Purpose: Implant stability at the time of surgery is crucial for the long-term success of dental implants. Primary stability is considered of paramount importance to achieve osseointegration. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the correlation between the insertion torque and primary stability of dental implants using artificial bone blocks with different bone densities and compositions to mimic different circumstances that are encountered in routine daily clinical settings. Methods: In order to validate the objectives, various sized holes were made in bone blocks with different bone densities (#10, #20, #30, #40, and #50) using a surgical drill and insertion torque together with implant stability quotient (ISQ) values that were measured using the Osstell Mentor. The experimental groups under evaluation were subdivided into 5 subgroups according to the circumstances. Results: In group 1, the mean insertion torque and ISQ values increased as the density of the bone blocks increased. For group 2, the mean insertion torque values decreased as the final drill size expanded, but this was not the case for the ISQ values. The mean insertion torque values in group 3 increased with the thickness of the cortical bone, and the same was true for the ISQ values. For group 4, the mean insertion torque values increased as the cancellous bone density increased, but the correlation with the ISQ values was weak. Finally, in group 5, the mean insertion torque decreased as the final drill size increased, but the correlation with the ISQ value was weak. Conclusions: Within the limitations of the study, it was concluded that primary stability does not simply depend on the insertion torque, but also on the bone quality.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to compare stress distributions of implant-supported crown placed in fibula bone model with those in intact mandible model using three-dimensional finite element analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Two three-dimensional finite element models were created to analyze biomechanical behaviors of implant-supported crowns placed in intact mandible and fibula model. The finite element models were generated from patient's computed tomography data. The model for grafted fibula was composed of fibula block, dental implant system, and implant-supported crown. In the mandible model, same components with identical geometries with the fibula model were used except that the mandible replaced the fibula. Vertical and oblique loadings were applied on the crowns. The highest von Mises stresses were investigated and stress distributions of the two models were analyzed. RESULTS. Overall stress distributions in the two models were similar. The highest von Mises stress values were higher in the mandible model than in the fibula model. In the individual prosthodontic components there was no prominent difference between models. The stress concentrations occurred in cortical bones in both models and the effect of bicortical anchorage could be found in the fibula model. CONCLUSION. Using finite element analysis it was shown that the implant-supported crown placed in free fibula graft might function successfully in terms of biomechanical behavior.

Loss of dentition can lead to not only compromised esthetics and functions of the patient, but also alveolar bone resorption. Bone grafting with prosthetic reconstruction of the gingiva can be selected for the treatment, and it provides many benefits as prosthetic gingival reconstruction does not require a complicated surgical process and is available within a short period of time, with stable clinical results. However, conventional porcelain fused to metal prosthesis has certain limits due to its size, and deformation after several firing procedures. In this clinical report, the author would like to introduce a patient with severe alveolar resorption who was treated with gingiva-shaped zirconia/titanium CAD/CAM implant fixed prosthesis for esthetic and functional rehabilitation. Clinical reports Clinical report 1, 2 : A case of loss of anterior dentition with atrophied alveolar bone. Implant retained zirconia bridge applied with Procera implant bridge system to simulate the gingiva. Upper structure was fabricated with zirconia all ceramic crown. Clinical report 3, 4 : A case of atrophied maxillary alveolus was reconstructed with fixed implant prosthesis, a CAD/CAM designed titanium structure covered wi th resin on its surface. Anterior dentition was reconstructed with zirconia crown. Conclusion and clinical uses. All patients were satisfied with the outcome, and maintained good oral hygiene. Zirconia/titanium implant fixed prosthesis fabricated by CAD/CAM system was highly accurate and showed adequate histological response. No critical failure was seen on the implant fixture and abutment overall. Sites of severe alveolar bone loss can be rehabilitated by implant fixed prosthesis with CAD/CAM system. This type of prosthesis can offer artificial gingival structure and can give more satisfying esthetics and functions, and as a result the patients were able to accept the outcome more fondly, which makes us less than hard to think that it can be a more convenient treatment for the practitioners.

A 33-years-old female pateint with cerebral palsy showing spastic quardriplegia and severe mental retardation was scheduled for dental implant restorations. Before implant surgery we had to take implant CT. But, because of her involuntary motion and communication difficulty, sedation was needed in order to take CT. After 8 hour NPO, propofol infusion sedation with TCI (target controlled infusion) system was administered. The propofol blood concentration of the patient was maintained 2-3 ${\mu}$/ml to keep deep sedation to prevent uncontolled movement. During sedation, we monitored ECG, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, capnometry for patient safety. Oxygen was administered via nasal prong for preventing hypoxemia and to keep airway during sedation some bands were applied to lift mandible. Total duration was 20 minutes for taking CT, and she was discharged from hospital after 30 minute rest without complication.

Based on a survey done recently in Japan, 30 percent of the serious accidents occurred in oral implant surgery were concerned with the mandibular canal and 3/4 of them were related to drilling. One of the reasons lies in the lack of the education system. To overcome this problem, a new educational system focusing on drilling the mandibular trabecular bone has been developed mainly for dental college students in the form of an oral implant surgery training simulator that enables student to sense the reaction force during drilling. On the other hand, the conventional system uses polymeric model. Based on these systems, two approaches were proposed; the evaluation by experienced clinicians using the simulator, and experimental works on the polymeric model. Focusing on the combination of the drilling force sensed and drilling speed obtained through both approaches, the results were compared. It was found that the polymeric models were much softer especially near the mandibular canal. In addition, the study gave us an insight of the understanding in bone quality through tactile sensation of the drilling force and speed. Furthermore, the clinicians positively reviewed the simulator as a valid tool.

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.

Statement of Problem. As a standard means of diagnostics, an orthopantomogram(OPT) permits to measure the vertical and mesiodistal dimension of available bone at the desired implant site with the help of suitable radioopaque references. Based on the clinical investigation of the dentition and the edentulous sites, information upon the width of the implant site can be obtained and documented in the dental scheme. Both findings permit together systematic primary planning for endosteal implants. Purpose of Study. Contents of the present article are the representation of a semiquantitative classification of available bone with the aim to simplify the primary phase of a systematic implant planning. Results. Thus the ASCIi- system permits a clear protocol of bone findings for the implant case with all information available during the primary appointment for treatment planning as a basis of further diagnostic and therapeutic measures. Conclusion. With the ASCIi system, important parameters such as alveolar height and sub-crestal alveolar width can be documented systematically, easily and time saving in the dental scheme as a basis for exact treatment planning.
