PURPOSE: The application of computer-aided technology to implant dentistry has created new opportunities for treatment planning, surgery and prosthodontic treatment, but the correct selection and combination of available methods may be challenging in times. Hence, the purpose of this case report is to present a combination of several computer-aided tools as approaches to manage complicated implant case. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A 47 year-old female patient with severe dental anxiety, high expectations, financial restrictions and poor compliance presented for a fixed rehabilitation. A CT scan with a radiographic template obtained with software (SimPlant, Materialize, Leuven, Belgium) was used for treatment planning. The surgical plan was created and converted into a stereolithographic model of the maxilla with bone-supported surgical templates (SurgiGuide, Materialise, Leuven, Belgium), that allowed for the precise placement of 7 implants in a severely resorbed edentulous maxilla. After successful osseointegration, an accurate scan model served as the basis for the fabrication of a one-piece milled titanium framework using the Procera (Nobel Biocare, Gothenburg, Sweden) technology. The final rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla was rendered in the form of a screw-retained maxillary metal-reinforced resin-based complete prosthesis. RESULTS: Despite challenging circumstances, 7 implants could be placed without bone augmentation in a severely resorbed maxilla using the SimPlant software for pre-implant analysis and the SurgiGuide-system as the surgical template. The patient was successfully restored with a fixed full arch restoration, utilizing the Procera system for the fabrication of a milled titanium framework.

The purpose of this study is to improve the availabilities of radiographic technics as diagnostic methods to evaluate maxillary sinus in dental clinic. For the morphologic study of maxillary sinus, 20 dry maxillas were used and intraoral standard views, orthopantomograms, and skull P-A views were taken. For measuring the vertical image magnification rates, 5 sites in maxillary molar regions of 5 dry mandibles were selected radndomly and 25 wires of the determined sizes for selected portions were attached to the sites, after then, intraoral radiograms with bisecting technic and orthopantomograms were taken. The acquired results were as follows: 1. The anterior extension of the maxillary sinus on orthopantomogram was the distal side of the canine in 45.45% of subjects, the mesial side of the canine in 27.27%, the lateral incisor in 9.09%, the mesial side of the 1st premolar in 9.09%, and the mesial side of the 2nd pre-molar in 9.09%. 2. The positional relationship between the floor of maxillary sinus and the apex of alveolar socket revealed superimposed type in 58.3% of subjects, approached type in 33.3%, and separated type in 8.4%. 3. The morphology of inferior border of maxillary sinus was simple V or U shape in edentulous stage and V or wide U shape in alveolar socket stage. 4. The vertical image length on intraoral film taken by bisecting technic was magnified by 27.23% on the average and the length on orthopantomogram by 12.35%. 5. The inferior borders of maxillary sinus coinciding with each of the areas bearing the anterior and the posterior teeth on skull P-A view were determined.

The advent of osseointegration and advances in biomaterials and techniques have contributed to increased application of dental implants in the restoration of maxillary partial edentulous patients. Often, in these patients, soft and hard tissue defects result from a variety of causes, such as infection, trauma, and tooth loss. These create an anatomically less favorable foundation for ideal implant placement. Reconstruction of the atrophic maxillary alveolar bone through a variety of regenerative surgical procedures has become predictable; it may be necessary prior to implant placement or simultaneously at the time of implant surgery to provide a restoration with a good long-term prognosis. Regenerative procedures are used for horizontal and vertical ridge augmentation. Many different techniques exist for effective bone augmentation. The approach is largely dependent on the extent of the defect and specific procedures to be performed for the implant reconstruction. It is most appropriate to use an evidenced-based approach when a treatment plan is being developed for bone augmentation cases. The cases presented in this article clinically demonstrate the efficacy of using a autogenous block graft, guided bone regeneration, ridge split, immediated implant placement technique on the atrophic maxillary area.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to assess the occurrence, location, and dimensions of the intraosseous vascular canal in the lateral wall of the maxillary antrum using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, we examined 400 CBCT scans from our archive of patients who had earlier reported to a dental teaching hospital in the United Arab Emirates. The prevalence, location, and dimensions of the lateral antral intraosseous canal (LAIC) in the maxillary antrum were evaluated by 2 examiners using standardised methods. A third examiner was consulted in cases of disagreement. Results: The prevalence of LAIC was 62.3% (249 maxillary antra) among the study population. The mean distance between the most inferior point of the alveolar bone and the inferior border of the LAIC in the posterior maxillary region was 19.83±3.12 mm. There was a significant difference (P=0.05) between the maxillary molar and premolar regions in mean distance from the most inferior point of the alveolar bone and the inferior border of the LAIC. There was no statistically significant difference in mean distance between the most inferior point of the alveolar bone and the inferior border of the LAIC between dentulous and edentulous areas (P=0.1). The G3-intrasinusal type canal less than 1mm in diameter was the most common type of LAIC. Conclusion: This study established the approximate location of the LAIC in a United Arab Emirates cohort, which will assist the oral surgeon in selecting the appropriate site for sinus lift procedures with reduced risk of surgical hemorrhage.

부분 무치악 환자는 고정성 보철, 가철성 국소의치, 임플란트 지지 고정성 보철로 수복될 수 있다. 그러나 소수 잔존치아만 남은 경우, 고정성 보철로는 수복이 어려우며, 국소의치 혹은 임플란트 지지 고정성 보철을 고려하게 된다. 이 경우 임플란트 지지 고정성 보철은 고정성 수복이라는 장점이 있으나, 충분한 개수의 임플란트가 식립되어야 하며, 환자의 전신적, 국소적 여건이 합당해야 하고, 경제적 부담도 크다. 가철성 국소의치는 지대치에 의한 대칭적인 지지가 중요하며, 특히 중심선에 대해 편측으로 소수 치아만 남은 경우에는 지점선에 대해 지대치에 유해한 스트레스를 가하면서 지대치의 예후가 불량해진다. 이 경우, 전략적 위치에 임플란트를 식립함으로써 임플란트를 의치의 유지 및 지지 요소로 활용하는 가철성보철물을 설계한다면 비용 대비 기능적이며 심미적인 보철 수복이 가능해진다. 본 두 증례는 상악 Kennedy Class I 부분 무치악 환자 중 편측으로 소수 잔존치가 전치에 국한하여 존재하는 경우로, 잔존치를 지대치로 사용하면서, 전략적 위치에 임플란트를 식립함으로써 의치의 지지가 향상된 국소의치를 제작한 증례이다.

기존의 의치 인상채득 방법은 치조제 흡수가 심한 환자에게 사용하기에 한계점이 있으며, 의치상을 과도하게 연장하여 문제를 발생시킬 수 있다. 특히나 가동성조직이 존재하는 경우에는 정확한 인상 채득을 하기가 어렵고, 따라서 총의치의 적절한 안착을 방해할 수 있다. 치조제 흡수가 심한 환자에서 폐구법 인상을 이용하여 총의치를 제작하면 더 나은 안정성과 유지를 얻을 수 있다. 본 증례는 86세의 여자환자로 상악 전치부에 치은열성비대가 존재하며 하악의 심한 치조제 흡수를 보이는 무치악 환자이다. 따라서 Centric tray를 이용하여 잠정적인 교합고경을 결정 후 고딕아치 장치를 부착한 맞춤형 트레이를 제작하였고, 폐구법 인상채득을 시행하여 상하악 총의치를 제작하였으며, 의치의 충분한 안정성과 유지력을 얻어 환자의 만족도를 높였다.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of varying resolutions of cone-beam computed tomography images on the accuracy of linear measurements of edentulous areas in human cadaver heads. Intact cadaver heads were used to simulate a clinical situation. Materials and Methods: Fiduciary markers were placed in the edentulous areas of 4 intact embalmed cadaver heads. The heads were scanned with two different CBCT units using a large field of view ($13cm{\times}16cm$) and small field of view ($5cm{\times}8cm$) at varying voxel sizes (0.3 mm, 0.2 mm, and 0.16 mm). The ground truth was established with digital caliper measurements. The imaging measurements were then compared with caliper measurements to determine accuracy. Results: The Wilcoxon signed rank test revealed no statistically significant difference between the medians of the physical measurements obtained with calipers and the medians of the CBCT measurements. A comparison of accuracy among the different imaging protocols revealed no significant differences as determined by the Friedman test. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.961, indicating excellent reproducibility. Inter-observer variability was determined graphically with a Bland-Altman plot and by calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient. The Bland-Altman plot indicated very good reproducibility for smaller measurements but larger discrepancies with larger measurements. Conclusion: The CBCT-based linear measurements in the edentulous sites using different voxel sizes and FOVs are accurate compared with the direct caliper measurements of these sites. Higher resolution CBCT images with smaller voxel size did not result in greater accuracy of the linear measurements.
