Fishman 7,8) 은수완부의각골에서의성숙도를일정한순서에의해관찰하는 SMI(Skeletal Maturation Indicators) 방법을제시하였다. 치아의성숙도를평가하는방법에는치아맹출도에따른방법과치아석회화과정에따라평가하는방법이있으며치아석회화과정은환경적영향을덜받기때문에치아성숙도를평가하는데널리이용하고있다 9-11). 골성숙단계와치아석회화도사이의연구로 Sierra 5) 는치아석회화과정과골성숙도사이의상관성이높음을보고하였고 Demisch와 Wartman 10), Engström 등 11) 은하악제3대구치의석회화과정과골성숙도사이에상관성이있다고하였으며, 반면 Lewis와 Garn 12) 은하악제3대구치의석회화과정과골성숙 235

Ⅳ. 총괄및고찰성장과발육, 특히악안면복합체에대한성장과발육에대해이해하는것은악안면부조화에대한조기인식, 그리고치료시기의결정및치료계획수립에매우중요하다. 골성숙도는성장기아동의신체발달척도로가장많이이용되는데이는골성숙도가연령이나신장, 혹은체중등에비하여성장과정의요소들과더욱밀접한관계를보여주기때문이다. 골성숙도에대한평가는수완부가가장많이이용되고있으며 20) 그이유는수완부골에서는출생과더불어화골현상이계속진행되고수완부를구성하는골들은각기화골현상의개시기와정도및양상이다르므로성숙도평가에유용하기때문이다 21). Fishman의 SMI 방법은모지척측종자골의출현을중심으로하여일정한순서에의해관찰하므로, 임상적으로간편하게사용할수있다. 치아성숙도는과거교정학분야에서연령과더불어가장먼저이용된척도로 1771년 Hunter 22) 가최초로치아발육에대한연구를시작하였으며, Spier 23) 가신장의성장과치아의맹출을관련지어연구한이래다양한신체성숙지표들과치아성숙도와의상호관계에대해연구가이루어져왔다. 대부분이치아맹출도를이용한방법으로환경의영향을많이받지만 24) 치아석회화과정은연속되는일련의성숙과정으로환경의영향이미 미하여치아성숙도표현에더욱적합한척도로사용된다 25-27). 치아석회화과정의평가시제3대구치의경우는단계를세분화시키면판독의어려움이있으며 28) 치아형성평가를위한통계적분석을향상시키기위해저자는 Gat 등 19) 에의한6단계방법으로평가하였다. 본연구에서의 Ⅰ급부정교합과 Ⅲ급부정교합군각각에대한남녀의골성숙평균연령은전반적으로두군모두에서여자가남자보다더빠른골성숙진행단계를보였으며 Ⅰ급부정교합의 SMI-9,10,11단계와 Ⅲ급부정교합의 SMI-10단계는유의한차이가인정되지않았다. 이는여자가남자보다골성숙연령이빠르다는 Björk와 Helm 29), Fishman 8) 의보고나박과서 30), 오와양 15), 이와이 16), 정과양 17) 의연구결과와일치한다. 그러나유의한차가인정되지않은경우나단계가증가함에도불구하고연령의감소가있는경우가있었는데이는조사대상의수가너무작았다든지또는누년적인연구가되지못하고횡적인연구가시행된데에원인이있다고생각된다. 하악제3대구치의석회화단계는 Ⅲ급부정교합군의 1단계를제외하고모두남녀간차이를보이지않았으며 Sarnat 등 31) 에의한이스라엘어린이의제3대구치발육단계나 Gravely 32) 의제3대구치발육에대한방사선학적조사에서성과관련이없다는결과와일치한다. 성별에관계없이 Ⅰ급부정교합과 Ⅲ급부정교합군간수완부골성숙단계의평균연령이나하악제3대구치의평균연령은전반적으로차이가없는것으로나타났으며이는김과정 18) 에의한연구에서는Ⅰ급부정교합과 Ⅲ급부정교합군의골성숙도에유의한차이가없다고하여, 본연구의결과와일치한다. 골성숙단계와치아석회화도사이의연구로 Sierra 5) 는치아석회화과정과골성숙도사이의상관성이높음을보고하였고한국인아동을대상으로한양 33) 의연구역시같은결과를보여주고있으나 Tanner 등 34), Acheson과 Dupertuis 35) 의연구에서는상관성이낮은것으로보고하였다. 하악제3대구치와관련하여 Demisch와 Wartman 10), Engström 등 11) 은하악제3 대구치의석회화과정과골성숙도사이에상관성이있다고하였으며, 반면 Lewis와 Garn 13) 은하악제3대구치의석회화과정과골성숙도사이상관성이낮다고보고하였다. 본연구에서 239
J Korean Acad Pediatr Dent 35(2) 2008 는수완부골성숙도와하악제3대구치석회화도의상관계수가 Ⅰ급부정교합과 Ⅲ급부정교합군모두높게나와상관성이높다고보고한 Demisch와 Wartman 10), Engström 등 11) 의결과와일치한다. 부가적으로하악제3대구치석회화단계와나이와의상관성조사결과연령과도유의성있는결과를보여주고있다. 이상의본연구를종합해볼때, Ⅰ급부정교합과 Ⅲ급부정교합군사이의수완부골성숙도와하악제3대구치석회화도는별다른차이를보이지않았으며수완부골성숙도는여성의평균연령이남성보다높은반면하악제3대구치석회화도는성별차이를보이지않았다. 또한하악제3대구치발달과골격성숙, 나이사이에서강한상관성이발견되었다. Moorees 등 36) 은치아의발육도를평가할때조사되는대상을, 속해있는인구집단의표준화된집단에서선정해야하며한장의방사선사진으로판단을하는것보다조사되는치아의누년적인방사선사진을가지고서판단하는것이정확하다고하였다. 그러나본연구에서는다수를연구대상에포함시키기위해횡적인방법으로연구가이루어졌으며좀더세밀한연구를위해서는종적인연구가필요하리라사료된다. Ⅴ. 결론본연구는전남대학교병원소아치과에내원한환자들로 8세부터 15세사이의 Angle Ⅰ급부정교합을지닌남자 149명, 여자 155명그리고 Angle Ⅲ급부정교합을지닌남자 153명, 여자 155명, 총 612명을대상으로하였으며골성숙단계평가를위해수완부사진을이용한 Fishman의방법을사용하고하악제3대구치의발육단계를평가하기위해 Orthopantomogram을이용하여 Gat 등에의한 6단계방법으로판독하였다. 연구의정확성을기하기위하여치아발육에영향을미칠전신질환이나치아의상실이있는경우, 치과보철물수복물이있는치아, 교정치료의경험이있는경우, 방사선사진이희미하여판독이어려운경우등은대상에서제외하였으며다음과같은결과를얻었다. 1. 골성숙단계는 Ⅰ급부정교합과 Ⅲ급부정교합군모두전반적으로여자가남자보다빠르나 (p<0.05) 하악제3대구치의석회화단계는성별차이가없었다. 2. 남녀별골성숙단계와하악제3대구치의석회화단계는 Ⅰ급과 Ⅲ급부정교합군간에서유의한차이가없었다. 3. Ⅰ급부정교합과 Ⅲ급부정교합군의수완부골성숙단계와하악제3대구치석회화단계사이의상관관계는두군모두높은상관성을보였다 (p<0.01). 4. Ⅰ급부정교합과 Ⅲ급부정교합군의하악제3대구치석회화단계와연령사이의상관관계는두군모두높은상관성을보였다 (p<0.01). 이상의결과로수완부골성숙도와하악제3대구치발육은 1 급부정교합과 Ⅲ급부정교합군간에차이가없었다. 참고문헌 1.

J Korean Acad Pediatr Dent 35(2) 2008 Abstract SKELETAL MATURITY AND MANDIBULAR THIRD MOLAR DEVELOPMENT IN CLASS Ⅲ MALOCCLUSION Keun-Young Kang, Kyu-Ho Yang Nam-Ki Choi, Seon-Mi Kim Department of Pediatric Dentistry, School of Dentistry, Chonnam National University and Dental Research Institute, The second stage of BK21 The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of the skeletal maturity of hand-wrist and the development of mandibular third molar in subjects with class Ⅰ and class Ⅲ malocclusion. The subjects used in this study were 304 children(149 boys, 155 girls) with class Ⅰ malocclusions and 308 children(153 boys, 155 girls) with class Ⅲ malocclusions, ranged from 8 to 15 years of age. Hand-wrist radiographs and panoramic radiographs were used to evaluate the stage of skeletal maturity and teeth development. Fishman s method for the skeletal maturity stages of the hand-wrist and new six-developmental-stage method for the calcification stages of mandibular third molars were analyzed. The results were as follows : 1. In subjects with class Ⅰ and class Ⅲ malocclusion, skeletal maturity of the hand-wrist occured earlier in females than in males(p<0.05), while the calcification stages of mandibular third molars were no significant gender differences. 2. There were no significant differences between the groups, when comparing the skeletal maturity stages of the hand-wrist and the calcification stages of mandibular third molars between subjects with the class Ⅰ and the class Ⅲ malocclusion. 3. The correlation coefficients between the calcification stages of mandibular third molars and the skeletal maturity stages of the hand-wrist in subjects with class Ⅰ and class Ⅲ malocclusion showed a high interrelationship(p<0.01). 4. The correlation coefficients between the calcification stages of mandibular third molars and chronological age in subjects with class Ⅰ and class Ⅲ malocclusion showed a high interrelationship (p<0.01). As a result, there were no significant differences between class Ⅰ and class Ⅲ malocclusion group for skeletal maturity of the hand-wrist and third molar development. Key words : Class Ⅲ malocclusion, Skeletal maturity of hand-wrist, Development of mandibular third molar 242
