Abstract

When losing many of the remaining teeth, the relation among them can be put into dynamically unfavorable situation. In the case that the patient without any incompatibilityto the denture, overdenture can be considered. Moreover, we can overcome the dynamical disadvantage, and improve the support, stability, and retention of the partial denture by using implant at the edentulous area. In this case, patient with crossed occlusion between few remaining teeth was treated with maxillary and mandibular partial denture. Single implant fixture was placed at the edentulous space, opposing to the maxillary teeth occluded, and $Locator^{(R)}$ attachment was connected. The patient's esthetic satisfaction was improved by ideally adjusting the tilted occlusal plane. Since the patient was satisfied both esthetically and functionally, and maintained stable during the clinical observation for 6 months after the treatment, we would like to report about it.

다수 잔존치를 상실한 경우 잔존치간의 관계가 역학적으로 불리한 상황에 놓일 수 있다. 환자가 의치에 관한 거부감이 없을 때, 이러한 경우 피개의치를 고려할 수 있지만, 무치악 부위에 임플란트를 이용함으로써 역학적인 불리함을 극복하고 국소의치의 지지, 안정, 유지를 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 증례는 소수 잔존치간에 엇갈린 교합을 보이는 환자로 상악 치아에 대합되는 하악의 무치악 부위에 단일 임플란트를 식립하고 $Locator^{(R)}$ attachment를 연결하여 상하악 국소의치로 치료하였다. 기존의 기울어진 교합평면을 이상적으로 재설정하여 환자의 심미적 만족도를 향상시켰다. 치료 이후 6개월간의 임상 관찰에서 환자는 심미적, 기능적으로 만족하고 안정적으로 유지되었기에 보고하고자 한다.
