The objective of this finite element method study was to analyze the stress distribution induced on a supporting bone by 3.75mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm diameter of dental implant fixture(13mm length). 3-dimensional finite element models of simplified gold alloy crown(7mm height) and dental implant structures(gold cylinder screw, gold cylinder, abutment screw, abutment, fixture and supporting bone(cortical bone, cancellous bone) designs were subjected to a simulated biting force of 100 N which was forced over occlusal plane of gold alloy crown vertically. Maximum von Mises stresses(MPa) under vertical loading were 9.693(3.75mm diameter of fixture), 8.885(4.0mm diameter of fixture), 6.301(5.0mm diameter of fixture) and the highest von Mises stresses of all models were concentrated in the surrounding crestal cortical bone. The wide diameter implant was the good choice for minimizing cortical bone-fixture interface stress.

The interaction and detergency between liquid oily soil and surfactant solution were studied by the mechanism of formation of liquid crestal(LC). Samples used were triolein as a triglyceride, oleic acid as a free fatty acid and sodium dodgily sulfate (SDS) as a surfactant. The results were as follows: In the phase diagram of SDS/oil/Water system, the area of liquid crystalline phase region were in the order of SDS/trillion/water< SDS/oleic acid/water< SDS/mixture of trillion and oleic acid/water. In the system of oleic acid alone or mixture of trillion and oleic acid contacted with SDS solution, the LC phase was formed right after or after some time with SDS concentration. But in a case of trillion alone, the LC phase was not formed although the concentration of the SDS solution was relatively high. The detergency of model oily soils were seldom changed with temperature, and the detergency of oleic acid was very high compared to that of the trillion. The detergency of mixed soil was improved with the increase of the ratio of oleic acid in the mixture.

Purpose: This case report discusses the effect of a root submergence technique on preserving the periodontal tissue at the pontic site of fixed dental prostheses in the maxillary anterior aesthetic zone. Methods: Teeth with less than ideal structural support for fixed retainer abutments were decoronated at the crestal bone level. After soft tissue closure, the final fixed dental prostheses were placed with the pontics over the submerged root area. Radiographic and clinical observations at the pontic sites were documented. Results: The submerged roots at the pontic sites preserved the surrounding periodontium without any periapical pathology. The gingival contour at the pontic site was maintained in harmony with those of the adjacent teeth, as well as the overall form of the arch. Conclusions: The results of this clinical report indicate that a root submergence technique can be successfully applied in pontic site development with fixed dental prostheses, especially in the maxillary anterior esthetic zone.

This case series evaluated the clinical efficacy of autogenous tooth bone graft material (AutoBT) in alveolar ridge preservation of an extraction socket. Thirteen patients who received extraction socket graft using AutoBT followed by delayed implant placements from Nov. 2008 to Aug. 2010 were evaluated. A total of fifteen implants were placed. The primary and secondary stability of the placed implants were an average of 58 ISQ and 77.9 ISQ, respectively. The average amount of crestal bone loss around the implant was 0.05 mm during an average of 22.5 months (from 12 to 34 months) of functional loading. Newly formed tissues were evident from the 3-month specimen. Within the limitations of this case, autogenous tooth bone graft material can be a favorable bone substitute for extraction socket graft due to its good bone remodeling and osteoconductivity.

The external contour of an implant can have significant effects on the load transfer characteristics and may result in different bone failure rates for different implant system. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of crest module shape and occlusal load direction on bone failure modes of five commercially available dental implant systems. Five different implant systems with internal connection; ITI (Model 1), Astra (Model 2), Bicon (Model 3), Friadent (Model 4), and Paragon (Model 5), comparable in size, but different in thread profile and cest module shapes, were compared using the finite element method. Conclusively, in the internal connection system of the implant-abutment connection methods, the stress-induced pattern at the supporting bone according to the abutment connection form had differenence among them, and implants with narrowing crestal module cross-sections at the top of the cortical bone created more favorable load transfer characteristics in this region. But it is considered that the future study is necessary about how this difference in the magnitude of the stress have an effect on the practical clinic.

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is relatively rare, non-neoplastic expansile lesion of bone. The case of a IS-year-old male with a ABC of the left mandibular condyle is presented. Panoramic radiograph showed a unilocular radiolucency with thinned coritces and a subcondylar fracuture which was due to the trauma. Computed tomography (CT) revealed expansile lesion which had similar attenuation soft tissue. The patient was treated surgically including iliac crestal bone graft.

Background: Postoperative infection occurs when bone graft material is dislodged into the maxillary sinus cavity and most of the patients are often uncomfortable with the drainage and irrigation procedures to eradicate the infection. In this case report, we share a technique in treating patients with such condition. Material and methods: A 47-year-old patient was referred after sinus elevation using the crestal socket osteotome, bone graft, and implant insertion at a local clinic. Clinical and radiographic findings confirmed the diagnosis of right maxillary sinusitis. A surgical and medical treatment regimen was applied. Results: By using this technique for irrigation, we were able to achieve successful results, and the patient was satisfied due to less discomfort during the irrigation process. Conclusion: This method is a patient-friendly technique for sinus irrigation. It is not only limited to sinus grafted patients, but also maxillary sinusitis patients in any other type of odontogenic infection.

Iatrogenic perforations negatively impact the outcome of endodontic treatments. Studies on prognostic factors showed that perforations in the coronal third of the root with periodontal pocket formation have an unfavorable prognosis. A 36-year-old female was referred for endodontic evaluation of tooth #13 with a history of an iatrogenic perforation, happened 3 years ago. There was a sinus tract associated with perforation, 10 mm probing on the mesial and mesio-palatal, bleeding on probing, radiolucent lesion adjacent to the perforation and complete resorption of the interdental bone between teeth #13 and #12. After the treatment options were discussed, she chose to save the tooth. The tooth was accessed under rubber dam isolation, the perforation site was cleaned and disinfected using 0.5% sodium hypochlorite and sealed with calcium-enriched mixture cement. Eighteen months after treatment the tooth was functional and asymptomatic. The probing depths were normal without bleeding on probing. Radiographically, the interdental crestal bone formed between teeth #13 and #12. Despite all negative prognostic factors in this case (i.e., perforations in the coronal third, pocket formation, and radiolucent lesion), healing was unexpectedly achieved via non-surgical repair of the perforation. Further research on biological aspects of healing in the periodontium following iatrogenic perforations are recommended.

Purpose. This multicenter retrospective study was performed to evaluate the survival and success rates of immediate placement of USII and SSII Osstem implant (Osstem implant Co, Korea) on the maxillary and mandibular anterior and premolar areas. Materials and methods. Dental records were obtained in 37 patients who were treated with immediate implantation on the maxillary and mandibular anterior and premolar areas in 6 different clinics. The 98 implants were evaluated both clinically and radiographically using predefined success criteria. Results. There was no failed implant in all patients. The mean follow up period was 24.7 months (ranged from 12 to 58 months), and 25.1 months (ranged from 16 to 35 months) in USII and SSII implants, respectively. The crestal bone loss was 3 mm in 3 USII implants during 41 months, and in 1 SSII implant during 22 months. The overall success rate was 94.2% and 97.7% in USII and SSII implants, respectively. The age, gender, diameter, or length of implants, and type of surgery were not influenced to the success rate of immediate implantation. Conclusion. These results suggest that USII and SSII Osstem implant can be used successfully in immediate implantation on the maxillary and mandibular anterior and premolar areas.
