Statement of problem. Conventional denture treatment for totally edentulous patients is associated with a variety of functional and psychosocial problems. The placement of implants in the anterior region of the maxilla and mandible and the fabrication of an implant-retained overdenture might solve these problems. Purpose. This study compared the marginal bone loss around the implant and evaluated the implant survival rate and complications in patients treated with overdentures retained by implants for 2 years. Material and methods. Patients who had received implant-retained overdentures using a Dolder bar at Samsung Medical Center from January 1999 to June 2005 and had participated in the annual recall programs for two years were selected for this study. A total of 18 patients and 56 $Br{\aa}ne-mark\;system^{(R)}$ implants were used, and their data were reviewed. Evaluations of the survival rate, bone quality, marginal bone loss, and complications were performed. The data on the Dolder bar length and clip length were measured. The change in marginal bone loss and the correlation between the marginal bone loss and bar length, clip length, or bone quality were investigated. Results. Implants placed in this study showed a 100% survival rate. The average annual bone loss was 1.12mm in the first year and 0.27mm in the second year in the maxilla, and 0.58mm in the first year and 0.22mm in the second year in the mandible. The marginal bone loss in the maxilla showed no significant association with those in the mandible. (P>.05). There was no significant difference in marginal bone loss around implants between the first and second year. (P>.05) There was no statistically significant relationship (P>.05) between the marginal bone loss and bone quality, clip length, or Dolder bar length. The Dolder bar length showed a high correlation with the clip length. (P<.05) Various complications were noted. Conclusion. These results confirmed the favorable outcome for patients treated with implant-retained overdentures.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate five-year radiographic follow-up results of the Korean sandblasting with large grit, and acid etching (SLA)-treated implant system. Materials and Methods: The subjects of the study are 54 patients who have been followed-up to date, of the patients who underwent implant surgery from May 1, 2009 to April 30, 2011. In all, 176 implant placements were performed. Radiographs were taken before the first surgery, immediately after the first and second surgeries, immediately and six months after the final prosthesis installation, and every year after that. Bone loss was evaluated by the method suggested by Romanos and Nentwig. Results: A total of 176 implant placements were performed - 122 in men and 54 in women. These patients have been followed-up for an average of 4.9 years. In terms of prosthetic appliances, there were 156 bridges and 20 single prostheses. Nine implants installed in the maxillary molar area, three in the mandibular molar area and two in the maxillary premolar area were included in group M, with bone loss less than 2 mm at the crestal aspect of the implant. Of these, eight implants were single prostheses. In all, six implants failed - four in the mandible and two in the maxilla. All of these failures occurred in single-implant cases. The implant survival rate was 98.1% on the maxilla and 94.3% on the mandible, with an overall survival of 96.6%. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, implants with the SLA surface have a very superior survival rate in relatively poor bone environments such as the maxilla.

PURPOSE. This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of the implant-abutment connection design and diameter on the screw joint stability. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Regular and wide-diameter implant systems with three different joint connection designs: an external butt joint, a one-stage internal cone, and a two-stage internal cone were divided into seven groups (n=5, in each group). The initial removal torque values of the abutment screw were measured with a digital torque gauge. The postload removal torque values were measured after 100,000 cycles of a 150 N and a 10 Hz cyclic load had been applied. Subsequently, the rates of the initial and postload removal torque losses were calculated to evaluate the effect of the joint connection design and diameter on the screw joint stability. Each group was compared using Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test as post-hoc test (${\alpha}$=0.05). RESULTS. The postload removal torque value was high in the following order with regard to magnitude: two-stage internal cone, one-stage internal cone, and external butt joint systems. In the regular-diameter group, the external butt joint and one-stage internal cone systems showed lower postload removal torque loss rates than the two-stage internal cone system. In the wide-diameter group, the external butt joint system showed a lower loss rate than the one-stage internal cone and two-stage internal cone systems. In the two-stage internal cone system, the wide-diameter group showed a significantly lower loss rate than the regular-diameter group (P<.05). CONCLUSION. The results of this study showed that the external butt joint was more advantageous than the internal cone in terms of the postload removal torque loss. For the difference in the implant diameter, a wide diameter was more advantageous in terms of the torque loss rate.

연구 목적: 본 연구의 목적은 치과용 임플란트 나사산 디자인이 변연골 응력에 미치는 영향에 정량적인 분석을 하고자 한다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 외경 4.1 mm (경부직경 3.5 mm), 매식부 길이 10 m인 표준형 ITI 임플란트 시스템(ITI Dental Implant System; Straumann AG, Waldenburg, Switzerland)을 기본모델(대조모델)로 채택하고, 그 몸체의 나사산은 다른 임플란트 시스템에 채택되고 있는 삼각형, 사각형, buttres형 디자인을 가지는 가상의 해석모델을 4종 만들었다. 해석모델은 나사산 형태와 크기에 따라 (1) 모델 A (작은 삼각형 나사산), (2) 모델 B (큰 삼각형 나사산), (3) 모델 C (buttres형 나사산), 및 (4) 모델 D (사각형 나사산)로 구분하였다. 유한요소 모델링과 해석에는 NISA II/DISPLAY III (Engineering Mechanics Research Corporation, Troy, MI, USA) 프로그램을 사용하였다. Mesh 구성에는 NKTP type 34형 solid 요소(4각형 축대칭 요소, 요소당 절점수 8개)를 사용하여 임플란트 장축과 평행한 축대칭 하중은 물론 장축과 경사각을 갖는 비축대칭 하중조건을 모두 해석할 수 있도록 하였다. 임플란트의 표면으로부터 각각 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 mm 떨어진 위치에 5개의 응력관찰점(stress monitoring point)을 설정 하여 기록된 응력 값으로부터 회귀분석을 통하여 변연골 응력 최대값(peak stress)을 정량화하였다. 해석에 사용한 하중 조건은 2가지로, 임플란트 축에 평행한 수직하중 100 N과 임플란트 축과 $30^{\circ}$를 이루는 경사력 100 N 조건이었다. 결과: 임플란트 경부와 접하고 있는 인접 변연골에 응력집중현상이 보이고 있었으며, 그 양상은 임플란트 나사산 디자인과 무관하게 거의 유사하게 관찰되었다. 수직력 100 N 조건에서 산출된 변연골 최대응력값은 대조모델과 실험모델 A, B, C, D에서 7.84, 6.45, 5.96, 6.85, 5.39 MPa이었고, 경사력 조건에서는 각각 29.18, 26.45, 25.12, 27.37, 23.58 MPa이었다. 결론: 임플란트 나사산의 디자인은 변연골의 응력에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소이다.

무치악은 총의치나 임플란트 보철물로 수복이 가능하며 임플란트를 이용한 피개의치는 총의치보다 유지와 안정이 우수하고, 임플란트 고정성 보철물에 비해 저렴하고 심미적이다. CM $LOC^{(R)}$ $Pekkton^{(R)}$ 어태치먼트는 여자부가 poly-ether-ketone-ketone으로 마모저항성이 뛰어나다. 한편, SR Ivocap system은 가압주사성형법으로 의치의 수직고경 변화가 적고 강도가 우수하다. 본 증례에서 상악은 4개의 임플란트 식립 후 CM $LOC^{(R)}$ $Pekkton^{(R)}$ 어태치먼트와 SR Ivocap system을 이용한 임플란트 유지 피개의치를, 하악은 가철성 국소의치를 제작하였고 심미적 및 기능적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

부분 혹은 완전 무치악 환자에서 임플란트 치료가 보편화됨에 따라, 복합적인 전신질환이 있는 고령 환자들도 전통적인 총의치보다 임플란트-지지-고정성 보철물이나, 임플란트-유지-가철성 보철물을 선호하는 경향이 높아지고 있다. 본 증례의 환자는 77세 여성 환자로, 내원 당시 만성 고혈압으로 아스피린을 포함한 혈압약과 bisphosphonate 계열의 골다공증 약을 장기 복용 중이었으며, 상 하악 치조골 흡수량이 상당하였고 비대칭이 심하였다. 또한 2년 전 뇌졸중 진단을 받은 후, 우측 상반신마비로 인하여 좌측의 편측 저작만 가능하며, 팔 또한 좌측만 사용할 수 있는 상태(hemi-syndrome)이다. 초진 시 하악 총의치의 재제작만을 원하였으나, 상악 역시 잔존 치아들의 상태가 불량하여 치근을 이용할 수 있는 2개 치아를 제외한 나머지 치아들을 발거 후 치근에 의해 유지되는 피개의치를 계획하였으며, 하악에는 임플란트를 식립 후 그에 유지되는 피개의치를 계획하였다. 유지장치로는, 한 손으로도 쉽게 의치의 착탈이 가능한 자석을 선택하였다. 복용 중인 약의 전략적 중단을 통해 상악의 발치와 하악의 임플란트 식립을 시행하였고, 3개월 후 평가에서 임플란트가 주위 변연골 소실 없이 잘 유지되고 있어 자석을 이용한 피개의치를 제작, 장착하였다. 5개월 정기 검진까지 시행한 결과, 주목할 만한 합병증 없이 저작 기능 및 발음, 심미면에서 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of autogenous bone and allograft material coverd with a bioresorbable membrane on bone regeneration after a simultaneous installation of implant. Materials and methods: Twelve healthy rabbits, weighing about $3{\sim}4$ kg, were used in this experiment. Following impalnt(with 3.25 mm diameter and 8 mm length) site preparation by surgical protocol of $Oraltronics^{(R)}$, artificial bony defect, 5mm sized in height and depth, was created on femoral condyle using trephine drill(with 5 mm diameter and 5 mm length). Then implant was inserted. In the experimental group A, the bony defect was filled with autogenous particulated bone and coverd with $Lyoplant^{(R)}$ resorbable membrane. In the experimental group B, the bony defect was filled with allograft material(Orthoblast $II^{(R)}$) containing demineralized bone matrix and covered with $Lyoplant^{(R)}$. In the control group, without any graft materials, the bony defect was covered with $Lyoplant^{(R)}$. The experimental group A and B were divided into each 9 cases and control group into 3 cases. The experimental animals were sacrificed at 3, 6 and 8 weeks after surgery and block specimens were obtained. With histologic and histomorphometric analysis, we observed the histologic changes of the cells and bone formation after H-E staining and then, measured BIC and bone density with KAPPA Image $Base^{(R)}$ system. Results: As a result of this experiment, bone formation and active remodeling process were examined in all experimental groups and the control. But, the ability of bone formation of the experimental group A was somewhat better than any other groups. Especially bone to-implant contact fraction ranged from 12.7% to 43.45% in the autogenous bone group and from 9.02% to 29.83% in DBM group, at 3 and 8 weeks. But, bone density ranged from 15.67% to 23.17% in the autogenous bone group and from 25.95% to 46.06% in DBM group at 3 and 6 weeks, respectively. Although the bone density of DBM group was better than that of autogenous bone group at 3 and 6weeks, the latter was better than the former at 8 weeks, 54.3% and 45.1%, respectively. Therefore these results showed that DBM enhanced the density of newly formed bone at least initially.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the fixture abutment connection type and diameter on the screw joint stability in external butt joint for 2nd surgery and internal cone connected type implant system for 1st and 2nd surgery using ultimate fracture strength. Materials and Methods: USII system, SSII system and GSII system of Osstem Implant were used. Each system used the fixture with two different diameters and cement-retained abutments, and tungsten carbide / carbon coated abutment screws were used. Disc shaped stainless steel metal tube was attached using resin-based temporary cement. The experimental group was divided into seven subgroups, including the platform switching shaped specimen that uses a regular abutment in the fixture with a wide diameter in USII system. A static load was increased to the metal tube at 5mm deviated point from the implant central axis until it reached the compression bending strength at a rate of 1mm/min. Then the deformations and patterns of fracture in threaded connection were compared. Results and Conclusion: 1. In the comparison between the Regular diameter, compression bending strength of SSII system was higher than USII system and GSII system. There was no significant difference between USII system and GSII system. 2. In the comparison between wide diameter, compression bending strength was increased in the order of GSII system, USII system, and SSII system. 3. In comparison between the implant diameter, compression bending strength of the wide diameter was greater than the regular diameter in any system(P<0.05). 4. There was no significant difference between the platform switching (III group) and the regular diameter (I group) in USII system. 5. In USII system, fracture of abutment screw and deformation of both fixture and abutment were observed in I, II and III subgroups. 6. Failure pattern of SSII system, which was the fracture of abutment screw and deformation of the abutment and fixture, was observed in both IV and V subgroups. Fracture of some fixtures was observed in subgroup V. 7. Failure pattern of GSII system, which was the fracture of the abutment screw and deformation of the fixture and the abutment, was observed in both VI and VII subgroups. Apart from other subgroups, subgroup VII demonstrated no bending neither the fracture at the top of the fixture. The compressive deformation of internal slope in the fixture was the only thing observed in subgroup VII.
