If the centric prematurity occurs after orthodontic treatment, it creates centric slide regarded as a possible factor in the cause of temporomandibular disorder and/or postorthodontic relapse. The purpose of this study was to investigate the manner of centric prematurity and centric slide in postorthodantic patients. The 36 orthodontic patients who had been treated with edgewise appliance at least 3 mouths previously were used in this study. After recording centric relation by the leaf gauge technique, the centric prematurity and centric slide were studied using SAM2 articulator and mandibular position indicator. The results were as follows : 1. The highest percentage of centric prematurities were found on the second molars. 2. The buccal incline of the palatal cusp was the most frequent area of centric prematurities in the maxilla, while the lingual incline of the buccal cusp was the most frequent area in the mandible. 3. There were no trends in the direction of centric slide on the mandibular position indicator. 4. There were no significant differences in centric discrepancies between the premolar extraction and nonextraction group.

The purpose of the present study were to disclose whether the depth of the mandibular antegonial notch can be used as an indicator of mandibular growth potential. The patients composed of 76 samples and were classified following 3 groups, based on the depth of mandibular antegonial notch : Deep notch group (more than 3mm), Neutral notch group (1-3mm), Shallow notch group (less than 1mm). For each case, the first lateral cephalograms were taken prior to the start of treatment and the second films 3-4 years after. The results were as follows; 1. Deep notch group had a shorter corpus, less ramus height and greater genial angle than did Shallow notch group. 2. Deep notch group had a more retrusive mandibular position than Shallow notch group. 3. Deep notch group had longer total anterior facial height and longer anterior lower facial height group. 4. Deep notch group grow vertical clockwise growth pattern, while Shallow notch group grow horizontal counterclockwise growth pattern. 5. Deep notch group had less mandibular growth than Shallow notch group during observation period.

Objective: Facial-type-associated variations in diagnostic features have several implications in orthodontics. For example, in hyperdivergent craniofacial types, growth imbalances are compensated by displacement of the condyle. When diagnosis and treatment planning involves centric relation (CR), detailed knowledge of the condylar position is desirable. The present study aimed to measure condylar displacement (CD) between CR and maximum intercuspation in three facial types of an asymptomatic orthodontic population. Methods: The study was conducted in 108 patients classified into three groups of 36 individuals each (27 women and 9 men; mean age, 20.5 years), based on the following facial patterns: hyperdivergent, hypodivergent, and intermediate. To quantify CD along the horizontal and vertical axes, the condylar position was analyzed using mounted casts on a semi-adjustable articulator and a mandibular position indicator. The Student t-test was used to compare CD between the groups. Results: Vertical displacement was found to be significantly different between the hyperdivergent and hypodivergent groups (p < 0.0002) and between the hyperdivergent and intermediate groups (p < 0.0006). The differences in horizontal displacement were not significant between the groups. In each group, vertical CD was more evident than horizontal displacement was. Conclusions: All facial types, especially the hyperdivergent type, carried a significantly high risk of CD. Therefore, the possibility of CD should be carefully evaluated and considered in the assessment of all orthodontic cases in order to accurately assess jaw relationships and avoid possible misdiagnosis.

In the past the jaw and occlusal relationship in centric occlusion were merely considered in case of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. As the fact that functional disturbance of the temporomandibular joint may be caused by occlusal interference was recognized, the importance of functional occlusion and centric relation is emphasized today. Known the importance of centric relation, there are various opinions about definition of centric relation and its taking methods. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relative centric condyle position and to compare the reproducibility of the recordings utilizing different centric relation records obtained by different taking methods. The 15 adults with normal occlusion were participated in this study. Every four centric relation records were taken in each of three methods - leaf gauge, Dawson and myomonitor method. Then the relative centric condyle position, the distance between the condylar position in centric occlusion and the position in centric relation and the reproducibility were studied using SAM 2 articulator and mandibular position indicator. The results were as follows ; 1. The trend of condyle position was different depending on centric relation taking methods. 2. The position of condyle in centric relation by leaf gauge and Dawson methods was superior to that by myomonitor method, and the position by myomonitor method was relatively antero-inferior. 3. The distance between the condylar positions in centric occlusion and the position in centric relation was longest in myomonitor method. 4. The reproducibility had little differences in transverse direction among three methods, while leaf gauge method showed the highest reproducibility and myomonitor method did the lowest reproducibility in antero-posterior and supero-inferior direction.

본 연구는 III급 부정교합자에서 중심교합상태의 두부 방사선 사진과 MPI 수치를 이용하여 중심위로 전환한 두부 방사선 사진(Centrically related cephalometrics)을 계측하여 중심위 변위시 유의한 계측치 변화가 있는지 확인하고자 시행되었다. 교정치료의 경험이 없는 25명의 III급 부정교합군과 25명의 정상교합군을 대상으로 하여, 중심교합위 상태의 측모 두부 방사선 사진과 중심위 및 중심교합위 기록을 채득하고, 모형을 SAM II 교합기에 부착하였다. 중심위 변위 량은 MPI(Mandibular Position Indicator)를 이용하여 계측하였으며, MPI 수치와 중심교합위 상태의 측모 두부 방사선 사진의 투사도를 이용하여 Conversion work sheet상에서 중심위 전환을 시행하였다. 두부 방사선 계측 항목은 하악골의 위치와 관계되는 것을 선택하였다. 정상교합군과 III급 부정교합군에서 중심위와 중심교합위간의 계측치 변화를 연구하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 하악 과두에서의 중심위 변위량은 정상교합군에서 전후방 변위량$({\Delta}X)0.56{\pm}0.50mm$, 수직적 변위량$({\Delta}Z)-0.61{\pm}0.53mm$였으며, III급 부정교합군에서 전후방 변위량$({\Delta}X)0.93{\pm}0.77mm$, 수직적 변위량$({\Delta}Z)-0.64{\pm}0.89mm$로, 두군 모두 후하방 변위양상을 나타냈다. III급 부정교합군에서 정상교합군보다 전후방 변위량이 더 크게 나타났으나 통계학적인 유의성은 없었다. 2. 중심교합위와 중심위 두부 방사선 사진의 계측치를 비교해 본 결과 정상교합군에서 ANB, Facial angle, Facial convexity, ODI 둥의 항목이 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. III급 부정교합군에서는 ANB, Facial angle, Facial convexity, ODI, SNB, APDI, L1-FP 등 유의한 차이를 보이는 항목이 더 많았고 유의성도 더 높게 나타났다. 3. 두부 방사선 사진의 계측치 변화는 중심위 변위와는 연관성이 있었으나, 정상교합군과 III급 부정교합군에 대한 연관성이 없었다. 이상의 결과는 중심위 변위량이 임상적으로 재현할 수 있는 중심위 위치에서 정상적으로 변위되는 양보다 큰 경우 중심위는 교정 환자에서 적절한 진단과 치료 계획 수립을 위한 기준 점으로 고려되어야 함을 시사하였다.

There are evidences that occlusal splint therapy is critical to diagnose hidden akeleto-occlusal disharmonies in malocclusion patients and capable of enhancing stability after orthodontic treatment. In addition, evidences have implicated occlusal splint therapy in condylar positional changes during TMJ disorder treatment. In view of these evidences, this study was performed to investigate the effect of occlusal splint therapy on condylar positional changes in malocclusion patients and the possible clinical application of the occlusal splint as an additional orthodontic tool. For this study, 8 Angle's Class I malocclusion patients, who had centric occlusion-centric relation discrepancy within 1.0 mm and had no clinical symptoms of TMJ disorder, were selected as control group. And 22 malocclusion patients who had centric occlusion-centric relation discrepancy over 1.0 mm were selected and subdivided as Class I Malocclusion group, Class II div. 1 malocclusion group, Class II div. 2 malocclusion group, Open bite group, and Mandibular asymmetry group. For each subject the occlusal splint with mutually protected type of occlusal scheme was applied for 3 months. Condylar positions in centric relation and centric occlusion were measured using Panadent articulators and Panadent condylar position indicator (CPI) before and after occlusal splint therapy. On the basis of this study, the following conclusions might be drawn: 1, In control group, Class II div. 2 malocclusion group, and mandibular assymetry group, there were no significant differences in condylar positions before and after occlusal splint therapy. 2. In Class I malocclusion group, condyles were moved $0.27{\pm}0.45mm$ forward (p < 0.05) and $0.98{\pm}0.25mm$ upward (p < 0.01) after occlusal splint therapy. 3. In Class I malocclusion group, condyles were moved $0.24{\pm}0.21mm$ backward (p < 0.05) and $1.01{\pm}0.33mm$ upward (p < 0.01) after occlusal splint therapy. 4. In open bite group, condyles were moved $1.24{\pm}0.30mm$ upward (p < 0.01) after occlusal splint therapy. 5. In both control and experimental groups, there were no significant differences in lateral condylar positions before and after occlusal splint therapy.

Objective: To investigate the cephalometric predictors of the future need for orthognathic surgery in Korean patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) despite long-term use of facemask with miniplate (FMMP). Methods: The sample consisted of 53 UCLP patients treated by a single orthodontist using an identical protocol. Lateral cephalograms were taken before commencement of FMMP therapy (T0; mean age, 10.45 years), after FMMP therapy (T1; mean age, 14.72 years), and at follow-up (T2; mean age, 18.68 years). Twenty-eight cephalometric variables were measured. At T2 stage, the subjects were divided into FMMP-Nonsurgery (n = 33, 62.3%) and FMMP-Surgery (n = 20, 37.7%) groups according to cephalometric criteria (point A-nasion-point B [ANB] < -3°; Wits-appraisal < -5 mm; and Harvold unit difference [HUD] > 34 mm for FMMP-Surgery group). Statistical analyses including discrimination analysis were performed. Results: In FMMP-Surgery group, the forward position of the mandible at T0 stage was maintained throughout the whole stages and Class III relationship worsened with significant growth of the mandibular body and ramus and counterclockwise rotation of the maxilla and mandible at the T1 and T2 stages. Six cephalometric variables at T0 stage including ANB, anteroposterior dysplasia indicator, Wits-appraisal, mandibular body length, HUD, and overjet were selected as effective predictors of the future need for surgical intervention to correct sagittal skeletal discrepancies. Conclusions: Despite long-term use of FMMP therapy, 37.7% of UCLP patients became candidates for orthognathic surgery. Therefore, differential diagnosis is necessary to predict the future need for orthognathic surgery at early age.

본 연구는 II급 부정교합자에서 액티베이터 사용 후, 하악골의 변화에 따른 atlas의 위치 및 형태 변화를 조사하고, 그에 따른 치료 효과를 예측해 보고자 시행하였다. 실험군으로 II급 부정교합자로써 액티베이터 치료를 시행한 경우 1군(총30명, 남자 15, 여자 15명), 대조군들로 II급 부정교합자로 액티베이터 치료를 받지 않고, 교정치료를 받은 2군(총 22명, 남자 12, 여자 10)과 I급 부정교합자로 치료를 받은 환자 3군(총 22명, 남자 12, 여자 10)으로 총 세 개의 군으로 나누었다. 치료 전(T1), 액티베이터 사용 중지 및 치료 중간시기(T2), 치료 종료(T3)시의 측모두부방사선사진을 통해서 골격 형태 계측 및 atlas 형태 계측을 시행하였다. II급 액티베이터 사용 결과 액티베이터를 사용하지 않은 II급 부정교합자 군에 비해 치료 종료 시 다음과 같은 계측치 들에서 골격적인 효과가 나타났다: ramal height, body length와 effective body length는 증가하였고, ANB는 감소하였다. Overjet은 두 군 사이에서 액티베이터 사용 후 유의한 감소가 일어났으나, 치료 종료 시에는 유의한 변화가 없었다. 세 군 모두에서 FH에 대한 atlas의 시계방향 회전이 나타났으나, 실험군 1군에서 대조군 2, 3군에 비해 유의하게 atlas가 FH에 대해 시계방향 회전되는 결과가 나타났다. 1군이 3군에 비해서 atlas의 유의한 후방이동을 보인 것을 제외하고는 세 군 사이의 atlas의 전, 후방적 위치나, 형태의 크기 변화에 있어 유의한 차이점은 없었다. 위의 결과들을 고려해 볼 때 atlas의 장축의 시계방향 회전은 액티베이터의 사용 효과로 생각되며, 이는 차후 II급 부정교합자에서 액티베이터 치료 효과를 판단하는 또 하나의 지표가 될 수 있다고 생각한다.인해 한반도를 포함한 동아시아 대륙이 태평양판 쪽으로 밀려감으로써 섭입하던 태평양판의 각도가 급해져 동아시아 연변에 강력한 흡입력이 발생하였으며, 이 때문에 태평양판의 운동 방향이 북북서에서 서북서방향으로 회전되었을 가능성이 있다. 따라서 약 51 Ma부터 한반도 동남부에는 지판 경계의 강력한 흡입력으로 동서 내지 서북서-동남동의 인장력이 작동되어 B그룹 암맥군이 관입한 것으로 해석된다.Ledge는 세 군 모두에서 나타나지 않았다. 4. 파일 binding 횟수는 MC군이 가장 적고 PT군이 가장 많았다 (p < 0.05). 이상의 결과를 볼 때, Mtwo 전동 파일을 crown-down technique으로 사용하는 것이 single length technique과 유사한 성형 효율을 보이면서도 더 안전할 것으로 추정된다.고 1명(3%)에서 원격전이를 보였다. 치료 중 급성 합병증으로 11명(37%)에서 RTOG grade 1-2의 장염을 보였으며 1명은 대장의 천공이 발생하여 수술로 치유되었다. 12명(40%)에서 RTOG grade 1-2의 급성 방광염을 보였다. 3명(10%)에서 RTOG grade 1-2의 백혈구 감소증이 보였으며 1명에서 심한 백혈구 감소증(RTOG grade 4)이 나타났으나 회복되어 치료를 완료하였다. 만성 합병증으로 5명(15%)에서 RTOG grade 1-2의 만성 장염을 보였으며 별다른 치료 없이 지내고 있으며 1명(3%)에서 RTOG grade 2의 만성 방광염을 보였다. 그러나 치료에 의해 사망한 환자는 없었다. 결 론: 자궁경부암 환자에 항암화학요법과 동시에 외부 방사선조사와 고선량률의 강내조사를 시행한 결과 독성이 심하지 않고 국소제어율과 단기 생존율이 양호하여 안전하고 효율적인 치료방법으로 생각된다. 그러나 장기 생존율과 만성 합병증을 파악하기 위해서는 더 많은 환자를 대상으로
