Abstract

If maintaining oral few retained root when planning the removable prosthesis, it is possible to obtain a more comfortable and functional result. In this case report, 'Locator Root Attachment' was used to maxillary removable overdenture in patients with a few teeth and retained root. A functionally proper clinical result from attachment after clinical and radiographic analysis was observed in this case.

최종 수복물을 가철성 국소의치로 계획하였을 때 구강내 소수 잔존 치근을 유지하고 활용한다면, 기능적으로 좀더 나은 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 이번 증례는 소수 치아와 잔존 치근을 갖고 있는 환자에서 'Locator Root Attachment'를 활용하여 상악 가철성 피개의치로 최종 수복한 증례이다. 잔존 치근에 대한 정확한 임상적, 방사선학적 평가 후 어태치먼트를 적용하여 기능적으로 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있었기에 이에 보고하고자 한다.
