가철성 국소의치를 사용하는 환자의 잔존 치아가 우식, 마모, 부식, 파절 등의 이유로 보철 수복이 필요한 경우가 있다. 가철성 국소의치의 구조물과 접촉하는 부분이 많은 지대치의 보철 수복이 필요한 경우, 서베이드 크라운을 제작 후 가철성 국소의치를 새로 제작하는 것이 통상적인 방법이다. 이럴 경우, 환자가 적응하기까지 오랜 시간이 걸리고, 시간적, 경제적 비용이 발생한다. 한편, 손상된 치아 외에 구강 내 다른 부분에서 가철성 국소의치의 지지, 유지 및 안정을 일부분 제공하는 경우 기존 국소의치의 사용은 임상적으로 양호하다. 이 때 기존 국소의치를 유지하면서 해당 치아를 보철 수복한다면, 환자는 불편과 비용을 줄이면서 기존 가철성 국소의치를 사용할 수 있다. 이처럼 국소의치에 맞추어 보철을 제작하는 retrofit crown 제작과정에서 Computer Aided Design-Computer Aided Manufacturing(CAD-CAM)의 발전과 지르코니아의 물리적 성질이 개선되면서 디지털 방식이 적용되고 있다. 본 증례는 하악에서 가철성 국소의치를 사용하는 환자의 지대치가 심하게 마모되어 국소의치에 맞추어 지르코니아 크라운을 제작한 케이스로, 환자와 술자 모두 만족하는 결과를 얻었기에 본 증례를 보고하는 바이다.

국소의치 장착자에서 2차 우식 등의 문제가 발생하여 지대치 치료 후 크라운 재수복이 필요한 경우가 있다. 기존 국소의치가 잘 기능하고 있고 환자가 여러 가지 원인으로 국소의치를 새로 제작할 수 없을 경우에는 기존 국소의치에 맞도록 지대치 보철물을 제작해야 한다. 그러나 이 과정은 기술적으로 난이도가 높고, 기공과정이 복잡하다. 국소의치를 지지하는 지대치에 합병증이 발생하기 전의 원본 모형이 있고 참고점이 될 수 있는 다른 치아들을 포함하고 있다면, CAD/CAM을 이용하여 retrofitting 보철물을 매우 간단하고 효율적으로 제작할 수 있다. 본 증례는 지대치의 포스트, 코어 및 보철물이 복합적으로 탈락하여 내원한 환자에서, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)을 이용해 기존 국소의치에 맞는 보철물을 제작하였고 높은 적합도와 조정 과정의 최소화 등 만족스러운 결과를 얻어 이를 보고하는 바이다.

본 증례는 요양병원에 입원치료 중인 환자에서 치과에 내원하기 힘든 점과 의치 분실이 많은 점을 고려하여 내원 횟수를 감소시키고 재제작이 쉬운 CAD-CAM 총의치를 제작하였다. 환자가 적응한 기존 임시의치의 형태 및 수직고경, 악간관계를 최종의치 제작에 반영하기 위해 기존 임시의치를 스캔하고 프린팅한 개인트레이로 폐구인상을 채득하였다. UTS CAD를 이용하여 디지털 안궁이전하고 CAD 소프트웨어에서 치아배열 후 상하악 총의치를 단일 구조의 디스크로 의치상과 인공치를 한번에 절삭하여 제작하였다.

As Korea is entering an aging society, the number of elderly people who need new denture or who have problems with their existing denture or adjacent tissue is increasing and it will double in 2018. Therefore, denture clinician system will lessen patients financial burden and introduce market economy to the dental prosthesis field. Therefore, Korea needs to adopt denture clinician system as soon as possible as USA or Canada to increase people s accessibility in quality and quantity. Denture clinician will determine the size and shape of denture after performing oral examination, make impression using various materials, fabricate denture, deliver and adjust completed denture to the patient, repair denture, and carry out financial management in the denture fabricating company or manage human resources. Considering denture clinicians services, American and European education system seems to be close to our system. Therefore, in this study, basic curriculums of several countries in Europe and America were reviewed and curriculum that meets Korean situation was suggested.

본 증례는 기존 의치를 스캔 후 프린팅한 복제 의치를 폐구인상시 개인트레이로 사용하였고 이에 기공 과정을 줄이고, 진료시간을 단축시킬 수 있었으며, 안모 평가가 용이하고 치아 배열을 비롯한 총의치 제작과정에 있어 기공 과정이 원활하게 이뤄질 수 있었다. 또한 일반적인 개구인상법을 이용한 제작과정에 비해 내원 횟수를 줄일 수 있었으며 기존 의치의 수직고경을 비롯한 여러 정보를 의치 제작 시 활용함으로써 환자의 새 의치 적응도를 높일 수 있었다.

The need for repairing removable dentures has grown as the population had aged. The direct methods allow existing dentures to be repaired without interrupting their use. However, if patient compliance is low, direct methods may be challenging. Moreover, attaching an artificial tooth to a metal base is a complicated procedure because it necessitates casting a retentive element and soldering it to a metal base. This clinical report describes how to add an artificial tooth to a metal base, reline denture bases, and reestablish occlusion on relined removable dentures using indirect methods. Existing removable dentures were successfully repaired and their service life was efficiently extended using the methods described.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there is any typical deformation pattern existing in complete denture when it was dried by using the 3D scanner and surface matching program. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 28 denture bases were fabricated with heat curing acrylic resin (each 14 upper and lower denture bases), and 14 denture bases (each 7 upper and lower denture bases) were stored in the water bottle (water stored), and another 14 denture bases were stored in the air (dry stored). Each specimen was scanned at $1^{st}$ day after deflasking, $14^{th}$ day after deflasking, and $28^{th}$ day after deflasking, and digitalized. Three dimensional deformation patterns were acquired by comparison of the data within storage group using surface matching program. For evaluating differences between groups, these data were compared statisticallyusing Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney-U test (${\alpha}$=.05). RESULTS. When evaluating 3D deformation of denture base, obvious deformations were not found in maxillary and mandibular water storage group. However, in dry stored group, typical deformation pattern was detected as storage time passes. It occurred mostly in first two weeks. Major deformations were found in the bilateral posterior area in both maxillary and mandibular group. In maxillary dry stored group, a statistical significance was found. CONCLUSION. It was proved that in both upper and lower denture bases, dry storage caused more dimensional deformation than water storage with typical pattern.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the number of existing permanent teeth and the denture usage status in elderly adults aged 65 years and above living in metropolitan cities and to confirm the degree of oral health inequality caused by the differences in oral conditions in each metropolitan city using the Lorenz curve and the Gini coefficient. Methods: The raw data for the analysis were obtained from the dataset of the sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between 2013 and 2015. The subjects included 1,764 people who underwent oral examination and answered questions. The complex samples general linear model was used to analyze the number of existing permanent teeth adjusted for age and monthly household income. The proportion of edentulousness and the denture status was analyzed using complex samples crosstabs. Results: The number of existing permanent teeth in the elderly adults aged 65 years and above was lowest in Ulsan (15.41) and highest in Gwangju (20.44). The proportion of edentulousness was highest in Busan (14.5%) and lowest in Daejeon (4.0%). With regard to the proportion of denture users, Busan had the highest tendency for denture usage (50.4%) and Gwangju had the lowest tendency (34.9) (p=0.172). The Gini's coefficient for the number of existing teeth was lowest in Busan (0.332). Oral health inequality was most severe in metropolitan cities. Conclusions: We found that oral health inequality exists among elderly adults living in the metropolitan cities of Korea using the Lorenz curve and Gini's coefficient.

Currently, computer-aided technology becomes one of main issues in clinical dentistry. About 25 years ago, the development of dental CAD/CAM systems for the fabrication of crowns and fixed partial dentures leads to be able to fabricate complete denture today. The fabrication of milled complete denture prostheses with digital scanning technology may decrease the number of patient appointments. However, the precise tooth arrangement and evaluation by patient is not promising relatively. The purpose of this review was to analyze the existing literature on computer aided technology for fabricating complete denture with historical background, current status, and future perspectives. In addition, two available commercial systems were introduced.

Sometimes in clinic, we have found that cast crown construction is necessary to fit the existing partial denture clasp, when the abutment is involved with caries, a failing restoration, periodontal disease, or fracture. This is important not only to protect the abutment tooth from missing, but to restore retention, bracing and support for partial denture. For constructing the cast crown, several methods have been reported by many of previous authors. The number of techniques reported during the past are ideal but have uncertain results However, with more improved and practical technic developed by me, the problem becomes more successful. One method in which does not need the laboratory technecian is the wax pattern has been made in chairside waxing by doctor himself. The other in which requires the laboratory technician is to use special impression method and articulator for laboratory waxing. In one case of the reported here, we have successful results in restoring the abutment with cast crown for original denture clasp.
