An investigation of reosseointegration according to time course after mechanical loosening of the osseointegrated implant fixtures

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the reosseointegration periods when the rough surface implants, which had complete bone-implant ankylosis, suddenly losed the osseointegration. Materials and Methods: The implants with RBM surface treatment were inserted into both tibias of 23 rabbits. Two implants were submerged into each side. After six weeks, the primary removal torque was measured by Digital torque gauge, and then the implants were replaced and submerged to estimate the level of reosseointegration. After assigned healing periods for each group, the removal torque was measured again. BIC (Bone-Implant contact, %) ratio was measured through histomorphometric analysis.Paired t-test was processed by SPSS 14.0. One-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test was processed to analyze statistically significant differences among the groups. Results: In comparison with the primary removal torque, the secondary removal torque was increased after 11 days and significantly increased from 2 weeks. In fluorochrome labeling, the origin of mineralization was observed after 7 days, which showed as fluorescent bands around the bone-implant interfaces. After 11 days, the bone formation was apparent, and it is increased continuously with the passage of the time. Conclusion: In 11 days after the implant replacement, the secondary removal torque was almost as same as the primary value, and was significantly higher from 2 weeks. The mineralized shapes were observed in 7 days after the implant replacement, and then the bone formation appeared visibly in 11 days.

표면처리 임플란트 고정체의 의원성 동요 후 시간 경과에 따른 재골유착에 관한 연구

목적: 완전한 골-임플란트 결합을 가졌던 임플란트가 갑자기 골유착을 잃은 경우의 시간에따른 재골유착을 연구하기 위함이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 23마리 토끼의 좌우 경골에 각각 2개씩 실험목적으로 제작한 RBM임플란트를 식립 후, 6주 후에 1차로 비틀림 제거력을 측정한 다음, 임플란트를 다시 재위치 침하시키고, 4일, 7일, 11일, 2주, 4주, 6주, 그리고 8주의 재침하시간 경과 후 2차로 비틀림 제거력을 측정하고 시편을 제작하여 조직 형태학적 검사를 하였다. 통계학적 검사를 위해 paired t-test를 시행했고, One-way ANOVA와 Tukey's post-hoc test 통해 그룹간 차이를 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 결과: 1차 비틀림 제거력과 비교해봤을 때 2차에서 11일 후에는 증가했으며, 2주 후부터 유의성 있게 증가하였다. 형광조사검사에서, 7일 후부터 골-임플란트 계면 사이에 형광밴드가 나타나는 광물화 현상이 관찰되고, 11일 후부터는 분명한 골 형성이 나타났다. 결론: 토끼에서는 11일 이후가 되면 충분한 재골유착을 얻을 수 있었다.
