Abstract

Loss of posterior support may cause overloading and excessive wear of remaining teeth. Moreover, the extrusion of antagonistic teeth leads to the destruction of the occlusal plane. The loss of vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) also emerges clinically, which may bring the loss of esthetic appearance and function. These patients who suffer from the loss of posterior support, often require vigorous periodontal treatments (osteotomy, crown lengthening) and extensive oral rehabilitation. Sixty three years old female patient visited for the prosthetic treatment of the posterior edentulous area. She had no other systematic disease and parafuctional habits for prosthetic treatment. Intraoral and radiographic examinations were done. The evaluation of VDO and vertical dimension of rest position were evaluated for proper prosthetic procedures and diagnostic wax up was done. As a result of diagnosis, VDO was increased by 2 mm considering the loss of VDO and space for the prosthetic treatment. After the pretreatments, initial preparation of teeth and provisionalization were carried out. Six weeks later of provisionalizaion, final preparation and impression was performed. Using the duralay resin copings, jaw relation was registered. The master cast was mounted and definitive restoration was fabricated. After the evaluation of esthetic and function, pick up impression for clinical remounting was done. Lucia jig was made for new jaw relation and occlusal adjustment on the articulator. Definitive restoration was delivered and the patient was periodically recalled for additional occlusal adjustment. From this case, the satisfactory functional and esthetic results through full mouth rehabilitation with increase vertical dimension were achieved.

치아 우식, 치주 질환, 치아 파절 등으로 다수의 구치가 상실된 환자의 경우 대합치의 정출, 잔존 치아의 과도한 교합 하중으로 인한 교합 외상의 문제가 발생된다. 대합치 정출이 발생된 경우 인접 조직의 성장도 이와 동시에 발생되고 보철을 위한 악간 공간의 상실을 동반하게 되며 교합 외상으로 인한 치아에 동요도 증가 및 교모에 의한 마모도 증가하게 된다. 이러한 구치의 다수 상실, 대합치 정출 및 잔존치의 교모 증가를 동반한 환자에 있어서는 적절한 치주 수술(치관 연장술, 골 절제술 등) 및 수직 교합 고경의 회복을 통한 잔존 치아와 상실된 치아의 수복이 필요하게 된다. 본 증례의 환자는 상실된 구치의 수복을 주소로 내원한 환자로 구치부 상실 및 잔존치의 마모된 치열을 지녀보철 수복을 위한 공간을 위해 수직고경을 증가시켜 치료한 치험예를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
