보톨리눔 톡신을 이용한 교합력 조절과 교합수직고경 증가를 동반한 완전구강회복 증례

초록

To rehabilitate a patient with pathological tooth wear and posterior support loss, increasing the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) and achieving stable occlusion are essential. However, an increase in OVD may elevate occlusal force and compromise restoration stability. This case involved full-mouth rehabilitation using implant- and tooth-supported prostheses following a 4 mm OVD increase. During the provisional phase, occlusal force was controlled via botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection into the masseter muscles. The combined approach of vertical dimension increase and occlusal force management with BTX-A allowed for a stable, esthetic, and functional outcome in full-mouth rehabilitation.
