상악 구치부 치조골의 해부학적 한계를 극복하기 위한 다양한 방법들이 시도되고 있다. OSFE법은 상악동거상을 위해 사용되어져 오고 있는 방법중 하나이며 본 연구에서는 Endopore 임플란트를 이용하여 상악동내에서 신생골의 형성을 관찰하였다. 66명의 환자에게 115개의 임플란트를 식립하고 평균 26.3개월동안 방사선학적 검사를 시행하였다. 4환자에게서 5개의 임플란트가 보철수복 후 제거되어 추적기간동안 95.6%의 생존율을 보였다. 상악동내에 형성된 신생골의 높이는 $3.26{\pm}1.04mm$이었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective report was to analyze long-term survival rate of sintered porous-surfaced dental implant ($Endopore^{(R)}$ Dental Implant system, Innova Corporation, Toronto, ON, Canada). Methods: 61 partially edentulous patients were received a total of 127 Endopore dental implants in the maxilla. Of the 127 implants, 24 implants were restored with individual (ie, non-splinted) crowns, while 103 implants were splinted to other implants. Medical records and radiographs were evaluated and analyzed by the cumulative survival rate, location of implants, implants length and diameter, crown/implant ratio and whether the implant was splinted. Chi squire test was used statistically. Result: Of the 127 implants, 8 implants (6.3%) were removed and and cumulative survival rate was 93.7%. Conclusion: Endopore implants showed satisfactory results after up to 8 years function periods in the edentulous posterior maxilla.

Purpose : The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival rate of sintered porous-surfaced implants placed in the edentulous posterior mandibles, in relation to implant length and diameter, crown-to-implant ratio, and types of prostheses, for a maximum of eight years of functioning. Material and Methods : The study group consisted of 43 partially edentulous patients who visited Catholic University Hospital of Daegu and one private dental clinic. A total of 122 sintered porous-surfaced implants n $Endopore^{(R)}$ (Inn ova Life Sciences, Toronto, Ontario, Canada) -- were placed in the edentulous posterior mandibles, Two diameter sizes (4.1 mm and 5.0 mm) and four lengths (5.0 mm, 7.0 mm, 9.0 mm, and 12.0 mm) were used. One hundred and three implants were splinted and 21 implants were nonsplinted. The survival rates of the implants in relation to length, diameter, crown-to-implant ratio, and types of prostheses were investigated. Statistical data were analyzed using SPSS Win.Ver 14.0 software with the Chi-square test. Results : The survival rate of the 4.1mm diameter implants was 100% and 91.2% for the 5.0mm diameter implants. The survival rates of the implants of differing diameters were found to be statistically different (p=0.005). The survival rates of both the 5.0mm and 7.0 mm length implants were 100%. The survival rate of the 9.0mm length implants was 97.9% and for the 12.0mm length implants was 95.1%. There was no statistical difference in survival rates for the differing lengths of implants. Of the 103 prostheses that were splinted, the survival rate was 98.0%. The survival rate of splinted prostheses was higher than that of the non-splinted prostheses, but was found to be not statistically different. There were no failed cases when the crown-to-implant ratio was under 1.0. When the crown-to-implant ratio was between 1.0 and 1.5, the failure rate of the implants was 6.7%. No failure was recorded with the ratio range of 1.5 to 2.0. Relative to the crown-to-implant ratio of 1.0, the failure rates were statistically different (p=0.048). Discussion and Conclusion : The cumulative survival rate of the porous-surfaced implants placed in the edentulous posterior mandibles was 97.5%. Short porous-surfaced implants showed satisfactory results after a maximum of nine years of functioning in the edentulous posterior mandibles.
