혀는 구강 내에서 가장 흔하게 종양이 발생하는 부위이며, 특히 측면에서 호발한다. 설암으로 인해 혀의 절제를 시행한 환자의 경우 발음, 저작, 연하 그리고 구강 위생을 위해 적절한 움직임 등의 기능에 장애를 갖게 되므로 적절한 혀의 기능을 회복하기 위해 구개 증대 보철물을 이용할 수 있다. 본 증례는 설암으로 인해 혀의 절제를 시행한 환자에서 치조설열구 및 치조제 소실 등의 불리한 조건을 임플란트를 이용한 피개의치를 이용하여 개선하였다. 또한 금속 하부구조와 지지 및 유지부를 갖는 형태의 구개 증대 보철물을 제작하여 구개 높이를 낮추어 줌으로써 제한된 혀의 운동으로도 적절한 혀구개 접촉을 얻을 수 있었다. 최종보철물 장착 후 안정적인 저작기능을 회복하였고 연하 및 발음의 문제가 개선되어 이를 보고하고자 한다.

임플란트에 대한 급여의 확대로 임플란트의 지지를 받는 서베이드 고정성 보철물 제작 후 국소의치로 수복하는 증례에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 증례의 예지성 있는 결과를 위해서 국소의치의 기본적인 설계 원칙과 잔존 치조골을 동시에 고려한 임플란트 계획수립이 필요하다. 본 증례는 편측 소수 잔존치를 가진 67세 남자 환자로 국민건강보험의 적용을 받을 수 있는 치료를 희망했다. CAD 소프트웨어를 활용하여 임시의치의 교합면, 국소의치의 기본적인 설계 원칙 및 흡수된 치조제를 모두 고려한 임플란트의 식립 위치를 결정하였다. 치료 결과 상악 및 하악 의치의 안정성 및 유지력이 적절하게 확보되었다. 본 증례는 임플란트 고정성 보철물 제작 시 국소의치의 기본적인 원칙과 흡수된 치조제를 모두 고려하기 위해 디지털 기술을 진단 및 치료에 활용하였고, 안정적인 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

치아가 발거된 치조제는 수직, 수평적인 골흡수가 점진적으로 일어나게 되며 흡수의 양상은 수평적으로 서로 다르게 나타난다. 이로 인해 상대적으로 하악궁이 상악궁에 비해 확장되는 경향을 보이며, 상악과 하악 치조제 간의 위치관계에 따라 적합한 인공치 배열 방법을 선택하여 의치의 안정을 도모해야 한다. 본 증례는 77세 남자환자로 기존에 사용하던 상악 총의치, 하악 국소의치의 재제작을 희망하였다. 상악과 하악 치조골의 흡수정도에서 차이를 보여 치조제 간의 위치관계에 대한 정확한 평가가 필요하였고, 이를 위해 치과용 CAD 소프트웨어를 활용했다. 교합기에 부착된 주모형과 교합제를 스캔하여 디지털 스캔 데이터로 변환하고, CAD 소프트웨어 상에서 치조정간선의 법칙에 따라 상악과 하악 치조제간의 위치관계를 평가하여 우측 구치부를 편측 교차교합으로 배열하였다. 보철물 완성 후 주기적인 검진을 거친 결과 의치는 적절한 유지, 안정, 지지를 얻었고 환자 또한 심미적, 기능적으로 만족하였다. 본 증례에서는 상악의 완전 무치악, 하악의 부분 무치악 환자에서 치조제간의 위치관계에 대한 정확한 평가를 위해 디지털 기술을 활용하였으며, 이를 통해 보철치료의 임상 및 기공과정을 보다 효율적으로 진행할 수 있었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

Construction of an obturator for rehabilitation of a patient who underwent a maxillectomy is vital. Routinely a constructed obturator includes denture portion. A patient who may present anatomical limitations due to surgical or radiotherapy complications often challenges the clinician. Purpose: This clinical report describes a patient with severe trismus after surgical resection and radiotherapy treatment of a tumor in the upper left maxilla. Conclusion: This report describes the concepts of using a rotational path insertion for an obturator and a separately constructed maxillary denture. The stability and retention of the obturator were obtained from anatomical features. Where as these were achieved through magnetic attachments and the remaining edentulous ridge to ensure esthetic and function of the prosthesis.

The following results were come out after the careful study on the rational application of dental surveyor in the clinic 1. The adequate path of placement satisfying guiding plane, retention non-interference and esthetics. 2. The location of clasp arm and the accurate under cut position and amount of clasp tip can be judged. 3. In case that the model needs to be mounted to the surveyor, the exactly same location can be attained by the means of the tripoding. 4. The unnecessary undercut areas in the path of placement and removal car be corrected. 5. The surveyor is essential in manufacturing dental prosthesis and it can also carry out all sorts of prospective designs In terms of the diagnosis and treatment.

Even though an immediate denture (ID) is a practical prosthesis, fabricating an ID may be challenging, as unexpected removals of periodontally compromised teeth may occur during an impression procedure. This clinical report introduces a digital approach to a maxillary ID. An intraoral scanner was applied to prevent accidental extraction. A physical cast and a resin pattern of a framework were fabricated with rapid prototyping technology. A proper border and retention was also achieved by an altered cast impression.

Dentists often place post and core buildups on endodontically treated abutments for crown and bridge restorations. This article analyzes the bio-mechanical purposes, advantages and disadvantages of placing a core or a post and core in an endodontically treated tooth and reviews literature on post and core biomechanics. The author assesses the scientific rationale of the claim that the main purpose of a post is to retain a core, or the claim that posts weaken teeth. More likely, the main function of a post is to help prevent the abutment, on which a crown is cemented, from fracturing such that the abutment separates from the tooth root, at a fracture plane that is located approximately and theoretically at the level of the crown (or ferrule) margin. A post essentially improves the ferrule effect that is provided by the partial fixed denture prosthesis. This paper also explores the difference between bio-mechanical failures of crowns caused by lack of retention or excess taper, versus failures due to a sub-optimal ferrule effect in crown and bridge prostheses.

Objectives: In this study, we determined the incidence and pattern of screw loosening in patients who received dental implants. Materials and Methods: Patients who received implants between January 2008 and October 2013 and completed their prosthetic rehabilitation were evaluated for the incidence, frequency, and onset of screw loosening using dental charts and radiographs. The association between each factor and screw loosening was analyzed using the chi-square test and a multivariate analysis with binary logistic regression models (P<0.05). Results: Total 1,928 implants were placed in 837 patients (448 males, 389 females), whose follow-up period after loading varied from 0.25 to 70 months (mean period, 31.5 months). Screw loosening occurred in 7.2% of implants. Most cases occurred less than six months after loading. Among those, 22.3% experienced recurrent screw loosening. Screw loosening was most common in the molar region (8.5%) and frequently associated with an implant diameter of ≥5 mm (14.2%). External implant-abutment connections (8.9%) and screw-retained implant prostheses (10.1%) showed higher incidence of problems than internal implant-abutment connections and cement-retained implants, respectively. Screw loosening was most common in implant prostheses with single crowns (14.0%). Conclusion: Within the limits of the current study, we conclude that the incidence of screw loosening differs significantly according to the position of implant placement, the type of implant and manufacturer, implant diameter, the type of implant-abutment connection, the type of retention in the implant prosthesis, and the type of implant prosthesis.

Post and core is used to restore endodontically treated teeth, and it is a very important part which supplies retention and support to the prosthesis. But occasionally, caries occured due to the microleakage at the post and core and tooth interface, the failure of prosthesis has happened. In this study, the microleakage of cast gold post and core, amalgam core, and composite resin core was investigated and compared. The coronal part of the extracted upper anterior teeth were removed and endodontically treated with conventional method. The teeth were divided into three groups. In group 1, cast gold post and core was cemented with resin cement and in group 2, ready-made post was cemented with resin cement and amalgam core was built. In group 3, ready-made post was cemented with resin cement and composite resin core was built. All specimens were thermocycled between $5^{\circ}C\;and\;55^{\circ}C$ with dwell time of 15 seconds, and immersed in 0.5% aqueous solution of basic fuchsin dye for 24 hours. After embedded in the epoxy resin, the specimens were sectioned longitudinally and observed with stereomicroscope with the magnification of 25. From the findings of this study, the following conclusions were obtained. 1. There was microleakage at the core/tooth interface of all specimens. 2. The microleakage of gold post and core was significantly less than those of the other two groups. 3. There was no significant difference between the microleakage of amalgam core and that of composite resin core.
