양악 전돌은 흔히 접하는 부정교합 증례로서, 대부분 상하순의 전돌에 의한 안모 심미성의 손상을 주소로 내원한다. 이러한 증례는 제 1소구치를 발거하고 그 공간을 이용하여 전치부를 견인하여 치료하는 경우가 많으며, 성공적인 치료 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 그러나, 성인 환자의 경우에는 환자의 협조도 불량으로 인한 악외 고정원 사용의 불량, 치료기간의 장기화, 치조골이 충분하지 못한 경우등에 있어서의 치근 흡수량의 증가, 구외 장치 사용으로 인한 환자의 사회심리적 부담감등의 부작용이 있다. 이의 해결방안의 하나인 근첨하 분절 골절단술은 고정원의 절대 보존, 치료기간의 단축, 구외 고정원 사용 필요성 제거 및 이를 통한 환자의 협조도 증가 등의 장점을 가지고 있다. 이에, 제 1소구치 발거 및 이 부위를 이용한 근첨하 분절 골절단술을 병행하여 치료한 치아치조 전돌의 증례를 치료 전후의 두부 방사선 계측 사진및 연구 모형을 통해 비교분석하여 변화를 살펴보고, 이의 장단점을 고찰해 보도록 하고자 한다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in the pharyngeal airway space and hyoid bone position after mandibular setback surgery with bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) and to analyze the correlation between the amount of mandibular setback and the amount of change in pharyngeal airway space or hyoid bone position. Materials and Methods: From January 2010 to February 2013, a total of 30 patients who were diagnosed with skeletal class III malocclusion and underwent the same surgery (BSSRO) and fixation method in the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Department of Dentistry at the Ajou University School of Medicine (Suwon, Korea) were included in this study. Lateral cephalograms of the 30 patients were assessed preoperatively (T1), immediately postoperatively (T2), and 6 months postoperatively (T3) to investigate the significance of changes by time and the correlation between the amount of mandibular setback and the amount of change in the airway space and hyoid bone position. Results: Three regions of the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and hypopharynx were measured and only the oropharynx showed a statistically significant decrease (P<0.01). A significant posterior and inferior displacement of the hyoid bone was found 6 months after surgery (P<0.01). Analysis of the correlation between the amount of mandibular setback and the amount of final change in the airway space and hyoid bone position with Pearson's correlation showed no significant correlation. Conclusion: In this study, the oropharynx significantly decreased after mandibular setback surgery, and changes in the surrounding structures were identified through posteroinferior movement of the hyoid bone during long-term follow-up. Therefore, postoperative obstructive sleep apnea should be considered in patients who plan to undergo mandibular setback surgery, and necessary modifications to the treatment plan should also be considered.

모든 과개교합을 가진 환자를 병적인 상태로 판단할 수는 없지만 전치부에 교합접촉이 불안정하거나, 전반적인 교합 부조화가 동반된다면 과개교합은 하악 전치에 대한 지속적인 마모와 정출을 일으킬 수 있다. 이 증례는 72세 남성환자로 상악과 하악의 전치가 잔존해 있지만 골격성 2급 부정교합으로 인하여 안정위 상태에서 교합접촉이 불가능하고 교합지지가 완전히 상실되어 수직고경의 증가가 필요한 환자였다. 이 증례는 보철 수복을 위해 수직고경의 증가가 필요한 경우로 수평피개를 더욱 심화시켜 교합의 부조화를 유발할 수 있기에 정밀한 진단을 통한 수직고경 증가량 결정이 필요하였다. 이 증례에서는 Dahl concept를 응용한 가철성 국소의치 보철물을 이용하여 안정적인 교합을 완성하였으며 적절한 치료 결과를 보였기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

Introduction: To compare the change in frontal ramal inclination (FRI) in laterognathism after orthognathic surgery. Materials and Methods: Twenty four patients (10 men, 14 women; mean age, $22.8{\pm}5.2$ years) with minimal facial canting (${\leq}$ 2 mm) and apparent menton deviation ($5.9{\pm}2.4\;mm$) who had been operated on to correct facial asymmetry and skeletal CIII malocclusion, were selected. On a preoperative posteroanterior (PA) cephalogram, the FRI of the deviated side and non deviated side, L1 deviation amounts and menton deviation amounts were measured. The FRI differences between both sides were compared, and the correlations between the measured deviated elements and the FRI differences were analyzed. On a postoperative PA cephalogram, the shifting amount of L1, shifting amount of L7 and FRI of both sides were measured, and the correlations between the shifting elements and the change in FRI were analyzed. Results: On the preoperative PA cephalogram, the FRI of the non deviated side was significantly greater than those of the deviated side. The differences in FRI, with a menton deviation amount showed a significant correlation. On the postoperative PA cephalogram, the FRI differences between the deviated and non deviated side were decreased significantly and mandibular transverse movement toward central position was noted. The mean shifting amounts of L7 were associated with the amount of change in the deviated side of FRI. Conclusion: Transverse shifting of the mandible through orthognathic surgery decreases the FRI difference, which showed laterognathism, and improves the facial contour.

The treatment plan for orthognathic surgery must be based on accurate predictions, and this can be produced the most esthetic, functional and stable results. The purpose of this study was aimed to evaluate the amount and interrelationship of the gonial angle and the mandibular width change after the mandibular setback surgery in the mandibular prognathic patients. Twenty patients were selected who received orthognathic surgery after presurgical orthodontic treatment. The patients with skeletal and dental Class III malocclusion were operated upon with bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy and mandibular setback. The lateral and posteroanterior cephalometric radiographs were taken preoperatively, postoperative 1 day and 12 months later after the orthognathic surgery, and then the gonial angle and mandibular width were measured. The computerized statistical analysis was carried out with SPSS/PC program. The gonial angle at postoperative 1 day was decreased about $5.3^{\circ}$ than preoperative value and the gonial angle at postoperative 12 months was increased about $1.4^{\circ}$ than postoperative 1 day. So the gonial angle at postoperative 12 months was decreased about $3.9^{\circ}$ than preoperative value. The mean preoperative gonial angle was $125.35^{\circ}{\pm}7.36$, showing significantly high value than normal and mean gonial angle at postoperative 12 months was $121.45^{\circ}{\pm}6.81$, showing value near to normal. The mandibular width at postoperative 1 day was decreased about 1.1 mm than preoperative value and the mandibular width at postoperative 12 months was more decreased about 1.7 mm than postoperative 1 day. So the mandibular width at postoperative 12 months was decreased about 2.8 mm than preoperative value. These results indicate that sagittal split ramus osteotomy in mandibular prognathic patients with high gonial angle is effective to improvement of gonial angle. It is considered to be helpful for maintenance of postoperative stable gonial angle area that detailed postoperative care and follow-up.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to analyse the facial changes and factors contributing to then after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy of mandibular prognathism. Materials and Methods : Forty patients with Class III dental and skeletal malocclusion who were treated with bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy were reviewed. Frontal and lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken preoperatively, immediate postoperatively and more than six months postoperatively in each patient. After tracing the cephalometric radiographs, various parameters were measured. Results : 1. Gonial angle at postoperative two days was decreased about $10.4^{\circ}$ than preoperatively and gonial angle at postoperative six months was increased about $6.8^{\circ}$ than postoperative two days. So, gonial angle at postoperative six months was decreased about $3.6^{\circ}$ than preoperative gonial angle. 2. Facial height postoperative two days was decreased about 0.8mm than preoperatively and facial height at postoperative six months was decreased about 0.7mm than postoperative two days. So, facial height at postoperative six months was decreased about 1.5mm than preoperative facial height. 3. Mandibular width postoperative two days was decreased about 1.0mm than preoperatively and mandibular width at postoperative six months was increased about 1.8mm than postoperative two days. So, mandibular width at postoperative six months was decreased about 2.8mm than preoperative mandibular width. 4. Amount of set back and mandibular plane angle were not influencing on relapse degree. Conclusion : It is thought that bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy in mandibular prognathic patients is effective to improve long face and steep gonial angle. More prudent operation and careful postoperative management is required to maintain stable face postoperatively. Further research for soft tissue changes and factors which are related with relapse is needed.

Objective: The aim of this trial was to compare the alignment efficiency and intermaxillary arch dimension changes of nickel-titanium (NiTi) or copper-nickel-titanium (CuNiTi) round archwires with increasing diameters applied sequentially to the mandibular arch. Methods: The initial alignment phase of fixed orthodontic treatment with NiTi or CuNiTi round archwires was studied in a randomly allocated sample of 66 patients. The NiTi group comprised 26 women, 10 men, and the CuNiTi ($27^{\circ}C$) group comprised 20 women, 10 men. The eligibility criteria were as follows: anterior mandibular crowding of minimum 6 mm according to Little's Irregularity Index (LII), treatment requiring no extraction of premolars, 12 to 18 years of age, permanent dentition, skeletal and dental Class I malocclusion. The main outcome measure was the alignment of the mandibular anterior dentition; the secondary outcome measure was the change in mandibular dental arch dimensions during 12 weeks. Simple randomization (allocation ratio 1:1) was used in this single-blind study. LII and mandibular arch dimensions were measured on three-dimensional digital dental models at 2-week intervals. Results: No statistically significant difference was observed between NiTi and CuNiTi according to LII (p > 0.05). Intercanine and intermolar arch perimeters increased in the CuNiTi group (p < 0.001). Inter-first premolar width showed a statistically significant interaction in week ${\times}$ diameter ${\times}$ application (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The effects of NiTi and CuNiTi round archwires were similar in terms of their alignment efficiency. However, the intercanine and intermolar arch perimeters, and the inter-first premolar width changes differed between groups.

Osteochondroma is a common benign tumor of bones, but it is rare in the mandibular condyle. With its outgrowth it manifests clinically as deviation of the mandible limitation of mouth opening, and facial asymmetry. After the tumor is diagnosed on the basis of clinical symptoms and radiographic examination including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis, an appropriate surgery and treatment plan should be formulated. Herein, we present the case of a 44-year-old female patient who visited our dental hospital because her chin point had been deviating to the left side slowly but progressively over the last 3 years and she had difficulty masticating. Based on CBCT, she was diagnosed with skeletal Class III malocclusion accompanied by osteochondroma of the right mandibular condyle. Maxillary occlusal cant with the right side down was observed, but it was confirmed to be an extrusion of the molars associated with dental compensation. Therefore, after intrusion of the right molars with the use of temporary anchorage devices, sagittal split ramus osteotomy was used to remove the tumor and perform orthognathic surgery simultaneously. During 6 months after the surgery, continuous bone resorption and remodeling were observed in the condyle of the affected side, which led to a change in occlusion. During the postoperative orthodontic treatment, intrusive force and buccal torque were applied to the molars on the affected side, and a proper buccal overjet was created. After 18 months, CBCT revealed that the rate of bone absorption was continuously reduced, bone corticalization appeared, and good occlusion and a satisfying facial profile were achieved.
