The treatment of patients with severe periodontitis should be proceeded step-bystep through an accurate diagnosis of each patients' individual tooth and with a strategic treatment plan. Implant-supported fixed prosthetic restoration has the advantage of high patient satisfaction and stable vertical dimension compared to the removable partial denture. However, multiple teeth defect areas lacking hard tissue may be disadvantageous in aesthetic failure and longer treatment time. In addition, it takes a certain period of time to manufacture and install a conventional fixed prosthesis, and during this process, the provisional prosthesis must satisfy the mechanical, biological, and aesthetic requirements of teeth. The purpose of this article is to describe the fabrication of implant-supported fixed prosthesis through a step-by-step approach in a partially edentulous patient.

Statement of problem: Restoring and replacing teeth with fixed prostheses commonly used in dental practice. Because of improper oral hygiene care and inaccurate laboratory procedure, complications of fixed prostheses were found in the mouth of patients. Although many efforts have been continually made to obtain the data of long term prognosis of fixed prostheses, it was difficult to do it. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical status of fixed prostheses. Material and methods: In order to assess the clinical status of fixed prostheses, a total of 161 individuals(aged 17-85, 99 women and 62 men with 1596 unit of fixed prostheses, and 1169 abutments) who first visited the Department of Prosthodontics, Pusan National University Hospital, between April to September, in 2007 were examined. Results and conclusion: The results of this study were as follows: 1. Length of service of fixed prostheses was $8.6{\pm}0.6$ years(mean), 10.0 years(median). 2. Location of fixed prostheses was found to have no statistically significant influence on longevity of fixed prostheses(P>.05). But, the success rate was high in posterior region and in mandible where the failure rate was high in combination(P<.05). 3. Longevity of fixed prostheses made of metal was longest(mean: $13.0{\pm}9.3$, median: 14.0), gold, precious ceramic, non-precious ceramic trailing behind(P<.05). 4. Number of units in fixed prostheses was found to have no statistically significant influence on longevity of fixed prostheses(P>.05). But, the success rate was high in Single-unit and the failure rate was high in over 3-unit(P<.05). 5. Condition of opposing dentition was found to have no statistically significant influence on longevity of fixed prostheses(P>.05). But, the success rate was high in natural dentition(P<.05). 6. Defective margin(28.2%), dental caries(23.0%), periodontal disease(19.3%), periapical disease(16.9%) were frequent complications. In 30.1% of the cases, abutment state after removing fixed prostheses was needed to be extracted.

The endodontically treated tooth is generally restored with post and core, owing to the brittle and the loss of large amount of tooth structure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical status of fixed prostheses to improve the quality of dental care. In order to assess the clinical status of fixed prostheses, a total of 101 individuals (aged 30-89, 66 women and 35 men loaded with 125 fixed prostheses) who treated in the Department of Prosthodontics, Pusan National University Dental Hospital, between January 1990 to December 2005 were examined. The results of this study were as follows: 1. Length of service of fixed prostheses was $9.7{\pm}3.4$ years (mean), 11.1 years (median). 2. Age and sex of patient was found to have no statistically significant influence on longevity of fixed prostheses (P>.05). 3. Location of fixed prostheses was found to have statistically significant influence on longevity of fixed prostheses (P<.05). The longevity of fixed prostheses was low in anterio-posterior combination region (median:9.2 years). 4. Longevity of fixed prostheses made of base metal ceramic(median:12.0 years) and noble metal ceramic (median:11.3 years) is long (P<.05). 5. Number of units in fixed prostheses was found to have no statistically significant influence on longevity of fixed prostheses (P>.05). 6. Condition of opposing dentition was found to have no statistically significant influence on longevity of fixed prostheses (P>.05). 7. Dental caries, periapical disease, tooth fracture were frequent complications. In 51.9% of the cases, abutment state after removing fixed prostheses was needed to be extracted.

브로네마르크가 골유착성 임플랜트를 소개한 이래로, 현재 골유착성 임플랜트에 의한 치료는 안전하고 안정적인 방법으로 여겨지고 있다. 골유착성 임플랜트를 이용한 초기의 치료는 무치악 환자의 저작기능 회복에 중점을 두어 왔다. 그러나 현재는 환자와 시대의 요구에 따라서 심미성이 주요한 관심사가 되었다. 그래서 표준 지대주보다 더 심미적인 지대주 시스템들이 개발되었다. 다양한 직경의 임플랜트 고정체에 관한 임상가들의 요구에 의해 직경 이 큰 고정체가 생산되기 시작했으며, 5mm의 직경을 갖는 고정체가 그 예이다. 골유착성 임플랜트를 사용하여 보철치료를 할 때, 골과 고정체의 계면은 보철물과 지대주에 가해지는 교합력을 인접골에 전달하게 되며, 이것은 계면에 생물학적인 반응을 야기할 수 있다. 임플랜트의 형태는 골흡수와 같은 바람직하지 않은 반응을 일으키지 않도록 고안되어야 하며, 임플랜트 자체가 교합력을 견딜 수 있어야 한다. 그러므로 골유착성 임플랜트 시스템을 임상에 사용하려고 할 때 이것의 생역학적 분석은 반드시 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 삼차원 유한요소분석적 방법을 사용하여 3.75mm직경을 갖는 고정체에 표준 지대주, 이세티콘 지대주, 마이러스콘 지대주를 연결한 모델과 5mm 직경을 갖는 고정체에 표준 지대주를 연결한 모델에 각각 수직하중, 경사하중, 수평하중을 가했을 때의 응력분포를 비교하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 모든 모델에서 금나사의 경부, 금원주, 지대주에 응력의 집중이 일어났다. 2. 임플랜트 고정체에서는 고정체 상방 2/3, 그리고 지대주와 접촉하는 고정체 상면에서 응력의 집중이 관찰되었다. 3. 골에서는 상부 피질골에 응력의 집중이 관찰되었으며, 해면골에서는 두드러진 응력의 집중을 보인 부위는 없었으나 고정체의 근단부 주위 해면골에서의 응력값이 비교적 높았다. 4. 5mm 직경의 고정체를 사용하지 않은 모델 중에서, 표준 지대주를 사용한 경우가 가장 응력분산에 유리하였으며 마이러스콘 지대주를 사용한 경우가 가장 불리하였다. 5. 3가지 하중 조건하에서 수평하중과 경사하중의 경우가 수직하중의 경우보다 더 높은 응력값이 관찰되었다. 6. 응력값은 골에서보다 임플랜트 내부에서 훨씬 높았다.

As more and more males are participating in the female dominated nursing profession in Korea, they are facing a number of discriminations such as department assignment on the job because of male gender stereotype. The purpose of this study is to examine hospital workers's gender role identity, gender stereotype, and the relationship between those attitudes and gender prejudice against male nurses. The results showed that the androgynous group had lower gender stereotypes and lower prejudice against male nurses than those of the other groups. Hospital workers had a strong tendency to believe that male nurses should work mainly in special departments such as emergency rooms, intensive care units, operating rooms and they think that the male nurses are not fit for caring patients because of the patients' unfamiliarity with male nurses. Gender stereotypes were positively correlated to prejudice against male nurses. Therefore, hospitals should consider developing a detailed plan to encourage a culture of gender equality by tackling the existing prejudice against male nurses so that male nurses can get the same opportunities as female counterparts in terms of department assignment and job promotion.

When restoring edentulous patients with lower complete denture, the smaller supportive and retentive area of mandible can lead to poor support and stability, denture dislodgement and pain resulting discomfort. In this situation, implant prosthesis can improve esthetics, stability and occlusal force. Whereas, patients with a upper complete denture can adjust more easier because of palate. Therefore, it is suggested to rehabilitate fully edentulous patients with lower implant-supported, upper complete denture as one of the treatment options. So, we are going to report the case and literature review about how the lower implant prosthesis opposing to upper complete denture affects the bone resorption of maxillary residual ridge.

This study aims to explore the concepts and nature of records in digital environments based on analyzing recent theoretical studies of records. This is not intended to defining records for management in a specific environment. This study is divided into two parts. Firstly, it classifies the definitions of records in three perspectives; evidence, information, and representation of activities, and explores the concepts and theoretical backgrounds underlying each definition. Secondly, it articulates some implications for understanding the concept and nature of records in digital environments by four categories such as i) fixity, ii) materiality, iii) activity and context, and iv) trustworthiness, which were derived from the definition of "persistent representation of activities" by Geoffrey Yeo.

Anchorage control in orthodontic treatment is an important factor affecting treatment results. In the conventional approach, intra-oral anchorage such as application of differential force and moment, Nance holding arch and lingual arch, as well as extra-oral anchorage such as head gear were used for anchorage reinforcement. However, these anchorages may result in undesired tooth movement and require patient cooperation. To overcome these disadvantages, skeletal anchorage system was introduced as orthodontic anchorage. Types of skeletal anchorage include implant, onplant, miniplate and miniscrew. Especially, miniscrew has many advantages such as reduced patient cooperation, low cost and easy placement. Recently, it is successfully used in orthodontic treatment. This cases were treated using orthodontic miniscrews for retraction of ectopically erupting maxillary canine and impacted mandibular canine and intrusion of maxillary incisors.

The direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) technique would be promising for the full-arch implant-supported restorations due to reduced cost and manufacturing time without potential human errors and casting defects. The aims of this case report were to describe the successful outcome of an implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis in the edentulous maxilla by using the DMLS technology and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) monolithic zirconia crowns, and to describe its clinical implications. A healthy 51-year-old Korean woman visited Seoul National University Dental Hospital and she was in need of a rehabilitation of her entire maxilla due to severe tooth mobility. In this case, all maxillary teeth were extracted and an implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis was fabricated that involved a cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) framework with the DMLS technique and CAD/CAM monolithic zirconia crowns. Six months after delivery, no distinct mechanical and biological complications were detected and the prosthesis exhibited satisfactory esthetics and function. In this case report, with the DMLS system, the three-dimensional printed prosthesis was created without additional manual tooling and thus, reliable accuracy and passive fit were obtained.

The aim of this study was to assess change of the oral health related quality of life after fixed prosthetic treatment using implant therapy. One hundreds and twenty patients from 3 dental clinics in Seoul, Incheon and Daegu were recruited after verbal consent. The oral health related quality of life by OHIP-14, the treatment satisfaction by North Texas Periodontal Associates and the oral health interest w+ere measured before fixed prosthetic treatment using implant and one months after prosthetics. Total OHIP-14 changed significantly between pre- and post- treatment (p<0.001). Although gender(p=0.01), economic status (p=0.04) and education status (p=0.01) affect to OHIP-14 significantly before treatment, these factors didn't have effects on OHIP-14 after treatment. The subjective satisfaction in masticatory function, social function and psychological function increased significantly after treatment (p<0.001). Besides, the patients' oral health interests increased significantly after treatment (p<0.001). The fixed prosthetic treatment using implant therapy can improve the oral health related quality of life, subjective satisfaction of mastication, social function and psychological function, and oral health interest of dental patients.
