Abstract

Statement of problem: Implant supported overdenture is accepted widely as a way to restore edentulous ridge providing better retention and support of dentures. Various types of attachment for overdenture have been developed. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of attachment type in implant overdentures on the biomechanical stress distribution in the surrounding bone, prosthesis and interface between implant and bone. Material and methods: Finite element analysis method was used. Average CT image of mandibular body(Digital $Korea^{(R)}$, KISTI, Korea) was used to produce a mandibular model. Overdentures were placed instead of mandibular teeth and 2mm of mucosa was inserted between the overdenture and mandible. Two implants($USII^{(R)}$, Osstem, Korea) were placed at both cuspid area and 4 types of overdenture were fabricated ; ball and socket, Locator, magnet and bar type. Load was applied on the from second premolar to second molar tooth area. 6 times of finite element analyses were performed according to the direction of the force $90^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $0^{\circ}$ and unilateral or bilateral force applied. The stress at interface between implants and bone, and prosthesis and the bone around implants ware compared using von Mises stress. The results were explained with color coded graphs based on the equivalent stress to distinguish the force distribution pattern and the site of maximum stress concentration. Results: Unilateral loading showed that connection area between implant fixture and bar generated maximum stress in bar type overdentures. Bar type produced 100 Mpa which means the most among 4 types of attachments. Bilateral loading, however, showed that bar type was more stable than other implants(magnet, ball and socket). 26 Mpa of bar type was about a half of other types on overdenture under $90^{\circ}$ bilateral loading. Conclusions: In any directions of stress, bar type was proved to be the most vulnerable type in both implants and overdentures. Interface stress did not show any significant difference in stress distribution pattern.

하악 완전 무치악 환자에서 이공 사이에 2개의 임플란트를 식립한 후 4종류의 어태치먼트를 사용한 하악 오버덴쳐를 제작하여 유한요소 모델을 만들고 여기에 3가지 하중 조건을 가하여 유한요소 해석 프로그램인 ANSYS 10.0을 이용하여 어태치먼트 종류에 따른 임플란트 주위골과 보철물 및 임플란트와 골 사이 계면에 발생하는 최대 응력의 크기와 응력 분포양상을 분석하였다. 하악골체의 전체적인 골격구조에서 치아 부분은 오버덴쳐로 모델을 형성하였고 오버덴쳐와 하악골 사이에 2mm 두께의 점막을 삽입하였다. 임플란트 오버덴쳐의 유한요소 모델은 ball and socket, Locator, magnet, bar의 각각 4가지 형태를 제작하였다. 고정체의 식립 위치는 양측 이공 전방이고, 경계 조건 중 고정점은 하악각 부위와 모형의 최후방 절점들을 고정점으로 설정하였다. 하중조건은 오버덴쳐의 좌측 제 2소구치에서 제 2대구치 편측 부위에 170N의 하중을, 좌 우측 제 2소구치에서 제 2대구치 양측 부위에 170N의 하중을, $90^{\circ}$수직 방향, $45^{\circ}$경사, 그리고 $0^{\circ}$ 수평 방향으로 가하였다. 결과 분석시 모든 하중방향에서 응력의 크기는 bar에서 임플란트나 오버덴쳐에서 가장 크게 나타났으며, 계면에서의 응력은 모든 어태치먼트에서 비슷한 응력분포가 나타났다. Ball and socket, Locator, magnet에서는 유의성을 보이지 않았다. 응력의 분포도에서는 4종류의 어태치먼트 모두 임플란트 치경부에서 응력이 집중된 양상을 보였으며 bar타입에서는 bar의 중앙에 응력이 크게나타났다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 어태치먼트의 종류에 따라 응력분포의 차이가 있었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 어태치먼트의 선정 시 응력집중을 완화시킬 수 있는 바람직한 설계와 선택이 필요하리라 사료된다.
