Implant-supported restorations were connected to commercially pure titanium endosteal implants 3 months in mandible and 6 months in maxilla after the implants were inserted into patient jaws. Modifications of titanium implant surfaces have reduced the waiting time for osseointegration, resulting in the development of the early loading concept, which is defined at present as a restoration in contact with the opposing dentition and placed at least 1 week after implant placement, but no later than 2 months afterward. Nowadays, immediate loading protocols have also been introduced, using the implants that are designed to enhance initial stability. Immediate loading eliminates the edentulous period of a patient. Although dentists widely accept these concepts of early and immediate loading, they agree the conventional loading concept is still necessary, which describes loading protocols later than 2 months after implant insertion. The timing of loading is determined mainly by the factors of a patient. This paper considers for what dental clinicians should be careful in implant-supported restoration procedures, considering the implant late failure.

This investigation evaluated patients who received Steri-Oss implants from the Dental Hospital of Chosun University during the period from March 1989 to August 1997. 346 fixtures of 127 patients were included in this study. The results were as follows ; 1.The follow-up period was defined as the period between the surgical placement of the implants and the last follow-up examination. The mean follow-up period was $2.17{\pm}1.21$ years. 2.The period between fixture installation and second surgery was $0.71{\pm}0.44$ years in the maxilla and $0.46{\pm}0.21$ years in the mandible. 3.The number of fixtures which were installed in the upper jaw(112) was less than that in the lower jaw(234) and in the posterior region(260) was more than in the anterior region(86). 4.The length of fixture which was most frequently used was 12 mm and least was 8mm. Screw implants were installed more than cylindrical implants. 3.8mm implant was the most common implans, followed by 4.5mm and 3.25mm. 5.The number of augmentation cases was more than that of non-augmentation cases and the rate of augmentation cases in the maxilla was more than that in the mandible. 6.Implant restorations for partial edentulos patients(94cases) were more than single- tooth implant restorations(33cases) or implant restorations for complete edentulos patients(10cases). 7.Free-standing prostheses for partially edentulous patients were more commom than any other type of connection between implants and natural teeth. 8.Plaque Index($0.95{\pm}0.74$) and Gingival Index($0.31{\pm}0.52$) were very similar around the natural teeth and reflected an acceptable level of plaque and gingivitis control. Mean value for keratinized mucosa index($1.93{\pm}1.20$) remained fairly constant around level 2(1-2 mm keratinized epithelium). 9.Patients were generally satisfied with implant in terms of comfort, function, speech and esthetics. 10.There was not a statistically significant differences in overall survial rate between implants placed in the maxilla (91.5%) and those placed in the mandible (93.8%). Fourteen implants lost before the prosthetic rehabilitation and eleven implants lost following variable periods in function after the prosthetic phase of the treatment. 11.Cause of implant failures was exfoliation or removal of fixture due to non-osseointegration before the prosthetic rehabilitation or due to fracture of fixture, masticatory pain after the prosthetic rehabilitation. 12.The survival rate of Steri-Oss implants using the Kaplan-Meier statistical analysis was 93.8% at 2 year and 86.6% at 5 year, In all cases, implant losses occured predominantly in the healing period. There was a steep decline in the rate of implant loss after the first year. 13.The survival rate of Steri-Oss implants in the anterior region was 94.8% at 2 year and 94.8% at 5 year and that in the posterior region was 92.8% at 2 year and 75.9% at 5 year. In conclusion, this study revealed a number of parameters and guidelines for achieving an optimal success rate in osseointegration.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM. Many dental clinicians are concerned about immediate loading of inserted implants. However, there have been few clinical studies surveying the success rates of immediate loading, based on Korean implant systems. PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of immediate functional loading of the implant ($SinusQuick^{TM}$EB, Neobiotech Co., Seoul, Korea) in partially edentulous maxilla or mandible. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Total 15 implants were placed. Within 2 weeks after implant insertion, provisional implant-supported fixed partial dentures were delivered to the patients. Quantitatively, marginal bone loss was measured at the time of immediate loading, after 3-months of continued loading and at the last follow-up. The mean follow-up period was 4.8 months. RESULTS. Mean marginal bone loss from implant surgery to early loading, 3-months follow-up and last follow-up was $0.03\pm0.07$ mm, $0.16\pm0.17$ mm and $0.29\pm0.19$ mm. No implant failed up to 6 months after insertion, resulting in a 100% survival rate. CONCLUSION. Immediate loading exhibited high success rate in partial edentulism for up to 6 months. Well-controlled long term clinical studies with large sample size are necessary to confirm this finding.

전통적인 총의치와 비교했을 때 하악 임플란트 피개의치는 2개의 임플란트로도 좋은 지지와 유지를 얻을 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 2개의 임플란트를 이용하여 하악 임플란트 피개의치를 제작할 때는 정확한 위치에 임플란트를 식립하는 것이 중요하다. 2개의 임플란트를 교합평면에 수직 방향으로, 견치 자리에 서로 평행하게 식립해야 피개의치의 장기적인 예후에 좋다. 하지만 무치악 환자에서 2개의 임플란트를 올바른 위치에 식립하는 것은 어려운 일이며, 이 때 서지컬 가이드를 이용한다면 보철적으로 유리한 위치에 임플란트를 식립하는데 도움을 받을 수 있다. 본 증례는 57세 남환으로 치주질환으로 인해 상, 하악의 모든 치아가 발거된 상태로 본원에 내원했다. 이에 상악은 전통적인 총의치, 하악은 2개의 임플란트를 이용한 임플란트 피개의치로 수복하여 기능 및 심미적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻었으므로 이를 보고하고자 한다.

상악 완전 무치악과 하악 양측 후방 무치악 상태의 환자에서 전통적인 의치를 제작하는 방법은 흔히 볼수 있는 치료 방법이다. 그러나 장기적으로 볼 때 이와 같은 구강내 환경에서는 복합증후군(Combination syndrome)이라는 합병증이 발생할 수 있다. 이때 임플란트를 동반한 국소의치(Implant Assisted Removable Partial Denture, IARPD)의 적용으로 치조골 보존과 함께 Combination syndrome의 예방을 도모할 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 무치악 부위에 임플란트의 추가 식립 시 국소의치의 움직임에 의해 최후방 지대치에 가해지는 응력을 줄일 수 있으므로 금속이 아닌 레진 클라스프를 계획하였고 flexible 의치 레진을 사용하였다. 상악 총의치, 하악 flexible IARPD를 계획하여 최소한의 비용과 수술로서 심미적, 기능적인 장기적 예후를 얻어 보고하고자 한다.

부분 무치악 환자의 구강회복을 위해서는 임플란트를 이용한 치료 방법이 널리 활용되고 있다. 임플란트를 이용한 치료방법은 크게 고정성 임플란트 보철물과 가철성 임플란트 보철물로 나뉠 수 있으며, 골 흡수가 심한 환자의 경우 심미적이고 경제적인 이점을 갖는 가철성 임플란트 보철물이 치료 옵션으로 활용될 수 있다. 특히 소수의 임플란트에 Milled-bar와 부가적인 유지장치를 이용한 보철물 제작 시, 임플란트 고정체 간의 연결고정 효과 및 의치의 유지력과 안정성이 증가할 수 있다. 또한 의치상을 통한 구순 지지를 통해 심미적인 보철물 제작이 가능하다. 본 증례의 환자는 상악골의 심한 골 흡수를 동반한 소수의 잔존치를 갖는 부분 무치악 환자로 전치부 및 소구치부위에 임플란트를 3개 식립 후 캐드캠을 이용하여 제작된 Milled-bar와 ADD-TOC 어태치먼트를 이용한 임플란트 부분 피개의치로 치료하였다. 그 결과 어태치먼트를 이용한 clasp 제거 및 의치상을 이용한 구순 지지를 통해 심미성을 높였으며, Milled-bar를 통한 교합력 지지와 의치 안정성을 확보하였다. 또한 환자의 이물감 해소를 위해 구개부 피개량을 줄인 금속 구조물의 피개의치를 제작하였으며, 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this diagnostic study was to assess the accuracy and time efficiency of a digital method to draw the denture foundation extension outline on preliminary casts compared with the conventional technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 28 preliminary edentulous casts with no anatomical landmarks were digitized using a laboratory scanner. The outlining of the entire basal seat of the denture was performed on preliminary casts and digitized. Casts with no extension outline were digitized and outlines were drawn using software (DWOS, Straumann). The accuracy of the extension outlined between both techniques was evaluated in the software (GOM Inspect; GOM GmbH) by file superimposition. Specificity and sensitivity tests were applied to measure accuracy. The paired t-test (95% CI) was used to compare the mean total area and the working time. RESULTS. The accuracy ranged from 0.57 to 0.92. The buccal and labial frenulum showed a lower value in the maxilla (0.57); while the area between the retromolar pad and buccal frenulum (0.64) showed a lower score in the mandible. The maxillary denture foundation and the working time for both arches were significantly longer for the digital method (P < .001). CONCLUSION. The denture foundation extension outline exhibited a sufficiently excellent accuracy for the digital method, except for the maxillary anterior region. However, the digital method required a longer working time.

Purpose: The aim of this retrospective chart review was to evaluate the four-year survival rate of a titanium implant system. Methods: A total of 352 sand-blasted, thermally acid-etched titanium implants were inserted into 181 partially or completely edentulous patients. Their cumulative survival rate was evaluated retrospectively. Associated factors, such as the implant distribution and treatment type were included in the evaluation. Results: The implants were equally distributed between the maxilla (52.3%) and the mandible (47.7%). 48 implants (13.6%) were placed in the anterior region and 304 implants (86.4%) in the posterior region. The majority of the implants were inserted into bone of type II and III quality (89.8%) and volume (quantity B and C, 87.2%). Most of the implants (70.7%) were restored as single crowns; 28.7% supported a bridge construction and 0.6% a full denture. Only one implant failed, resulting in a four-year cumulative survival rate of 99.7%. Conclusions: The implant system showed an excellent four-year survival rate. It proved to be a safe and predictable means for restoration of the dentition in partially or completely edentulous patients.
