Purpose: The guided bone regeneration (GBR) technique is widely used in periradicular surgery. However, there is still some controversy regarding the effectiveness of GBR in promoting bone healing after periradicular surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the resorbable membrane on the osteointegration of immediate implants in sites with periradicular lesion that had been removed by periradicular surgery. Materials and methods: Six roots of lower second premolars and 15 roots of lower third and fourth premolars of dogs were used as control and experimental teeth, respectively. Periradicular lesions were induced only in the experimental teeth. Twelve weeks later, the control and experimental teeth were extracted and implants were placed immediately. Periradicular lesions were removed with osteotomy, curettage and saline irrigation. Resorbable membranes were used in experimental group 1 but not in experimental group 2. After 12 week of healing period, the implants were clinically not mobile and showed no signs of infection. Data obtained by histomorphometric analysis were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The control group showed a significantly higher bone to implant contact (BIC) ($74.14{\pm}16.18$) than experimental group 1 ($40.28{\pm}15.96$) and 2 ($48.70{\pm}17.75$)(p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between experimental group 1 and 2. Conclusion: Although BIC in experimental groups were lower than in control group, immediate implant can be successfully placed at extraction socket with periradicular lesion and osseous defect. However, the use of resorbable membrane in bony defect created during periradicular surgery was questioned.

A low molecular weight component named bone morphogenetic protein(BMP) chemically isolated from the organic matrix of bone, induce postfetal connective tissue cells surrounding small blood vessels to differentiate into cartilage and bone. The end product of BMP is a spherical ossicle of lamella bone filled with red bone marrow for the functional loading. This is a important point that the graft material is embedded the defect site during the implant surgery. Because present knowledge of the relationship between BMP and bone regeneration arises mainly from studies of induced bone formation in heterotopic sites, it would be helpful to determine whether BMP plays any part in the process of bone healing. The BMPs have been shown to play crucial roles in normal skeletal development as well as bone healing and are able to activate transcription of genes involved in cellular migration, proliferation, and differentiation. The delivery of BMP on matrices has been efficacious in the treatment of defect bone in implant surgery. The purpose of the histologic study was to evaluate the effect of DLB(demineralized lyophilized bone) coated with purified human BMP(hBMP-I) in immediate implant surgery with bony defect to obtain the functional structure of implant asap. The ability of a graft of hBMP-I to accelerate bony defect repair provides a rationale for its use in immediate implant surgery that have large bone defect in edentulous area.

In the recent studies, many authors have reported that the success rate of immediate implantation has no difference compared to conventional staged implantation. Although the immediate implantation has many advantages over conventional approach, many clinicians don't seem to practice because they think that most of the extraction sockets will have some bony gab with defects around implant and that this situation makes the result of immediate implantation unpredictable. We clinically analyzed 23 implanted sites of 18 patients treated with immediate implantation in our hospital from September 2003 to January 2004. The $ITI^{(R)}$. dental implant system was used and GBR procedure with $Bio-Oss^{(R)}$. and $Bio-Gide^{(R)}$. was done simultaneously. The pre & post-op. measurements were recorded such as alveolar crest-adjacent tooth CEJ distance, gingival crest-adjacent tooth CEJ distance, existence of periapical lesion, vertical defect around the extraction socket, horizontal defect around the extraction socket, probing depth, radiologic change of alveolar crest height. We report a positive outcome about immediate implantation with review of literatures.

Introduction: Dental implants are used routinely with high success rates in generally healthy individuals. By contrast, their use in patients with diabetes mellitus is controversial because altered bone healing around implants has been reported. This study examined the bone healing response around titanium implants placed immediately in rats with controlled and uncontrolled diabetes. Materials and Methods: Twenty rats were divided into the control, insulin-treated and diabetic groups. The rats received streptozotocin (60 mg/kg) to induce diabetes; animals in the insulin-treated group also received three units of subcutaneous slow-release insulin. A titanium implant ($1.2{\times}3\;mm$) was placed in the extraction socket of the maxillary first molar and bone block was harvested at 1, 2 and 4 weeks. Results: Bone formation around the implants was consistently (from 1 to 4 week post-implantation) slower for the diabetic group than the control and insulin-treated group. Bone morphogenesis in the diabetic rats was characterized by fragmented bone tissues and extensive soft tissue intervention. Conclusion: The immediate placement of titanium implants in the maxilla of diabetic rats led to an unwanted bone healing response. These results suggest that immediate implant insertion in patients with poorly controlled diabetes might be contraindicated.

Purpose: Many researches showed loss of alveolar bone in fresh extraction socket and even in case of immediate implant placement. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of non-resorbable barrier membrane on the change of buccal and lingual alveolar bone in immediate implant placement into periapically infected extraction sockets. Materials and methods: Immediate implants were placed into artificially induced periapical lesion of mandibular premolars after complete debridement using buccal bone defect made by a 6mm trephine bur in 4 mongrel dogs. Before flap repositioning, a non-resorbable barrier membrane was placed on the buccal defect in the experimental group. No membrane was placed in the control group. In 12 weeks after placement, the dogs were sacrificed and undecalcified histologic specimens were prepared. The vertical distance from the smooth-rough surface interface(SRI) to gingiva, 1st bone contact and bone crest were measured in buccal and lingual side. The horizontal thicknesses of gingiva and bone at 0, 1, 2 and 3mm below SRI were measured. Results: The buccal bone was resorbed more than lingual bone in both groups and there was statistical significance(p<0.05). The distances from SRI to 1st bone contact were $2.45{\pm}2.35\;mm$ in experimental group and $4.49{\pm}3.10\;mm$ in control group. In all vertical level, lingual bone was thicker than buccal bone(p<0.05). Conclusion: Buccal bone was reduced more than lingual bone in immediate implant placement into periapically infected extraction sockets. Placement of non-resorbable barrier membrane reduced the buccal bone resorption. However there was no statistical significance.

Recently, immediately after losing teeth. implant placement has been greatly attempted. Implant can help restoration of tooth functions within short time. This study was an attempt to examine the extent of osseointergation when the implants will be placed immediately after teeth extraction using domestic implant systems. Implants were inserted in beagle dogs and evaluated the clinical, radiological, histological and histomorphometric assay at 6 weeks and 12 weeks. For experimental materals, $STAGE-1^{(R)}$($4.1{\times}8mm$, Lifecore, USA), $SS-III^{(R)}$($4.0{\times}8mm$, OSSTEM, Korea) and $IFI^{(R)}$($4.0{\times}8mm$, Dio, Korea) implants treated with RBM were placed. All the placed site showed normal results without fail and inflammation clinically and radiologically. As a result of measurement by periotest, it showed $-2\;{\sim}\;-5$ and stable status comprehensively. There was no statistically significant difference among implants(p<0.05). Bone tissue adjacent to implant showed increased marrow tissue at 6 weeks. Nevertheless, osteogenic structure was not observed remarkably. In a 12 weeks opinion, bone tissue composed of osseointegration along implant interface showed significantly decreased marrow tissue containing central vessels unlike a 6 weeks opinion and matured compact bone whose osteogenic structure is well formed. BIC were 42.4%, 32.0% and 34.9%, respectively in 6 weeks and there was no statistically significant difference among group(p<0.05). In 12 weeks, BIC were 58.8%, 61.9% and 57.5%. respectively and there was no statistically significant difference among groups(p<0.05). It is considered that all 3 implant systems are suitable for immediate implant placement.

Purpose: The present study was performed to evaluate the effect of surface treatment of the cervical area of implant on bone regeneration in fresh extraction socket following implant installation. Materials and methods: The four minipigs, 18 months old and 30 kg weighted, were used. Four premolars of the left side of both the mandible and maxilla were extracted. ${\phi}$3.3 mm and 11.5 mm long US II plus implants (Osstem Implant co., Korea) with resorbable blasting media (RBM) treated surface and US II implants (Osstem Implant co., Korea) with machined surface at the top and RBM surface at lower portion were installed in the socket. Stability of the implant was measured with $Osstell^{TM}$ (Model 6 Resonance Frequency Analyser: Integration Diagnostics Ltd., Sweden). After 2 months of healing, the procedures and measurement of implant stability were repeated in the right side by same method of left side. At four months after first experiment, the animals were sacrificed after measurement of stability of all implants, and biopsies were obtained. Results: Well healed soft tissue and no mobility of the implants were observed in both groups. Histologically satisfactory osseointegration of implants was observed with RBM surface, and no foreign body reaction as well as inflammatory infiltration around implant were found. Furthermore, substantial bone formation and high degree of osseointegration were exhibited at the marginal defects around the cervical area of US II plus implants. However, healing of US II implants was characterized by the incomplete bone substitution and the presence of the connective tissue zone between the implant and newly formed bone. The distance between the implant platform (P) and the most coronal level of bone-to-implant contact (B) after 2 months of healing was $2.66{\pm}0.11$ mm at US II implants group and $1.80{\pm}0.13$mm at US II plus implant group. The P-B distance after 4 months of healing was $2.29{\pm}0.13$mm at US II implants group and $1.25{\pm}0.10$mm at US II plus implants group. The difference between both groups regarding the length of P-B distance was statistically significant(p<0.05). Concerning the resonance frequency analysis (RFA) value, the stability of US II plus implants group showed relatively higher RFA value than US II implants group. Conclusion: The current results suggest that implants with rough surface at the cervical area have an advantage in process of bone regeneration on defect around implant placed in a fresh extraction socket.

Purpose: Although it is generally accepted that patients with controlled diabetes have similar rates of success for dental implants as healthy individuals, the use of dental implants in diabetic patients is controversial. In addition, the impact of diabetes on the healing of bone associated with immediately place dental implants is not completely understood. The purpose of this study was to measure bone response to implants radiologically in uncontrolled and insulin-controlled diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty rats were divided into control, insulin-treated and diabetic groups. The rats received streptozotocin (60 mg/kg) to induce diabetes; animals in the insulin-treated group also received three units of subcutaneous slow-release insulin. Two titanium implants ($1.2{\times}3$ mm) were placed in the extraction socket of the maxillary first molars of the animals and were harvested at 3 days, 1, 2 and 4 weeks. The bone density was measured by digital radiography using gray-level analysis (histogram) in the regions of interest (ROI) at four points: two mesial and two distal to both sides of the implant. Results: The results showed that the osseointegration of the implants was impaired in the diabetic rats compared to the control and the insulin-treated rats. The radiographic evidence demonstrated marked destruction of bone around the implants in the diabetic group. Both the control and the insulin-treated groups had a significantly higher bone density on radiograph than the diabetic group from the 1 week of the experiment (P<0.05 for each comparison). Conclusion: The present study revealed that the immediate placement of titanium implants in the maxilla of diabetic rat lead to delay in the maturation of bone adjacent to implants. It is expected that the reduced predictability of success of immediate implantation in patient with the uncontrolled diabetes.

Dental implants have been widely used in the treatment of esthetic and functional problems of the mouth due to alveolar bone loss, after tooth extraction. The success of implantation strongly depends on osseointegration. For osseointegration, implant material, methodology, and design have been investigated. For materials, two popular materials at present are titanium and hydroxyapatite. For methods, immediate implantation is being used recently. The purpose of this study is to evaluate osseointegration between the unthreaded cylindrical TPS implant and the HA-coated implant by a histomorphometric analysis. For this analysis, experimental periodontits was induced on the 3, 4 premolars of adult dogs by the ligation of orthodontic threads. Thereafter, each tooth was extracted. TPS. Implants and HA-coated implants were immediately inserted in the extraction socket. In control group, TPS implants were immediately inserted, and In experimental group, HA implants were immediately inserted. The dogs were sacrificed after 12 weeks, then the specimens were prepared for LM and histomorphometric analysis. The conclusion of this study is as follows l. In both control and experimental group, no inflammatory cells were observed. 2. The results of the histomorphometric analysis showed that the total osseointegration was 48.5% in control group, and 68.8% in expermental group. The experimental group was higher than the control group, and the difference was not statistically significant (p<0.05). 3. The results of the histomorphometric analysis showed that the osseointegration in the hole was 40.6% in control group, and 70.2% in experimental group. The experimental group was higher than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). In both control and experinental group, no inflammatory cells were observed. 4. The results of the histomorphometric analysis showed that the osseointegration in the lower part was 52.1% in control group, and 73.3% in experimental group. The experimental group was higher than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). 5. In experimental group, the bone to HA interface seemed to be mixed of bone and HA. We could not distinguish HA from the bone. The HA coating was detached from the titanium surface.

Purpose : Schulte introduced immediate implant cases in 1970s, since then many patients have been treated by immediate implants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cumulative survival rate of immediate implant and to analyze various factors associated with survival of immediate implant in a 8-year period retrospectively. Materials and methods : From May, 2000 to October, 2007, 77 implants were placed in 63 patients immediately after tooth extraction at Department of Periodontology, Yonsei University Hospital. The implant survival rate was analyzed using a life-table analysis. After delivery of prosthesis, along 1 year of observation period, all implants were evaluated clinically and radiographically. Results : Among 77 implants, 59 were placed in maxilla and 18 in mandible. The most common site of the implantation was Mx anterior (65%). The overall survival rate was 94.8% over a mean follow-up period of $44.2{\pm}21$ months and the 8-year cumulative survival rate was 94.6%. Failure occurred in 4 implants, all of which were due to early failures. None of the following factors were significantly associated with the survival of immediate implants: advanced surgical technique including bone graft and guided bone regeneration, the types of implants, causes of tooth loss, and types of prosthesis. Conclusion : On the basis of 8-year life time analysis, immediate implant placement can be considered a safe and predictable treatment mordality.
