The purpose of this study is to analyze regional variation factors of hypertension treatment rate in COVID-19 based on the analysis results based on ecological methodology. To this end, data suitable for ecological analysis were collected from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's regional health statistics, local government COVID-19 confirmed cases, National Health Insurance Corporation, Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service's welfare statistics, and Korea Transport Institute's traffic access index. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were conducted using SPSS Statistics 23 for regional variation and related factors in hypertension treatment rate, and geographical weighted regression analysis was conducted using Arc GIS for regional variation factors. As a result of the study, the overall explanatory power of the calculated geo-weighted regression model was 27.6%, distributed from 23.1% to 33.4% by region. As factors affecting the treatment rate of hypertension, the higher the rate of basic living security medical benefits, diabetes treatment rate, and health institutions per 100,000 population, the higher the rate of hypertension treatment, the lower the number of COVID-19 confirmed patients, the lower the rate of physical activity, and the alcohol consumption. Percentage of alcohol consumption decreased due to COVID-19 pandemic. It was analyzed that the lower the ratio, the higher the treatment rate for hypertension. Based on these results, the analysis of regional variables in the treatment rate of hypertension in COVID-19 can be expected to be effective in managing the treatment rate of hypertension, and furthermore, it is expected to be used to establish community-centered health promotion policies.

The use of digital technology in fixed prosthetic treatment using implants enables predictive treatment through diagnosis and virtual surgery by integrating clinical and radiological information of patients. Existing digital scanning methods require several components to be removed, such as removing the healing abutment and connecting the scan body. In the scannable healing abutment developed in consideration of this point, scanning is performed directly on the healing abutment, maintaining soft tissue sealing and simplifying scanning. Digital technology can also be used when obtaining the intermaxillary relationship. Recently, various digital technologies have been reported to acquire the intermaxillary relationship of edentulous patients using surgical guides, patient-specific scanning devices, or scans of the inside of temporary dentures. In this case, the implant-supported fixed prosthesis treatment was performed through scanning the scannable healing abutment and the inner side of the temporary denture to obtain the intermaxillary relationship, thereby simplifying the treatment process and obtaining aesthetically and functionally excellent clinical results.

In the fracture operation of pan facial fracture, there are many cases where the shape and position of the occlusal and oral structures are abnormally changed because the index for repositioning to the original position is insufficient. And trismus and gag reflex in patients with pan facial fractures increase the difficulty of dental treatment, and the difference in the position of the jaw bone makes it difficult to restore aesthetically and functionally. In this case, digital workflows for minimal intraoral work could be selected to reduce patient discomfort and the difficulty of dental treatment. This case is using a digital workflow from implant planning to final prosthesis production in a patient with acquired skeletal grade III, trismus, and gag reflex due to pan facial fracture 15 years ago. In this case report, the use of digital workflow in a patient who has difficulty in dental treatment was able to minimize patient discomfort and obtain esthetic and functionally appropriate results.
