Abstract

Impression taking procedure is very important for support, retention and stability of denture, and it affects the success of denture in completely edentulous patients. Various materials and methods have been used for impression taking in complete denture, while dynamic impression method is more physiological and functional method than the others. We had satisfying results with fabrication and relining of dentures after taking impression in the most physiological condition with recovery of deformed soft tissue by dynamic impression method using Coe-comfort$^{(R)}$ (GC America, IL, USA), tissue conditioner, in edentulous patients in this case report.

총의치 환자의 치료 시 인상 채득 과정은 의치의 지지, 유지, 그리고 안정을 위해 매우 중요하며, 의치의 성공여부를 좌우한다. 총의치 인상 채득을 위한 여러 가지 재료와 방법들이 이용되어 왔으며, 그 중 조직 양화재 (tissue conditioner)를 이용한 동적 인상법 (dynamic impression method)은 보다 생리적이고 기능적인 방법이다. 본 증례들에서는 무치악 환자에서 조직 양화재인 Coe-comfort$^{(R)}$ (GC America, IL, USA)를 이용한 동적 인상법으로 변형된 연조직의 회복과 하께 가장 생리적인 상태로 인상을 채득하여 의치의 제작 및 첨상을 시행하였으며, 만족스런 결과를 얻었다.
