Purpose: To investigate the effects of anterior guidance (AG) change on the working (WCP) and non-working condylar paths (NWCP), and lower incisor path (LIP) using a splint with flat (FAG) or steep AG (SAG). Materials and Methods: The samples consisted of six young adult women (mean age=$23.5{\pm}3.3$ years). Inclusion criteria were skeletal Class I and normodivergent pattern, normal overbite/overjet, minimal slide from retruded cuspal position to intercuspal position, no temporomandibular disorder signs and symptoms, mutually protected occlusion, and minimal tooth wear. After the values of natural AG (NAG) were obtained as a reference for each patient, two types of splints ($15^{\circ}$ flatter and steeper than NAG) were made. After insertion of the splints with FAG or SAG, the WCP, NWCP, and LIP were recorded five times for each patient using an ultrasonic AQR (SAM, Munich, Germany) and statistical analysis was subsequently performed. Result: NAG exhibited postero-superior movement in the WCP and did not show a noticeable immediate side shift (ISS) or difference between the eccentric (EP) and returning paths (RP) in the NWCP. FAG was associated with an irregular and excessive WCP, an increase in ISS, and a difference between EP and RP in the NWCP. SAG showed minimal WCP movement and a decrease in the extent of difference between EP and RP in the NWCP. LIP showed significant differences in EP and in RP (P<0.001, all; FAG

This study was performed to evaluate the change of the soft tissue facial profile after mandibular set back surgery during time intervals. For this study, 33 patient, 8 males and 25 females, were selected and their lateral cephalograms were taken and analyzed periodically. Hard and soft tissue changes during postoperative time intervals, correlation between surgical skeletal changes and postoperative soft tissue changes, and prediction for long-term soft tissue changes were established through varying statistical methods. The results were as follow : 1. There were meaningful changes of anteroposterior skeletal position at 6 months and 2 years after mandibular set back by mandibular ramus osteotomy. Two years postoperatively, there was 30%, 32%, 29% relapse on B point, pogonion, menton each. 2. Two years after the mandibular ramus osteotomy, the relative changes of the soft tissue to their osseous counterparts showed 76% on the lower lip and 91% on the pogonion. 3. The movements of the mandibular landmarks in correlation to anteroposterior position of the lower lip and soft tissue of the chin showed to be effective on a long-term basis. 4. Using surgical changes of pogonion, prediction of changes in soft and hard tissue pogonion was useful and the coefficient of determination was 0.46 each and their reliability decreased 2 years postoperatively. 5. The upper lip position after the mandibular set back surgery was somewhat anterior 2 years postoperatively, but that has no statistical meanings.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the esthetic preference for various Korean silhouette profiles. Methods: The Korean average male and female profiles were modified by changing the lower facial height and anteroposterior lip position to produce nine types of profiles. In order to test intrarater reliability, the average profile was copied once more to be included for evaluation. A questionnaire containing 10 profiles for each sex, each of which had to be rated for preference on a numerical rating scale from 0 to 10, was administered to 30 adult orthodontic patients, 30 dental students, 30 orthodontists, and 30 dentists excluding orthodontists. The data were statistically analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA. Results: The ICC of overall intrarater reliability was 0.629. For several profiles, significantly higher scores were given to male profiles than to female profiles (p < 0.05). However, no significant differences were found in the scores for all profiles among the four rater groups. Among the short profiles, a significantly higher score was given to the retruded profile, and among the vertically average and long profiles, a significantly higher score was given to the horizontally average profile (p < 0.001). Among all the profiles, significantly lower scores were given to the protruded profile (p < 0.001). Conclusions: This study revealed good overall intrarater reliability, with several types of male profiles being esthetically preferred over female profiles. Moreover, while retruded and horizontally average profiles were generally preferred, protruded profiles were not.

Background and Objectives : The common cause of voice disorders may be bad habits of phonation. faulty vocal habits might aggravate the voice disorder or make the dysphonia. Authors thought the analysis of faulty vocal habits might help to evaluate the causes and to choose the treatment methods in patients with dysphonia. Authors studied to evaluate which vocal habits were used in patients with dysphonia. Materials and Methods : Patients with dysphonia(N= 32) and person without dysphonia(N=20) were evaluated through pre-evaluation test by otolaryngologist and SLP. All subjects were evaluated accordingly Posture of body, expansion of cervical vein, excessive movements of thyroide prominence, position of tongue, tension of lower lip, tension of jaw, breathing pattern related with phonation. Results : In dysphonia group, we found 23 cases with tension of jaw, 15 cases with expansion of cervical vein, 7 cases with bad position of tongue, 3 cases with excessive movement of thyroid prominence and a lot of cases with bad breathing Pattern on Phonation. In control group, only 3 cases with bad position of tongue, 2 cases with tension of lower lip, 1 case with tension of jaw were found. Conclusions : More faulty vocal habits were found in dysphonia group. Authors thought faulty vocal habits could be the cause of dysphonia and aggravate the dysphonia and the control of vocal habits would be very important in patients with dysphonia.

Severe maxilla1y deficiency can be caused by cleft lip and palate(CLP), other craniofacial deformities, atrophy in the edentulous maxilla, and trauma. Patients with maxillary deficiency present a difficult treatment challenge. Traditionally, this skeletal deformity has been treated by Le Fort osteotomy, skeletal repositioning, and fixation with mini-plates and screws. The drawbacks of this method include a limited amount of anterior maxillary advancement often requiring simultaneous mandibular setback, the inability to create new bone, and minimal soft tissue adaptation to the new position, all of which increase the potential of relapse in case of large advancement. The alternative method of maxillary distraction osteogenesis offers promising results for successfully treatment of these patients while potentially minimizing the risk of relapse.

Maxillary anterior segmental distraction osteogenesis (DO) has been the alternative treatment option for patients with midfacial retrusion. The patient showed unilateral cleft lip and palate, and premaxillary distraction with rigid external device (RED) was planned to solve midface deficiency and to create alveolar space. Significant advancement of A point was observed, but relapse of A point was detected during consolidation period. The vertical position of the ANS was found to have moved downward. Axis of upper incisor decreased after DO. Maxillary anterior segmental DO is effective for treatment of patient with cleft lip and palate. The alveolar space is regained successfully, and the facial profile is improved without velopharyngeal problems.

Purpose: The purpose of study was to investigate the correlationship between lip canting change and occlusal canting change after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery, and the ratio of lip canting change and occlusal canting change after the surgery. Patients and methods: The subjects for this study was obtained from a group of 25 patients who took bimaxillary orthognathic surgery for occlusal canting correction at the Department of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Samsung Medical Center in Seoul, Korea between January 2000 and December 2005 and a patient's chart had to contain a resting frontal facial photograph in natural head position and a corresponding PA cephalogram in occlusion on the same day before the surgery and post-op 6 months later. The lip canting change was assessed with the angle each labial commissure and the bipupilary reference line. And, the occlusal caning change in the frontal plane was assessed with the angle between the each maxillary first molar occulasal surface and the bi-frontozygomatic suture reference line. Results: In angular measurement, average occlusal canting change was $3.09^{\circ}$ and standard deviation was $1.05^{\circ}$, average lip canting change was $1.56^{\circ}$ and standard deviation was $1.05^{\circ}$. In linear measurement, average occlusal canting change was 2.41mm and standard deviation was 2.75mm, average lip canting change was 1.18mm and standard deviation was 0.43mm. Lip canting correction ration to occlusal canting correction was 51.5(${\pm}8.4$)% in angular measurement and 48.8(${\pm}9.1$)% in linear measurement. Under Pearson's correlation analysis, Pearson's correlation coefficient was 0.869 in angular measurement and 0.887 in linear measurement(p-value < 0.01). High correlationship was shown between occlusal canting change and lip canting change. Conclusion: First, Bimaxillary orthognathic surgery can correct lip canting as well as occlusal canting. Second, The average amount of lip canting correction is $51.5{\pm}8.4%,\;48.8{\pm}9.1%$ of occlusal canting correction in the study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to estimate muscle defect by ultrasonography in the patients with secondary deformities of the lip. We investigated the association between the muscle defect in the repaired cleft lip and the philtral appearance not only at resting state but also maximal puckering. Methods: From December 2006 to November 2007, 52 children were evaluated after primary or secondary cheiloplasty. Digital photographs were taken both from the front and both three quarter views in repose and at maximal pucker. Video clips were also taken in repose and at maximal pucker. A panel of four, scored the philtral ridge and dimple seen on these photographs and videos by using two visual analog scales. Eminence of the philtral ridge was scored by a 5 point grading scale, from "conspicuous groove" to "normal philtral ridge" and the philtral dimple was scored by 3 point grading scale, from "no dimple" to "prominent dimple". Ultrasound images of the upper lip were made using a linear array transducer at the resting position of the lip and evaluated by a single radiologist. Results: The philtral ridge eminence scored $2.79{\pm}0.54$ and $1.40{\pm}0.53$ at resting and maximal pucker, correlating with "flat" and "conspicous groove". The philtral dimpling scored $1.44{\pm}0.53$ and $2.27{\pm}0.66$ at resting and maximal pucker, correlating with "no dimple" and "slight dimple". Ultrasound imaging showed the average muscle dehiscence to be $3.78{\pm}2.14$ mm at resting position. Correlation between the muscle defect in ultrasound imaging and philtral ridge eminence at rest was statistically significant (p<0.050), but was not significant (p=0.756) at maximal pucker using Spearman's rank correlation. Correlation between the muscle defect in ultrasound imaging and philtral dimpling was not statistically significant both at rest (p=0.920) and at maximal pucker (p=0.815) using Spearman's rank correlation. Conclusion: Quantitative assessment of the muscle defect using ultrasonography correlates with the static philtral appearance, but does not correlate with the dynamic appearance. Also, the size of the muscle defect does not show any correlation with the philtral dimpling. Our findings reveal that ultrasound imaging partially reflect static appearance of philtrum but cannot reflect dynamic appearance and suggest the need for further research to evaluate dynamic appearance.

본 연구는 Quick Ceph Image $Pro^{TM}$(ver 3.0)와 국내에서 개발되어 사용 중인 $V-Ceph^{TM}$(ver 3.5) 2 종의 비디오 이미지 예측 프로그램의 수술 후 연조직 측모의 정확성과 신뢰성에 대해서 알아보고자 시행되었다. 골격성 III급 부정교합으로 진단되어 수술 전 교정 치료를 받고. 하악골 후퇴 수술(body osteotomy 또는 SSRO)을 시행한 남녀 환자 각각 20명을 대상으로 하였다. 나이는 평균 $21.4\pm4$세이고, 수술 전 측모두부방사선계측사진은 수술 전 평균 21.1일에 수술 후 측모두부방사선계측사진은 수술 후 평균 335.7일에 촬영되었으며, 예측치와 실측치 차이를 비교하였다. 연구결과 Quick Ceph과 V-Ceph 모두 예측치와 실측치 사이에 크기와 방향에 있어서 오차가 관찰되었으며, 이러한 오차는 상순과 하순. 턱과 연관된 항목에서 크게 나타났다 (p<0.05). Quick Ceph은 A'. Ls, Li의 수평적 위치 및 각 부분에서의 연조직 두께(U1-Ls, L1-Li, Pog-Pog')의 수평거리 예측에서, V-Ceph은 하순의 수직적 위치 예측에서 오차가 컸다 (p<0.05) V-Ceph의 경우 하악골의 이동양이 증가할때 Sn의 수직적 위치, Ls의 수평적 위치 상순의 연조직 두께 (U1 -Ls)처럼 상순과 연관된 계측치에서 예측오차가 컸으며, Quick Ceph의 경우 하악골의 이동양이 증가할 때 하순의 수평위치 및 하순의 두께에서의 예측오차가 작았다 (P<0,05) 또한, 연조직의 두께에 따른 오차를 평가한 결과, Quick Ceph의 경우 상순과 하순의 두께가 두꺼울수록 각각에 관련된 연조직 예측의 오차가 컸으며 (P<0.05). V-Ceph의 경우 하순과 턱의 연조직 두께가 두꺼울수록 턱의 연조직 예측의 오차가 크게 관찰되었다 (p<0.05). 그러나 본 연구에서의 모든 예측오차 값은 3mm 이내로 계측되었으며, 이러한 오차 범주는 임상적으로 허용 가능한 수준인 것으로 생각된다.

AAM(Active Appearance Model)은 PCA(Principal Component Analysis)를 기반으로 객체의 형태(shape)와 질감(texture) 정보에 대한 통계적 모델을 통해 얼굴의 특징점을 검출하는 알고리즘으로 얼굴인식, 얼굴 모델링, 표정인식과 같은 응용에 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만, AAM알고리즘은 초기 값에 민감하고 입력영상이 학습 데이터 영상과의 차이가 클 경우에는 검출 에러가 증가되는 문제가 있다. 특히, 입을 다문 입력얼굴 영상의 경우에는 비교적 높은 검출 정확도를 나타내지만, 사용자의 표정에 따라 입을 벌리거나 입의 모양이 변형된 얼굴 입력 영상의 경우에는 입술에 대한 검출 오류가 매우 증가되는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 입술 특징점 검출을 통해 정확한 입술 영역을 검출한 후에 이 정보를 이용하여 AAM을 수행함으로써 얼굴 특징점 검출 정확성을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 AAM으로 검출한 얼굴 특징점 정보를 기반으로 초기 입술 탐색 영역을 설정하고, 탐색 영역 내에서 Canny 경계 검출 및 히스토그램 프로젝션 방법을 이용하여 입술의 양 끝점을 추출한 후, 입술의 양 끝점을 기반으로 재설정된 탐색영역 내에서 입술의 칼라 정보와 에지 정보를 함께 결합함으로써 입술 검출의 정확도 및 처리속도를 향상시켰다. 실험결과, AAM 알고리즘을 단독으로 사용할 때보다, 제안한 방법을 사용하였을 경우 입술 특징점 검출 RMS(Root Mean Square) 에러가 4.21픽셀만큼 감소하였다.
