Objectives: This study evaluated implant success rate, survival rate, marginal bone resorption of implants, and material resorption of sinus bone graft in cases wherein tapered body implants were installed. Materials and Methods: From September 2003 to January 2006, 20 patients from Seoul National University Bundong Hospital, with a mean age of 54.7 years, were considered. The mean follow-up period was 19 months. This study covered 50 implants; 14 implants were placed in the maxillary premolar area, and 36 in the maxillary molar area; 24 sinuses were included. Results: The success rate was 92%, and the survival rate was 96.0%. The mean amount of sinus augmentation was $12.35{\pm}3.27$ mm. The bone graft resorption rate one year after surgery was $0.97{\pm}0.84$ mm; that for the immediate implantation group was $0.91{\pm}0.86$ mm, and that for the delayed implantation group was $1.16{\pm}0.77$ mm. However, the difference was not statistically significant. The mean marginal bone resorption one year after restoration was $0.17{\pm}0.27$ mm (immediate group: $0.12{\pm}0.23$ mm; delayed group $0.40{\pm}0.33$ mm); statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups. Conclusion: Tapered body implant can be available in the maxillary posterior edentulous ridge which sinus bone graft is necessary.

Objectives. The standardization of connection between fixture and abutment has not been defined. The success of dental implants was not always depends on connection. However, the connection mechanism is one of the most important things for dental implant treatment success. Most implant systems are very comparable in their design and engineering. They share many common characteristics and have similar strengths and weaknesses. Their significant weaknesses are connection, microgap and the resulting micromovement allowing bacterial contamination and bone loss. In the present study, we investigated the clinical performance of Ankylos implant (conical connection implant) Patients and Methods. The clinical performance of conical connection implant was studied under well-controlled clinical conditions. A total of 133 conical connection implants were placed in 50 patients from April 2005 to March 2006. The mean follow-up loading period of implants which was considered successful was 220$\pm$29 days. We recorded the age, sex, installation site, reason of edentulous region, bone density of installation site, diameter and length of dental implants and periods from installation to uncovering surgery using patients medical chart. Results Four Ankylos implants were lost during pre-loading period. 129 implants provided excellent clinical performance during 220$\pm$29 days on an average. The short-term success rate of this conical connection implant system was 96.99%.

PURPOSE. This retrospective study evaluated the outcome of implant-retained overdentures (IODs) after 5-19 years of clinical function. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A retrospective analysis of patient files was performed referring to 27 patients who received 36 IODs with 3 different bar designs (group A=prefabricated round bars, n=7; group B=one-piece anterior milled bars, n=20; and group C=two bilaterally placed milled bars, n=9) in the mandible (n=24) and/or in the maxilla (n=12). The analysis focused on the survival and success rates (according to Kaplan-Meier) of the implants and prostheses. Technical complication rates for each type of restoration were analyzed and compared via one-way ANOVA and the Chi-squared test. The prevalence of peri-implantitis (radiographic bone loss ${\geq}3.5mm$) was evaluated by digital analysis of panoramic radiographs taken postoperative (baseline) and after 5-19 years of clinical function (follow-up). RESULTS. The mean observational time was 7.3 years. The survival rates of the prostheses and implants were 100% and 97.7%, respectively. Technical complications occurred more frequently in group A (mean: 3.5 during observational time) than in the other two groups (B: 0.8; C: 1.0). However, this difference was not statistically significant (P=0.58). Peri-implantitis was diagnosed for 12.4% of the implants in 37% of the patients. CONCLUSION. Bar-retained IODs are an adequate treatment option for edentulous jaws. These restorations may exhibit high implant/prosthesis survival rates (>97%), and a limited incidence of technical complications after a mean observational period of >7 years. Nevertheless, peri-implantitis was identified as a frequent and serious biological complication for this type of reconstruction.

CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) 기술을 이용한 인레이 및 여러 고정성 보철물의 제작이 보편화되고 구강내 스캐너가 널리 보급되면서 디지털 치의학의 개념이 치과 보철학 분야 전반에 적용되고 있다. 그러나 가철성 보철 부분에서는 디지털 개념의 적용이 쉽지 않으며 기존의 주조 방식에 많이 의존하고 있다. 따라서 가철성 보철물의 제작 과정에 이런 개념을 적용해보려는 시도는 중요한 의미가 있다. 본 증례에서는 하악 Kennedy class III 무치악 환자에서 보철적, 심미적 요구에 의한 교합고경의 증가와 함께 CAD 및 쾌속조형술(RP, rapid prototyping)을 이용한 가철성 국소의치를 제작하였다. CAD를 이용하여 서베잉 및 국소의치 금속 구조물을 설계하였으며, 쾌속조형술은 금속 구조물을 주조하기 위한 레진 패턴 제작에 이용하였다. 9개월 간의 임상적 관찰 기간 동안 만족스러운 심미적, 기능적 결과를 얻어 이를 보고하고자 한다.

Objective: The sinus floor elevation procedures have been used to facilitate implant placement in the severely atrophic posterior maxilla. Many variables may have an influence on the outcomes of the sinus floor elevation in combination with implant treatment. The aim of this study was to analyze survival rate of implants placed in the edentulous maxillae of patients in whom sinus floor elevation was undertaken according to variables. Materials and Methods: It consisted of 96 patients(50 male and 46 female), ranging in age from 31 to 70 years(mean 49 years), who underwent sinus floor elevation procedure(94 implants in left side and 106 implants in right side) from 2001 to 2002. A total of 200 implants were placed in the grafted sinus(73 implants in lateral approach and 127 implants in crestal approach). All implants were restored by fixed prosthesis. All patients were healthy. Follow-up periods for implants were between 48 to 60 months. Results: The cumulative survival rate of implants was 91.5%. Gender, age and operation site did not have an influence on the survival rate. There was statistically significant differences for the implants which placed in less than 4 or 5 rom residual bone height, the survival rate was 60%, 81.4% respectively (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference of implants survival rate ac- cording to approach technique. The survival rate for 100% autogenous bone grafts was lower with respect to composite grafts containing autogenous bone and 100% substitutes. The survival rate for hydroxyapatite-coated implants was statistically significant lower than other textured group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Residual bone height, surface texture and graft materials have an influence on the survival rate. To use autogenous bone as a part of a composite bone replacement, implant texture which leads to more favorable implant-bone interface were necessary. To determine residual bone height for initial implant stability was important.

치아가 얼마 남지 않은 부분 무치악 환자들에 있어 이중관(Double crown)을 이용한 치료의 성공적인 결과에 대해서 여러 문헌에서 보고 되고 있다. 이중관 가철성국소의치(Double crown removal partial denture)는 잔존치의 치주적인 상태가 좋지 않은 환자에게 치료의 대안이 될 수 있다. 이중관 가철성 국소의치는 특히 치주상태가 좋지 않고, 임플란트를 식립하기에는 의과적으로 문제가 있는 환자(Medically compromised patient)에게는 수술에 대한 부담 없이 치료할 수 있어 심리적이고 경제적인 이점이 존재한다. 본 증례에서는 상악은 다수의 치아가 잔존하여 고정성 보철물로 수복이 가능한 상태였고, 하악은 소수 잔존치만 남아있고 치주 상태가 매우 불량하여 잔존치를 이용한 클라스프 가철성 국소의치로는 수복하는 것이 거의 불가능하였다. 또한 환자는 1년 전에 하악 전치부 부위의 골수염으로 인한 수술병력으로 임플란트 식립이 어려운 상황이었다. 이러한 악조건에서 하악의 소수 잔존치를 이용한 이중관 의치는 2년이상의 기간동안 기능적, 심미적인 면에서 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

Background: The goal of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the prognosis of minimal invasive horizontal ridge augmentation (MIHRA) technique using small incision and subperiosteal tunneling technique. Methods: This study targeted 25 partially edentulous patients (10 males and 15 females, mean age $48.8{\pm19.7years$) who needed bone graft for installation of the implants due to alveolar bone deficiency. The patients took the radiographic exam, panoramic and periapical view at first visit, and had implant fixture installation surgery. All patients received immediate or delayed implant surgery with bone graft using U-shaped incision and tunneling technique. After an average of 2.8 months, the prosthesis was connected and functioned. The clinical prognosis was recorded by observation of the peri-implant tissue at every visit. A year after restoration, the crestal bone loss around the implant was measured by taking the follow-up radiographs. One patient took 3D-CT before bone graft, after bone graft, and 2 years after restoration to compare and analyze change of alveolar bone width. Results: This study included 25 patients and 39 implants. Thirty eight implants (97.4 %) survived. As for postoperative complications, five patients showed minor infection symptoms, like swelling and tenderness after bone graft. The other one had buccal fenestration, and secondary bone graft was done by the same technique. No complications related with bone graft were found except in these patients. The mean crestal bone loss around the implants was 0.03 mm 1 year after restoration, and this was an adequate clinical prognosis. A patient took 3D-CT after bone graft, and the width of alveolar bone increased 4.32 mm added to 4.6 mm of former alveolar bone width. Two years after bone graft, the width of alveolar bone was 8.13 mm, and this suggested that the resorption rate of bone graft material was 18.29 % during 2 years. Conclusions: The bone graft material retained within a pouch formed using U-shaped incision and tunneling technique resulted with a few complications, and the prognosis of the implants placed above the alveolar bone was adequate.

골유착성 임플란트가 소개된 이후로 부분 및 무치악 부위에서 사용되어 높은 성공률과 함께 예지성 있는 결과를 보여주는 치료방법으로 인정받고 있다. 그러나 국내에서 개발된 임플란트에 대해서는 임상적이고 객관적인 연구 자료가 불충분하다. 본 연구에서는 31명의 환자에게서 임플란트 경부에 미세나사를 지닌 임플란트 식립 후 평균 21개월의 기간 동안 임플란트의 생존율에 관한 조사를 시행하였고 부하가 가해지는 시점을 기준으로 12개월 간 변연골의 변화를 파노라마사진을 이용하여 측정 관찰하여 다음의 결과를 도출하였다. 총 96개의 임플란트에서 3개의 임플란트가 실패하여 96.9%의 생존율을 보였다. 50대 환자에서 85.7%로 가장 작은 생존율을 보였으며 성별 및 연령에 따른 생존율 및 변연골 흡수량에 대한 통계적 유의성은 존재하지 않았다. 상악에서는 95.7% 하악에서는 100%의 생존율을 보였다. 골이식 여부, 보철물의 종류, 매식체의 길이 및 직경에 따른 생존율의 차이는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 기능 부하 후 임플란트 변연골 흡수량은 단일 금관 보철물이 연결 고정 보철물에 비해 증가된 양상을 보였으나 임플란트의 직경, 길이, 골이식의 유무, 식립위치에 의해서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이 연구를 통해 경부에 미세나사를 지닌 임플란트 식립 후에 임플란트 변연골 흡수량은 비교적 적게 일어났으며 또한 안정적으로 유지되는 것이 관찰될 수 있었고 이에 따른 장기적인 추적관찰이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

The edentulous posterior maxilla generally provides a limited amount of bone height because of atrophy of the ridge and pneumatization of the maxillary sinus, Maxillary sinus augmentation is one of the surgical techniques for reconstruction of the severely resorbed posterior maxilla. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survival rate of implants and the long-term changes of graft height after maxillary sinus augmentation by lateral window approach. From September 1996 to July 2004, maxillary sinus augmentation with mixed grafts of autograft, allograft, xenograft and alloplast were performed on 45 patients and 100 implants were placed. We evaluated the survival rate of implants and the changes of BL(bone length)/IL(implant length) according to time using panoramic radiographs. The survival rate of implants was 91.0% for follow-up period. The mean reduction of graft heights was 0.34mm(3.0%) for 6 months and 1.22mm(1O.66%) for 3 years after augmentation. The total mean BL/IL was $1.34{\pm}0.21$ during 5 year observation period after augmentation and decreased slightly over time. The result means that graft materials were stable above the implant apex. BL/ILs of 1stage procedure were significantly decreased at 1-2 year, 3-4 year after augmentation and no statistically significant changes were observed in those of 2 stage procedure. The graft materials of both procedures were stable above the implant apex. No statistically significant changes of BL/IL were observed in the grafts combined with low amount of autogenous bone or without autogenous bone. The graft materials of both groups were stable above the implant apex. The results indicated that the placement of dental implants with maxillary sinus augmentation showed predictable clinical results and the grafts combined with low amount of autogenous bone or without autogenous bone had long-term resistance to resorption in maxillary sinus.
