The purpose of the study is to estimate hard and soft tissue changes after orthognathic surgery for the correction of the mandibular prognathism and to describe interrelationship and ratios of soft and hard tissue changes. The presurgical and postsurgical lateral cephalograms of 31 treated patients(17 males and 14 females) was used ; these patients had received combined orthodontic-surgical treatment by means of a bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy. Their ages ranged from 16 to 31 years and mean age was 21.4 years. A computerized cephalometric appraisal was developed and used to analyse linear and angular changes of skeletal and soft tissue profile. The statistical elaboration of the data was made by means of $SPSS/PC^+$. The results of the study were as follows : 1. The correlations of soft and hard tissue horizontal changes were significantly high and the ratios were $97\%$ at LI, $107\%$ at ILS, and $93\%$ at Pog'. 2. The correlations of vertical changes at Stm, LI and horizontal changes at Pog were high$(26\%)$ and at the other areas were not statistically high. 3. The correlations of soft ad hard tissue vertical changes were not significantly high in all areas except Gn' $(30\%)$ and Me' $(56\%)$. 4. The soft tissue thickness was significantly decreased in upper lip and increased in lower lip, and the amount of changes after surgery was reversely correlated with initial thickness. 5. The facial convexity was increased and relative protrusion of upper lip was increased and that of lower lip was decreased. 6. The upper to lower facial height(Gl-Sn/Sn-Me') was increased and upper to lower jaw height(Sn-Stms/Stmi-Me') was increased.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of heritability on the craniofacial soft tissue cephalometric characteristics of monozygotic (MZ) twins, dizygotic (DZ) twins, and their siblings (SIB). Methods: The samples comprised Korean adult twins and their siblings (mean age, 39.8 years; MZ group, n = 36 pairs; DZ group, n = 13 pairs of the same gender; and SIB group, n = 26 pairs of the same gender). Thirty cephalometric variables were measured to characterize facial profile, facial height, soft-tissue thickness, and projection of nose and lip. Falconer's method was used to calculate heritability (low heritability, $h^2$ < 0.2; high heritability, $h^2$ > 0.9). After principal components analysis (PCA) was performed to extract the models, we calculated the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value and heritability of each component. Results: The MZ group exhibited higher ICC values for all cephalometric variables than DZ and SIB groups. Among cephalometric variables, the highest ${h^2}_{(MZ-DZ)}$ and ${h^2}_{(MZ-SIB)}$ values were observed for the nasolabial angle (NLA, 1.544 and 2.036), chin angle (1.342 and 1.112), soft tissue chin thickness (2.872 and 1.226), and upper lip thickness ratio (1.592 and 1.026). PCA derived eight components with 84.5% of a cumulative explanation. The components that exhibited higher values of ${h^2}_{(MZ-DZ)}$ and ${h^2}_{(MZ-SIB)}$ were PCA2, which includes facial convexity, NLA, and nose projection (1.026 and 0.972), and PCA7, which includes chin angle and soft tissue chin thickness (2.107 and 1.169). Conclusions: The nose and soft tissue chin were more influenced by genetic factors than other soft tissues.

The purpose of this study was to obtain the cephalometric maxillofacial soft tissue measurements, and to define the differences that exist between males and females on the soft tissue profile who had normal occlusion in mixed dentitions. For the object of this study, cephalometric radiographs were obtained from the centric occlusion with the relaxed lip position. Copper filter was designed to obtain both hard and soft tissue structure on the same film. The subjects consist of 100 males and 100 females from 8 to 12.4 years with the normal occlusion and acceptable profiles. The author measured facial depth, vertical height from the tissue profiles in the mixed dentitions. The significant test compare males with females. The following results were obtained from the study 1. In facial convexity, much more larger females than that of males. 2. Inclination of the lip posture were more larger in maxilla (male) and in females more larger in the mandible. 3. The thickness of soft tissue were thicker in males, the height of nose were more prominent in females. 4. There were no significant differences in both sexes.

This study was designed to analyze morphological characteristics of Korean young adults, norms and standard deviation of variables, sexual differences, correlationship between each area of face and correlationship between hard tissue and soft tissue. The primary sample consisted of 45 males and 57 females who were early and middle twenties and had acceptable profile, no history of previous orthodontic treatment, absence of remarkably large overjet and overbite, full complement of permanent teeth, Class I skeletal and dental relationships and good vertical facial proportions. Their cephalograms were analyzed morphologically with a computer morphometrics. Then the final sample - 25 males and 38 females - were selected within 1 S.D. of E-line, ANB, P/A facial height ratio, Interincisal angle, L1 to A-Pog, ODI and APDI. The results of the study were as follows: 1 In the form and proportion of facial skeleton there were no significant differences between males and females, but in the size males were larger than females. 2. The dental protrusion patterns had no significant sexual difference and no significant correlationship between protrusion of upper lip and inclination of upper incisor. But mentolabial angle had positively correlated with interincisal angle and negatively with inclination of upper and lower incisor. 3. In the relationship between nose and soft-tissue profile, males were larger than females in nasal length, height and angular measurements. 4. In analysis of soft-tissue profile, males were larger than females in the length and thickness. In the angular measurements and proportion of soft-tissue profile, there were no significant differences between males and females.

현대 교정의 치료 목표는 기능 교합과 안모의 심미성에 있다고 하겠으나 이중 심미적 외모에 대한 중요성은 시대의 흐름에 따라 점차 증가하고 있다. 이런 상황에서 경조직과 연조직의 성장과 발육에 대한 지식은 필수적이라 하겠다. 이전의 연구는 주로 두부방사선적 연구를 통한 골격적 분석에 치중하여 왔다. 하지만 안모의 심미성에 관해 중요한 역할을 하는 악안면 연조직은 하부경조직의 영향을 받지만 긴밀한 연관 관계를 구하기는 어렵다는 연구들이 근래에 보고되었다. 이에 본 저자는 성장기 한국인 3-11세 아동 중에 전신 질환이 없고 발육 상태가 양호하며 교합 상태가 정상인 남자 137명과 여자 106명을 대상으로 만 2년간 두부 방사선 사진을 채득하여 연조직의 분석을 facial form, lip position & posture, Nose, Thickness의 4 부분으로 나누어 성장과의 관계를 연구한바 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다. 1. Facial Form Facial convexity가 남자 아동에 있어서 약간의 증가량을 보였는데 이는 A-Sn의 증가율이 남자 아동에서 큰 것과 관련이 있는 듯하다. 또한 안면 하방 구조가 시간이 지남에 따라 상방 구조보다 더 많은 성장이 일어났다. 2. Lip position and posture Nasolabial angle은 연령에 따라 큰 변화가 없는 것으로 보이며 이 평균값은 남자 93.11, 여자 97.56으로 서양인의 102보다는 예각을 보였으며 Esthetic line에 대한 돌출도는 대체로 큰 변화가 없었다. 남자 아동이 여자 아동보다 입술의 돌출도가 더 큰 값을 보였는데 이는 심미적 이유로 발치를 고려할 때 차이를 보일 수 있는 결과라고 하겠다. 상악 전치의 노출도는 남녀 공히 2-3mm의 값을 보였다. 3. Nose 비저의 절대적 길이는 성장에 따라 증가하는데 비해 Sn-N'-Pn은 연령 증가의 변화가 없었는데 이는 코의 성장이 전하방으로 이루어지기 때문이다. 4. Thickness A-Sn의 길이는 남녀 아동에 있어서 연령에 따라 증가하였는데 그중 남자 아동에 있어서 변화폭이 컸다. 상순 후경과 하순 후경 역시 연령에 따라 증가하였으나 Pogonion의 연조직 두께는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았는데 이는 다른 연구 결과와 유사한 결과이다.

Facial esthetics is one of the most important goal of the orthodontic treatment and main concern of many patients. Facial esthetics should be considered in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Prediction of soft tissue profile changes after orthodontic tooth movement should be considered as well. The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of orthodontic treatment on lip profile in adult patient. The pre and post treatment cephalometric roentgenograms of 87 female adult with bimaxillary protrusion were used to analyze lip profile change. All subjects were treated with four bicuspids extraction. Obtained results were as follows . 1. Lip thickness changes after incisor retraction showed different patterns according to areas of the lip. The thickness of the red lip area showed 2.78 mm increase in average. In contrast the thickness of the cutaneous area showed 0.65 - 0.7 mm decrease according to the different cutaneous areas. 2. The length of the red lip area decreased(1.3mm) after incisor retraction. 3. The length of the cutaneous lip area increased(2.9mm) after incisor retraction.

Background: A compact passive oxide layer can grow on tantalum (Ta). It has been reported that this oxide layer can facilitate bone ingrowth in vivo though the development of bone-like apatite, which promotes hard and soft tissue adhesion. Thus, Ta surface treatment on facial implant materials may improve the tissue response, which could result in less fibrotic encapsulation and make the implant more stable on the bone surface. The purposes of this study were to verify whether surface treatment of facial implant materials using Ta can improve the biohistobiological response and to determine the possibility of potential clinical applications. Methods: Two different and commonly used implant materials, silicone and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), were treated via Ta ion implantation using a Ta sputtering gun. Ta-treated samples were compared with untreated samples using in vitro and in vivo evaluations. Osteoblast (MG-63) and fibroblast (NIH3T3) cell viability with the Ta-treated implant material was assessed, and the tissue response was observed by placing the implants over the rat calvarium (n = 48) for two different lengths of time. Foreign body and inflammatory reactions were observed, and soft tissue thickness between the calvarium and the implant as well as the bone response was measured. Results: The treatment of facial implant materials using Ta showed a tendency toward increased fibroblast and osteoblast viability, although this result was not statistically significant. During the in vivo study, both Ta-treated and untreated implants showed similar foreign body reactions. However, the Ta-treated implant materials (silicone and ePTFE) showed a tendency toward better histological features: lower soft tissue thickness between the implant and the underlying calvarium as well as an increase in new bone activity. Conclusion: Ta surface treatment using ion implantation on silicone and ePTFE facial implant materials showed the possibility of reducing soft tissue intervention between the calvarium and the implant to make the implant more stable on the bone surface. Although no statistically significant improvement was observed, Ta treatment revealed a tendency toward an improved biohistological response of silicone and ePTFE facial implants. Conclusively, tantalum treatment is beneficial and has the potential for clinical applications.

현대의 교정치료에 있어 치열궁의 문제뿐 아니라 안모에 관한 비중이 높아지고 있고, 특히 안모형태를 결정하는 연조직의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 과거의 교정학 발달을 살펴볼 때 두부방사선 계측사진을 통한 경조직성장에 관한 연구는 많이 이루어 졌으나 연조직 성장변화에 관한 연구는 아직 미비하다고 볼 수 있다. 특히 국내에서의 이러한 연구는 연구대상자 수와 분석방법, 계측방법에 있어서 상당한 다양성을 보이고, 성장변화에 대한 연구는 태부족한 현실이다. 이에 본 연구는 한국인 남.녀 6세에서 17세 사이의 악안면 성장과 발육에 관한 준종단적 연구의 일부로 시행되었으며 3년간에 걸쳐 전신질환이 없고 발육상태가 양호하며 정상교합을 갖는 6-17세의 남자 409명과 여자 436명의 아동을 대상으로 하였다. 이들 아동의 성장에 따른 안면부 연조직의 변화양상을 연구하기 위해 두개안면계측사진을 촬영하여 안모의 형태, 입술의 위치 및 형태, 코의 형태 그리고 입술의 두께 등을 계측한 후 연령별, 성별 평균과 표준편차를 구하고 도표로 표시하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 결 론 1. 일반적으로 안모의 형태(facial form)는 여자에서보다 남자에서 더 장기간 성장이 지속되었으며 안면의 상부에 비하여 안면 하부구조의 길이가 더욱 큰 증가율을 보였다. 2. 상순과 하순의 두께는 연령의 증가에 따라 큰 변화가 없었으나, 서양아동에 비하여 돌출된 입술의 양상을 보였다. 3. 코의 수평방향으로의 길이는 연령의 증가와 함께 증가하였다. 4. 하안면부의 수평적인 두께는 연령에 따라 증가하였으며 상순의 비저부위의 두께[A-Sn(FH)]의 성장이 다른부위에 비하여 크게 증가하였다.
