Abstract

Statement of problem: Peri-implant marginal bone loss is an important factor that affects the success of implants in esthetics and function. Various efforts have been made to reduce this bone loss by improving implant design and surface texture. Previous studies have shown that early marginal bone loss is affected by implant neck designs. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of laser microtexturing of implant collar on peri-implant marginal bone loss. Materials and methods: Radiographical marginal bone loss was examined in patients treated with implant-supported fixed partial dentures. Marginal bone level was examined with 101 implant fixtures installed in 53 patients at three periods(at the time of implantation, prosthetic treatment and 6-month after loading). Four types of implants were examined. The differences of bone loss between implants(ITI standard) with enough biologic width and implants(ITI esthetic plus, Silhouette IC, Silhouette IC Laser-$Lok^{TM}$) with insufficient biologic width have been compared. Resorption angles were examined at the time of prosthetic delivery and 6-month after loading. Results and Conclusion: Within the limitation of this study, the following results were drawn. 1. The marginal bone loss of ITI standard and Silhouette IC Laser-$Lok^{TM}$ was less than that of ITI esthetic plus and Silhouette IC(P<0.05). The marginal bone loss between ITI standard and Silhouette IC Laser-$Lok^{TM}$ had no significant statistical difference(P>0.05). There was no significant statistical difference between marginal bone loss of ITI esthetic plus and Silhouette IC(P>0.05). 2. There was no significant difference in marginal bone loss between maxilla and mandible(P>0.05). 3. There was no significant difference in resorption angle among four types of implants(P>0.05). The marginal bone of implants with supracrestal collar design of less than that of biologic width had resorbed more than those with sufficient collar length. The roughness and laser microtexturing of implant neck seem to affect these results. If an implant with collar length of biologic width, exposure of fixture is a possible complication especially in the anterior regions of dentition that demand high esthetics. Short smooth neck implant are often recommended in these areas which may lack the distance between microgap and the marginal bone level. In these cases, the preservation of marginal bone must be put into consideration. From the result of this study, it may be concluded that laser microtexturing of implant neck is helpful in the preservation of marginal bone.

임플랜트 주위 변연골의 흡수는 임플랜트의 기능적 및 심미적 성공에 큰 장애가 되는 요인이다. Adell은 임플랜트에 지대주 연결 후 첫 1년간 평균적으로 1.5mm의 변연골 소실을 보이고, 이 후에는 매년 0.1mm이하의 변연골 흡수가 있었다고 하였다(Adell et al.,1981). 이러한 변연골 흡수를 막기위한 많은 노력들이 행해져 왔다. 특히 임플랜트 collar의 특징에 따라서 변연골의 흡수가 달라질 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 임플랜트 collar에서의 laser microtexturing(microgroove)이 변연골 흡수에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 하는 것이다. 4종류의 임플랜트 총 101개를 식립한 환자 53명에서 임플랜트 식립시부터 보철물 장착한 후 평균 6개월 후 정기 검사 시까지의 임플랜트 주위 변연골의 흡수를 측정하여 비교하였다. 생물학적 폭경을 충분히 확보한 임플랜트(ITI standard)와 생물학적 폭경이 부족한 임플랜트 (ITI esthetic plus, Silhouette IC Laser-$Lok^{TM}$, Silhouette IC)에서 변연골 흡수의 차이를 비교하였고, 임플랜트 주위 변연골의 흡수에 대한 laser를 이용한 미세나사산의(Silhouette IC Laser-$Lok^{TM}$) 영향을 알아보았다. 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1. ITI standard와 Silhouette IC Laser-$Lok^{TM}$ 이 ITI esthetic plus 와 Silhouette IC 보다 임플랜트 주위 변연골의 흡수가 적었고 (p<0.05), ITI standard 와 Silhouette IC Laser-$Lok^{TM}$ 사이에는 변연골의 흡수가 유의차가 없었고(P>0.05), ITI esthetic plus와 Silhouette IC 사이에도 변연골의 흡수가 유의차가 없었다(P>0.05). 2. 사용된 임플랜트 전체에 대한 상하악의 비교에서는 상하악 사이에서 임플랜트 주위 변연골의 흡수는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 3. 흡수각도에 대한 비교에서도 4종류 임플랜트 그룹 간에 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(P>0.05). 본 연구에서 제한이 있긴 하지만, 임플랜트 디자인에서 생물학적 폭경이 부족한 경우(ITI esthetic plus, Silhouette IC)에는 생물학적 폭 경 보상을 위한 임플랜트 주위 변연골의 흡수가 있었음을 보여주고 있으나, laser를 이용한 microgroove 가 부여된 임플랜트에서는 collar의 거칠기와 laser microtexturing 등의 특징에 의해 임플랜트 주위 변연골의 흡수가 적게 일어난 것이 관찰되었다. 심미적인 요구도가 높은 전치부에서 충분한 생물학적 폭경이 확보된 임플랜트를 식립할 경우 변연골의 흡수에 따른 치은퇴축에 의해 metal collar의 노출이 우려되기에 충분한 생물학적 폭경이 부여되지 않은 임플랜트를 선정하게 되는데 이때 collar에서의 laser microtexturing은 변연골의 유지에 도움이 되었다. 이것은 조직의 단단한 부착으로 인한 안정화로 추정해 볼 수 있는데, 이에 대해서는 더 장기간의 연구와 더 많은 수의 임플랜트를 대상으로 한 연구와 조직학적인 연구도 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
