Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate transverse changes of proximal segment after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) using 3-D CT in mandibular prognathism. Patients and methods: Twenty-two patients who underwent BSSRO for mandibular set-back in class III malocclusion without facial asymmetry were examined. Miniplates were used for the fixation after BSSRO. Facial CT was taken before and after BSSRO within 3 months. Frontal-ramal inclination (FRI), inter-gonial width (IGW) and intercondylar width (ICW) were measured in 3-D CT images using V-works $4.0^{TM}$ program. Student t-test was used to compare the changes between pre- and post-operative measurements using SPSS 10.0 program. Results: 1. Mean peroperative FRI value ($12.87{\pm}3.43^{\circ}$) was slightly increased to postoperative value ($14.13{\pm}3.72^{\circ}$) (p < 0.05). The average FRI increased 10.42% and the range was from $-2.46^{\circ}$ to $3.34^{\circ}$. 2. Mean peroperative IGW ($99.01{\pm}5.36$) was slightly decreased to postoperative IGW ($96.51{\pm}5.88mm$) (p < 0.05). The average IGW decreased 2.52 % and the range was from $-6.61^{\circ}$ to 0.91 mm. 3. Mean preoperative ICW ($125.01{\pm}5.30mm$) was slightly decreased to postoperative ICW ($125.40{\pm}5.45mm$) (p < 0.05). There is no significant difference between pre- and post-operative ICW. 4. There was significant correlationship between FRI difference and IGW difference (p < 0.05). Conclusions: These results indicate that the lower ramus of the proximal segment is moved inward after BSSRO procedure for mandibular set-back.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of Chuna and taping treatment in patients with genu varum. Methods : Twenty-seven patients(male:10, female:17) with genu varum were recruited in this study. Chuna treatment at pelvic, and taping treatment at both legs were applied to whole participants. Outcomes were assessed using Q-angle(Quadriceps angle, QA), tibiofemoral angle(TFA), width and length of lesser trochanter(LT), pelvic incidence(PI), pelvic(PT), sacral slope(SS), lumber lordosis angle(LLA), meridian-electromyography(MEMG), Korean western ontario and McMaster universities osteoarthritis index(KWOMAC), and distance of femoral intercondylar distance(ICD). Results : 1. QA, LT width and LT length in radiograph were significantly increased. 2. PI, SS, PT and TFA in radiograph were significantly decreased. 3. The left vastus medialis portion contraction of female was significantly decreased after treatment. 4. The left rectus femoris portion fatigue was significantly decreased after treatment in male subjects. 5. The vastus medialis portion fatigue was significantly decreased after treatment in female subjects. 6. The distance of femoral ICD was significantly decreased. Conclusions : This study showed that Chuna and taping treatment could be used as an effective method for the treatment of genu varum.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change in condylar position, width, and angle before and after orthognathic surgery using 3-dimensional computed tomograph. Pre and posterative 3-D CT was taken on 38 patients and through axial, frontal, sagittal measurements and by 3-dimensional reconstruction, the changes in condylar postion, mandibular width and angle were analyzed and others such as the difference in gender, operation and fixation method, setback length and in relation with temporomandibular disorders were done together too. The results were as follows: The inward rotation of condyle in axial condylar angle, the forward movement of right condyle in sagittal anterior-posterior distance, the superior movement of both condyles in sagittal superior-inferior distance, the decrease in gonial angle, the increase in mandibular width, the decrease in distance between the axial coronoid process distance and the increase in the frontal intercondylar distance were statistically significant. There were no statistically significant changes in gender difference, however in the difference in operation method, change in the gonial angle was observed and there was more change in bilateral sagittal split osteotomy group compared to two-jaw surgery group. In the difference in fixation method, the decrease in axial coronoid process distance and the change in sagittal anterior-posterior distance were statistically significant. In the difference in setback, the increase in setback didn't relate directly with the increased change in condyle position. In the relation with temporomandibular disorder, changes in left axial condylar angle and axial coronoid process distance were statistically significant. Changes in condylar position could be observed after the orthognathic surgery but it doesn't seem to have much of a clinical importance. The orthognathic surgery is effective in decreasing the mandibular angle, and it is not related with the temporomandibular disorder.

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 상악과 하악의 완전 무치악 환자에서 보철물로 상실된 치열궁 폭경 재건을 위한 기준을 제시하기 위하여 과두간 폭경에 대한 상악 제1대구치간 폭경의 상관관계를 평가하기 위함이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 콘빔형 전산화단층영상(Cone-beam CT)을 촬영한 환자 중, 본 연구의 기준에 부합하는 한국인 120명(남성 60명, 여성 60명)을 선택하였으며 Invivo 5.1을 이용해 Cone-beam CT scan을 분석하였다. 축의 방향설정 후, 상악 제1대구치의 근심 협측 교두정간 거리를 측정하였으며, 과두간 폭경은 각 과두의 중심점을 지정하여 측정하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS Version 20.0으로 분석하였고, Pearson의 상관분석을 이용하여 과두간 폭경과 상악 제1대구치간 폭경의 상관관계의 통계적 유의성을 검증하였다. 결과: 한국인의 평균 과두간 폭경은 105.9 mm였으며, 남성이 108.3 mm 여성이 103.4 mm였다. 평균 상악 제1대구치간 폭경은 57.1 mm였으며, 남성이 57.9 mm 여성이 56.2 mm였다. 과두간 폭경과 상악 제1대구치간 폭경에 대한 Pearson의 상관분석 결과, 0.614의 Pearson 상관계수로 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 결론: 과두간 폭경과 상악 제1대구치간 폭경은 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, 한국인의 과두간 폭경과 상악 제1대구치간폭경의 평균 비율은 1:0.54를 보였다. 본 제한된 연구의 결과를 근거로 상악과 하악의 완전 무치악 환자에서 과두간 폭경을 본래의 상악 치열궁 폭경 설정을 위한 가이드로서 사용이 가능할 것이다.
