A treatment should be functional, esthetic, conservative and periodontally healthy in order to meet criteria of an ideal dental procedure. In a prsthodontic patient with horizontal and/or vertical space deficiency, orthodontic tooth movement should be considered as a pre-prosthetic procedure. With a conventional technique, orthodontic treatment is a time-consuming and uncomfortable procedure. Pre-prosthetic orthodontic treatment, however, is no longer difficult procedure with the help of recently developed techniques, such as passive bracketing. The present article outlines the problems and causes of horizontal and vertical space deficiency in prosthodontic patients, and presents efficient pre-prosthetic orthodontic treatment modalities with typical clinical cases.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluated the process of model analysis, design, and production for a full mouth prosthetic rehabilitation of function, esthetics, and pronunciation. Methods: This is a case report of class III malocclusion with a severe anterior incisor occlusion and a prosthetic treatment of patient with poor occlusion of posterior teeth. A provisional restoration based on the diagnostic wax-up was applied to the patient. And then functions, esthetics, and occlusal stability were observed during 4 week tracking period. Final restorations were delivered and evaluated based on a systematic analysis, diagnosis and treatment plan. Results: We confirms that this case study obtained the satisfactory results in terms of functions and esthetics. Conclusion : If we can give the patient the continuous evaluation and progress monitoring, we expect the dentist and the dental technician to design the prosthesis successfully.

Korean dental hygienists perform more tasks in dental clinics than are described in the law. The purpose of this study was to investigate the actual work of Korean dental hygienists in dental clinics using an observational study design. Two dental hygienists observed and recorded the work performed in 1 day from the time of commencement to the time of leaving work by 18 dental hygienists working in the dental clinic in a single area. Data management, prevention of infection, counseling, calculus removal, radiography, assistance of fixed orthodontic treatment, assistance of fixed prosthetic treatment, and preparation for implant surgery were recorded. Among the tasks that take more than 1 min, the most time-consuming tasks were document management, infection control, consultation, calculus removal, preparation for implant surgery, assistance of orthodontic treatment, and assistance of fixed prosthetic treatment. Korean dental hygienists are performing various tasks, such as infection control, dental hospital/clinic management, oral disease prevention, and dental treatment assistants.

본 연구는 2009년 8월부터 2009년 11월까지 편의추출된 서울, 인천, 대구지역 치과 병의원 3곳에서 1개 이상 3개 이하 치아에 대해 임플란트 시술을 받은 20세 이상의 남녀 성인 환자 중 102명을 대상으로 하여 3개 이하의 임플란트 고정성 보철물 장착 전후의 구강건강관련 삶의 질(OHIP-14) 변화에 관하여 조사하고 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 3개 이하의 임플란트 고정성 보철물 장착 후 OHIP-14 총점은 치료 전에 비해 유의하게 감소하여(p<0.001) 구강건강관련 삶의 질이 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 2. 인구통계적 특성에 따른 보철물 장착 전 시점의 OHIP-14 총점은 성별(p=0.01), 경제적 수준별(p=0.04), 교육수준별(p=0.01)에는 유의한 차이가 있었으나 보철물 장착 후에는 OHIP-14 총점의 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 3. 3개 이하의 임플란트 고정성 보철물 장착 후 North Texas Periodontal Associates에서 제시한 모형의 저작 기능, 사회적 기능, 심리적 기능 만족도에 있어서도 유의하게 변화하였으나(p<0.001) 세부지표 중 구강건강에 대한 염려의 전후 변화는 유의하지 않았다. 4. 3개 이하의 임플란트 고정성 보철물 장착 후 구강건강관련 관심도 변화에 있어서 잇솔질 횟수 증가(p<0.001), 주기적 구강검진(p<0.001), 구강검진필요 인지(p<0.001), 구강질병치료 인지(p<0.001) 등에 있어서도 유의하게 변화하였다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 소수 치아 결손 시 임플란트를 이용한 고정성 보철물 장착이 구강건강관련 삶의 질, 저작기능, 사회적 기능, 심리적 기능 만족도, 구강건강관련 관심도를 향상시킬 수 있다고 판단되었다.

Dental clinicians often encounter cases wherein the patient's lost molar area was neglected and left untreated for an extended period of time, thereby causing the extrusion of opposite molars and occlusal disharmony as well as occlusion in the anterior teeth and consequently resulting in anterior displacement in the area. Clinicians normally carry out prosthetic treatment via occlusal plane lifting when such becomes absolutely necessary due to the lack of sufficient space needed for prosthetic therapy aimed at proper anterior and lateral induction. In this case report, we examined occlusal disharmony and VDO loss in a patient who had lost his molars and had not received prosthetic treatment for an extended period of time. We treated the maxillary area with dental implant prosthetics and Kennedy Class I RPD and the mandibular area with residual natural tooth-based implant placement and dental implant prosthetics. The patient reported treatment outcomes that were deemed satisfactory both functionally and aesthetically.

This case study is aimed at introducing a full-mouth rehabilitation of a patient with severe tooth wear using fixed prosthesis. This is a case report of a patient with severe wear dentition with changing vertical dimension. In line with using prosthetic treatment, patient adaptation was verified with provisional restorations followed by diagnostic wax-up. Function, esthetics, and occlusal stability were verified during a 4-week follow up period. Prosthodontic reconstruction based on systemic analysis, diagnosis, and treatment plan led to satisfactory results after delivery of definitive prosthesis. Prosthetic treatment of severe wear dentition was functionally and esthetically successful. Dentists and dental technicians would be able to develop better treatment approaches using fixed dental prosthesis.

If the implant is planted in the wrong position or direction, it is disadvantageous for stress distribution, and it is easy to cause complications such as screw loosening, abutment fracture, and implant fracture. If the position or orientation of the implant is not good, efforts should be made to minimize the problem through proper implant prosthetic treatment. In this article, the prosthetic method for facilitating future maintenance in cases with poor implant placement or orientation will be presented.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the oral health knowledge and actual oral health care of the selected subjects, their decision making about prosthetic treatment, the state and characteristics of their prosthetic treatment and their satisfaction with prosthetic treatment in an attempt to provide some information on the improvement of the quality of life related to oral health and the promotion of oral health. Methods : The subjects in this study were 250 people who received education in two different lifelong education institutions in the city of Busan. After a survey was conducted from May 23 to June 15, 2011, the answer sheets from 217 respondents were analyzed. Results : 1. As for the general characteristics of the respondents, the men(52.1%) outnumbered the women. Those who were in their 60 and up(47.5%) made up the largest age group, and the married people(65.4%) outnumbered the unmarried ones. By occupation, the company employees(20.3%) made up the biggest group. By education, the greatest group was high-school graduates(36.1%). By monthly mean income, the biggest group gained an income of 2.01 million won or more(36.9%). As to medical security, community-based insurance was most prevailing (36.9%). In terms of health promotion, the largest group worked out to stay fit(52.4%). 2. Regarding oral health knowledge, they had a good knowledge about the cause of dental caries(56.7%), but they weren't well aware of the right time for regular dental checkup(47.9%). In relation to oral health care, regular scaling wasn't prevailing(16.9%). 3. Regarding connections between the general characteristics and satisfaction with prosthesis, the less-educated respondents expressed significantly more dissatisfaction(p=0.015). By monthly mean income, those who had a smaller income were dissatisfied in general(p=0.028). Conclusions : The findings of the study illustrated that it's required to spread awareness of the importance of oral health among people in general, and that differentiated incremental oral health care should be provided for different age groups. In order to raise the satisfaction of patients with prosthesis, how to relieve their pain and anxiety and how to adjust prosthetic treatment cost properly should carefully be considered. In addition, the government should take measures to offer assistance for the low-income classes in preparation for an increase in the elderly population.
