The Purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in soft tissue characteristics according to the dental or skeletal dysplasia. For this purpose, lateral cephalogram of 153 children (Hellman dental age IIIB: control group 32, Angle CIII. div. 1 malocclusion group 55, Angle Cl III group 66) were traced and measured. For these measurements, following conclusions were made. 1. FH A, FH Sn, FH UL, AA' of the Class III group were thicker than those of the normal and Class II group, but FH B, FH LL, BB' of the Class III group were not significantly different from those of the normal group. 2. FH B, FH LL, BB' of the Class II group were thicker than those of the normal and Class III group, but FH A, FH Sn, FH UL, AA' of the Class II group were not significantly different from those of the noraml group. 3. Ans-Sn, FH P were not significantly different in three groups, while PP' of the Class III group was thicker than those of the other groups. 4. The lower lips of the Class II group were more anterioly everted with respect to the lower incisor inclination than those of the other groups. 5. The severity of skeletal dysplasia was partly camouflaged by the soft tissue.

This case report describes the treatment of a 23-year-old woman who had lip protrusion with gummy smile and mentalis muscle strain. Orthognathic surgery was performed in conjunction with orthodontics. Minimum dental decompensation was performed with presurgical orthodontics followed by an anterior segmental osteotomy for the majority of dental decompensation. Counterclockwise rotation of the maxillomandibular complex was applied by LeFort I osteotomy, and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomies with anterior segmental osteotomy to achieve overall facial balance. The active treatment period was 15 months. Stable occlusion and skeletal relationship were observed after a 10-month follow-up period.

Purpose: The golden ratio has been used for a long time to objectify and quantify 'beauty'. Dr. Marqurardt claims that the golden ratio can be applied in the maxillofacial field as well. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic significance of using a facial 'phi' mask for analyzing Korean faces with characteristics of Class I, II, and III malocclusion. Methods: We studied twenty five Korean celebrities' frontal facial photos (10 males, 15 females) and 90 malocclusion patients' frontal facial photos (30 patients in each malocclusion classification: Class I, Class II, and Class III). Patients who received orthodontic treatment at Samsung Medical Center were selected for this study. After superimposition of the selected facial photo and facial 'phi' mask using Adobe Photoshop CS3, the ratio of the entire facial area, mid facial area, lower facial area and horizontal and vertical lengths were measured. Results: The facial ratio in photos of Korean faces showed larger vertical and horizontal ratios than the facial 'phi' mask with golden ratio, regardless of skeletal malocclusion (entire face: 115%, lower face: 125% larger than the mask). The results of the frontal photos of Class I, II, and III malocclusion patients using facial 'phi' mask showed that the vertical length and frontal face area was more significantly influenced by the area of the lower face than the midface. This means that the lower face has larger proportions in the facial areas. Conclusion: The ratio of facial 'phi' mask is matched with the ideal facial appearance that the contemporary Korean general public is seeking. Thus, the facial 'phi' mask may be a convenient tool for esthetic analysis of Korean faces. Reducing the area of the lower face is esthetically more desirable for almost all Korean people when planning orthognathic surgery.

After orthognathic surgery in skeletal class III patients, the hyoid bone position and the upper airway dimension could be changed due to mandibular setback. There has been many studies about airway dimension of the patients with skeletal class II malocclusion or obstructive sleep apnea. but not with skeletal class III. The purpose of this study was to examine the change of position of the hyoid bone and the consequent change of airway space as the result of retrusion of mandible after orthognathic surgery in skeletal Cl III malocclusion patients. It is also to apply this results in predicting, diagnosing and treating the subsequent obstructive sleep apnea. Forty patients who were diagnosed as skeletal Cl III maloccusion, received orthoganthic surgery of both jaws including mandibular setback, and were followed up post-operatively for more than 6 months were selected. There were 10 male patients 30 female patients. The preoperative and postoperative lateral cephalograms were traced and the distances and angles were measured. The nasopharyngeal space increased postoperatively while the oropharyngeal space decreased. Except for the change of oroparyngeal space, the changes in male patients were greater than female patients. The hyoid bone moved in the posterior-inferior direction, and the change was greater in males than in females. If the postoperative mandibular setback is great, then a significant decrease of airway space and posterior and inferior movement of the hyoid bone were observed. This can result in symptoms related to obstructive sleep apnea. This result should be considered in the diagnosis and treatment planning of orthognathic surgery patients.

고정원의 조절은 교정치료에 있어서 매우 중요한 요소로 이를 보강하기 위한 많은 노력이 있어 왔다. 골융합성 임프란트의 경우 확실한 고정원으로서 가능성이 인정되고 있고, 또 임상에서 시도되고 있다. 그러나 임프란트를 매식하기 위해서는 무치악이 존재해야 하거나 하악구치 후방부위에 식립해야 하는 등 장소의 제약이 있고, 값이 비싸며, 골융합을 위하여 기다리는 시간이 필요하다는 등의 단점으로 인하여 보편화되고 있지는 않다. 최근 몇몇 임상가에 의하여 수술용 titanium microscrew 나 miniscrew를 교정치료시의 고정원으로 사용하려는 시도가 있었는데, 이것은 골융합성 임프란트보다 수술이 간단하며, 가격이 저렴하고, 치조골 어느 부위든지 식립할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 저자는 M.I.A.(Micro-Implant Anchorage)를 고정원으로 사용한 sliding mechanics를 통하여 골격성 II급 부정교합자를 치료하였다. 상악의 M.I.A.는 상악전치의 후방견인의 고정원으로 사용되었고 하악의 M.I.A.는 하악 제1대구치의 직립과 제2대구치의 압하이동의 고정원으로 사용되었다. 하악 구치가 직립됨에 따라 하악골의 전상방 회전이 일어나 SNB각의 증가로 이어지고 ANB각의 감소를 가져 왔다. M.I.A.는 치료 전기간동안 안정되게 유지되어 교정치료의 고정원으로서의 가능성을 확인시켜 주었다. M.I.A.를 고정원으로 사용한 sliding mechanics를 통하여 골격성 II급 부정교합자를 치료하는 새로운 접근법은 환자의 협조도에 의존하지 않고 치료할 수 있고, 비교적 빠른 시기에 많은 안모의 변화를 가져와 환자의 협조도를 끌어 낼 수 있다. 그리고 상악 6전치를 동시에 후방견인하므로 치료기간을 줄일 수 있으며 호선의 교환이 적어 chair time이 짧다. 이런 결과로 미루어 볼 때 MIA는 치아이동의 고정원으로 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 생각되고, MIA를 고정원으로 이용한 sliding mechanics를 통한 교정치료는 골격성 II급 부정교합의 치료에 있어서 쉽고 효율적인 치료법으로 생각된다.

The aim of this clinical report is to describe the complex treatment of an adult Class III malocclusion patient who was disappointed with the outcome of a previous oral rehabilitation. Interdisciplinary treatment planning was performed with a primary indication for implant removal because of marginal bone loss and gingival recession, followed by orthodontic and surgical procedures to correct the esthetics and skeletal malocclusion. The comprehensive treatment approach included: (1) implant removal in the area of the central incisors; (2) combined orthodontic decompensation with mesial displacement and forced extrusion of the lateral incisors; (3) extraction of the lateral incisors and placement of new implants corresponding to the central incisors, which received provisional crowns; (4) orthognathic surgery for maxillary advancement to improve occlusal and facial relationships; and finally, (5) orthodontic refinement followed by definitive prosthetic rehabilitation of the maxillary central incisors and reshaping of the adjacent teeth. At the three-year follow-up, clinical and radiographic examinations showed successful replacement of the central incisors and improved skeletal and esthetic appearances. Moreover, a Class II molar relationship was obtained with an ideal overbite, overjet, and intercuspation. In conclusion, we report the successful esthetic anterior rehabilitation of a complex case in which interdisciplinary treatment planning improved facial harmony, provided gingival architecture with sufficient width and thickness, and improved smile esthetics, resulting in enhanced patient comfort and satisfaction. This clinical case report might be useful to improve facial esthetics and occlusion in patients with dentoalveolar and skeletal defects.

성장기 골격성 II급 부정 교합의 진단 및 치료 계획 수립 시, 환자의 골격 형태와 예후 및 치료효과 등을 고려하는 것은 매우 중요한 과정이라 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 성장기 II급 부정교합자의 치료 과정 중 Activator를 이용한 실험군 89명과 사용하지 않은 대조군 21명을 선정하여 교정 치료 전(T1), Activator 치료 후(T2), 교정 치료 종료(T3) 시의 골격적 차이를 치료 결과(effective body length 변화)에 따라 2군(1, 2군)으로 분류하여 비교, 분석하고 그 결과를 진단, 치료 계획 수립 등 임상 과정에 연계시키기 위해 시행되었다. 실험군의 경우에는 Activator의 치료효과 중 effective body length(Ar-Me)의 변화량에 따라 분류하고 대조군은 치료전 effective body length에 따라 분류하여 통계처리 하였다. 그 결과 실험군에서는 하악체 길이가 짧고, 상 하악골 간의 격차가 크며 전안면 고경의 길이가 짧은 환자에서 Activator에 의한 치료효과가 크게 나타났으며 이러한 치료 전(T1) 시기의 차이는 실험군에서는 고정성 교정 장치 치료 후(T3)시기로 가며 성장에 의해 사라졌다. 그러나 대조군에서는 치료 전(T1) 시기의 짧은 하악체 길이와 전안면 고경이 고정성 교정 장치 치료 후(T3) 까지 유지 되었다. 전체적인 Activator치료와 유지 기간이 포함된 치료 전(T1), 고정성 교정 장치 치료 후(T3) 간 변화량에 있어서는 Activator를 사용한 군에 있어서 보다 양호한 하악 성장 양상이 나타났다. 즉 Activator에 의한 치료효과는 골격형태에 따라 다르게 나타나며 이 결과는 치료 후까지 유지 되며 보다 안정적인 치료결과를 가져 오는 것으로 사료된다. 이번 연구를 통해 성장기 II급 부정교합자에서 Activator에 의한 치료효과와 그 효과의 안정적인 유지를 확인할 수 있었고 이를 바탕으로 교정치료 시 Activator의 효과를 예측하여 바람직한 안모성장을 유도할 수 있다고 생각된다.

Objective: To compare dentoalveolar and skeletal changes produced by the pendulum appliance (PA) and the distal screw appliance (DS) in Class II patients. Methods: Forty-three patients (19 men, 24 women) with Class II malocclusion were retrospectively selected for the study. Twenty-four patients (mean age, $12.2{\pm}1.5years$) were treated with the PA, and 19 patients (mean age, $11.3{\pm}1.9years$) were treated with the DS. The mean distalization time was 7 months for the PA group and 9 months for the DS group. Lateral cephalograms were obtained at T1, before treatment, and at T2, the end of distalization. A Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical comparisons of the two groups between T1 and T2. Results: PA and DS were equally effective in distalizing maxillary molars (4.7 mm and 4.2 mm, respectively) between T1 and T2; however, the maxillary first molars showed less distal tipping in the DS group than in the PA group ($3.2^{\circ}$ vs. $9.0^{\circ}$, respectively). Moreover, significant premolar anchorage loss (2.7 mm) and incisor proclination ($5.0^{\circ}$) were noted in the PA group, whereas premolar distal movement (1.9 mm) and no significant changes at the incisor ($0.1^{\circ}$) were observed in the DS group. No significant sagittal or vertical skeletal changes were detected between the two groups during the distalization phase. Conclusions: PA and DS seem to be equally effective in distalizing maxillary molars; however, greater distal molar tipping and premolar anchorage loss can be expected using PA.
