Abstract

In patients with unstable mandibular movements who are accompanied by involuntary facial muscle movements and asymmetrical changes in the facial features, many difficulties exist in determining the vertical dimension of occlusion, recording centric relation, and transferring information about the occlusal plane. In this case, for a patient with unilateral facial nerve palsy who was edentulous for a long period of time, a CAD-CAM provisional prosthesis was fabricated using a 3D printing customized gothic arch tracer and a prefabricated occlusal plane recorder, the POP bow system, to achieve a stable interarch relationship. Afterwards, a full mouth implant fixed prosthesis was fabricated by delivering an appropriate vertical dimension of occlusion, a reproducible centric relation, and a correct three-dimensional occlusal plane, and continuous maintenance was performed to restore functional and aesthetic oral health to the patient.

불안정한 하악운동을 하는 환자가 불수의적인 안면근육의 움직임과 안모의 비대칭적 변화를 동반하는 경우 교합수직고경의 결정과 중심위 기록, 그리고 교합평면의 정보 전달에 많은 어려움을 겪게 된다. 본 증례에서는 편측성 안면 신경마비의 증상을 갖고 오랜 기간 무치악 상태였던 환자를 위해, 3D 프린팅 방식으로 제작된 개인맞춤형의 고딕아치 묘기장치와 조립식의 교합평면 인기장치인 POP bow system을 이용하여 CAD-CAM 임시보철물을 제작하고 안정적인 악간관계를 도모하였다. 이후, 적절한 교합수직고경과 재현성 있는 중심위 및 올바른 3차원적 교합평면의 전달을 통해 전악 임플란트 고정성 보철물을 제작하고, 지속적인 유지관리를 시행하여 환자에게 기능적이고 심미적인 구강건강을 회복해 주었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.
