한국인 두개안면부 표준 비지수: 166개 항목의 성별 및 연령별 정상치 및 표준편차

Abstract

While restoration of the normal is the main goal in reparative surgery, the ultimate aim of aesthetic plastic surgery is to create an above-average or attractive face, which demands attention to proportionality. The visual impression of the face is a composite effect of the projective and surface distances, inclinations and angles obtained from the three-dimensional face. To study facial morphology objectively, however, the proportion qualities of normal and anomalous faces must be examined quantitatively. The need for accurate general population baseline data on the human face and cranium has become even more evident. We undertook a study to record one hundred and ranged from 6 to 18 years and then measured datas were analysed using computer program to obtain the normal indicies. The craniofacial proportion indicies were revealed relationship of the height, length, width and projection degrees between the various facial structures. The normal proportion indicies could be used clinically, first in identifying the it's normality as well as morphologic characteristics of the craniofacial structures, second in analyzing the degree of projectiveness and depressiveness objectively. They also could be used in differential diagnosis between the morphologically simillar congenital craniofacial anomalies, in setting the criteria of the postoperative results, and assessing the effect of the operation. Finally they supply the plastic surgeon and other specialists in the craniofacial surgery with basic normal population data.

저자들은 대구 및 경상북도 일원의 6-18세의 건강한 남녀 1,300명을 대상으로 계측한 119개 표준 계측치를 기초로 166개 항목의 두개안면 비지수를 산출하였다. 한국인의 두개안면 표준 비지수는 표춘 계측치와 합계 선천성 두개안면 기형과 변형의 분류 및 진단, 외과적 치료 계획 수립, 수술 결과의 판정 등에 광범위하게 이용될 수 있을 것이다. 또 성형외과 외에도 안과, 이비인후과, 치과, 유전학자 등 두개안면 기형 및 변형을 다루는 분야의 연구에 기초 자료로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.
