Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of three types of intraoral scanners and the accuracy of the single abutment and bridge abutment model. Materials and methods: In this study, a single abutment, and a bridge abutment with missing first molar was fabricated and set as the reference model. The reference model was scanned with an industrial three-dimensional scanner and set as reference scan data. The reference model was scanned five times using the three intraoral scanners (CS3600, CS3500, and EZIS PO). This was set as the evaluation scan data. In the three-dimensional analysis (Geomagic control X), the divided abutment region was selected and analyzed to verify the scan accuracy of the abutment. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software (${\alpha}=.05$). The accuracy of intraoral scanners was compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test and post-test was performed using the Pairwise test. The accuracy difference between the single abutment model and the bridge abutment model was analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: The accuracy according to the intraoral scanner was significantly different (P < .05). The trueness of the single abutment model and the bridge abutment model showed a statistically significant difference and showed better trueness in the single abutment (P < .05). There was no significant difference in the precision (P = .616). Conclusion: As a result of comparing the accuracy of single and bridge abutments, the error of abutment scan increased with increasing scan area, and the accuracy of bridge abutment model was clinically acceptable in three types of intraoral scanners.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the machining precision and the marginal and internal fit of single restorations fabricated with three types of lithium disilicate ceramic blocks and to evaluate the correlation. Materials and methods: Single restorations were designed using a CAD software program. The crown designed model file was extracted from the CAD software program. Three types of lithium disilicate blocks (Rosetta; HASS, IPS e.max CAD; Ivoclar vivadent, VITA Suprinity; VITA) were milled using a milling machine. For the fabrication of the crown scanned model file, the intaglio surface of the restoration was digitized using a contact scanner. Then, using the three-dimensional inspection software (Geomagic control X; 3D Systems), the process of the overlap of the crown designed model and the scanned model and 3-dimensional analysis was conducted. In addition, the marginal and internal fit of the crowns was evaluated by a silicone replication method. The difference among three types of single ceramic crown was analyzed using a Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Spearman correlation analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between machining precision and fitness (α=.05). Results: There was a significant difference in the machining precision and the marginal and internal fit according to the type of ceramic block (P<.001). In addition, the machining precision and the marginal and internal fit were positively correlated (P<.001). Conclusion: The marginal fit of crowns fabricated according to the types of ceramic blocks was within the clinically acceptable range (< 120 ㎛), so it can be regarded as appropriate machining precision applicable to all clinical as aspects in terms of the marginal fit.

Monolithic zirconia has been widely used in fixed partial dentures due to high strength and fracture toughness. Nevertheless, the usage of monolithic zirconia in anterior restoration was limited because of opacity. Recently, esthetic monolithic zirconia blocks are developed by improving translucency and using various shading systems. Manufacturer introduces 3M $Lava^{TM}$ Esthetic with increased cubic phase and fluorescent ingredients is more esthetic than previous monolithic zirconia. This case report describes favorable anterior restorations using translucent monolithic zirconia.

현재 골 유착성 임플랜트는 안전하고 유용한 보철 수복 분야의 하나로 자리잡아 가고있다. 과거 완전 무치악 환자에게 있어서 저작 기능의 회복이란 면에 중점을 두었던 경향에서 현재 골유착 임플랜트의 높은 성공률에 의해 부문 무치악, 단일치 수복에 까지 다양하게 사용되고 있다. 특히 심미성과 인접치의 손상을 가하지 않는다는 면에서 단일치 수복에서 골유착 임플랜트 치료에 관심이 모아지고 있다. 단일치 수복에 있어서 심미성이 중요한 문제로 대두되면서 이런 수복에 사용될 수 있는 다양한 계통의 임플랜트들이 개발되어 사용되고 있다. 이중 가장 기본적인 Branemark 계통의 CeraOne 지대주, 최근에 개발된 전부도재 지대주인 CerAdapt 전부주조 지대주인 UCLA 계통등은 높은 성공률을 보이며 많이 사용되고 있다. 임상가들에 의해 나사유지형 보철물이 착탈성이란 관점에서 선호되고 있다. 시멘트유지형 보철물에서는 나사공이 없는 온전한 교합면을 유지한다는 면과 교합력을 받는 면적에 있어서 더 넓은 면을 가진다는 점등 더 많은 장점을 가진다고 주장하는 사람도 있다. 임상가들의 기호에 의해 선택되어지는 나사 유지형과 시멘트 유지형에 있어서 교합력이 야기하는 하중하에서 각각의 응력 분포를 분석할 필요성이 요구되었다. 이 연구는 단일치 수복에 사용되는 CeraOne, CerAdapt UCLA 계통에서 각각의 나사 유지형과 시멘트유지형에서의 응력분포를 삼차원 유한요소법으로 분석하고 상부 구조물에 가해지는 수직하중, 수평 하중, 경사 하중에 의해 야기되는 응력을 비교 분석한 것이다. 본 연구의 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. CeraOne, CerAdapt, UCLA 지대주 모두 시멘트유지형보다 나사유지형에서 응력집중이 컸다. 2. CeraOne 시멘트유지형인 1번 모델에서 응력분산이 유리하였고, UCLA 나사 유지형인 6번 모델에서 가장 불리하였다. 3. 모든 모델에서 고정체 경부에서 가장 큰 응력 집중이 있었고 이것은 UCLA 지대주에서 가장 컸다. 4. 상부 구조물에서 주된 응력의 집중은 교합면에서 일어났다. 5. 골은 상부 피질골, 즉 고정체경부와 만나는 부위에서 가장 큰 응력의 집중이 일어났으며 수평, 경사 하중시 응력집중 양상은 힘을 가한 쪽의 반대쪽 고정체 경부에 응력이 집중되는 양상을 보였다. 6. 전체 모델과 골, 고정체 모두에서 수평 하중과 경사 하중시 보다는 수직 하중시 더 적은 응력값을 보였다.

Recently implant supported single crown is the popular treatment option to replace a single missing tooth. The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyze and evaluate the survival of implants with the $TiUnite^{TM}$ surface for single tooth replacement. From September 2002 to December 2006, 269 TiUniteTM surfaced implants were used in single tooth replacements at the Institute of Oral Health Science, Samsung Medical Center. Twenty one cases were excluded because of neighbor implants, missing records & short follow up period. Among 248 implants, the 129 implants (52.0%) were inserted in the maxilla and 119 (48.0%) in the mandible. One hundred implants placement (40.3%) were combined with guided bone regeneration, and 36 implants placement (14.5%) were combined with sinus bone augmentation. Mean observation period was $26.0{\pm}11.8$ months after implant placement. Twelve implants were recorded as failures, rendering a single implant survival rate of 95.2% over the observation period. Among failed 12 implants, 10 implants placed in the maxilla. The survival rate in the maxilla was 92.2% and in the mandible was 98.3%. The use of $TiUnite^{TM}$ surfaced single implant placement showed high survival rate for short time period.

Previously, the usage of monolithic zirconia in anterior restoration was limited because of problems such as the monotony of tones and shades which would compromise the outcome of esthetic purpose. Zirconia was merely used as a coping with additional porcelain veneering whereas porcelain chipping cannot be evaded. Recently, with the improvement of monolithic zirconia, the various translucency and tones made it possible to use zirconia for anterior restoration. In this case, a male patient of 63 years old received a full mouth rehabilitation with monolithic zirconia. After a period of time usage, the outcome showed a favorable result functionally and esthetically.

Severe tooth wear may lead to pathological changes of pulp, imbalance in occlusion as well as functional and esthetic problems. In this case, 34-year-old male came to the hospital because of generally worn dentition due to attrition and erosion. After evaluation, a full mouth restoration with elevation of the vertical dimension of occlusion was planned. After occlusion was stabilized by an occlusal stabilization appliance, centric relation position was recorded and subsequent provisional restorations were fabricated. After evaluation, a CAD-CAM (computer aided design-computer aided manufacturing) prosthetic restoration was carried out using monolithic zirconia. After 12 months of follow up observation, the patient was satisfied with function and esthetic appearance.
