Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of anchorage systems and palatal coverage of denture base on load transfer in maxillary implant-supported overdenture. Material and methods: Maxillary implant -supported overdentures in which 4 implants were placed in the anterior region of edentulous maxilla were fabricated, and stress distribution patterns in implant supporting bone in the case of unilateral vertical loading on maxillary right first molar were compared with each other depending on various types of anchorage system and palatal coverage extent of denture base using three-dimensional photoelastic stress analysis. Two photoelastic overdenture models were fabricated in each anchorage system to compare with the palatal coverage extent of denture base, as a result we got eight models : Hader bar using clips(type 1), cantilevered Hader bar using clips(type 2), Hader bar using clip and ERA attachments(type 3), cantilevered milled-bar using swivel-latchs and frictional pins(type 4). Result: 1. In all experimental models, the highest stress was concentrated on the most distal implant supporting bone on loaded side. 2. In every experimental models with or without palatal coverage of denture base, maximum fringe orders on the distal ipsilateral implant supporting bone in an ascending order is as follows; type 3, type 1, type 4, and type 2. 3. Each implants showed compressive stresses in all experimental models with palatal coverage of denture base, but in the case of those without palatal coverage of denture base, tensile stresses were observed in the distal contralateral implant supporting bone. 4. In all anchorage system without palatal coverage of denture base, higher stresses were concentrated on the most distal implant supporting bone on loaded side. 5. The type of anchorage system affected in load transfer more than palatal coverage extent of the denture base. Conclusion: To the results mentioned above, in the case of patients with unfavorable biomechanical conditions such as not sufficient number of supporting implants, short length of the implant, and poor bone quality, selecting a resilient type attachment or minimizing the distal cantilevered bar is considered to be an appropriate method to prevent overloading on implants by reducing cantilever effect and gaining more support from the distal residual ridge.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of anchorage systems and palatal coverage of denture base on load transfer in maxillary implant-retained overdenture. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Maxillary implant-retained overdentures with 4 implants placed in the anterior region of edentulous maxilla were converted into a 3-D numerical model, and stress distribution patterns in implant supporting bone in the case of unilateral vertical loading on maxillary right first molar were compared with each other depending on various types of anchorage system and palatal coverage extent of denture base using three-dimensional finite element analysis. RESULTS. In all experimental models, the highest stress was concentrated on the most distal implant and implant supporting bone on loaded side. The stress at the most distal implant-supporting bone was concentrated on the cortical bone. In all anchorage system without palatal coverage of denture base, higher stresses were concentrated on the most distal implant and implant supporting bone on loaded side. CONCLUSION. It could be suggested that when making maxillary implant retained overdenture, using Hader bar instead of milled bar and full palatal coverage rather than partial palatal coverage are more beneficial in distributing the stress that is applied on implant supporting bone.

부분 무치악 환자의 구강회복을 위해서는 임플란트를 이용한 치료 방법이 널리 활용되고 있다. 임플란트를 이용한 치료방법은 크게 고정성 임플란트 보철물과 가철성 임플란트 보철물로 나뉠 수 있으며, 골 흡수가 심한 환자의 경우 심미적이고 경제적인 이점을 갖는 가철성 임플란트 보철물이 치료 옵션으로 활용될 수 있다. 특히 소수의 임플란트에 Milled-bar와 부가적인 유지장치를 이용한 보철물 제작 시, 임플란트 고정체 간의 연결고정 효과 및 의치의 유지력과 안정성이 증가할 수 있다. 또한 의치상을 통한 구순 지지를 통해 심미적인 보철물 제작이 가능하다. 본 증례의 환자는 상악골의 심한 골 흡수를 동반한 소수의 잔존치를 갖는 부분 무치악 환자로 전치부 및 소구치부위에 임플란트를 3개 식립 후 캐드캠을 이용하여 제작된 Milled-bar와 ADD-TOC 어태치먼트를 이용한 임플란트 부분 피개의치로 치료하였다. 그 결과 어태치먼트를 이용한 clasp 제거 및 의치상을 이용한 구순 지지를 통해 심미성을 높였으며, Milled-bar를 통한 교합력 지지와 의치 안정성을 확보하였다. 또한 환자의 이물감 해소를 위해 구개부 피개량을 줄인 금속 구조물의 피개의치를 제작하였으며, 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.
