PURPOSE. To assess function by identifying changes in swallowing and masticatory performance in maxillary obturator prosthesis wearers. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Sixty subjects were recruited for the study, of which 20 were obturator wearers, 20 were completely dentulous and 20 had removable partial/complete dentures with similar Eichner's Index. Swallowing ability was evaluated with and without obturator using the "Water Drinking Test"; Masticatory performance was evaluated with the Sieve test; and maximum occlusal force was recorded with the help of a digital bite sensor. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science version 15.0 with a confidence level at 95%. RESULTS. Profile, behavior of drinking and time taken to drink were significantly improved (P<.001) in subjects after wearing obturator. Masticatory performance was not significantly different (P=.252) in obturator wearer when compared with dentulous or removable partial/complete denture wearer, but significantly (P<.001) high inter group difference in maximum occlusal force existed. Correlation between masticatory performance and maximum occlusal force was not significant (P=.124). CONCLUSION. Swallowing ability was significantly improved after wearing obturator but masticatory performance was not significantly different from those having similar occlusal support zone in their dentition.

지적장애는 정신 발육이 항구적으로 지체 되어 지적 능력의 발달이 불충분하고 불완전한 장애이며, 지적장애를 가지면 자신의 일을 처리하는 것과 사회생활에의 적응이 상당히 곤란하다. 그렇기 때문에 환자 스스로 구강상태를 위생적으로 관리하는 것이 쉽지 않아 다발적 우식이 쉽게 관찰되며 치주질환 이환율이 높다. 본 증례의 환자는 지적장애 1급을 판정받은 33세 여환으로 치아 및 치주 건강이 좋지 않아 식사에 어려움이 있다는 주소로 내원하였다. 초진 구내 검사 시 환자는 치주염과 다발성 우식으로 수직고경이 감소되고 구치부 교합이 붕괴되어 있었다. 이를 가철성 국소의치 이용하여 교합을 재구성함으로써 심미적, 기능적으로 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

고정성 임플란트 보철물과 가철성 임플란트 피개의치는 상악 완전 무치악 환자를 임플란트를 이용하여 치료하는 대표적인 두 가지 방법이다. 임플란트 보철물 선택 시 정확한 진단과 평가가 이루어 지지 않고 치료방향을 선택하게 되면 생역학적, 기능적 및 심미적으로 불리한 치료결과를 낳고 장기적인 예후 또한 보장할 수 없다. 본 증례의 환자는 개인치과의원에서 상악 완전 무치악에 8개의 임플란트를 식립하여 고정성 보철물로 치료하였으나 상악 보철물의 실패로 인해 재치료를 위해 내원하였다. 환자의 요청으로 추가적인 임플란트를 식립 할 수 없었고 구강위생관리 문제 해결, 기존 임플란트의 활용 및 연결 고정을 통한 안정화, 심미성 등을 고려하여 바를 이용한 가철성 피개의치로 치료를 결정하였다. 심미성과 저작기능, 구강위생관리에 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

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.

Computer guided implant surgery와 computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing, computer guided implant surgery (CAD/CAM) 기술의 발전은 수복 기반 임플란트 치료의 완성도를 한층 더 높였으며, 3D printing을 통한 국소의치의 제작도 빈도가 늘고 있다. 본 증례는 디지털 치의학의 작업 흐름을 따라서 콘빔컴퓨터단층촬영을 통한 치료 계획 수립 및 수술용 스텐트의 제작과 그를 바탕으로 한 임플란트 식립을 하였으며, 맞춤 지대주와 보철물을 제작하였다. 그 후 전자 서베잉과 3D printing을 통한 국소의치 금속 구조물 및 최종적으로 지르코니아 온레이의 제작을 통해 전악 수복을 완성하여 기능과 심미적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of tooth mobility and design of the direct retainer on the stress of supporting tissues in distal extension removable partial denture. Tooth mobility was simulated and four different types of direct retainer such as Alters clasp, I-bar clasp, wrought wire clasp, and Dalbo attachment were designed and stress on the support-ing tissues were measured and analyzed with straingauge method. The following conclusions were drawn from this study. 1. The stress revealed at the lingual side of alveolar bone of the abutment tooth in edentulous area was the largest. 2. The stress at the lingual side of alveolar bone of the abutment tooth in edentulous area was increased according to the increase of tooth mobility in I-bar clasp and Dalbo attachment. 3. The stress at the residual ridge crest was the great in Dalbo attachment on mobility 0, in I-bar clasp on mobility 1, and in wrought wire clasp on mobility 2. 4. There was little changes of stress according to the increase of tooth mobility at buccal and lingual side of the residual ridge crest and around the abutment teeth in dentulous area.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress patterns developed in supporting structures by removable partial denture with attachment retainers. The attachments tested were Dalbo(miniature) attachment, resilient Ceka attachment, rigid Ceka attachment, precision and sleeve attachment, and R.P.I. clasp as a contrast. 3-dimensional photoelastic stress analysis was used to record the isochromatic and isoclinic fringe patterns and to calculate principal stress components at measuring points. The results showed that: 1. The maximum compressive stress on residual ridge was produced under the loading point with Dalbo and resilient Ceka attachment, distal to the loading point with rigid Ceka and precision and sleeve attachment, and mesial to the loading point with R.P.I. clasp. 2. The Dalbo attachment produced the most stress on residual ridge, and the least stress on abutment teeth. and resilient Ceka attachment showed favorable stress distribution. 3. Rigid Ceka attachment produced higher compressive stress on buccal. alveolar crest, and precision and sleeve attachment produced higher compressive stress on distal alvelolar crest and mesial surface of the root apex in abutment teeth. 4. R.P.I. clasp produced higher compressive stress on mesial alveolar crest.

본 증례에서는 소수 잔존치를 가진 환자에 있어 새로운 인상 채득법을 이용해 국소의치를 제작하였다. 이 방법에서는 McLean의 기능인상법의 개념에 따라 임시 의치를 이용한 기능 인상채득 후에 비가역성 하이드로콜로이드로 overimpression을 채득하였다. 이러한 방법은 모델링 컴파운드를 사용한 변연 형성의 필요성이 없으며, 짧은 시간에 과연장되지 않은 의치 인상을 채득할 수 있으며 개인 트레이가 정확하게 적합된다는 유용성이 있다.
