McNamara 분석법에 의한 두부방사선 계측 기준치

ROENTGENOGRAPHIC CEPHALOMETRIC STANDARD FOR KOREAN ACCORDING TO THE MCNAMARA S ANALYSIS

The purpose of this study was to assess the growth changes of craniofacial complex and to establish Korean norms by McNamara´s cephalometric analysis. Lateral cephalograms were obtained from males and females with normal occlusion & acceptable profiles in 9-21 years of age. The lateral cephalograms of males & females in 9-13 years of age were serial cephalometric radiograms which were taken at 2 year interval. 11 landmarks, 10 planes and 3 angles were plotted and measured linearly and angularly. The results were as follows: 1. The author made the tables of means, standard deviations in each item, sex, age. 2. During 9-13 years of age, annual growth increments of effective maxillary length, effective mandibular length and lower anterior facial height were 1.90, 2.89 and 0.99mm. 3. The prediction tabulation was made in an attempt to predict effective mandibular length & lower anterior facial height derived from effective maxillary length.
