Abstract

Gradual occlusal attrition is a normal process of aging. However, severe attrition causes pathogenic pulp, occlusal disharmony, functional disorder and esthetic problems. Alteration of vertical dimension should be considered for space regaining for tooth restoration, esthetic improvement or correction of occlusal relationship. Vertical dimension should be determined within the range of minimal invasive process satisfying patient's esthetic requirements and operator's functional goal. And patient's adaptation to newly determined vertical dimension should be assessed simultaneously. Deep overbite is not a simple problem of overbite, instead it is an usually complicated problem with anterior-posterior occlusal relationship. Considering these facts, appropriate restoration of edentulous part as well as improvement of anterior-posterior relationship should be performed to solve this fundamental problems. In this study, a 67 year-old male patient with many worn teeth and loss of posterior teeth was treated with removable partial denture at edentulous mandibular area to increase vertical dimension and fixed prostheses at dentulous maxillary and mandibular area. With these treatments, we attained a satisfactory result in functional and esthetic aspects as a report case.

치아 교합면의 점진적인 마모는 나이가 들면서 진행되는 정상적인 과정이다. 그러나 과도한 마모는 병적인 치수 상태, 교합 부조화, 기능 장애 및 심미적인 문제를 가져온다. 치아 수복을 위한 공간 확보, 심미성 증진, 또는 교합관계를 수정하기 위해서는 수직고경 변경을 고려하여야 하는데 환자의 심미적 요구와 술자의 기능적 목표를 최소침습적으로 달성하는 것을 충족시키는 범위 내에서 수직고경을 결정하고 새로운 수직고경에 대한 적응 평가를 함께 이루어야 한다. 그리고 과피개 교합 문제는 단순히 피개 교합의 정도에 국한된 문제라기 보다는 전후방적인 교합 문제를 복합적으로 지니고 있는 경우가 많다. 이러한 고려사항을 생각해 보았을 때 근본적인 문제 해결을 위해서는 악골 및 치아의 전후방적인 관계 개선과 더불어 결손부의 적절한 수복이 뒤따라야 한다. 본 증례는 67세 남자 환자로 다수 치아 마모와 구치부 상실된 환자로 수직고경의 증가를 동반하여 하악 무치악 부위는 가철성 국소의치, 상하악 유치악 부위는 고정성 보철물로 수복을 하였으며, 이에 기능적, 심미적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 증례를 보고하고자 한다.
