Abstract

Objective: This study investigated the skeletal and dentoalveolar changes after intrusion of maxillary posterior teeth using miniscrew implants during the treatment and posttreatment period. Method: The subjects consisted of 11 adults (1 male, 10 females) whose open bites were treated by posterior teeth intrusion with miniscrew. The lateral cephalometric x-rays of pre-treatment, post-treatment, and the retention period were evaluated. Results: The average intrusion of maxillary posterior teeth at the end of the treatment period was 2.22 mm (p < 0.001) and the average extrusion of maxillary posterior teeth at the end of the 17.4 month retention period was 0.23 mm (p = 0.359). The relapse rate was calculated at 10.36%. A decrease in overbite after the 17.4 month retention period was 0.99 mm (p < 0.05). The relapse rate was calculated at 18.10%. The skeletal changes and vertical height change of maxillary posterior teeth during the retention period was statistically insignificant, but there was a significant decrease in overbite (mean 0.99 mm, p < 0.05). The amount of intrusion and the overbite improvement from treatment significantly correlates to the degree of relapse. Conclusions: The results indicate that intrusion of the maxillary posterior teeth using miniscrews is an effective, non-surgical treatment modality which can reasonably be used to address adult open bite.

최근 절대적인 고정원의 등장으로 다른 부작용 없이 구치부 압하 치료를 가능하게 하였고, 비수술적으로 개방교 합의 심미적인 치료를 가능하게 하였다. 그러나, 이러한 치료법의 장기적인 안정성에 대한 연구는 많이 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 miniscrew implant 를 이용하여 상악 구치를 압하시켜 치료한 성인 개방교합 환자 11명(남자 1명, 여자 10명) 을 대상으로 치료 전후, 그리고 유지기의 골격성, 치아 치조성 변화를 측모 두부 방사선사진을 이용하여 평가하였으며 계측치의 치료 전후 변화량간의 상관관계와 치료에 의한 변화량과 재발량과의 상관관계를 규명하여 상악구치의 압하를 통해서 개방교합을 치료할 때에 안정성을 평가하였다. 그 결과로 상악 구치는 2.22 mm 압하 (p < 0.001) 가 일어났고, 평균 17.4 개월 유지 후 0.23 mm 의 정출 (p = 0.359) 이 나타났으며, 재발율은 10.36%로 나타났다. 전치부의 수직피개는 평균 5.47 mm 의 증가 (p < 0.01) 가 나타났고 평균 17.4 개월 유지 후 0.99 mm의 감소 (p < 0.05) 가 나타나서, 재발량은 18.10%로 계산되었다. 치료 전후 수치 변화량의 상관분석을 통해 상악 구치 압하량과 하악 평면각 변화량이 상관관계 (p < 0.05) 가 있었다. 치료 전의 개방교합량, 하악 평면각, 전하안면고 경과 치료 후의 수직피개 재발량과는 상관관계가 없었다. 상악 구치 압하량과 수직피개 개선량에서 치료에 의한 변화량과 재발량이 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계를 보였고, 이를 토대로 재발량을 예측할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 통하여 성인 개방교합 환자에서 miniscrew implant를 이용한 상악구치부의 압하는 비수술, 심미적 접근방법으로 효율적이고 안정적인 치료방법으로 유용하게 사용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
