In an edentulous situation, the dentist must make several determinations when constructing artificial teeth. These include vertical and horizontal relationships of mandible with respect to the maxilla, occlusal form and position, vertical dimension, occlusal relationships during both centric closure and eccentric excursive movements. Artificial teeth are attached to a movable base resting on movable and displaceable living tissue subject to damage. They act as a unit; therefore, they must be arranged to function as a unit. Bilateral balanced occlusion is that stability of the denture is attained when bilateral contacts ex ist throughout all dynamic and static states of the denture during function. Lateral excursion in a balanced scheme implies simultaneous working side and nonworking side contact, while occlusal contacts are maintained on both anterior and posterior teeth as the mandible moves anteriorly into protrusion.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the magnitude and mode of the stress distribution induced in the supporting alveolar bone and periodontal ligament and, to determine the displacement of abutment teeth and telescope denture base by applying chewing force to the telescope denture quantitatively and qualitatively. Two finite element models of telescope denture that were restored the missing mandibular second molar with two abutment teeth which were constructed. In two different models, parallel and tapering type telescope crowns were constructed. These finite element models of two cases used for these experiment were a two-dimensional mesiodistal section of the mandibular second bicuspid and first molar. Chewing force of 25Kg that was devided in the ratio of 45/155 (29%) in bicuspid and 55/155 (35.5%) in molars was applied to telescope denture and abutment teeth respectively. The displacement of the telescope denture base and abutment teeth and the stress distribution in the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone were analized to investigate the influence of chewing force acting on the telescope denture and abutment teeth. The results were as follows: 1. Abutment teeth displaced mesially and the magnitude of displacement of abutment teeth in vertical direction were more than that of horizontal direction in two cases. The displacement of abutment teeth on the telescope denture treated with tapering type telescope crown were less than that of the parallel type crown. 2. The displacement of the telescope denture base that were treated with parallel type telescope crown were less than that of treated with tapering type telescope crown. 3. The stress induced in the alveolar bone and periodontal ligament on abutment teeth that treated with parallel type telescope crown were more than that of treated with tapering type telescope crown and more stress induced in the alveolar bone than in the periodontal ligament. 4. In the telescope denture, the magnitude of displacement of abutment teeth and stress induced in the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone were within physiologic limit.

The arrangement of anterior artificial teeth is an important factor on the esthetics in the construction of complete denture and prosthesis. During construction of the complete denture the position of maxillary central incisor plays an important role in the arrangements of artificial teeth. The proper position of maxillary central incisor provides natural appearance of anterior teeth and the anterior reference point of occlusal plane. Many methods have been utilized to eatablish the position of the maxillary central incisor in complete denture prosthodontics. However, there has not been provided for the reference for Korean yet. This study was aimed to extablish the position of the maxillary central inciosr in Korean. The horizontal and vertical distance between the maxillary central incisor and incisive papilla in korean were measured. The results were as follows : 1. The mean value of horizontal distance from the maxillary central incisor to the incisive papilla had significant sexual difference, the average distance was 12.648mm (male), 11.385mm(female). 2. The horizontal distance of incisive papilla had sexual difference, the average distance was 6.182mm(male), 5.622mm(female). 3. The vertical distance from the maxillary central incisor to the incisive papilla had not sexual difference, the average distance was 7.21mm. 4. The crown length of maxillary central inciosrs from the distal interdental papilla had not sexual difference, the right central incisor was 6.40mm(mean) and the left central inciosr was 6.43mm(mean). 5. The clinical crown length of the maxillary central incisors had not sexual difference, the right central incisor 10.35mm(mean) and the left central incisor was 10.43mm(mean). 6. The anatomic shapes of incisive papilla were pear(68.4%), oval(16%), triangular(6%), irregular(5%), rectangular(4%), and inverted pear(1%) shape.

Certain malocclusion are associated with specific "facial type," and it is important for the clinician to classify the common facial characteristic of each patient. Because the reaction to treatment mechanics and the stability of the denture is depended upon the analysis of the facial pattern. Basically, there are 3 district facial types or patterns under which almost all malocclusion can be classified. 1. mesofacial is the most average growth. 2. brachyfacial which is a horizontal growth pattern has a week muscle, with dental arch, deep bite. 3. dolichofacial which is a vertical growth pattern has a strong muscle, narrow dental arch, open bite. Brachyfacial pattern show a resistant to mandibular rotation during treatment can accept a more protrusive denture and are prominantly nonextraction, whereas dolichofacial patterns tend to open during treatment require a more retracted denture in order to assure post-treatment stability. Brachyfacial pattern would better treat to use extrusive force system, whereas dolichofacial pattern treat to use intrusive force system with head gear and intermaxillary elastics.

This report describes the case of an edentulous patient with an atrophic maxilla and severe class III malocclusion. Prosthetic rehabilitation was performed using CAD/CAM techniques for manufacturing an implant-supported overdenture with horizontal insertion. A vestibulo-lingual insertion overdenture is a precision prosthesis with a fixation system affording a good fit between the primary and secondary structure. Both structures exhibit passive horizontal adjustment. This treatment option requires the same number of implants as implant-supported fixed dentures. The horizontal assembly system prevents the prosthesis from loosening or moving in response to axial and non-axial forces. The technique was used to rehabilitate a patient presenting an atrophic upper maxilla, with the insertion of 8 implants. No complications were reported at follow-up 3, 6 and 12 months after fitting of the prosthesis. This system offers solutions to the clinical and laboratory complications associated with hybrid prostheses, concealing emergence of the chimneys and improving implant-prosthesis hygiene.

Overdenture has the advantage of improving the stability and retention of the denture but the abutment may be easily affected by caries or periodontal disease and the thin denture can be easily broken. The magnetic attachment overdenture has a high vertical retention but a low horizontal retention, thus, exerting a less disruptive force to the abutment or implant and shows less abrasion or damage compared to other mechanical retainers. Denture fractures in overdenture is caused by the thin denture base as the attachment is inserted, but it may also be caused by the difference in detrusion between soft tissue and hard tissue, and between an implant and a natural tooth. To compensate this shortcoming, a magnetic attachment with a silicone ball inserted in the magnet was developed as we report a successful case using this specific type of magnetic attachment overdenture.

Complete denture occlusion must be developed to function efficiently and with the least amount of trauma to the supporting tissues. For the preservation of supporting tissues, it is imperative to reduce to a minimum the functional stress induced by dentures. The magnitude of the horizontal component of functional stress contributed by various occlusal teeth forms has not been studied. This study was aimed to investigate the influence of different occlusal teeth forms on the mode of distribution of the stresses in the mandibular tissue, and the displacement of lower dentures during the variant functional movement of mandible for this study three dimensional finite element analysis was used. FEM models were created using commercial software Super Sap for IBM 32 bit computer. The model was composed of 3380 brick elements and 4346 nodes. The results were as follows. 1. The magnitude of stress was similar between two models in centric occlusion, in the case of anatomic model, the stress was concentrated on the buccal side of alveolar ridge beneath the bicuspids. 2. During the protrusive movement, the increasing of stress from the posterior to anterior part of mandible was seen in the case of anatomic model. 3. During the lateral movement, the stress of anatomic model was greater than that of nonanatomic model. 4. The stress of anatomic model was concentrated on the anterior region of residual ridge during the lateral movement. 5. In the case of anatomic model the anterior part of denture was displaced severely at the centric and lateral position, but the denture of nonanatomic model was displaced minutely at the protrusive and lateral position.

This experimental study is perform to study the effect of the direction for the centrifugal force in operating centrifugal casting machine. In order to investigate the effect of direction for centrifugal force action on the casting ability 20 pieces of specimen are produced including one vertical direction and four horizontal directions. Casting shows us that the 15 pieces of specimen among them are included within $\pm$16. The results obtained through the comparison with 5 groups of the casting ability are as follows: 1. In the experiment of the casting, statistically significant difference are found between the vertical direction and the group of horizontal direction, namely, the direction of 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock, and also statistically there are significant differences between the direction of 9 o'clock and of 6 o'clock, and between the direction of 9 o'clock and of 12 o'clock which lie between the groups of horizontal directions. 2. The degree of casting ability is showing us on an average, 23.80 in the vertical direction. And also in the group of horizontal direction it prove in turn 15.60 in the direction of 9 o'clock, 14.47 of 3 o'clock, 13.30 of 12 o'clock, and 12.80 of 6 o'clock.
