The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the at of denture bases processed by injection pressing technic using laser scanner of reverse engineering technic. The auther duplicated 20 maxillary edentulous models and 20 mandibular edentulous models, which were scanned on HYSCAN 45C 3D BCANNER(Hymarc Co., Canada). The scanned data were stored in the personal computer using SURFACER (Imageware Co. U.S.A.) software program. After 40 dentures were cured by PERform Inkovac system, SR-Ivocap system, Palajet system, and Sulfon system, they were stored in water at room temperature fir 24 hours. The dentures were scanned on HYSCAN 45C 3D SCANNER(Hymarc Co., Canada). The scanned data were stored in the personal computer using SURFACER (Imageware Co., U.S.A.) software program. By overlapping two images using the same program, the fit between two surfaces was scaled by positive and negative errors. The obtained results were as follows 1. In the upper denture, most of the positive errors occurred on the lingual side of anterior alveolar ridge and the negative errors were on the flange of denture bases. 2. In the lower denture, most of the positive errors occurred on the inner side of lingual flange and the negative errors were on the border of anterior labial flange areas, 3. There were no statistical differences among the positive errors of the four types of injection denture curing methods and also no statistical differences between negative errors except only in negative maximum errors. 4. In PERform system and SR-Ivocap system, they have the tendency of inaccurate at of lower denture bases comparing to that of upper denture bases. 5. The negative error scales were greater than the positive error scales in all types of injection denture curing methods.

치조제가 심하게 흡수된 하악의 정확한 해부학적 구조를 채득하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 이 경우 보다 정확한 인상을 채득하기 위하여 수정모형 제작법을 통한 기능 인상 채득이 추천된다. 이를 위해서는 양측에 2개의 임플란트 크라운을 이용하여 적절한 고정원을 얻을 필요가 있다. 이를 통해 임플란트 피개의치에서는 불가능하였던 수정모형 제작법을 시행할 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 하악의 치조제가 심하게 흡수된 80세 여환을 하악 양측 견치 부위의 임플란트 크라운을 지대치로 한 가철성 국소의치를 이용하여 수복하였다. 가철성 국소의치의 금속구조물을 이용하여 개인 트레이를 제작하고 수정모형 제작을 위한 이차 인상을 채득하였다. 환자는 앞선 2회의 피개의치 실패 후 제작된 최종 보철물에 만족하였다. 치료 초기에 행해진 피개의치 치료에서는 부정확한 인상법에 따른 부적절한 보철물로 인해 술자와 환자 모두 만족하지 못했지만, 2개의 임플란트를 적절한 고정원으로 이용함으로써 성공적인 수복이 가능하였다.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to classify the shapes of retromolar pads and assess their morphometric differences using a 3D model. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Two hundred fully edentulous or Kennedy Class I partially edentulous patients (400 retromolar pads) were enrolled. Scan data of the definitive mandibular casts produced through functional impressions were obtained using a 3D laser scanner. Seven parameters (transverse diameter, longitudinal diameter, transverse-contour length, longitudinal-contour length, longitudinal/transverse diameter ratio, longitudinal/transverse-contour length ratio, and angle of the retromolar pad line to the residual alveolar ridge line) were measured using image analysis software. Subsequently, the pads were classified according to the shape. Statistical analyses were performed using 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS. Classifying the retromolar pads into three shapes led to high intra-examiner reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.933). The pear shape was the most common (56.5%), followed by oval/round (27.7%) and triangular (15.8%) shapes. There were no significant differences between the left and right sides according to the shape and no significant differences in any parameter according to age. The transverse diameter and longitudinal/transverse diameter ratio differed between sexes (P < .05). The triangular shape had a significantly different transverse diameter, transverse-contour length, longitudinal/transverse diameter ratio, and longitudinal/transverse-contour length ratio compared with the pear and oval/round shapes (P < .05). CONCLUSION. From a clinical reliability standpoint, classifying retromolar pads into three shapes (oval/round, pear-shaped, and triangular) is effective. The differences in the sizes among the shapes were attributed to the transverse measurement values.

Purpose : To assess the relationship between the direction of the indicating rod of the radiographic stent for ideal prosthetic design and the actual possible path of implant fixture placement when residual ridge resorption is considered. Materials and Methods: The study materials consisted of 326 implant sites (male 214 cases and female 112 cases) from a total of 106 patients (male 65 patients and female 41 patients) who desired implant prostheses. Computed tomography of patients were taken and reformatted using ToothPix/sup (R)/ software. Bony defects, bony sclerosis, the change of the direction of indicating rod, and root proximity of the adjacent teeth were examined on the CT-derived images. Results: The rate of the irregular crestal cortex was relatively high on premolar and molar area of maxilla. Mandibular molar area showed relatively high rate of focal sclerosis on the area of implant fixture insertion. The position of the indicating rods were relatively acceptable on the molar areas of both jaws. However, the position of the indicating rods should be shifted to buccal side with lingual rotation of the apical end on maxillary anterior teeth and premolar area. Conclusion: Clinically determined rod direction and position of the indicating rod for implant placement was not always acceptable for insertion according to the reformatted CT images. The pre-operative treatment plan for implant should be determined carefully, considering the state of the alveolar bone using the reformatted CT images.

Electrical resistance strain gauges, brittle-coatings, Moir'e fringe analysis, photoelasticity methods, etc, have been employed in the study of stress analysis and three-dimensional photoelasticity method used in this experiment. The author fabricated a total of 24 samples of maxillary and mandibular edentulous ridges with normal and sharp shapes using epoxy resin, one of the photoelastic materials. In addition, complete denture made from artificial resin teeth in other twoo sizes, large and medium size, were affixed to the specimens and attached to an articulator. The following results were attained by cutting 9 slice specimens into 6mm thick portions, in accordance with the three dimensional photoelastic stress freezing method, to analyze stress distribution status under specific static loading in the central, lateral and protrusive occlusions of the shape of edentulous ridge. 1. In the case of central occlusion, when complete resin artificial teeth in large and medium sizes were used on normal and sharp alveolar ridges, high stress distribution was broadly shown in the labio-buccal sides, and low and concentrated in the lingual sides, in all cases. Generally, the highest stresses were shown at the top of the alveolus, or at 2mm below the top of the alveolus, particularly in the specimen 2, 3, and stresses were more or less the same in the symmetrical right and left sides. 2. In the case of lateral occlusion, when the same load was applied, high stresses were shown broadly at the working sides in both the labio-buccal and lingual sides, and low and concentrated at the balanced sides. The highest stresses were shown in the top of the alveolus on the working sides in specimen 2 portion, and the lowest stresses at the balanced sides in specimen 6, slightly higher stresses were shown at retromolar parts in the balanced sides. 3. In the case of protrusive occlusion, high stresses were broadly shown at the labio-buccal sides, and slightly higher stresses at the top 2, 4, and 6mm parts of the alveolus with concentration. The highest stresses were shown in specimen No. 5 and the lowes stresses in specimen 1, 9 and stresses were more of less the same at the symmetrical right and left sides.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survival and success rates of Korean Osstem implants US II Plus, GS II following loading period. Materials and Methods: Dental records were obtained in total 201 patients who were treated with Korean Osstem implants US II Plus, GS II on both maxillary and mandibular anterior and posterior areas in six different clinics for 2 years from January 2007 to December 2008. Total 430 implants were evaluated clinically and radiographically using predefined success criteria prospectively and following results were obtained. Result: US II Plus, GS II implants showed high survival rates of more than 99% and high success rates more than 90% independent of loading period. As a result of cross analysis to evaluate clinical significance between implant loading period and success rate, the P-value of US II Plus was 0.10 (P>0.05), and the P-value of GS II was 0.17 (P>0.05), which showed no statistical significance. Bone quality, smoking, and edentulous state are factors that can affect the survival and success rates following differently loaded implants, but did not significantly affect in this study. Conclusion: These results suggest that selection of loading period of Korean Osstem implants US II Plus, GS II would be done carefully considering implant install area, the quality alveolar bone, the state of edentulous ridge and experience of operator, though they showed clinically good results on both maxillary and mandibular anterior and posterior areas.

임플란트 보조 국소의치의 치료는 오래전부터 여러 형태로 시도되어 왔으며, 이 중 임플란트 서베이드 크라운 국소의치의 경우 점차 예지성을 얻고 있으며, 특히 경제적, 해부학적으로 불리한 부분 무치악 환자에게 한 가지 치료 방법이 될 수 있다. 이때 임플란트의 식립 위치는 치료 목적에 따라 전방 식립과 후방 식립으로 분류될 수 있는데, 이는 환자의 치조제, 잔존치 예후, 대합치 등 여러 상황을 고려하여 결정되어야 한다. 본 증례에서는 하악 Kennedy 1급 부분 무치악 환자에게 두 개의 임플란트 서베이드 크라운을 활용한 하악 임플란트 보조 국소의치를 통해 수복하였다. 본 환자에게 후방 식립이 어렵다는 점과 잔존치의 예후를 고려하여 임플란트를 잔존치에 근접한 부위에 두 개를 식립하는 것이 계획되었으며, 가이드 수술을 통해 계획한 위치, 각도, 깊이에 식립되었다. 고정성 보철물 제작 과정은 상악 무치악 치아 배열 과정과 병행하여 예지성을 높였고, 국소의치를 제작 시에는 임플란트가 최후방 지대치로서 과도한 하중이 가하지 않도록 기능 운동을 허용하는 형태로 디자인되고, 이차 인상 과정을 거쳐 제작되었다. 각 치료 과정을 계획한대로 진행하여 환자와 술자 모두 심미적, 기능적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.
