목적: 노인 환자에서 식립된 임플란트의 생존율을 조사하고 다양한 요인에 따라 생존율에 미치는 영향을 후향적으로 평가하고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법: 2001년 1월부터 2007년 12월까지 조선대학교 치과병원 치주과에 내원한 65세 이상 노인 환자 56명에게 식립된 138개의 임플란트를 대상으로 하였다.(남자 38명, 여자 18명, 평균 연령$69.38{\pm}3.91$세) 임플란트 생존율은 환자 성별 및 연령, 전신질환 유무, 치아 상실 원인, 식립 위치, 임플란트 직경 및 길이, 골질, 골이식 여부, 상부 보철물 유형에 따라 조사되었다. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis을 통해 각 요인에 따른 누적 생존율을 조사하였고, chi-square test를 통해 누적 생존율과 각각의 요인 간의 통계학적 유의성을 평가하였다. 결과: 보철물 시적 후 5 ~ 140개월 간 추적 관찰을 시행하였다. 65세 이상 노인 환자 56명에게 식립된 총 138개의 임플란트 중 추적 관찰 기간 동안 5개의 임플란트가 실패하였다. 그 중 63개의 임플란트는 환자가 정기적인 내원 약속에 응하지 않아 도중에 조사대상에서 제외되었으며, 결과적으로 5년간 누적 생존율은 94.9%였다. 임플란트 생존율에 영향을 미치는 다양한 요인 중 골질 (P=0.037) 및 상부 보철물 유형 (P=0.015) 간에 누적 생존율이 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 그외 연령, 성별, 전신질환 유무, 치아상실 원인, 식립 위치, 임플란트 직경 및 길이, 골이식 유무 관련 요인과 누적 생존율 사이에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론: 여러 한계가 있었지만 노인 환자의 무치악 부위에 있어 임플란트는 장기간에 걸쳐 예지성 있고 받아들여질 만한 치료이면서 적은 합병증과 실패율을 가진다.

In the mandibular posterior molar area, ridge deficiency is an unfortunate obstacle in the field of implant dentistry. Many techniques are available to rebuild the deficient ridge. Selection and necessity of these techniques are associated with significant morbidity and often require a second surgical site. With the advent of guided bone regeneration (GBR), one may now graft the deficient ridge with decreased morbidity and without a second surgical site. In this case, guided bone regeneration procedures were performed with a combination of allograft, xenograft, and alloplast, excepting autogerous bone at severe defected mandibular alveolar ridge and then placed to the implant successfully. We report that implant placement were good in two cases.

Anchorage plays an important role in orthodontic treatment especially in the maxillary arch. In spite of many efforts for anchorage control. it was difficult for clinicians to predict the result of treatment because most of the treatment necessitated an absolute compliance of patients, But recently, skeletal anchorage has been used widely because it does not necessitate patient compliance but produces absolute anchorage. In addition titanium miniscrews have several advantages such as ease of insertion and removal. possible immediate leading and use in limited implantation spaces. In this case, a skeletal Class I bialveolar protrusion Patient was treated with standard edgewise mechanics using indirect active P.S.A. (palatal skeletal anchorage). The miniscrews in the paramedian area of the hard palate provided anchorage for retraction of the upper anterior teeth and remained firm and stable throughout treatment This indicates that the PSA can be used to reinforce anchorage for orthodontic treatment in the maxillary arch Consequently, this new approach can help effective tooth movement without patient compliance, when used with various transpalatal arch systems.

Purpose. This study was conducted to evaluate clinical usefulness by evaluating the marginal bone resorption and survival rate of an implant with a taper straight type SLA surface domestically available on the market recently. Materials and methods. 40 implants satisfying the including criteria were observed for one year of 125 implants of 83 adult men and women who had KISPLANT^® implanted from August 2016 to December 2019 at the Department of Periodontology, Chonnam National University Dental Hospital. The marginal bone level was measured on periapical radiographs taken initially and 1 year later and we analyzed implant survival and success rates. A t-test was used for the analysis of the association between the marginal bone resorption and the severity of periodontitis, supportive periodontal therapy, the inserted site, the cause of extraction, immediate placement, and systemic disease. Results. After 1 year of loading, the mesial bone resorption was 0.74 ± 1.07 mm, and the distal bone resorption was 0.53 ± 1.04 mm. The marginal bone resorption of 2 mm or more occurred at 3 implants out of 40 implants after 1 year, so the success rate of implant was 92.5% and survival rate was 100%. There was a significant difference in mesial marginal bone resorption according to the inserted site and no significant differences were found between marginal bone resorption and the other factors. Conclusion. As a result of marginal bone resorption, success rate, and survival rate in this study, we found little marginal bone resorption and high survival and success rate. It can be concluded that they represent excellent clinical results.

To evaluate the 3-dimensional features of the grafted bone with maxillary sinus augmentation and to assess the relation between the degree of bone resorption and the type of bone grafting source and implant, and the operation method. A retrospective chart review of patients receiving sinus augmentation procedures for implant positioning was conducted: radiographic analysis of the volume and area of bone grafts was performed. The volumetric remodeling.measured at 6 months after implant positioning as the percentage of residual bone graft.was correlated to type of graft materials and operation methods. 53 dental implants positioned with sinus bone graft in 15 patients at Wonkwang University Sanbon Dental Hospital. Computed tomography scans,taken implant positioning after 6 months, showed greater resorption values for the group of $Puros^{(R)}$ graft alone from the group of mixed with $Puros^{(R)}$ and various bone graft (P<0.05, respectively). And resorption values according to operation methods have statistically significant difference(P<0.05). Volume change ratio of bone graft showed greater values for the group of delayed implant position from the group of simultaneously implant placement with bone graft. Retrospective data analysis shows that the method of graft with $Puros^{(R)}$ alone may occur greater resorption of graft materials than mixed graft material with $Puros^{(R)}$ and other graft materials. The group of simultaneously implant placement with bone graft also display smaller resorption ratio of bone graft than the group of delayed implant placement.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate preprosthetic initial survival rate and factors associated with survival of osseointegrated implants placed in edentulous area of maxilla and mandible and to suspect the possible causes leading to failure. Materials and Methods: A total of 2158 endosseous implants that had been inserted between 2004 through 2013 were placed in 770 patients. The clinical comparisons were performed to evaluate implant loss in relation to age and gender of patients, position, system, length and diameter of implant, and bone graft technique. Results: According to position, the survival rates were 98.23% in maxillary anterior site, 96.98% in maxillary posterior site, 97.85% in mandibular anterior site and 98.76% in mandibular posterior site (P < 0.05). According to diameter of implant, the survival rates were 100% under 3.0 mm, 97.09% between 3.0 to 3.5 mm, 98.19% between 3.5 to 4.0 mm and 98.29% between 4.0 to 4.5 mm but relatively lower survival rate was 75% in 5.0 mm-over (P < 0.05). The survival rates of implants were 89.51%, 98.28%, 98.34% and 99.27% in the group with isolated sinus graft, with isolated GBR, with sinus graft and GBR simultaneously and without bone graft, especially (P < 0.05). Conclusion: This study establishes a relationship between survival rate of implant and position, diameter of implant system and bone graft technique. In conclusion, there were low survival rates in maxillary posterior site, in dental implants with wide diameter of 5 mm-over, and in the group with isolated sinus graft.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to reveal the position of the incisive foramen in relation to the incisive papilla and cusp tips. Methods: Plaster models and CT images of 25 adult orthodontic patients were used to measure the width of the incisive canal and positions of the anterior and posterior borders of the incisive foramen in relation to the incisive papilla. Results: The palatal surface distance from the interdental papilla between the maxillary central incisors to the posterior border of the incisive foramen along the palatal surface was 1.7 fold of the distance from the interdental papilla between the central incisors to the posterior border of the incisive papilla. The distance between the posterior border of the incisive papilla and posterior border of the incisive foramen along the palatal surface was 6.15 ${\pm}$ 1.75 mm. The anteroposterior position of the posterior border of the incisive foramen was slightly anterior to the lingual cusp tips of the maxillary 1st premolars. The width of the incisive foramen was 4.03 ${\pm}$ 0.64 mm, therefore it is recommended to position the mini-implant more than 3 mm laterally when placing a mini-implant lateral to the incisive foramen, from the center. Conclusions: These results can be used as a reference in presuming the position of the incisive foramen when placing mini-implant in the anterior palate area.

Currently, dental implants have become predictable and reliable adjuncts for oral rehabilitation. Osseointegrated implants can be used to provide rigid orthodontic anchorage and have advantages compared conventional orthodontic anchorage especially when there were edentulous areas and implants were scheduled as a treatment plan. Orthodontic force doesn't cause the bone loss of osseointegrated implants. Implant materials, surgical protocols and healing time before loading follow the conventional treatment protocol. Because the implants, once installed, can't change the location, meticulous treatment planning should be preceded. Further investigations are needed to standardize the treatment protocol.

The growth disorder influences craniofacial development and early loss of permanent teeth. This case reports the importance of computerized tomography (CT) and surgical guide to identify horizontal bone loss, adjacent teeth and to guide drills when placing implants in a short stature patient. The patient has idiopathic short stature and the 3rd grade of intellectual disability. To recover posterior mandibular teeth, implant treatment was planned. CT images showed that the adjacent teeth were located markedly to the buccal side. A CT-based surgical guide was fabricated and implants was placed using flapless surgery. Bone dehiscence and fenestration may happen when the surgical guide was fabricated just based on adjacent clinical crowns. Thus, it is essential to analysis bone and teeth and to make surgical guide through CT, especially in atrophied bone on grow disorder patients. Furthermore, systematic researches are recommended to elucidate the relationship between growth disorder and tooth malposition.

The labio-palatal location of the implant in the maxillary anterior region is one of the important factors affecting the aesthetics of the implant prosthesis. However, the thin labial bone of maxilla could be absorbed in significant amounts after extraction of the teeth, which makes the implant be placed on the palatal side rather than the ideal location. In fact, in the cases of maxillary central incisor loss, UCLA was used for prosthetic restoration of palatally placed implant. In addition, with multidisciplinary treatment, GBR (Guided Bone Regeneration) was performed for compensating the absorbed alveolar bone and adjacent anterior tooth were aligned. Definitive restoration was performed after confirming aesthetic recovery of the gingiva with sufficient provisional restoration period. There were satisfactory results of functional and esthetic recovery of tooth loss through implant prosthesis.
