교정치료에서 고정원의 조절은 치료목적을 달성하기 위한 중요한 고려사항이다. 최근 골에서 쉽게 지지를 얻을 수 있는 미니스크류가 개발되고 발전되어 많은 치료에서 사용되고 있는데, 이러한 미니스크류는 해부학적 구조물들의 손상을 최소화 하면서 안전하게 식립하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구는 전산화단층촬영 사진을 이용하여 임상적으로 미니스크류를 흔하게 심는 부위이면서 초기 고정이 약한 상악 구치부 협측 부위의 안전성을 평가하고, 식립 각도에 따른 인접치아에 대한 손상가능성을 평가 하고자 하였다. 상악 구치부 협측에서 $1.2{\times}6.0mm$의 미니스크류를 식립하게 되면 일반적으로 CEJ에서 5~8mm 상방에 그리고 피질골 표면에서 3~5mm 내측에 미니스크류의 끝이 위치하게 된다. 이 경우 각 치근 사이의 면적을 측정하였다. 또한 식립각도를 30도, 45도, 60도로 나누어 식립 각도별 치근 사이의 길이를 측정하였다. 대구치와 대구치 사이, 대구치와 소구치 사이, 소구치와 소구치 사이의 3그룹으로 나누어 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 식립부위에 따른 비교에서 제1대구치와 제2대구치 사이에서 치간골의 면적이 유의하게 작았다. 2) 각도에 따른 비교에서 대구치 사이와 소구치와 대구치 사이에서는 더 기울여 식립 하는 것이 안전함을 보였으나, 소구치 사이에서는 식립 각도가 안전성에 크게 영향을 주지 못했다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 미니스크류를 식립 할 경우 대구치 사이보다는 대구치와 소구치 사이 또는 소구치 사이가 상대적으로 안전한 부위라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 대구치 사이와 대구치와 소구치 사이에 식립 할 경우에는 식립 각도가 증가 할수록 안전하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

임플란트 보철물에 의도적으로 불량 적합을 부여하고, 수직 하중을 가한 후 주변골에 발생되는 응력의 분포를 광탄성 모델을 이용하여 비교 하는 것이다. 광탄성 레진블록 3개를 제작하고 각각에 3개의 Restore$^{(R)}$ $4.0{\times}10$ mm 임플란트를 식립하였다. 대조군은 부적합이 없도록 제작하였고, 실험군은 각각의 금관을 절단하여 $100{\mu}m$의 부적합을 부여한 후 광탄성 응력분석을 시행하였다. 대조군의 경우 하중을 가하지 않으면 응력 집중을 보이지 않았으며, 하중을 가하더라도 그 부위만 응력 집중을 보였고, 중간에 하중을 가하면 전후방으로 응력이 분산되는 양상을 보였다. 의도적으로 부적합을 부여한 경우 하중을 가하지 않더라도 나사를 조이면 고정체 주위에 응력이 발생했고, 하중을 가한 경우 하중을 가한 부위를 포함하여 주변 임플란트에도 응력이 집중되었다. 특히, UCLA로 제작된 보철물이 원추형 중간 지대주를 사용한 경우에 비해 더욱 응력이 집중되었는데, 치근단에서 시작하여 치축을 따라 치경부까지 집중되었다. 보철물의 적합도가 좋지 않은 경우 하중을 가하지 않더라도 응력이 집중되며, 하중을 가할 경우 더욱 심한 응력 집중 양상을 보인다는 점은 정확한 보철물 제작의 중요성을 말하고 있다.

Purpose: Triangulation is the process of determining the location of a point by measuring angles to it from known points at either end of a fixed baseline. This point can be fixed as the third point of a triangle with one known side and two known angles. The aim of this study was to find a clinically adaptable method for applying an optical tracking navigation system to orthognathic surgery and to estimate its accuracy of measuring the bone displacement by use of triangulation methods. Methods: In orthognathic surgery, the head position is not fixed as in neurosurgery, so that a head tracker is needed to establish the reference point on the head surface byusing an optical tracking system. However, the operation field is interfered by its bulkiness that makes its clinical use difficult. To solve this problem, we designed a method using an Aquaplast splinting material and a mini-screw in applying a head tracker on a patient's forehead. After that, we estimated the accuracy of measuring displacements of the ball marker by an optical tracking system with a conventional head tracker (Group A) and with a newly designed head tracker (Group B). Measured values of ball markers' displacements by each optical tracking system were compared with values obtained from fusion CT images for an estimation of accuracy. Results: The accuracy of the optical tracking system with a conventional head tracker (Group A) is not suitable for clinical usage. Measured and predictable errors are larger than 10 mm. The optical tracking system with a newly designed head tracker (Group B) shows 1.59 mm, 6.34 mm, and 9.52 mm errorsin threeclinical cases. Conclusion: Most errors were brought on mainly from a lack of reproducibility of the head tracker position. The accuracy of the optical tracking system with a newly designed head tracker can be a useful method in further orthognathic navigation surgery even though the average error is higher than 2.0 mm.

본 논문에서는 척추체 간 유합용 케이지의 응력방패현상을 감소시키기 위하여 강성 차이에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 최근 의료 임플란트 분야에서는 탄소섬유강화 폴리머를 이용하여 좋은 결과를 보여 왔다. 그러나 생체 역학적으로 이 재료에 대하여 요추체의 안정성과 골 이식재가 받는 응력에 관련한 연구는 없었다. 따라서 이전에 유효화한 요추체 (L2-L5) 비선형 유한 요소 모델을 이용하여 L4-L5 분절의 케이지의 강성 차이에 따른 효과를 알아보기 위하여 탄소섬유강화 폴리머와 티타늄 케이지를 이용한 후방 요추체 유합 모델을 만들었다. 자가골 보다 강성이 작은 탄소 섬유강화폴리머 케이지는 인접 분절의 하종판에 응력이 적게 걸리며, 골 이식재에 응력은 증가시켰다. 위의 결과로 탄소섬유강화 폴리머 케이지는 응력 방패 현상을 감소시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 골 유합률을 증가시킬 수 있다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to confirm the anatomic conformity of the new periarticular locking plates designed by Zimmer on Korean adult bones and to identify the structures at risk during the application of these implants. Methods: The study was performed on the humerus, radius, and tibia of 10 adult cadavers(6 males and 4 females) procured from the cadaveric lab of our hospital. Anteroposterior (AP) and lateral X-rays were taken to confirm that the cadavers were free of any unusual lesions or anatomic variations. We used the 3.5-mm proximal humerus plate, 2.7-mm distal radius plate, 3.5- and 5.0-mm proximal tibia plates, and 3.5-mm distal tibia plate developed by Zimmer, Inc. (Zimmer periarticular locking plate). The longest plate from each group was used to confirm anatomical conformity. Standard approaches were used for each area, and soft tissue was retracted in order to pass the plate beneath the muscle. The position of the plate was confirmed using standard AP and lateral view X-rays. After this procedure had been completed, the region was dissected along the length of the implant to determine the conformity of the implant to bone and the penetrations of screws into the articular surface or violations of any vital structures, such as nerves, blood vessels, or tendons. Results: Excellent anatomical conformity was observed with Zimmer periarticular locking plates for Korean adults. The tibial nerve and the posterior tibial artery were found to be structures at risk when applying a distal tibial plate. Conclusion: Additional posterolateral fixation is recommended when dealing with cases of tibial plateau fracture when the fracture line extends to the posterolateral cortex. We recommend taking proper views using 10~15 degrees of internal rotation to ensure correct screw length and, thus, avoid penetration of vital structures and tendons.

하악 제 1대구치에 티타늄과 지르코니아 소재의 기성 지대주와 맞춤형 지대주를 이용해 지르코니아 크라운으로 수복한 경우를 3차원 유한요소법을 통해 응력 분포를 분석해 보고, 피로 파절 강도 및 파절 형태를 고찰해 보았다. 정상교합자의 CT scan을 재구성한 하악골 모형상에 제 1대구치 임플란트 지지 지르코니아 크라운으로 수복한 6가지 유한요소 모형을 제작하고, 협측 교두 중앙에 수직과 30도 각도로 100 N의 하중을 가하는 조건으로 응력분포를 분석하였다. 현재 임상적으로 사용되고 있는 4가지 지대주를 이용하여, 군당 10개의 시편을 제작하고, ISO 14801에 따라 피로파절 실험을 실시하였다. 지대주나 고정체의 재질에 따른 응력분포의 차이는 없었고 형태에 따른 응력크기의 차이만 보였다. 맞춤형 지대주 군이 전반적으로 낮은 크라운 응력을 나타내었으며, 지대주 일체형 지르코니아 임플란트는 계면 골조직의 응력이 가장 낮게 나타났다. 피로수명의 평균값은 7군이 가장 높았고, 1군, 2군, 3군의 순서로 낮게 나타났으며(P<0.05), 기성 지대주 군은 피로수명의 편차가 적게 나타났다. 구치부의 임플란트 수복 시에는 맞춤형 지대주의 사용이 상부 보철물의 파절저항성 향상에 유리하며, 심미적 요구도가 높은 경우에는 고정체와의 접합부를 티타늄으로 제작한 지르코니아 맞춤형 지대주의 사용을 고려해 볼 만 하다.

Statement of problem. Unreasonable distal cantilevered implant-supported prosthesis can mask functional problems of reconstruction temporarily, but it can cause serious strain and stress around its supported implant and surrounding alveolar bone. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate strain of implants supporting distal cantilevered fixed prosthesis with two different cantilevered length under distal cantilevered static load. Material and methods. A partially edentulous mandibular test model was fabricated with auto-polymerizing resin (POLYUROCK; Metalor technologies, Stuttgart, Swiss) and artificial denture teeth (Endura; Shofu inc., Kyoto, Japan). Two implants-supported 5-unit screw-retained cantilevered fixed prosthesis was made using standard methods with Type III gold alloy (Harmony C&B55; Ivoclar-vivadent, Liechtenstein, Germany) for superstructure and reinforced hard resin (Tescera; Ivoclar-vivadent, Liechtenstein, Germany) for occlusal material. Two strain gauges (KFG-1-120-C1-11L1M2R; KYOWA electronic instruments, Tokyo, Japan) were then attached to the mesial and the distal surface of each standard abutment with adhesive (M-bond 200; Tokuyama, Tokyo, Japan). Total four strain gauges were attached to test model and connected to dynamic signal conditioning strain amplifier (CTA1000; Curiotech inc., Paju, Korea). The stepped $20{\sim}100$ N in 25 N increments, cantilevered static load 8mm apart (Group I) or 16mm apart (Group II), were applied using digital push-pull gauge (Push-Pull Scale & Digital Force Gauge, Axis inc., Seoul, Korea). Each step was performed ten times and every strain signal was monitored and recorded. Results. In case of Group I, the strain values were surveyed by $80.7{\sim}353.8{\mu}m$ in Ch1, $7.5{\sim}47.9{\mu}m/m$ in Ch2, $45.7{\sim}278.6{\mu}m/m$ in Ch3 and $-212.2{\sim}718.7{\mu}m/m$ in Ch4 depending on increasing cantilevered static load. On the other hand, the strain values of Group II were surveyed by $149.9{\sim}612.8{\mu}m/m$ in Ch1, $26.0{\sim}168.5{\mu}m/m$ in Ch2, $114.3{\sim}632.3{\mu}m/m$ in Ch3, and $-323.2{\sim}-894.7{\mu}m/m$ in Ch4. Conclusion. A comparative statistical analysis using paired sample t-test about Group I Vs Group II under distal cantilevered load shows that there are statistical significant differences for all 4 channels (P<0.05).

Statement of problem. The performance and maintenance of implant-supported prostheses are primarily dependent upon load transmission both at the bone-to-implant interface and within the implant-abutment-prosthesis complex. The design of the interface between components has been shown to have a profound influence on the stability of screw joints. Purpose. The Purpose of this study was to compare the strength and the fatigue resistance of 1-piece and 2-piece abutment connected to oral implant, utilizing an internal conical interface. Material and methods. Twenty $Implatium^{(R)}$ tapered implants were embedded to the top of the fixture in acrylic resin blocks. Ten $Combi^{(R)}$(1-piece) and $Dual^{(R)}$(2-piece) abutments of the same dimension were assembled to the implant, respectively. The assembled units were mounted in a testing machine. A load was applied perpendicular to the long axis of the assemblies and the loading points was at the distance of 7mm from the block surface. Half of 1-piece and 2-piece abutment-implant units were tested for the evaluation of the bending strength, and the others were cyclically loaded for the evaluation of the fatigue resistance until plastic deformation occurred. Nonparametric statistical analysis was performed for the results. Results. Mean plastic and maximum bending moment were $1,900{\pm}18Nmm,\;3,609{\pm}106Nmm$ for the 1-piece abutment, and $1,250{\pm}31Nmm,\;2,688{\pm}166Nmm$ for the 2-piece abutment, respectively. Mean cycles and standard deviation when implant-abutment joint showed a first plastic deformation were $238,610{\pm}44,891$. cycles for the 1-piece abutment and $9,476{\pm}3,541$ cycles for the 2-piece abutment. A 1-piece abutment showed significantly higher value than a 2-piece abutment in the first plastic bending moment (p<.05), maximum bending moment (p<.05) and fatigue strength (p<.05). Conclusion. Both 1-piece and 2-piece conical abutment had high strength and fatigue resistance and this suggests long-term durability without mechanical complication. However, the 1-piece conical abutment was more stable than the 2-piece conical abutment in the strength and the fatigue resistance.

Statement of problem : Little is known about the effect of a counter-torque device and the internal hexagon of abutment on the tightening torque transmitted to the implant. Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a counter-torque device and the internal hexagon of abutment on the tightening torque transmitted to the implant. Material and Methods : In this study, three types of abutment were used, (1) two-piece conical abutment with hexagon, (2) two-piece conical abutment without hexagon, and (3) one-piece conical abutment without hexagon. The experimental groups were divided into five groups according to the type of abutment and the usage of a counter-torque device. Group I : two-piece conical abutment with internal hexagon was tightened without the use of a counter-torque device. Group II : two-piece conical abutment without internal hexagon was tightened without the use of a counter-torque device. Group III : one-piece conical abutment without internal hexagon was tightened without the use of a counter-torque device. Group IV : two-piece conical abutment with internal hexagon was tightened with the use of a counter-torque device Group V : two-piece conical abutment without internal hexagon was tightened with the use of a counter-torque device. Abutments were tightened 20Ncm torque with the use of manual torque wrench and then torque values were measured by torque-gauge. After the measurement of torque values, all groups were loosened with the use of manual torque wrench and then detorque values were measured by torque-gauge. Results : The results were as follows. 1. There were no differences in torque values among three types of abutment. 2. Regardless of the existence of the internal hexagon of abutment, a counter-torque device decreased the tightening torque transmitted to the implant about 92% 3. In group III showed the highest detorque value, however there were no differences among group I, II, IV and V. Conclusion : Within the limitations of this study, it was concluded that the internal hexagon of abutment has no effect on the tightening torque transmitted to the implant and the detorque value of abutment screw. The use of a counter-torque device is essential to prevent microfracture on the implant-bone interface but has no effect on preload.

Background: Le Fort I osteotomy is a highly effective treatment for skeletal jaw deformities and is commonly performed. High Le Fort I osteotomy is a modified surgical procedure performed for improving the depression of the cheeks by setting the osteotomy higher than the conventional Le Fort I osteotomy. Developments in three-dimensional (3D) technology have popularized the use of 3D printers in various institutions, especially in orthognathic surgeries. In this study, we report a safe and inexpensive method of performing a high Le Fort I osteotomy using a novel 3D device and piezosurgery, which prevent tooth root injury without disturbing the operation field for patients with a short midface and long tooth roots. Results: A 17-year-old woman presented with facial asymmetry, mandibular protrusion, a short midface, and long tooth roots. We planned high Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy. Prevention of damage to the roots of the teeth and the infraorbital nerve and accurate determination of the posterior osteotomy line were crucial for clinical success. Le Fort I osteotomy using 3D devices has been reported previously but were particularly large in size for this case. Additionally, setting the fixing screw of the device was difficult, because of the risk of damage to the roots of the teeth. Therefore, a different surgical technique, other than the conventional Le Fort I osteotomy and 3D device, was required. The left and right parts of the 3D device were fabricated separately, to prevent any interference in the surgical field. Further, the 3D device was designed to accurately cover the bone surface from the piriform aperture to the infra-zygomatic crest with two fixation points (the anterior nasal spine and the piriform aperture), which ensured stabilization of the 3D device. The device is thin and does not interfere with the surgical field. Safe and accurate surgical performance is possible using this device and piezosurgery. The roots of the teeth and the infraorbital nerve were unharmed during the surgery. Conclusions: This device is considerably smaller than conventional devices and is a simple, low-cost, and efficient method for performing accurate high Le Fort I osteotomy.
