Objectives: In the present study, the effects of sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) combined with intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) for the treatment of asymmetric mandible in class III malocclusion patients were assessed and the postoperative stability of the mandibular condyle and the symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) evaluated. Materials and Methods: A total of 82 patients who underwent orthognathic surgery for the treatment of facial asymmetry or mandibular asymmetry at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dong-A University Hospital, from 2016 to 2021 were selected. The patients that underwent SSRO with IVRO were assigned to Group I (n=8) and patients that received bilateral SSRO (BSSRO) to Group II (n=10, simple random sampling). Preoperative and postoperative three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) axial images obtained for each group were superimposed. The condylar position changes and degree of rotation on the superimposed images were measured, and the changes in condyle based on the amount of chin movement for each surgical method were statistically analyzed. Results: Group I showed a greater amount of postoperative chin movement. For the amount of mediolateral condylar displacement on the deviated side, Groups I and II showed an average lateral displacement of 0.07 mm and 1.62 mm, respectively, and statistically significantly correlated with the amount of chin movement (P=0.004). Most of the TMD symptoms in Group I patients who underwent SSRO with IVRO showed improvement. Conclusion: When a large amount of mandibular rotation is required to match the menton to the midline of the face, IVRO on the deviated side is considered a technique to prevent condylar torque. In the present study, worsening of TMD symptoms did not occur after orthognathic surgery in any of the 18 patients.

장애인의 교정 치료는 환자에 따라 치료 목표와 방법이 비장애인의 교정 치료와 달라질 수 있다. 교정 치료를 시작하기 전에 환자의 교정 치료의 한계에 대한 보호자와의 충분한 의사소통이 먼저 이루어져야 하고, 교정 치료는 환자가 견딜 수 있으면서 도움이 되는 방향으로 시행되어야 한다. 또한 교정치료 시 보호자들에게 구강위생관리의 중요성을 항상 강조하고 집에서의 구강 위생 관리를 위한 교육을 반드시 시행해야 한다.

이 연구의 목적은 상악 제1대구치의 결손 또는 발육 지연을 보이는 증례에서 나타나는 악안면 형태를 평가하는 것이다. 2006년부터 2017년 8월까지 부산대학교치과병원 소아치과에 내원한 어린이 2983명의 교정 진단자료를 후향적으로 평가하여 상악 제1대구치가 편측 또는 양측으로 결손되거나 발육지연을 보이는 34명을 선정하였다. Demirjian 법을 응용하여 상하악 치령을 추정하고 역령과 비교하였다. 측방두부규격방사선사진 계측을 통해 골격 및 치아치조적 부조화를 반영하는 지표들을 평가하였고, 전치부 교합관계를 확인하였다. 상악 치령은 역령과 비교할 때 유의하게 낮았다. 골격성 개방교합 경향 및 상악 열성장형 골격성 III급 부정교합을 나타내는 지표가 통계적으로 유의하였다. 전치부 피개는 반대교합과 절단교합이 주로 나타났지만, 보상에 의해 정상 피개를 보이는 증례도 있었다. 상악 제1대구치의 선천결손 및 발육지연은 상악골의 성장에 영향을 줄 가능성이 있다고 판단되었다. 따라서 제1대구치의 발육장애가 확인될 경우 사춘기 동안의 악안면 성장을 주의 깊게 관찰해야 하며 적절한 시기에 교정치료를 고려하는 것이 필요하다고 사료되었다.

Objective: To investigate demographic and skeletodental characteristics of one-jaw (1J-OGS) and two-jaw orthognathic surgery (2J-OGS) in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion. Methods: 750 skeletal Class III patients who underwent OGS at 10 university hospitals in Korea between 2015 and 2019 were investigated; after dividing them into the 1J-OGS (n = 186) and 2J-OGS groups (n = 564), demographic and skeletodental characteristics were statistically analyzed. Results: 2J-OGS was more frequently performed than 1J-OGS (75.2 vs. 24.8%), despite regional differences (capital area vs. provinces, 86.6 vs. 30.7%, p < 0.001). Males outnumbered females, and their mean operation age was older in both groups. Regarding dental patterns, the most frequent maxillary arch length discrepancy (ALD) was crowding in the 1J-OGS group (52.7%, p < 0.001) and spacing in the 2J-OGS group (40.4%, p < 0.001). However, the distribution of skeletal pattern was not significantly different between the two groups (all p > 0.05). The most prevalent skeletal patterns in both groups were hyper-divergent pattern (50.0 and 54.4%, respectively) and left-side chin point deviation (both 49.5%). Maxillary spacing (odds ratio [OR], 3.645; p < 0.001) increased the probability of 2J-OGS, while maxillary crowding (OR, 0.672; p < 0.05) and normo-divergent pattern (OR, 0.615; p < 0.05) decreased the probability of 2J-OGS. Conclusions: In both groups, males outnumbered females, and their mean operation age was older. The most frequent ALD was crowding in the 1J-OGS group, and spacing in the 2J-OGS group, while skeletal characteristics were not significantly different between the two groups.

In case of skeletal Class III malocclusion with underdeveloped maxilla, the extraoral orthopedic force for the stimulation of maxillary growth or anterior reposition of the maxilla has been used clinically for the improvement of facial skeletal relationship. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the initial reaction of maxillofacial complex to the maxillary protraction by using extraoral orthopedic force. The dried human skull was used and this investigation was done by means of double exposure holographic interferometry. The protraction forces placed on the canine or the first molar were parallel, $10^{\circ}$ downward, $20^{\circ}$ downward to the occlusal plane. Fringe pattern of each protraction condition was compared and analized. The results were as follows: 1. Each maxillofacial bone displaced saparately. 2. More displacement was shown at the area of the teeth and the alveolar bone. 3. A counterclockwise rotation of the maxilla wa decreased by downward protraction and especially 20 degree downward protraction from the canine showed least rotation. 4. On the zygomatic arch, outward bend was observed and this effect was decreased by downward protraction. 5. On the zygomatic bone, the counter clockwise rotation was increased by the downward protraction. 6. When maxillary expansion was applied at the same time, outward and upward displacement with counterclockwise rotation was observed on the maxilla. 7. The lateral pterygoid plate of sphenoid bone was affected by maxillary protraction.

Turner syndrome (TS) is one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities, with an estimated frequency among female live births of 1/2,000-3,000. The syndrome is characterized by the partial or complete absence of one X chromosome (45,X karyotype). We reported a unique case of a 40-year-old woman with TS accompanying unexpected elongated styloid process specific to Eagle syndrome (ES) and followed up-prolactinoma. The present article is the first report to define the cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) features of TS accompanying ES. Patients with TS carry various risks that make treatment more complicated; thus advanced imaging techniques for proper treatment and follow-up are extremely important. In the light of CBCT examination, craniofacial abnormalities specific to TS and accompanying syndromes such as the crowding of teeth especially in the maxillary anterior region caused by maxillary narrowness, micrognatic maxilla and mandible, relative mandibular retrusion, malocclusion, open-bite, and an elongated styloid process (length of 32.7 mm) on the right side were illustrated in detail.

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign pathologic condition of bone which medullary bone is replaced and disturbed by poorly organized, structually unsound fibro-osseous tissue. When facial bones are involved, considerable esthetic deformity may result. The term monostotic fibrous dysplasia has been applied when one bone is involved : when more than one bone is affected, the term polyostotic used. The polyostotic form may be accomplished by pigmented skin lesion (Jaffe type), or by pigmented skin lesions with endocrine disturbance (Albright syndrome). No general agreement exists on the cause of fibrous dysplasia. A few authors have suggested that fibrous dysplasia as a result of trauma. It occurs predominantly in infant, adolescent females and runs a variable clinical coures. When several bones are involved, it tends to be unilateral. Involvements of alveolar bone may produce displacement of teeth with malocclusion, or loss of teeth, or both. Now, we will present a case of fibrous dysplasia on the left facial region treated by conservative contouring surgery.

The purposes of present study were to identify possible relationships between post-treatment changes and post-retention changes. The patient's models were composed of 58 samples, and were classified non-extraction group (30 samples) and extraction group (28 samples). For each sample the first models were taken prior to the start of treatment, the second models just after the end of treatment, and the third models two years after. The results were as follows: 1. In the cases of non-extraction group, increases were in intermolar width of maxilla, interbicuspid width of maxilla and arch perimeter of mandible during treatment period, but decreases were in the same measurements during post-retention period. 2. In the cases of extraction group, decreases were in intermolar width of mandible, interbicuspid widths of maxilla and mandible, arch length of mandible, arch perimeters of maxilla and mandible during treatment period. 3. Significant decreases were in the irregularity index of both extraction and non-extraction group during treatment period. 4. There were significant differences of arch dimensional changes in intermolar widths of maxilla and mandible, interbicuspid widths of maxilla and mandible, arch lengths of maxilla and mandible, arch perimeters of maxilla and mandible between non-extraction and extraction group.
