교정이나 악교정 수술 환자에서 치료계획 수립과 치료결과의 평가를 위해서 지금까지 많은 수평기준선이 사용되고 있으나 정확성과 재현성 등의 문제가 존재하고 있으며, 더욱 객관적인 수평기준선이 설정 될 수 있다면 교정학 분야에서 많은 발전이 기대될 수 있을 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국 성인의 부정교합군과 성별에 따른 Sella-Nasion(SN) 평면과 Frankfort-Horizontal(FH) 평면이 이루는 각도 및 FH평면과 다른 수평면 간의 상관 관계를 조사하기 위하여 먼저 임상검사를 시행하여 총 600 여명을 대상으로 측모두부규격 방사선사진을 촬영하였다. 계측결과를 바탕으로 연구대상을 골격성 I급 부정교합군 또는 정상교합군(남 50, 여 50), 골격성 II급 부정교합군(남 50, 여 65), 골격성 III급 부정교합군(남 50, 여50)으로 분류한 후 10개의 항목을 평가하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. SN평면과 FH평면이 이루는 각도는 부정교합에 따른 차이는 없었으나 성별 간에는 세 부정교합군 모두에서 차이를 보여 남자는 $7.47{\pm}2.40^{\circ}$, 여자는 $8.93{\pm}2.72^{\circ}$ 였다. 2. SN 평면 또는 FH 평면과 Mandibular Plane이 이루는 각은 모든 부정교합군에서 여자가 남자보다 컸으며, 골격성 II급 부정교합군과 III급 부정교합군이 I급 부정교합군보다 큰 각도를 나타내었다. 3. FH평면과 Palatal Plane이 이루는 각은 부정교합군 및 성별에 따른 차이를 보이지 않고 비교적 일정하였다. 4. Gonial angle은 남녀 모두 III급 부정교합군이 다른 두 부정교합군보다 큰 각도를 보였다.

This study was designed to compare extreme variations in facial growth in order to examine the relationships between the glenoid fossa position and skeletal malocclusions. It was hypothesized that patients with large mandibular plane-sella nasion angles would have a more superior fossa position than patients with small mandibular plane-sella nasion angles. It was also hypothesized that patients with large ANB angles would have a more posterior fossa position than patients with small ANB angle. For this study, the data from lateral roentgenocephaloprams of 72 Females and 72 males aged from 10 to 18 years were used. The results were as follows 1. In the case of large ANB angle, glenoid fossa position was relatively posterior than that of small ANB angle in Female, but it was not significant in male. 2. In the case of large APDI, glenoid fossa position was relatively anterior in female, but it was not significant in male. 3. In the case of large SN-Go Gn angle, glenoid fossa position was relatively superior in both male and female. 4. In the case of large ODI, glenoid fossa position was relatively inferior in both male and female.

환자의 진단이나 치료계획 수립 및 치료의 결과를 평가하기 위해서 현재까지 여러 가지 수평 기준선들이 사용되고 있으나 그 정확성과 재현성이 문제가 되고 있으며 기존의 연구도 서양인을 대상으로 한 수평 기준선을 사용한 경우가 대부분이다. 특히 성장이 완료된 후의 상태를 평가하는 성인 환자와는 다르게 성장기 아동에서는 발육단계에 따라 수평 기준선이 변화될 수 있으므로 이를 고려한 수평 기준선의 설정이 필요할 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 성장기 아동의 골성숙도와 부정교합군 및 성별에 따른 Sella-Nasion (SN) 평면과 Frankfort-Horizontal(FH)평면이 이루는 각도와 FH평면과 다른 수평면 간의 관계를 조사하기 위해 교정치료를 받은 경험이 없는 성장기 남녀 아동 540명을 대상으로 수완부골 방사선 사진과 측모두부 방사선 사진을 촬영하였으며, SMA(Skeletal Maturity Assessment)를 이용하여 골성숙도에 따라 SMI 1-4를 A군, SMI 5-7을 B군, SMI 8-11을 C군으로 분류하고, 측모두부규격 방사선 사진 계측결과 부정교합 분류에 따라 골격성 I급 부정교합군, 골격성 II급 부정교합군, 골격성 III급 부정교합군의 세 군으로 분류한 후 10개의 항목을 평가하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1 SN 평면과 FH 평면이 이루는 각도는 골성숙도와 부정교합 및 성별에 따른 차이를 보이지 않았다. 2. SN 평면과 FH 평면이 이루는 각도는 남자는 $8.27^{\circ}{\pm}2.31^{\circ}$, 여자는 $8.59^{\circ}{\pm}2.24^{\circ}$, 전체에서는 $8.42^{\circ}{\pm}2.28^{\circ}$였다. 3. FH 평면과 구개평면이 이루는 각은 골성숙도, 부정교합 및 성별에 따른 차이를 보이지 않고 비교적 일정하였다. ($1.09^{\circ}{\pm}3.21^{\circ}$).

The primary objective of this study was to analyze the hard and soft tissue profile and comparison of the both sexes in Korean adults using roentgenocephalometry. The subjects were 122 males and 116 females from 18 to 22 years of age selected on the basis of their excellent occlusion and harmonious profile. It was an investigation about the interrelationships in the angles which consisted of Frankfort horizontal plane (FH plane), Sella Nasion plane (SN plane), Nasal floor plane (NF plane) and Mandibular plane (Md plane) as reference planes, and of the axial inclinations of the upper anterior tooth to Nasal floor plane (NF Plane) and of the lower anterior tooth to Mandibular plane (Md Plane). Among the 14 categories estabilishied on the soft tissue land marks, the 6 categories were studied for the relationship to Frankfort horizontal plane (FH Plane), and the 8 categories were studied for the soft tissue contour. The results were as follows: 1. Among 8 measured angles in the hard tissue, the angle of FH-Md, NF-Md and SN-Md were greater in females than in males. 2. The axial inclinations of the anterior teeth to NF Plane and Md plane were slightly greater in males than In females. 3. Among 14 measured angles in the soft tissue, the angles of G-Sn-P and E-Pog-Sn were greater in males, and FH-G-Sn, GㆍSn-Sn. Pog and Pog-Sn-P were greater in females. 4. In males, the variability of measured values in both lips region were high.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine cephalometric factors that help predict favorable soft-tissue profile outcomes following treatment with the Class II Twin-block appliance. Methods: Pre- and post-treatment lateral cephalograms of 45 patients treated with the Class II Twin-block appliance were retrospectively analyzed. Profile silhouettes were drawn from the cephalograms and evaluated by three orthodontists in order to determine the extent of improvement. Samples were divided into a favorable group (upper 30% of visual analogue scale [VAS] scores, n = 14) and an unfavorable group (lower 30% of VAS scores, n = 14). Skeletal and soft-tissue measurements were performed on the cephalograms and an intergroup comparison was conducted. Results: An independent t-test revealed that the following pre-treatment values were lower in the favorable group compared to the unfavorable group: lower incisor to mandibular plane angle, lower incisor to pogonion distance, point A-nasion-point B angle, sella-nasion line (SN) to maxillary plane angle, SN to mandibular plane angle, gonial angle, and symphysis inclination. The favorable group had a larger incisor inclination to occlusal plane. Moreover, the favorable group showed larger post-treatment changes in gonial angle, B point projection, and pogonion projection than did the unfavorable group. Conclusions: Class II malocclusion patients with a low divergent skeletal pattern and reduced lower incisor protrusions are likely to show more improvement in soft-tissue profile outcomes following Class II Twin-block treatment.

SN 기준선과 FH 기준선이 안모의 심미에 종종 맞지 않아서 모든 치열 교정 및 악교정 수술 증례를 이 기준선을 이용하여 반복적으로 정확히 진단하기가 매우 어렵다. 따라서, 이 연구의 목적은 한국 성인 환자를 대상으로 안정위에서 자연 두부 위치의 개인내 재현성을 확인하고 진성 수평선에 대해 SN 기준선과 FH 기준선의 개인간 다양성을 증명하는 것이다. 그러고, 상기 두 연구를 바탕으로 Na 기준 진수선에서 A점 및 B점까지의 거리가 SNA 및 SNB 각도와 상관 관계가 있는지 여부를 조사하는 것이다. 부정교합 및 악골의 부조화를 치료받기 위해 강남성심병원과 한강성심병원 교정과에 내원한 116 명의 환자(남자 23명, 여자 93명)를 조사하였다. 중심위 왁스 바이트는 모든 대상들로부터 채득하였고 1주일 간격으로 자연 두부 위치와 중심위 상태에서 모든 대상자들의 측모두부방사선사진을 2번 촬영하였다. 3개의 변수에서 위치 선정의 방법 오류는 다른 연구에 비해 낮은 수치를 보였다. 그리고 6개의 변수에서 군내 상관계수를 이용하여 자연두부 위치의 개인간 재현성을 증명하였다 (p < 0.001). 각 환자에서 진성 수평선에 대한 FH 기준선간의 각도는 통계적으로 기준치 0도와 다르지 않았다 (p > 0.05). 하지만 임상적으로 다양한 수치를 보였다 (SD: $3.89^{\circ}$). 반면 각 에서 진성 수평선에 대한 SN 기준선간의 각도는 기준치 7도와 매우 다르게 나타났다 (p < 0.05). Na 기준 진수선에서 A점 및 B점까지의 거리와 SNA 및 SNB 각도와의 피어슨 상관 계수에서 유의하지만 매우 낮은 수치를 보였다 (p < 0.01). 이에 자연 두부 위치는 치열 교정 환자 및 악교정 수술 환자의 진단을 위해 재현적이고 믿을 만한 위치이며 자연두부 위치 및 중심위 상태에서 Na 기준 진수선은 SN과 FH기준선을 대신하여 한국인 성인 환자에서 상악쿨과 하악골의 전후 관계를 결정하는데 매우 유용한 기준선으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

This study was undertaken to document relations between facial skeletal pattern and dental occlusion. The data in .this study were collected from pretreatment cephalometric radiographs and study models of patients' records present in the files of Orthodontic Department, Seoul National University Hospital. Patients were selected on the basis of a mandibular plane-sella nasion angle equal to or greater than $38^{\circ}$ (high SN-MP angle) or equal to or less than $26^{\circ}$ (low SN-MP angle). Patients in the mixed dentition and with missing permanent teeth were excluded for ease of assessing tooth size / arch circumference relationships and then 30 high SN-MP and 11 low SN-MP patients were selected among them. The mean age of these two groups of patients was high SN-MP, $12.8{\pm}1.23$ years and low SN-MP, $13.0{\pm}1.48$ years. The following conclusions were obtained. 1. In the maxilla and mandible the mean tooth size of high SN-MP patients was nearlly identical to the low SN-MP patients. 2. The mean maxillary arch circumference was increased in low SN-MP group compared with high SN-MP group and a smilar, but smaller, mean increase was present in mandible. 3. The difference between the mean maxillary circumference required and the mean maillary circumference present ranged from -4.8mm in the high SN-MP group to -1.3mm in the low SN-MP group. A small range of means occurred in the mandible (high SN-MP: -4.0mm to low SN-MP: -1.8mm). 4. In the maxilla and mandible the mean arch length was nearly identical in the high and low SN-MP groups. 5. The mean incisor inclination was increased as the SN-MP angle decreased in the maxilla and mandible. 6. The men distance of the maxillary first molar from anterior border of the pterygomaxillary fissure was nearly similar between high and low groups. 7. The mean mandibular intermolar width was increased from high SN-MP to low SN-MP patients.

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.

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.
