Temporomandibular ankylosis is defined as a situation in which the condyle is fused to the fossa by bone or fibrous tissue. Conditons such as trauma, infection, or systemic disease may predispose to various types of ankylosis, bringing about different levels of limitation in mandibular movement. Most patients with temporomandibular ankylosis are associated with limitation of maximal mouth opening, deviation of the chin toward the affected side, impaired occlusion, chronic pain, compromised oral hygiene, severe facial asymmetry & impeded mandibular molar eruption occurring in childhood. Several techniques to release ankylosis have been described in the literature, showing variable and often unsatisfactory results. The most frequently used operations are gap arthroplasty, interpositional arthroplasty, and exicision and joint reconstruction with autogenous or alloplastic materials. We have managed the two patients of TMJ ankylosis. They had previously TMJ surgery and we treated with gap arthroplasty & active physial therapy. We have obtained favorable results and report these cases with literatures review.

Objectives: For the deviation phenomenon occurring during the treatment process in temporo-mandibular balancing medicine (TBM), hypotheses were established regarding the cause and mechanism of formation from the perspective of neuro-science and material mechanics, and a verification method was proposed. Methods: The deviation phenomenon was theoretically analyzed based on the structure theories of material mechanics of the joint and the neurological pain mechanism. Results: Deviation occurs due to temporary yield by the accumulation of heterogeneous stress in the temporo-mandibular joint and the affected joint. Because the joint structures are corresponding with material mechanics showing compressive and tensile properties. The size of the deviation is expressed in terms of strain. The occlusal surface of the teeth is level with the axial joint. Since the magnitude of the deviation has a proportional relationship with the degree of abnormality of the temporo-mandibular joint, the magnitude of the deviation calculated by the balance measurement can be replaced by the strain. The major variables involved in the occurrence of deviations are the strength of joint structures and neurological conditions. Therefore plastic deformation and adaptation occur as a long-term depression of neural circuits is strengthened in different ways at different locations each time in various clinical situations. This is the reason why the sequence of the restoration process while correcting deviations is following reverse order of the accumulation in many layers in the muscular nervous system. Conclusions: From the above results, it can be inferred that the occurrence and correction of the deviations are corresponding with the plastic deformation and neuro-plasticity.

본 연구는 측두하악장애의 연구 진단 기준(Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorder; RDC/TMD)을 이용하여 구분된 측두하악장애(Temporomandibular Disorder; TMD) 환자를 대상으로 안면의 골격적 양상과 TMD 사이의 연관성을 규명하고 교정 환자의 진단과 치료에 있어 RDC/TMD의 활용 가능성을 제시하고자 하였다. 서울대학교 치과병원 구강내과에 측두하악장애의 진단과 치료를 위해 내원한 여성 환자들의 의무 기록 및 방사선사진을 검토하였으며 환자의 연령이 18세 미만이거나 전신 질환, 골격적 기형 또는 측두하악관절 부위의 외상 병력이 있는 경우는 제외되었다. 총 96명의 여성 환자로부터 얻은 RDC/TMD Axis I 을 포함한 임상 검사 결과와 측방 두부규격방사선사진 (lateral cephalogram), 파노라마 방사선사진(panoramic radiograph) 및 횡두개 방사선사진(transcranial radiograph)을 이용한 방사선적 검사 결과를 분석하였다. RDC/TMD를 이용하여 집단을 분류한 후 측방 두부규격방사선사진의 각도 및 길이 요소들을 계측하여 안면의 골격 관계, 상하악 관계 및 치열 관계를 분석하였다. 통계적 분석법으로는 독립표본 t-검정(independent t-test), 일원분산분석(one-way Analysis of Variance; one-way ANOVA) 및 카이제곱 검정(chi-square test)을 이용하였고 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 근육 문제를 진단하는 RDC/TMD Axis I 의 제 1 군 측두 두부방사선적 특징에서 통계적 유의성이 인정되지 않았다. 2. 관절원판 변위를 임상적으로 진단하는 제 2 군에서는 개구 장애를 동반하지 않는 비정복성 관절원판 변위가 있는 경우 관절원판 변위가 없는 정상 집단에 비하여 articular angle이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 3. 관절통, 관절염 및 관절증을 진단하는 제 3 군에서는 articular angle, FMA, Bjork sum, posterior facial height 및 facial height ratio에서 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 4. TMD 진단군과 골격적 양상 사이의 관계를 단순화하기 위하여 RDC/TMD Axis I 각 군을 양분법적으로 분류한 뒤 동일 한 방식으로 분석을 시행하였다. 그 결과 제 1 군에서는 overjet, 제 2 군에서는 articular angle, facial height ratio 및 IMPA, 마지막으로 제 3 군에서는 articular angle, gonial angle, facial convexity, FMA, Bjork sum, posterior facial height, facial height ratio 및 ANB angle에서 유의한 차이를 보였다. 이상의 RDC/TMD Axis I 을 이용하여 진단된 측두하악장애 환자를 대상으로 안면의 골격적 양상과 TMD 사이의 연관성 을 분석한 결과로부터 RDC/TMD Axis I 임상 진단에 따라 진단한 측두하악장애 환자 중 제 2 군과 제 3 군의 환자들에서 측두하악장애와 관련된 것으로 알려진 하악골의 후하방 회전으로 인한 골격적 차이가 존재함을 확인하였다. RDC/TMD Axis I은 교정 전 혹은 교정 치료 진행 중에 임상 검사 및 일반 방사선사진으로부터의 제한된 정보를 바탕으로 교정 치료 중 고려하여야 할 TMD 환자를 감별하는데 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

Malignant tumors located in the head and neck areas intermittently show symptoms similar to a temporomandibular disorder (TMD). In our case, a patient who first visited us complaining of TMD-like symptoms, such as trismus and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain on the left side, was identified as a sufferer of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) that arose from the left maxillary sinus. The patient may have a TMD symptom, but we are skeptical because the patient also complained of a spontaneously developed numbness on the same side of his upper lip. We observed the panoramic radiograph closely and found the blurred maxillary sinus inferior wall. Dental cone-beam computed tomography confirmed the tentative diagnosis of malignancy on the maxillary sinus. After he had been referred to the Department of Otolaryngology, the diagnosis of the ACC was confirmed. Adequate diagnosis is vital for a quick treatment of the malignancy. There are some keys for differential diagnosis of TMD-like symptoms.

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to investigate the psychological state of the patients according to skeletal class III malocclusion symptoms. Methods: The subjects were 200 skeletal class III malocclusion patients. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics, clinical manifestation, and T score of Korean version of self-rated Symptom Checklist-90-Revision modified by Jae-hwan Kim. The data were analyzed using SAS version 9.2 and t-test, ANOVA, and ANCOVA were used. Clinical manifestation included subjective recognition and radiological analysis. The subjective recognition of the patients consisted of self-satisfaction of the appearance, phonation, mastication, and temporomandibular joint pain. T score consisted of somatization, obsessive-compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation, and psychoticism. Results: The most serious factor in 9 scales was the severe TMJ pain by ANCOVA. Male patients had a higher T score in phobic anxiety, psyochoticism, somatization and depression than female patients. Those having low appearance satisfaction had the problem in interpersonal sensitivity. Obsessive-compulsive symptoms were conspicuous in phonation difficulty and temporomandibular pain. Conclusions: The patients with skeletal class III malocclusion have more satisfaction with appearance, pronunciation, and phonation than those with skeletal class III malocclusion and overjet. Proper dental treatment will improve the communication and quality of life.
