Abstract

The patient was a 26-year old female who was not satisfied with the aesthetic approach of her maxillary incisors. The treatment goal throughout the process was to manage the risk and recreate the original and youthful appearance of the smile. The biomechanical risk was managed by providing coverage of the exposed dentin and rebuilding the eroded structures with minimal tooth reduction throughout the treatment. Functional risk and prognosis for this patient were both improved by achieving acceptable function. The patient was satisfied with the full-ceramic restorations and the symmetry, harmony gingival architecture.

본 증례는 26세 여성환자로 폭식증과 이로 인한 구토 및 위산역류로 상악 전치부에 광범위한 치질 손상과 더불어 산부식으로 인해 상아질 노출로 기능뿐만 아니라 심미적인 문제를 주소로 내원했다. 환자는 단시간 내 심미성 회복을 원하는 상태로 교정 등의 치료는 원치 않았다. 이를 감안해 치료계획은 이미 손상된 치질을 최대한 보존하면서 심미성 및 기능 회복을 목표로 하였다. 상악 전치부의 치관 비율 및 치은 형태 개선을 위해 치은절제술 및 치관연장술을 시행했으며, 전부도재관을 이용해 수복하였다. 회전 이동되어있는 우측 상악 측절치는 치질 삭제 없이 veneer 형태로 제작했다. 산 부식 및 마모에 강한 지르코니아에 도재로 순측을 veneering해 기능 회복뿐만 아니라 심미적인 면에서도 만족할만한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 추후 미백치료를 고려해 최종보철물의 색상을 결정했으며, 환자는 색상과 형태에 만족했으며 자신감있는 미소를 회복할 수 있었다.
