PURPOSE. This study evaluated the availability of multi-directionally forged (MDF) titanium (Ti) as a component of removable partial dentures (RPDs). MDF-Ti remarkably improved the mechanical properties of RPDs due to its ultrafine-grained structure. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The wear resistance, plaque adhesion, and machinability of MDF-Ti were tested. As controls, commercially pure (CP) titanium was used for wear, plaque adhesion, and machinability tests. For wear resistance, the volume losses of the titanium teeth before and after wear tests were evaluated. Plaque adhesion was evaluated by the assay of Streptococcus mutans. In the machinability test, samples were cut and ground by a steel fissure bur and carborundum (SiC) point. An unpaired t-test was employed for the analysis of the significant differences between MDF-Ti and the control in the results for each test. RESULTS. Wear resistance and plaque adherence of MDF-Ti similar to those of CP-Ti (P>.05) were indicated. MDF-Ti exhibited significantly larger volume loss than CP-Ti in all conditions except 100/30,000 g/rpm in machinability tests (P<.05). CONCLUSION. Although the wear resistance and plaque adherence of MDF-Ti were comparable to those of controls, MDF-Ti showed better machinability than did CP-Ti. MDF-Ti could be used as a framework material for RPDs.

목적: 이 연구의 목적은 가철성 의치 장착 여부와 우울증의 연관성을 평가하는 것이다. 가철성 의치를 장착한 군과 가철성 의치의 장착이 필요하나 사용하지 않은 군으로 구분하여 각 군과 우울증의 관련성에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 국민건강영양조사(Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, KNHNES) 제 7기 원시자료를 활용하였다. 가철성 의치의 장착에 관한 자료로는 구강검진자료 중 보철물 상태, 보철물 필요 여부에 관한 변수를 이용하여 가철성 의치를 사용하고 있는 군, 가철성 의치가 필요한 군으로 분류하였다. 그리고 우울증에 관한 변수로는 PHQ-9의 값을 활용하여 정상(0-4), 경증 우울증(5-9), 중등도 우울증(10-19), 중증 우울증(20-27)로 구분하였다. 통계 분석은 SAS 9.4를 이용하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 결과: 가철성 의치 장착 필요군에서, 가철성 의치를 장착하고 있는 군과 비교하여 중증 우울증의 위험이 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 결론: 가철성 의치를 이용한 치료는 다수의 치아를 상실한 환자에게 중증 우울증 발병의 가능성을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

PURPOSE. This study aims to assess and predict lifespan of dental prostheses using newly developed Korean Association of Prosthodontics (KAP) criteria through a large-scale, multi-institutional survey. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Survey was conducted including 16 institutions. Cox proportional hazards model and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to find out relevant factors and predict life expectancy. RESULTS. 1,703 fixed and 815 removable prostheses data were collected and evaluated. Statistically significant factors in fixed prosthesis failure were plaque index and material type, with a median survival of 10 to 18 years and 14 to 20 years each. In removable prosthesis, factors were national health insurance coverage, antagonist type, and prosthesis type (complete or partial denture), with median survival of 10 to 13 years, 11 to 14 years, and 10 to 15 years each. For still-usable prostheses, PCA analysis predicted an additional 3 years in fixed and 4.8 years in removable prosthesis. CONCLUSION. Life expectancy of a prosthesis differed significantly by factors mostly controllable either by dentist or a patient. Overall life expectancy was shown to be longer than previous research.

This study was peformed to investigate the distribution and magnitude of stress at supporting tissue of abutment teeth and residual ridge tissue with remaining unilateral posterior teeth. Four types of removable partial dentures that included clasp retained removable partial denture, attachment retained removable partial denture, telescopic removable partial denture, and swing-lock partial denture were designed, and strain gauge was used for stress analysis. Each prosthesis was subjected to simulated vertical and oblique load. The following conclusions were drawn from this study. 1. The clasp retained removable partial denture generally distributed simulated vertical force more evenly to the supporting structure. 2. The stress at buccal side of 1st premolar was the lowest in swing-lock partial denture and that was highest in attchment retained removable partial denture. The stress at lingual side of 1st premolar was the lowest in telescopic partial denture. 3. In clasp retained removable partial denture, stress was lower at load site and ridge crest at mid-line, but it was higher at 1st premolar area on vertical load. 4. In attachment removable partial denture, stresses at buccal side of 1st premolar. lingual side of 1st premolar on vertical load, and ridge crest at midline on oblique load were higher. 5. In telescopic removable partial denture, stress at lingual side of 1st premolar was the least in all removable partial dentures, but the stress at load site was higher. 6. In swing-lock removable partial denture, stress at buccal side of 1st premolar was the lowest, and stresses at load site and distal end of residual ridge crest were higher.

There were many studies that distribute the partial edentulous states and examine the removable partial denture designs in the planning of removable partial denture treatment. This study was performed in the point of removable partial denture prescription to evaluate partial edentulism and its removable partial denture designs. The data was collected from the dental laboratory of each three dental colleges in Seoul and from two dental laboratories only for removable partial dentures as a prescription form. A total of 1411 cases with prescription form collected from dental laboratories were distributed for this study, then 788 cases were selected for this study. The case selection was done according to the contents of prescription form. The selected cases were divided into maxillary arch and mandibular and classified in terms of types of major connector and direct retainer, unbroken anterior teeth, Kennedy classification, the number of remaining teeth, and distribution of age and sex. The analyzed results were as follows : 1. The Kennedy classification I showed highest frequency both in maxilla and mandible. 2. The arch distribution of removable partial denture was 50.08% for maxilla and 49.92% for mandible. 3. The highest frequency in the distribution of direct retainer was the RPA clasp design. 4. The frequency of unbroken anterior 6 was 73.36% for maxilla and 82.30% for mandible. 5. The design of broad palatal strap and lingual bar revealed the highest prevalence in the major connector construction. 6. The mean number of remaining teeth per arch was 8.25 for maxilla and 8.37 for mandible. 7. The mean age of the patients supplied with removable partial denture was 52.25 years for men, 51.68 years for women, 52.11 years for maxilla, and 51.76 years for mandible and women showed more prevalence.

In crossed occlusion, displacement of removable partial denture is likely to occur during function due to different characteristics of abutment and supporting tissue. It increases discomfort to the patient. In addition, adverse effect on the residual ridge and abutment can induce an unfavorable prognosis of the denture. In this case, a small number of implants can be placed in strategic locations. Attachment can be added for additional support and retention of removable partial denture assisted by implants. This article describes the rehabilitation of a crossed occlusion patient using implant-assisted removable partial denture with Locator$^{(R)}$ attachment. After 24 months, the patient was satisfied with the aesthetic and function of the prosthesis that is maintained stable.

BACKGROUND. Though implant dentistry is very successful and predictable in treatment of patients with destroyed dentition, there are some cases with limitations to implant therapy. In these cases, alternative treatment modality should be considered. CASE DESCRIPTION. A patient with destroyed dentition was rehabilitated with a lateral rotational path removable partial denture. According to the diagnosis, we determined to raise vertical dimension for esthetic and functional restoration. The final restoration was performed after four months of provisional period. CLINICAL IMPLICATION. The edentulous patients with compromised esthetics and functions can be successfully treated with a rotational path removable partial denture through adequate treatment planning and precise laboratory procedure.

CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) 기술을 이용한 인레이 및 여러 고정성 보철물의 제작이 보편화되고 구강내 스캐너가 널리 보급되면서 디지털 치의학의 개념이 치과 보철학 분야 전반에 적용되고 있다. 그러나 가철성 보철 부분에서는 디지털 개념의 적용이 쉽지 않으며 기존의 주조 방식에 많이 의존하고 있다. 따라서 가철성 보철물의 제작 과정에 이런 개념을 적용해보려는 시도는 중요한 의미가 있다. 본 증례에서는 하악 Kennedy class III 무치악 환자에서 보철적, 심미적 요구에 의한 교합고경의 증가와 함께 CAD 및 쾌속조형술(RP, rapid prototyping)을 이용한 가철성 국소의치를 제작하였다. CAD를 이용하여 서베잉 및 국소의치 금속 구조물을 설계하였으며, 쾌속조형술은 금속 구조물을 주조하기 위한 레진 패턴 제작에 이용하였다. 9개월 간의 임상적 관찰 기간 동안 만족스러운 심미적, 기능적 결과를 얻어 이를 보고하고자 한다.
