Abstract

As the popularity of implant treatment using a variety of problems have been reported. The proper torque values recommended by the manufacturer and the actual tightening force applied to the observed differences. Period for each product used in this study using different torque controllers accuracy for each of the comparisons, were analyzed. Error rate varies by the manufacturer, but all the products used in the reference period for increasing the error rate increased. Repeat the initial tightening, but the reference, showed a value close to the reference value for the width of change was larger. However, increasing the number of repeated tightening of the reference value for the error rate increased, but has reduced the width of the observed changes.

임플란트를 이용한 치료가 대중화됨에 따라 다양한 문제가 보고되고 있는데, 이 중에서도 나사풀림현상과 관련된 토크 조절기의 사용에 있어 제조회사에서 권장하는 적절한 토크값과 실제 적용되는 조임력에는 차이가 있음이 여러 연구결과를 통해 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 제품마다 사용기간이 다른 토크 조절기를 이용하여 각각에 따른 정확도를 비교, 분석하고자 하였다. 오차율은 제조회사별로 차이가 있었지만 모든 제품에서 사용기간이 증가할수록 기준값에 대한 오차율은 증가하였다. 그리고 반복 조임 횟수 증가에 따른 측정값의 변화를 살펴보면 반복 조임 초기에는 기준값에 근접한 값을 나타내었지만 기준값에 대한 변화의 폭은 크게 나타났고, 반복 조임 횟수가 증가할수록 기준값에 대한 오차율은 증가하였지만 변화의 폭은 줄어드는 것으로 관찰되었다.
