Abstract

The most critical aspect of full-arch prosthodontic treatment is evaluating whether the patient's vertical occlusal dimension is appropriate, and if necessary, restoring it through increasing vertical dimension. If the vertical occlusal dimension is too low, it can lead to reduced chewing efficiency, as well as not only aesthetic concerns but also potential issues like hyperactivity of muscles and posterior displacement of the mandible. This report is about the patient dissatisfied with pronunciation and aesthetics due to an inappropriate vertical occlusal dimension resulting from prior prosthetic interventions, underwent full-arch prosthodontic restoration treatment. Through the utilization of digital diagnostic apparatus, a comprehensive evaluation was undertaken for patient's vertical occlusal dimension, occlusal plane orientation, and the condition of prosthetic restorations. Through 3D facial scanning, the facial landmarks were discerned, and subsequently, the new occlusal plane was established. This provided the foundation for a digitally guided diagnostic wax-up. An elevation of 5 mm from the incisor was determined. Comprehensive dental rehabilitation was then executed for all remaining teeth, excluding the maxillary four incisors. The treatment protocol followed a systematic approach by initially creating implant-supported restorations on both sides of the dental arch to establish a stable occlusal contact. Subsequently, prosthetic restorations for the natural dentition were generated. Diagnostic and treatment planning were established through the utilization of facial scanning. This subsequently led to a reduction in treatment complexity and an expedited treatment timeline.

전악 보철 치료에서 가장 중요한 것은 환자의 수직 교합 고경이 적절한지 평가하는 것이며, 필요시 교합 고경 거상을 통해 회복해 주어야 한다. 수직 교합 고경이 낮으면 저작력이 감소되며 심미적인 문제 뿐만 아니라 저작근의 과수축이나 과두의 후방 변위가 일어난다. 본 증례는 수차례에 걸쳐 전악에 이르는 보철 수복 치료를 받은 후 부적절한 수직 교합 고경으로 인해 발음 및 심미에 불만족스러워 하는 환자에게 수직 교합 고경 거상을 동반해 전악 보철 수복 치료를 했다. 디지털 진단 장비를 활용해 환자의 수직 교합 고경, 교합 평면, 보철물 상태 등을 종합적으로 평가하고 치료계획을 수립했다. 3D 안면 스캔으로 얼굴의 해부학적 구조를 파악하고 교합 평면을 설정한 다음 이에 맞추어 디지털로 진단 왁스업 했다. 전치부 기준 약 5 mm의 수직 교합 고경 거상을 결정하였으며 기존 식립된 양측 상하악 구치부의 임플란트의 상부 보철과 상악 4전치를 제외한 모든 잔존 치아를 수복하였다. 치료 순서는 양측 구치부의 임플란트 보철물을 먼저 제작하여 안정적인 교합 접촉을 형성한 뒤 자연치의 보철물을 제작하는 방식으로 진행했으며, 적응된 임시 수복물을 반영하여 동일한 순서로 최종 보철물을 제작하였다. 이와 같이 전악 보철 치료에서 안면 스캔을 이용해 환자의 facial landmark와 조화를 이루는 교합 평면을 설정하고 디지털 진단 왁스업 과정을 통해 적절한 치료계획을 수립하였고, 거상된 교합 고경을 유지하기 위해 구치부 임플란트를 이용한 결과 복잡한 기공 과정을 줄이고, 치료 시간을 단축할 수 있었다.
