상악 중절치간 중심선과 해부학적 부위와의 관계에 대한 조사연구 = A Study on the Various Anatomical Landmarks Associated with Determining the Dental Midline

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The distances from the center line between maxillary right and left central incisors(the dental midline)to the various anatomical landmarks were measured. Fifty five students(thirth four males and twenty one females) who have at least 28 natural teeth including maxillary and mandibular incisors and bicuspids were examined.
The resulting data were as follows :
1. There was statistically significant difference between the dental midline and the center line of maxillary labial frenum(p < 0.05).
2. There was no statistically significant difference between the dental midline and the center point of incisive papilla, philtrum line, the center line between two mandibular central incisors, and the median palatine suture line (p > 0.05).
3. There was no statistically significant sexual difference among data.
4. The philtrum line showed the highest value of correspondence to the center line between two maxillary central incisors followed by the center point of incisive papilla, the center line of two mandibular central incisors, median palatine suture line and the center line of maxillary labial frenum at the decreasing rate.
