Gn and the lingual surface slope of upper incisor to SN plane and FH plane, and in mesofacial type there was a positive correlation between the angle of Dc-Gn and the lingual surface slope of upper incisor to SN plane. 6. In all samples and facial types there was a negative correlation between MP to 1 axis and condylar incisal angle.

본 연구는 III급 부정교합자에서 중심교합상태의 두부 방사선 사진과 MPI 수치를 이용하여 중심위로 전환한 두부 방사선 사진(Centrically related cephalometrics)을 계측하여 중심위 변위시 유의한 계측치 변화가 있는지 확인하고자 시행되었다. 교정치료의 경험이 없는 25명의 III급 부정교합군과 25명의 정상교합군을 대상으로 하여, 중심교합위 상태의 측모 두부 방사선 사진과 중심위 및 중심교합위 기록을 채득하고, 모형을 SAM II 교합기에 부착하였다. 중심위 변위 량은 MPI(Mandibular Position Indicator)를 이용하여 계측하였으며, MPI 수치와 중심교합위 상태의 측모 두부 방사선 사진의 투사도를 이용하여 Conversion work sheet상에서 중심위 전환을 시행하였다. 두부 방사선 계측 항목은 하악골의 위치와 관계되는 것을 선택하였다. 정상교합군과 III급 부정교합군에서 중심위와 중심교합위간의 계측치 변화를 연구하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 하악 과두에서의 중심위 변위량은 정상교합군에서 전후방 변위량$({\Delta}X)0.56{\pm}0.50mm$, 수직적 변위량$({\Delta}Z)-0.61{\pm}0.53mm$였으며, III급 부정교합군에서 전후방 변위량$({\Delta}X)0.93{\pm}0.77mm$, 수직적 변위량$({\Delta}Z)-0.64{\pm}0.89mm$로, 두군 모두 후하방 변위양상을 나타냈다. III급 부정교합군에서 정상교합군보다 전후방 변위량이 더 크게 나타났으나 통계학적인 유의성은 없었다. 2. 중심교합위와 중심위 두부 방사선 사진의 계측치를 비교해 본 결과 정상교합군에서 ANB, Facial angle, Facial convexity, ODI 둥의 항목이 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. III급 부정교합군에서는 ANB, Facial angle, Facial convexity, ODI, SNB, APDI, L1-FP 등 유의한 차이를 보이는 항목이 더 많았고 유의성도 더 높게 나타났다. 3. 두부 방사선 사진의 계측치 변화는 중심위 변위와는 연관성이 있었으나, 정상교합군과 III급 부정교합군에 대한 연관성이 없었다. 이상의 결과는 중심위 변위량이 임상적으로 재현할 수 있는 중심위 위치에서 정상적으로 변위되는 양보다 큰 경우 중심위는 교정 환자에서 적절한 진단과 치료 계획 수립을 위한 기준 점으로 고려되어야 함을 시사하였다.
