Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate effect of implant abutment screw coating treatment on joint stability, investigating mechanical properties of these. For this study used $ExFeel^{(R)}$ external hexed implant system and $15mm{\times}1mm$ discs. Experimental group was $1{\mu}m$ TiN, TiCN, TiC coated abutment screws and discs. To know mechanical property, i evaluated adhesion strength, surface hardness, using disc, corrosion test using screw. The results were as follows : rotation angle of coated screws increased than that of non-coated screw because of lower friction coefficient, especially TiC coated screw group had the largest value, but removal torque decreased in all coated screws (p<0.05). Torque loss before and after fatigue test was the smallest in TiC-coated screws, and the largest in non-coated screws (p<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference between dry condition and wet condition of screws because of higher surface hardness and lower friction coefficient. From the above results, TiN, TiCN, TiC coating group had high abrasion resistance, especially TiC coated group which had low torque-consuming, high rotation angle as low friction coefficient will be considered to influence on implant abutment screw joint stability positively.

본 논문의 목적은 코팅처리의 기계적 성질과 임플란트 지대주나사의 코팅처리가 고정체와의 결합안정성에 미치는 영향을 연구하고자 함이다. 이를 위해 Megagen 임플란트 시스템과 직경 15 mm, 높이 1 mm의 티타늄원판을 사용하였다. 지대주 나사와 원판에 TiN, TiCN, 및 TiC를 코팅하여 실험군으로, 코팅처리하지 않은 것을 대조군으로 하였다. 실험군은 지대주나사를 32 Ncm로 체결한 후 풀림회전력과 조임회전각을 측정하고, 10만 번씩 저작 모방 시험을 실시하여 풀림회전력의 변화를 관찰하였다. 조임회전각은 TiCN, TiC코팅나사에서 코팅하지 않은 나사보다 크게 나타났다(p<0.05). 그러나 풀림회전력은 TiCN, TiC코팅나사에서 코팅하지 않은 나사보다 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 저작 모방 시험후 코팅한 나사에서 코팅하지 않은 나사보다 풀림 회전력이 더 높게 나타났으며 풀림회전력은 건조상태와 습윤상태 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과로 TiC 코팅군은 저작 모방 시험 전에는 풀림회전력이 낮았지만 저작 모방 시험 후에는 낮은 마찰계수로 인한 높은 풀림회전력과 조임회전각을 가져 임플란트 지대주나사의 결합안정성에 영향을 미치는 효율적인 방법임을 시사한다.
