PURPOSE. The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the frequency and type of prosthetic complications in relation to type and properties of removable dentures and to investigate the influence of these complications and several data about the existing dentures on patient satisfaction. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ninety nine patients (44 males and 55 females) wearing removable dentures have been included in the study. The complications of the patients were recorded; patient satisfaction was determined with a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the relationship of complications and patient satisfaction with several data about the dentures such as denture age, type of denture, centric relation and vertical dimension was investigated. Kruskal Wallis, Mann Whitney U and Chi square tests were used for statistical analyses. The results were evaluated statistically at a significance level of $P$ <.05. RESULTS. Need for addition of artificial teeth for dentures with correct centric relations was found to be significantly lower than dentures with wrong centric relations ($P$ <.01). Loss of retention, ulcerations and high vertical dimension affected the VAS chewing ability scores negatively and ulcerations affected the VAS phonation scores negatively ($P$ <.05). CONCLUSION. Considering the results of this study, it can be concluded that loss of retention, ulcerations and high vertical dimension caused patient dissatisfaction. Additionally, dentures with wrong centric relations caused need for addition of artificial teeth.

Dental clinicians commonly encounter extrusion of the anterior teeth due to localized alveolar bone loss in adult patients with chronic periodontitis. This pathologic migration of the anterior not only may cause loss of functional anterior guidance and continuous periodontal destruction, but also can lead to esthetic disaster. In fact, most frequently reported chief complaint of the patients with extruded anterior teeth is the 'loss of esthetics', not the periodontal problem itself. The utilization of the expertise and skills in the various dental disciplines is thought to be the best treatment modality for the ultimate functional and esthetic attainment. Interdisciplinary therapy, involving periodontics, orthodontics, and restorative dentistry, was performed for the highest levels of patient and provider satisfaction in this case.

The success in periodontal-prosthetic therapy lies in patient satisfaction with subjective and customized treatment regimen that has been refined for individual needs. To fulfill these requirements, multiple predictors may have to be taken into consideration in the comprehensive treatment planning. Incorporation of complex factors that guarantee the evidence-based therapy would include, but not limited to, osseous morphology, biotype of gingival around abutment, bone morphology of interdental bone and those around furcation area, abutment or bridge mobility. The periodontal-restorative interface should be of mutually protective. Also strategic and esthetic value of abutment teeth to be restored should also be taken into consideration. Taken together, all these should work in concert to enhance the predictability and longevity of abutment teeth in periodontal-prosthetic therapy.

본 연구는 울산시에 소재하는 특수학교에 재학중인 청각장애학생과 청각장애와 언어장애를 동시에 겪고 있는 학생 38명을 대상으로 Q-ray를 이용하여 구강 내를 촬영하였다. 대상자의 구강위생 상태의 분석을 위하여 치면세균막 지수를 이용하여 평가하였고 치아 상태는 건전치아 수, 우식치아 수, 우식충전 치아수로 구분하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 남학생에 비해 여학생에서 치면세균막 관리가 소홀한 것으로 나타났고, 칫솔질 시간 및 부위에 따라 치면세균막 관리정도와 우식치아 수에 있어 현저한 차이를 보였다. 또한, 새로운 장비를 이용하여 교육시킴으로서 기존의 구강보건교육 방법에 비해 만족도도 높게 나타났다. 장애학생들의 구강건강수준의 향상을 위해서는 자신 스스로 구강건강을 관리할 수 있도록 반복적인 훈련과 동기화를 일으켜 실천도를 높여야 하겠다. 그리고 시각적인 효과가 큰 장비의 이용으로 장애학생뿐만 아니라 차후 여러 계층의 대상자들의 효과적인 구강보건교육에 도움이 되어 질것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: It is to survey old men's utilization status of dental clinic and temporary-binding dentures and then to provide basic data to make a program for manufacturing old men's dentures and their teeth health education. Methods: Random selection was made on old men living in Daejeon and Chungnam, and a survey was conducted from April 15 to May 20, 2011. 500 questionnaires were distributed and 420 questionnaires were collected. Using spss 18.0 program, final analysis was made on 363 questionnaires except for 57 questionnaires which had missing value or showed some doubts about the unreliability. Results: 1. With respect to number of natural teeth as per the age, the upper/lower jaws had meaningful differences (P<.001), which means that the older the person is, the smaller number of natural teeth is. In the meantime, there was no meaningful difference according to sex. 2. With respect to kind of prosthetics installed in a mouth as per the age, there was meaningful difference in the upper jaws (P<.05) but there was no meaningful difference in the lower jaws. It was found out that the older the persons are, the more they use removable dentures while the younger the persons are, the more they use fixed partial dentures. 3. With respect to mouth health condition recognized by oneself, it showed bad (44.4%) and good (10.3%),which means recognition as bad is greater, and the age when prosthetics were first used is dispersed variously from below 40 to over 70. 4. Dental care institutions which they mainly used are hospital and clinics (91.5%), and 66.4% of them visited dental clinics lately. Preferential treatment if they go to dentists is as follows in the order of prosthetics (33.9%), gum treatment (24.2%) and pain treatment (14.9%). 5. 68.4% of them revisited dentists after installation of dentures and the reason for revisit is as follows in the order of poorly fitted dentures (35.1%), painful gum 25.9%, regular check-up 25.4% and difficult chewing 9.6%. Conclusion: As our country enters into an aging society, mouth health problem of old men has come to a serious issue, and therefore, a survey was conducted on some old men with respect to their utilization status of dental clinic and removable dentures in order to provide basic data for improvement of quality of their life, maintenance and enhancement of their mouth health. The study result shows that the older they are, the higher the loss rate of teeth as well as needs for prosthetics are, and thus it is thought the study will help to develop mouth health education program which may improve quality of old men's life by recovery of mouth functions declined due to loss of teeth and by regular check-up, education for mouth health control and following-up control of dentures.

가지런한 치열을 얻기 위해 교정 치료는 치아 보존적인 의미에서 단연 First choice가 일 수 밖에 없다. 그러나 왜소치나 치아 크기의 불균형인 경우, 변색 치아나 파절, 심한 마모 치아인 경우 교정만으로는 심미적으로 완성도 높은 결과를 가져올 수 없다. 모든 치료에서 그러하지만, 특히 심미 치료에서는 치아 교정과 보철 치료, 혹은 치주 치료 및 임플란트등 항상 통합적인 진단과 치료계획이 필요한 경우가 많다. 그리고 다양한 치과 분야의 협진 진료가 필요한 환자에서는 안모와 치아의 심미적 만족뿐 아니라 기능적인 교합관계를 이룸으로써 장기간 안정적이며 조화로운 상태가 유지될 수 있는 치료가 전제되어야 한다. 본 증례는 전치부와 소구치에 cross bite가 있고, 상악 우중절치 절단에 마모가 있는 37세 여성 환자에서 교정과 라미네이트 수복치료를 동반한 경우이다. 치아교정을 통하여 전체적인 치아 위치를 재구성하여 기능교합을 이루었고, 최소한의 치질삭제로 라미네이트 수복치료를 함으로써 전치부 심미를 회복하였다. 최종 보철물을 장착하고 2년간 주기적인 follow up통해 예후를 관찰중이며, 부정교합의 재발이나 보철물 파절은 현재까지 관찰되지 않았다.

본 연구는 노인들의 치아 수와 삶의 행복지수와의 관련성을 파악하고자 하였다. 설문 조사는 대전광역시 동구에 거주하는 노인들을 대상으로 직접 대면 조사자 기입식 방법을 통해 2012년 6월 27일부터 7월 25일까지 이루어졌다. 설문자료의 처리는 SPSS 20.0을 사용하여 t-검정, 분산분석 후 Tukey 사후분석, 상관분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 성별과 구강건강 관련 삶의 만족도는 유의하다고 나타났고 일상생활에서 느낄 수 있는 행복은 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 또한 연령에서는 구강건강 관련 삶의 질과 일상생활에서 느낄 수 있는 행복 모두 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 의치장착 여부에 따른 저작능력은 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<0.001). 치아 수에 따른 저작능력의 차이를 상관분석을 통해 분석한 결과 현존 치아 수, 현존 치아 전치, 현존 치아 구치와 상관관계를 보였다. 치아 수에 따른 구강건강 관련 삶의 질은 현존 치아 수, 현존 치아 전치, 현존 치아 구치에서 상관관계를 나타내었다.
