Abstract

The propose of this study was to quantify the changes of soft tissue profile following orthodontic treatment and to evaluate the relationship of those to the skeletal elements. Pre-and post-treatment lateral cephalometric head films of 40 cases(20 extraction cases, 20 non-extraction cases) were traced, and the changes following treatment were measured and quantified by digital subtraction method, and statisticall analyzed. The obtained results were as follows; 1. in extraction group, the change of upper lip area(UL) was $558.60\pm355.17$ pixels, that of lower lip area(LL) was $941.15\pm364.07$ pixels. But, in non-extraction group the change of uper lip area(UL) was $125.65\pm404.16$ pixels, that of lower lip area(LL) was $104.05\pm440.93$ pixels, which was significantly lesser than those in extraction group. 2. In extraction group, there was significant correlationship between upper lip area change(UL) and difference of upper incisor point(${\Delta}UIP$). Lower lip area change(LL) was significantly correlated with difference of upper incisor(${\Delta}UIP$), difference of Franlrfort upper incisor angle(${\Delta}FUIA$) or difference of interincisal angle(${\Delta}IIA$). 3. In extraction group, the ratio of difference of upper incisor point(${\Delta}UIP$) to difference of labrale superius(${\Delta}LSP$) was 1.68; difference of lower incisor point(${\Delta}LIP$) to difference of labrale inferius(${\Delta}LI$) was 1.19; difference of upper incisor point(${\Delta}UIP$) to increment in upper lip thickness(${\Delta}TUL$) was 1.95. 4. In non-extraction group, there was a significant correlationship between upper lip area change(UL) and difference of upper incisor point(${\Delta}UIP$).

본 교정 치료에 의한 경조직과 측모 연조직의 변화를 정량화하고 그들 상호간의 관계를 규명하기 위하여 원광대학교 치과대학 교정과에서 내원한 교정환자중 성장이 완료된 40명(발치군 20명, 비발치군 20명)의 여자 환자를 대상으로 치료 전후의 두부방사선계측사진을 채득하여, 경조직과 연조직 항목의 변화를 계측하고 계수공제영상 측정법을 이용하여 구순의 변화면적을 산출한 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 발치군에서의 상순과 하순부위의 연조직 변화(UL, LL)는 $558.60\pm355.17,\;941.15\pm364.07$ pixels이었으며 , 비 발치 군에서의 상순과 하순 부위의 연조직 변화(UL)는 상악 중절치의 이동량(${\Delta}UIP$)과 높은 상관성이 있으며, 하순부위의 연조직 변화(LL)는 상악 중절치의 이동량(${\Delta}UIP$), FH평면에 대한 상악중절치의 각도의 변화(${\Delta}FUIA$), 절치간 각도(${\Delta}IIA$)와 높은 상관성을 보였다. 상악중절치 변화(${\Delta}UIP$)와 상순변화(${\Delta}LS$)의 비율은 1.68, 하악중절치 변화(${\Delta}LIP$)와 하순변화(${\Delta}LI$)의 비율은 1.19, 상악중절치 변화(${\Delta}UIP$)와 상순의 두께 증가량(${\Delta}TUL$)의 비율은 1.95이었다. 비발치군에서는 상순부위의 연조직 변화(UL)와 상악중절치의 변화(${\Delta}UIP$)간에 유의한 상관성이 인정되었다.
