To find out the antero-posterior morphology of the upper face in Angle's class III malocclusion patients, 90 patients, adults in Heilman's Dental age, were used as samples and following results were obtained after the relative comparision of antero-posterior relationship of upper facial structures between Angle's class I malocclusion patients and Angle's class III malocclusion patients and of antero-posterior size of upper facial structures to horizontal and vertical structures in each patients. 1. After comparison of the distance from PMV line to anterior margin of maxillary sinus and cheek, which determines the antero-posterior position of the upper face, upper face in Angle's class III patients are underdeveloped relative to Angle's class I patients. The distance between orbitale and anterior margin of maxillary sinus were greater in Angle's class I patients, whic implies thart the upper face in Angle's class III are depressed. 2. Antero-posterior dimension of anterior cranial base from PMV line and vertical dimension of upper face are statistically insignificant between two groups. After comparing antero-posterior position of upper face to anterior cranial base, the upper face in Angle's class Et patients are depressed antero-posteriorly in relation to anterior cranial base. Following the comparision of antero-posterior position of upper face in relation to vertical dimension of upper face, the upper face in Angle's class III patients seem to be narrow antero-posteriorly

Objective : Combined antero-posterior fixation has been a standard method for bilateral interfacetal dislocation in cervical spine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and complication of anterior cervical stabilization in treatment of bilateral interfacetal dislocation. Methods : A total of 65 cases of traumatic bilateral interfacetal dislocation in cervical spine who were managed in our institution, from Mar. 1997 to Feb. 2006, were included in this study. Closed reduction was tried in all cases before operation. If closed reduction was accomplished successfully, only anterior cervical fixation was performed (Group I), and attempted to place screws bicortically as possible with unicortical screws. If failed, posterior open reduction with fixation was first tried, followed by anterior cervical fixation (Group II). All patients were evaluated for neurological outcome and radiological evidence of healing. Results : The Group I included 47 patients and the Group II, 18 patients. The improvement of Frankel grade and increase of mean cervical lordosis angles were not statistically different between two groups. Screw-plate system used did not influence the outcome. On follow up, solid bone fusion was evident and there were no cases of instability in both groups. Conclusion : Our study demonstrated that anterior cervical fixation on BID is safe and effective in comparison with combined antero-posterior cervical fixation.

Failure to change from the higher pitched voice of preadolescence to the lower pitched voice of adolescence and adulthood is called "mutational dysphonia" The voice is weak, thin, breathy, hoarse, and mono-pitched. If the voice theraphy was failed, surgery to lower vocal pitch which is refered to thyroplasty type III, is indicated. We compared the post-op acoustic parameters with pre-op data in unilateral antero-posterior shortening of the thyroid cartilage method and bilateral antero-posterior shortening of the thyroid cartilage method each other. Bilateral antero-posterior shortening of the thyroid cartilage method shows significant drop of fundamental frequency and speaking fundamental frequency statistically than unilateral shortening method. There was no significant differences in Jitter, Shimmer, SNR, MFR and other psychoacoustic analysiss parameters between two groups. These data shows that unequal tension of the vocal cord in uilateral antero-posterior shortening of the thyroid cartilage method does not control the pitch effectively so bilatreal shortening method in Type III thyroplasty is recommandable procedure in surgery of the mutational dysphonia.

The purpose of this study was investigate the effect of gastrocnemius(GCM) muscle length on the dynamic balance and antero-posterior pressure distribution of foot. Thirty subjects were recruited and each subject was classified with control experimental and control group according to GCM muscle length. The experimental group included subjects with shortness of GCM muscle length, the control group included subjects with normal length of GCM. The dynamic balance and antero-posterior pressure distribution of foot were measured by Biorescue equipment. To evaluate dynamic balance, we collected data of limit of stability in antero-posterior direction. We analyzed the data by using independent t-test. The alpha level was set 0.05. The results showed that the dynamic balance and antero-posterior pressure distribution of foot were significantly different between two groups (p<0.05). This study suggests that the shortness of GCM affects anterior limited of stability in dynamic balance and anterior pressure distribution of foot. Therefore, it is important to maintain optimal GCM muscle length for normal balance ability and prevention of musculoskeletal disease.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether any difference existed in craniofacial morphology between cleft children and normal subjects. Thirty three measurements of the various regions of cranium and face were obtained from lateral cephalometric radiograms in 40 cleft children(27 males, 13 females) and 40 normal subjects(23 males, 17 females) in our dental hospital from Jan. 1988 to Dec. 1995.The measurements were compared with those in control subjects who had no history of craniofacial abnormalities. The obtained results were as follows: 1. In the cranium, the cleft children had singificantly shorter posterior cranial base length(S-Ba) and total antero-posterior cranial base length(N-Ba) (P<0.05). 2. In the upper face, the cleft children had significantly shorter upper anterior facial height(N-ANS) and upper posterior facial height(Ptm'-SNL) (P<0.05). 3. In the lower face, the cleft children had significantly shorter antero-posterior mandibular length(Pog-Ar) and antero-posterior mandibular body length(Pog-Go) (P<0.05). 4. In the facial profile, the cleft children had significantly shorter total facial height(N-Me} and posterior facial height(S-Go) (P<0.05).

The study was designed to examinate the discrimination rate of 4 antero-posterior cephalometric measurements from Angle's malocclusion groups. The material was 246 cephalometric radiographs taken from 42 Normal occlusions, 83 Class I malocclusions, 64Class II Division I malocclusions, 57Class III malocclusions. ANB angle, APDI, AB/OP angle, and Wits appraisal as measurements of antero-posterior skeletal relationship were measured on the cephalometric radiographs and statistically analyzed by the Canonical Discriminant Function. The results of this study were as follows: 1. ANB angle, APDI, AB/OP angle, and Wits appraisal were clinically useful measurements for the evaluation of the antero-posterior skeletal relationship. 2. The rates that discriminate actual malocclusion groups were $77.45\%$ in Wits appraisal, $74.02\%$ in AB/OP angle, $71.08\%$ in ANB angle, and $70.59\%$ in APDI. 3. The discrimination rate of actual Class III malocclusion show above $93\%$, but actual Class I and Class II division I malocclusions were relatively low.

Surgical removal of impacted mesiodens can be performed easily when exact position of mesiodens is identified. This case report is argued about methodological approach of exact antero-posterior postioning of mesiodens using conventional cross-sectional occlusal film and periapical film. The author concludes, 1. Among various methods of positioning mesiodens, exact position of mesiodens can be determined with occlusal film and periapical film. 2. On operation, exact antero-posterior position of mesiodens can be determined with comparing occlusal images of adjacent teeth and anatomic structure to real ones. 3. It is important that exact removal course of mesiodens has to be determined in addition to exact determination of one's position, and that it has to be determined in regard to position, morphological basis, direction of impacted pattern of mesiodens and adjacent anatomic structure. 4. In 2 cases presented, both are mesiodens of inverted conical type, and impacted direction are class I and III respectively according to classification author suggested, and surgery can be perfomed with ease by different approach directions.

This study was designed to investigate the difference between craniofacial characteristics of the normal occlusion and those of Class II Div. 1 malocclusion. The sample was divided into 2 groups, the 50 subjects of Normal occlusion, the 50 subjects of Class II Div. 1 malocclusion in both sexes. Both groups aged from 11 to 14 years. The results of this study were as follows; 1. No significant difference was observed in cranial base shape between both groups, but anterior cranial base size of Class II Div. 1 malocclusion group was larger than that of normal group. 2. No significant difference in antero-posterior position of Maxilla to cranial base was founded between both groups. 3. No difference in Mandibular shapes and Mandibular plane angles to the cranial base was observed between Class II Div. 1 malocclusion and normal occlusion, but Mandibular position in Class II Div. 1 malocclusion was posterior to that of normal group. 4. Antero-posterior relationship of Maxilla and Mandible was significant difference between both groups, but vertical relationship of those was no difference. 5. Maxillary incisor position to cranial base of Class II Div. 1 malocclusion was anteior to normal occlusion, and Maxillary posterior teeth was posterior. Mandibular incisor and mandibular posterior teeth position was no difference. 6. Upper and lower lip position to esthetic line of Class II Div. 1 malocclusion was anterior to normal occlusion.

For the enhancement of a comprehension in temporomandibular joint radiographs, the author has compared and analysed the roentgenographic images of the temporomandibular joint of human dry skull which was taken by submentovertex projection, panoramic radiography, oblique lateral transcranial projection, corrected anterio-posterior tomogram and corrected lateral tomogram. The obtained results were as follows. 1. The submentovertex projection represented in detail the both poles and the posterior surface of the condylar head of the mandible. 2. The oblique lateral transcranial projection represented the articular space, the outer contour of the condylar head and the position of the condylar head within the mandibular fossa, but the relationship of the temporomandibular joint was not revealed accurate, because of the oblique direction of a central ray in taking radiographs. 3. The corrected antero-posterior tomogram was superior method in representation of roent- genographic images of the superior surface and the both poles of the condylar head and the corrected lateral tomogram was considered as the most accurate method among some radiographic techniques for the interpretation of articular space and condyle-fossa relationship. 4. It was possible to observe three-dimensionally the head of condyle with the combinated use of submentovertex projection, corrected antero-posterior tomogram and corrected lateral tomogram.
