본 연구는 교정 임상에서 흔히 촬영되는 측모와 정모 두부방사선규격사진을 사용하여 3차원적인 두개안면 형태를 재현하였을 때 그 방법의 정확성을 고찰해 보고, 기존의 측모 두부방사선규격사진과 비교하여 어떠한 차이를 보이는지 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 두개안면 골격모형의 3차원 두부방사선규격사진을 형성하고, 선계측과 각도 계측을 시행하였다. 여기서 얻어진 계측치들을 실제 계측치 및 측모 두부방사선규격사진에서의 계측치와 비교하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 3차원 두부방사선규격사진의 선 계측 평균 오차는 0.94±0.63mm, 평균 확대율 100.31±0.91% 이었으며 실제 계측치와 차이를 보이지 않았다(α=0.1). 2. 측모 두부방사선규격사진은 선 계측에서 평균 오차 6.44±1.48mm, 평균 확대율 106.99±1.45%로서 하악체를 제외한 모든 선 계측에서 확대를 보였다(P<0.005). 3. 3차원 두부방사선규격사진에서의 각도 계측은 평균 오차 1.22±0.82°, 평균 확대율 1.5.72±12.07%로서 실제 계측치와 차이를 보이지 않았다(α=0.1). 4. 측모 두부방사선규격사진은 평균 오차 1.70±0.94°, 평균 확대율 106.35±15.70%으로 실제 계측치와 차이를 보이지 않았다(α=0.1).
Conventional cephalometrics have inherent errors because their evaluation is performed in two-dimension for threedimensional object. To compensate these errors, three-dimensional cephalograms - derivation of three-dimensional data from conventional lateral and postero-anterior cephalograms - were developed. In this study, the accuracy and precision of three dimensional cephalograms were determined by means of 10 linear and 12 angular measurements on 36 acrylic skull models and by the comparison of conventional lateral cephalograms. The results were as follows 1. Mean difference between three-dimensional cephalograms and actual models in linear measurements was 0.94±0.62 mm and mean rate of magnification of three-dimensional cephalograms was 100.31±0.91%. There were no statistically significant differences between three-dimensional cephalograms and actual models in linear measurements(α=0.1).. 2. Mean difference between conventional lateral cephalograms and actual models in linear measurements was 6.44±1.48 mm and mean rate of magnification of lateral cephalograms was 106.99±1.45%. There were statistically significant differences between lateral cephalograms and actual models in linear measurements(P<0.005). 3. Mean difference between three-dimensional cephalograms and actual models in angular measurements was 1.22±0.82° and mean rate of magnification of three-dimensional cephalograms was 105.71±12.07%. There were no statistically significant differences between three-dimensional cephalograms and actual models in angular measurements(α=0.1). 4. Mean difference between conventional lateral cephalograms and actual models in angular measurements was 1.70±0.94° and mean rate of magnification of lateral cephalograms was 106.35±15.70%. There were no statistically significant differences between lateral cephalograms and actual models in angular measurements(α=0.1). There were similarity between three-dimensional and lateral cephalograms in angular measurements.
