The purpose of this study was to investigate the recognition on the national health insurance of denture, implant among the elderly. This survey was performed on 238 of the elderly aged over 60 years in Daejeon. The research was performed using a self-reported questionnaire and interview method from June to July, 2014. The collected data was analyzed using chi-square test, multiple response frequencies by PASW Statistics ver. 18.0. Recognition of national health insurance denture coverage was 76.9%. Channel of information awareness is higher in the media (61.8%). Awareness of application time (36.4%), medical expense by insurance (43.2%) is generally low. And awareness of denture follow up management is significantly low (18.6%). Time of denture and implant coverage needs were over 60 and 65 years old respectively. The respondents want the national health insurance to help medical expenses over 50%. Period of implant and denture re-production required unlimitedness 32.0% and 47.8%, participation to oral hygiene (dentures) management by dental hygienist was 94.1%. In conclusion, denture and implant coverage was higher awareness, but details were not recognized. Therefore, we should provide more detailed information. To increase the efficiency of national health insurance should be considered to lower the coverage age.

건강한 치아는 '오복' 중의 하나로 꼽힌다. 그 이유는 아마도 '잘 먹기'가 그만큼 중요하기 때문일 것이다. 우리 몸의 모든 기관이 정상적으로 작동하기 위해서 영양분이 제대로 전달되어야 하고 그 시작은 '음식물 씹기'에서 시작되기 때문이다 치아의 가장 중요한 임무는 삼키기 쉽도록 음식을 자르고 부수는 것이다 거기에 더해 음식의 맛도 느낄 수 있게 도와준다. 여러 개의 치아를 잃게 되면 임플란트나 틀니치료를 받게 된다. 하지만 아무리 좋은 임플란트, 틀니라 하더라도 건강한 치아와 같을 수는 없다. 치아를 건강하게 보존하고 유지하는 것이야말로 '건강함'을 유지하기 위한 시작이라 볼 수 있다.

The recognition of the elderly on the national health insurance of denture was 61.7%, but there was a low recognition on the details. The elderly had started using dentures from 66.24 years old. The average used period of the past denture was 7.09 years. In conclusions, the provider is required to promote the insurance coverage of denture to increase the coefficient of utilization of the elderly.

Fabrication of complete denture by Jiro Abe's method was introduced that enhance the retention and stability of denture by sealing around the denture border with mucous membrane to make negative pressure at the inner surface of denture base when swallowing or occlusion. In this case, taking impression and fabricating complete denture by the Jiro Abe's method for an edentulous patient with severe mandibular alveolar bone resorption allowed us to obtain clinically enhance stability of denture and improve satisfaction of patient.

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles, denture base resin, were synthesized by suspension polymerization through control of polymerization conditions (stabilizer concentration, co-monomer concentration, and the agitation speed) and evaluated changes in molecular weight and particle size. We also investigated their mechanical properties of compression-molded samples which were from synthesized polymer powder mixed with methyl methacrylate (MMA) solution. under the condition of volumetric ratio as 2:1(PMMA powder and MMA solution). The results shows that the mechanical properties were mainly affected by particle size over 100 ${\mu}$m (in particle size) and by molecular weight under 100 ${\mu}$m (in particle size). From these results, we concluded that the most appropriate particle size of PMMA powder for heat-cured denture base resins is around 100 ${\mu}$m. and its molecular weight is around 300000 (M$\sub$n/).
