Abstract

Statement of problem: Since the concept of osseointegration in dental implants was introduced by $Br{{\aa}}nemark$ et al, high long-term success rates have been achieved. Though the use of dental implants have increased dramatically, there are few studies on domestic implants with clinical and objective long-term data. Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study was to provide long-term data on the $Neoplan^{(R)}$ implant, which features a sandblasted and acid-etched surface and external connection. Material and methods: 96 $Neoplan^{(R)}$ implants placed in 25 patients in Yonsei University Hospital were examined to determine the effect of the factors on marginal bone loss, through clinical and radiographic results during 18 to 57 month period. Results: 1. Out of a total of 96 implants placed in 25 patients, two fixtures were lost, resulting in 97.9% of cumulative survival rate. 2. Throughout the study period, the survival rates were 96.8% in the maxilla and 98.5% in the mandible. The survival rates were 97.6% in the posterior regions and 100% in the anterior regions. 3. The mean bone loss for the first year after prosthesis placement and the mean annual bone loss after the first year for men were significantly higher than that of women (P<0.05). 4. The group of partial edentulism with no posterior teeth distal to the implant prosthesis showed significantly more bone loss compared to the group of partial edentulism with presence of posterior teeth distal to the implant prosthesis in terms of mean bone loss for the first year and after the first year (P<0.05). 5. The mean annual bone loss after the first year was more pronounced in posterior regions compared to anterior regions (P<0.05). 6. No significant difference in marginal bone loss was found in the following factors: jaws, type of prostheses, type of opposing dentition, and submerged /non-submerged implants (P<0.05). Conclusion: On the basis of these results, the factors influencing marginal bone loss were gender, type of edentulism, and location in the arch, while the factors such as arch, type of prostheses, type of opposing dentition, submerged / non- submerged implants had no significant effect on bone loss. In the present study, the cumulative survival rate of the $Neoplan^{(R)}$ implant with a sandblasted and acid-etched surface was 97.9% up to a maximum 57-month period. Further long-term investigations for this type of implant system and evaluation of other various domestic implant systems are needed in future studies.

골유착 개념에 기반한 치과용 임플랜트가 $Br{\aa}nemark$ 등에 의해 도입된 이후로 치과 치료에서 임플랜트를 이용한 방법은 장기적으로 높은 성공률을 보여 왔다. 임플랜트를 이용한 치료법이 상실된 치아의 수복을 위해 우선적으로 고려되어야 할 중요한 방법으로 인식되면서 임플랜트를 이용한 방법을 선호하게 되었고 적용 범위 및 사용 빈도도 급증하였다. 예전에 비해서 국산 임플랜트의 사용도 증가하였으나 장기간의 임상적, 객관적인 자료를 가진 국산 임플랜트의 수는 많지 않은 상태이다. 본 연구는 SLA 표면 처리 및 외측 연결형의 국산 임플랜트에 관하여 18개월에서부터 57개월까지의 임상적, 방사선학적 결과에 대한 후향적 분석을 실시하였다. 연세대학교 치과대학병원에서 네오플란트$^{(R)}$ 임플랜트 (네오바이오텍, 서울, 한국)를 이용하여 치료받은 25명의 환자에게 식립된 96개의 임플랜트를 대상으로 하였고, 대상자 중 남성의 평균 연령은 63.5세, 여성의 평균 연령은 44.3세였다. 진료기록부를 통해 성별, 연령, 무치악 유형, 식립 위치, 식립된 임플랜트의 직경 및 길이, 2차 수술 여부, 보철물의 유형, 대합치의 유형, 임상적 합병증의 종류 및 빈도 등을 조사하여 그에 따른 분포 및 생존율의 차이와 함께 이들 항목이 변연골 흡수량에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 총 25명에게 식립된 96개의 임플랜트 중 2개가 실패하여 누적 생존율은 97.9%로 나타났다. 2. 정기검진이 가능했던 88개의 임플랜트에 대해서는 상악에서의 생존율이 96.2%, 하악에서의 생존율은 98.4%였고, 구치부에서의 생존율은 97.5%였으며 전치부에서의 생존율은 100%였다. 3. 보철물 장착 후 1년과 1년 이후의 연간 흡수량에서 남성이 여성보다 변연골 흡수량이 많았다 (P<0.05). 4. 임플랜트 지지 보철물 후방에 자연치가 존재하는 경우가 존재하지 않는 경우보다 보철물 장착 후 첫 1년과 1년 이후 모두에서 연간 흡수량이 적었다 (P<0.05). 5. 보철물 장착 1년 이후의 연간 흡수량은 전치보다 구치에서 더 많은 변연골 흡수를 보였다 (P<0.05). 6. 악궁 간, 보철물의 유형, 대합치의 유형, 2차 수술 여부에 따른 변연골 흡수량의 차이는 보이지 않았다 (P>0.05). 이상의 결과를 토대로 변연골 흡수량에 영향을 주는 요소로 성별, 무치악의 유형, 악궁 내 위치였으며, 악궁 간, 보철물의 유형, 대합치의 유형, 2차 수술 여부에 따른 변연골 흡수량 차이는 없었다. 본 연구에서 최대 57개월까지의 기간 동안 SLA 표면 처리 및 외측 연결형의 국산 임플랜트의 임상적인 성공률은 만족스러운 결과를 보였으며 변연골 흡수량도 임플랜트 성공기준에 부합하였으나, 이보다 더 장기적인 평가가 필요하며 다양한 국산 임플랜트 시스템에 대한 중장기적인 연구가 지속되어야 할 것이다.
