Abstract

Recently with the advance in digital dentistry, the fabrication of dentures using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) is on the rise. The denture designed through a CAD software can be produced in a 3-dimensional manufacturing process. This process includes a subtractive processing method such as milling and an additive processing method such as 3D printing and in which it can be applied efficiently in more complex structures. In this case, complete dentures were fabricated using Stereolithography (SLA)-based 3D printing to shorten the production time and interval of visits in patient with physical disabilities due to cerebral infarction. For definitive impression, the existing interim denture was digitally replicated and used as an individual tray. The definitive impression obtained with polyvinyl siloxane impression material was including information about the inclination and length of the maxillary anterior teeth, vertical dimension, and centric relation. In addition, facial scan data with interim denture was obtained so that it can be used as a reference in determination of the occlusal plane and in arrangement of artificial teeth during laboratory work. Artificial teeth were arranged through a CAD program, and a gingival festooning was performed. The definitive dentures were printed by SLA-based 3D printer using a FDA-approved liquid photocurable resin. The denture showed adequate retention, support, and stability, and results were satisfied functionally and aesthetically.

최근 디지털 치의학의 발달로, Computer-aided design-Computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM)을 이용한 의치 제작이 증가하는 추세이다. CAD 소프트웨어를 통해 디자인된 의치를 제작하는 방식에는 밀링을 이용한 절삭가공방식과 3D 프린팅과 같은 적층가공방식이 있으며, 적층가공방식은 보다 복잡한 구조를 재현하는데 유리하게 사용될 수 있다. 본 증례는 뇌경색으로 인해 신체적 장애를 갖게 된 상·하악 완전무치악 환자에서 제작 기간과 내원 간격을 단축하기 위해 광경화 Stereolithography (SLA) 기반의 3D 프린팅을 이용한 디지털 제작 방식의 양악 총의치 수복 증례이다. 최종인상채득을 위해 기존 임시의치를 디지털 방식으로 복제 및 출력하여 개인트레이로 활용하였고, 부가중합형 실리콘 인상재로 채득한 최종인상체에는 수직고경과 중심위, 상악 전치부의 각도 및 길이에 대한 정보가 포함되었다. 또한 임시의치를 장착하고 촬영한 안면 스캔 데이터를 추가로 획득하여 기공 작업 시 교합평면 결정이나 인공치 배열에 참고할 수 있도록 하였다. 인상체를 3차원 스캔 후 CAD 프로그램을 통해 인공치를 배열하였고, 연마면을 형성하여 의치 디자인을 완성하였다. 시적 의치 및 최종 의치는 FDA 승인을 받은 액체 광경화성 레진을 이용하여 SLA 기반 3D 프린터로 출력하였고, 최종 의치는 적절한 안정과 유지, 지지를 보였으며, 기능적, 심미적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 최종 의치의 전달까지 3회의 내원 횟수를 필요로 하였으며, 기공시간의 단축으로 내원 간격을 줄임으로써 환자의 만족도를 증진시켰다.
