Abstract

Severely absorbed edentulous ridge cannot bear mechanical stress, causes undesired transformation of oral environment and makes patients difficult to adapt to dentures. Nowadays implant overdenture can be a treatment of choice in order to relieve patients' discomfort and improve stability and retention of the denture. Placement of implant on maxilla is difficult because of its bone quality and anatomic structure. It also has wide supportive tissue and convenience of border sealing, which provides sufficient support and stabilization with conventional complete denture. Mandible, on the other hand, is difficult to obtain sufficient support, retention and stabilization with conventional complete denture. Therefore, implant overdenture is recommended on mandible. Locator attachment has been improved for convenience of use and male parts of various retention enabled it to replace ball type attachment clinically. In this study, we restored maxillary arch with conventional denture, and mandibular arch with implant and tissue-supported overdenture and Locator attachment system.

심하게 흡수된 치조제는 기능적인 하중을 견디기 어렵고 구강 조직의 유해 변화와 더불어 환자의 의치 적응을 어렵게 한다. 환자의 불편감을 해소하고 의치의 안정성과 유지력을 증가시키기 위해 임플란트를 이용한 피개의치가 치료 방법으로 선택될 수 있다. 로케이터 부착장치는 사용상의 편리성이 높으며 다양한 유지력을 갖는 남자부를 보유함으로써 임상에서 볼 형태 부착장치대용으로 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 증례는 77세 여자환자로서 낮은 수직고경과 심한 치조제 흡수를 보이는 상하악 무치악 상태였다. 이에 하악에 4개의 임플란트를 식립하고, 상악은 총의치, 하악은 로케이터 부착장치를 이용한 임플란트 피개의치로 수복하여 기능 및 심미적으로 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.
