최근 손상된 생체조직의 재생 또는 대체를 위하여 다공성의 지지체(scaffold)를 이용하는 연구가 활발히 이루어져 왔다. 지지체 재료는 조직 재생을 목적으로 하는 경우에는 생분해성 고분자, 생흡수성 세라믹스 또는 이들의 복합재료가 사용되고, 조직 대체를 목적으로 하는 경우에는 금속 또는 세라믹스 재료가 단독으로 사용된다. 현재 경조직 대체를 위한 임플란트 재료로 사용되고 있는 금속재료 중 대부분이 타이타늄 또는 타이타늄 합금이다. 타이타늄은 비강도, 내식성이 우수하며, 생체 내 환경에서 부동태피막 재생 속도가 빠르고, 섬유상 결체조직 형성 두께가 얇아 생체의료용 소재로서 각광을 받고 있다. 다공성 타이타늄은 기존 타이타늄 소재의 장점에 다공체의 구조적인 특성을 부가하여 하중을 받는 골 결손부에 사용될 경우 뼈와의 탄성계수 차이에서 기인하는 응력차폐(stress shielding) 효과를 최소화할 수 있고, 다공체 내부로 골조직 성장을 유도할 수 있어 지지체와 골조직이 일체화되는 골융합 효과의 극대화를 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기공 구조를 다양하게 제어할 수 있고, 3차원적 연결 기공구조를 만들 수 있는 적층조형(layer manufacturing) 기술을 이용하여 3차원 다공성 타이타늄 지지체를 제조하였으며, 이에 대한 세포독성, 조골세포 증식능 등 in vitro 생체적합성을 평가하고, Rat model 을 이용한 in vivo 생체적합성을 평가하였다. 또한 지지체의 골조직 재생 유도성의 증대를 위한 생체활성처리 영향도 분석 평가하였다.

In tissue engineering, a scaffold is a three-dimensional(3D) structure that serves as a template for regeneration the functions of damaged tissues or organs. Among materials for scaffolds, polycaprolactone(PCL) and ${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate(${\beta}$-TCP) are biodegradable and biocompatible. In this study, we fabricated 3D PCL, blended PCL (60 wt %)/${\beta}$-TCP (40 wt %), and pure ${\beta}$-TCP scaffolds by a multi-head scaffold fabrication system. Scaffolds with a pore size of $600{\pm}20{\mu}m$ was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The effects of 3D PCL, blended PCL (60 wt %)/${\beta}$-TCP (40 wt %) and pure ${\beta}$-TCP scaffolds were analyzed by evaluating their mechanical characteristics. In addition, in an in-vitro study using osteoblast-like saos-2 cells, we confirmed the effects of 3D scaffolds on cellular behaviors such as cell adhesion and proliferation. In summary, the 3D blended PCL (60 wt %)/${\beta}$-TCP (40 wt %) scaffold was found to be suitable for human cancellous bone in terms of its the compressive strength, biocompatibility, and osteoconductivity. Thus, blending PCL and ${\beta}$-TCP could be a promising approach for fabricating 3D scaffolds for effective bone regeneration.

To improve osseointegration at the boneto-implant interface, several studies have been carried out to modify titanium surface. Variations in surface texture or microtopography may affect the cellular response to an implant. Osteoblast-like cells attach more readily to a rougher titanium surface, and synthesis of extracellular matrix and subsequent mineralization were found to be enhanced on rough or porous coated titanium. However, regarding the effect of roughened surface by physical and mechanical methods, most studies carried out on the reactions of cells to micrometric topography, little work has been performed on the reaction of cells to nanotopography. The purpose of this study was to examme the response of osteoblast-like cell cultured on blasted surfaces and alkali treated surfaces, and to evaluate the influence of surface texture or submicro-scaled surface topography on the cell attachment, cell proliferation and the gene expression of osteoblastic phenotype using ROS 17/2.8 cell lines. In scanning electron micrographs, the blasted, alkali treated and machined surfaces demonstrated microscopic differences in the surface topography. The specimens of alkali treatment had a submicro-scaled porous sur-face with pore size about 200 nm. The blasted surfaces showed irregularities in morphology with small(<10 ${\mu}m$) depression and indentation among flatter-appearing areas of various sizes. Based on profilometry, the blasted surfaces was significantly rougher than the machined and the alkali treated surfaces (p$TiO_2$) were observed on alkali treated surfaces, whereas not observed on machined and blasted surfaces. The attachment morphology of cells according to time was observed by the scanning electron microscope. After 1 hour incubation, the cells were in the process of adhesion and spreading on the prepared surfaces. After 3 hours, the cells on all prepared surfaces were further spreaded and flattened, however on the blasted and alkali treated surfaces, the cells exhibited slightly irregular shapes and some gaps or spaces were seen. After 24 hours incubation, most cells of the all groups had a flattened and polygonal shape, but the cells were more spreaded on the machined surfaces than the blasted and alkali treated surfaces. The MTT assay indicated the increase on machined, alkali treated and blasted surfaces according to time, and the alkali treated and blasted surfaces showed significantly increased in optical density comparing with machined surfaces at 1 day (p<0.01). Gene expression study showed that mRNA expression level of ${\alpha}\;1(I)$ collagen, alkaline phosphatase and osteopontin of the osteoblast-like cells showed a tendency to be higher on blasted and alkali treated surfaces than on the machined surfaces, although no siginificant difference in the mRNA expression level of ${\alpha}\;1(I)$ collagen, alkaline phosphatase and osteopontin was observed among all groups. In conclusion, we suggest that submicroscaled surfaces on osteoblast-like cell response do not over-ride the one of the surface with micro-scaled topography produced by blasting method, although the microscaled and submicro-scaled surfaces can accelerate osteogenic cell attachment and function compared with the machined surfaces.

When restoring edentulous patients with lower complete denture, the smaller supportive and retentive area of mandible can lead to poor support and stability, denture dislodgement and pain resulting discomfort. In this situation, implant prosthesis can improve esthetics, stability and occlusal force. Whereas, patients with a upper complete denture can adjust more easier because of palate. Therefore, it is suggested to rehabilitate fully edentulous patients with lower implant-supported, upper complete denture as one of the treatment options. So, we are going to report the case and literature review about how the lower implant prosthesis opposing to upper complete denture affects the bone resorption of maxillary residual ridge.

Statement of problem: The position and length of cantilever influence on the stress distribution of implants, superstructure and bone. In edentulous mandible, implant-supported cantilever prostheses that based 4 or 6 implants between mental foramens has been attempted. Excessive bite force loaded at cantilever prosthesis causes bone resorption and breakage of superstructure prosthesis around posterior implants. To complement the cantilever length of conventional prosthesis, In 1992, (McCartney) introduced "cantilever-rest-implant" and Malo reported "All-on-Four" in 2003. Purpose: Analyze and compare the stress distribution of conventional cantilever prostheses with rest implant and All-on-$Four^{TM}$ implant prostheses. Material and method: The external loads(300 N vertically, 75 N horizontally) are applied to first molar area. The stress value, stress distribution and aspect of stress dispersion are analyzed by three-dimensional finite element analysis program, ANSYS ver. 10.0. Results: 1. The rest implant and "All-on-Four" implant system are superior to conventional cantilever prostheses to reduce stress on the bone and the superstructure around implants. 2. The rest implant was of the greatest advantage to stress distribution on bone, implant and superstructure. 3. With same number of implants, distally tilted implants are preferred to conventional cantilever prostheses for reducing the length of cantilever.

chitosan은 골치유증진 및 골세포의 분화를 촉진하는 것으로 알려진 천연의 생분해성 고분자이다. 이연구에서는 chitosan 및 chitosan/tricalcium phosphate(TCP) 다공성 기질을 제조하여 골이식재 및 조직공학적 골형성을 위한 3차원적 세포배양 지지체로서의 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. chitosan 용액 및 TCP가 포함된 chitosan 용액을 동결건조함으로써 소공의 크기가 $100-200{\mu}m$인 스폰지형태의 chitosan 및 chitosan/TCP 다공성 기질을 제작하였다. 골이식재로서의 효과를 평가하기 위하여 백서의 두개골 결손부에 제작된 chiosan 및 chitosan/TCP 다공성 기질을 각각 이식하고 2주 및 4주 후에 동물을 희생하여 조직학적으로 치유양상을 관찰하였다. 조직공학적 골형성을 위한 세포배양 지지체로서의 가능성을 평가하기 위하여 백서 태자의 두개골에서 분리된 골아세포를 chitosan 및 chitosan/TCP 다공성 기질에 각각 접종하고 56일간 배양하면서 각 기간 별로 세포수, 염기성 인산효소 활성, 축적된 calcium의 양을 측정하였고 배양된 세포-기질 혼합체를 광학현미경 및 주사전자현 미경하에서 조직학적 관찰을 시행하였다. 백서 두개골결손부에 이식된 chitosan 및 chiosan/TCP 다공성 기질은 별다른 이물반응 없이 자연 분해되면서 신생골조직 내에 매립되었으며 이식하지 않은 대조군에 비해 유의하게 높은 신생골형성 효과를 나타내어 우수한 골전도성이 있음이 확인되었다. 신생골형성 양상이나 형성된 양에 있어서 두 가지 기질간의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 골아세포-기질 혼합체의 배양결과, 접종후 배양 28일 경과 시까지 골아세포수는 지속적으로 증가하다가 이후에는 5 8일까지 성장정도가 둔화되었다. 염기성 인산효소의 활성 및 calcium 축적량은 접종후 배양시간경과에 따라 56일까지 지속적으로 증가하였다. 세포수 및 염기성 인산효소의 활성에서 두 기질간의 유의한 차이는 없었고, calcium 축적량에 있어서는 chitosan/TCP 기질에서 유의하게 높았고 증가속도도 컸다. 배양된 골아세포가 접종된 다공성 기질의 조직학적 관찰결과, 골아세포는 다공성 기질에 잘 부착하여 중층의 형태로 성장하면서 광화된 골기질을 형성함이 관찰되었다. 배양 14일부터 작은 골편형태의 골형성이 기질 표면에 부착되어 관찰되었고, 배양기간이 길어짐에 따라 성장하여 배양 56일째에는 상당한 양의 광화된 골질이 형성됨이 관찰되었다. 배양 56일 경과후의 광화된 골질의 양은 chitosan/TCP 기질에서 더 많았다. 이 연구의 결과, chitosan 및 chitosan/TCP 다공성 기질이 골이식재로서 뿐만 아니라, 조직공학적 골형성에 적용되는 골아세포의 배양을 위한 3차원구조의 세포지지체로 이용되어 골재생술식에 유용한 생체재료로 활용될 수 있음이 확인되었다.

Purpose: This study was aimed to evaluate the result of inlay cortical strut bone grafts for large cysts or cavitary bone lesions in long bones. Materials and Methods: Seven patients with large cyst or cavitary bony lesions were managed with curettage, allogeneic inlay cortical strut and cancellous bone grafts. Additional plate and screw fixations were performed in 6 patients. There were three SBCs, two FDs with secondary ABC changes, one FD and one post-cement spacer removal state. Three of them had pathologic fractures. Progression of bone healing and mechanical support and functional result were evaluated. The mean follow-up period was 25.4 months. Results: Incorporations into host bones were progressed in all, average 4.2 months in six metaphyseal regions and 5.8 months in five diaphyseal regions respectively. Full structural supports were achieved in all except one patient without any additional procedures. No allograft-related complication was developed. Mean functional score according to the MSTS criteria was 29.6 at last follow up. Conclusion: Inlay cortical strut graft provided additional mechanical stability and bone stock for screw purchase in large cyst or cavitary defects of long bones, which allow early mobilization and excellent functional outcome.
