Flabby tissue is not rare for denture wearers. Mucostatic impression technique is necessary due to compromised retention and stability of denture resulting from distortion of mobile flabby tissue. In this report, individual tray was fabricated by model-scanning and 3D printing treatment denture. And then, mucostatic impression for flabby tissue was obtained by using individual tray modified with window technique. Definitive denture was fabricated based on information of treatment denture including incisal pontic arrangement, jaw relationship and occlusion.

Patients with Down's syndrome have several dental complications such as small teeth caused by underdevelopment of dentin and enamel, periodontitis, agenesis of teeth, prolonged retention of primary teeth and malocclusion due to narrow palate. Removable denture with maxillary double crowns would be a good treatment option to solve the problems of the patient with Down's syndrome. Double crowns compensate the insufficient support and retention of denture and easily solve the cross bite problem. Double crowns also allow easy repair of denture in case of abutment teeth extraction. In this case, 26-year-old female patient with Down's syndrome and dental phobia had small number of teeth with enamel hypoplasia, prolonged retention of primary teeth and dental cross bite. Prosthetic treatment was done using removable denture with double crowns in the maxilla. In the mandible, teeth preparation was done on enamel margin without anesthesia. Anterior laminate and posterior complete zirconia crown restorations were performed. As a result, the cross bite was effectively corrected by denture with double crowns. Pronunciation and appearance were also improved without extraction of teeth and dental anesthesia.

The purpose of this study was to restorate a patient who has a few remaining teeth with #15,23,24 supported Konus telescope denture in Maxillar and #44,43,33,34 supported Dolder bar retained overdenture in Mandible. Konus telescope and bar retained overdenture was taken better results in retention, support, stability compair with regular Removable partial denture. In Removable partial denture, the change of remaining teeth and edentulous ridge is natural. But Konus telescope and bar retained overdenture is a little effected in this change, so it is possiblble in long-term use. In cosider of patient's medical history and the possibility of additional tooth loss, Konus telescope denture can be easily repaired. Compaired with Konus telescope and bar retained overdenture showed high stability and easy cleansing because of rigid support, cross - arch splinting, and simple design. In delivery, patient had a difficulty with removal of denture and plaque control, but showed better condition, good oral hygienic care. Patient satisfied with denture functionally and esthetically. This study showed Konus telescope and bar retained overdenture was effective for treatment of patient remaing a few teeth in function, esthetic and psycologic satisfaction.

The purpose of this study is to introduce how to make implant supported over denture with Oring. Many kinds of attachments have used to dental restorations. The application of attachment has widely increased implant fixed prosthesis and implant supported over denture. In order that implant supported over denture have properly retention, generally used O-ring, magnetic, bar attachment. O-ring give us an advantage that is required more minimum vertical dimension than bar-type and easily replace with new part. When we make these prosthesis using O-ring, Bar, Ball attachment, we should following procedures. Strong occlusion force leads to fracture of over denture because part of functional mechanism as implant abutment or attachment is spaced. Clips are regularly activated. O-ring and springs are changed every year. The pattern of resorption should be carefully monitored and compensated for by relining procedures. If the over denture appears to rest on the bar or the ball attachments, relining should be performed and clips/caps should be changed.

Objectives : The conventional removable appliance, composed of wires and acrylic resin, had unaesthetic results and poor retention. The flexible denture, as an alternative, presents improved aesthetics with the thin and strong resin retentive area. In addition, it also enhances patients' sensory function as a result of decreased volume of denture base. The flexibility of the flexible denture reduces the possibility of fracture and distributes the masticatory forces transmitted to the abutments and residual bone tissue. This report describes a 10-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy with oligodontia treated with the flexible dentures as an alternative to conventional removable appliances. Methods : Impression was taken using alginate material and sent to a laboratory with the bite for fabrication of the flexible denture. Prior to try-in, the flexible denture was immersed in water at $90^{\circ}C$ for one minute and cooled. Impinging area of the denture was checked by $Fit-Checker^{(R)}$ and removed and the denture was delivered to the patient. Results : Both patients were satisfied with the flexible dentures, which presented improved retention and aesthetics. Conclusion : For patients with oligodontia, flexible dentures can be considered as a treatment of choice, which may replace the conventional denture.

Purpose: In this study, Spreadability of denture adhesive in accordance with the saturation level of saliva, respectively, by using the resin plate and the glass was measured thickness and Spreadability. Methods: Examine the spreadability of denture adhesive in accordance with the saturation level of saliva, respectively, by using the resin plate and the glass was measured thickness and Spreadability. Also, by measuring the adhesive strength according to the amount of saliva, and the edentulous patients using denture adhesive and dry mouth patients attempt to provide clinical information of the denture adhesive. Therefore, by using the relatively low shrinkage cold curing resin, after fabricating specimen of plate form, for 7 days, it was immersed in water. Results: For the control group only denture adhesive, an artificial saliva for the experimental group were injected in $0.1m{\ell}$, $0.2m{\ell}$ and $0.3m{\ell}$ of the denture adhesive on the surface, experimental results of the investigation of the 10 times the tensile bond strength of the specimens in each group was obtained the following results. Conclusion: As the time to pressure increase in the same amount of saliva was found that the amount coming out of the denture adhesive, as the amount of saliva in the same pressure increase coming out of many denture adhesives. And the greater the pressure came out a lot of denture adhesives. Spreadability in measuring saliva contact with $0.1m{\ell}$ and $2m{\ell}$ and $3m{\ell}$ group pressured the diameter of the circular was the denture adhesive is small when compared to the group without adding the pressure of 2kg and 3kg put the saliva. The size of the circle is the same amount of saliva denture adhesive spread more pressure showed a greater increase.

Loss of multiple teeth by multiple dental caries, traumatic influence or hereditable disease can cause many problem in children. Using removable appliance can be used for treatment of this problem. But conventional removable appliance has limits of retention by wire-clasp, non esthetic appearance, difficulty in pronunciation by its volume. Flexible denture using $Valplast^{(R)}$ system could be a excellent partial denture for restorarion in child because of various advantage such as retention from soft tissue, natural esthetic aspect, biocompatibility, durability to compare with conventional acrylic appliance. The present case report describe properties and consideration of flexible denture using Valplast $system^{(R)}$ in comparison with conventional acrylic appliance and report successful restoration of child using Valplast $system^{(R)}$.

In general, the three major oral functions of edentulous patients-mastication, phonation, esthetics-can be rehabilitated by the complete dentures, and both the resin based complete denture and the metal based complete denture are commonly used by many clinicians today. For the sake of many advantages such as the excellent thermal conductivity, low volumetric change, high strength, low risk of fracture and the better patient's adaptation, the metal based complete dentures are indicated to the several cases. But, there are common failures of these type of dentures mainly by the fracture or the debonding between the resin structures and the metal frameworks which is caused by the discrepancies of the flexural strength and the coefficient of thermal expansion. This is aggravated by the water contamination of the interface when exposed to the oral environment and results in the failure of complete denture treatment. So, the purpose of this study is to compare the bond strength and the fracture patterns of the gold alloy based and the Co-Cr alloy based complete dentures using the PMMA resins and the 4-META adhesive resins. The results of this study were as follows. 1. Both to the PMMA resin and the 4-META resin, the flexural bond strength of gold alloy is lower than that of Co-Cr alloy(P<0.05) 2. To the Co-Cr alloy, the bond strength of the 4-META resin is significantly higher than that of PMMA resin(P<0.05). 3. The flexural strength of the group with the mechanical retention form is significantly higher than that of the group without retention form(P<0.05). 4. Comparing with the other groups, the fracture patterns of the group 3 are quite different from the group 1,2,5.

The role of the posterior palatal seal is important in retention of the maxillary complete denture. After taking the final impression, additional retention can be given to the maxillary denture through a mechanical method of forming a groove on master cast, but this is often overlooked in the clinical process. As a result, the posterior palatal seal is formed in a uniform way by the technician without considering the individual characteristics of the patient. Until now, various types of posterior palatal seal have been introduced by many people. This case report describes the process of manufacturing the maxillary complete denture by determining the position and form of an appropriate posterior palatal seal after considering the patient's anatomical palatal form and tissue displacement during function.
