Purpose: A stability-measuring device that utilizes damping capacity analysis (DCA) has recently been introduced in the field of dental implantology. This study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity and reliability of this device by measuring the implant stability of ex vivo samples in comparison with a resonance frequency analysis (RFA) device. Methods: Six implant beds were prepared in porcine ribs using 3 different drilling protocols to simulate various implant stability conditions. Thirty-six pork ribs and 216 bone-level implants measuring 10 mm in height were used. The implant beds were prepared using 1 of the following 3 drilling protocols: 10-mm drilling depth with a 3.5-mm-diameter twist drill, 5-mm drilling depth with a 4.0-mm-diameter twist drill, and 10-mm drilling depth with a 4.0-mm-diameter twist drill. The first 108 implants were external-connection implants 4.0 mm in diameter, while the other 108 implants were internal-connection implants 4.3 mm in diameter. The peak insertion torque (PIT) during implant placement, the stability values obtained with DCA and RFA devices after implant placement, and the peak removal torque (PRT) during implant removal were measured. Results: The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) of the implant stability quotient (ISQ) results obtained using the RFA device at the medial, distal, ventral, and dorsal points were 0.997, 0.994, 0.994, and 0.998, respectively. The ICCs of the implant stability test (IST) results obtained using the DCA device at the corresponding locations were 0.972, 0.975, 0.974, and 0.976, respectively. Logarithmic relationships between PIT and IST, PIT and ISQ, PRT and IST, and PRT and ISQ were observed. The mean absolute difference between the ISQ and IST values on a Bland-Altman plot was -6.76 (-25.05 to 11.53, P<0.05). Conclusions: Within the limits of ex vivo studies, measurements made using the RFA and DCA devices were found to be correlated under a variety of stability conditions.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to investigate the histomorphometric characteristics of the healing process of microcracks in the cortical bone after the installation of mini-implants (MIs). Methods: Self-drilling MIs were inserted into the tibial diaphysis of twelve adult male New Zealand rabbits. Four MIs per rabbit were placed randomly. The animals were divided into four groups according to the length of the healing period: group A was sacrificed immediately, group B was sacrificed after one week, group C was sacrificed after two weeks, and group D was sacrificed after four weeks. Cortical bone thickness was measured using micro-computed tomography, and histomorphometric analyses of the cumulative length of the microcracks (CLCr) and the total number of microcracks (NCr) were performed using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Results: The microcracks were radially and concentrically aligned in the peri-MI bone. The CLCr decreased significantly one week after the surgery, mainly due to healing of the concentrically aligned microcracks. The CLCr showed another significant decrease from two weeks after the surgery to four weeks after the surgery, mainly reflecting healing of the radially aligned microcracks. A statistically significant decrease in the NCr occurred as the microcracks healed from zero weeks to two weeks. However, no significant difference in the NCr was found between groups C and D. Conclusions: In order to improve the primary stability of MIs, delayed loading and a healing period of a certain length are recommended to ensure the optimal healing of microcracks and bone remodeling.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the modified sinus floor elevation technique described hereafter as a "hybrid technique," in 11 patients with severely resorbed posterior maxillae. Methods: Eleven patients who received 22 implants in the maxillary premolar and molar areas by the hybrid technique were enrolled in this study. A slot-shaped osteotomy for access was prepared on the lateral wall along the lower border of the sinus floor. The Schneiderian membrane was fully reflected through the lateral slot. Following drilling with the membrane protected by a periosteal elevator, the bone was grafted. All implants were placed simultaneously with sinus augmentation. The cumulative success rate was calculated and clinical parameters were recorded. Radiographic measurements were performed. Results: All implants were well maintained at last follow up (cumulative success rate=100%). The mean residual bone height, augmented bone height, crown-to-implant ratio, and marginal bone loss were $4.1{\pm}1.64mm$, $8.76{\pm}1.77mm$, $1.21{\pm}0.34mm$, and $0.34{\pm}0.72mm$, respectively. Conclusions: Simultaneous implant placement with sinus augmentation by hybrid technique showed successful clinical results over a 2-year observation period and may be a reliable modality for reconstruction of a severely resorbed posterior maxilla.

Purpose: Modifications of implant design have been related to improving initial stability. The purpose of this study was to investigate their respective effect on initial stability between two tapered implant systems (self-tapping vs. non-self-tapping) in medium density bone using three different analytic methods. Materials and Methods: Self-tapping implant (GS III$^{(R)}$; Osstem Implant Co., Busan, Korea) and non-self-tapping implant (Replace Select$^{(R)}$; Nobel Biocare, G$\H{o}$teborg, Sweden) were investigated. In Solid rigid polyurethane blocks of artificially simulated Quality 2 bone, each of the 5 implants was inserted according to the manufacturer's instructions for medium-bone drilling protocol. Evaluation of initial stability was carried out by recording the maximum insertion torque (IT) and performing the resonance frequency analysis (RFA), and the pull-out test. Results: The IT and RFA values of self-tapping implant were significantly higher than those of non self-tapping implant (P=.009 and P=.047, respectively). In the pull-out values, no significant differences were found in implants between two groups (P=.117). Within each implant system, no statistically significant correlation was found among three different outcome variables. Conclusions: These findings suggest that design characteristics of implant geometry significantly influence the initial stability in medium bone density.

Background: Crestal bone loss known as saucerization is a frequently observed phenomenon. Recent studies have shown that implants with micothreaded crest module reduced the force concentration in the crestal region thus resulting in no or reduced crestal bone loss. This study presents a clinical, histologic, and histometric evaluation of implants with microthreaded crest module and SLA surface. Methods: The implants were placed in the mandible of 5 beagle dogs weighing 10-15kg. Four premolars were bilaterally extracted 8 weeks prior to implant placement. Mucoperiosteal flap was elevated and drilling with increasing diameter was performed under saline irrigation. After countersinking 2 implants were placed in each side resulting in 4 implants per dog. Healing period of 8 weeks was allowed before sacrificing the animals. Histologic preparation was performed for histologic and histometric analysis. Bone to implant contact as well as percentage of bone area inside threads were measured. T-test was used for statistical analysis with pvalue p<0.05. Results: 1. Healing was uneventful without any cover screw exposure. New bone formation around the implants was observed without any inflammatory infiltration. 2. Bone to implant contact in the microthread and thread were 43.90 ${\pm}$ 20.30 %, and 53.19 ${\pm}$ 20.97 % respectively. The overall bone to implant contact was 48.54 ${\pm}$ 20.95 %. 3. Percentage of bone area inside threads were 54.43 ${\pm}$ 10.39 %, and 38.44 ${\pm}$ 16.44 % for the microthread and thread respectively. There was statistically significant difference(p<0.05). The overall percentage of bone area inside threads was 46.67 ${\pm}$ 15.68 %.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to investigate a comparison of implant bone bed preparation with Er,Cr:YSGG laser and conventional drills on the relationship between implant stability quotient (ISQ) values and implant insertion variables. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Forty implants were inserted into two different types of pig rib bone. One group was prepared with conventional drills and a total of 20 implants were inserted into type I and type II bone. The other group was prepared with a Er,Cr:YSGG laser and a total of 20 implants were inserted into type I and type II bone. ISQ, maximum insertion torque, angular momentum, and insertion torque energy values were measured. RESULTS. The mean values for variables were significantly higher in type I bone than in type II bone (P < .01). In type I bone, the ISQ values in the drill group were significantly higher than in the laser group (P < .05). In type II bone, the ISQ values in the laser group were significantly higher than in the drill group (P < .01). In both type I and type II bone, the maximum insertion torque, total energy, and total angular momentum values between the drill and laser groups did not differ significantly (P ${\geq}$ .05). The ISQ values were correlated with maximum insertion torque (P < .01, r = .731), total energy (P < .01, r = .696), and angular momentum (P < .01, r = .696). CONCLUSION. Within the limitations of this study, the effects of bone bed preparation with Er,Cr:YSGG laser on the relationship between implant stability quotient (ISQ) values and implant insertion variables were comparable to those of drilling.

Dental implants have been developed for enhancement of osseointegration. Biocompatibility, bone affinity and surface characteristics of dental implants are very important factors for osseointegration. The aim of the present study was to determine the cytotoxicity and the bone affinity of titanium phosphide(Ti-P) implant material. The Ti-P surface was obtained by vacuum sintering of titanium within compacted hydroxyapatite powder. The composition and the chemical change of the surface were determined by Auger electron spectroscopy. The in vitro cytotoxicity was evaluated by the viability of the bone cells and macrophages obtained from chicken embryo and rat,s peritonium, respectively. For the comparative evaluation, 316L stainless steel, commercially pure titanium and Ti-P materials, prepared in size of 1O.0mm in diameter and 5.0mm in height, were immersed separately in bone cells and macrophages for 10 days. For the evaluation of the in vivo bone affinity, 316L stainless steel, commercially pure titanium and Ti-P materials, prepared in size of 5.0mm in diameter and 10.0mm in length, were implanted after drilling in diameter 5.5mm in femurs of 2 dogs weighing 10Kg more or less. Six weeks after implantation the specimens were prepared for histopathological examination and were observed under light microscope. In comparison of in vitro bone cell viability, Ti-P and commercially pure titanium groups were not significantly different from control group (p>O.1), but 316L stainless steel group was significantly lower than control group(p<0.05). There was no statistical difference in the viability of macrophages between 3 different groups and control group(p>O.l). In comparison of in vivo study, 316L stainless steel and commercially pure titanium showed fibrous encapsulation, but Ti-P showed remarkable new bone formation without any fibrous tissue. The results demonstrate that Ti-P has favorable biocompatibility and bone affinity, and suggest that dental implants with Ti-P surface may enhance osseointegration.

Hydroxyapatite 안구삽입물내로의 섬유혈관증식 여부를 진단하는데 $^{99m}Tc$-MDP 골신티그라피가 유용한지를 알아보기 위해, 전남대학교병원 안과에서 안구적출술 후 hydoxyaptite 안구삽입물을 삽입하고 골신티그라피 검사를 시행한 13예의 환자의 골신티그라피 17예를 분석하고, 이들에서 의안부착을 위해 안구삽입물에 구멍을 뚫을 때 출혈이 있는지를 관찰하여 섬유혈관증식 여부를 확인하였다. 대상환자의 연령은 21세부터 56세까지 분포하였고(평균연령 38세), 성별로는 남자 10, 여자 3예였다. 이 중 2예에서는 2번씩, 또 1예에서는 3번 검사를 시행하였으므로 시행한 골신티그라피는 17번이었고, 이 17예의 검사소견을 분석하였다. 평면상은 정성적으로 판독하였는 데, 안구삽입물에 섭취가 안면골보다 많은 정도를 4+, 안면골과 같은 정도를 3+, 주변 안면골보다 작은 경우를 2+, 섭취가 정상 안구보다 조금 더 진한 정도를 1+로 정하였다. 단면상의 경우는 정상안과 비교한 섭취율을 구하였으며, 그 공식은 (삽입물의 방사능/반대측 안와의 방사능)으로 하였다. 대상환자 모두의 골신티그라피 평면영상에서 1 이상의 섭취를 보였고, 단면상의 정량분석은 1.18이상의 섭취를 보였다. 골신티그라피를 2번 이상 시행한 3예 중 2예에서는 두번째 시행한 골신티그라피상 $^{99m}Tc$-MDP 섭취의 증가가 관찰되었으나, 나머지 1예에서는 3번 시행한 골신티그라피상 전혀 변화를 관찰할 수 없었다. 또 대상환자에서의 안부착시 출혈 여부를 관찰하였는 바 모든 환자에서 충분한 출혈이 있어 삽입물내로 섬유혈관증식이 있음을 확인하였다. 즉, 골신티그라피상 $^{99m}Tc$-MDP 섭취를 보인 안구삽입물 13예 전예에서 삽입물 내로의 혈관증식을 확인하였다. 결론적으로, hydroxyaptite 안구삽입물내로 섬유혈관증식은 매우 잘 일어나며, 주변 안면골보다 낮은 정도의 섭취만 보이더라도 섬유혈관증식 일어난 상태임을 의미하고, 이 경우 안심하고 2차 천공을 시행할 수 있다는 사실을 확인하였다.

Maxillary sinus lift for dental implant installation is a well-known and versatile technique; new techniques are presented based on the physiology of intrasinus bone repair. The aim of this review was to determine the status of graftless maxillary sinus lift and analyze its foundations and results. A search was conducted of the literature between 1995 and 2015 in the Medline, ScienceDirect, and SciELO databases using the keywords "maxillary sinus lift," "blood clot," "graftless maxillary sinus augmentation," and "dental implant placement." Ten articles were selected for our analysis of this technique and its results. Despite the limited information, cases that were followed for at least six months and up to four years had a 90% success rate. Published techniques included a lateral window, elevation of the sinus membrane, drilling and dental implant installation, descent of the membrane with variations in the installation of the lateral wall access and suturing. The physiology behind this new bone formation response and the results of the present research were also discussed. We concluded that this is a promising and viable technique under certain inclusion criteria.

연구 목적: 본 연구에서는 수술가이드를 이용한 무피판 임플란트 술식에서 임플란트 드릴링이 열발생에 미치는 효과를 측정하였으며 드릴링 방법에 따른 온도 차이를 측정하고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 하악 양측 제 1 대구치와 제 2 대구치가 없는 실험 모델에서 피판을 거상하는 임플란트 수술(실험A군)과 수술가이드를 이용한 무피판 임플란트 수술(실험B군), 그리고 핸드피스의 상하 수직 움직임을 제한한 후 수술가이드를 이용하여 무피판 임플란트 수술(실험C군)을 각각 진행하여 온도 측정을 하였다. 임플란트 드릴링 시 온도 측정은 thermocouple과 열전식 온도 기록계(Yokogawa, Tokyo, Japan)를 이용하여 측정하였다. 온도 측정 위치는 최종 임플란트 드릴(직경 3.8 mm)의 경계부에서 0.5 mm 떨어진 곳에서 3 mm 깊이(설측)와 6 mm 깊이(협측)로 하였다. 측정된 온도 값을 이용하여 종속변수인 온도가 정규분포 하는지를 검정하기 위해 Kolmogorov-Smirnov test를 거쳐 확인한 후 세 수술 방법 간의 평균 온도 차이를 검정하기 위해 independent t-test로 분석하였다. 결과: 피판을 거상하고 드릴링을 한 수술군(실험A군)에서 평균 온도는 $27.2^{\circ}C$($SD{\pm}2.1^{\circ}C$)를 보였고 피판을 거상하지 않고 드릴링을 한 수술군(실험B군)에서 평균 $27.5^{\circ}C$($SD{\pm}2.3^{\circ}C$)를 나타냈다. 이들 두 수술 방법 간 온도비교에서는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 수술가이드를 이용하여 무피판 수술 시 상하 수직 움직임(upand-down pumping motion)이 없이 드릴링을 시행한 수술군(실험C군)에서 평균온도는 $37.0^{\circ}C$($SD{\pm}3.4^{\circ}C$)을 보였다. 이를 상하 수직 움직임으로 드릴링을 한 무피판 임플란트 수술군(실험B군)과 비교 시 통계학적으로 유의한 온도 차이를 보였다. 결론: 수술가이드를 이용하여 무피판 임플란트 수술 시 핸드피스를 상하 수직 움직임으로 드릴링을 시행하면 피판을 거상하여 수술할 때와 온도차이가 발생하지 않으나, 상하 수직 움직임 없이 드릴링을 시행하면 드릴링 시 높은 온도 상승을 보인다.
