The adequate support for distal extension partial dentures is from the relatively rigid abutment teeth and the supportive mucosa. According to Leupold's research, by comparison to altered cast impression technique, one-step custom tray impression technique distorted loose mucosa more horizontally and vertically than two-step impression. In this case report a 69 y/o female received a mandibular class II removable partial denture treatment. After trying the fitness of the metal framework, an individual tray was attached to the distal extension framework and a secondary impression was made to replace the distal extension portion of the master cast. This final altered cast was used to complete the denture fabrication.
下顎遠心游離缺牙之局部活動假牙支撐性,主要是來自於支台齒的強度、以及無牙脊所提供的支撐度。根據Leupold的實驗結果顯示,相較於使用修正印模法,客製化牙托所進行的單次印模,容易對軟組織產生較大的形變。本病例是一位六十九歲女性,因為長期缺牙而接受下顎遠心游離缺牙之局部活動假牙製作。在試戴活動假牙金屬支架後,於金屬支架遠心端製作客製化模托,並進行第二次無牙脊之印模,製作出新的活動假牙主模。經假牙配戴後臨床追蹤檢查一年半,病人表示使用狀況良好,無明顯不適感。
