To predict duration of orthodontic treatment of malocclusion, 304 male and female patients whose orthodontic treatment was finished in department of orthodontics, Infirmary of dental college, Chosun University were studied. The duration of treatment was studied according to types of malocclusion, beginning ages of treatment, Hellman's dental ages, the determination of tooth extraction, types of tooth extraction and types of orthodontic appliance. The following results were obtained. 1. The duration of treatment was 18 months in Class I malocclusion, 20 months in Class II malocclusion and 24 months in Class III malocclusion. 2. The more early treatment was done, the more duration of treatment was needed according to beginning age of treatment and Hellman's dental ages. 3. Treatment of tooth extraction case was needed for 78 days more than that of non-extraction case. 4. The duration of treatment with unilateral extraction of premolars was the shortest (598 days) and that with single arch extraction of premolars was the longest (685 days) according to types of tooth extraction. 5. The duration of treatment by removable appliance was the shortest (237 days) and the combination of removable appliance, headgear and full banded appliance was the longest (1425 days) according to types of orthodontic appliance. 6. The duration of treatment was 18 months in typical orthodontic treatment with 4 extraction of premolar and full banded appliance.

This present paper describes 3 clinical cases which were treated with Bioprogressive mechanism. Each patient has shown a deficient maxilla combined with prognathic and steep mandible. The purpose of treatment was planned to obtain the forward growth of maxilla and redirectioning of mandibular growth. The most noteworthy approach in the treatment was the application of Cl III intermaxillary elastics with upper protraction utility arch immediately after rapid maxillary expansion. In the analysis of the data obtained from pre- and post treatment lateral cephalogram, the result achieved by this method is very favolable to the correction of anteroposterior relationship of maxilla and mandible.

This is case report of true class III malocclusion with macroglossia is corrected by glossectomy in 13 years female patient. After orthodontic treatment, the patient is bound to glossectomy because the corrected condition is relapsed to the previous condition due to relatively enlarged tongue compared with the original dental arch. By the interpretation of the cephalogram and model analysis, it is approved that the growth pattern and direction are normal range and mandible is located anterioly to the cranium. The results are follows: 1. We could treat the true Cl III malocclusion. 2. We could prevent the relapse of the treated condition by the surgical intervention, such as partial glossectomy. 3. Sensory, speech, swallowing and so other functions after the operation have been with in normal limit without any serious complications or seguellae.

After orthognathic surgery in skeletal class III patients, the hyoid bone position and the upper airway dimension could be changed due to mandibular setback. There has been many studies about airway dimension of the patients with skeletal class II malocclusion or obstructive sleep apnea. but not with skeletal class III. The purpose of this study was to examine the change of position of the hyoid bone and the consequent change of airway space as the result of retrusion of mandible after orthognathic surgery in skeletal Cl III malocclusion patients. It is also to apply this results in predicting, diagnosing and treating the subsequent obstructive sleep apnea. Forty patients who were diagnosed as skeletal Cl III maloccusion, received orthoganthic surgery of both jaws including mandibular setback, and were followed up post-operatively for more than 6 months were selected. There were 10 male patients 30 female patients. The preoperative and postoperative lateral cephalograms were traced and the distances and angles were measured. The nasopharyngeal space increased postoperatively while the oropharyngeal space decreased. Except for the change of oroparyngeal space, the changes in male patients were greater than female patients. The hyoid bone moved in the posterior-inferior direction, and the change was greater in males than in females. If the postoperative mandibular setback is great, then a significant decrease of airway space and posterior and inferior movement of the hyoid bone were observed. This can result in symptoms related to obstructive sleep apnea. This result should be considered in the diagnosis and treatment planning of orthognathic surgery patients.

Face mask is an extraoral appliance which used to protract maxilla, and can help in the correction of moderately severe class IlI malocclusions by the anterior displacement of the maxilla and maxillary dentition, and possibly restricting or changing the direction of the growth of the mandible. In three cases the results were followed. 1. Anterior crossbite was corrected 2. Maxilla & maxillary dentition were displaced forwardly. 3. Lingual tipping of the mandibular incisors, and backward & downward rotation of mandible were performed. 4. Acceptable improvement in the class III profile was performed.

Objective: This study aimed to estimate the clinical effects of different types of bone-anchored maxillary protraction devices by using a network meta-analysis. Methods: We searched seven databases for randomized and controlled clinical trials that compared bone-anchored maxillary protraction with tooth-anchored maxillary protraction interventions or untreated groups up to May 2021. After literature selection, data extraction, and quality assessment, we calculated the mean differences, 95% confidence intervals, and surface under the cumulative ranking scores of eleven indicators. Statistical analysis was performed using R statistical software with the GeMTC package based on the Bayesian framework. Results: Six interventions and 667 patients were involved in 18 studies. In comparison with the tooth-anchored groups, the bone-anchored groups showed significantly more increases in Sella-Nasion-Subspinale (°), Subspinale-Nasion-Supramentale(°) and significantly fewer increases in mandibular plane angle and the labial proclination angle of upper incisors. In comparison with the control group, Sella-Nasion-Supramentale(°) decreased without any statistical significance in all treated groups. IMPA (angle of lower incisors and mandibular plane) decreased in groups with facemasks and increased in other groups. Conclusions: Bone-anchored maxillary protraction can promote greater maxillary forward movement and correct the Class III intermaxillary relationship better, in addition to showing less clockwise rotation of mandible and labial proclination of upper incisors. However, strengthening anchorage could not inhibit mandibular growth better and the lingual inclination of lower incisors caused by the treatment is related to the use of a facemask.

Exposed root surfaces can cause esthetic problems, hypersensitivity, and root caries. Numerous efforts have been tried to cover the recessed root surfaces, and various techniques have been developed and introduced. Among these, subepithelial connective tissue graft which shows high coverage rate in various researches, has the advantage of good color match, less discomfort to the donor site, rich vascularity, and high predictability. Following results were obtained after investigating 6 and 18 months post operatively, 98 cases of subepithelial connective tissue graft from 48 patients who underwent subepithelial connective tissue graft procedure in the department of periodontology, college of dentistry, Yonsei university. 1. The total average root coverage of Miller class I, II & III were 76.2?24% at 6 months follow-up and 75?25.2% at 18 months follow-up with no statistically significant difference between the follow-up periods.(p<0.05) 2. The percentage of teeth showing complete coverage were 41.9% at 6 months follow-up and 39.2% at 18 months follow-up. 3. At 6 months follow-up, Miller classification I showed 84.9?20.7%, class II showed 82.5?17.7%, and class III showed 62.3?24.5% of coverage. In class III recession, statistically significantly less root coverage was observed compared to class I & II. (p(0.05) 4. At 18 months follow-up, Miller classification I showed 92.2?13.5%, class II showed 84.3?17.4%, and class III showed 59.5?24.5% of coverage. In class III recession, statistically significantly less root coverage was observed compared to class I & II. (p<0.05) In conclusion, subepithelial connective tissue graft for class I and II recession can be used as a clinically predictable treatment modality for root coverage.

골격성 제III급 부정교합은 성장과 연관되어 나타나는 부정교합의 형태로서 성장이 진행됨에 따라 그 심각성이 더해가는 데에 문제점이 있다. 성장기 골격성 제III급 부정교합의 원인은 크게 세가지로 분류할 수 있는데 하악의 과성장으로 인한 경우, 상악의 열성장으로 인한 경우, 그리고 이 두가지가 복합되어 나타나는 경우가 그것이다. 상악의 열성장을 동반한 골격성 제III급 부정교합 환자에서 성장의 조기에 상악골 전방견인 장치가 많이 사용되고 있는데 이 장치의 효과 및 측모변화에 대한 연구는 많이 시행되어 왔다. 그러나, 국내외 많은 선학들의 다양한 연구에도 불구하고 치료 후 측모 변화 및 치료 효과의 안정성에 대한 연구는 미미한 실정 이다. 이에 본 저자는 상악골 열성장으로 인한 성장기 골격성 제III급 부정교합으로 진단받고 상악골 전방견인 장치로 치료받은 환자 중 재진단(follow-up)이 가능한 50명(남:18명, 여:32명)의 환자를 선별하여 성별, 치료개시 나이별, 구강내 장치 종류별로 분류한 뒤, 치료후 나타나는 측모 변화 및 치료의 안정성에 대하여 알아보고, 한국인 정상교합아동 20명(남:10명, 여:10명)과 상악골 전방견인 장치로 치료받은 환자사이에서 성장량에 어떠한 차이가 존재하는지 비교하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 상악골 전방견인 장치 사용전과 사용후를 비교한 결과 악안면 골조직과 연조직 및 치아의 계측항목에서 많은 변화량을 관찰할 수 있었다. 2. 상악골 전방견인 장치와 상악골 급속 확장장치(R.P.E.)를 함께 사용한 군에서는 악안면 골조직의 변화량이 크게 나타났으며 순설측 유지장치 (La-Li)를 함께 사용한 군에서는 치아의 변화량이 크게 나타났다. 3. 상악골 전방견인 장치 착용기간동안 치료군에서 나타나는 변화량과 정상군의 성장량을 비교하여 보면 상악골 전방성장량이 치료군에서 더 크게 나타났다. 4. 상악골 전방견인 장치 제거후 치료군에서 나타나는 성장 변화량과 정상군의 성장량을 비교하여 보면 상악골 전방성장량에 있어서 치료군의 성장량이 정상군의 성장량보다 적게 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 상악골 전방견인장치를 사용하는 중에는 상악골의 전방성장을 촉진시키는 효과가 있으나 전방견인이 끝난 후에는 상악골 성장의 자극효과가 소멸되어 상악골 열성장의 양상으로 되돌아가는 경향을 관찰하였다.
