Abstract

Purpose: The various suture techniques can be utilized in order to maximize the keratinized tissue healing around dental implants. The aim of this study is to compare the soft tissue healing pattern between two different suture techniques after implant placement. Materials and Methods: 15 patients with 18 implants were enrolled in this study. Simple implant placement without any additional bone graft was performed. Two different suture techniques were used to tug in the mobilized flap near the healing abutment after paramarginal flap design. Digital intraoral scan was performed at baseline, post-operation, stitch out, and 3 months after operation. The scan data were aligned using multiple points such as cusp, fossa of adjacent teeth, and/or healing abutment. After subtracting scan data at baseline with other time-point results, closed space indicating volume increment of peri-implant mucosa was selected. The volume of the close space was measured in mm3. The volume between two suture techniques at three time-points was compared using nonparametric rank-based analysis. Results: Healing was uneventful in both groups. Both suture technique groups showed increased soft tissue volume immediately after surgery. The amount of volume increment significantly decreased after 3 months (P < 0.001). Flap folding suture group showed higher median of volume increment than interrupted suture group after 3 months without any statistical significance (P > 0.05). Conclusion: After paramarginal flap reflection, the raised flaps stabilized by flap folding suture showed relatively higher volume maintenance after 3-month healing period. However, further studies are warranted.

목적: 다양한 봉합술을 통해 임플란트 주변에 최적화된 각화점막을 확보하려는 시도가 진행되었다. 본 연구의 목적은 임플란트 식립 후 2개의 서로 다른 봉합술 시행 후 연조직의 치유 양상을 평가하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 15명의 환자에서 18개의 임플란트가 식립되었고 연구에 포함되었다. 부가적인 골이식 없이 단순 임플란트 식립만 진행하였다. 2개의 서로 다른 봉합술을 이용해 paramarginal flap design을 시행한 협측 판막을 임플란트 치유 지대주 하방으로 고정하였다. 디지털 구내 스캐너를 이용하여 초진, 수술 직후, 발사, 3개월 시점에 스캔을 진행하였다. 각 시점에 따른 스캔 데이터를 인접치의 교두, 소와, 치유지대주 등의 여러 점들을 기준으로 초진 데이터와 중첩하였다. 각 시점의 스캔 데이터를 초진 데이터와 subtraction한 다음 임플란트 주위 연조직의 증가량에 해당하는 폐곡면의 부피를 측정하였다. 폐곡면의 부피는 mm3 단위로 계측하였다. 3개 시점에서 2개의 서로 다른 봉합술에 의한 부피 변화를 비교하기 위해 nonparametric rank-based 분석을 시행하였다. 결과: 양쪽 군 모두 치유는 양호하였다. 양쪽 봉합군은 수술 후 즉시 연조직 부피의 증가를 보여주었다. 3개월에 걸쳐 부피는 시간에 따라 유의성 있게 감소하였다(P < 0.001). Flap folding suture 군의 연조직 부피는 3개월 시점에서 interrupted suture 군보다 더욱 높은 중앙값을 보였으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다(P > 0.05). 결론: 임플란트 시행 시 paramarginal flap 형태로 거상된 판막을 flap folding suture로 고정한 군은 3개월 치유 기간 후 interrupted suture 군보다 더욱 높은 연조직 증강 수치를 보였다. 하지만 좀더 장기적인 관찰 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
