Purpose: Distraction osteogenesis is considered to take favorable effect on the TMJ and be beneficial to prevent the relapse after the mandibular advancement of Class II malocclusion patient. This is the report with literature review on the mandibular advancement in the patients showing preoperative condylar resorption and who need larger amount of advancement. Patients and method: Distraction osteogenesis using intraoral device was performed for three mandibular hypoplasia patients (one male and two females). All patients were adult over 18 years old. The patients showed condylar bony resorption preoperatively. The distraction was performed intraorally with modified SSRO. After 7 days of latency period, activation was performed at the rate of 1.0 mm/day with twice turn. The devices were removed after 4-8 month consolidation period. Results: Total advancement of mandible was average 13 mm. One patient showed openbite immediately after removal of distraction device. It took long time to guide the openbite with elastics. The comparison between cephalometries immediately after device removal and postoperative six month revealed average 3.4 mm relapse. This means that mandibular advancement with distraction osteogenesis needs overcorrection and elastic rehabilitation even after enough consolidation periods. Conclusion: Larger amount of mandibular advancement could be achieved with distraction osteogenesis in severe mandibular hypoplasia with condylar resorption. However, some relapse was found during the follow-up period and the over correction is considered to be needed. The effect of distraction osteogenesis seems to be investigated with long-term follow-up.

Submentovertex(SMV) projection shows the base of skull, positions of mandibular condyle and zygomatic arches. We would like to investigate how to use SMV and evaluate its availability for the construction of the plan for orthognathic surgery of mandible prognathism and asymmetry. Preoperative Surgical Treatment Objective(STO) using SMV was performed to 12 patients, who visited to Seoul National University Bundang Hospital with chief complaints like mandible prognathism or asymmetry from Dec 2007 to Feb 2009. Surgical splint was made of stone model repositioned according to STO using SMV. We estimate the change in skeletal midline and the stability of occlusion through superposition between preoperative and postoperative SMV. It was effective on the amount of mandible movement and the correction of mandibular asymmetry, while the facial asymmetry involved with maxilla was excluded. It was concluded that STO using SMV is available and predictable method for not only the setback of prognathic mandible but also the correction of mandible asymmetry accurately.

안모비대칭은 심미적 정서적으로 영향을 줄 뿐만 아니라 기능적인 장애를 초래하는 경우도 있다. 안모비대칭은 안면골 중에서 특히 하악골과 관련된 경우가 많은데 이는 하악골이 안면하부의 연조직을 지지하므로 작은 위치, 형태 변화에도 두드러지게 나타나기 때문이다. 비대칭안모를 초래하는 하악과두의 거대증은 Hyperplasia, Hypertrophy, 골증, 외골증, 골연골증, 연골육종 등을 들 수 있다. 비대칭안모 분류는 여러 학자에 의해 다양하게 분류되지만 Bruce와 Hayward는 Deviation prognathism, Unilateral macroganthia, Unilateral condylar hyperpiasia로 분류한 바 있다. 과증식된 하악과두의 절제술은 1856년 Humphry에 의해 최초로 시행된 후 여러 학자들에 의해 성공적으로 시행되고 있다. 본 증례에서는 Unilateral condylar hyperlpasia와 골연골종으로 인한 안모비대칭 환자로써 Condylectomy, Le Fort I osteotomy, Vertical ramus osteotomy, Mandibular inferior border ostectomy, Genioplasty 등을 시행하여 심미적 기능적으로 양호한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the initial skeletal pattern and growth change of whom had responsed well to chincap therapy. 93 patients seleted for this study were in mixed dentition and treated with chincap for more than 2 years. And 54 subjects were selected from these total samples and classified into two groups by the improvement of four measurements : ANB difference, APDI, Wits appraisal, and AF-BF. One was good response group which consisted of 26 children and the other was poor response group with 19 patients. Various measures of the craniofacial structure in the initial lateral cephalograms and the annual increments were calculated and analyzed by comparing two groups with t-test. The results were as follows : 1. Good response group had more horizontal growth pattern in initial stage of treatment than poor response group, and the contributing factors of this result were anterior posterior facial height ratio, gonial angle, lower genial angle and SN-mandibular plane angle. 2. The maxilla was positioned more anteriorly in good response group. 3. The amounts of vertical growth of maxilla was smaller but the horizontal growth of maxilla was larger in good response group. 4. The mandible rotated more infero-posteriorly in good response group. 5. The good response group had more vertical growth pattern of mandibular condyle.

This study was designed to evaluate the morphology of the temporomandibular joint components and dentofacial characteristics of patients with clicking and painful temporomadibular joint. The materials consisted of 80 conventional pantomographs in normal an symptomatic individuals aged 18-23 and divided into 2 groups by symptom of temporomandibular joint. The results were as follows; 1. In morphologic analysis of condylar head, type Ⅰ (anterior, posterior smooth curve) was most dominant in both group(58.75%, 55.0%) and asymmetrical condylar shape was predominant in symptomatic group (18 cases, 45%). 2. In symptomatic group, the condylar width were slightly lesser and the ratio of condylar height to height of condyle-ramus were larger than those of normal group. 3. Vertical overlap of central incisor of symptomatic group was slightly larger than that of normal group. There was significant differences between each group in mandibular midline deviation. 4. The symptomatic group tended to steep mandibular plane angle and the degree of condylar path and condylar axis of normal group were larger than those of symptomatic group. 5. The condylar width was inversely correlated with inclination of condylar path and inclination of condylar path was correlated with condylar axis in both groups.

Preoperative surgical simulation in orthognathic surgery has progressed in recent years; the movement of the mandible can be anticipated through three-dimensional (3D) simulation surgery before the actual procedure. In this case report, the mandible was moved to the intended postoperative occlusion through preoperative surgical 3D simulation. Right-side condylar movement change was very slight in the surgical simulation, suggesting the possibility of mandibular surgery that included only left-side ramal osteotomy. This case report describes a patient with a mild asymmetric facial profile in which the mandibular menton had been deviated to the right and the lips canted down to the left. Before surgery, three-dimensional surgical simulation was used to evaluate and confirm a position for the condyle as well as the symmetrical postoperative state of the face. Facial asymmetry was resolved with minimal surgical treatment through unilateral intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy on the left side of the mandible. It would be a valuable complement for the reduction of the surgical treatment if one could decide with good predictability when an isolated intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy can be done without a compensatory osteotomy on the contralateral side.

This case report describes the orthodontic treatment performed for open bite caused by internal derangement (ID) and osteoarthritis (OA) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). A Japanese woman, aged 31 years and 11 months, referred to our department by an oral surgeon had an open bite with clockwise rotation of the mandible and degeneration of the condyle. The overbite was corrected through intrusion of the maxillary and mandibular molars using mini-screw implants to induce counterclockwise rotation of the mandible. Then, the mandibular second premolars were extracted and comprehensive orthodontic treatment was performed to establish a Class I molar relationship with distalization of the maxillary arch and to eliminate anterior crowding. Following treatment, her facial profile improved and a functional and stable occlusion was achieved without recurrence of the TMJ symptoms. These results suggest that orthodontic intrusion of the molars is one of the safer and less stressful alternatives for the management of open bite due to degeneration of the condyles caused by ID and OA of TMJ.

Impaction of tooth is a situation in which an unerupted tooth is wedged against another tooth or teeth or otherwise located so that it cannot erupt normally. The supernumerary tooth is also called as hyperdontia and defined as the condition of having additional tooth to the regular number of teeth. The most common supernumerary tooth is a mesiodens, which is a mal-formed, peg-like tooth that occurs between the maxillary incisors. The supernumerary tooth is commonly impacted but they are frequently impacted on maxilla. Ectopic impaction of supernumerary tooth on mandibular condyle, coronoid process, ascending ramus, and pterygomandibular space is very rare condition. In this case, we report a case of impacted supernumerary tooth on mandibular sigmoid notch without definite pathologic change.

본 연구는 III급 부정교합자에서 중심교합상태의 두부 방사선 사진과 MPI 수치를 이용하여 중심위로 전환한 두부 방사선 사진(Centrically related cephalometrics)을 계측하여 중심위 변위시 유의한 계측치 변화가 있는지 확인하고자 시행되었다. 교정치료의 경험이 없는 25명의 III급 부정교합군과 25명의 정상교합군을 대상으로 하여, 중심교합위 상태의 측모 두부 방사선 사진과 중심위 및 중심교합위 기록을 채득하고, 모형을 SAM II 교합기에 부착하였다. 중심위 변위 량은 MPI(Mandibular Position Indicator)를 이용하여 계측하였으며, MPI 수치와 중심교합위 상태의 측모 두부 방사선 사진의 투사도를 이용하여 Conversion work sheet상에서 중심위 전환을 시행하였다. 두부 방사선 계측 항목은 하악골의 위치와 관계되는 것을 선택하였다. 정상교합군과 III급 부정교합군에서 중심위와 중심교합위간의 계측치 변화를 연구하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 하악 과두에서의 중심위 변위량은 정상교합군에서 전후방 변위량$({\Delta}X)0.56{\pm}0.50mm$, 수직적 변위량$({\Delta}Z)-0.61{\pm}0.53mm$였으며, III급 부정교합군에서 전후방 변위량$({\Delta}X)0.93{\pm}0.77mm$, 수직적 변위량$({\Delta}Z)-0.64{\pm}0.89mm$로, 두군 모두 후하방 변위양상을 나타냈다. III급 부정교합군에서 정상교합군보다 전후방 변위량이 더 크게 나타났으나 통계학적인 유의성은 없었다. 2. 중심교합위와 중심위 두부 방사선 사진의 계측치를 비교해 본 결과 정상교합군에서 ANB, Facial angle, Facial convexity, ODI 둥의 항목이 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. III급 부정교합군에서는 ANB, Facial angle, Facial convexity, ODI, SNB, APDI, L1-FP 등 유의한 차이를 보이는 항목이 더 많았고 유의성도 더 높게 나타났다. 3. 두부 방사선 사진의 계측치 변화는 중심위 변위와는 연관성이 있었으나, 정상교합군과 III급 부정교합군에 대한 연관성이 없었다. 이상의 결과는 중심위 변위량이 임상적으로 재현할 수 있는 중심위 위치에서 정상적으로 변위되는 양보다 큰 경우 중심위는 교정 환자에서 적절한 진단과 치료 계획 수립을 위한 기준 점으로 고려되어야 함을 시사하였다.

안면비대칭의 원인은 다양하며, 비대칭적 성장은 상악골과 하악골의 길이나 각도로 평가되어지곤 한다. 하지만 하악 과두의 비대칭적인 위치나 형태 또한 비대칭의 표현에 영향을 줄 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 본 연구는 하악 과두가 안면비대칭의 표현형인 이부 편위에 영향을 주는지에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 50명의 골격성 III급 부정교합자 중 4 mm 이상의 menton point deviation을 보이는 비대칭군 30명, 4 mm 이하의 menton point deviation을 보이며 뚜렷한 안면비대칭이 없는 20명을 대칭군으로 하여, 두개저에 대한 좌우 하악 과두의 근원심적, 전후방적 위치를 평가하고, axial 평면에서 장축을 설정해 하악 과두의 최대 크기와 coronal plane에 대한 각도를 평가하였으며, sigmoid notch 상방 하악 과두의 길이와 부피를 측정하였다. 대칭군은 좌우 하악 과두의 위치, 각도, 크기, 길이, 부피에 있어 통계적인 차이가 없었다. 비대칭군은 이부 편위측과 비편위측으로 나누어볼 때, 이부 편위에 따른 좌우 하악 과두의 위치와 angulation 에서 통계적 차이는 없었으나, 하악 과두의 크기, 길이 및 부피에서는 비편위측 값이 컸고, 이부 편위량이 클수록 좌우 크기, 길이의 차이 및 편위측에 대한 비편위측 하악 과두의 부피비가 컸다. 또한 편위측에 대한 비편위측 하악 과두의 부피비가 이부 편위의 정도를 가장 잘 설명해주는 특성이었다. 이상의 결과를 통해 하악 과두의 비대칭이 안면비대칭의 발현에 영향을 주며, 비편위측 하악 과두가 편위측에 비해 크고 길다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
