Purpose: A study analysed the stress distribution of abutment screw and supporting bone of fixture by the tightening torque force of the abutment screw within clinical treatment situation for the stability of the dental implant prosthesis. Methods: The finite element analysis was targeted to the mandibular molar crown model, and the implant was internal type 4.0 mm diameter, 10.0 mm length fixture and abutment screw and supporting bone. The occlusal surface was modeled in 4 cusps and loaded 100 N to the buccal cusps. The connection between the abutment and the fixture was achieved by combining three abutment tightening torque forces of 20, 25, and 30 Ncm. Results: The results showed that the maximum stress value of the supporting bone was found in the buccal cortical bone region of the fixture in all models. The von Mises stress value of each model showed 184.5 MPa at the 20 Ncm model, 195.3 MPa in the 25 Ncm model, and 216.5 MPa in the 30 Ncm model. The contact stress between the abutment and the abutment screw showed the stress value in the 20 Ncm model was 201.2 MPa, and the 245.5 MPa in the 25 Ncm model and 314.0 MPa in the 30 Ncm model. Conclusion: The increase of tightening force within the clinical range of the abutment screw of the implant dental prosthesis was found to have no problem with the stability of the supporting bone and the abutment screw.

다수의 치아를 상실한 부분무치악 환자의 치료방법으로는 임플란트 고정성 보철물과 가철성 국소의치가 주로 이용되며, 최근에는 골흡수가 심한 부분무치악 환자에서 의치의 유지와 안정을 위해 임플란트를 추가적으로 이용하는 임플란트 보조 국소의치(implant-assisted removable partial denture, IARPD)를 전략적으로 선택하게 된다. 안면골 감염의 일종인 골수염으로 인한 악안면 구조의 상실은 저작, 연하, 발음과 같은 기능장애 및 사회적, 심리적인 영향을 유발하므로 상실된 조직회복을 위해 가철성 수복이 필요하고 지대치와 국소의치의 설계가 치료의 성공에 더욱 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 이 경우 전통적인 가철성 국소의치에 비해 높은 유지력과 안정성을 가지는 IARPD는 좋은 예후를 보일 수 있다. 본 증례는 골수염 치료로 인해 골결함이 있는 부분무치악 환자에서 IARPD 수복으로 의치의 안정성을 확보하고, 여러 차례에 걸친 임시수복을 통해 적절한 의치 설계와 교합양식을 부여함으로써 최종적으로 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 최소화하고 장기적으로 양호한 예후를 기대할 수 있기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Excessive heat generation at the implant-bone interface may cause irreversible bone damage and loss of osseointegration. The effect of heat generation in vitro at the implant surface caused by abutment reduction with high-speed dental turbine was examined. Titanium-alloy abutments connected to a titanium alloy screw-implant embedded in an acrylic-resin block in a $37^{\circ}C$ water bath were prepared. Temperature changes were recorded via embedded thermocouples at the cervix and apex of the implant surface. Analysis of variance for repeated measures was used to compare seven treatment groups. Fifty seconds of continuous cutting with air and water coolant caused a mean temperature increase of $1.24^{\circ}C$ at apex and $5.77^{\circ}C$ at cervix. Similar intermittent cutting caused increase of $2.50^{\circ}C$ at apex and $1.64^{\circ}C$ at cervix. But, continuous cutting with air coolant caused a mean temperature increase of $6.47^{\circ}C$ at apex and $5.77^{\circ}C$ at cervix. Similar intermittent cutting caused increase of $6.47^{\circ}C$ at apex and $5.77^{\circ}C$ at cervix. Preparation of implant abutment does not lead to detrimental effect on peri-implant tissues provided that adequate cooling. However, without water cooling, extreme overheating could be provoked, reaching the critical temperature that would lead to irreversible bone damage within only a few seconds.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the biomechanical properties of the dental implants on the supporting bone using three-dimensional finite element method when three different abutment materials were applied to the implant system. Methods: Three different dental implant models were fabricated by applying Ti, PEEK, and CRE-PEEK (60% carbon-reinforced PEEK) to abutment material. The abutment and connecting screw from the fixture was applied with a tightening torque of 20 Ncm. And then, total loads of 150 N were applied in an $30^{\circ}oblique$ direction (to the vertical). The structural stability of dental implants on the supporting bone was analyzed using Von Mises stress and principal stress values. Results: The maximum tensile stress of the cortical bone was highest at 12.6 MPa in the PEEK abutment (Model-B). Ti abutment (Model-A) and CRE-PEEK abutment (Model-C) showed similar stress distributions (10.6 and 10.3 MPa, respectively). And the maximum compressive principal stress was similar in all models. The Von Mises stress value delivered to the bone around the implant was highest at 16.5 MPa in Model-B. On the other hand, Model-A and C showed similar stress distributions (14.0 and 13.8 MPa, respectively). In addition, the maximum equivalent stress applied to the abutment was highest at 629.8 MPa in Model-A. The stress distribution in Model-C was 573.9 MPa. Whereas, Model-B showed the lowest value at 165.6 MPa. Conclusion : The dental implant supporting bone system using PEEK material seems to have the possibility of supporting bone fracture. It was found that the CRE-PEEK abutment can reduce the elastic deformation and reduce the stress value of the interfacial bone.

Dental implants are required to have biomechanical functions and biostability in order to perform authoring, pronunciation, and aesthetic functions in the oral cavity. In terms of biostability, pure titanium for medical have good biostability and no rejection in the alveolar bone. with appropriate strength in terms of strength as well as biocompatibility. In recent years, various surgical methods and devices have been developed to improve the convenience and safety of the procedure. However, as the number of procedures increases, the screw loosening of the abutment screw connecting the artificial root and the abutment There are many reports of artificial root and abutment fracture. Fig. 1 is an example of a case where the upper part of the abutment screw is arbitrarily modified to remove the abutment by the abutment fracture due to the loosening of the abutment screw. The fundamental cause of abduction of the abutment screw is caused by the slight movement due to the lowering of the retention force of the abutment screw. It is necessary to minimize loosening of the abutment screw to avoid problems such as fracture during the period of using the implant. The purpose of this study is to investigate the structure of the abutment screw to prevent the loosening of the abutment screw by forming 0.5mm slot.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of the DENTIS submerged-type implant with an internal hex connection and to build corresponding abutment-selection criteria. MATERIAL AND METHODS. A total of 204 patients received submerged implant fixtures with an internal hex connection at the Dong-A University Hospital Dental clinic in Busan from January 2013 and May 2016. Three specific abutments, UCLA abutments, customized abutments, ready-made abutments, were randomly selected. Implant success was defined as the basis of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists(ICOI, 2007) criteria. The relationship between the implant success rate and the abutment factor was analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test(P<.05). RESULTS. A total of 508 implants were placed in 204 patients. After a mean observation period of 38.6 months, 493 out of 508 implants were in normal function, yielding an overall success rate of 97.05%. A total of 15 implants failed: 10 in the maxillary molar area, 4 in the mandibular molar area, and 1 in the mandibular incisal area. All of the implant failures occurred in a single-implant prosthesis, especially high in the maxillary molar area. The Kruskal-Wallis analysis showed that abutment selection has no significant correlation with implant failure(P>.05). CONCLUSION. DENTIS submerged implants with an internal hex connection showed predictable results with a success rate of 97.05%. It is no influence on the success rate in the selection of submerged implant abutment with an internal hex connection.

Purpose: This study aimed to comparatively evaluate the stress distribution of bones surrounding the implant system to which both titanium and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) abutments are applied using a three-dimensional finite element analysis. Methods: The three-dimensional implant system was designed by the computer-aided design program (CATIA; Dassault Systemes). The discretization process for setting nodes and elements was conducted using the HyperMesh program (Altair), after finishing the design of each structure for the customized abutment implant system. The results of the stress analysis were drawn from the Abaqus program (Dassault Systèmes). This study applied 200 N of vertical load and 100 N of oblique load to the occlusal surface of a mandibular first molar. Results: Under external load application, the PEEK-modeled dental implant showed the highest von Mises stress (VMS). The lowest VMS was observed in the Ti-modeled abutment screws. In all groups, the VMS was observed in the crestal regions or necks of implants. Conclusion: The bones surrounding the implant system to which the PEEK abutment was applied, such as the cortical and trabecular bones, showed stress distribution similar to that of the titanium implant system. This finding suggests that the difference in the abutment materials had no effect on the stress distribution of the bones surrounding implants. However, the PEEK abutments require mechanical and physical properties improved for clinical application, and the clinical application is thought to be limited.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the stress distribution and deformation in implant abutments made from titanium (Ti-6Al-4V), zirconia, and polyetheretherketone (PEEK), including their screws and fixtures, under various loading conditions using finite element analysis (FEA). Methods: Three-dimensional models of the mandible with implant abutments were created using Siemens NX software (NX10.0.0.24, Siemens). FEA was conducted using Abaqus to simulate occlusal loads and assess stress distribution and deformation. Material properties such as Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio were assigned to each component based on literature and experimental data. Results: The FEA results revealed distinct stress distribution patterns among the materials. Titanium alloy abutments exhibited the highest stress resistance and the most uniform stress distribution, making them highly suitable for long-term stability. Zirconia abutments showed strong mechanical properties with higher stress concentration, indicating potential vulnerability to fracture despite their aesthetic advantages. PEEK abutments demonstrated the least stress resistance and higher deformation compared to other abutment materials, but offered superior shock absorption, though they posed a higher risk of mechanical failure under high load conditions. Conclusion: The study emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate materials for dental implants. Titanium offers durability and uniform stress distribution, making it highly suitable for long-term stability. Zirconia provides aesthetic benefits but has a higher risk of fracture compared to titanium. PEEK excels in shock absorption but has a higher risk of mechanical failure compared to both titanium and zirconia. These insights can guide improved implant designs and material choices for various clinical needs.
