Abstract

Excessive teeth abrasion causes pathologic changes of oral environment and masticatory system due to decrease in occlusal vertical dimension. When establishing new occlusal plane and recovering vertical dimension, accurate diagnosis and analysis are essential. In this case, after appropriate centric relation in elevated vertical dimension was taken using Gothic arch tracer, full mouth rehabilitation was performed. A 70-year-old male patient had the chief complaint that he could not eat due to teeth wear. He showed generalized teeth wear and decreased vertical dimension. Elevation of vertical dimension was planned by model analysis. According to increased vertical dimension, centric relation was recorded using Gothic arch tracer and temporary prostheses were applied. Appropriate occlusion was established by temporary prostheses for 4 months. Final prostheses were fabricated using vertical dimension adapted by temporary prostheses. Through this procedure, satisfactory outcomes were achieved both in functional and esthetic aspects.

과도한 치아의 마모는 수직 교합 고경의 감소를 야기하여 구강 및 저작계의 병적 변화를 일으킬수 있으며, 이 경우 새로운 교합 설정과 수직 고경 회복 시 정확한 진단과 분석이 필수적이다. 이에 본 증례에서는 고딕 아치 트레이서를 통해 거상된 수직고경에서의 중심위를 기록한 후 전악 수복을 시행하였다. 본 증례는 70세 남자 환자로서 이가 시리고 아파서 음식을 먹지 못한다는 주소로 내원하였다. 전반적인 치아 마모에 의한 수직고경의 감소를 보여 면밀한 모형분석을 통해 수직고경의 거상을 결정하였다. 거상된 수직고경에 맞춰 고딕 아치 트레이서를 이용하여 중심위 채득 후 임시 보철물을 장착하였다. 4개월 동안 임시 보철물을 통해 적절한 교합을 형성하였으며 이를 이용하여 최종 보철을 제작하였다. 치료를 통해 기능적, 심미적으로 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.
