Abstract

Implant treatment, which was first attempted in fully edentulous patients, is now widely used in partially edentulous, and a single tooth missing patients. Moreover, implant treatment has become an essential treatment modality in modern dentistry. The material of fabricating implant prostheses has also become more diverse than before, one of which is the use of high-performance polymers. The frequency of using high-performance polymers, which have been used in the medical field, is also increased in the dental field compared to the past. In the first case, a PEKK abutment and a PFG crown (cement-screw-retaining type) were fabricated in the lower left second premolar, and in the second case, a PEKK abutment and a monolithic zirconia crown (cement-screw-retaining type) were fabricated in the missing upper left first molar, and in the third case two PEKK abutments and a splinted PFM crowns (cement-screw-retaining type) were fabricated and connected to the upper right first and second molar implants. Through these procedures the patients obtained esthetically and functionally satisfactory results after 4 years of follow-up.

완전무치악 환자한테 처음으로 시도되었던 임플란트 보철치료는 현재는 단일치아 상실된 경우까지 그 활용범위가 넓어졌으며, 임플란트 보철치료는 현대 치과에서는 거의 필수적인 치료방법으로 자리매김 하였다. 임플란트 보철물을 제작하는데 사용되는 재료도 초기에 비해 다양해졌는데, 그 중 하나가 고기능성 폴리머의 적용이다. 예전부터 의과에서 많이 사용되어 왔던 고기능성 폴리머를 치과에서도 시도하는 빈도가 점점 늘어나고 있다. 이에 고기능성 폴리머를 구치부 임플란트 지대주로 사용한 3가지 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 첫번째 증례는 하악 좌측 제2소구치가 상실된 부위에 PEKK 지대주 및 PFG 크라운(시멘트-나사-유지형)을 제작, 장착하였으며, 두번째 증례는 상실된 상악 좌측 제1대구치 부위에 PEKK 지대주 및 monolithic zirconia 크라운(시멘트-나사-유지형)을 제작, 장착하였으며, 마지막 증례는 상악 우측 제1,2 대구치 상실부위에 PEKK 지대주 및 splinted PFM 크라운(시멘트-나사-유지형)을 제작하여 장착하였다. 4년의 추적 관찰 결과 상기 환자 모두 심미적 및 기능적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 증례를 보고하고자 한다.
