Background: In cleft lip patients, the necessity of a thorough preoperative analysis of facial deformities before reconstruction is unquestioned. The surgical plan of cleft lip patient is based on the information gained from our preoperative anthropometric evaluation. A variety of commercially available three-dimensional (3D) surface imaging systems are currently introduced to us in plastic surgery for these use. However, few studies have been published on the soft tissue morphology of unrepaired cleft infants described by these 3D surface imaging systems. Methods: The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of facial anthropometric measurements obtained through digital 3D photogrammetry and to compare with direct anthropometry for measurement in unilateral cleft lip patients. We compared our patients with three measurements of dimension made on both sides: heminasal width, labial height, and transverse lip length. Results: The preoperative measurements were not significantly different in both side of labial height and left side of heminasal width. Statistically significant differences were found on both side of transverse lip length and right side of heminasal width. Although the half of preoperative measurements were significantly different, trends of results showed average results were comparable. Conclusion: This is the first study in Korea to simultaneously compare digital 3D photogrammetry with traditional direct anthropometry in unilateral cleft lip patients. We desire this study could contribute the methodological choice of the many researchers for proper surgical planning in cleft lip reconstruction field.

상악 전치부와 같은 심미성이 요구되는 부위의 치료 시에는 건강하고, 주위조직과 조화를 이루며 매력적인 미소선의 형성을 염두에 두어야 한다. 이에 관하여 미소선, 연조직 및 경조직의 형태뿐 아니라 치아의 해부학적 형태와 비율 또한 고려하여야 한다. 상악 측절치의 왜소치(peg lateralis)로 인한 치간이개 및 부적절한 치은 형태로 인해 비심미적인 상악 전치부 비율을 가진 환자에서는 교정치료만으로 심미적 수복이 이루어지기 힘들 수 있다. 이런 경우, 교정치료가 끝난 이후 치아-치은-안면 구도에서의 진단 및 분석을 통한 치은절제술 및 보철적 수복을 통해 치아간의 근/원심, 폭/길이 비율을 개선시켜야 심미적으로 만족할 만한 결과를 얻어낼 수 있다. 또한, 상악 측절치의 왜소치(peg lateralis) 치아 비율 개선을 위한 보철물 제작 시 치질삭제가 적으며 인접치와 유사한 색조가 재현 가능하고 투명도가 높은 도재 라미네이트 비니어(Porcelain laminate veneer, PLV)가 선호되고 있다. 본 증례에서는 두 명의 20세 여자 환자로 교정치료 후 상악 측절치의 왜소치로 인한 치간이개 및 부적절한 치은 형태로 인해 비심미적인 상악 전치부 비율을 가진 환자에서의 체계적인 진단 및 치료과정을 통해 심미성이 개선된 보철 수복 증례를 보고하고자 한다.

본 연구의 목적은 구순이 이완되도록 개구한 상태(relaxed lip position)에서 촬영한 측모 두부방사선사진과 일반적으로 채득하는 중심교합위에서 입술을 다문 상태(closed lip position)의 측모 두부방사선 사진에서 비순각의 변화 양상을 비교하여 안모 분석 시 relaxed lip position의 중요성을 검토하는 것이다. 전치부 반대교합을 보이는 골격성 III급 부정교합 성인환자(평균 23.3세) 60명(남자 35명, 여자 25명)을 연구대상으로 선정하였다. 구순이 이완되도록 개구한 상태에서와 중심교합 상태에서의 비순각 차이를 비교한 결과 유의성 있는 차이가 있었으며, 비순각의 변화량 사이의 유사성을 기준으로 좀 더 객관적으로 분류하여 분석하고자 군집분석을 통해 제1군(27명, 45%, 구순 이완시 비순각이 감소하는 군), 제2군(30명, 50%, 구순 이완 시 비순각이 증가하는 군), 제3군(3명, 5%, 구순 이완 시 비순각이 예외적으로 크게 증가하는 군)으로 분류하였다. 제1군에서는 상순이 전체적으로 후방 이동되며 비순각은 변화가 없거나 오히려 감소하였으며, 제2군에서는 상순이 후하방 회전되며 비순각이 증가하였다. 제3군에서는 상순이 하순과 하악전치에 의해 상방으로 압박되었다가(compression)이완되며 비순각이 크게 증가하였다. 이상의 연구 결과에서 골격성 III급 부정교합자에서 구순이 이완된 상태에 대해 중심 교합 시의 비순각의 변화가 다양한 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 정확한 안모분석과 수술-교정 치료 후의 연조직 심미성의 예측을 위해 기록 채득과 분석 시 이완된 구순 위치에 대한 고려가 필요하며 이러한 자세로 진단용 방사선 사진을 촬영하는 것이 필요하다고 생각되었다.

Purpose : A new method of lateral cephalometric analysis for midface, focusing on zygomatic bone, was created in this study, and measured in Korean adults. The purposes of this study are understanding about new approach for midfacial depression, especially zygomatic bone, and using to make adequate diagnosis and treatment plan. Materials and methods : In this study, esthetic Korean adults, 25 males and 25 females who were between $0^{\circ}$ and $4^{\circ}$ in ${\angle}ANB$, and between 62% and 70% in P/A facial height ratio, and had normal overbite and overjet, were used. Orbitale(Or) and Soft tissue orbitale(Or') were used for indicators of anteroposterior position of zygomatic area. And, mean value and standard deviation of linear and angular measurements, and ratio about each linear measurements, were obtained. then, standard deviation diagram - wiggle diagram - was made for visualization of results. Results : Mean values, standard deviations and ranges of 19 measurements were obtained, and among them, 5 linear measurements that had large standard deviation were excluded and the others were used for making standard deviation diagram. In standard deviation diagram, the following results were obtained. 1. If the measurements are located on more left side of mean-value-vertical -line, the potential of midfacial hypoplasia are stronger, especially zygomatic area. 2. If the measurements are located on more right side of mean-value-vertical-line, the potential of midfacial hypoplasia are decreased. Conclusion : This study presented a new method of lateral cephalometric analysis focusing on zygomatic bone in Korean adults. We expect that the results of this study can be used as parameter when clinicians make decisions about diagnosis and treatment plan for rehabilitation of esthetics and function. But, it is necessary to prove its usefulness, and to further evaluate the results.

Objective: This study examined cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-derived multiplanar-reconstructed (MPR) cross-sections to clarify the salient characteristics of patients with skeletal class III malocclusion with midface deficiency (MD). Methods: The horizontal and sagittal plane intersection points were identified for middle-third facial analysis in 40 patients in the MD or normal (N) groups. MPR images acquired parallel to each horizontal plane were used for length and angular measurements. Results: A comparison of the MD and N groups revealed significant differences in the zygoma prominence among female patients. The convex zygomatic area in the N group was larger than that in the MD group, and the inferior part of the midface in the N group was smaller than that in the MD group for both male and female patients. A significant difference was observed in the concave middle maxillary area among male patients. Conclusions: This study was conducted to demonstrate the difference between MD and normal face through MPR images derived from CBCT. Male patients in the MD group had a more flattened face than did those in the N group. Female patients in the MD group showed a concave-shaped lower section of the zygoma, which tended to have more severe MD. These findings indicate that orthognathic surgery to improve skeletal discrepancy requires different approaches in male and female patients.

Background Anterior palatal repair performed during cleft lip repair using a vomerine flap may assist in recruiting additional soft tissue for subsequent completion of palatoplasty, especially in patients with a wide cleft. We present our early results in the hope of triggering a re-evaluation of this technique regarding its advantages for maxillary growth through further studies of patients with a wide cleft. Methods A retrospective analysis of patients with complete unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate was performed, including cleft and palatal measurements taken during initial surgery (lip repair together with anterior palate repair) and upon completion of palatoplasty. Results In total, 14 patients were included in this study, of whom nine (63.3%) had unilateral cleft lip and palate and five (37.5%) had bilateral cleft. All patients had a wide cleft palate. Lip and anterior palate repair was done at a median age of 3 months, while completion of palatoplasty was done at a median age of 10.5 months. Measurements taken upon completion of palatoplasty showed significant cleft width reduction in the mid-palate and intertubercle regions; however, the palatal arch distances at nearby landmarks showed non-significant marginal changes. Conclusions Anterior palate repair using a vomerine flap significantly reduced the remaining cleft width, while the palatal width remained. Further research is warranted to explore the long-term effects of this technique in wide cleft patients in terms of facial growth.

Improvement of orthognathic surgical techniques make it possible to design esthetic surgical correction for total esthetic face. In order to find the esthetic line which guide esthetic surgical correction in patients of orthognathic surgery, cephalometric soft tissue analysis of esthetic faces were performed. In esthetic Korean young adults, 25 males and 25 females who were within 1 S.D. of E-line, ANB, P/A facial height ratio, were analyzed in natural position keeping their face eye level. 1. Sn position is constant in males and females. The Sn-N'-N' Vertical plane angle is $5.3^{\circ}$ in both sexes. Sn is positioned in front of 5 mm in female 7 mm in male from the N' vertical plane. 2. The Sn-Ls line make constant angle to horizontal plane with $72.5^{\circ}$ in both sexes, which is called "upper esthetic line". The Ls-Pg' line makes constant angle to $72.4^{\circ}$ (range $72.2^{\circ}$ in female to $72.6^{\circ}$ in male), which is called "lower esthetic line". 3. When inter-esthetic line angle (the Sn-Ls line to Ls-Pg' line) has $144.9^{\circ}$, lower third face has esthetic upper and lower lip. 4. In treatment planning, Sn is first corrected in proper position, and then upper and lower esthetic line are established with the angle of 144.9. The maxilla is moved to tangent Ls to the upper esthetic line, and mandible is moved to tangent Li and Pg' to the lower esthetic line, according to the "y"-shaped esthetic lines, then lower third face showes esthetics.
