Various options have been introduced for the selection of implant overdenture attachments. Attachment wear due to the repeated insertion and removal of dentures has caused problems such as decreased retention and the requirement for suprastructure remanufacturing. In these cases, a Locator bar system was applied using the drill and tapping technique to achieve total retrievability. In a 55-year-old female patient who showed three degrees of mobility in most of her teeth due to severe alveolar bone loss, a complete denture in the maxilla and an implant supported type overdenture in the mandible were planned after extracting all the remaining teeth. Six implants were placed from canine region to the distal molar region, and the locator was connected to the milled bar using the drill and tapping technique. For a 61-year-old female edentulous patient who complained of poor retention with old denture, a complete denture in the maxilla and an implant-tissue supported type overdenture in the mandible were planned. Four implants were placed in front of mental foramen, and the Locator was also connected to the Hader bar using the drill and tapping technique. With this technique, female parts can be easily replaced, and retention can be continuously maintained.

심한 하악 치조골 흡수룰 보이는 완전 무치악 환자에서 의치는 환자의 저작 효율이 극히 저하되며 특히 치조골의 형태가 불규칙한 경우 의치의 안정성은 더 떨어질 수 있다. 이때 임플란트를 통한 지지를 얻는 피개의치를 통해 편안감 회복과 향후 지속적인 치조골 흡수를 줄이는데 도움을 줄 수 있다. 임플란트 피개의치를 위한 하방의 attachment는 크게 bar attachment와 solitary attachment로 나뉘며 임플란트 고정체의 위치가 하악 전방 치조골에 있으면서 의치 전체가 견고한 지지를 얻기 위해서는 bar attachment가 유리하고 구치부에도 고정체가 위치하며 쉬운 착탈과 유지관리의 편의를 얻고자 하면 solitary attachment를 고려할 수 있다. 본 증례는 환자의 상황에 따른 임플란트 식립 위치 결정, attachment를 선택을 통하여 임플란트 피개의치를 다양하게 적용하여 만족할만한 결과를 얻어 이를 보고하는 바이다.

본 증례는 74세 남환으로 20년 전 제작한 하악 임플란트 피개의치의 잦은 탈락을 주소로 내원하였다. 기존 의치 사용 시 수직고경이 감소되었으며, 상악 총의치는 입술 지지 및 유지력이 부족하였으며, 하악 피개의치는 bar attachment 손상으로 clip의 유지력 부족이 관찰되었다. 손상된 bar attachment를 제거 후 ball attachment로 교체하였으며, DENTCATM Tray를 이용하여 인상 채득, 수직고경을 측정하고, 고딕 아치 기록방법으로 중심위를 결정하여 교합기록을 시행하였다. 채득한 인상체를 스캔하여 소프트웨어를 이용하여 최종 의치의 형태를 디자인하였고, 3D 프린터로 시적의치를 제작하였다. 제작된 시적의치를 장착하여 교합평면 및 교합관계, 안모 형태, 발음 등을 평가한 후 교합기록을 하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 최종 의치를 제작하였다. 최종 의치의 내면 조정 및 양측성 균형교합을 형성하였으며, 하악 의치에서는 직접법으로 attachment를 연결하였다. 새로 제작된 상하악 의치 사용 시, 수직고경의 증가 및 입술지지를 회복하여 개선된 안모가 관찰되었으며, ball attachment 교체로 하악 임플란트 피개의치의 유지력이 증가하여 기능적으로도 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Statement of problem. In distal extension removable partial denture, the preservation of health of abutment teeth is very important, but abutment teeth are subjected to unfavorable stress. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate the biomechanical effects of mandibular removable partial dentures with various prosthetic designs using strain gauge analysis. Material and methods. Artificial teeth of both canines were anchored bilaterally in a mandibular edentulous model made of resin. Bilateral distal extension removable partial dentures with splinted and unsplinted abutments were fabricated. Group 1 : Clasp-retained mandibular removable partial denture with unsplinted abuhnents Group 2 : Clasp-retained mandibular removable partial denture with splinted abutments by 6-unit bridge Group 3 : Bar-retained mandibular removable partial denture Strain gauges were bonded on the labial plate of the mandibular resin model, approximately 2 mm close to the abutments. Two vertical experimental loadings (100N and 200N) were applied subsequently via two miniature load cells that were placed at mandibular first molar regions. Strain measurements were performed and simultaneously monitored from a computer connected to data acquisition system. For within-group evaluations, t-test was used to compare the strain values and for between-group comparisons, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used and Duncan test was used as post hoc comparisons. Results. Strain values increased as the applied load increased from 100N to 200N for all groups (p<.05). The strain values of group 1 and 2 were tensile under loadings. In contrast, strain values of group 3 were compressive in nature. Under 100N loading, group 1 showed higher strain values than group 3 in absolute quantity (p<.05). Under 200N loading, group 3 showed higher strain values than group 1 and 2 in absolute quantity (p<.05). Group 1 showed higher strain values than group 2 (p<.05). Conclusion. Splinting of two isolated abutments by bridge reduced the peri-abutment strain in comparison with unsplinted abutments. Strain of bar-retained removable partial denture increased much more as applied load increased, but was compressive in nature.

Objectives: In mandibular edentulism, the treatment option with a two-interforaminal implant-retained bridge and a removable partial denture is rarely evaluated in literature. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the stress distribution of this treatment option by comparing it with traditional treatment options with interforaminal implants in the edentulous mandible. Materials and Methods: Two interforaminal implants were placed in a formalin-fixed cadaver mandible, and overdentures with three different types of attachments were fabricated: (1) two ball attachments and an overdenture, (2) a Dolder bar and an overdenture, and (3) screw-retained two-implant inter-canine porcelain fused to a metal bridge and an implant-assisted removable denture (IARD) with precision attachments. Three biting conditions were generated for each denture type, and the strains were documented under vertical loading of 100 N. Results: The calculated strain values from measured strains in all measurement sites and loading conditions for the screw-retained two-implant intercanine porcelain fused to a metal bridge and a cast framework partial denture with precision attachments situation were lower than in the other scenarios (P<0.05). Conclusion: Within the limitations of the present study, it can be concluded that an IARD may be a reasonable and valuable alternative to ball attachments or a bar in two interforaminal implants, especially when the patients prefer to be able to show their teeth even when they take out their removable dentures.

일반적으로 악골의 흡수가 심한 환자에게 총의치 보철물은 적은 유지력 때문에 매우 불리하다. 특히, 하악골의 흡수가 심한 환자의 경우 2$\sim$4 정도의 임플란트를 식립후에 제작되는 stud type의 over-denture나 bar-over denture 또는 magnetic over-denture 등이 있고, 5$\sim$6개 정도의 임플란트 식립으로 제작되는 fixed removable bridge가 환자에게 높은 만족감을 줄 수 있어 총의치 보철 치료시 고려해야 할 보철 치료 방법중의 하나이다. fixed removable bridge를 제작하는데 있어 먼저 placement guide를 이용하여 모델의 임플란트의 위치와 구강내의 임플란트의 위치를 반드시 확인해야 하고, 구조물을 만들기 전에 wax denture를 제작하여 환자의 simile line 이나 악간 관계를 확인 후에 구조물 제작을 해야 한다.

Statement of problem. Conventional denture treatment for totally edentulous patients is associated with a variety of functional and psychosocial problems. The placement of implants in the anterior region of the maxilla and mandible and the fabrication of an implant-retained overdenture might solve these problems. Purpose. This study compared the marginal bone loss around the implant and evaluated the implant survival rate and complications in patients treated with overdentures retained by implants for 2 years. Material and methods. Patients who had received implant-retained overdentures using a Dolder bar at Samsung Medical Center from January 1999 to June 2005 and had participated in the annual recall programs for two years were selected for this study. A total of 18 patients and 56 $Br{\aa}ne-mark\;system^{(R)}$ implants were used, and their data were reviewed. Evaluations of the survival rate, bone quality, marginal bone loss, and complications were performed. The data on the Dolder bar length and clip length were measured. The change in marginal bone loss and the correlation between the marginal bone loss and bar length, clip length, or bone quality were investigated. Results. Implants placed in this study showed a 100% survival rate. The average annual bone loss was 1.12mm in the first year and 0.27mm in the second year in the maxilla, and 0.58mm in the first year and 0.22mm in the second year in the mandible. The marginal bone loss in the maxilla showed no significant association with those in the mandible. (P>.05). There was no significant difference in marginal bone loss around implants between the first and second year. (P>.05) There was no statistically significant relationship (P>.05) between the marginal bone loss and bone quality, clip length, or Dolder bar length. The Dolder bar length showed a high correlation with the clip length. (P<.05) Various complications were noted. Conclusion. These results confirmed the favorable outcome for patients treated with implant-retained overdentures.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of tooth mobility and design of the direct retainer on the stress of supporting tissues in distal extension removable partial denture. Tooth mobility was simulated and four different types of direct retainer such as Alters clasp, I-bar clasp, wrought wire clasp, and Dalbo attachment were designed and stress on the support-ing tissues were measured and analyzed with straingauge method. The following conclusions were drawn from this study. 1. The stress revealed at the lingual side of alveolar bone of the abutment tooth in edentulous area was the largest. 2. The stress at the lingual side of alveolar bone of the abutment tooth in edentulous area was increased according to the increase of tooth mobility in I-bar clasp and Dalbo attachment. 3. The stress at the residual ridge crest was the great in Dalbo attachment on mobility 0, in I-bar clasp on mobility 1, and in wrought wire clasp on mobility 2. 4. There was little changes of stress according to the increase of tooth mobility at buccal and lingual side of the residual ridge crest and around the abutment teeth in dentulous area.

There were many studies that distribute the partial edentulous states and examine the removable partial denture designs in the planning of removable partial denture treatment. This study was performed in the point of removable partial denture prescription to evaluate partial edentulism and its removable partial denture designs. The data was collected from the dental laboratory of each three dental colleges in Seoul and from two dental laboratories only for removable partial dentures as a prescription form. A total of 1411 cases with prescription form collected from dental laboratories were distributed for this study, then 788 cases were selected for this study. The case selection was done according to the contents of prescription form. The selected cases were divided into maxillary arch and mandibular and classified in terms of types of major connector and direct retainer, unbroken anterior teeth, Kennedy classification, the number of remaining teeth, and distribution of age and sex. The analyzed results were as follows : 1. The Kennedy classification I showed highest frequency both in maxilla and mandible. 2. The arch distribution of removable partial denture was 50.08% for maxilla and 49.92% for mandible. 3. The highest frequency in the distribution of direct retainer was the RPA clasp design. 4. The frequency of unbroken anterior 6 was 73.36% for maxilla and 82.30% for mandible. 5. The design of broad palatal strap and lingual bar revealed the highest prevalence in the major connector construction. 6. The mean number of remaining teeth per arch was 8.25 for maxilla and 8.37 for mandible. 7. The mean age of the patients supplied with removable partial denture was 52.25 years for men, 51.68 years for women, 52.11 years for maxilla, and 51.76 years for mandible and women showed more prevalence.
