다양한 소재(금속, 세라믹, 고분자 소재 등)들이 3차원 형상기반 적층제조법에 적용되고 있는데, 금속 소재를 이용하여 3D 프린팅 법으로 치과용 수복물을 제조하는 연구가 많이 보고되고 있다. 하지만, 티타늄 또는 티타늄 합금 분말을 이용하여 3D 프린팅 법으로 제작한 치과용 보철물에 관한연구 보고는 많지 않다. Kanazawa 등 (2014)은 Ti-6Al-4V 합금분말을 이용하여 SLM법으로 총의치 용 framework를 제작하여 주조법으로 제작한 것과 비교 평가하였고, Mangano 등(2013)은 Ti-6Al-4V 합금분말로 지름이 작은 일체형 (1-piece narrow-diameter) 임플란트를 SLS법으로 제작하여 16명의 환자에게 식립한 다음, 2년간 관찰하였고, Mangano 등 (2014)은 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data를 3D이미지로 변환시켜 DLMS법으로 치근 형상의 임플란트를 제작하여 15명의 환자에게 식립한 다음, 1년간 관찰하였다. 또한 서울대학교 및 연세대학교 치과생체재료과학교실 (2016)에서는 3D 프린팅 법으로 제작한 티타늄 시편과 기계 가공한 티타늄 시편의 물성을 비교하였다. 그러나 티타늄 합금 분말을 이용하여 3D 프린팅 법으로 제작한 치과용 보철물을 실제 임상에 적용하는 단계에서 기존 기계가공 방식으로 제작한 티타늄 보철물과 3D 프린팅 법으로 제작한 티타늄 보철물의 물성과 표면특성을 다양하게 비교 평가하는 것이 필요하여 본 연구에서는 3D 프린팅 법으로 제작한 티타늄 시편과 기계 가공한 티타늄 시편의 물성특성과 표면특성을 비교하여 조사하였다.

When you need to make an upper and lower full-mouth prosthesis, you should design a prosthesis by making an accurate diagnosis and planning well. In particular, in patients with occlusal plane collapsed and misplaced occlusal plane, the patient should be restored to the previous occlusal height and the correct occlusal plane should be created. In addition, appropriate materials should be used to ensure that the patient is able to chew the food well and not force it. When the implants are placed in an inappropriate position, the design of the prosthesis is determined by considering the relationship with the prosthesis and occlusion. Design should be made for the cleanliness around the implant.

Objectives: This study, investigated the satisfaction of patients who received the procedure using an implant guide to identify factors affecting satisfaction in dental hospitals and clinics in Jeollanam-do. Methods: From December 2021 to February 2022, questionnaires randomly were collected from 128 patients aged 20 to 90 years visiting dental hospitals and clinics using surgical guides in some areas of Jeollanam-do. Results: There was a negative correlation between the overall satisfaction average and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain level (r=-0.414, p<0.001), and a negative correlation between VAS pain level and VAS satisfaction (r=-0.273, p<0.05), As subjective pain decreased, subjective satisfaction increased, and as subjective pain increased, the overall satisfaction average also decreased, showing an inverse correlation. Factors affecting satisfaction with the guide for implant surgery were whether you would like to recommend it to people around you (β=0.556), whether you would like to explain the guide (β=0.194), and whether you thought it was good to receive the guide (β=0.199). Conclusions: Therefore, in order to increase the satisfaction of the implant surgical guide procedure, it is considered important to perform a sufficient explanation of the implant surgical guide before the procedure.

Excessive tooth wear can lead to decrease in occlusal vertical dimension and can cause pathological changes in the oral environment and masticatory system. When recovering occlusal vertical dimension and occlusion, accurate diagnosis and analysis are essential. This clinical case describes a 75-year-old woman with severely worn dentition due to loss of the posterior support. Full mouth rehabilitation with occlusal vertical dimension increment was planned. Clinical and radiographic examinations, occlusal vertical dimension evaluation, and diagnostic wax-up were performed and patient adaptability was evaluated using provisional restorations. As for definitive restoration, considering economic condition of the patient, removable partial denture was fabricated and solitary implants were placed in the mandibular left and right posterior region to increase support and retention of the removable partial denture. During one year of follow-up, functional and esthetic outcomes were observed satisfactory.

Developing of digital technique, it is possible to fabricate implant prostheses for edentulous area using intraoral 3-dimentional information throughout implant diagnosis and treatment process. It is being changed that from the method using CAD/CAM, producing prostheses by model scanning after conventional impression and model processing, to the method of fabricating implant provisional restorations and customized abutments by digital impression after connecting digital impression copings (scanbody) and implant fixtures without models. But, this digital method has not been actively used for implant prostheses not yet. Specially, it is short of intraoral digital impression cases for immediate provisional restorations of the maxillary anterior implants. The gingival contour impression of maxillary anterior area is very important for esthetic restorations. Accordingly, in this case report, the using a digital impression coping (scanbody) and digital impression by CEREC Omnicam (Sirona, Bensheim, Germany) or Trios (3shape, Copenhagen, Denmark) were introduced for immediate provisional restorations in 3 cases needed a single implant restoration in maxillary anterior area. The clinical results were satisfactory on the convenience and accuracy of digital impression technique and the good esthetics of final restorations.
