Abstract

Improvements in jaw relationship through clockwise rotation of the mandible may be desirable in some Class III patients with short low facial height. The aim of this study was to examine the treatment effect of face mask for Class III malocclusion patients according to their low facial morphology. Methods: Class III patients in their pubertal growth period were divided into two groups (Group 1, high LFH; Group 2, low LFH) according to lower facial height (LFH) by Ricketts (norm, 47). treatment changes between groups after face mask treatment was compared not only for hard tissue but also for soft tissue. Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups for the skeletal and soft tissues of the maxilla. There were no significant differences between the two groups for the skeletal posterior movement of the mandible, but posterior movement of the mandibular soft tissues in group 2 was larger than group 1. There were no significant differences between the two groups for the vertical hard tissue proportion changes of the mandible, but the vertical soft tissue proportion changes of the mandible in group 2 was larger than group 1. There was a significant correlation between the sagittal hard tissue and soft tissue changes of the maxilla and mandible, but there was no significant difference in the vertical changes. Conclusion: The clockwise rotation of the mandible occurred from use of the face mask, and posterior movement of soft tissues of the mandible was higher in Cl III patients with low LFH than with high LFH.

성장기 아동의 상악골 전방 견인을 이용한 치료 효과 중 하악골의 후하방 회전은 III급 골격관계를 개선시키지만 하안모의 길이가 길어져 face mask가 장안모 환자에게는 비적응증 이라는 것이 선학들의 일반적 견해였다. 그러나 실제로 하안모의 길이를 분류 기준으로 삼아 이에 따른 치료 효과를 비교한 연구는 부족한 실정이며 경조직 변화에 따른 연조직 변화의 연구 또한 미비하였다. 본 연구에서는 상악골 열성장을 보이는 성장기 골격성 III급 부정교합 환자 44명을 Ricketts의 lower facial height (LFH)기준에 따라 LFH가 정상 수치 이상인 군(1군)과 미만인 군(2군)으로 분류하여, 상악골 전방 견인 시 두 군간의 경조직, 연조직 치료 효과를 비교하고 경조직과 연조직의 상호 관계를 비교 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 상악의 경조직, 연조직 전방 이동량은 두 군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 하악의 경조직 후방이동량은 두 군간에 유의한 차이가 없었으나 연조직 후방이동량은 2군에서 더 크게 나타났다. 하안면의 경조직 수직 비율 변화는 두 군간에 유의한 차이가 없었으나 연조직 수직 비율 변화는 2군에서 더 크게 나타났다. 상악과 하악의 전후방적 경조직, 연조직 변화는 유의한 상관관계를 갖는 반면 수직적 하안면 비율 변화는 유의한 상관관계를 갖지 않았다. 위의 결과들을 고려해 볼 때 Face mask 사용 결과 상악골의 전방 이동과 하악골의 후하방회전이 일어났으며 하악의 연조직 후방 이동량은 단안모에서 더 크게 나타났다.
