Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the deviation of landmarks from horizontal or midsagittal reference planes according to the methods of establishing reference planes. Materials and Methods: Computed tomography (CT) scans of 18 patients who received orthodontic and orthognathic surgical treatment were reviewed. Each CT scan was reconstructed by three methods for establishing three orthogonal reference planes (namely, the horizontal, midsagittal, and coronal reference planes). The horizontal (bilateral porions and bilateral orbitales) and midsagittal (crista galli, nasion, prechiasmatic point, opisthion, and anterior nasal spine) landmarks were identified on each CT scan. Vertical deviation of the horizontal landmarks and horizontal deviation of the midsagittal landmarks were measured. Results: The porion and orbitale, which were not involved in establishing the horizontal reference plane, were found to deviate vertically from the horizontal reference plane in the three methods. The midsagittal landmarks, which were not used for the midsagittal reference plane, deviated horizontally from the midsagittal reference plane in the three methods. Conclusion: In a three-dimensional facial analysis, the vertical and horizontal deviations of the landmarks from the horizontal and midsagittal reference planes could vary depending on the methods of establishing reference planes.

Objectives: In three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT), the cant is evaluated by measuring the distance between the reference plane (or line) and the tooth. The purpose of this study was to determine the horizontal skeletal reference plane that showed the greatest correlation with clinical evaluation. Materials and Methods: The subjects were 15 patients who closed their eyes during the CT image taking process. The menton points of all patients deviated by more than 3 mm. In the first evaluation, clinical cant was measured. The distance from the inner canthus to the ipsilateral canine tip and the distance from the eyelid to the ipsilateral first molar were obtained. The distance between the left and right sides was also measured. In the second evaluation, skeletal cant was measured. Six reference planes and one line were used for the evaluation of occlusal cant: 1) FH plane R: Or.R - Or.L - Po.R; 2) FH plane L: Or.R - Or.L - Po.L; 3) F. Ovale plane R: Rt.F.Ovale - Lt.F.Ovale - Or.R; 4) F. Ovale plane L: Rt.F.Ovale - Lt.F.Ovale - Or.L; 5) FZS plane R: Rt.FZS - Lt.FZS - Po.R; 6) FZS plane R: Rt.FZS - Lt.FZS - Po.L, and; 7) FZS line: Rt.FZS - Lt.FZS. Results: The clinical and skeletal cants were compared using linear regression analysis. The FH plane R, FH plane L, and FZS line showed the highest correlation (P<0.05). Conclusion: The FH plane R and FH plane L are the most appropriate horizontal reference plane in evaluation of occlusal cant on 3D-CT.

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.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure the angular differences between the horizontal reference planes on the CBCT generated PA cephalogram and the modified interpupillary plane, which was usually used in the clinical examination, and to evaluate the validity of the horizontal reference planes. Methods: The CBCT generated PA cephalogram was used to measure the angles between the FH, Lo and IP planes. The subjects consisted of 42 patients with facial asymmetry (males: 21, females: 21, mean-age: 21.6 years). The control groups were also assessed (males: 10, females: 10, mean-age: 23.8 years). The distance of the interpupil was measured on the soft-tissue volume rendered image. The angular differences were statistically analyzed using the $Mann-Whitney$ $U$ $test$ for inter-group comparisons and the $Friedman$ $test$ for intra-group comparisions. Results: The angle between the FH plane and IP plane (the angle of the FH-IP line) showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups ($p$ <0.05). There was no statistical differences between each angle (angle of the FH-IP line, angle of the FH-Lo line, angle of the Lo-IP line) on the intra-group comparision ($p$ >0.05). Conclusion: The angle between the Lo line and IP line (angle of the Lo-IP line) showed no statistically significant difference in both the control and asymmetry groups. Therefore, the Lo line could be used as a horizontal reference plane in CBCT generated PA cephalograms.

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. ($1.09^{\circ}{\pm}3.21^{\circ}$).

본 연구는 삼차원 두부 영상을 위치시키기 위한 좌표계를 구성하는 방법에 대해 제안하기 위해, CT data에서 기존의 두부방사선 계측사진에서 쓰이는 점들을 선정하고, 이를 바탕으로 수평, 수직평면의 안정성을 조사하였다. 서울대학교 치과병원에 내원한 환자 18명의 CT자료를 채득하였으며, 모든 환자는 서울대학교 병원 진단방사선과에서 촬영하였다 (Somatom Plus 4 Siemens, Erlangen Germany). V works for surgery4.0 (Cybermed Inc.. Seoul. Korea)을 이용하여 3차원 좌표축을 선정하고, 계측점을 선택하였다. 좌표축을 동일하게 설정하기 위해 7개의 점(reference point)을 4*4*2 pixel size의 voxel로 따로 표시하였다. 계측점을 선정한 후, V surgery (Cybermed Inc., Seoul, Korea)에서 각 점의 좌표값을 추출하였다. 각각의 점들은 2회 반복 선정한 후 점들을 조합하여 수평, 수직평면의 재현성을 평가한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 수평 기준면의 재현도는 S-Cl평면을 제외하고는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 사잇각은 FH평면이 가장 작게 나타났다. FH평면은 Po과 Or중 어느 3점을 선택하더라도, 통계적으로 유사한 재현도를 보였다. FH1과 FH2의 사잇각과 FH3과 FH4의 사잇각은 $1^{\circ}$ 이하의 적은 오차를 보이며, FH3와 FH4의 사잇각이 통계적으로 더 작은 차이를 보였다. 정중시상면의 재현도는 FMS-Nc, Na-Rh, Na-AHS Rh-ANS, FR-PNS를 기준으로 설정한 경우를 제외하면, $0.61{\sim}1.93^{\circ}$의 양호한 값을 보였다. 이상의 결과에 의하면 공간에서 정의되는 평면의 재현도는 평면을 정의하는 점 자체의 식별오차뿐 아니라, 각 점의 위치관계에도 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 안정적인 3차원 기준 좌표계를 구성하려면 양측 Po과 편측 Or으로 구성되는 평면을 수평기준면으로, 수평면에 수직이고, Foramen Spinosum의 중점과 Nc를 포함하는 평면을 수직기준면으로. 수평면과 수직면에 수직이고. clinoidale나 sella, PNS를 지나는 평면을 전두면으로 설정하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose : The aim of present study is to estimate the relationship among reference lines used for taking the extraoral radiography and panoramic radiography. Materials and Methods: Lateral cephalographs of 40 adults, aged 22 to 30 years were taken. Angles between reference lines (Frankfort line, canthomeatal line, infraorbitomeatal line, and occlusal plane) were measured. Results: Angles between Frankfort line and canthomeatal line, Frankfort line and infraorbitomeatal line, Frankfort line and occlusal plane, canthomeatal line and infraorbitomeatal line, canthomeatal line and occlusal plane, and infraorbitomeatal line and occlusal plane were 16.1° (±2.2), 5.8° (±2.4), 8.7° (±3.5), 10.3° (±1.3), 24.8° (±4.0), and 14.5° (±4.4),respectively. Conclusion: Angle between frankfort and canthomeatal line is very different with commonly known angle. Frankfort horizontal reference lines used for panoramic radiography need an exact definition and more accurate standard is needed for the taking of panoramic radiograph.

Purpose: This study aimed to find a correlation between the occlusal plane and two reference planes that are frequently used in semi-adjustable articulators. Materials and Methods: Sixty-two males and fifty females with normal articulation were recruited and the lateral cephalograms of these patients were taken. The angles between the Frankfort horizontal (FH) and the occlusal planes, the angles between the gnathologic and the occlusal planes, and the angles between the FH and gnathologic planes were measured on the lateral cephalograms. Result: The mean angles between the FH and the occlusal planes was 8.29°±3.62°, with 8.88°±3.09° and 7.63°±4.10° for male and female patients, respectively. The mean angles between the gnathologic and the occlusal planes was 2.77°±3.62°, and the angle between the FH and the gnathologic planes was 5.52°±3.62°. No significant differences were found in the measured angles between the male and female patients (P>0.05). Conclusion: Different guidance angles may be applied to articulators for prosthodontic restoration, depending on the reference planes that the articulators use.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to verify the concordance of the measurement values when the same cephalometric analysis method was used for two-dimensional (2D) cephalometric radiography and three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT), and to identify which 3D Frankfort horizontal (FH) plane was the most concordant with FH plane used for cephalometric radiography. Materials and Methods: Reference horizontal plane was FH plane. Palatal angle and occlusal plane angle was evaluated with FH plane. Gonial angle (GA), palatal angle, upper occlusal plane angle (UOPA), mandibular plane angle (MPA), U1 to occlusal plane angle, U1 to FH plane angle, SNA and SNB were obtained on 2D cephalmetries and reconstructed 3D CT. The values measured eight angles in 2D lateral cephalometry and reconstructed 3D CT were evaluated by intraclass correlation coefficiency (ICC). It also was evaluated to identify 3D FH plane with high degree of concordance to 2D one by studying which one in four FH planes shows the highest degree of concordance with 2D FH plane. Results: ICCs of MPA (0.752), UOPA (0.745), SNA (0.798) and SNB (0.869) were high. On the other hand, ICCs of gonial angle (0.583), palatal angle (0.287), U1 to occlusal plane (0.404), U1 to FH plane (0.617) were low respectively. Additionally GA and MPA acquired from 2D were bigger than those on 3D in all 20 patients included in this study. Concordance between one UOPA from 2D and four UOPAs from 3D CT were evaluated by ICC values. Results showed no significant difference among four FH planes defined on 3D CT. Conclusion: FH plane that can be set on 3D CT does not have difference in concordance from FH plane on lateral cephalometry. However, it is desirable to define FH plane on 3D CT with two orbitales and one porion considering the reproduction of orbitale itself.
