Mandibular fractures have higher incidence rate compared to facial bone fractures because of relatively prominent form. Specially, mandibular angle fractures were known as common fracture site because of morphological anatomic structure. The mandibular third molar appears to be the most frequent impacted tooth. The mandibular third molar have influence on mandibular angle fractures according to it's eruption state. Also, the mandibular angle fracture including the third molar may influence on post operative infection whether the third molar is in impacted or extracted state when reduction of fracture site is operated. The presence or absence and degree of impaction of the mandibular third molar were assessed for each patient and were related to the occurrence of the mandibular angle fracture. The extraction or non extraction of the mandibular third molar were related to the occurrence of the post operative infection in the reduction of mandibular angle fractures. In the presence of mandibular third molar, the possibility of mandibular angle fractures were relatively common. When viewing the mandibular third molar at occlusal plane, the possibility of mandibular angle fractures were high in the class C group. The possibility of mandibular angle fractures were high in the mesial angulation and partial impaction. There was a statistically significant difference(P<0.05). In complete erupted mandibular third molar, the possibility of post operative infection occurs quite often, but there was no statistical significant difference(P>0.05). In the extracted or non extracted of mandibular third molar, the post operative infection showed no statistical significant difference(P>0.05). With the results mentioned above, mandibular third molar was significantly more susceptible to mandibular angle fracture. In the reduction of mandibular angle fracture, it was recommended that mandibular third molar should be extracted especially in case of pericoronitis, periodontitis and other infections.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to define the relation of the degree of menton deviation and 3-D CT (computerized tomography) measurements of the glenoid fossa and the mandible, which are considered to have an influence on menton deviation. Methods: The CT images were obtained in 60 adults and these were transmitted to a computer and reconstructed using computer software. According to the degree of the menton deviation, which was measured on the posteroanterior cephalogram, the subjects were divided into the menton deviated group (30 adults) and the symmetry group (30 adults). A total of 11 measurements that might have an effect on menton deviation were determined and these were measured in the right and left sides using the function of 3-D measurement in the computer program. The 11 measurements consist of 6 measurements in the glenoid fossa (vertical position of the glenoid fossa and articular eminence, the sagittal position of the glenoid fossa and articular eminence, the depth of the glenoid fossa, and the anterior angle of the glenoid fossa), and 5 measurements in the mandible (ramus length, frontal ramal inclination, lateral ramal inclination, body length, body height). Results: The comparison of the differences between the menton deviated and symmetry groups and correlation analysis on the degree of menton deviation were carried out. The results of comparison of the right and the left difference between the menton deviated and symmetry groups showed that the vertical position and depth of the glenoid fossa were significantly increased in the menton deviated group. Conclusion: The results of the present study show that consideration of the shape and position of the glenoid fossa is necessary for making the diagnosis and administering proper treatment in facial asymmetry patients and especially growing patients.

Purpose: This study evaluated correlation and risk factors between position of the mandibular third molars and mandibular angle fractures using clinical and radiographic findings. Methods: Medical records and panoramic radiographs of 188 patients with mandibular fractures were retrospectively reviewed. The presence and position of the third molars were assessed for each patient and were related to the occurrence of mandibular angle fractures. Results: The incidence of mandibular angle fracture was found to be greater when a lower third molar was present, particularly at the occlusal plane positioned on the $2^{nd}$ molar occlusal surface (by Archer system) and the third molar is impacted in mandibular ramus (by Pell & Gregory system). Of the 192 sites with a lower third molar, 32 (16%) had an angle fracture. Of the 184 site without lower third molars, 16 (8%) had an angle fracture. Conclusion: This study confirmed an increased risk of angle fractures in the presence of a lower third molar as well as variable risk for angle fracture, depending on positioning of the third molar.

Purpose: In this study, we analyzed and compared the anatomical position of the mandibular canal in normal occlusion and mandibular prognathism patients. Patients and Methods: Computed tomography image from 58 patients were divided into normal occlusion group and mandibular prognathism group, and each measurement were taken in the each measuring points(2nd premolar, 1st molar, 2nd molar, 3rd molar, ramus). Measurements were statistically analyzed by student's t-test. Results: BC (Thickness of the buccal cortex) value was 2.3~2.7 mm, CB (Distance from the canal to the lingual aspect of the buccal cortex) value was 1.3~4.3 mm, MC (Diameter of the canal) value was 3.2~3.8 mm, LI (Distance from the canal to the lingual aspect of the lingual cortex) value was 2.0~3.7 mm, TM (Thickness of the total mandible) value was 9.5~12.9 mm and CM (Distance from the canal to the inferior border of the mandible) value was 6.9~17.5 mm. Conclusion: In the comparison between two groups, there was statistically significant difference in CB value of 2nd, 3rd molar between normal occlusion and mandibular prognathism, and other value in the rest of the measuring points didn't show statistically significant difference.

Purpose: Ameloblastomas are rare benign tumors of odontogenic origin, and compose about 1% of all oral and maxillomandibular cysts and tumors. Because this neoplasm has a high rate of local recurrence, segmental mandibulectomy with a 1~2 cm safety margin and immediate microsurgical reconstruction is an accepted treatment modality. The authors experienced four mandibular reconstruction cases that underwent secondary dental implantation. Here, the authors describe these cases and their long-term results. Methods: Four patients with ameloblastoma of the mandible underwent segmental mandibulectomy and reconstruction with a free fibula osseous flap from January 1999 to May 2005, followed by secondary dental implantation. Recurrence, bony union, implant osseointegration, and functional and aesthetic results were evaluated by radiologic imaging, by physical examination, and by using photographs. Results: All free flaps survived with no evidence of flap loss. To date, no recurrence has been noted clinically or radiologically. Imaging after mandibular reconstruction with a free fibular flap revealed satisfactory bony unions and mandibular contours. The patients achieved good aesthetic and functional results after the secondary implantation. Conclusion: Mandibular reconstruction using a fibular osseous flap and secondary dental implantation can produce good functional and aesthetic results after segmental mandibulectomy for ameloblastoma.

Le Fort II 골절단술 및 전방 이동술은 비상악골의 형성 부전증이나 짧은 코, 또는 상악골에 대비하여 상대적인 하악 전돌증 환자에 있어 고려 대상이 되어 왔다. 이러한 비상악골 형성 부전증의 원인으로는 외상, 토순 또는 구개열로 인한 발육부전, 선천성 매독증과 같은 감염 증상 등을 들 수 있다. Le Fort II 골절단술 및 전방 이동술은 1973년 Henderson 과 Jackson 에 의해 처음으로 보고되었고, 그 후 1980년 Steinhauser, Kinnebrew 등에 의해 변화되어 왔다. Le Fort II 골절단술에 있어서의 관상 절개술은 paranasal incision에 비해 안면부 술후 반흔이 남지 않아 심미적으로 우수하며, 두부의 상부 1/2까지 노출이 가능하여 수술시야가 좋으며, 안면 신경 손상 및 lacrimal apparatus 손상의 위험이 적다는 장점 이 외에도 nasofronatal osteotomy site와 pterygomaxiliary osteotomy site를 위한 bone graft의 donor site로서 skull bone을 immediate로 사용할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 교실에서는 선천성 매독의 후유증의 하나인 비상악골 형성부전증을 가진 23세의 여자 환자에 있어서 관상 절개술을 통한 Le Fort II 골절단술을 통한 전하방 이동 및 하악지의 시상골 절단술을 시행하여 양호한 결과를 얻었기에 이에 보고하는 바이다.

본 교실에서 악교정수술을 시행한 하악전돌증 환자 37명(남자13명, 여자 24명)을 대상으로 술전, 술직후, 장기관찰기간동안의 전산화단층촬영법을 이용하여 술전 각 항목치의 평균값 그리고 하악골의 후퇴량 및 술후의 악관절 장애 여부와 하악과두의 위치변화에 따른 상관관계를 검토한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 두부축방향 전산화단층사진에서의 과두간 거리(MM')는 $84.42{\pm}5.30mm$ 였으며, 장축각은 우측 $12.79{\pm}4.92^{\circ}$, 좌측 $13.53{\pm}5.56^{\circ}$로 좌우 비슷하였으며, 기준선(AA')에서 과두의 외측점은 11.34mm, 내측점은 6.87m 정도 전방에 위치하였다. 관상면 전산화단층사진에서의 과두간 거리(mm')는 $83.15{\pm}4.62mm$였으며, 사축각은 우측 $76.28{\pm}4.28^{\circ}$, 좌측 $78.30{\pm}3.79^{\circ}$로 좌우 비슷하였다. 2. 하악골 후퇴량에 따른 술전, 술후 장기관찰에서의 과두 위치변화를 연구한 결과, Group I에서 하악과두의 전방내측 회전의 양상을 보였고, Group II는 RMD, RCA', LCA'가 감소하여 전내측의 회전양상만이 관찰되었으며, Group III에서는 RCA, RLD, RMD, LMD가 감소하여 우측 과두의 후방내측 회전양상을 보였다. MM' 도 감소하여 하악과두간의 거리도 좁아지는 경향을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 이 결과로 하악골의 후퇴량이 증가할수록 하악과두의 위치 변화가 많이 나타나는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 3. 술후에 악관절장애를 호소하는 환자 군과 증상을 호소하지 않는 환자 군과 비교시 하악과두의 위치 변화는 통계적인 유의성은 없었으나 Group A군에서는 하악과두가 전내측의 회전양상을 보였으나, Group B 군의 경우는 좌측 과두의 전방외측 회전을 보였으며, 관상면상 단층면에서 LCA'가 많은 감소 양상을 보였다. 이와는 달리 Group C군에서 우측 과두의 후방내측 회전양상을 보였고 RCA'각의 감소 양상을 보였다. 따라서, 하악골의 후퇴량이 많은 군은 과두위치보존술을 이용함에도 불구하고 술후의 과두의 위치가 후방내측 회전을 보였다. 또한 장기관찰의 경우 원래의 관절 위치로 회귀하는 경향은 있었으나 술전의 과두의 위치보다는 증가와 감소의 경향을 보였다. 수술후의 악관절장애 증상을 호소한 군에서 과두축의 변화를 관찰하였기에, 하악의 후퇴량이 많은 경우에는 더욱더 과두보존술식에 많은 주의를 하면 술후의 악관절 장애의 발생율은 감소하리라 사료된다.

This is a case report about patient who had suffered from degenerative joint disease and treated by TMJ reconstruction with condylar prosthesis. The patient visited Korea University An-am hospital on 2007 complaining symptom about both TMJ pain, mouth opening limitation and open bite. From CT view there was severe resorption of both condylar head, therefore condylar prosthesis reconstruction was planned. After 3D RP model analysis for preparation, the patient was operated under general anesthesia for condylar prosthesis reconstruction and the symptom was alleviated. (increased mouth opening, reduced anterior open bite, full mouth occlusal contact achieved) Follow up was carried out monthly, but after this, patient refused follow up. After 26 months from the operation, the patient revisited for anterior open bite. In clinical evaluation, occlusal contact was remained, but anterior open bite was relapsed. From cephalometry analysis, severe resorption of glenoid fossa was found. Therefore, Autogenous disc reconstruction with alloplastic material was planned on August 2009. After another surgery, condylar prosthesis was regained its normal position in glenoid fossa, and occlusion was recovered properly.
