The purpose of this study was to analyse craniofacial shape by 3D scanner for Korean adult head shape by age group. The heads of 836 adults were measured by 3D scanner, and the 25 obtained measurements were analyzed by statifical methods. The results can be summarized as follows. 1. From the basic statistical data analysis, the vertex-tagion and the length between the pupils were the longest in the subjects in their twenties, and decreased in elderly groups. 2. According to the analysis of the craniofacial proportion, the typical adult Korea head type was short-headed. 3. Statistically noticeable differences were found in the ectocanthion- opistcranion by the measurement of the left and the right sides of face in the age groups of the 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. 4. The order of factor analysis was as follows: the horizontal length, the perpendicular length and the width from the highest in the age group of the 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate factors that influence university women with eating problems. Methods: Study participants were 307 women from two universities. Self-report questionnaires which included items on eating problems, satisfaction with body shape, self-esteem, body mass index, and weight control methods were used. Data were analyzed using independent t-tests, ${\chi}^2$ tests, and a multiple binary logistic regression. Results: About 20% of the undergraduate women were experiencing eating problems. The problematic eating group showed more dissatisfaction with body shape than the normal eating group, and used more diets, fasting, diet-products, and uretics/laxatives to control body weight. Significant predictors for the problematic eating group were diets, diet-products, BMI, self-esteem and dissatisfaction with body shape. The strongest predictors were diets; risk for women university students who had been on a diet was 15 times higher than their counterparts. Conclusion: It is pertinent for health professionals to start intervention programs to educate university women with eating problems. The contents should include information on healthy weight control methods, improving satisfaction with body shape and self esteem, as well as creating social atmosphere about healthy body shape for women.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the osseointegration of narrow-diameter implant with trapezoid-shape and to evaluate the effect of coronal microthreads on trapezoid-shape narrow-diameter implant. Materials and Methods: The experimental narrow-diameter implants were classified into two groups according to absence or presence of coronal microthreads: trapezoid-shape narrow diameter implant (TN group) and trapezoid-shape narrow-diameter implant with microthreads (TNM group). They were installed alternately in bilateral mandible in three dogs. After 8 weeks, the animals were sacrificed. Resonance frequency analysis, removal torque test, and histometric analysis were performed. Results: Statistically higher implant stability quotient (ISQ) values were observed in TNM group than in TN group at the time of implant installation. However, significant ISQ values difference was not observed between groups at 8 weeks. Both groups showed significantly increased ISQ values at 8 weeks, compared to the time of implant installation. There was no significant difference between groups in removal torque test. Bone-implant contact ratio also showed no significant difference between groups in total and coronal part. Conclusion: Within the limitation of this study, it could be concluded that the trapezoid-shape design on narrow-diameter implant showed successful ossointegration, and the microthreads on coronal part did not result in significant bone-implant contact and biomechanical stability at 8 weeks.

The purpose of this study was to investigate total life habits of male and female adult through questionaire. Questionaire was composed of items such as perception of body shape, food habits, preference habits, the concern of the health and weight control. For this study, the subjects were divided into three groups like low-weight group, standard-weight group, over-weight group according to their body shape. The results can be summarized as follows: 7.9% of the subjects were included in low-weight group, 55.2% in standard-weight group, 36.9% in over-weight group. The subjects' perception of ideal body shape was significantly different from that of actual body shape. Males were more satisfied with their body shape than females. Most of females were unsatisfied with present their body shape and prefered slim and long body shape. Males, specially low-weight group, had adherence to smoking, alcohol and health food compared with the other groups. Food habits of males were considered to be fair compared with those of females. Meal amounts of over-weight group were significantly higher than those of the others. Low-weight group took more snacks and took a stong dislike of food. Males exercised hard and thought their health status to be fair. Low-weight group of males and standard-weight group of females considered their health status to be bad. 69% of the subjects were concerned about weight control. Low-weight group of males had a desire to gain weight while most of females had a desire to lose weight.

Objectives : This study is to examine the influence of exorcise program to body shape and body composition of women. Exercise program is composed muscular resistance exercise and aerobic exorcise with 70min/time, 5day/week for 4weeks and designed for the reinforcement of muscular strength and the decease the decrease of obesity. Methods : The subjects of this study are 26 females who are from twenty until thirty-nine years old and are divided into two groups according to Obese Rate. normal weight group is 18 females under a BMI of 23 and overweight group is 8 females over a BMI of 23. we measured body compositon and body shape with body composition analyzer(inbody 3.0) measured body compositions are body weight, Lean body mass, base metabolic rate, body fat, %body fat, waist hip ratio, body mass index. measured 6body shade are upper arm circumference, chest circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference, thigh circumference. the measurements had been taken before exercise of each group, after 4 weeks, after 8 weeks, after 12 weeks. Body compositon and body shape of the measured data were analyzed by two-way repeated ANOVA followed by Dunnett's Post hoc test using SPSS. Differences were considered significant at p<0.05. Results and Conclusions : The weight was reduced at a significant level in overweight group after 4 weeks. Body fat percent was reduced at a significant level in normal group alter 4 weeks and overweight group after 8 weeks. Waist-hip ratio was reduced at a significant level in normal and overweight group after 4 weeks. Lean body mass and body metabolic rate were reduced but did not satisfy statistical significance. Circumference of all body parts showed an decrease after 12 weeks exercise program. Upper Arm, Chest, Waist, Hip Circumference were reduced at a significant level in overweight group after 4 weeks, but In normal group only Waist Circumference was reduced at a significant level after 4 weeks. Aerobic and Circuit weight training for 12 weeks reduced body weight and body fat percent, waist circumstance statistically significant without loss of lean body mass and body metabolic rate. Also these change was more effective in overweight group than in normal group.

Appearance matters in society today. Women want to feel good and look their best. They do make-up, wear garment and accessory for their good looking. Doing make-up, we have to know how we are look and to consider face shape. But it is difficult to recognize face shape. Because there is no standard face shape of adult women of quantitative analysis. The purpose of this study was to offer standard face shape of adult women in Korea. Furthermore, the study was to determine and differentiate face shape of each age group to set the basic data for the Korean beauty industry. In this study, photographs of 600 Korean women, age between $20{\sim}50's$, were indirectly measured in Venus face2D program. The measurements were analyzed by statistical methods. As a result of basic statistical data analysis, the average lengths of face were 196mm, lengths of forehead-hairline between eyebrows were 62mm, lengths of eyebrow between noses were 68mm, length of nose between chin were 66mm, and width of face were 150mm. By comparing to each age group's face using ANOVA, the statistically noticeable differences were found in measurements.

The percentage of overweight people has increased in older people due to the change of body shape (including pregnancy and giving birth for women). Obesity is accompanied by body shape changes; subsequently, there are more pattern design considerations compared to standard body shapes. This paper classifies the upper body shape of overweight women in Korea, analyzes features by body shape and proposes basic pattern design data that reflects the features of plus-size women body shapes. The data on 540 subjects in the overweight group (from 20 to 69 years old)whose BMI was over 25 was selected. The following features by shape were identified in accordance with the upper body shape classification of overweight women. Body Shape1 had lower body obesity with long stature and arms in proportion to the trunk length and represented 22.2% of the subjects. Body Shape2 had most parts near average sizes for overweight body shapes with short height and arms that represented 37.6% of the subjects (the highest ratio). Body Shape3 was the smallest body shape in the four groups with the most distinct body figure and represented 30.7% of the subjects. Body Shape4 (9.4% of the subjects)was the upper body obesity type (the fattest group)and with of the waist bigger abdominal obesity type.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the resulting root canal angulation and shape change after using various enlarging instruments. The mesial canals (120) of extracted human mandibular 1st and 2nd molars were randomly divided into 6 groups; Control, K-type me, Heliapical me, Canal Master me, sonic and ultrasonic instrumentation group. Vertical angulation of each canal was determined by a straight line through the long axis of canal and another straight line through the apical foramen to intersect at the point where the canal began to leave the long axis of the tooth. By recording and comparing the measured angles of the each set of pre-and postinstrumentation. Then, the roots were sectioned horizontally in the apical, middle, coronal thirds and the canal shapes examined, as was the mesiodistal canal diameter as it relates to the external root surface. The results were as follows: 1. Instrumentation using K-type me group resulted in the highest mean change in angulation ($9.900^{\circ}$) (p < 0.005), while Sonic Air MM 3000 group resulted in the least degree of straightening canals ($8.250^{\circ}$) (p < 0.005). 2. Canal Master file group resulted in the best canal shape at the three levels (P < 0.005). 3. Measured minimal mesial root width produced Heliapical me group at the apical 1/3 level, Sonic Air MM 3000 group at the middle 1/3 level, Heliapical me group at the coronal 1/3 level (P < 0.005). 4. Measured minimal distal root width produced Sonic Air MM 3000 group at the apical 1/3 level (P < 0.05), Heliapical me group at the middle 1/3 level (P < 0.005), Canal Master me group at the coronal 1/3 level (P < 0.005). 5. HeIiapical me group produced more increased canal diameter than any other groups (P < 0.005).
