Abstract

Excessive tooth wear causes loss of tooth structure, disharmony of occlusal plane, functional and esthetic problems. Although the decrease of occlusal vertical dimension may be compensated by growth of alveolar bone, if the length of tooth is not enough for the retention of restoration, minimum increase of occlusal vertical dimension is required without discomfort of the patient. In this case, 33-year-old woman drinks more than 1 liter of soft drinks a day and has bruxism in night time, visited in Seoul National University Dental Hospital with chief complaint of generalized tooth wear and related esthetic and functional problems. It was considered as a loss of occlusal vertical dimension based on the accelerated tooth wear caused by erosion and bruxism and facial appearance, phonetic, esthetic, functional evaluations. It was planned to raise occlusal vertical dimension by provisional restoration two times for patient's adaptation, 3 mm and 2 mm each, total 5 mm. Confirming no discomfort and clinical symptom during total 16 weeks after restoration with provisional fixed restoration, it was restored with porcelain fused to gold crown and bridge. Because the patient was young woman, anterior teeth were restored with collarless porcelain fused to gold crown. This case presents that satisfactory esthetic and functional result by full mouth rehabilitation with increase of occlusal vertical dimension.

치아의 과도한 마모는 광범위한 치질의 상실, 교합평면의 부조화를 야기하고 기능적, 심미적 문제를 발생시킬 수 있다. 마모에 의한 수직 고경의 감소는 치조골의 보상성 성장에 의해 상쇄될 수도 있지만 보철물의 유지를 위한 치아의 길이가 부족하다면 환자에게 불편감이 없는 한에서 최소한의 수직 고경 증가를 동반한 보철적 수복이 필요하다. 본 증례는 33세 여성 환자로 하루에 콜라를 1리터 이상 마시고 밤에 심한 이갈이 습관을 가지고 있어 전악에 걸친 마모와 심미적, 기능적 불편감을 주소로 서울대학교 치과병원에 내원하였다. Erosion과 이갈이 습관으로 급속히 치아의 마모가 일어났고, 환자의 적절한 수직 고경을 결정하기 위해 안모와 발음, 심미, 기능 등을 평가한 결과 수직고경이 상실되었다고 판단되었다. 수복을 위한 5 mm의 수직고경 거상이 계획되었고 환자의 적응을 위해 임시치아의 수직고경을 각각 3 mm와 2 mm로 두번에 걸쳐 증가시켰다. 총 16주의 관찰기간 동안 임상증상과 불편감이 없음을 확인한 후, 전악을 금속도재 보철물로 수복하였다. 환자가 젊은 여성이라는 점에서 전치부는 collarless 금속도재 보철물로 수복하였다. 이상과 같은 과정을 통해 교합고경 회복을 동반한 보철 수복으로 적절한 심미적, 기능적 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.
