Traditionally, gingival retraction has been performed to obtain customized abutment impressions with subgingival margins of the implant supported prosthesis. However, gingival retraction may have side effects such as gingival recession and bleed, leading to an inaccurate impression. In order to prevent these problems, in this case, the new technique has been introduced; a customized abutment which is designed for superimposition is used. Before the connection of the abutment to the implant fixture, pre-scanned shape data are stored, and then the optical impression without gingival retraction is obtained after connecting to the fixture. The suprastructure is fabricated by superimposing the two data. This technique showed the clinical efficacy of fabricating the implant supported prosthesis with subgingival margin, which satisfied the aesthetics, convenience, and clinically acceptable marginal and internal fit.

To enhance the esthetic appearance, the maxillary anterior area is important. It is possible to improve the esthetic appearance through the treatment of maxillary anterior area, which includes altering the color, form, and arrangement of teeth. When planning these treatments, clinicians should individualize personal demands, by using the information obtained from facial, dento-labial, dental, and gingival analysis. It is essential to properly prepare the gingival structure, which includes the height of gingival margin, the location of zenith, reconstruction of the interdental papillae, emergence profile, and symmetry. Clinicians often face unfavorable condition of the gingiva and the edentulous ridge, and appropriate management of the gingival structure is needed. In this case report, the patients were treated to improve the gingival conditions surrounding maxillary anterior teeth. By using conservative treatment without surgical intervention, such as application of pink porcelain, subgingival contour modelling and modification of pontic base, satisfactory esthetic results were gained.

복합레진에 의한 구치부 2급 와동의 수복에서 치은부 변연이 법랑-백아 경계 하방에 위치하는 경우 복합레진의 중합 수축에 의한 응력은 변연부의 폐쇄능력을 저하시키고 이로인한 미세누출은 2차적인 우식이나 술후과민증을 일으켜 임상에서의 성공을 위협한다. 본 연구에서는 2급 와동에서 복합레진으로 수복하기 전에 치은 변연부를 중합수축에 의한 응력을 완화시킬 수 있는 것으로 알려진 몇가지 재료들을 중간층으로 먼저 충전한 후 충전용 복합레진으로 충전한 뒤 치은부 변연에서 이들 중간층과 치질 사이의 미세누출의 정도를 비교하였다. 20개의 발거된 구치의 근, 원심면에 각각 상자 모양의 2급 와동을 형성하고 40개의 와동을 무작위로 10개씩, 4개의군으로 나누었다. 1군은 중간층의 수복없이 Clearfil SE Bond과 Clearfil AP-X로 충전하였으며 2, 3 및 4군은 중간층으로 각각 Revolution, Dyract그리고 FujiII LG를 먼저 충전한 후 1군과 동일한 방법으로 복합레진을 충전하였다. 충전된 시편은 열순환후 2% methylene blue 용액에 12시간 침잠시킨 후 색소의 침투도를 stereomicroscope로 관찰하였으며 실험결과는 Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric independent analysis 및 Mann-Whitney U test로 통계분석하여 다음의 결론을 얻었다. 1. 레진강화형 글라스아이오노머를 중간층으로 먼저 수복하고 복합레진으로 충전한 경우에서 더 적은 미세누출을 보였다(p<0.05). 2. 유동성 레진과 콤포머를 중간층으로 수복한 경우와 복합레진만으로 수복한 경우는 미세누출에 있어서 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다(p>0.05).

Removal of excess cement is important to prevent biological complication in cementation of implant restoration with subgingival margin. It can be difficult to completely remove excess cement. Several techniques have been introduced to minimize excess cement using abutment replica. In this case report, a simple method for making abutment replica with hot melt adhesive material in dental office was described. This technique is simple and effective because it can be used for pre-fabricated or custom abutment without additional laboratory procedure. In addition, it can minimize excess cement after cementation of implant restoration.

Forced orthodontic eruption(FOE) is a non-surgical treatment approach that allows augmenting both soft- and hard-tissue profiles of potential implant sites, by forced orthodontic extrusion of "hopeless" teeth and their periodontal apparatus. By stretching the gingival and periodontal ligament fibers during extrusion, tension is imparted to the entire alveolar socket, stimulating osseous apposition at the alveolar crest. FOE increases the width of the attached gingiva, and the mucogingival junction remains stable when the gingival margin migrates coronally. Based on these effects, FOE of non-restorable teeth prior to implant placement is a viable alternative to conventional surgical augmentative procedures in implant site development. The aim of this case report is to describes coronal soft-tissue augmentation around fractured teeth, which was achieved by FOE before implant placement.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to provide an anatomical reference for cortical bone and soft tissue thickness, and the attached gingiva width in the mandible. Methods: Fifteen males and fifteen females participated in this study. An acrylic template was fabricated and the radiopaque markers were bonded on the estimated alveolar crest to take measurements of the hard and soft tissue thickness at the same locations. CT images were taken in samples wearing an acrylic template. Cortical bone and soft tissue thickness were measured at 2, 4, 6 and 8 mm from the alveolar crest in interradicular spaces from central incisor to first permanent molar. The attached gingival width was calibrated. Results: Cortical bone thickness was $1.33{\pm}0.38mm$ and soft tissue thickness was $1.49{\pm}0.54mm$. Cortical bone thickness was increased in the posterior area, while it was not the case for the soft tissue thickness. In addition, the total thickness was $2.82{\pm}0.70$. The attached gingival width was wider in the anterior area compared to that in posterior area. Conclusion: These results suggest that the attached gingiva width should be considered upon placement of mini-implants in the mandibular posterior area for orthodontic anchorage.

In this case report, gingival recession of the mandibular anterior teeth was treated with a laterally closed tunnel technique. Two patients had altered the inclination of mandibular anterior tooth during past orthodontic treatment and had periodontal thin biotype. The recipient site was formed by tunneling method, and the connective tissue graft obtained from the palatal side was placed in the tunnel, and the margins of flap were gathered at the center of the root and sutured. Despite the thin periodontal biotype, the root coverage was successfully obtained, keratinized gingiva was increased, and aesthetics were achieved by harmonizing with surrounding tissues in terms of shape and color.

In the treatment of esthetically important areas such as maxillary anterior teeth, they should be corresponded with surrounding tissues, and shape of the smile line, soft tissue, and hard tissue, also the anatomical shape and proportion of the teeth should be considered as well. Esthetic analysis includes facial analysis which evaluates the proper parallelism between the occlusal plane and the horizontal reference line, dentolabial analysis which assesses the position of the incisal edge and the coherence between the occlusal plane and the commissural line, tooth analysis which evaluates not only esthetics but also morphology and appearance for proper function, and gingival analysis which forms ideal outline of gingival margins. A maxillary anterior diastema can be esthetically restored through the systematic diagnostic approach and treatment planning, and orthodontic, prosthetic, and conservative treatment can be applied for the treatment.

A variety of digital technologies are being used throughout the entire implant treatment process of diagnosis, surgery, impression, design, and fabrication of prostheses. In this case, using a digital surgical guide, sinus floor elevation was performed without complications, and the implants were placed in the planned position. After the healing period for osseointegration, CAD-CAM (Computer-aided design-Computer-aided manufacturing) customized abutments and provisional prostheses were delivered. While using the provisional prosthesis, occlusal change was observed. To transfer the intermaxillary relationship and abutment position that reflect occlusal change and axial displacement, double scanning and abutment-level digital impressions were taken. Abutment superimposition was used to capture the subgingival margin without gingival retraction. Then, the definitive prosthesis was designed and fabricated with digital system. We report a case applying digital system, to achieve the predictable result as well as the efficient treatment process from implant surgery to fabricating prosthesis in the posterior area.
