Abstract

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to investigate osseointegration around zirconia implants which had machined or alumina sandblasted surface, and to compare the results with titanium implants. Materials and methods: The study was performed on the tibia of 6 pigs. Three types of implants were investigated: group T-titanium implant, group Z-machined zirconia implant, group ZS-alumina sandblasting treated zirconia implant. Zirconia implants were manufactured from yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline (Acucera Inc., Pocheon, Korea). A total of 36 implants were installed in pigs' tibias. After 1, 4 and 12 weeks of healing period, the periotest and the histomorphometric analysis were performed. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and significance was assessed by the Scheffe test (${\alpha}=.05$). Results: In the measurement of surface roughness, highest Ra value was measured in group T with significant difference. No significant differences were found among groups regarding Periotest values. After 1 week, in comparison of bone to implant contact (BIC), group Z showed higher value with significant difference. In comparison of bone area (BA), group T and group Z showed higher value with significant difference than group ZS. After 4 weeks, in comparison of BIC, group T showed higher value with significant difference. Comparison of BA showed no significant difference among each implant. After 12 weeks, the highest mean BIC values were found in group T with significant difference. Group ZS showed higher BIC value with significant difference than group Z. In comparison of BA, group T and group ZS showed higher value with significant difference than group Z. Conclusion: Zirconia implant showed low levels of osseointegration in this experiment. Modification of surface structure should be taken into consideration in designing zirconia implants to improve the success rate.

연구 목적: 최근 지르코니아 임플란트가 크게 향상된 물리적 성질, 자연치와 유사한 색조, 뛰어난 생체 적합성으로 주목 받고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내에서 시판되고 있는 상용 타이타늄 임플란트와 개발 단계인 지르코니아 임플란트의 골유착을 비교 연구하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 상용 타이타늄 임플란트(T 군)와 기계 절삭된 나사형 지르코니아 임플란트(Z 군), 기계 절삭 후 알루미나 샌드 블라스팅으로 표면 처리된 나사형 지르코니아 임플란트(ZS 군)의 표면 거칠기를 측정한 후 6마리 돼지의 좌, 우측 하지 경골에 식립하여 1주, 4주, 12주에 각각 희생하여 Periotest values (PTVs) 측정, 조직학적 측정 및 조직 계측학적 측정, 주사 전자 현미경 관찰을 시행하였다. 평균 표면 거칠기와 PTVs, 조직계측학적 측정 결과는 일원분산분석을 통해 통계 처리되었다(${\alpha}=.05$). 결과:각 군 임플란트의 표면 거칠기를 측정한 결과 T 군이 Z 군, ZS 군에 비해 더 유의하게 높은 평균 표면 거칠기 값을 보였다. PTVs는 측정 시기 모두에서 T 군이 상대적으로 낮은 값을 보였으나 각 군에 따라, 시기에 따라 모두 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았다. 식립 1주차 골접촉율 측정 결과 Z 군이 T 군, ZS 군에 비해 유의성 있게 높았고, 골면적율은 T 군, Z 군이 ZS 군에 비해 유의성 있게 높았다. 식립 4주차 골접촉율 측정에서 T 군이 Z 군, ZS 군에 비해 유의성 있게 높았고, 골면적율은 군간 유의한 차가 없었다. 식립 12주차 골접촉율은 T 군, ZS 군, Z 군 순으로 낮아졌고 모든 군간 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 존재하였다. 골면적율은 T 군, ZS 군이 Z 군에 비해 유의성 있게 높았다. 결론: 이상의 결과는 지르코니아 임플란트의 골유착이 타이타늄 임플란트에 비해 부족하며, 상용화를 위해서는 지르코니아 임플란트의 표면 변형에 관한 연구가 더 필요함을 시사한다.
