Purpose: Current trend in implant dentistry is changing from external connection to internal connection. To evaluate the splinting of external and internal connection implant on screw loosening, 2-units prosthesis was fabricated with BioPlant $System^(R)$ of external connection type and Lifecore STAGE-1 Single Stage Implant $System^(R)$ of internal connection type. Material and Method: Experimental group is classified into three groups. 1) $G_1-EE$: 2-units prosthesis was fabricated with two Bioplant $System^(R)$ of external connection type. 2) $G_1-EI$: 2-units prosthesis was fabricated with one BioPlant $System^(R)$ of external connection type and one Lifecore STAGE-1 Single Stage Implant $System^(R)$ of internal connection type. 3) $G_1-II$: 2-units prosthesis was fabricated with two Lifecore STAGE-1 Single Stage Implant $System^(R)$ of internal connection type. In fabricating 2-units prosthesis, two hexed abutments are recommended when two implants are installed parallel, otherwise one hexed abutment is used on major occlusal force area and one nonhexed abutment is used on the other area. Since it is rare to find two implants being parallel, it is hard to fabricate prosthesis with passive adaptation using two hexed abutments. It is much more difficult to acquire passive adaptation when using hex abutment compared to nonhex abutment. To evaluate the influence of hexed and nonhexed abutment on screw loosening, 2-units prosthesis was fabricated with hexed and nonhexed abutment. Experimental group is classified into three groups. 1) $G_2-HH$: 2-units prosthesis was fabricated with two hexed abutments. 2) $G_2-HN$: 2-units prosthesis was fabricated with one hexed abutment and one nonhexed abutment. 3) $G_2-NN$: 2-units prosthesis was fabricated with two nonhexed abutments. Result: The results of comparing the detorque value after loading on a each prosthesis periodically are as follows. 1. In splinting group of external and internal connection implant, $G_1-II$ group demonstrated the biggest detorque value, followed by $G_1-EI$ group and $G_1-EE$ group. 2. There is no notable significance between external connection implant of $G_1-EI$ group and $G_1-EE$ group and also no significance between internal connection implant of $G_1-EI$ group and $G_1-II$ group. 3. $G_2-HH$ group showed higher detorque value than $G_2-HN\;and\;G_2-NN$ group. From the results, we can concluded that using both external connection and internal connection implant together is clinically acceptable and in order to acquire a good passive adaptation in fabricating 2-units implant prosthesis we can use two nonhexed abutments.

This case study is aimed at introducing a full-mouth rehabilitation of a patient with severe tooth wear using fixed prosthesis. This is a case report of a patient with severe wear dentition with changing vertical dimension. In line with using prosthetic treatment, patient adaptation was verified with provisional restorations followed by diagnostic wax-up. Function, esthetics, and occlusal stability were verified during a 4-week follow up period. Prosthodontic reconstruction based on systemic analysis, diagnosis, and treatment plan led to satisfactory results after delivery of definitive prosthesis. Prosthetic treatment of severe wear dentition was functionally and esthetically successful. Dentists and dental technicians would be able to develop better treatment approaches using fixed dental prosthesis.

Fabricating a surveyed prosthesis beneath an existing partial removable dental prosthesis (PRDP) is a challenging and time-consuming procedure. The computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology was applied to fabricate a retrofitted, surveyed zirconia prosthesis to an existing PRDP. CAD/CAM technology enabled precise and easy replication of the contour of the planned surveyed crown on the existing abutment tooth. This technology ensured excellent adaptation and fit of newly fabricated crown to the existing PRDP with minimal adjustments. In this case report, a seventy-year-old male patient presented with fractured existing surveyed crown. Because the existing PRDP was serviceable, new crown was fabricated to the existing PRDP.

In this study, a transfemoral prosthesis system of which both stance phase and swing phase are controllable has been developed for the recovery of the biomechanical function of the amputated leg. It consists of a 5 bar link mechanism, a hydraulic-rubber knee damper for stance phase control and a pneumatic cylinder controlled via a microprocessor for stance phase control. The mechanical characteristics of the knee damper which absorbs the impact energy generated at the heel contact were investigated. The characteristics of the pneumatic cylinder essential for the speed adaptation of the prosthesis during swing phase were also studied for its mechanical characteristics. The prosthesis was subject to the clinical tests, and the gait characteristics obtained were very close to those of normal subjects. The stance and swing controlled prosthesis that were developed in this study showed good stability during the stance phase and showed good controllability during the swing phase.

Purpose: The objectives of this study was to evaluate clinical adaptation of dental prostheses printed by 3 dimensional(3D) printing technology. Methods: Ten study models were prepared. Ten specimens of experimental group were printed by 3D printing(3DP group). As a control group, 10 specimens were fabricated by casting method on the same models. Marginal gaps of all specimens were measured to evaluate clinical adaptation. Marginal adaptations were measured using silicone replica technique and measured at 8 sites per specimen. Wilcoxon's signed-ranks test was used for statistical analysis(${\alpha}=0.05$). Results: Means of marginal adaptations were $95.1{\mu}m$ for 3DP group and $75.9{\mu}m$ for CAST group(p < 0.000). Conclusion : However, the mean of the 3DP group was within the clinical tolerance suggested by the previous researchers. Based on this, dental prosthesis fabricated by 3D printing technology is considered to be clinically acceptable.

Recent studies on ankle-foot prostheses used for transtibial amputees have focused on the adaptation of the ankle angle of the prosthesis according to ground conditions. For adaptation to various ground conditions (e.g., incline, decline, and step conditions), ankle-foot prostheses should first recognize the ground conditions as well as the current human motion pattern. For this purpose, the ground reaction forces and orientation angle of the tibia provide fundamental information. The measurement of the orientation angle, however, creates a challenge in practice. Although various sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, can be utilized to measure the orientation angles of the prosthesis, none of these sensors can be solely used due to their intrinsic drawbacks. In this paper, a time-varying complementary filtering (TVCF) method is proposed to incorporate the measurements from an accelerometer and a gyroscope to obtain a precise orientation angle. The cut-off frequency of TVCF is adaptively determined according to the human gait phase detected by a fuzzy logic algorithm. The performance of the proposed method is verified through experiments.

구강의 교합 재건의 관점에서 광범위한 치아 마모의 치료는 보철학적인 접근이 필요하다. 생리적인 치아의 마모는 정상적인 과정으로 간주되어 일반적으로 치료가 필요하지 않으나 과도한 치아의 마모는 부적절하고 불안정한 교합상태, 심미성의 감소, 저작 기능의 저하 등의 문제를 발생시켜 보철적인 수복을 필요로 한다. 마모된 치아의 전악 구강 회복 시 수직 교합 고경의 변화는 정확한 진단 및 분석을 통하여 이루어져야 하고 변화된 수직 교합 고경에 대한 환자의 적응 여부를 일정기간 평가하여야 한다. 본 증례는 60세 남성 환자로 전체적인 치아의 심한 마모로 인해 저작 기능과 심미성의 감소를 주소로 내원하였으며 수직 교합 고경의 증가를 동반한 치아 지지 고정성 보철물로 전악 구강 수복을 시행하였다. 증가된 수직 교합 고경의 적응 여부를 평가하고 안정된 하악위를 유도하기 위해 교합안정장치를 사용하였고, 임시 보철물을 사용하여 증가된 수직 교합 고경과 교합상태에 대한 적응을 평가하였다. 이후 단일구조 지르코니아 보철물을 제작하여 최종 접착하였고, 만족스러운 기능의 회복과 심미성을 보였기에 보고하는 바이다.

심한 치아 마모는 치질의 손상, 교합면의 부조화, 기능적, 심미적 문제들을 야기할 수 있다. 치아의 마모로 인해 나타나는 수직 고경의 감소는 악골의 보상성 성장과 치아의 맹출로 어느 정도 상쇄될 수 있지만 심미적 보철물을 제작하는 데 필요한 공간과 보철물의 유지 등을 얻기 위해서는 수직 고경의 거상이 필요할 수 있다. 본 증례의 환자는 44세 남자 환자로 다수 치아에 마모를 가지고 있고 심미적인 치아를 원한다는 주소로 본원에 내원하였다. 수복을 위한 악간 공간이 부족하여 진단 왁스업을 토대로 전치부 기준 3 mm의 수직고경 거상을 결정하고, 가철성 교합 안정 장치와 임시수복물을 적정 기간 사용하여 환자의 적응도를 평가하였다. 적절한 적응을 확인한 후 단일 구조 지르코니아를 이용한 고정성 보철물로 전악 수복하였고 비기능적 습관으로부터 보철물과 주위 조직을 보호하기 위해 연질의 교합안정장치를 장착하게 하였다. 이상과 같은 치료 과정을 통해 수직 고경 거상을 동반한 보철 수복을 실시하였고 적절한 심미적, 기능적 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.
