Statement of problem. Many surface processing methods of dental implant have been developed, the laser processing is one of them. Purpose. This study was to investigate in vitro the fatigue resistance of implants treated with laser method(CSM implant, CSM Company, Daegu, Korea). Material and methods. Fatigue tests of 23 laser treated CSM implant(CSM Company, Daegu, Korea) were conducted using Instron 8871 (Load cell, 5 kN, Instron Co., England), according to ISO 14801 (2003), Results. From 300 N, each specimens were not fractured and withstood until more than 5,000,000 cycle. Conclusion. Within the limits of this in vitro study, implants treated with laser method (CSM implant, CSM Company, Daegu, Korea) have had enough rigidity and fatigue resistance to use clinically with reliance.

Statement of problem. To work the economic limitation of dental implant usage, some types of domestic implant have been developing. But, there have been seldom reported about the clinical success rate of them as yet. Purpose. The aim of this retrospective multicenter study was to evaluate the performance of CSM implants(CSM company, Daegu, Korea). Material and methods. Thirty-five patients were rehabilitated with 150 CSM implants in this multicenter study. Results. The success rate was 96.2%. CSM Titanium fixtures can obtain slightly higher success rate when a cover screw was not used for implant installation than when used. However it doesn't show significant difference(p=.7615, Fisher's Exact test). Conclusion. This multicenter retrospective study demonstrated the efficacy of the CSM implant in the treatment of variety of clinical manifestation of tooth loss. And it can be assumed that whether a cover screw is used or not should no influence on the osseointegration.

Background: In the osseointegration of dental implants, the implant surface properties have been reported to be some of the most important critical factors. The effect of implant's surfaces created by resorbable blast media (RBM) followed by laser ablation on bone tissue reactions was examined using the removal torque test and histomorphometric analysis. Methods: Two types of dental implants, RBM-laser implants (experimental group) and RBM implants (control group) (CSM implant system, Daegu, Korea; L=6 mm, diameter=3.75 mm) were placed into the right and left distal femoral metaphysis of 17 adult rabbits. Six weeks after placement, removal torque was measured and histomorphometric analysis was performed. Results: The mean removal torque was $24.0{\pm}10.2Ncm$ and $46.6{\pm}16.4Ncm$ for the control and test specimens, respectively. The experimental RBM-laser implants had significantly higher removal torque values than the control RBM implants (p=0.013). The mean values of total and cortical bone to implant contact (BIC) were respectively $46.3{\pm}10.8%$ and $65.3{\pm}12.5%$ for the experimental group, and $41.9{\pm}18.5%$ and $57.6{\pm}10.6%$ for the control group. The experimental RBM-laser implants showed a higher degree of total and cortical BIC compared with RBM implants, but there was no statistical significance (p=0.482, 0.225). Conclusion: The removal torque and BIC of the test group were higher than those of the control group. In this study, the surface treatment created by RBM treatment followed by laser ablation appears to have a potential in improving bone tissue reactions of dental implants.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to compare the removal torques of a chemically modified SLActive implant and a blasted, laser-treated (BLT) implant, which were soaked in saline for 2 weeks after their surface modifications. The removal torques of the two implants were measured 4 weeks after their implantation into the bone defect area in rabbit tibias with concentrated growth factor (CGF) application. MATERIALS AND METHODS. To make artificial bone defects in the cortical layers of both tibias, an 8-mm diameter trephine bur was used. Then, prepared CGF was applied to the bony defect of the left tibia, and the bony defect of the right tibia was left unfilled. Four weeks later, the surgical sites of 16 rabbits were re-exposed. For 8 rabbits, the SLActive implants (Straumann, Switzerland) were inserted in the left tibia, and the BLT implants (CSM implant, Daegu, Korea) were inserted in the right tibia. For other rabbits, the BLT implants were inserted in the left tibia, and the SLActive implants were inserted in the right. Four weeks afger the insertion, torque removal was measured from 4 rabbits exterminated via $CO_2$ inhalation. RESULTS. No significant difference was observed between removal torques of the BLT implant and the SLActive implant (P>.05). CONCLUSION. It was found that BLT surface modification exhibited excellent osseointegration. In addition, CGF application did not affect the insertion and removal torque of the implants.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of systemically administered oxytocin (OT) on the implant-bone interface by using histomorphometric analysis and the removal torque test. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 10 adult, New Zealand white, female rabbits were used in this experiment. We placed 2 implants (CSM; CSM Implant, Daegu, South Korea) in each distal femoral metaphysis on both the right and left sides; the implants on both sides were placed 10 mm apart. In each rabbit, 1 implant was prepared for histomorphometric analysis and the other 3 were prepared for the removal torque test (RT). The animals received intramuscular injections of either saline (control group; 0.15 M NaCl) or OT (experimental group; $200{\mu}g/rabbit$). The injections were initiated on Day 3 following the implant surgery and were continued for 4 subsequent weeks; the injections were administered twice per day (at a 12-h interval), for 2 days per week. RESULTS. While no statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups (P=.787), the control group had stronger removal torque values. The serum OT concentration (ELISA value) was higher in the OT-treated group, although no statistically significant difference was found. Further, the histomorphometric parameter (bone-to-implant contact [BIC], inter-thread bone, and peri-implant bone) values were higher in the experimental group, but the differences were not significant. CONCLUSION. We postulate that OT supplementation via intramuscular injection weakly contributes to the bone response at the implant-bone interface in rabbits. Therefore, higher concentrations or more frequent administration of OT may be required for a greater bone response to the implant. Further studies analyzing these aspects are needed.

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 두 가지 다른 임플란트 드릴 조합을 사용하여 열 발생과 드릴링 시간에 따른 성능 효율성을 평가하는 것이다. 재료 및 방법: 본 연구에서는 소갈비뼈를 연구재료로 사용하였다. 표본을 시험하기 위해 소의 뼈에서 근막 및 근육을 제거하고 드릴링 영역 주위에 온도 센서를 장착했고, 드릴링 후 온도 및 시간을 측정하였다. 실험군은 이니셜 드릴 전에 사용하는 드릴에 따라 가이드 드릴 사용 그룹과 린드만 드릴 사용 그룹으로 나누었다. 가이드 드릴 사용 그룹의 드릴 사용 순서는 다음과 같다; guide drill (ø 2.25), initial drill (ø 2.25), twist drill (ø 2.80), 그리고 twist drill (ø 3.20). 린드만 드릴 사용 그룹의 드릴 사용 순서는 다음과 같다; Lindmann drill (ø 2.10), initial drill (ø 2.25), twist drill (ø 2.80), 그리고 twist drill (ø 3.20). 통계적 분석은 Mann-Whitney U test 및 Friedman test를 이용하여 집단간 차이를 분석하였다 (α = .05). 결과: 가이드 드릴 사용 그룹의 각 시편에 대한 평균 성능 효율은 0.3861 - 1.1385 mm³/s 범위를 보였고, 린드만 드릴 사용 그룹의 평균 성능 효율은 0.1700 - 0.4199 mm³/s를 보였다. 가이드 드릴을 사용한 드릴 조합은 드릴링 시간으로 계산했을 때 우수한 성능 효율을 보였다 (P < .001). 결론: 가이드 드릴 사용 그룹이 린드만 드릴 사용 그룹보다 우수한 성능 효율을 보였기 때문에, 1차 드릴링을 수행하는 과정에서 가이드 드릴의 사용이 더욱 적합하였다.
