PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to determine the average facial proportions and mandibular movement capacity of 316 first-year dental students who carefully recorded them on each other. MATERIALS AND METHODS. This early exacting clinical experience was closely supervised by the authors in Columbus, Ohio during 1969-70. Five vertical and six horizontal distances were measured on each subject's face. An ala-tragus line and an occlusal line were drawn on the left side of the face to determine if these two lines were parallel. Measurements of mandibular movements involved maximum normal and hinge opening at the incisors and maximum amounts of right, left lateral and protrusive excursions of the mandible. RESULTS. The ala width and distance between the tips of upper right and left canine cusps averaged (35.2 mm and 34.8 mm) but with very large individual variations. The distance between ala to occlusal plane lines was 29.9 mm at the tragus and 31.3 mm near the ala. The angle between orbitale and ala-tragus averaged 13.6 degrees. CONCLUSION. The upper lip length was the most variable and the distance between the pupils was the most stable of the eleven facial measurements. The ala-tragus line and the occlusal plane lines were for all practical purposes parallel. Maximum jaw opening averaged 51.2 mm which was 3.0 times larger than maximal hinge opening of 17.2 mm. The maximum right plus left side jaw excursions (9.2 and 9.4 mm) totaled 18.6 mm, 2.3 times more than the 8.0 mm mean maximum forward protrusion.

Background: Age-related changes have been studied for lower and middle facial bones. Although the forehead comprises one-third of the facial area, no studies have investigated age-related changes in the upper part of the face or forehead. The purpose of this study was to use three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) to investigate age-related changes in the frontal bone. Methods: A retrospective review was performed for patients who underwent 3D CT scan of facial bones. Patients were divided by gender and age (20 to 40 years, 41 to 60 years, and above 60 years). The frontal bone curvature was evaluated by the length of frontal bone and by two frontal bone angles in relation to the Frankfurt horizon. Results: In both genders, aging was associated with increasing lower slope length. In elderly men (>60 years), the upper slope angle was significantly higher when compared to younger male subjects. Women demonstrated similar age-related changes, but the differences were only statistically significant for the middle and older age groups. Conclusion: This study demonstrates quantifiable age-related changes in the frontal bone. These findings contribute to the understanding of age-related changes of the facial soft tissues. The mean measurements in each age group can be used as a reference when planning forehead reconstruction.

In this paper, multi-objective models for designing 3D trajectory of horizontal wells are developed in a fuzzy environment. Here, the objectives of minimizing the length of the trajectory and the error of entry target point are fuzzy in nature. Some parameters, such as initial value, end value, lower bound and upper bound of the curvature radius, tool-face angle and the arc length of each curve section, are also assumed to be vague and imprecise. The impreciseness in the above objectives have been expressed by fuzzy linear membership functions and that in the above parameters by triangular fuzzy numbers. Models have been solved by the fuzzy non-linear programming method based on Zimmermann [1] and Lee and Li [2]. Models are applied to practical design of the horizontal wells. Numerical results illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the fuzzy models.

A study was made to investigate a relationship existing in the dentoskeletal framework and the soft tissue profile around the face, and compare the sexual differences between boys and girls having the normal occlusion in the mixed dentition. The lateral cephalograms were composed of 67 boys aged 10.3 years and 68 girls aged 10.4 years, respectively. By means of the lateral cephalograms, both the hard-and soft tissue structures were simultaneously analyzed, measured and evaluated by introducing the several reference items: S-N plane, palatal plane, mandibular plane, N-A line and A-P line for the dentoskeletal structures and N’-P’line for the soft tissue, and the 21 measuring points for the both structures. The significant findings were as follows: 1. In general the boys showed the larger nasal component dimension than did the girls, but the length and height of nose(N’-Prn and NA-Prn) showed the significant sexual difference among those when evaluated statistically. 2. The lip-thickness was found to be minimal in the region of nasion, greater in the region of pogonion, and much greater in the region of point A in the both sexes, but the only thickness over point A(A-A’) showed the significant sexual difference statistically. 3. The upper and lower lip position were found to be located anteriorly to the esthetic line in the both sexes, but upper lip position showed the significant sexual difference when evaluated statistically. 4. The regions of nose and upper lip had a tendency not to be following the underlying skeletal profile.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether any difference existed in craniofacial morphology between parents of children with cleft lip and/or palate and parents of children without cleft lip and/or palate as well as the characteristics of craniofacial morphology in parents of children with cleft lip and/or palate. Thirty three measurements of the various regions of cranium and face were obtained from lateral cephalometric radiograms in parents of 28 children with cleft lip and palate, 18 children with cleft lip, and 22 children with cleft palate. There were 28 couples and 40 single parents in this sample. There were 92 individuals including 41 males and 51 females. The measurements were compared with those in control subjects, including 40 adult males and 40 adult females, who had no history of craniofacial abnormalities. The total sample was compared for the sex independently. The obtained results were as follows. 1. In the cranium, both parents of cleft children had significantly shorter posterior cranial base length(S-Ba). 2. In the upper face, a significantly shorter anteroposterior length of maxilla(A'-Ptm'), particularly in the anterior region (A'-K), anterior facial depth(A-SBaL), posterior facia! height(Ptm'-SNL) and relation of subnasale to the cranial base (∠BaN'Sn) were noted in fathers of cleft children. But, all measurements were not found to be significantly different between experimental group and control group in all mothers. 3. In the lower face, both parents of cleft children showed a significantly greater Y axis angle(∠NSGn) and ramal plane angle(∠SNL-RP) in fathers of cleft children. Thus both patents showed a posteriorly rotation of mandible. The thickness of the lower lip(B-B') was significantly thicker in fathers of cleft children. 4. In the facial profile, a significantly shorter posterior facial height(S-Go) and greater angle of soft tissue facial convexity (∠BaN'Pog') were noted in the fathers of cleft children. But, all measurements were not found to be significantly different between experimental group and control group in all mothers.

하악전돌증(mandibular prognathism or mandibular prognathic patient) 환자의 경우 전후방과 수직적 악골(maxilla)의 부조화정도가 심하거나 안면측모(facial profile)에 대한 심미적 인식도가 클 때에는 교정치료만으로는 심미적으로 만족한 결과를 얻기가 어려우므로 악교정수술(orthognathc surgery)과 병행되어야만 한다. 이럴 경우 심미적인 개선은 환자의 치료결과에 대한 만족도에 중요한 요소가 되고 있지만 미에 대한 기준을 객관화하는데는 많은 문제점을 갖고 있어 그 평가도 환자자신의 주관적인 관점에 의하여 내려지게 된다. 우리나라의 경우 얼굴심미에 대한 기준이 서구인의 외형을 선호하는 경향이 있어 전통적인 둥그런 얼굴보다는 달걀형의 갸름한 얼굴모양을 선호한다. 이 연구는 하악전돌증으로 인한 악교정수술결과 술후 얼굴폭이 넓어져 수술전보다 얼굴의 모양이 둥그렇게 되었다고 호소하는 환자가 있어 시도하게 되었다. 악교정수술전후의 안모길이 및 폭경의 변화에 관한 연구를 위하여 하악전돌증을 주소로 악교정수술을 받은 총 14명 환자(남자 8명, 여자 6명)의 정모두부방사선사진 계측(skull PA analysis)과 설문조사를 통하여 수술후의 안모변화 및 환자의 만족도에 대한 분석을 시행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 14명의 환자중 3명($21.4\%$)이 얼굴이 넓어졌다고 답하였다. 2. 악교정수술(orthognathic surgery)후 하악골폭경 (mandibular width)은 A군은 변화가 없었으며, B군은 0.7mm 감소하였고, 안면폭경 (zygomatic width)은 A군에서는 0.45mm, B군에서는 0.66mm의 증가를 보였다. 3. 악교정수술후 얼굴길이의 변화는 A군에서는 상안면 고경(upper facial height)이 0.52mm증가, 하안면고경(lower facial height)이 1.19mm감소, 하악골 고경(mandibular height)이 0.7mm감소하였으며, B군에서는 상안면 고경이 0.67mm 감소, 하안면고경이 3.66mm 감소, 하악골 고경이 5mn감소하였다. 4. 수술후 안면폭경에 대한 안면고경(facial height)의 비율은 A군에서 $1.5\%$, B군에서 ,$3.6\%$ 감소하였다. 5. 수술후 안면폭경에 대한 하악골 길이(mandibular height)의 비율은 A군에선 $1.3\%$, B군에서 $4.4\%$ 감소하였다. 6. 수술후 하악골폭경에 대한 하악골 길이(mandibular height)의 비율은 A군에서 $1.3\%$, B군에서 $4.3\%$ 감소하였다. 7. 수술로 인한 얼굴폭의 변화는 무시할만한 것으로 판단되나 수술후 얼굴의 길이가 짧아져 상대적으로 얼굴의 폭이 넓어보일 수 있으므로 수술시 이에 대한 충분한 고려 및 환자에 대한 설명이 있어야 한다.

The prediction of the ground conditions ahead of a tunnel face is very important, especially for tunnel boring machine (TBM) tunneling, because encountering unexpected anomalies during tunnel excavation can cause a considerable loss of time and money. Several prediction techniques, such as BEAM, TSP, and GPR, have been suggested. However, these methods have various shortcomings, such as low accuracy and low resolution. Most studies on electrical resistivity tomography surveys have been conducted using numerical simulation programs, but laboratory experiments were just a few. Furthermore, most studies of scaled model tests on electrical resistivity tomography were conducted only on the ground surface, which is a different environment as compared to that of mechanized tunneling. This study performed a laboratory experimental test to extend and verify a prediction method proposed by Lee et al., which used electrical resistivity tomography to predict the ground conditions ahead of a tunnel face in TBM tunneling environments. The results showed that the modified dipole-dipole array is better than the other arrays in terms of predicting the location and shape of the anomalies ahead of the tunnel face. Having longer upper and lower borehole lengths led to better accuracy of the survey. However, the number and length of boreholes should be properly controlled according to the field environments in practice. Finally, a modified and verified technique to predict the ground conditions ahead of a tunnel face during TBM tunneling is proposed.

터널 굴착 대상지반의 강도 및 강성이 낮은 경우 막장안정성을 확보하기 위해 분할굴착공법 또는 적절한 보조공법을 병용한다. 본 연구에서는 기존 문헌을 중심으로 막장평가 기법에 대해 정리하고 보조벤치 병용 전단면공법 적용 시 지반의 변형 강도특성에 따른 막장보강의 필요성 유무와 보조공법으로 페이스볼트를 채택할 경우 타설 길이, 타설 밀도, 보강범위에 따라 막장 및 막장주변지반에 어떠한 영향이 발생되는지를 알아보기 위해 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 막장 안정성에 대해 문헌에 의한 이론적인 평가기법과 FEM수치해석결과를 비교 분석한 결과 상대적인 차이는 있으나 막장볼트를 통한 막장안정의 효과에는 일치하는 경향을 보였다. 검토대상 지반조건에 대해 막장볼트의 타설형태는 길이 1.0D(D:터널 폭)이상, 격자상 타설(1개/$1.5\;m^2$), 상부 반단면 $120^{\circ}$ 보강시 가장 효과적인 것으로 분석되었다.

이 연구의 목적은 세 가지 형태의 헤드기어를 이용하여 상악 제1대구치의 후방이동 시 치아 주위 조직에 나타나는 응력분포를 광탄성법을 이용하여 관찰하는 것이다. 광탄성 상악모형에 장착한 헤드기어에 high-pull, straight-pull, cervical-pull의 세 가지 방향에서, face bow의 inner bow와 outer bow를 평행하게 한 상태에서 outer bow의 길이를 세 가지로 다르게 하여 적용시킨 다음 원편광기를 이용하여 응력분포를 분석하였다. 사진기를 이용하여 응력분포를 기록하고, 등색선상의 무늬차수를 이용, 응력분포를 분석하여 이차원적인 광탄성 응력분석을 시행하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. high-pull 헤드기어의 경우, 중간 길이의 outer bow일 때 치체이동에 유리한 응력 분포가 나타났다 2. straight-pull 헤드기어의 경우, 긴 길이의 outer bow일 때 좀더 치체이동에 유리한 응력 분포가 나타났으나, outer bow의 길이에 따른 응력분포의 변화는 적었다. 3. cervical-pull 헤드기어의 경우, 긴 길이의 outer bow일 때 치체이동에 유리한 응력 분포가 나타났다. 임상에서 헤드기어를 이용하여 상악 제1대구치를 후방으로 치체이동시키기 위해서는 facebow outer bow의 높이를 조정하지 않는 경우에는 high-pull 헤드기어에서는 outer bow와 inner bow를 같은 길이로, straight-pull 및 cervical-pull 헤드기어에서는 outer bow를 더 길게 하여 사용하는 것이 추천된다.

This study was designed to analyze morphological characteristics of Korean young adults, norms and standard deviation of variables, sexual differences, correlationship between each area of face and correlationship between hard tissue and soft tissue. The primary sample consisted of 45 males and 57 females who were early and middle twenties and had acceptable profile, no history of previous orthodontic treatment, absence of remarkably large overjet and overbite, full complement of permanent teeth, Class I skeletal and dental relationships and good vertical facial proportions. Their cephalograms were analyzed morphologically with a computer morphometrics. Then the final sample - 25 males and 38 females - were selected within 1 S.D. of E-line, ANB, P/A facial height ratio, Interincisal angle, L1 to A-Pog, ODI and APDI. The results of the study were as follows: 1 In the form and proportion of facial skeleton there were no significant differences between males and females, but in the size males were larger than females. 2. The dental protrusion patterns had no significant sexual difference and no significant correlationship between protrusion of upper lip and inclination of upper incisor. But mentolabial angle had positively correlated with interincisal angle and negatively with inclination of upper and lower incisor. 3. In the relationship between nose and soft-tissue profile, males were larger than females in nasal length, height and angular measurements. 4. In analysis of soft-tissue profile, males were larger than females in the length and thickness. In the angular measurements and proportion of soft-tissue profile, there were no significant differences between males and females.
