Abstract

In patients who used removable partial dentures for a long period of time, gradual alveolar bone resorption occurs in edentulous area. However, in residual teeth area, alveolar bone is maintained sound. This causes an imbalance in intermaxillary distance between a maxillae and a mandible which is intensified due to expansion in vertical and horizontal bone amount difference between the two area as time passes. As the result, this shows a substantial difference in vertical position according to the period of teeth loss even after residual teeth loss. As in this situation, a patient with bilaterally and anterio-posteriorly different intermaxillary distance, various prosthodontic problems can be caused in fixed implant prosthodontics and implant overdenture. This study shows a case in which implant-supported removable partial denture was fabricated considering residual alveolar bone height after teeth loss in a patient who had been using a distal extension removable partial denture for a long period of time. In anterior area with short intermaxillary distance, fixed prosthodontics were fabricated with implant placement and in posterior area with long intermaxillary distance, a removable partial denture was fabricated. Finally, a small number of implants were placed without additional surgery and economical and comfortable treatment results were shown.

오랜 기간 국소의치를 장착한 부분 무치악 환자에서, 치아가 결손된 부위는 점진적인 치조골의 흡수가 발생되는 반면, 잔존 지대치 부위는 치조골이 유지되어 있는 것을 볼 수 있다. 이는 차후 잔존 지대치를 상실한 후에도 치아 상실의 시점에 따라 수직적인 골 높이의 현저한 차이를 나타낸다. 이와 같이 전체 치아 발거 후 상하악 악간 거리가 좌우측 또는 전후방으로 다르게 나타나는 환자에서 임플란트를 이용한 고정성 보철물이나 임플란트 피개의치의 제작 시 여러 가지 보철적 문제가 야기될 수 있다. 본 논문은 구치부 결손으로 인해 오랫동안 국소의치를 사용했던 환자에서 치아 상실 후 잔존 치조골의 높이를 고려하여 임플란트 지지 국소의치를 제작한 증례로서 잔존 치조골 량이 많아 악간거리가 짧은 전치부는 임플란트를 식립하여 고정성 보철물로, 오랫동안 치조골의 흡수로 인해 악간거리가 긴 구치부는 국소의치로 수복하였다. 본 증례에서의 임플란트 지지 국소의치는 부가적인 수술이 없이 소수의 임플란트를 식립하고 환자에게 기존 보철물의 양식과 유사한 보철물을 제공함으로서 경제적이고 편안한 치료결과를 보여주었다.
