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.

Purpose: Errors in orthognathic model surgery occur during the planning, measuring and/or moving of the models. However, there has been little effort to find ways to reduce these errors. In this study, we introduce a new orthognathic model surgery technique (Yonsei method) which adopts the tooth point as the reference and the occlusal index as a moving vehicle for the model. Methods: The technique consists mainly of: 1) measuring the three-dimensional lengths of model points, 2) fabricating and moving the occlusal index and 3) verifying the movement. Then we compared the accuracy of the Yonsei method to conventional methods, with special reference made to influencing factors. Results: Errors for the Yonsei method with the occlusal index were reduced to the range of 0.61~1.04 mm in three-dimension, providing a more accurate model surgery technique than conventional methods which have errors ranging from 0.77~3.11 mm. Conclusion: It provided us a more accurate model surgery technique based on the reference points onto the teeth and the use of occlusal index.

The common errors in preoperative treatment plan for the orthognathic surgery can be occurred during cast impression, cast mounting procedure with face-bow transfer, surgical stent fabrication, and so on. One of the most common errors exists during mounting process of the model on the articulator. Accurate mounting of dental casts to articulator should be achieved by transferring the 3-dimensional spatial relationship of the maxillary arch to an articulator. A face-bow is used for transfer this relationship to articulator, usually by relating the face-bow to a plane of reference of maxillary cast. The purpose of this study is evaluation of the accuracy of face-bow transferring of maxillary model to the articulator. The maxillary casts of thirty patients for orthognathic surgery were mounted on articulator with an face-bow instrument. The relationship of occlusal plane angle to Frankfort horizontal plane relations were compared the cephalogram with the cast-mounted articulator. As a result of this study, the significant difference between the maxillary occlusal planes angle in the cephalogram and articulator were found. The results were followed, 1. The mean occlusal plane angle in cast-mounted articulator was $13.5^{\circ}\;(SD{\pm}5.4)$. 2. The mean occlusal plane angle in cephalogram was $10.4^{\circ}\;(SD{\pm}4.3)$. 3. The mean difference of occlusal plane angle between cast-mounted articulator and cephalogram was $3.3^{\circ}\;(SD{\pm}4.6)$. According to the result, we should suggest that the occlusal plane angle to Frankfort plane in cast-mounted articulator is more steeper than that of cephalogram. And then, maxillofacial surgeon should try to get a more predictable result by suggesting the proper correction method and mounting the cast accurately.

Purpose: This study assessed the accuracy of linear and angular measurements on panoramic radiographs taken at different positions in vitro. Materials and Methods: Two acrylic models were fabricated from a cast with normal occlusion. Straight and $75^{\circ}$ mesially and lingually angulated pins were placed, and standardized panoramic radiographs were taken at standard position, at an $8^{\circ}$ downward tilt of the occlusal plane compared to the standard position, at an $8^{\circ}$ upward tilt of the anterior occlusal plane, and at a $10^{\circ}$ downward tilt of the right and left sides of the model. On the radiographs, the length of the pins above (crown) and below (root) the occlusal plane, total pin length, crown-to-root ratio, and angulation of pins relative to the occlusal plane were calculated. The data were subjected to repeated measures ANOVA and LSD multiple comparisons tests. Results: Significant differences were noted between the radiographic measurements and true values in different positions on both models with linear (P<0.001) and those with angulated pins (P<0.005). No statistically significant differences were observed between the angular measurements and baselines of the natural head posture at different positions for the linear and angulated pins. Conclusion: Angular measurements on panoramic radiographs were sufficiently accurate and changes in the position of the occlusal plane equal to or less than $10^{\circ}$ had no significant effect on them. Some variations could exist in the pin positioning (head positioning), and they were tolerable while taking panoramic radiographs. Linear measurements showed the least errors in the standard position and $8^{\circ}$ upward tilt of the anterior part of the occlusal plane compared to other positions.

CAD/CAM을 이용하여 보철물을 제작할 경우 교합 접촉점의 위치, 면적, 형태를 원하는 대로 조절할 수 있으므로 보다 기능적인 교합의 부여가 가능하다. 또한 전통적인 Casting 기법을 이용한 주조금속 보철물이나, Porcelain의 축성을 통해 제작된 보철물에 비하여 제작과정 중의 오차가 감소하여 우수한 교합 정확도를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 기대되고 있다. 그리고 최근 소개되고 있는 CAD/CAM system에는 가상 교합기 기능이 추가되어 단일 수복물의 설계에서도 상악에 대한 하악의 운동을 재현함으로써 폐구 운동 뿐만 아니라 전/측방 운동시의 교합간섭을 고려할 수 있게 되었다. 그 동안 zirconia를 이용한 보철물의 변연 및 내면 적합도에 대한 연구는 많이 이루어졌으나 CAD/CAM을 이용해 설계된 zirconia crown의 교합 적합도에 대한 연구는 많이 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 본 증례에서는 총 5명의 환자에서 CAD/CAM을 이용하여 제작된 7개의 지르코니아 크라운을 대상으로, 처음 설계된 zirconia crown의 교합 접촉점과 조정과정을 거쳐 구강 내 시적 후에 제작된 모델을 스캔하여 획득된 교합 접촉점을 비교하여 보철물의 정확도를 평가하고 교합조정의 양상을 파악해 보고자 하였다. 지르코니아 크라운에서 이루어진 교합조정은 대부분 기능교두 및 사면부위에서 이루어졌으며 15 - $60{\mu}m$의 분포를 보였다. CAD/CAM을 이용하여 제작된 지르코니아 크라운에서 어느정도의 교합조정은 불가피한 과정이며 이에 따른 물성저하를 보상하기 위한 추가적인 과정이 필요할 것이다.

모든 잔존치의 발거를 계획한 환자의 경우 최종 보철 제작 전 무치악으로 지내는 기간을 최소화하기 위해 미리 임시 즉시 의치를 제작하게 된다. CAD/CAM 시스템을 이용하면 전통적 방식에서의 한계점들을 보완하여 진료실과 기공실에서의 제작 과정을 간소화 시킬 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 하지만, 환자의 악간관계에 관한 정보를 정확하게 기공실의 디지털 네트워크로 전달하는 과정에서 오차가 발생하여 교합관계가 불안정하거나 비심미적인 보철물이 제작될 빈도가 높다는 단점도 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해 간단하고 정확한 POP BOW 시스템의 교합평면 디지털 전이법을 이용하여, 상하악 전치부 잔존치 발거 후 심미적이고 기능적인 3D 프린팅 임시 즉시의치를 장착한 환자의 성공적인 증례를 보고하고자 한다.

치과 임상에서 보철 과정은 1) 치아 삭제 2) 임시 수복물 제작 3) 포스트와 코어 4) 인상채득 5) 최종 보철물 합착의 순서로 진행된다. 보철 과정의 마지막이 정확한 적합과 교합 관계를 갖는 최종 보철물을 환자의 지대치의 적합시키는 과정이다. 그런데, 이 최종 보철물은 진료실에서 만들어지는 것이 아니라, 치과 기공실에서 만들어져서 약간의 시간차를 두고 진료실로 오게 된다. 진료실에서 환자의 구강 내 정보를 기공실로 전달하는 유일한 매체는 인상체이다. 그런데 이 과정에서 수 많은 오차가 발생된다. 치과 의사와 치과 기공사는 이 오차를 줄이기 위해 원인을 파악하고 정확한 보철물 제작을 위해 노력해야 한다.

Introduction: The planning of implant surgery is an important factor for the implant prosthesis. Stereolithographic (SLA) surgical stents based on a computer simulation are quite helpful for clinicians to perform the surgery as planned. Although many clinical and technical trials have been performed for computed tomography (CT)-guided implant stents to improve the surgical procedures and prosthetic treatment, there are still many problems to solve. We developed a system of a surgical guide based on 3 dimensional (3D) CT for implant therapy and achieved satisfactory results in the terms of planning and operation. Materials and Methods: Fifteen patients were selected and 30 implant fixtures were installed. The preoperative CT data for surgical planning were prepared after obtaining informed consent. Surgical planning was performed using the simulation program, Ondemend3D In2Guide. The stents were fabricated based on the simulation data containing information of the residual bone, the location of the nerve, and the expected design of the prostheses. After surgery with these customized stents, the accuracy and reproducibility of implant surgery were evaluated based on the computer simulation. The data of postoperative CT were used to confirm this system using the image fusion technique and compare the implant fixtures between the planned and implanted. Results: The mean error was 1.18 (${\pm}0.73$) mm at the occlusal center, 1.23 (${\pm}0.67$) mm at the apical center, and the axis error between the two fixtures was $3.25^{\circ}C$ (${\pm}3.00$). These stents showed superior accuracy in maxilla cases. The lateral side error at the apical center was significantly different from the error at the occlusal center but there were no significant differences between the premolars, 1st molars and 2nd molars. Conclusion: SLA surgical stents based on a computer simulation have the satisfactory accuracy and are expected to be useful for accurate planning and surgery if some errors can be improved.
