Osseointegrated implants have been established as the standard treatment modality for full/partial edentulous patients since the 1960's, and the long term results for full edentulous patients have proven to be successful. Based on these results osseointegrated implants are now widely used for partial edentulous patients. There has been an increased interest towards the efficacy of wide implants, despite many reports mentioning the lower success rate of wide implants compared to regular implants. Recently, mandibular molar area defects are commonly restored using 2 wide implants, but it is not determined whether which treatment modality-3 regular implants or 2 wide implants-shows superior success rate. In this study, 2 wide implants and 3 regular implants used for the restoration of mandibular molar area are used to compare the survival rate of 1-4 years, and to analyze and compare the failure factors. The following conclusions could be drawn from this study. 1. Wide implants and regular implants showed 94.5% and 97,6% of survival rate respectively. After prosthodontic work, the survival rate was 100% and 98.1% for wide implants and regular implants respectively. 2. 5 failed implants have been removed. 2 wide implants and 1 regular implant have been removed due to failure of osseointegration. 1 wide implant was removed due to abscess formation caused by over-heating, and 1 regular implant was removed due to mechanical failure caused by over-loading within the first year of function. 3. No statistically significant difference was observed with respect to the amount of marginal bone loss of wide and regular implants.(P>0.05) In conclusion, restoration of the mandibular molar area using 3 regular implants was found to be a good treatment modality, and 2 wide implants could he considered a good treatment modality when success factors are taken into account.

연구 목적: 이 연구의 목적은 결손부 내로 낮게 연장된 폐쇄장치와 높게 연장된 폐쇄장치를 환자의 만족도 및 선호도를 통해 비교하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 상악절제술을 받고 보철치료를 받은 11명을 대상으로 결손부 내의 연장부의 높이가 다르고 나머지 형태가 통일한 폐쇄장치를 각 환자 당 2개씩 제작 하였다. 각 폐쇄장치를 2달 간 번갈아 사용하게 한 후 환자에게 폐쇄장치의 사용편의성, 발음, 비음성, 누출, 저작에 대한 폐쇄장치들의 만족도를 설문을 통해 조사하고, 최종적으로 환자들의 선호도와 그 이유를 조사하여 분석하였다. 폐쇄장치에 따른 차이를 Wilcoxon signed rank test를 사용하여 분석하였다 (P<.05). 결과: 구개 결손부 내로의 연장부의 높이가 낮은 폐쇄장치와 높은 폐쇄장치에 대해 환자들의 평가는 차이가 없었다 (P>.05). 그리고 높은 폐쇄장치와 낮은 폐쇄장치에 대한 환자들의 선호도는 다양하였다. 결론: 상악절제술 후 개구가 제한되는 상황이나 보철물의 삽입로가 제한되는 등 특수한 상황에서는 연장부가 낮은 높이의 폐쇄장치가 추천될 수 있다.
