Three-dimensional solid model has not been widely used in surgical prediction of orthognathic surgery because frequent artifacts from occlusal restorations or prosthesis limited the usefulness of simulated surgery involving occlusion. We prepared three-dimensional(3D) solid model from CT data and integrated the 3D solid model with dental cast using a face-bow transfer technique combined with skeletal reference measurement and confirmation with cephalometric radiographs. With this simple and easy method, it was possible to predict bony interference between the proximal and distal segment of the mandible so that we can prevent condylar displacement after sagittal split ramus osteotomy of the mandible with prominent asymmetry. The method error was within 2mm and it seemed to be useful in preoperative planning for maxillofacial surgery with maxillo-mandibular occlusal change.

Introduction: 모든 정복성 관절원판변위가 비정복성 관절원판변위로 진행되는 것은 아니지만 심각한 포착이나 걸림을 동반하는 정복성 관절원판변위는 비정복성 관절원판변위로 진행하게 된다. 이번 연구에서는 Locking-free Appliance(LA)를 이용한 개구운동치료의 효과를 살펴보고자 한다. Patients and Method: 후향적으로, 2010년 1월부터 2011년 12월까지 전북대학교병원 치과진료처 구강내과에서 LA를 이용한 개구운동치료를 받은 37명의 환자를 대상으로 분석을 시행하였다. 환자는 LA를 착용한 상태에서 하루 30번의 개구운동을 할 것을 교육받았다. Results: 치료를 받은 환자들 중 비정복성 관절원판변위로 악화된 환자는 없었다. 37명 중 16명의 환자들은 과두걸림 없이 개구가 가능해졌다. Mann-whitney test와 fisher's test, Chi-square test를 이용하여 분석 시, 과두걸림이 해소된 환자와 그렇지 않은 환자간의 나이, 성별, 통증유무, 과두걸림 호소 기간, 통증의 정도(VAS score)에는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. Conclusion: 이번 연구에서, LA를 이용한 개구운동치료 후 일부 환자는 과두걸림 없이 개구가 가능해졌고, 일부 환자는 과두걸림이 해소되지 않았으나, 비정복성 관절원판변위로 악화된 경우는 없었다. 이 치료는 기존의 전통적인 치료방법에 비해 환자의 교합장치 착용 시간이 짧고, 비용이 저렴하며, 환자의 불편함을 최소화 할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 따라서, LA를 이용한 개구운동치료는 과두걸림을 해소하거나, 비정복성 관절원판변위로의 악화를 예방하는데 새로운 치료방법이 될 것으로 기대된다.

이 연구의 목적은 측두하악관절장애와 외측 익돌근의 수평적 형태 간의 연관성을 조사하는 것이다. 이를 위해 10대에서 50대까지 연령군별로 각 남녀 15명씩 임의로 선정한 총 150명의 측두하악관절장애 환자에서 자기공명영상의 수평면 및 시상면상에서 나타난 외측 익돌근 및 측두하악관절의 형태적 특성을 조사하였다. 조사한 해부학적 특성은 외측 익돌근의 최대폭경, 수평 부착각도, 관절원판의 위치, 과두의 변형여부, 관절 삼출액 여부 등이며, 또한 전이부의 통증여부, 과두 주변의 압통 유무와 같은 임상적 소견이 포함되었다. 이들 해부학적 특성 및 임상적 소견의 상호 간 관련성을 분석한 결과, 비정복성 관절원판 변위를 가진 경우 외측 익돌근의 부착각도가 유의하게 높았으며 전이부에 통증이 있는 경우에는 최대 폭경이 유의하게 큰 것으로 나타났다. 뿐만 아니라 연령이 낮을수록 부착각도가 유의하게 높았으며 남성에서 최대 폭경이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 위의 결과를 통해 외측 익돌근 수평 부착각도가 관절원판 변위와 유의한 관련성이 있으며 전이부의 통증이 최대 폭경을 증가시키는 것으로 생각된다. 결론적으로 외측 익돌근의 높은 수평 부착각도가 관절원판 변위 발생의 중요한 해부학적 기여요인이 될 수 있으며, 측두하악관절의 통증은 외측 익돌근의 활성에 영향을 줄 수 있을 것으로 추정된다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the stress distribution and displacement in mandible according to treatment modalities of mandibular angle fractures, using a three dimensional finite element analysis. A mechanical model of an edentulous mandible was generated from 3D scan. A 100-N axial load and four masticatory muscular supporting system were applied to this model. According to the number, location and materials of titanium and biodegradable polymer plates, the experimental groups were divided into five types. Type I had a single titanium plate in the superior border of mandibular angle, type II had two titanium plates in the superior tension border and in the inferior compression border of mandibular angle, type III had a single titanium plate in the ventral area of mandibular angle, type IV had a single biodegradable polymer plate in the superior border of mandibular angle, type V had a single biodegradable polymer plate in the ventral area of mandibular angle. The results obtained from this study were follows: 1. Stress was concentrated on the condylar neck of the fractured side except Type III. 2. The values of von-Mises stress of the screws were the highest in the just-posterior screw of the fracture line, and in the just-anterior screw of Type III. 3. The displacement of mandible in Type III was 0.04 mm, and in Type I, II, IV, and V were 0.10 mm. 4. The plates were the most stable in the ventral area of mandibular angle (Type III, V). In conclusion, the ventral area of mandibular angle is the most stable location in the fixation of mandibular angle fractures, and the just- posterior and/or the just-anterior screws of the fracture line must be longer than the other, and surgeons have to fix accurately these screws, and the biodegradable polymer plate also was suitable for the treatment of mandible angle fracture.

Recently, the controversy continues as to whether maximum intercuspation of teeth should occur at the terminal hinge position(the condylar theory) or at the myo-co(the neuromuscular theory). There is also much controversy regarding the antero-posterior position of myo-co. The object of this study was to measure and compare with the positional relations of centric relation, centric occlusion and myo-co, and free-way space using Mandibular Kinesiograph and Myo-monitor in the 40 subjects without stomatognathic problems. Mandibular Kinesiograph(M.K.G.) was originally conceived as a research instrument to track mandibular movement and position. As its use in research progressed, its great diagnostic value became apparent in case by case. And Myo-monitor was developed as a means of applying the neuromuscular approach to occlusion. Thus the Myo-monitor technique is an intra-systemic approach to occlusal positioning using patient's own musculature, and Myo-monitor is used to relax the musculature by a light myopulse induced electronically. From this experiment, the following results were obtained. 1. The adaptive free-way space before muscle relaxation was an average of $1.6{\pm}60mm$, and the true free-way space after muscle relaxation using Myo-monitor was an average of $2.4{\pm}0.74mm$. 2. It took an average of $25{\pm}3.11$ minutes to relax the mandibular musculature by Myo-monitor and administration of 5mg. Diazepam and an average of $38{\pm}4.73$ minutes by Myo-monitor without administration of Diazepam. 3. Myo-co existed anterior to centric occlusion, with an average of $0.53{\pm}0.31$ mm, and centric relation existed posterior to centric occlusion, with an average of $0.57{\pm}0.58mm$ before muscle relaxation and with an average of $0.57{\pm}0.43mm$ after muscle relaxation. 4. Centric relation coincided with centric occlusion in 5 of 40 subjects(12.5%), and posterior to centric occlusion in the rest of cases (87.5%). 5. Myo-co existed anterior to centric occlusion in 38 of 40 subjects(95%), except 1 subject that coincided with centric occlusion and 1 subject that existed posterior to centric occlusion. 6. Myo-co and centric relation existed inferior to centric occlusion and the lateral displacement was various with individual difference. 7. The total displacement from centric occlusion to centric relation was an average of $0.74{\pm}0.64mm$ before muscle relaxation, and an average of $0.68{\pm}0.53mm$ after muscle relaxation, and the total displacement from centric occlusion to myo-co was an average of $1.07{\pm}0.58mm$.

The purpose of this investigation was to know correlation of mean values between centric occlusion and centric relation by the cephalogram in Angle's Class Ⅰ and Ⅲ malocclusion subjects. 22 adults with Angle's Class Ⅰ malocclusion (17 men and 5 women, 21 to 27 years of age) and 14 adults with Angle's Class Ⅲ malocclusion (10 men and 4 women, 21 to 27 years of age) were selected from the dental students in Yonsei University. Each subject was given two lateral cephalometric radiographies and cephalometric analysis was performed. All data from these analyses was recorded and statistically processed with CYBER computer system. 1. The results were obtained as follows: There was a strong positive correlation between centric occlusion and centric relation in all subjects with Angle's Class Ⅰ and Ⅲ malocclusion. 2. In Angle's Class Ⅰ malocclusion, measurements in lower facial height revealed significant difference between centric occlusion and centric relation (P<0.05). In Angle's Class Ⅲmalocclusion, measurements in facial axis angle, mandibular plane angle, convexity of A point, lower incisor protrusion, lower facial height revealed significant difference between centric occlusion and centric relation (P<0.05). 3. When the mandible was moved from centric occlusion to centric relation, the mean distance of mandibular movement was 1.27㎜ (0.2-2.8㎜) in Angle's Class Ⅰ malocclusion, 1.70㎜ (0.55-4.15㎜) in Angle's Class Ⅲ malocclusion, and 1.44㎜ (0.2-4.15㎜) in all subjects.

This study was intended to evaluate condyle position and the relationship of condyle position change and post surgical relapse following the sagittal split ramus osteotomy for mandible setback in 25 patients by paired t-test and multiple regression analysis. We used oblique transcranial and cephalometric radiographs taken before operation, immediate after operation, and at least 6 months post operatively. 1. In oblique transcranial view, posterior joint space was decreased immediate after operation and increased 6 months after operation. To compare the measurement before and 6 months after operation, there was no statistically significant change in over all joint spaces(P>0.05). 2. The joint spaces changed under the 0.2mm were 30%, 0.2mm to 1.0mm were 60.7%, above 1.0mm were 9.3%. This result reveals that condyle position was relatively reproduced to pre-operative state. 3. Statistically, the amount of mandible set back didn't influence the post operative relapse(P>0.05). 4. Statistically, the amount of mandible set back didn't influence the condylar displacement(P>0.05), and the amount of joint space change didn't influence the post operative relapse.(P>0.05) The changes in joint space is in the standard tracing error or within the adaptive capacity of the individual, it was too small to influence the stability of surgery.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the condylar position in relation to the glenoid fossa before and after orthodontic-orthognathic surgical treatment and to investigate the relationship with skeletal relapse. Materials and Methods: Lateral cephalograms and temporomandibular joint tomograms from 19 patients with mandibular prognathism who received orthodontic-orthognathic surgery were included in this study. Samples were divided into two groups based on skeletal change during the retention period. The relapse group consisted of 7 patients (3 females and 4 males; mean age, 21.9 years) whose pogonion or menton displaced more than 1 mm during the retention period and the stable group consisted of 12 patients (5 females and 7 males; mean age, 21.7 years). Anterior joint space, posterior joint space, superior joint space, and anteroposterior index were measured on tomograms at pretreatment and posttreatment timepoints. Condyle position and frequency of the positional change were compared between both groups. Results: In the relapse group and stable group, 42.9% and 45.8% of the condyles, respectively, showed forward or backward displacement at posttreatment. However, the changes were small and the mean anterior, posterior, superior joint spaces and frequencies of the positional changes did not differ statistically between both groups. Conclusion: Our results suggest that small positional changes of the condyle, which may occur after orthodontic-orthognathic surgery treatment, may not be related to skeletal relapse after removal of the orthodontic appliances.
