Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the horizontal skeletal pattern and dental arch differences between Class III malocclusion patients and normal occlusion patients. Methods: Twenty skeletal Class III malocclusion patients and ten normal occlusion patients were selected and 3D facial CT were taken to analyze the horizontal skeletal differences between the two groups. Results: In the horizontal comparison of the maxilla, skeletal width and perimeter were significantly smaller in skeletal Class III patients on ANS and A point reference planes. The difference between maxillary width of ANS and A point reference planes showed that there was greater constriction of the first and second premolar in skeletal Class III patients. In the horizontal comparison of the mandible, the widths of the canine and premolar area were significantly larger in skeletal Class III patients on B point reference plane. The differences between width of the upper and lower jaws (comparison of A and B reference planes) were significantly large in the canine and premolar area. Conclusions: From this study, the characteristics of Class III malocclusion patients were shown through horizontal constriction of the maxilla. But to make clear further detailed characteristics of Class III malocclusion patients, additional studies are necessary.

골격성 III급 부정교합자는 교정치료와 악교정 수술을 병행하여 치료하는 경우가 많아 골격형태에 대한 정확한 파악과 이해가 필수적이다. 이에 본 연구는 골격성 III급 부정교합자와 정상교합자 간의 골격 형태의 차이를 밝히고자 시행되었다. 실험군으로는 단국대학교 교정과에서 골격성 III급 부정교합으로 진단되어 술 전 교정치료를 받기로 예정된 총 20명을 선정하였고, 대조군으로는 골격성 I급 정상교합군으로 I급 교합관계를 보이며, 교정치료와 보철치료의 경험이 없는 정상 교합자 10명을 선정하여 CT촬영을 시행한 후 3차원 입체영상을 제작, 분석하여 상, 하악 기저골을 횡적으로 비교하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 골격성 III급 부정교합자군의 특징을 살펴보면, 상악 기저골의 폭경이 유의성 있게 더 작았고, A point에서 ANS로 갈수록 제1소구치 부위에서 유의하게 폭이 감소하였으며, 제2소구치 부위에서 폭의 증가량이 유의하게 작았다. 하악 기저골은 B point, Antegonion 기준 횡단면에서 견치, 제1소구치 부위의 폭경이 유의성 있게 크게 나타났다. 상하악의 비교 시, 실험군의 견치부, 제1소구치부, 제2소구치부에서 하악에 비해 상악의 폭경이 유의성 있게 작음을 보였다.
