The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate the differences in masticatory performance, muscle activity, and patterns of occlusal contact between persons with natural dentition and removable partial denture wearers. Twenty healthy adult subjects with more than 28 teeth and thirteen removable partial denture wearers that classified Kennedy classification I was selected. The degree of pulverized rice and peanut was measured and analyzed by means of sieving method to compare the masticatory performance. For the muscle activity, EMG was recorded in selected muscles(Temporalis and masseter muscle) during mastication and resting state. The occlusal record in maximal intercuspation was taken with a silicone occlusal bite registration material for analysis of the patterns of occlusal contact. The obtained results were as follows: 1. When chewed peanuts, masticatory performance ratio at 10-sieve size was 81.31% in natural dentition group. In removable partial denture wearer, 27.01% without RPD and 69.09% with RPD. When chewed rice, 42.04%, 11.87%, and 21.58%, respectively. The differences of masticatory performance ratio between groups were statistically significant at the 0.05 level. 2. The mean EMG value in resting state was $1.06{\mu}V$ on temporal muscle, $0.98{\mu}V$ on masseter muscle in natural dentition group. In removable partial denture wearers, $1.13{\mu}V$ on temporal muscle, $1.05{\mu}V$ on masseter muscle without RPD and $1.11{\mu}V$ on temporal muscle, $1.04{\mu}V$ on masseter muscle with RPD. 3. The mean EMG value during mastication was $45.64{\mu}V$ in natural dentition group, and in removable partial denture wearers, $22.06{\mu}V$ without RPD and $31.01{\mu}V$ with RPD when chewed peanuts. When chewed rice, $45.24{\mu}V,\;25.53{\mu}V\;and\;32.14{\mu}V$, respectively. The differences of mean masticatory EMG value between groups were statistically significant at the 0.05 level. 4. The number of posterior occlusal contact point was 20.15 in natural dentition group and 11.92 in removable partial denture wearers. The area of perforated surface was $16.50mm^2$ in natural dentition group and $6.06mm^2$ in removable partial denture wearers. The area of contact surface was $78.93mm^2,\;51.52mm^2$, respectively. 5. The area of contact surface was effective to masticatory performance ratio in natural dentition group and removable partial denture wearers (p<0.05). From these results, it is concluded that in partially edentulous patient, masticatory efficiency can be improved by removable partial denture wearing, and for efficient mastication, tight occlusal contact surface shoud be maintained by maximum support that is provided from mucosa.

This article reviews the topic of how to identify and develop a removable partial denture (RPD) path of placement, and provides a literature review of the concept of the RPD path of placement, also known as the path of insertion. An optimal RPD path of placement, guided by mutually parallel guide planes, ensures that the RPD flanges fit intimately over edentulous ridge structures and that the framework fits intimately with guide plane surfaces, which prevents food collecting empty spaces between the intaglio surface of the framework and intraoral surfaces, and ensures that RPD clasps engage adequate numbers of tooth undercuts to ensure RPD retention. The article covers topics such as the causes of obstructions to RPD intra-oral seating, the causes of food collecting empty spaces that may exist around an RPD, and how to identify if a guide plane is parallel with the projected RPD path of placement. The article presents a method of using a surgical operating microscope, or high magnification (6-8x or greater) binocular surgical loupes telescopes, combined with co-axial illumination, to identify a preliminary path of placement for an arch. This preliminary path of placement concept may help to guide a dentist or a dental laboratory technician when surveying a master cast of the arch to develop an RPD path of placement, or in verifying that intra-oral contouring has aligned teeth surfaces optimally with the RPD path of placement. In dentistry, a well-fitting RPD reduces long-term periodontal or structural damage to abutment teeth.

가철성 국소의치를 사용하는 환자의 잔존 치아가 우식, 마모, 부식, 파절 등의 이유로 보철 수복이 필요한 경우가 있다. 가철성 국소의치의 구조물과 접촉하는 부분이 많은 지대치의 보철 수복이 필요한 경우, 서베이드 크라운을 제작 후 가철성 국소의치를 새로 제작하는 것이 통상적인 방법이다. 이럴 경우, 환자가 적응하기까지 오랜 시간이 걸리고, 시간적, 경제적 비용이 발생한다. 한편, 손상된 치아 외에 구강 내 다른 부분에서 가철성 국소의치의 지지, 유지 및 안정을 일부분 제공하는 경우 기존 국소의치의 사용은 임상적으로 양호하다. 이 때 기존 국소의치를 유지하면서 해당 치아를 보철 수복한다면, 환자는 불편과 비용을 줄이면서 기존 가철성 국소의치를 사용할 수 있다. 이처럼 국소의치에 맞추어 보철을 제작하는 retrofit crown 제작과정에서 Computer Aided Design-Computer Aided Manufacturing(CAD-CAM)의 발전과 지르코니아의 물리적 성질이 개선되면서 디지털 방식이 적용되고 있다. 본 증례는 하악에서 가철성 국소의치를 사용하는 환자의 지대치가 심하게 마모되어 국소의치에 맞추어 지르코니아 크라운을 제작한 케이스로, 환자와 술자 모두 만족하는 결과를 얻었기에 본 증례를 보고하는 바이다.

부분 무치악 환자에게 소수의 임플란트를 전략적인 위치에 식립하여 추가적인 유지와 지지를 얻는 임플란트 보조 국소의치(Implant-assisted removable partial denture, IARPD)를 제작할 수 있다. 최근 이러한 임플란트 보조 국소의치로 치료한 여러 증례와 임상가이드라인을 보면 후방 무치악 부위에 임플란트를 식립하는 것이 추천된다. 그러나 실제 임상에서는 구치부의 심한 치조골 흡수나 해부학적 이유로 외과적 수술(상악동거상술, 골 이식술 등)이 부가적으로 필요한 경우가 많다. 이에 대해 후방의 무치악 부위는 가철성 국소의치로 수복하되, 소수의 치아가 잔존하는 전방 무치악 부위는 임플란트 고정성 보철물로 수복하여 지대주로 활용하는 치료방법이 대안으로 제시될 수 있다. 본 증례는 상악 구치부 치아의 상실과 잔존치열에 중등도 이상의 마모를 보이는 환자에 대한 증례로 상악 전방부에 3개의 임플란트를 식립하고 잔존하는 상악 전치부 자연치와 더불어 각각 써베이드 고정성 보철물을 제작하였으며 상악 후방연장 국소의치를 제작하였다. 그와 함께 손상된 하악 자연치는 고정성 보철물로 전악수복하였다. 이로써 감소된 수직고경 및 붕괴된 교합평면을 회복하여 기능적, 심미적으로 향상되었으며 지속적인 경과관찰 중이다. 본 증례를 통해 전방부 임플란트 써베이드 고정성 보철물과 후방연장 국소의치에 의한 보철치료 증례의 3년 경과관찰 결과를 보고하고자 한다.

Treatment with removable partial denture is effective for partially edentulous patients who are unable to obtain sufficient retention and stability for functional and esthetic restoration. There are several cases reporting the improvement of retention and stability of the partial denture using a small number of implants. However, there are limited studies on the implant-assisted removable partial denture using a small number of remaining teeth and the bar locator system. The bar locator system has an advantage in that it could compensate the angle of insertion of removable prosthesis on implant with inconsistent placement angle due to anatomical constraints compared to when using the locator only. This case report describes the patient with $Parkinson^{\circ}$Øs disease who was treated with the Locator bar system using two previously placed implants and two remaining teeth on maxilla. No additional implants could be placed because of the medical and economic condition of the patients, and the angle of one of two implants could not be matched with the direction of the removable partial denture insertion. Considering the angle of the implants, the patient was treated with implant-assisted RPD using the Locator bar system and had satisfactory results in the aspect of esthetics, masticatory function, and oral hygiene maintenance.
