For patients with systemic diseases who face difficulties visiting dental clinics, wearing fixed partial denture in the anterior region on the same day of tooth extraction can reduce the total period of treatment and the number of visits, as well as post-treatment psychological effect on the patient.

In process of fabrication of a fixed partial denture, dies are trimmed to expose margins of the preparations. The need for the soft tissue cast is quite evident as the soft tissue emergence profile that surrounds the prepared tooth is destroyed in the process of fabrication. This article describes a modified technique to fabricate the soft tissue cast for the conventional fixed partial denture. The impression made with the polyvinylsiloxane was first poured to prepare the die cast. After retrieval of the cast, the same impression was poured second time with the resin based resilient material to cover the facial and proximal gingival areas. The remaining portion of the impression was poured with the gypsum material. This technique does not require additional clinical appointment, second impression procedure, technique sensitive manipulations with impression, or cumbersome laboratory procedures. The simplicity of this technique facilitates and justifies its routine use in fabrication of the fixed partial denture.

PURPOSE. The aim of this article is to analyze the preference for treatment modality of dentists. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Data of 20,038 patients was involved. Data analysis were done by distribution according to the various kinds of prosthesis, including complete denture, removable partial denture, fixed partial denture, implant-supported dental prosthesis as well as distribution according to the professional titles of the dentists finishing the treatment, including resident and professors. RESULTS. The number of cases of dental prosthesis increased year by year. 61.06% of the patients accepted fixed partial denture restoration. The number of patients who accepted implant supported restoration is also increasing year by year. The number of complete denture, implant-supported dental prosthesis finished by professors was larger than that done by residents, while it was contrary for removable partial denture, fixed partial denture, and the difference was statistically significant (P < .05). CONCLUSION. Professors and residents have some difference in the categorization of prosthesis finished. Fixed partial denture and implant-supported dental prosthesis are preferred.

편측 부분 무치악에서 소수의 치아로 지대치를 형성하여 가철성 국소의치 제작 시 환자의 불편함 및 지대치 손상 등으로 인해 만족도가 낮아질 수 있다. 최근 편측 부분 무치악에서 임플란트 고정성 보철물을 지대치로 사용하여 양측성 후방 연장 국소의치로 제작하는 방법이 보고되고 있다. 본 증례에서 임플란트 고정성 보철물을 사용하여 환자의 수직 악간관계를 보존하고 본인의 치아와 같은 형태를 부여하여 환자에게 심리적 안정감을 주며 향상된 저작 기능의 결과를 제공하였다. 또한 임플란트 고정성 보철물을 통하여 예후가 불량할 것으로 예상되는 편측성 후방 연장 국소의치를 역학적, 기능적으로 유리한 양측성 후방 연장 국소의치를 제작하였다. 국소의치의 지지, 유지, 안정 요소의 향상을 가져왔으며 환자에게 경제적 및 사용 시 만족감을 가져왔다.

부분 무치악 환자는 고정성 보철, 가철성 국소의치, 임플란트 지지 고정성 보철로 수복될 수 있다. 그러나 소수 잔존치아만 남은 경우, 고정성 보철로는 수복이 어려우며, 국소의치 혹은 임플란트 지지 고정성 보철을 고려하게 된다. 이 경우 임플란트 지지 고정성 보철은 고정성 수복이라는 장점이 있으나, 충분한 개수의 임플란트가 식립되어야 하며, 환자의 전신적, 국소적 여건이 합당해야 하고, 경제적 부담도 크다. 가철성 국소의치는 지대치에 의한 대칭적인 지지가 중요하며, 특히 중심선에 대해 편측으로 소수 치아만 남은 경우에는 지점선에 대해 지대치에 유해한 스트레스를 가하면서 지대치의 예후가 불량해진다. 이 경우, 전략적 위치에 임플란트를 식립함으로써 임플란트를 의치의 유지 및 지지 요소로 활용하는 가철성보철물을 설계한다면 비용 대비 기능적이며 심미적인 보철 수복이 가능해진다. 본 두 증례는 상악 Kennedy Class I 부분 무치악 환자 중 편측으로 소수 잔존치가 전치에 국한하여 존재하는 경우로, 잔존치를 지대치로 사용하면서, 전략적 위치에 임플란트를 식립함으로써 의치의 지지가 향상된 국소의치를 제작한 증례이다.

Recently, the development of new structural model in fixed partial denture system is required to be started from the conceptual design with low cost, high performance and quality. In this point, a FEM based design of partial denture is used to investigate stress distribution on the durable shape. In this paper, the structural performances of partial dentures were analyzed under three biting forces. The periodontal embedding model is introduced on behalf of the detailed supporting tissue, which is composed of dentin, cortical bone, cancellous bone and periodontal ligament. Using topology optimization, the optimal reinforcement layout of connector was obtained and the detail shape in the fixed partial denture was designed.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the magnitude and distribution of stress using photoelastic model with the rigid connection using T-block attachment and non-rigid connection using key & keyway attachment. The vertical load of 16 Kg was applied on the central fossa of the tooth, the pontic and the implant, and the pattern and distribution under each condition was analyzed. The following results were obtained : 1. In case of vertical load on the central fossa of the implant, the stress was concentrated at the apex of the implant involving the mesial alveolar bone in both fixed partial denture with the rigid connection and that with the nonrigid connection and the stress concentration at the mesial cervical area of the implant was a little more in the nonrigid connection than in the rigid connection. 2. In case of vertical load on the central fossa of the pontic, the stress was concentrated at the apex of 2nd bicuspid in both 3 unit fixed partial denture with nonrigid connection and that with the rigid connection. The stress was more concentrated at the mesial alveolar bone of the implant, but the stress distribution at the natural teeth more favorable at the rigid connection than at the non-rigid connection in case of 4 unit fixed partial denture. 3. In case of vertical load of the central fossa of the 2nd bicuspid, much stress with 3 fringe order was observed at the apex of the 2nd bicuspid in the 3 unit fixed partial denture, but relatively even stress distribution was observed at the apex of the implant, the 1st and 2nd bicuspid, and the adjacent cuspid in the 4 unit fixed partial denture.

The scars and contracture around the oral-facial region may cause difficulty in prosthodontic treatment to restore esthetics and function for the patients, who suffered severe burns. This article presents a technique that uses a fixed partial denture prepared with a conventional milling technique and an attachment to support anterior cantilever removable partial denture, thereby providing a more esthetically acceptable and functional result.

In the maxillary anterior region, reconstruction of the localized alveolar ridge defect is very important in enhancing the esthetics of fixed partial denture. A 40-year-old female patient presented with a chief complaint of the inconvenience and unesthetic problem of 3-unit maxillary anterior prosthesis due to alveolar ridge resorption. After removal of old prosthesis, intraoral examination revealed moderate (buccolingually 4 mm) ridge deficiency in missing tooth region, leading to the diagnosis of Class I alveolar ridge defect. One of the reconstruction techniques to overcome this problem might be a technique that combines two types of soft tissue augmentation techniques. The purpose of this paper was to demonstrate the new combined technique of roll flap and combination onlay-interpositional graft utilized to acquire sufficient dimension of recipient area by one time of operation and to present the esthetic improvement of fixed partial denture by using this procedure in case of maxillary anterior localized ridge defect.

Purpose: This study aimed to obtain basic data on oral health improvement by investigating the EQ-5D index according to the oral prosthesis status of elderly persons aged 65 years or older in Korea using the Seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Methods: In this study, 3,426 elderly persons aged 65 years or older were included to analyze the relationship between the dental prostheses status and EQ-5D index in the collected data. Results: Compared to the "complete denture" in oral prosthesis, EQ in case of no dental prostheses or fixed dental prostheses is comparable to removable prosthetics such as "no dental prostheses," "one fixed bridge," and "two or more fixed bridges." Removable partial denture and complete denture required for the maxillary and mandibular EQ-5D index were significantly higher in "not necessary" than in "complete denture necessary" in all the elderly persons. Conclusion: The condition of the dental prosthesis and the need for a removable partial denture and complete denture for the elderly's EQ-5D index were confirmed, and it was found that the fixed dental prostheses were more effective than the removable dental prostheses. Therefore, oral health education programs for the elderly should be developed to promote dental function and oral health maintenance.
