Two male patients of hereditary ectodermal dysplasia with oligodontia aged 12years and 10years 6months were recalled after 6 years and treated by reconstructing overdentures according to the growth. Patients were improved functionally and cosmetically. Periodic recall is reguired and denture should be reconstructed according ato their growth.

구치부 지지소실과 편측 저작으로 교합이 환자는 불안정한 하악운동을 보이며, 이는 고령의 환자에서 복잡하게 나타날 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 교합붕괴와 이상 하악운동(Oral dyskinesia)을 보이는 환자에서 고딕아치 묘기법(Gothic arch tracing)과 스플릿 캐스트법(Split cast technique)을 이용하여 중심위와 습관적 전방 폐구위를 확인하고자 하였다. 이후 교합안정장치 형태의 임시의치를 사용하여 안정된 교합과 재현성 있는 하악운동을 회복하고자 하였고, 설측교합(Lingualized occlusion) 개념을 이용하여 총의치와 국소의치를 제작해 수복하였다.

무치악 환자에서 악간관계의 부조화는 자주 관찰되며, 의치에서 인공치의 교합접촉 시 안정의 결여는 환자의 불편감과 점막 외상, 나아가서는 근육과 신경의 변화나 감정적 장애를 일으킬 수 있다. 따라서 기능 시 의치에 가해지는 교합력을 고려하여 적절한 교합을 설정하는 것이 성공적인 의치 치료에 중요한 요소라고 할 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 하악 전돌로 인한 상하악 악궁간의 심한 부조화를 가진 완전무치악 환자를 양악총의치로 수복하였다. 비정상적인 악간 관계를 보상하기 위해 구치부 교차교합으로 인공치를 배열함으로써 의치의 안정과 유지를 확보하였고, 환자 또한 기능적, 심미적으로 만족하였다.

무치악은 총의치나 임플란트 보철물로 수복이 가능하며 임플란트를 이용한 피개의치는 총의치보다 유지와 안정이 우수하고, 임플란트 고정성 보철물에 비해 저렴하고 심미적이다. CM $LOC^{(R)}$ $Pekkton^{(R)}$ 어태치먼트는 여자부가 poly-ether-ketone-ketone으로 마모저항성이 뛰어나다. 한편, SR Ivocap system은 가압주사성형법으로 의치의 수직고경 변화가 적고 강도가 우수하다. 본 증례에서 상악은 4개의 임플란트 식립 후 CM $LOC^{(R)}$ $Pekkton^{(R)}$ 어태치먼트와 SR Ivocap system을 이용한 임플란트 유지 피개의치를, 하악은 가철성 국소의치를 제작하였고 심미적 및 기능적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to analyze the shapes of lingual polished surfaces in lower complete dentures formed by polished surface impressions and to provide reference data for use when manufacturing edentulous trays and lower complete dentures. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Twenty-six patients with mandibular edentulism were studied. After lower wax dentures were fabricated, wax was removed from the lingual side of the wax denture and a lingual polished surface impression was obtained with tissue conditioner. The definitive denture was scanned with a three-dimensional scanner, and scanned images were obtained. At the cross-sections of the lingual frenum, lateral incisors, first premolars, first molars, and anterior border of the retromolar pads, three points were marked and eight measurements were taken. The Kruskal-Wallis test and a post hoc analysis with the Mann-Whitney test were performed. RESULTS. Each patient showed similar values for the same areas on the left and right sides without a statistically significant difference. The height of the contour of the lingual polished surface at the lingual frenum was halfway between the occlusal plane and lingual border, it moved gradually in a downward direction. The angle from the occlusal plane to the height of the contour of the lingual polished surface was increased as it progressed from the lingual frenum towards the retromolar pads. CONCLUSION. The shape of the mandibular lingual polished surface was convex at the lingual frenum, lateral incisors and gradually flattened towards the first molars and retromolar pads.

This case study was to report the possible increase in the denture retention and psychological relief using the implant-supported fixed prostheses in a completely edentulous patient. The implants were placed in the anterior portion of the mandible in a patient who had completely edentulous state following the extraction of residual abutment teeth, and consequently a distal extension removable partial denture was fabricated. The patient's adaptation and satisfaction to the new prosthesis was monitored and confirmed in terms of masticatory function and esthetics, by restoring the oral condition similar to initial status before the residual teeth extraction. After 6 months, radiographic examination confirmed that both the abutment teeth and the implants were stable and well maintained. Considering the relatively short clinical follow-up period, however, continuous long-term monitoring was required.

Many attempts for the compfrt, esthetics and improvement of Masticatory function of the patients with removable prosthesis have been made for several decades. The search for the ideal denture occlusion has been going on in an effort to find the tooth form which provides maximum denture stability and masticatory efficiency without damaging the health of the underlying bone. For the purpose, the basic concept of lingualized occlusion were suggested by payne(1941) and pound(1973) discussed a similar occlusal concept and used term " lingualized occlusion." The purpose of this literature study is to clarify and amplify a method to achieve bilateral balanced occlusion with the occlusal arrangement termed " lingualized occlusion." Lingualized occlusion can be achieved by use of anatomic teeth for the mandibular denture. Lingualized occlusion can be used in most denture combination. It is particulary helpful when the patient places high priority on esthetics but a nonanatomic occlusal scheme is indicated by oral conditions such a severe alveolar resorption, a class II jaw relationship or displaceable supporting tissue. Advantages of lingualized occlusion are summarized as follows : 1) Most of the advantages attributed to both the anatomic and nonanatomic forms are retained. 2) Cusp form is more natural in appearance compare to nonanatomic tooth form. 3) Good pnetration of the food bolus is possible. 4) Bilateral mechanical balanced occlusion is readily obtained for a region around arotric relation. 5) Bertical forces are centralized on the mandibular teeth. Lingualized occlusion provides a useful combination of several occlusal concept. Many. advantages of anatomic and nonanatomic occlusions are accomplished but the lingualized occlusal concept is not is not a panacea, and all other procedures still must be carefully excuted.

고령인구의 수가 증가함에 따라 무치악 환자의 비율이 높아지고 있으며, 전통적인 방식의 의치의 수요 또한 증가할 것으로 분석된다. 전통적인 방식의 의치에서 만족 할 만한 의치를 제작하기 위해서는 상,하악 치조제의 관계 및 형태에 맞춰 치아를 배열하는 것이 중요하다. 본 증례는 79세 여자 환자로 환자의 심리 및 경제적인 이유로 급여 의치 제작을 희망하였다. 치조골이 심하게 위축된 상태로 치조제 간의 위치관계에 대한 정확한 평가를 위해 교합기에 부착한 주모형을 스캔하여 치과용 CAD 소프트웨어를 활용하였고, 프로그램 상에서 치조제 관계를 확인하여 치조정간선 법칙에 따라 구치부는 교차교합 형태로 배열하였다. 완성 후 정기적인 검사 및 치료 결과 의치는 적절한 안정과 유지를 보였으며 환자 역시 높은 만족감을 표현하였다. 본 증례에서는 완전 무치악 환자에서 치조제 간의 측방적 관계를 정확하게 분석하기 위해 디지털 기술을 활용하여 진단 및 치료의 효율성을 높일 수 있었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

Background: For the elderly, masticatory function is one of the most important oral functions and the masticatory ability is related to the wearing of dentures. Many older people wear dentures for their masticatory function, but a significant number of older people who use dentures have found that they feel uncomfortable when performing their daily activities, such as performing masticating functions or talking. Objects: The purpose of this study is to investigate how the forward head posture (FHP), respiratory function and thickness of masseter (MS), and sternocleidomastoid (SCM) are affected by the presence or absence of dentures in the elderly, and what kind of correlation there is between these variables. Methods: The study was conducted on 11 patients in the normal group and 13 in the denture group. The participant's cognitive ability was evaluated using Mini-Mental State Examination Korean (MMSE-K), and the FHP was evaluated by measuring the craniovertebral angle (CVA). The thickness of the MS and SCM muscles were measured using ultrasound, and respiration was measured with a spirometry. As for the statistical method, the correlation of each variable was investigated using Spearman's correlation coefficient. Results: In the normal group, there was a significant correlation between forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (p < 0.001), and in the denture group, FVC and FEV1 (p < 0.001), maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) (p < 0.001), CVA and Lt. MS (p = 0.012). Conclusion: CVA and Lt. MS of the denture group have a high negative correlation, it is related that the thickness of MS may be thick when the elderly wearing dentures are FHP.

Correct occlusal relationships are part of the successful prosthetic treatment for edentulous patients. Fabrication of complete dentures comprises of clinical and laboratory procedures that should be executed accurately for achieving success with fabricated dentures. Errors occurring during the clinical and laboratory procedures of a denture may subsequently lead to the occlusal errors in the final prosthesis. These occlusal errors can be corrected in two ways: i) in patient's mouth ii) by recording new centric relation and remounting dentures on an articulator. The latter method is more feasible because the mobility of denture base on the mucosa in oral cavity does not permit the identification of premature contacts in centric occlusion and tooth guided eccentric excursions. This article describes a modest and effective clinical chair-side remount procedure using customized mounting platforms.
