고령 환자의 기존 의치를 치과기공소에서 수리한 증례

초록

The need for repairing removable dentures has grown as the population had aged. The di-rect methods allow existing dentures to be repaired without interrupting their use. However, if patient compliance is low, direct methods may be challenging. Moreover, attaching an ar-tificial tooth to a metal base is a complicated procedure because it necessitates casting a retentive element and soldering it to a metal base. This clinical report describes how to add an artificial tooth to a metal base, reline denture bases, and reestablish occlusion on re-lined removable dentures using indirect methods. Existing removable dentures were suc-cessfully repaired and their service life was efficiently extended using the methods de-scribed.
