This study was performed to describe the longitudinal management of recurrent temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis from infancy to adulthood in perspective of surgical and orthodontic treatment. A 2-year-old girl was referred with chief complaints of restricted mouth opening and micrognathia due to bilateral TMJ ankylosis. For stage I treatment during early childhood (6 years old), high condylectomy and interpositional arthroplasty were performed. However, TMJ ankylosis recurred and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) developed. For stage II treatment during early adolescence (12 years old), gap arthroplasty, coronoidectomy, bilateral mandibular distraction osteogenesis, and orthodontic treatment with extraction of the four first premolars were performed. However, TMJ ankylosis recurred. Because the OSA symptoms reappeared, she began to use a continuous positive airway pressure device. For stage III treatment after completion of growth (20 years old), low condylectomy, coronoidectomy, reconstruction of the bilateral TMJs with artificial prostheses along with counterclockwise rotational advancement of the mandible, genioglossus advancement, and orthodontic treatment were performed. After stage III treatment, the amount of mouth opening exhibited a significant increase. Mandibular advancement and ramus lengthening resulted in significant improvement in the facial profile, Class I relationships, and normal overbite/overjet. The OSA symptoms were also relieved. These outcomes were stable at the one-year follow-up visit. Since the treatment modalities for TMJ ankylosis differ according to the duration of ankylosis, patient age, and degree of deformity, the treatment flowchart suggested in this report could be used as an effective guideline for determining the appropriate timing and methods for the treatment of TMJ ankylosis.

본 연구는 술 전 교정치료 전 치아 이동 예측치(initial STO)와 술 전 교정치료 후 실측치에 바탕을 둔 STO (final STO)를 비교하고자 시행되었다. 부산대학교병원 치과교정과에 내원하여 교정 및 악교정수술 복합치료를 시행 받은 환자 중 하악만 수술한 환자 40명을 선정하여 상악 제1소구치 발치 여부에 따라 두 그룹(발치 그룹 20명, 비발치그룹 20명)으로 분류하였다. 술 전 교정치료 전의 initial STO, 술 전 교정치료 후의 final STO를 작성하여 각 계측치를 수평, 수직 기준선에 대해 거리를 측정하여 비교하였다. 발치 그룹의 두 STO 비교 시 수직적으로 상악 중절치 절단연과 치근단, 상악 제1대구치 협측교두에서, 수평적으로 상악 중절치 절단연, 상악 제1대구치 근심협측교두, 하악 중절치 치근단, 하악 제1대구치 근심면과 근심협측교두에서 차이를 보였으며 비발치 그룹의 경우는 수직적으로 하악 중절치 치근단, 수평적으로 상악 중절치 절단연, 하악 중절치 절단연과 치근단, 하악 제1대구치 근심면에서 차이를 보였다. 두 STO의 차이와 initial STO 수립에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 여러 진단 요소와의 상관성 평가 시 상악 치열궁 공간 부족량이 상악 전치의 수평, 수직 및 제1대구치의 수평 위치 예측에 유의한 상관성을 가졌으며 두 그룹 모두 하악 전치 치축 각도와 하악 치열궁 공간 부족량이 하악 전치의 수평 위치 예측에 유의한 상관성을 보였다. Initial STO 작성과 술 전 교정 단계에서 이를 고려하여 진행한다면 좀 더 효율적인 치료 계획 수립 및 전체적인 치료 기간을 줄이는 것에도 도움이 될 것이라 생각한다.

We report a case involving a young female patient with severe mandibular retrognathism accompanied by mandibular condylar deformity that was effectively treated with Le Fort I osteotomy and two genioplasty procedures. At 9 years and 9 months of age, she was diagnosed with Angle Class III malocclusion, a skeletal Class II jaw relationship, an anterior crossbite, congenital absence of some teeth, and a left-sided cleft lip and palate. Although the anterior crossbite and narrow maxillary arch were corrected by interceptive orthodontic treatment, severe mandibular hypogrowth resulted in unexpectedly severe mandibular retrognathism after growth completion. Moreover, bilateral condylar deformities were observed, and we suspected progressive condylar resorption (PCR). There was a high risk of further condylar resorption with mandibular advancement surgery; therefore, Le Fort I osteotomy with two genioplasty procedures was performed to achieve counterclockwise rotation of the mandible and avoid ingravescence of the condylar deformities. The total duration of active treatment was 42 months. The maxilla was impacted by 7.0 mm and 5.0 mm in the incisor and molar regions, respectively, while the pogonion was advanced by 18.0 mm. This significantly resolved both skeletal disharmony and malocclusion. Furthermore, the hyoid bone was advanced, the pharyngeal airway space was increased, and the morphology of the mandibular condyle was maintained. At the 30-month follow-up examination, the patient exhibited a satisfactory facial profile. The findings from our case suggest that severe mandibular retrognathism with condylar deformities can be effectively treated without surgical mandibular advancement, thus decreasing the risk of PCR.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the postoperative skeletal stability of two-jaw surgery (Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy) via surgery first orthodontic treatment (SFOT) in class III malocclusion. Methods: Thirty-two patients who had two-jaw surgery via SFOT were included in this study. Serial lateral cephalograms were obtained before (T0), immediately after (T1), and six months after (T2) surgery. Twelve variables were measured for horizontal and vertical skeletal stability as well as for dental change. All measurements were evaluated statistically by a paired t-test ($P$ <0.05). Results: The mean skeletal changes were $0.1{\pm}2.5$ mm at point A and $-12.0{\pm}7.4$ mm at the pogonion. The mean horizontal relapse was 11.6% at the pogonion, and the mean vertical surgical changes included an upward displacement of $2.1{\pm}7.1$ mm and a forward displacement of $1.4{\pm}4.6$ mm at the pogonion. Upper incisor inclination decreased after surgery and was maintained at T2, and lower incisors were proclined from T1 to T2 by postsurgical orthodontic treatment. Conclusion: Postoperative skeletal stability of two-jaw surgery via surgery first orthodontic treatment in class III malocclusion was clinically acceptable.

Enlow의 구조적 대응체 분석법은 다수의 평균에 의한 정상치와 비교하는 분석법과는 달리 개개인에서 두 개안면의 구성양상이 발달되어온 해부학적, 발육학적 특징의 복합체를 설명하는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 악교정 수술을 시행한 골격성 III급 부정교합 환자 80명(남자 40명, 여자 40명)을 대상으로 구조적 대응체 분석법을 이용하여 수술 전후를 비교하고, 정상교합자와 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 수술에 의해서 주로 하악지 전후방 길이(B3)가 감소되어 상하악의 전후방적 부조화가 해소되었다. 2. 수술에 의해서 하악지의 배열(R3, R4)이 후방으로 재배열되었으며 교합평면(R5)은 후하방으로 회전되었다. 3. 수술후와 정상교합자의 비교결과 수술후에 골격성 III급 양상은 해소되었으나 두개저수준(R1, R2)에서는 차이를 보이고 있다. 4. 수술방법에 따른 비교결과 양악수술은 상악골의 길이(A4), 하악지의 배열(R3, R4), 교합평면의 각도(R5)에서 하악수술과 차이를 보였으나 두 그룹간의 차이는 크지 않았다. 한국인 골격성 III급 부정교합자의 특징을 살펴본 지난 연구에서 골격적 원인은 두개저의 후상방회전, 상악골의 후방위치, 하악지의 전방경사, 하악골체부의 길이증가였는데 본 연구 결과 실제 수술에서 개선되는 요소는 주로 하악지의 전후방 길이 감소, 상악골의 전진이기 때문에 상대적인 개선으로 골격성 III급 양상이 해소되었다고 볼 수 있다. 이러한 결과는 실제적인 수술부위가 상악골과 하악골의 일부에 국한되기 때문이다.

The aim of this paper was to propose a new method of bimaxillary orthognathic surgery planning and model surgery based on the concept of 6 degrees of freedom (DOF). A 22-year-old man with Class III malocclusion was referred to our clinic with complaints of facial deformity and chewing difficulty. To correct a prognathic mandible, facial asymmetry, flat occlusal plane angle, labioversion of the maxillary central incisors, and concavity of the facial profile, bimaxillary orthognathic surgery was planned. After preoperative orthodontic treatment, surgical planning based on the concept of 6 DOF was performed on a surgical treatment objective drawing, and a Jeon's model surgery chart (JMSC) was prepared. Model surgery was performed with Jeon's orthognathic surgery simulator (JOSS) using the JMSC, and an interim wafer was fabricated. Le Fort I osteotomy, bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy, and malar augmentation were performed. The patient received lateral cephalometric and posteroanterior cephalometric analysis in postretention for 1 year. The follow-up results were determined to be satisfactory, and skeletal relapse did not occur after 1.5 years of surgery. When maxillary and mandibular models are considered as rigid bodies, and their state of motion is described in a quantitative manner based on 6 DOF, sharing of exact information on locational movement in 3-dimensional space is possible. The use of JMSC and JOSS will actualize accurate communication and performance of model surgery among clinicians based on objective measurements.

양악 수술에서 교합평면의 위치설정은 수술 후 새로운 위치에서의 안정성을 결정하는 중요한 요인으로써 악교정 수술환자의 진단과 치료 계획시 반드시 고려되어져야 한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 악교정 수술 계획시 Delaire의 구조적 구성적 방법으로 이상적인 교합평면을 설정한 경우 교합평면의 장기적인 안정성에 대해서 고찰해봄으로써 향후 악교정 수술의 진단 및 치료계획에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 골격성 제 III급 부정교합 환자 중 Delaire의 구조적 구성적 방법으로 이상적인 교합평면을 설정하여 양악수술을 시행받은 환자 25명 (남자 8명, 여자 17명, 평균 연령 $23.2{\pm}3.17$세)를 대상으로 하여, 수술후 교합평면의 안정성에 대한 평가를 시행하였다. 수술직전($T_1$)과 수술직후($T_2$, 평균 15.4일), 수술 후 최소 1년 이상 경과후($T_3$, 평균 32.6개월)을 비교함으로써 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 양악 수술 후 교합평면각의 유의성 있는 변화는 없었으며, 수술방법(SSRO, IVRO)에 따른 유의성 있는 변화를 보이지 않았다. 2. 술후 교합평면의 변화는 수술에 의한 악골의 이동량이나 posterior impaction의 양, 수술후 경과시간과 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 3. 수술 후, SSRO 시행군에서는 유의하게 하악골의 전방이동이 일어났으며, IVRO 시행군에서는 하악골이 후하방 이동하면서 gonial angle과 하악평면각이 증가함으로써 하악 치아의 정출이 발생하였다.

Osteochondroma is a common benign tumor of bones, but it is rare in the mandibular condyle. With its outgrowth it manifests clinically as deviation of the mandible limitation of mouth opening, and facial asymmetry. After the tumor is diagnosed on the basis of clinical symptoms and radiographic examination including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis, an appropriate surgery and treatment plan should be formulated. Herein, we present the case of a 44-year-old female patient who visited our dental hospital because her chin point had been deviating to the left side slowly but progressively over the last 3 years and she had difficulty masticating. Based on CBCT, she was diagnosed with skeletal Class III malocclusion accompanied by osteochondroma of the right mandibular condyle. Maxillary occlusal cant with the right side down was observed, but it was confirmed to be an extrusion of the molars associated with dental compensation. Therefore, after intrusion of the right molars with the use of temporary anchorage devices, sagittal split ramus osteotomy was used to remove the tumor and perform orthognathic surgery simultaneously. During 6 months after the surgery, continuous bone resorption and remodeling were observed in the condyle of the affected side, which led to a change in occlusion. During the postoperative orthodontic treatment, intrusive force and buccal torque were applied to the molars on the affected side, and a proper buccal overjet was created. After 18 months, CBCT revealed that the rate of bone absorption was continuously reduced, bone corticalization appeared, and good occlusion and a satisfying facial profile were achieved.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to perform three-dimensional (3D) assessment of facial soft tissue in patients with skeletal Class III and mandibular asymmetry after orthognathic surgery. Methods: Samples consisted of 3D facial images obtained from five patients with A point-nasion-B point angle less than 2 degrees, and more than 5 mm of menton deviation. All patients had been treated at Gangneung-Wonju National University Dental Hospital from 2009 to 2012. They had undergone orthognathic surgery of Lefort I, and sagittal split osteotomy for correction of skeletal deformity, and orthodontic treatment. Facial scanning was performed before treatment (T1) and post-surgical orthodontic treatment (T2). Linear and angle variables of soft tissue landmarks, antero-posterior facial depth, and facial volume were measured. Results: No significant differences in width of the alar base, mouth width, and nasal canting were observed between T1 and T2. However, lip deviation, menton deviation, alar canting, lip canting, and menton deviation angle were significantly reduced at T2. Antero-posterior facial depth on the axial plane parallel to the left cheilion was significantly reduced on the deviated side and significantly increased on the non-deviated side at T2. Volume of the lower lateral and lower medial parts of the face was reduced on the deviated side, and volume of upper lateral and lower lateral parts on the non-deviated side was significantly increased at T2. Conclusion: After orthognathic surgery, facial asymmetry of soft tissue was improved following skeletal changes, especially the mandibular region. Although the length of the alar base and mouth width did not change, lip and soft tissue menton were displaced to the medial side after treatment. Facial depth also became symmetric after treatment. Facial volume showed a decrease on the lower part of the deviated side and that on lateral parts of the non-deviated side showed an increase after treatment.

제 III급 부정교합 환자의 치료를 위해서는 각 환자의 문제점들과 상태를 다양한 진단방법들을 동원하여 분석한 후에 가장 적절한 치료방법을 선택하여야 한다. 초진시에 치성 또는 기능성 또는 골격성인 원인들의 감별이 분명한 증례에서는 치료계획 수립이 큰 문제가 없지만, 감별이 모호한 증례에서는 많은 어려움을 경험하게 된다. 이에 저자는 각 치료방법을 적용하여 치료한 제III급 부정교합 환자 482명 (남;253,여 ;229)을 대상으로 치료방법에 따라 네 군으로 분류하였다. D군은 가철성 교정장치나 악기능장치를 사용하여 치료한 115명(남;64, 여;51), A군은 악정형장치로 치료한 210명 (남;111, 여 ;99), B군은 고정식 교정장치로 Camouflage 하여 치료한 63명 (남;30, 여 ;33), C군은 악교정 수술로 치료한 94명(남;48, 여;46)이었다. 초진시에 촬영한 측모두부방사선사진에서 전후방, 수직적, 치성, 악골의 형태학적인 계측항목들을 선정하여 각 군에서 측정한 계측치의 평균값 및 표준편차를 구하였고 네 군간의 유의성 여부를 검정하여 아래와 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. SNA각과 Nasion Perpendicular Plane에서 A점까지의 거리는 네 군간에 유의한 차이가 없었으며, SNB, Wits, Nasion Perpendicular Plane에서 B점까지의 거리, Facial angle, Facial convexity, APDI의 값은 C,A,B,D군의 순이었지만 A군과 B군간에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 2. 전안면고경, 후안면고경, 하전안면고경의 값이 남자에서는 C,B,A,D의 순으로 유의성 있는 차이를 나타냈으며, 여자에서는 C와 B군간에는 유의한 차이가 없게 나타났다. 3. 남자에서 전두개저에 대한 하악체 길이의 비율, 하악체의 길이와 Symphysis의 길이는 C,B,A,D순으로 나타났으나 B군과 A군사이에는 유의한 차이가 없었고, 여자에서는 Ramus height, 하악체 길이, 전두개저에 대한 하악체 길이의 비율이 네군에서 유의한 차이를 나타냈고 Symphysis의 길이는 C군과 B군 사이에서는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 4. 상악전치 치축은 C,B,A,D순으로 크게 나타났으며 네 군간에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 5. Nasolabial angle의 값은 C,A,B,D순으로 작게 나타났으나 유의한 차이는 C와 A,B,D군 간에서만 나타났다.
