An implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis (ISFDP) or an implant-supported overdenture (IOD) are good options when treating a completely edentulous jaw opposing natural teeth. However, an ISFDP for a full arch requires sufficient bone quality and quantity, which limits its application. Meanwhile, using an ISFDP as an abutment of a removable partial denture has been considered recently. This clinical report discusses the treatments applied to two patients with edentulous maxillas and opposing natural teeth: one was treated with an IOD and the other was treated with an ISFDP and removable partial denture. Follow-up and management were performed for 8 years.

The treatment of patients with severe periodontitis should be proceeded step-bystep through an accurate diagnosis of each patients' individual tooth and with a strategic treatment plan. Implant-supported fixed prosthetic restoration has the advantage of high patient satisfaction and stable vertical dimension compared to the removable partial denture. However, multiple teeth defect areas lacking hard tissue may be disadvantageous in aesthetic failure and longer treatment time. In addition, it takes a certain period of time to manufacture and install a conventional fixed prosthesis, and during this process, the provisional prosthesis must satisfy the mechanical, biological, and aesthetic requirements of teeth. The purpose of this article is to describe the fabrication of implant-supported fixed prosthesis through a step-by-step approach in a partially edentulous patient.

A 20-year-old male patient with Down syndrome presented with rampant caries and chronic periodontitis on full-mouth. Patient have many oral diseases despite of no abnormalities of medical history, no involuntary tremor, no excessive masticatory pressure, and no limitation of exercise. Also he had no experiences of oral health education of prostheses and oral health management. Therefore, A number of fixed prostheses and denture treatments were performed to caregiver and patient with education for oral hygiene and management. After delivery final prostheses, they had repeated follow-up for checking management.

전치부 발치 증례에서 기존의 통상적인 보철 시술은 발치 후 발치창이 치유되기까지 최소 1 개월 이상을 심미적 결함을 안고서 기다려 한다는 불편함이 있었다. 발치 부위의 치조제는 수평, 수직적 흡수가 일어나 차후 보철물 pontic design에 악영향을 미치게 되어 심미적 결함뿐 아니라 발음, 구강 청결의 측면에서도 좋지 않은 결과를 미치게된다. 그러나, 발치 직후 ovate pontic을 이용한 immediate fixed restoration으로 수복하면, 치아 상실로 인한 환자의 기능적 심미적 불편함을 해소하고, 치료 과정은 물론 치료 후에도 보다 나은 심미 치료가 가능하며, 치료의 공백 기간 없이 치료 기간을 줄일 수 있다.

Clinical therapy that combines full-mouth rehabilitation with immediate implantation and orthognathic surgery poses a challenge to prosthodontists. This clinical report describes a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of a patient presenting with skeletal discrepancy and rampant caries. The results thus achieved indicate that full-mouth rehabilitation by fixed immediate and early loading implantation accompanied by orthognathic surgery can be a predictable and effective treatment procedure.

The most important factor in the treatment of fully edentulous patients using implants is the shape of the definitive prosthesis. After the shape of the definitive prosthesis is determined, residual bone analysis and selection of the implant type, number and position should be followed. In this case, for restoration of an edentulous patient fully implanted (except the maxillary right lateral incisor) without considering definitive prosthesis, facial esthetics and possibility of fixed type prosthesis were evaluated using complete denture. It was determined that the fixed type prosthesis was possible. Implants that could not be used for the definitive prosthesis were excluded from the treatment plan and fixed type provisional restorations were fabricated. After four months of provisional restorations, the patient showed stable occlusion and esthetic satisfaction. Definitive prosthesis was made of zirconia using CAD/CAM (computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing). The results were satisfactory during the 3 months of follow-up period after termination of treatment.

The object of this clinical study was to evaluate the short-term outcome of modified resin-bonded fixed partial dentures which utilizes the original tooth undercuts and different path of insertion of components. Materials and methods: 71 units of modified RBFPDs that were used in 21 patients at the Department of Prosthodontics, College of Dentistry, Yonsei University were evaluated. The follow-up period was up to 25 months, the mean being 7 months. Survival rate, mobility, percussion, probing depth, bleeding on probing, plaque index was recorded and radiographs were taken to monitor alveolar bone loss. Results & Conclusion: Within the limits of this short term retrospective study, it was concluded that: 1. No mechanical failure such as debonding or fracture of the framework was found during the follow-up period. 2. The periodontal apparatus was stable and no clinical change was observed after prosthetic treatment. 3. No significant marginal bone loss was found in the radiographic evaluation.

$Br{\aa}nemark^{\prime}s$ original protocol required 4 to 6 months for implant osseointegration before placement of the definitive prosthesis. Although this approach gave very predictable results, it had certain drawbacks. The main disadvantages of this approach were prolonged treatment time, two surgical procedures, placement of a removable prosthesis that required modifications during the course of treatment, and a greater number of appointments. Immediate implant loading is a viable treatment method for selected cases. One of the greatest advantages of this method is the virtual surgery, which precedes the actual clinical treatment and eliminates any need for last minute decisions. The actual surgery time is decreased, since all steps are predetermined. These advantages aren't only more useful for normal patients but also for the mental retardation patients whose cooperation is difficult. This article presents a clinical approach made possible due to the guided implant surgery and CAD/CAM technique.

Diagnosis and analysis of occlusal relationships are important factors in prosthetic treatment. A thorough occlusion analysis and evaluation should be performed before treatment to restore a stable interocclusal relationship. Analysis and evaluation are essential during the treatment process and at regular follow-ups. Recently, with the development of dental equipment and digital processing methods, new quantitative analysis methods that can record the patient's occlusal relationship have been introduced. Among them, the T-Scan Novus (Tekscan Inc., S. Boston, MA, USA) displays the strength of the initial contact point and the occlusal contact point of the teeth using a pressure sensor. With this, occlusal contact time of the teeth, anteroposterior and left-right balance of occlusal force can be compared. The Dental prescale II (GC Co., Tokyo, Japan) scans the occlusal contact point using a pressure-sensing film and analyzes the density of the contact point. It can measure the distribution and strength of the occlusal force of the teeth in the most natural occlusion state. Based on this, appropriate prosthetic treatment (four-unit fixed partial denture, removable partial denture, complete denture, and complete oral restoration cases) was performed according to the area and extent of the patient's tooth loss. The patient's occlusion at the first visit, treatment stage, right after treatment, and regular follow-up were compared and evaluated using a quantitative method for appropriate occlusion analysis using T-Scan Novus and Dental prescale II. This report enhances the understanding of occlusion analysis during prosthetic restoration. The results satisfied both the clinician and patients in terms of function and aesthetics.
