摘要

本篇目標在於探討台灣澎湖地區兒童嘴唇肌肉力量與咬合、顏面型態之關係。目前面對咬合不正之病患在接受矯正時，大多優先注重在牙齒之排列等型態的矯正，但過去許多文獻多有指出口腔周邊的肌肉力量等功能狀況亦是會影響牙齒排列及咬合狀況的，全球各式針對混合齒列所推出的功能性矯正訓練，也開始著重於周邊肌力的介入。本計畫目的在於探討台灣（澎湖）地區之孩童，以臨床檢查測試及家長問卷調查，探討其最大嘴唇閉鎖肌力（Maximum lip seal force）之大小是否顯著與齒列、顏面型態甚至是生活習慣相關，結果顯示（1）臉型、（2）人中長度、（2）前牙水平覆蓋、（4）口呼吸之習慣與口唇閉鎖肌力在統計學上有顯著相關（P＜0.05）。

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between children's maximum lip seal force (MLSF) and occlusion and facial morphology in Penghu country, Taiwan. At present, most patients with malocclusion are treated priority in the alignment of dentition. However, many literatures in the past have pointed out the importance of peri-oral muscle forces and reported that the muscle strength also affects the alignment of the teeth and the occlusion. The global myofunction therapy for the mixed dentition has also begun to focus on the intervention of surrounding soft tissue. The aim of this project is to examine whether the lip seal force is significantly related to dental and facial morphology and even oral habits through clinical examamination, force measurement and parental questionnaires among children in Taiwan (Penghu). The results showed that (1) facial type, (2) length of philtrum, (2) overjet of anterior teeth, (4) mouth breath were statistically significantly correlated (P＜0.05) to MLSF.
