Abstract

In the case of a patient with a small number of unilateral remaining teeth in the mandible, a restoration with conventional removable partial denture cannot provide sufficient retention and resistance. A harmful stress from the poor stability of denture on remaining teeth occurs due to alveolar bone resorption in edentulous area. Although implant fixed prosthesis can provide multiple benefits over conventional removable partial denture, there are limitations come from anatomic structures and costs. In this case, an implant-assisted removable partial denture (IARPD) with a couple of implants placed in strategic positions can be a treatment modality. The objective of this article is to present a case report of two patients showed satisfactory clinical outcomes during three-year follow-up period describing the fabrication and advantages of removable partial denture assisted by teeth and implants (IARPD) for a patient with a small number of unilateral remaining teeth in mandible using Locator as an implant attachment.

하악 편측에 소수의 잔존치만 있는 증례에서 통상적인 국소의치로 수복하는 경우에 충분한 유지 및 저항을 얻기 어렵고, 무치악 치조제의 흡수에 따른 의치의 안정성 저하로 인해 잔존지대치에 유해한 힘이 가해질 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 경우에 다수의 임플란트를 이용한 고정성 보철로 수복하게 되면 여러 가지 장점이 있을 수 있으나, 해부학적, 경제적 요인에 의해 치료 방법으로 선택이 제한될 수 있다. 이에, 적은 수의 임플란트를 전략적 위치에 식립하여 임플란트 보조 국소의치(Implant-assisted removable partial denture, IARPD)의 제작을 대안으로 고려해 볼 수 있다. 본 증례보고에서는 전통적인 가철성 국소의치만으로는 적절한 지지, 유지, 안정이 어려운 두 임상증례에서 소수의 임플란트를 전략적 위치에 식립하고 로케이터(Locator) 부착장치를 적용하여 3년간 경과관찰을 통해 좋은 임상 결과를 확인하였기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.
