Abstract

Condylar resorption, or condylysis can be defined as progressive alteration of condylar shape and decrease in mass. Condylar resorption is a poorly understood progressive disease that affects the TMJ and that can result in malocclusion, facial disfigurement, TMJ dysfunction, and pain. The aim of this study was to investigate clinical assessment and cephalometric characteristics in 224 patients with condylar resorption, who visited in the Department of Oral Medicine Kyungpook National University Hospital at 2006, by use of panorama, transcranial view and lateral cephalometric radiograph. The results were as follows; 1. Clinical assessment 1) Total number of patients who visited with chief complaints of TMD were 2419 and 224 (9.3%) among them revealed the condylar resorption, Among patients group with condylar resorption, female was 183 and male was 41, females were predominant. 2) Patient's age ranged from 12 to 70 and mean age was 30.6 years old with a strong predominance for 10s and 20s. Distribution of a showed as follows; 10s was 26.3%, 20s was 34,8%, 30s was 13.8%, 40s was 11.2%, 50s was 7.1%, 60s was 6.3% and 70s was 0.4%. 3) Most of the patients had parafunctional habit. 4) The case of showing the pain in condylar resorption was 145, the case of not showing the pain was 79. 5) Treatment duration of the patients was relatively short. 2. Cephalometric Characteristics 1) ANB which means the retruding of the mandible increased significantly than normal group. The ANB of female was lager than male group as the means of ANB were 5.05 in female and 3.57 in male, 2) SN-GoMe and FMA increased in resorption patients, but FH-PP did not show any significant difference. The FMA of female was lager than male group as the means were 31.69 in female and 30.44 in male. 3) Total posterior facial height was significantly smaller and total anterior facial height showed no significant increase as compared with those of the normal group. Condylar resorption was predominant in young female which was caused by more vertical facial pattern in female than male and increase of parafunctional habit in young age. It was thought that the patients who have a risk factor increasing the compressive stress at condyle caused by obliquely inclined masseter and medial pterygoid show high prevalence of condylar resorption.

2006년 한 해 동안 경북대학교 구강내과에 측두하악장애를 주소로 내원한 전체 환자 중에 파노라마 방사선 사진 상에서 인정될만한 하악과두흡수가 관찰된 환자를 대상으로 측모두부방사선 사진을 촬영하였으며, 측두하악장애의 임상적 평가와 악안면 골격형태를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 임상적 평가 1) 측두하악장애를 주소로 내원한 총 환자 수는 2419명 이었고 그중 224명 약 9.3%가 과두흡수를 나타내었다. 과두흡수가 있는 환자군 중 여자는 183명(81.7%)이고 남자는 41명(18.3%)으로 여자에서 월등히 많이 유발되었다. 환자의 연령은 12세에서 70세에 걸쳐 분포되었으며 평균 연령은 30.6세였다. 연령분포는 10대가 26.3%(59명), 20대가 34.8%(78명), 30대가 13.8%(31명), 40대가 11.2%(25명), 50대가 7.1%(16명), 60대가 6.3%(14명), 그리고 70대가 0.4%(1명)로 나타났다. 2) 과두흡수 부위의 통증을 호소한 경우는 145명, 통증을 호소하지 않은 경우가 79명이었다. 3) 과두흡수 환자 중 이갈이 습관을 53명, 이깨물기 습관은 80명이 호소하였으며, 다른 기타 습관들을 보고한 경우가 204명이었다. 4) 과두흡수 부위의 통증을 호소한 환자의 치료기간은 1개월 미만이 81명으로 전체적으로 치료기간이 짧게 나타났다. 2. 악안면 골격 형태 평가 전체 과두흡수 환자 224명중 18세 이상의 186명(여자 155명, 남자 31명)만이 한국 성인 정상교합자의 측모두부방사선사진 계측연구 결과와 비교하였다. 1) SNA, SNB는 남녀 모두에서 유의한 작은 값을 나타냈고, ANB항목에서는 남자는 평균 3.57 여자는 5.05으로 여자 환자에서 큰 값을 보여 남자에 비해 하악이 더 후퇴되어 있음을 알 수 있다. 2) 남녀 모두 SN-GoMe, FMA의 각도가 과두흡수 환자에서 유의하게 상당히 커져 있음을 보였다. FMA는 남자는 평균 30.44, 여자는 31.69로 여자에서 수직적 성장이 더 크게 나타났다. 3) 총후안면고경(posterior facial height)이 과두흡수 군에서 모두 작은 것이 특징으로 보였으며, 총전안면고경(Anterior facial height)은 과두흡수 환자군에서 남녀 모두 정상군에 비해 차이가 없었다. 저자의 연구에서 얻어진 결과에 의해 하악과두흡수는 정형외과적으로 퇴행성관절염과는 달리 젊은 여성에서 유병률이 높았으며 이는 남성보다 여성에서 수직적 골격 성장 양상으로 인해 하악과두 전방부의 압축응력을 증가시키는 위험요인을 가진 환자에서 발현이 높은 것으로 생각되며 그리고 노년층보다는 젊은 사람에서 이상기능활동으로 인한 부하의 증가 때문이라 생각한다. 하악과두흡수를 보이는 환자들의 치료기간이 대체적으로 짧으며, 나이가 증가함에 따라 내원하는 환자수가 증가하지 않는다는 것은 이 질환이 자기한정적임을 알 수 있고, 생리적 내성 범위 이상의 부하가 가해져 발생한 하악과두의 재형성 과정으로 생각한다.
