Abstract

Restoring lost teeth is very important in terms of both function and aesthetics. If tooth loss occurs in the posterior region and the loss of support is persistent, it may cause a gradual shift in the position of the mandible and a change in occlusion. This clinical case attempted to restore support for the posterior teeth with a fixed prosthesis using implants in a patient whose opposing teeth were erupted and the occlusal plane collapsed due to long-term loss of the maxillary left posterior teeth and mandibular right first molars. To correct the occlusal plane of remaining dentition, wax-up of maxillary left posterior teeth was duplicated with acrylic resin and placed on maxilla. Surgical template for implant placement were fabricated using digital technology. After the support of the posterior teeth was restored with the placement of the implant, stable occlusion with temporary restorations was observed for a sufficient time. Afterwards, monolithic zirconia prosthesis was placed on the patient to ensure functional and aesthetic improvement.

상실 부위를 수복하는 경우 정출된 치아에 대한 치료는 반드시 필요하다. 특히 치아 상실이 구치부에서 발생하여 구치부 지지의 상실이 지속되면 하악의 점진적인 위치를 이동시키면서 교합의 변화를 유발하기도 한다. 본 임상 증례는 상악 좌측 구치부 및 하악 우측 제1대구치 상실이 장기간 지속됨에 따라 대합치가 정출되고 교합평면이 무너진 환자에서 임플란트를 이용하는 고정성 보철물로 구치부 지지를 회복하고자 하였다. 정출된 부위의 교합평면을 수정하기 위해, 상실 부위의 진단 왁스업을 레진으로 복제하여 이를 상악에 장착한 후 교합면을 삭제하였다. 또한 임플란트 식립을 위해 디지털 기술을 활용한 임플란트 식립 가이드를 제작하였다. 임플란트의 식립으로 구치부의 지지가 회복된 이후에 진단 납형을 반영한 임시 수복물을 통해 충분한 시간동안 안정적인 교합 상태를 관찰하였고, 이후 임시 수복물의 형태를 복제한 단일 결정 지르코니아 보철물을 환자에게 장착함으로써 기능적, 심미적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.
