This paper is the first paper among two papers which constitute the paper about the structural design of a dental implant. This paper surveyed types and characteristics of dental implants. Merits and shortcomings of clinically used dental implants were analysed through this survey. A new structural model of dental implant was proposed on the basis of survey results. Especially, a comparative structural analysis of the new dental implant and the well known dental implants has been performed using the finite element analysis method. The analysis results confirm that the newly proposed dental implant has a good structural performance. The well known dental implants used for the comparative structural analysis are 3i implant and Sargon implant. These implants are imported dental implants and we could know that most implants clinically used are endosteal implants and these two implants(3i implant and Sargon implant) are also endosteal implants.

Nowadays, dental implant is one of the widely used treatment options for edentulous patients. Recently, a method of improving the accuracy of implant surgery using an implant surgical guide has been introduced and widely used in order to accurately place the implant in a proper position. Full-guided and half-guided implant surgery can be distinguished according to the level of surgical guide application during the implant surgery. It is true that full-guided implant surgery exhibits higher accuracy, but half- guided implant surgery is often performed in a clinical situation due to the factors such as the circumstances of the operation. A partially edentulous patient who lost teeth due to tooth fracture and periodontal disease was treated using implant and fixed prosthesis. Half-guided implant surgery was performed using an implant surgical guide during implant surgery, the accuracy of implant placement was analyzed.

For fully edentulous patients, implant-supported overdenture can be considered to enhance chewing efficiency and denture stability. Implant planning software can be used to fabricate a surgical guide for a more precise consideration of anatomic factors and prediction of the shape of definitive prosthesis. Though there are many possible attachments for implant overdenture, milled bar can be useful due to its splinting effect of implants and rigid support of overdenture. This report presents a case of implant-supported milled bar overdenture after guided implant surgery performed with two surgical guide that was fabricated before and after bone reduction.

Bone and soft tissue conditions are important for successful implant treatment. But, the placement itself is also very important. Implants which is installed in the wrong position result in the biological, esthetical and mechanical problems. In order to place an implant in the correct position, the final restoration and diagnostic wax-up should be considered prior to the surgery. If the artificial teeth for the interim denture are directly transferred from the diagnostic wax-up, the operator can try the form of diagnostic wax-up in the mouth. If the surgical template is produced by duplicating the interim denture, the implant can be placed in the planned position. In this case, the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) artificial tooth was precisely milled by the digital duplication of diagnostic wax-up. And interim denture was fabricated by using these milled teeth. After the patient adapted for a sufficient period, the implant was placed at the planned position with surgical template produced by duplicating the interim denture. After confirming sufficient osseointegration, the final prostheses were made to reflect the shape of diagnostic wax-up. Through this procedure, the satisfactory functional and esthetic outcome could be acquired.

One of the fastest growing segments of implant dentistry is the utilization of computed tomography (CT) scan data and treatment planning software in conjunction with guided surgery for implant reconstruction cases. Computer assisted planning systems and associated surgical templates have established a predictable, esthetic, functional technique for placing and restoring implants. Especially, a philosophy of restoratively driven implant placement has been generally adopted. Recently, a variety of commercial dental fields have released their scanning and fabricating protocols and methods for restorations. This process is still being investigated and developed for the most precise and predictable outcome. This case report describes a female patient who wanted dental implants in fully edentulous areas. Restoratively driven implant placements were performed with surgical guide and the patient was fully satisfied with the clinical results, and at 5-year post restorative follow-up assessment, both implant and prosthesis were proved clinical success.

This paper is the second paper among two papers which constitute the paper about the structural design of a dental implant. This paper completed the test drafting for the structural model of the new dental implant whose structural performance was confirmed and verified through the comparative structural analysis carried out in the first paper. This paper finished the structural design of a dental implant by manufacturing the dental implant using CNC machines and so forth on the basis of the completed draft and finally by evaluating the machining condition of the dental implant. The drafting work was performed using MDT(Mechanical Desk Top). The manufacturing work was carried out using CNC machines, general purpose milling machine, and Wire EDM. The manufactured surface condition of the dental implant was evaluated and confirmed finally using an electron microscope. As a result of evaluation, a testing dental implant with very good condition was designed and manufactured.

Dental implant have been in use for a long time to restore at missing tooth. But, To place dental implant at good position very is difficult. Improperly positioned dental implants make some problems to have a good function of dental implant. so, To place dental implant at accurate position is the most important step throughout the whole process. Digital guided system of dental implant is very useful to have a accurate position of dental implant and it makes upper restoration more esthetic and funcional.

Implant-assisted removable partial denture (IAPRD) can be considered as a simple and cost-effective treatment approach for an edentulous patient with anatomical or financial limitations. Recently, it was reported that the application of IARPD with implant supported fixed prostheses covered by the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) were increasing. This case report describes the treatment of maxillary fully edentulous patient with anterior four-implant-supported fixed prosthesis and distal extension IARPD. This treatment approach may be advantageous over maxillary implant overdentures in some circumstances. The patient was satisfied with improved function and esthetics in the anterior area and financial benefit from the NHIS. Further long-term clinical studies are needed to establish clinical validity of the treatment approach described in this case report.

Installation of dental implants at optimal angles and positions is critical in long-term stable implant-supported restorations. Surgery and prosthodontic procedures should be performed accurately as the treatment is planned. In this clinical case, Computer aided design and manufacturing technology was used not only to establish a precise surgical plan, but also to fabricate both provisional and definitive fixed prostheses. A surgical guide was designed to install the implants at proper positions for the definitive prostheses. The patient's esthetic information, which was necessary for the new provisional and definitive fixed prostheses, was obtained from the existing temporary dentures. Finally, the complete mouth fixed implant-supported rehabilitation using monolithic zirconia provided the patient with functionally and esthetically satisfactory prostheses.
