본 연구는 골격성 III급 개방교합자의 악교정 수술 전, 후 설골과 상기도의 변화를 3D-CT를 이용하여 관찰하고 이를 정상교합자와 비교하기 위하여 시행하였다. 전치부 개방교합을 동반한 골격성 III급 부정교합으로 진단되어 악교정 수술을 받은 환자 중 12명을 선정 후, 3D-CT를 통해 설골과 상기도의 3차원 입체영상을 분석하여, 악교정 수술 전, 후의 설골의 위치 변화 및 상기도의 부피 변화를 살펴보고, 이의 결과를 정상교합자 10명과 비교하였다. 설골은 골격성 III급 개방교합군에서 악교정 수술 전에 정상교합군의 설골에 비해 전방에 위치하고 있었고 악교정 수술 후 설골은 후, 상방으로 변화하였으나 유의성은 관찰되지 않았다. Hyoid plane과 mandibular plane이 이루는 각은 악교정 수술전의 골격성 III급 개방교합군이 정상교합군보다 큰 값을 나타내었고, 악교정 수술 후에는 그 차이가 더욱 증가하였다. 골격성 III급 개방교합군의 상기도 부피는 정상교합자보다 작으며 이는, 악교정수술 후에 더욱 감소하였다. 3차원 영상 분석 결과, 골격성 III급 개방교합자의 상기도는 정상교합자에 비해 좁으며, 하악골 후퇴술 이후 더욱 감소하기 때문에 이는 수술적 개선의 안정성에 영향을 줄 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose: This study evaluated the postoperative stability of counter clockwise rotation of the mandibular plane in anterior openbite patients, who have had one jaw surgery performed. Methods: This study includes patients with skeletal class III malocclusion accompanied by anterior openbite among the patients who have had BSSRO performed, resulting in counter clockwise rotation of the mandibule. We excluded the patients with genioplasty and segmental surgery, and included 23 patients who underwent BSSRO. Results: We found no statistical significance between the amount of counter clockwise rotation in the mandible in the Pearson correlation test. Also, there was no significant difference between Group 1 (< $3^{\circ}$) and Group 2 (> $3^{\circ}$). Conclusion: This study evaluated the amount of horizontal relapse, and the degree of relapse. Stable results were obtained. Although there was no statistical significance between the degree of openbite and the amount of horizontal relapse, the group with a greater amount of openbite had a greater amount of relapse.

This study was undertaken to find out the factor highly correlated to the depth of overbite among the skeletal factors of the craniofacial complex using lateral roentgenocephalograms. The subjects cconsited of fifty normal occlusions, sixty Class I malocclusions, sixty Class II division I malocclustions and sixty Class III malocclusions. The results were as follows: 1. Ans-Go-Me angle and lower genial angle showed high correlation to the depth of overbite in the total malocclusion sample. 2. The mean values of Ans-Go-Me angle and lower goinal angle for the normal sample were $49.8^{\circ}\;and\;75.6^{\circ}$, respectively. 3. Ans-Go-Me angle above $56^{\circ}$ or lower gonial angle above $84^{\circ}$ indicated a tendency toward an openbite. Conversely, Ans-Go-Me angle below $48^{\circ}$ or lower goinal angle below $73^{\circ}$ indicated a tendency toward a deepbite.

The purpose of this report is to review vertical dysplasia such as openbite or deep bite in skeletal Class III malocclusion and their treatment modality and to present two cases treated with MEAW. The results obtained were as follows A. Open bite case 1. The treatment time was 3 year 8 months. 2. Upper and lower incisors showed extrusion and especially lower anterior alveolar process showed remodelling. 3. The mesially inclined upper and lower molars were uprighted and especially lower first molars showed extrusion that means remodelling of alveolar bone. 4. Normal overbite and overjet were established. 5. Mandible showed slight clockwise rotation. 6. Maxilla showed slight downward bending of ANS part. 7. Upper lip showed downward drop and lower lip showed retraction and touch between upper and lower lip was established. 8. Tongue posture of post-treatment was more raised than pretreatment. B. Deep bite case 1. The treatment time was 1 year 8 months. 2. Upper incisors showed intrusion and labioversion and lower incisors showed slight intrusion and linguoversion. 3. The lower molars showed distal uprighting and intrusion and upper molars showed mesial movement and extrusion. 4. Normal overbite and overjet were established. 5. Maxilla did not show downward movement. 6. Mandible showed slight clockwise rotation. 7. Lower lip showed retraction and downward drop and upper lip showed downward drop.

In general, the skeletal class III has the characteristics of mandibular overgrowth with a normal maxillary growth or maxillary undergrowth with a normal mandibular growth And clinical and radiographic evaluations of the patient are needed. However, the treatment plan is not dependent on these evaluations alone, because patient's general condition and hope for aesthetics varies. The aim of this report is to consider the treatment of a medically compromised patient with an anterior open bite and skeletal class III, which showed a severe mandibular overgrowth. In 2003, a 17-year-old boy with epilepsy, mental retardation presented at our clinic complaining of concave profile. A clinical examination showed severe mandibular prognathism with an anterior open bite. The radiographic examination revealed a short cranial base, a moderate maxillary overgrowth, severe mandibular overgrowth and skeletal open bite tendency. In 2004, he was verified to have no potential of growth by hand-and-wrist radiographs and an endocrine examination. He completed the preoperative orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery (sagittal split ramus osteotomy, genioplasty). He was evaluated on the first visit, the preoperative period and the postoperative period with a clinical and radiographic examination. At the first visit, the patient showed moderate overgrowth of the maxilla, severe overgrowth of the mandible, and a subsequential skeletal open bite. After the preoperative orthodontic treatment (preoperative period), the patient showed the same skeletal problem as before and a decompensated dentition for orthognathic surgery. After orthognathic surgery, his profile had improved, but he had still a skeletal openbite tendency because the maxillary orthognathic surgery was not performed. Severe mandibular prognathism with a maxillary overgrowth and anterior open bite should be treated by bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. However, one-jaw orthognathic surgery on the remaining the skeletal open bite tendency was performed for his medical problem and facial esthetics. This subsequential open bite should be resolved with a postoperative orthodontic treatment.

악골의 골격적 부조화를 가진 환자의 교정치료는 악교정 수술을 필요로 하고, 악교정 수술에 의해 교합평면각은 변화된다. 특히 전치부 개교를 동반한 III급 부정교합 환자에서 치아안면 기형을 치료하기 위한 교합평면각의 변화에 대하여 많은 논란이 있어 왔다. 교합평면각을 증가시키는 하악골의 시계 방향 회전(clockwise rotation)은 전치부 개교에 대한 적절한 치료법으로 추천되어 왔고 하악골의 반시계 방향의 회전(counterclockwise rotation)은 하악지 고경을 증가시키는 방향으로 하악골을 회전시킨다는 개념으로 인해 재발(relapse)을 유발하는 불안정한 수술 방법으로 인식되어 왔다. 본 연구는 전치부 개교를 동반한 골격성 III 부정교합 환자에서 교합평면의 반시계 방향 회전을 동반한 하악지 시상분할 골절단술 시행 후 교합평면각의 변화와 술후 안정성과의 관계를 평가 하고자 하였다. 하악지 시상분할 골절 단술과 rigid fixation으로 치료받은 환자 25 명 (평균연령 20.6세)을 대상으로 하여 수술 직전(T1), 술후 2주내(T2), 그리고 술후 6 개월 이후(T3)에 촬영한 측모 두부계측 방사선 사진을 통계분석한 결과(Paired t-test, Pearson correlation analysis), 다음의 결론을 얻었다. 1. 악교정 수술 후(T2) 하악평면각은 $2.9^{\circ}$ 감소하였고 SN 평면에 대한 하악 교합평면의 각도는 $2.7^{\circ}$ 감소하였다. 술후 6 개월경과 후(T3) 후안면 고경의 감소로 인해(P<0.01) 하악 평면각은 $1.0^{\circ}$ 증가하였으나 하악 교합평면의 경사도는 변화되지 않았다. 2. 악교정 수술 후 시간 경과(T3)에 의해 발생한 수평적 재발은 하악골의 전방 이동량이 B점에서 1.6 mm로 수술시 전체 후방 이동량의 약$22\%$였다. 전안면 고경에서는 수직적 재발이 발생하지 않았으나,후안면 고경은 감소하였다. (P<0.01). 3. 수평적 재발과 상관관계를 보이는 항목은 하악평면각 이었고(P<0.01) 수술 6 개월경과 후 후안면 고경의 감소와 상관관계가 있는 요소로는 수술시 하악골의 후방 이동량(P<0.01), 하악지 고경의 증가량(P<0.01), 그리고 하악평면각의 감소량(P<0.01) 등이 있었다. 4. 수술시 하악 교합평면 경사도의 변화량과 술후 재발과는 상관관계가 없었다.

The purpose of this case report was to introduce the concept of orthodontic and orthopedic treatment for a growing patient with Tessier number 0 cleft. A 5-year-old boy patient with Tessier number 0 cleft presented congenitally missing maxillary central incisors (MXCI), a bony defect at the premaxilla, a constricted maxillary arch, an anterior openbite, and maxillary hypoplasia. His treatment was divided into three stages: management of the bony defect at the premaxilla and the congenitally missing MXCIs using a fan-type expansion plate, iliac bone grafting, and eruption guidance of the maxillary lateral incisors into the graft area for substitution of MXCIs; management of the maxillary hypoplasia using sequential facemask therapy with conventional and skeletal anchorage; and management of the remaining occlusal problems using fixed orthodontic treatment. The total treatment duration was 15 years and 10 months. Class I canine and Class II molar relationships and normal overbite and overjet were achieved at the end of treatment. Although the long-term use of facemask therapy resulted in significant protraction of the retrusive maxilla, the patient exhibited Class III profile because of continued mandibular growth. However, the treatment result was well maintained after 2 years of retention. The findings from this case suggest that interdisciplinary and customized approaches are mandatory for successful management of maxillary hypoplasia, bony defect, and dental problems in Tessier number 0 cleft. Moreover, considering the potential of orthognathic surgery or distraction osteogenesis, meticulous monitoring of mandibular growth until growth completion is important.
