Abstract

Hemimandibulectomy and free fibular flap (FFF) in patients with squamous cell carcinoma could disturb the functional movement of the mandible. The muscular function in the sectioned side was compromised because of the incompetency of the muscle attachment to the mandible, leading to the unstable occlusal contact in the centric and eccentric occlusion. In this report, we present a case of a 63-year-old male who underwent cancer surgery and reconstruction with fibular graft, and he needed a fixed dental prosthesis to restore tooth loss in the anterior region. Occlusal contact change and instability were found according to the bite force in the centric relation and eccentric movement. This case report aimed to present the prosthetic procedure for fabricating the functionally optimized fixed prosthesis wherein the functionally generated path (FGP) technique and digital imaging method were applied to replicate mandibular movement and vertical dimension of the patient.

편평세포암으로 하악골 절제술과 비골 피판 이식을 받은 경우 하악의 기능적 움직임이 저해될 수 있다. 하악골이 절제된 측은 근육부착의 소실로 인해 근기능이 약화되어 중심교합 및 편심교합에서 불안정한 교합접촉을 초래한다. 본 증례는 하악골절제술과 비골이식 재건술을 받은 63세 남성에서 전치부의 상실된 치아를 수복하기 위해 고정성 보철물이 필요했던 경우이다. 중심 및 편심교합에서 교합력의 크기에 따라 교합접촉 양상의 변화가 관찰되었다. Functionally generated path 기법과 디지털 영상기술을 적용하여 환자의 하악운동과 조화되고 적절한 수직고경이 있는 기능적으로 최적화된 고정성 보철물을 제작할 수 있었기에 보고하고자 한다.
