Using the neutral zone concept can increase the stability of the prosthesis. In this case, bimaxillary denture were fabricated using the neutral zone in a patient who had alveolar ridge resorption and inwardly positioned lip. This condition was unfavorable for obtaining stability of the denture, so the force involved in denture had to be minimized. There were differences in the tooth arrangement and shape of the polished surface between the definitive denture made using the neutral zone impression technique and the provisional denture made without using it.

6.The relationship between dental occlusion and temporomandibular joint disorder
Journal of Dental Rehabilitation and Applied Science 2024;40(3):107-113
Temporomandibular disorder is a disease caused by various factors such as trauma, mental stress, occlusal factors, and parafunc-tional habits. Among them, many scholars have been interested in the relationship between occlusion and temporomandibular disorder for a long time and have conducted numerous studies, but controversy over this relationship continues to this day. Based on previous studies, this review clearly establishes the relationship on occlusion and temporomandibular disorders and presents the direction for follow-up research by summarizing the limitations of current studies.

To enhance the predictability of aesthetic treatment outcomes in aesthetic prosthetic restorations, considerations must include analysis of facial features, the relationship between teeth and lips, proportions of tooth width/length, gingival form, and more.Traditional diagnostic wax-ups have limitations in considering the patient’s facial features and are unable to facilitate rapid formmodifications. With recent advancements in digital technology, it is now possible to digitize the patient’s facial features in three dimensions, enabling the design of restorations that harmonize with facial features. These digital workflows not only improve efficiency but also provide patients with faster visualization of treatment outcomes, thereby enhancing motivation. Therefore, in this case, a treatment plan is devised to utilize digital diagnostic wax-ups considering the patient’s facial features for the finalprosthetic design.

Immediate implant placement and restoration have the advantage of shortening the treatment period and maintaining aesthetics until final restoration. However, single implant restoration in the maxillary anterior region may be aesthetically difficult, and surgical trauma delivered to soft and hard tissues during implant placement may affect future aesthetic results. In order to obtain predictable results during anterior implant placement and restoration, surgery and restoration plans must consider the height of the interdental bone, characteristics of the gingiva, and morphological characteristics of the patient’s teeth. In this case, we attempted to reproduce the emergence profile and stabilized soft tissue through gingiva modification and digital impression of a labially placed maxillary anterior implant in a patient who desired porcelain fused-metal (PFM) restoration due to economic issues.
