Support, retention, and stability of dentures are key factors in the use of complete dentures in edentulous patients. With the development of digital dentistry, attempts are being made to replace traditional treatment methods. Also, struggle to reduce the number of patient visits and to manufacture high-quality digitally fabricated dentures are ongoing. In this case, a digital denture was restored using a tray capable of obtaining centric relation through gothic arch tracing and a facial scan. By replacing the traditional complete denture restoration method, the number of patient visits was reduced and esthetic results with satisfactory denture support, retention, and stability were obtained.

Purpose: Previous studies related with occlusal contact area were limited that interocclusal thickness level or the method of measurement has not been accurate in measuring. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between head posture and occlusal contact area using photo occlusion analysis. Materials and Methods: 54 subjects with complete dentition (44 men, 10 women / 23 to 33 years of age) were included. To identify the relationship between head posture and occlusal contact area, subjects took interocclusal record in maximal intercuspal position with three different positions(supine position ($0^{\circ}$) / inclined position ($45^{\circ}$) / upright position ($90^{\circ}$)) on the dental unit chair. Occlusal contact area was analyzed using photo occlusion analysis. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS ver.25.0 at 95% confidence interval. Results: Head posture has no significant effect on the changes of occlusal contact area (P > 0.05). Conclusion: When interocclusal relation is stable, head posture does not change a interocclusal record because head posture has no significant effect on occlusal contact area. Analysis of occlusal contact area using photo occlsion analysis device is useful due to its material property and simplicity.

복합 레진을 이용한 심미 수복 시 접하게되는 어려움 중의 하나는 한정된 색상과 일정한 광학적 특성을 가진 복합 레진을 이용하여 각각 서로 다른 광학적 특성을 보이는 다양한 치아들의 색조를 재현하는 것이다. Shade matching을 시행하는 첫 과정부터 술자의 시각적 판단에 의존해야하고 판단에 사용하는 shade guide들도 이미 제공되고 있는 한정된 색상만 비색이 가능하기 때문에 shade guide에 존재하지 않은 색은 술자의 경험과 추측에 의해 결정되어 진다. 최근 컴퓨터나 측색기를 치과 영역에 도입하여 치아의 색을 측정하고자하는 시도가 계속되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 기기를 이용한 측색의 결과도 다양한 인자들의 영향을 받게되며, 비록 인간의 눈을 통해 이루어지는 비색보다는 일정한 결과를 나타낸다 하더라도 현재 치과계에서 사용하는 색상 표현 방법으로는 이렇게 기기를 이용해 측정된 결과값을 활용할 수 없게되는 문제점을 지닌다.(중략)

치과용 복합레진은 bis GMA형의 monomer가 개발되고, 무기 filler가 첨가되어 물리적인 성질이 더욱 향상되었으며, 또한 법랑질에 대한 산부식법을 통하여 치아에 대한 결합력을 높을 수 있는 방법이 도입되면서 치과용 수복물로서 각광을 받아 왔다. 특히 복합레진은 이전까지 이용되었던 silicate cement 이나 acrylic resin에 비하여 변색이 적고, 원래의 형태를 비교적 잘 유지하는 장점을 가져서 전치부의 수복에 유용한 재료로 인식되었다. 복합레진을 이용한 전치부의 수복은 비교적 적은 치질의 삭제만으로도 가능하고, 심미적으로도 우수한 결과를 보이고 있어서 올바른 술식을 통하여 적절히 이용한다면 좋은 임상적인 결과를 얻을 수 있는 것이 사실이지만 재료학적인 한계가 아직 까지는 엄연히 존재한다. 복합레진을 이용한 전치부의 수복에 있어서, 복합레진의 문제점과 이를 줄이기 위한 방법, 임상시의 주의점 등에 관해 살펴보도록 한다.

This study investigated the awareness and purchase status of the private dental insurance. Self-reported survey was conducted with patients over the age of twenties who visited dental institutions located in Seoul Metropolitan City and Gyeonggi Province. The demographic and health related characteristics of respondents were analyzed, and logistic regression was conducted to examine factors affecting the awareness and purchase of private dental insurance. Because only four years had been passed since the introduction of private dental insurance, the awareness and purchase rate was found to be low. However, the number of people considering subscription due to the economic burden of dental care service was relatively high. Factors affecting awareness were satisfaction of the national health insurance, purchase of private health insurance and private dental insurance, self-perceived dental health status, and smoking. The variables affecting purchase of dental insurance were age, awareness, purchase of private health insurance, smoking, number of visits to dental institution. Because qualitative and quantitative change would be made in the dental care utilization due to the rapidly growing dental insurance subscribers, further studies regarding the trend of purchase rate of private dental insurance and the effect of dental insurance on use of dental institution are needed.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the development of the left mandibular third-molar development with modified Demirjian method and its relation to chronological age. A total of 1653 digital panoramic radiographs of healthy individuals aged between 7 and 23 years who visited Yonsei University Dental hospital were selected. The developmental status of the left mandibular third molars was assessed using dental maturity scoring proposed by Demirjian et al. The mean age of the first appearance of mineralization, complete crown formation, and complete root formation were around 9, 14, 21 years respectively. Statistically significant differences between males and females in the development stage of D and G were revealed that crown formation and root length completion were attained earlier in males than in females. There was significant positive relationship between age and third molar development in both sexes, and new formula was presented to estimate age of children and adolescents based on their developmental stages of third molars. In this study, the use of left mandibular third molar as a developmental marker is appropriate, and age estimation can be attained with dental maturity stage.

Using computer-aided design and manufacturing technique improve quality of treatment in many aspect. This case reports the complete mouth rehabilitation of a patient with amelogenesis imperfecta utilizing digital technology. Clinical examination revealed loss of mastication due to insufficient occlusal stop, missing teeth, interdental spacing due to microdontia, insufficient overbite, and etc. Full veneer crowns for teeth were selected, followed by a fixed partial denture and implant placement was done using CAD-CAM guide template with bone graft for partially edentulous space. Definitive restorations were duplicated by double scanning provisional restorations and successfully delivered to the patient. These full mouth rehabilitation procedures resulted in satisfactory outcomes for the patient functionally and aesthetically.

To examine whether the effect on utilization of ambulatory dental care are associated with oral disease according to pack-years of smoking in Korean population. Using data from Korea Health Panel between 2008 and 2012, we analyzed 3,866 participants who were male and more than 20 years. Pack-years of smoking were significantly associated with utilization in ambulatory dental care after adjustment for age, marital status, family income, and chronic disease. Ambulatory dental visitation frequency has been estimated to increase by 6% when 10.0 pack-years of smoking increased. Especially, the smokers who had 20.0~29.9 and 30.0 or more pack-years of smoking in forties and fifties males were 25% and 52% respectively more than non-smokers in utilization of ambulatory dental care.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between removable denture and depression. This study aims to investigate the relationship between depression and each group by dividing them into a group that were using removable dentures and a group that needed removable dentures but were not using removable dentures. Materials and methods: This study was conducted using raw data from the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHNES). By using variables related to the state of the prosthesis and the need for prosthesis among oral examination data, the oral examination data were classified into two groups; group using removable denture and group in need of removable dentures. In addition, the variables of depression were classified into normal (0-4), mild depression (5-9), moderate depression (10-19), and severe depression (20-27) using the values of PHQ-9. For statistical analysis, logistic regression analysis was performed using SAS 9.4. Results: In the group in need of removable dentures, the risk of severe depression was statistically and significantly higher than the group using removable dentures. Conclusion: In patient who have lost multiple teeth, rehabilitation of the missing area with removable dental prosthesis is expected to decrease the occurrence of severe depression.
