Abstract

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to evaluate the stress distributions and the displacements of obturator for edentulous maxillectomy patients and to compare them with those of complete denture using three-dimensional finite element analysis. Materials and methods: Based on the CT image of edentulous patient, three-dimensional finite element model of edentulous maxillae was constructed. Three-dimensional finite element model of edentulous maxillae with palatal defect was also fabricated. On each model, complete denture and obturator prosthesis were created. Vertical static force of 200 N was applied on the left maxillary premolar and molar region. The von Mises stress values and the displacements of models were analyzed using three-dimensional finite element analysis. Results: Maximum von Mises stress values were recorded in the cortical bones of both models. The von Mises stress value in the complete denture model was 2.73 MPa and 2.69 MPa in the obturator model. High von Mises stress values were also observed on the tissue surface of prosthesis. The maximum value of the displacement in the obturator was higher than that of complete denture. Conclusion: The obturator showed a worse result in terms of stress distribution and displacement than complete denture. In the prosthodontic rehabilitation of edentulous maxillectomy patient accurate impression procedure based on patients'anatomy and application of prosthodontic principle should be considered.

연구 목적: 이 연구의 목적은 삼차원 유한요소 분석법을 이용하여 무치악 구개결손 환자에 사용되는 폐쇄장치의 응력 및 변위를 측정하고 이를 총의치 모형과 비교하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 무치악 환자의 컴퓨터단층촬영 영상을 기반으로 구개 중앙에 상악절제술 후 발생한 결손부를 가지는 무치악 상악모형과, 무치악 3차원 유한요소 모형을 제작하였다. 각각의 모형에 적합한 총의치와 폐쇄장치를 제작하고 좌측 소구치와 구치 부위에 200 N의 수직하중을 가하였다. 3차원 유한요소 분석법을 이용하여 두 모형에서 보철물과 잔존 상악골조직의 von Mises 응력값과 변위량을 측정하였다. 결과: 두 모형 모두 하중을 가한 쪽의 피질골에서 최대 von Mises 응력 값이 관찰되었다. 총의치 모형의 피질골에서 가장 높은 값은 2.73 MPa 이었으며 폐쇄장치 모형의 피질골에서 가장 높은 값은 2.69 MPa 이었다. 보철물의 조직면에서도 높은 응력값이 관찰되었다. 최대 변위량은 폐쇄장치에서 총의치보다 더 높은 값이 관찰되었다. 결론: 폐쇄장치는 총의치에 비해 교합력 전달 면에서 불리했고, 더 큰 변위량이 관찰되어 상악절제술을 받은 무치악 환자의 보철치료 시 해부학적 지식에 바탕을 둔 정확한 인상채득과 보철치료 원칙의 적용이 고려되어야 한다.
