Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the post-retention stability of the lower incisor axis in Class II division 2 malocclusions. The dental casts and lateral cephalograms from before (T1) and after (T2) orthodontic treatment and long-term post-retention (T3) in 62 Class II division 2 malocclusion cases were included in this study. After several linear and angular measurements at each time were taken, the significance in the amount of change of the lower incisor axis for each gender and extraction versus non-extraction was evaluated. The results showed that the lower incisors that inclined labially during treatment were unstable and relapsed to the original lingual position in Class II division 2 malocclusions (p<0.001). There was no significant difference between extraction and non-extraction groups for the amount of lingual relapse of the lower incisors (p>0.05). There was no significant difference between male and female groups for the axial change of the lower incisors (p>0.05). As a result of multiple regression analysis, the cephalometric measurement best predicting the lower incisor position to the A-Pog line post-retention was pre-treatment L1-Apog(mm) and pre-treatment SNGoMe$(^{\circ})$. Because of the instability of labially inclined lower incisors after orthodontic treatment, the treatment goal should be the pre-treatment incisor axial position.

이 연구의 목적은 제II급 2류 부정교합에서 하악 절치 치축의 보정 이후 안정성을 평가하는 것이다. 62명의 제II급 2류 부정교합 증례들에서 교정 치료전(T1)과 치료후(T2) 그리고 장기간의 보정이후(T3)의 치아 모형과 측모 두부 방사선 사진들을 이 연구에 사용하였다. 각 시기별로 여러 개의 선 및 각도 계측을 시행하고 각 성별과 발치-비발치에 대한 하악 절치 치축 변화량의 유의성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 제II급 2류 부정교합 치료 동안 순측으로 경사된 하악 절치들은 불안정하였고 원래의 설측 위치로 되돌아갔다(p<0.001). 하악 절치들의 설측 재발량에 대하여는 발치와 비발치군 사이에 유의한 차이는 없었다(P>0.05), 하악 절치들의 축변화에 대하여는 남녀군 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 다중 회귀 분석의 결과, 보정 이후 A-Pog선에 대한 하악 절치의 위치를 가장 잘 예측하는 두부계측 방사선 계측 항목은 치료전 L1-Apog(mm)과 치료전 SNGoMe$(^{\circ})$였다. 교정치료 이후 순측으로 경사된 하악 절치들의 불안정성 때문에 치료 목표는 치료전 절치 치축의 위치가 되어야 한다.
