Clinical limitations following closed reduction of an intracapsular condylar fracture include a decrease in maximum mouth opening, reduced range of mandibular movements such as protrusion/lateral excursion, and reduced occlusal stability. Anteromedial and inferior displacement of the medial condyle fragment by traction of the lateral pterygoid muscle can induce bone overgrowth due to distraction osteogenesis between the medial and lateral condylar fragments, causing structural changes in the condyle. In addition, when conventional maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) is performed, persistent interdental contact sustains masticatory muscle hyperactivity, leading to a decreased vertical dimension and premature contact of the posterior teeth. To resolve the functional problems of conventional closed reduction, we designed a novel method for closed reduction through protrusive MMF for two weeks. Two patients diagnosed with intracapsular condylar fracture had favorable occlusion after protrusive MMF without premature contact of the posterior teeth. This particular method has two main advantages. First, in the protrusive position, the lateral condylar fragment is moved in the anterior-inferior direction closer to the medial fragment, minimizing bone formation between the two fragments and preventing structural changes. Second, in the protrusive position, posterior disclusion occurs, preventing masticatory muscle hyperactivity and the subsequent gradual decrease in ramus height.

In this study, 88 dental students were examined to evaluate the relationship between occlusal states and TM disorders for the epidemiologic study of TM disorders. The clinical evaluation were composed of mandibular movement, TMJ noise, occlusal states and muscle palpation. The following results were disclosed. 1. The frequencies of pain on mandibular movement were 3.4% on maximum opening, 1.13% on protrusion and no pain on laterotrusion. 2. The frequencies on TMJ sound were 21.6% in click, 1.13% in crepitus. 3. The frequency of tenderness on palpation was 12.5% on extra oral, intraoral and neck muscles, tenderness on palpation of TMJ capsule were reported 5 cases, and 4 of them were female. 4. The distribution of Angle's classification was found 79.5% in class I, 4.5% in clasII-div.1 and 15.9% in class III. There was no significant differences on TM disorders between Angles classifications. 5. There was no significant differences on TM disorders between the subjects of canine guided occlusion and group function occlusion, and also for the differences between the subjects of nonworking side interferences and no interferences on laterotrusion. 6. There was no significant differences on TM disorders between the subjects of anterior teeth trauma in C.C. and no anterior teeth trauma, but there were significant differences between the subjects of posterior protrusive contact and no posterior protrusive contact.

The purpose of this study was to estimate primary diagnosis, prediction of prognosis and recognition fo treatment progress for treatment of TMD patients through measuring the various ranges of mandibular movement in normal and TMDs patients using Mandibular Kinesiograph K-6 Diagnostic system. In normal groups, 20 adults were selected, who have normal or class I molar relationship, and have no symptoms on TMJ and masticatory muscles, and have restorations less than 3 surfaces on each tooth, and have no other prosthetic restoration. In Patients group, we selected 31 outpatients who were confirmed to TMDs with clinical examination and radiographic findings. The obtained results were as follows : 1. In maximal opening, patient group was showed the limitation of vertical movement range (P<0.01) and lager lateral deviation than in normal group (P<0.05). And actual dimensional displacement of opening was calculated larger in normal group (P<0.05). 2. In protrusive movement, patients group was showed the limitation of anteroposterior movement range (P<0.001) and larger deviation than in normal group (P<0.01). And actual 3 dimensional displacement of protrusion was calculated larger in normal group (P<0.001). 3. In lateral maximum excursion, compared with normal group patient group was no significant differences to affected side, but was showed the limitation of lateral movement to unaffected side (P<0.001). 4. There was no significant difference in movement velocity of opening and closing in both groups. 5. Mandibular movement from physiologic rest position to centric occlusion was moved more anteroposteriorly in patient group. 6. Mandibular movement from centric relation to centric occlusion was no significant difference in both groups.

In this report, we describe a case involving a 34-year-old woman who showed good treatment outcomes with long-term stability after multidisciplinary treatment for unilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP), maxillary hypoplasia, severe maxillary arch constriction, severe occlusal collapse, and gingival recession. A comprehensive treatment approach was developed with maximum consideration of strong scar constriction and gingival recession; it included minimum maxillary arch expansion, maxillary advancement by distraction osteogenesis using an internal distraction device, and mandibular setback using sagittal split ramus osteotomy. Her post-treatment records demonstrated a balanced facial profile and occlusion with improved facial symmetry. The patient's profile was dramatically improved, with reduced upper lip retrusion and lower lip protrusion as a result of the maxillary advancement and mandibular setback, respectively. Although gingival recession showed a slight increase, tooth mobility was within the normal physiological range. No tooth hyperesthesia was observed after treatment. There was negligible osseous relapse, and the occlusion remained stable after 5 years of post-treatment retention. Our findings suggest that such multidisciplinary approaches for the treatment of CLP with gingival recession and occlusal collapse help in improving occlusion and facial esthetics without the need for prostheses such as dental implants or bridges; in addition, the results show long-term post-treatment stability.

Objective: To evaluate the short-term changes in masticatory muscle activity and mandibular movement patterns after orthognathic surgery in skeletal Class III patients with facial asymmetry. Methods: Twenty-seven skeletal Class III adult patients were divided into two groups based on the degree of facial asymmetry: the experimental group (n = 17 [11 male and 6 female]; menton deviation ${\geq}4mm$) and control group (n = 10 [4 male and 6 female]; menton deviation < 1.6 mm). Cephalography, electromyography (EMG) for the anterior temporalis (TA) and masseter muscles (MM), and mandibular movement (range of motion [ROM] and average chewing pattern [ACP]) were evaluated before (T0) and 7 to 8 months (T1) after the surgery. Results: There were no significant postoperative changes in the EMG potentials of the TA and MM in both groups, except in the anterior cotton roll biting test, in which the masticatory muscle activity had changed into an MM-dominant pattern postoperatively in both groups. In the experimental group, the amount of maximum opening, protrusion, and lateral excursion to the non-deviated side were significantly decreased. The turning point tended to be shorter and significantly moved medially during chewing in the non-deviated side in the experimental group. Conclusions: In skeletal Class III patients with facial asymmetry, the EMG activity characteristics recovered to presurgical levels within 7 to 8 months after the surgery. Correction of the asymmetry caused limitation in jaw movement in terms of both ROM and ACP on the non-deviated side.

Objective : The objective of this review was to provide reliable comparative results regarding the effectiveness of any interventions either open or closed that can be used in the management of fractured mandibular condyle Patients and Methods : Research of studies from MEDLINE and Cochrane since 1990 was done. Controlled vocabulary terms were used. MeSH Terms were "Mandibular condyle" AND "Fractures, bone". Only comparative study were considered in this review using the "limit" function. According to the criteria, two review authors independently assessed the abstracts of studies resulting from the searches. The studies were divided according to some criteria, and following were measured: Ramus height, condyle sagittal displacement, condyle Towns's image displacement, Maximum open length, Protrusion & Lateral excursion, TMJ pain, Malocclusion, and TMJ disorder. Results : Many studies were analyzed to review the post-operative result of the two methods of treatment. Ramus height decreased more in when treated by closed reduction as opposed to open reduction. Sagittal condyle displacement was shown to be greater in closed reduction. Condyle Town's image condyle displacement had greater values in closed reduction. Maximum open length showed lower values in closed reduction. In protrusive and lateral movement, closed reduction was less than ORIF. Closed reduction showed greater occurrence of malocclusion than ORIF. However, post-operative pain and discomfort was greater in ORIF. Conclusion : In almost all categories, ORIF showed better results than CRIF. However, the use of the open reduction method should be considered due to the potential surgical morbidity and increased hospitalization time and cost. To these days, Endoscopic surgical techniques for ORIF (EORIF) are now in their infancy with the specific aims of eliminating concern for damage to the facial nerve and of reducing or eliminating facial scars. Before performing any types of treatment, patients must be understood of both of the treatment methods, and the best treatment method should be taken on permission.

얼굴 표면에 대한 곡률의 특성은 사람의 특징을 나타내는 중요 요소 중의 하나이며, 깊이 간에 따른 얼굴의 형상 또한 사람마다 다른 모양을 가지고 있으므로 중요한 특징의 하나로 간주 될 수 있다. 본 논문은 3차원 얼굴 영상으로부터 추출된 표면 곡률을 얼굴의 등고선 값에 따라 추출된 영역에 대하여 퍼지적분을 이용한 얼굴 인식 알고리즘을 제안한다. 먼저 객체와 배경을 분리하여 얼굴을 추출한 후 얼굴에서 가장 두드러진 형태인 코끝을 찾고, 회전에 대한 정규화를 실시한다. 얼굴의 등고선 영역은 코끝을 기준으로 깊이 값에 따라 영역이 추출되며 사람마다 서로 다른 형상 특징을 가지게 된다. 등고선에 따라 획득된 3차원 얼굴 영상으로부터 얼굴의 표면 특성 정보인 주 곡률, 평균 곡률 그리고 가우시안 곡률 값을 추출한다. 각각의 등고선 영역에 대해 차원의 감소를 위하여 고유 얼굴 추출과 특징 공간상에서 클래스간의 분리를 최대화시키기 위해 선형판별분석 알고리즘을 이용하여 유사도를 비교하였다. 그리고 클래스간의 분별 정보를 등고선 영역들에 대해 퍼지적분 방법을 사용하여 인식률을 향상 시켰다. 제안된 방법으로 수행한 결과, 코끝으로부터 깊이 값 40 (DT 40)인 등고선 영역이 가장 높은 인식률을 나타내었으며, 퍼지적분을 사용한 방법이 다른 알고리즘보다 놀은 인식률을 나타내었으며, 곡률은 주 곡률의 최대 곡률이 98%의 높은 인식률을 나타내었다.
