Journal of Dental Rehabilitation and Applied Science.2017;33(2):163-168. doi:10.14368/jdras.2017.33.2.163

Anterior diastemas are common esthetic problems. One of the challenges in clinical esthetic dentistry is closing anterior diastemas without creating “black triangles” between the teeth. The success of a restorative treatment in anterior teeth depends on the esthetic integration between soft tissues and hard tissues. This report describes the successfully accomplished diastema closure case by producing the emergence profile with natural contours at the gingival-tooth interface and then generating of gingival recontouring process.

Journal of Dental Rehabilitation and Applied Science.2017;33(2):154-162. doi:10.14368/jdras.2017.33.2.154

Tooth wear, one of the physiological changes in the elderly patient's mouth, generally does not require treatment, but requires prosthodontic restoration when occlusal disharmony, poor masticatory function, pulp exposure occurs. One of the primary considerations in prosthodontic restoration for tooth wear is vertical dimension. It is necessary to make an accurate diagnosis and analysis, correct judgement of the interdental relationship for predictive treatment plan. A step-by-step approach considering dental care for aged is also required. In this case, a 93-year-old male patient presented with worn dentition and mobility of existing fixed dental prosthesis. After diagnosis and evaluation, maxillary rehabilitation without any change in the occlusal vertical dimension was performed and this shows satisfactory results both functionally and morphologically.

One of the common complications of dental injury is tooth ankylosis. Unlike adults, when tooth ankylosis occurs in the adolescents, ankylosis interfered the growth of the adjacent alveolar bone, resulting in the developmental failure of the alveolar bone and subsequent open bite. The most common treatment option for ankylosed tooth is extraction. However, when prognosis of ankylosed tooth after extraction is expected to be poor due to severity of infrapositioning or prosthetic replacement cannot be performed immediately, various treatment options should be considered. This report suggests multidisciplinary treatment that might bring functionally and esthetically favorable result included alveolar bone distraction osteogenesis and decoronation of ankylosed maxillary anterior tooth with orthodontic and prosthetic treatments.

Adoption of CAD/CAM milling in dentistry has allowed production of more analytic and precise prosthesis. Such precision enables definite path of insertion and undercut to be provided in removable partial denture especially when designing a surveyed crown on an abutment tooth. This case is about the production of surveyed crown with proper path of insertion utilizing CAD/CAM electronic surveying method on a patient with edentulous maxilla. Resulting removable partial denture fit well and showed acceptable stability and retention with no clinical problem.

Fixed prosthetic treatment for the patient with delayed eruption disorder.

Su Yeon LEE ; Hee Jung KIM ; Sung Nam KANG

Journal of Dental Rehabilitation and Applied Science.2017;33(2):127-134. doi:10.14368/jdras.2017.33.2.127

Delayed eruption disorders caused by systemic or local conditions are mostly found during childhood and can be treated with orthodontic forced eruption. When the disorder is not found nor treated during childhood, however, orthodontic eruption might become a difficult option while prosthodontic restoration can be considered as an another option. Considerations for the prosthodontic treatment plan include the extent of tooth loss, interdental mesio-distal space and interarch space, and age of the patient. In this case report, oral rehabilitation of the patient with delayed eruption disorder through zirconia partial fixed prostheses for both maxilla and mandible was performed.

Journal of Dental Rehabilitation and Applied Science.2017;33(1):55-62. doi:10.14368/jdras.2017.33.1.55

Overdenture using dental implants could improve the problems of conventional complete denture function which are pain during mastication, insufficient retention and stability. Locator attachment used widely for implant-retained overdenture has advantages that it needs the smallest vertical space and also its nylon male cap allows personalized retention for each case. However its retention force decreases rapidly with function rather than the bar and ball attachment. So, implant fixture should be positioned as parallel as possible.

Implant placement simultaneously sinus augmentation using crestal approach in severely atrophic maxilla; minimally invasive approach.

Hyun Joo KIM ; Eun Young KWON ; Jeomil CHOI ; Ju Youn LEE ; Ji Young JOO

Journal of Dental Rehabilitation and Applied Science.2017;33(1):47-54. doi:10.14368/jdras.2017.33.1.47

The atrophy of edentulous ridge and pneumatization of the maxillary sinus often limit the volume of bone available for implant placement on maxillary posterior teeth. Most clinicians suffer difficulties from poor bone quality and quantity on maxillary posterior site. Thus, the success of maxillary posterior implant surgery depends on the increase of the available bone and obtaining a good initial stability of the implant after maxillary sinus reconstruction. The maxillary sinus augmentation methods include a crestal approach and a lateral approach. Less morbidity and complications after operation is major advantage to sinus augmentation using crestal approach than lateral approach. However, when the residual ridge height is ≥ 6 mm, it is known that crestal approach is appropriate. Also delayed implantation after sinus augmentation is recommended in severely atrophic ridge. We present the three cases of implant placement simultaneously sinus augmentation using crestal approach in posterior maxilla site with ≤ 3 mm of residual alveolar bone.

Gyeong Je LEE ; Soo Yoon JIN ; Hee Jung KIM ; Jeong Bum MIN

Journal of Dental Rehabilitation and Applied Science.2017;33(1):42-46. doi:10.14368/jdras.2017.33.1.42

Dental erosion is defined as tooth structure loss by acidic chemical substance. It is caused by extrinsic factors such as acidic foods, drugs, and working environments, and also intrinsic factors such as gastric acid regurgitation in gastro-esophageal disorder or intensive vomiting in bulimia nervosa. These lesions can be treated with direct resin filling, laminate or full contour crown depending on the intensity of clinical problem. This is a case report about treatment of rare clinical case: labial erosion of anterior tooth caused by frequent intake of acidic fruit and palatal erosion of anterior tooth caused by intensive vomiting in bulimia nervosa.

Journal of Dental Rehabilitation and Applied Science.2017;33(1):34-41. doi:10.14368/jdras.2017.33.1.34

Anticonvulsants, calcium channel blockers and immunosuppressants are representative drugs related with gingival enlargement. Clinical signs and symptoms caused by drug-induced gingival enlargment frequently appear within 1 to 3 months after medication. At initial stage, it is limited to attached gingiva but may extend coronally and interfere with esthetics, mastication and speech. Interproximal spaces are common beginning area and pathologic teeth migration could be occurred by the lesion. Withdrawal or substitution of medication would be the most effective treatment of drug-induced gingival enlargement. However, periodontal treatment and further supportive periodontal therapy should be provided where change in medication is impossible. The present study reports the cases which show the resolution of inflammation with spontaneous teeth migration without change in medication. In all cases discussed in this report could be efficiently managed with proper periodontal treatment and further supportive periodontal therapy.

Orthodontic upright treatment for mesioangular impacted lower second molar.

Baekgue CHOI ; Dongkee JEONG ; Sunghoon LIM ; Sungnam GANG

Journal of Dental Rehabilitation and Applied Science.2017;33(1):25-33. doi:10.14368/jdras.2017.33.1.25

The lower 2(nd) molar eruption is beginning to mesiolingually, then rotate to distobuccally so it has a tendency to be tilted and impacted mesially. Signs and symptoms of impacted 2(nd) molar are similar to impacted 3(rd) molar's. However, treatment plan for impacted 2nd molar is different from that of impacted 3(rd)'s. The former is the preservation and uprighting of 2(nd) molar so that it could act to recovery of mastication, symmetrical facial growth, maintaining the symmetry of dental arch, stable occlusion, while the latter is the extraction of tooth. If the uprighting treatment is planned, most proper protocol of treatment and the additional treatment opition should be applied with consideration for it's crown exposure, present of 3(rd) molar which interrupt the uprighting process, extrusion of opposite tooth. Although it could not improve the esthetic result, it could prevent many dental problems. Therefore, uprighting for impacted lower 2(nd) molar is meaningful treatment.
