PURPOSE. This study aims to assess and predict lifespan of dental prostheses using newly developed Korean Association of Prosthodontics (KAP) criteria through a large-scale, multi-institutional survey. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Survey was conducted including 16 institutions. Cox proportional hazards model and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to find out relevant factors and predict life expectancy. RESULTS. 1,703 fixed and 815 removable prostheses data were collected and evaluated. Statistically significant factors in fixed prosthesis failure were plaque index and material type, with a median survival of 10 to 18 years and 14 to 20 years each. In removable prosthesis, factors were national health insurance coverage, antagonist type, and prosthesis type (complete or partial denture), with median survival of 10 to 13 years, 11 to 14 years, and 10 to 15 years each. For still-usable prostheses, PCA analysis predicted an additional 3 years in fixed and 4.8 years in removable prosthesis. CONCLUSION. Life expectancy of a prosthesis differed significantly by factors mostly controllable either by dentist or a patient. Overall life expectancy was shown to be longer than previous research.

The scars and contracture around the oral-facial region may cause difficulty in prosthodontic treatment to restore esthetics and function for the patients, who suffered severe burns. This article presents a technique that uses a fixed partial denture prepared with a conventional milling technique and an attachment to support anterior cantilever removable partial denture, thereby providing a more esthetically acceptable and functional result.

The soil nailing system is becoming common as reinforcement method of slope face in soil. It has application to obtain slope stability method and scaffolding system. It has some troubles when the soil nailing system is applied to the downtown because it could be invaded someone's private area. Thus, in this paper, wedge type removable soil nailing system which can easily remove deformed bar in final excavation step is developed. Field pull-out test is performed to evaluate deformed bars removal and pullout resistance characteristics. According to this result, application of Wedge Type Removable Soil Nailing System is performed.

Particulate contamination is known to be a significant cause of failures of removable storage media. In this work, the effect of particles on the surface damage of removable hard disk media was investigated. The particles of different materials and size were introduced to the Head Disk Interface (HDI) using a particle injection system. It was round that the particles of particulate size and property serious damaged the media. This study showed that cleaning pad is effective for reducing particle contamination, except fer the particles of specific size and property. As a means to remove the particles of specific sire. the concept of using a stepped taper at the leading edge of the slider is proposed.

Statment of problem : Little in known about the importance of selection of various double crowns as retainer in determining the outcome of treatment with double crown retained removable partial denture. Purpose : To obtain information about the effects and the results of this treatment modality. Material and methods : This study describes 61 double crown retained removable partial dentures worn by 51 patients from Samsung Medical Center, Seoul a time ranging between 6 and 48 months and evaluate occlusal contacts on the denture teeth, denture movement, incidence of denture relining, denture retention, fracture of dentures and abutments, hygiene, residual ridge inflammatory changes, number of lost abutment,. interruption of denture use. Results : One tenth of all the restorations were relined. Restorations in 21 arches fractured repeatedly for various reasons . There was no apparent interrelationship between fractures and the five groups. Conclusion : Good prognoses of removable partial dentures were shown in all groups(Kennedy Classes I, II, III, combination and few remaining abutment).

The overall objective of fitting removable partial dentures at initial placement is to ensure that the patient is given the best possible start with the new prostheses. This may be achieved by checking that: (1) final inspection of the prosthesis, (2) seating of the RPD framework, (3) evaluation of denture base adaptation, (4) assessment of denture base peripheral extensions, (5) occlusal adjustment, (6) remounting the prosthesis, and (7) instructions to the patient.

Presurgical prosthetic treatment planning is critical for the success of the implant prosthesis. Inadequate treatment plan, due to insufficient discussion between prosthodontist, and surgeon, may result in poor prognosis. A 26-year-old male patient was referred for prosthodontic treatment after implant was placed in the area of teeth #17,16, 22, 25 and 27, without adequate discussion nor the treatment planning between oral surgeon and prosthodontist. It was found that the patient had two hopeless teeth, and a severely resorbed alveolar ridge. Additional tooth extraction was needed and the type of definitive prosthesis was shifted from fixed type to removable one. Proper pre-surgical treatment planning is essential for the good prognosis. Implant-supported removable prosthesis on milled bars may be a useful treatment option in patients with incorrect angled placement on severely resorbed alveolar ridge.

Digital technology has changed various aspects of the clinical dentistry. The intraoral scanner and Computer-aided design / Computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology are widely used in fabricating fixed prostheses and in implant surgery. These technologies greatly improved the efficiency of clinical and laboratory procedures. With all newly introduced software, devices, and clinical studies, digital technology has been actively applied in removable prostheses. It is now possible to fabricate the removable prostheses more quickly and easily through subtractive and additive manufacturing. Various clinical and laboratory protocols were introduced by many manufacturers. The purpose of this review is to summarize the literature on digital technology for fabricating complete denture with current status and future perspectives.

As the prevalence of removable device, critical intelligences are often stored in the removable device. For that reason, in seizure and search, the removable device became a important evidence of while it could be has a salient key for prove a crime. When we acquired a removable device for proof, we image it by a imaging device or software with a write protection. However, these are high-priced exclusive equipments and sometimes it could be out of order. In addition, we found that some secure USB and inbuilt vaccine USB are failed to connect to the imaging device. Therefore, in this paper, we provide a suitable digital evidence collection procedure for real.
