Large oro-facial defects result from cancer treatment consequences in serious functional as well as cosmetic deformities. Acceptable cosmetic results usually can be obtained with a facial prosthesis. However, retention of a large facial prosthesis can be challenging because of its size and weight. This article describes prosthetic rehabilitation of a 57-year-old man having a right lateral mid-facial defect with intraoral-extraoral combination prosthesis. A modified technique to fabricate a hollow substructure in heat-polymerizing polymethyl-methacrylate to support silicone facial prosthesis was illustrated. The resultant facial prosthesis was structurally durable and light in weight facilitating the retention with magnets satisfactorily. This technique is advantageous as there is no need to fabricate the whole prosthesis again in case of damage of the silicone layer because the outer silicone layer can be removed and re-packed on the substructure if the gypsum-mold is preserved.

Purpose: Prosthodontics for edentulous patients is a treatment technique using implant, which has impactful results in retention and support effects. Methods: As a retention technique, SCRP (screw and cement retained implant prosthesis) has reported in many studies as a beneficial method for both patients and curers, which can reduce errors in process of making abutment and top implant. Results: Prosthesis manufacturing, as polymerization method of hardened resin teeth with thermoplastic resin, is helpful for patients with aesthetic and financial situations regarding residual ridge and interocclusal relationship, also indicates reliable results in both retention and care. Conclusion: Using SCRP technique, we notably obtained a clinical and aesthetic outcome from five implants in anterior tooth, which are half fixable and detachable implants on screw of implant abutment by the technicians at anytime.

The treatment of craniofacial anomalies has been challenging as a result of technological shortcomings that could not provide a consistent protocol to perfectly restore patient-specific anatomy. In the past, wax-up and impression-based maneuvers were implemented to achieve this clinical end. However, with the advent of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, a rapid and cost-effective workflow in prosthetic rehabilitation has taken the place of the outdated procedures. Because the use of implants is so profound in different facets of restorative dentistry, their placement for craniofacial prosthesis retention has also been widely popular and advantageous in a variety of clinical settings. This review aims to effectively describe the well-rounded and interdisciplinary practice of craniofacial prosthesis fabrication and retention by outlining fabrication, osseointegrated implant placement for prosthesis retention, a myriad of clinical examples in the craniofacial complex, and a glimpse of the future of bioengineering principles to restore bioactivity and physiology to the previously defected tissue.

Bone-anchored auricular prosthesis have been proved that was another apporach to the treatment of the defective external ear. A 19years old woman with hemifacial microsomia was treated with osseointegrated implants for the support of craniofacial prosthesis. 3 implants were placed in temporal region and craniofacial prosthesis was retained with telescopic magnet retention system. The literatures and surgical technique are reviewed and our experience is presented.

An all-on-4 restoration allows edentulous patients to use a fixed prosthesis with a minimum number of implants. These implant-supported fixed complete dentures have traditionally been fabricated as screw-retained or cement-retained prostheses. However, it is difficult to passively fit the long-span full-arch prosthesis using the screw-retained type restoration, and predictable retrievability is not obtained with the cement-retained type. This case report describes a prosthesis fabricated using a combination of the two retention types. The screwmentable method allows the implant-supported fixed complete denture to achieve a passive fit at the connection with retrievability. In addition, a framework with an optimized size was designed by using digital dental technology.

Facial prosthesis is generally considered over surgical reconstruction to restore function and appearance in patients with facial defects that resulted from cancer resection. Retention of the prosthesis is challenging due to its size and weight. Retention can be achieved by using medical grade adhesives, resilient attachments, clips and osseointegrated implants. It can also be connected to obturator by magnets. This clinical report highlights the rehabilitation of a lateral midfacial defect with a two piece prosthesis that included an extra oral facial prosthesis and an intraoral obturator with the use of magnets.

임시 보철물의 적절한 관리는 보철의 성공에 있어서 중요한 요소이다. 상악 전치 결손부 임시 보철물은 장경간의 결손부가 존재하거나, 타원형의 악궁을 가진 환자에서 자주 탈락하게 된다. 이는 상악 전치부가 구치부에 비해서 수평적인 힘에 더 많이 노출되며, 부가적으로 전방 캔틸레버 효과가 임시 보철물의 유지를 저해하고, 상악 전치부 임시 보철물은 하악의 기능 운동시 적절한 전방 유도를 제공하여야 하기 때문이다. 또한 임시 보철물의 최대 감합위에서 교합접촉은 지점선의 반대편에 위치하게 되어 그 자체로 임시 보철물의 탈락을 야기한다. 본 증례에서는 임시 임플란트를 이용하여 상악 전치부 보철물에 대한 전술한 유해 작용을 피할 수 있었고, 발치 후 치유기간 동안 환자에게 편안함과 만족감을 부여하였으므로 이를 보고하는 바이다.

A fixed bridge is preferred as a prosthetic option supported by oral implants. However, it is very difficult to re tore edentulous maxilla with fixed prosthesis in cases with improper position and angulation of fixtures, abnormal jaw relation, and need for proper lip support. Six Br${\aa}$nemark implants were installed in edentulous maxilla opposing mandible with natural dentition. A removable hybrid prosthesis attached to a bar milled by 6 degrees was therefore designed to overcome such disadvantages of fixed prosthesis. Lateral stabilization of removable prosthesis was obtained by framework closely fitting the milled bar. Support for the prosthesis was ensured by three elevated areas on the bar. Two precision attachments(CEKA REVAX) provided appropriate direct and indirect retention without influencing support. A clinical and laboratory procedure was presented.

시멘트유지형 임플란트 보철물은 교합과 심미적인 측면에서 상당한 장점을 가지지만 시멘트잔사가 남을 경우 임플란트주위염을 유발하는데 대부분 후기 증상으로 발현되며 특히 제거의 어려움과 시멘트잔사로 인한 임플란트주위염은 임플란트의 예후를 위협하는 요인이 될 수 있다. 그러므로 사용목적에 맞는 유지력을 가지는 시멘트를 선택하는 것이 필요하다. 일반적으로 레진시멘트, 폴리카복실레이트시멘트, RMGI 시멘트가 GI 시멘트나 ZPC보다 높은 유지력을 가지며 임시합착제는 열순환 후에는 유지력이 낮아진다. 시멘트 외에도 지대주의 높이와 경사도, 지대주의 수 및 분포도 유지력에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 무엇보다 목적에 맞는 시멘트를 선택하고 생역학적인 원칙을 준수한 보철물을 설계하고 시멘트잔사를 줄이는 방법을 이용하여 합착한 후 방사선사진으로 잔사를 확인하여 완벽하게 제거해야 시멘트유지형 보철의 성공을 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

The success of complete denture prosthesis is to satisfy three basic requirements for the edentulous patient : maximum comfort, efficiency, and esthetic appearance. This can be achieved only if the dentures are both stable and retentive. When the residual alveolar ridge has resorbed significantly, stability and retention are more dependent on the correct position of the teeth and external surfaces of the denture. The stability and retention of the denture can be improved by locating the denture in the neutral zone and reproducing exact mandibular border movement for balanced occlusion. The neutral zone philosophy is based upon the concept that there exists a specific area where the musculature function will not unseat the denture in the mouth. In here, forces generated by the tongue are neutralized by the forces generated by the lips and cheeks. One of the simplest methods for recording border movements in three dimensions is to make stereographic record of condylar movement. Stereographs are made in the mouth during mandibular movement with intraoral clutches and central bearing point, and used in dictating the condylar movement on the articulator later by generating the condylar paths in doughy acrylic resin. Its procedure is simpler and more convenient than that of Pantograph. In this clinical report, we introduce the concept of neutral zone and stereograph in complete denture fabrication.
