Recently, immediately after losing teeth. implant placement has been greatly attempted. Implant can help restoration of tooth functions within short time. This study was an attempt to examine the extent of osseointergation when the implants will be placed immediately after teeth extraction using domestic implant systems. Implants were inserted in beagle dogs and evaluated the clinical, radiological, histological and histomorphometric assay at 6 weeks and 12 weeks. For experimental materals, $STAGE-1^{(R)}$($4.1{\times}8mm$, Lifecore, USA), $SS-III^{(R)}$($4.0{\times}8mm$, OSSTEM, Korea) and $IFI^{(R)}$($4.0{\times}8mm$, Dio, Korea) implants treated with RBM were placed. All the placed site showed normal results without fail and inflammation clinically and radiologically. As a result of measurement by periotest, it showed $-2\;{\sim}\;-5$ and stable status comprehensively. There was no statistically significant difference among implants(p<0.05). Bone tissue adjacent to implant showed increased marrow tissue at 6 weeks. Nevertheless, osteogenic structure was not observed remarkably. In a 12 weeks opinion, bone tissue composed of osseointegration along implant interface showed significantly decreased marrow tissue containing central vessels unlike a 6 weeks opinion and matured compact bone whose osteogenic structure is well formed. BIC were 42.4%, 32.0% and 34.9%, respectively in 6 weeks and there was no statistically significant difference among group(p<0.05). In 12 weeks, BIC were 58.8%, 61.9% and 57.5%. respectively and there was no statistically significant difference among groups(p<0.05). It is considered that all 3 implant systems are suitable for immediate implant placement.

임플란트 주위조직과 치아 주위조직은 조직학, 형태학적으로 유사한 면이 있다. 특히 functional ankylosis라 불리는 티타늄과 연조직의 직접적인 상피부착은 치아주위 조직의 접합상피처럼 염증세포의 치근단으로의 이행 및 그로 인한 골흡수를 막는 역할을 한다. 그러나 반복적인 지대주의 착탈은 임플란트 주위 연조직의 mucosal barrier를 파괴하여 골흡수를 야기할 수 있다. 만일 지대주의 반복적인 착탈 없이 수술 시에 보철 지대주를 채결한다면 골흡수의 양을 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 이는 기존의 수술방법으로는 한계가 있었으나 Cone Beam Computed Tomography(CBCT)를 이용한 guided surgery를 이용함으로써 임플란트 식립의 3차원적 정확성의 비약적인 향상으로 이런 술식이 가능하게 되었다. 본 증례는 정밀한 CBCT를 통한 분석 후 지르코니아 맞춤 지대주를 미리 제작하고 수술 시에 즉시 지대주와 임시보철물을 연결한 경우로 임상적으로 만족할만한 결과를 얻어 이를 보고하는 바이다.

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.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of overlaying titanium mesh (TM) with an adjunctive collagen membrane (CM) for preserving the buccal bone when used in association with immediate implant placement in dogs. Methods: Immediate implant placements were performed in the mesial sockets of the third premolars of five dogs. At one site the TM was attached to the fixture with the aid of its own stabilizers and then covered by a CM (CM group), while the contralateral site received only TM (TM group). Biopsy specimens were retrieved for histologic and histomorphometric analyses after 16 weeks. Results: All samples exhibited pronounced buccal bone resorption, and a high rate of TM exposure was noted (in three and four cases of the five samples in each of the TM and CM groups, respectively). A dense fibrous tissue with little vascularity or cellularity had infiltrated through the pores of the TM irrespective of the presence of a CM. The distances between the fixture platform and the first bone-implant contact and the bone crest did not differ significantly between the TM and CM groups. Conclusions: Our study suggests that the additional use of a CM over TM does not offer added benefit for mucosal healing and buccal bone preservation.

Background Direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction after nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) with the use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) provides reliable outcomes; however, the use of ADM is associated with a higher risk of complications. We analyzed our experiences of post-NSM DTI without ADM and identified the predictive factors of adverse surgical outcomes. Methods Patients who underwent NSM and immediate DTI or two-stage tissue expander (TE) breast reconstruction from 2009 to 2020 were enrolled. Predictors of adverse endpoints were analyzed. Results There were 100 DTI and 29 TE reconstructions. The TE group had a higher rate of postmastectomy radiotherapy (31% vs. 11%; P=0.009), larger specimens (317.37±176.42 g vs. 272.08±126.33 g; P=0.047), larger implants (360.84±85.19 g vs. 298.83±81.13 g; P=0.004) and a higher implant/TE exposure ratio (10.3% vs. 1%; P=0.035). In DTI reconstruction, age over 50 years (odds ratio [OR], 5.43; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.50-19.74; P=0.010) and a larger mastectomy weight (OR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.08-2.51; P=0.021) were associated with a higher risk of acute complications. Intraoperative radiotherapy for the nipple-areolar complex increased the risk of acute complications (OR, 4.05; 95% CI, 1.07-15.27; P=0.039) and the likelihood of revision surgery (OR, 5.57; 95% CI, 1.25-24.93; P=0.025). Conclusions Immediate DTI breast reconstruction following NSM is feasible in Asian patients with smaller breasts.

Purpose: Mastectomy is performed as a surgical treatment for patients with breast cancer who have the BRCA 1/2 mutation. In this study, we have reported the trends in Korea for both immediate breast reconstruction and prophylactic mastectomy. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted from 2019 to 2021. Both skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate implant-based breast reconstruction with prepectoral and/or subpectoral techniques were performed in five patients with BRCA 1/2 mutations. Data on age; body mass index; cancer stage; BRCA 1/2 mutation; estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 expression; diagnosis; and complications were collected. Results: The average (±standard deviation [SD]) age was 44.0±6.48 years old; BMI 24.5±2.25 kg/m²; and breast volumes were 365.8±70.34 and 382.4±96.33 cc for right and left ones, respectively. The BRCA 1 and 2 were diagnosed in four and one patients, respectively. The estrogen and progesterone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 were detected in one (20%), one (20%), and three (60%) patients, respectively. The applied implant-based breast reconstruction techniques for ten breasts were subpectoral technique (n=7, 70%) and prepectoral technique (n=3, 30%). For the cancer stage, those with I, II, and III stages were one (20%), two (40%), and one (20%), respectively. There were no major complications such as Infection, seroma. Conclusion: When mastectomy is performed as surgical treatment in BRCA 1/2 mutation positive breast cancer patients, it is possible to obtain a better outcome with both implant-based breast reconstruction and different circumstances between breast cancer and contralateral breast.

Background Postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) is allegedly associated with a higher risk of complications of combined nipple-sparing or skin-sparing mastectomy and subpectoral direct-to-implant immediate breast reconstruction ([N]SSM/SDTI-IBR). For this reason, this combination is usually advised against or, even, refused in women who need to undergo PMRT. Because this advice has never been justified, we assessed the short-term complications that may potentially be associated with PMRT after [N]SSM/SDTI-IBR. Methods We compared the complications requiring reintervention and implant loss occurring after 273 [N]SSM/SDTI-IBR that were exposed to PMRT within the first 16 postoperative weeks (interventional group) to those occurring in 739 similarly operated breasts that were not (control group). Additionally, we compared the fraction of complications requiring reintervention occurring after the onset of radiotherapy in the interventional group to that occurring after a comparable postoperative period in the control group. Results The fraction of breasts requiring unscheduled surgical reinterventions for complications and the loss of implants did not differ significantly between both groups but significantly more reinterventions were needed among the controls (p = 0.00). The fraction of events after the onset of radiotherapy in the interventional group was higher than the fraction of events after 6.2 weeks in the control group, but not significantly so. Conclusion We found no prove for the alleged increase of short-term complications of adjuvant radiotherapy. Therefore, we advise that these should not be considered valid arguments to advice against [N]SSM/SDTI-IBR.

Purpose: Osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE) is an often-used technique of great utility in certain implant patients with resorbed posterior maxilla. Recently benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) has been reported as an early postoperative complication following OSFE. Although OSFE-induced BPPV commonly resolves itself within a month without treatment, this complication can be a cause of trouble between the implant surgeon and patient. This report presents a case of BPPV following OSFE. Methods: A 27-year-old man without any significant medical problems and missing his maxillary right first molar, was scheduled for OSFE and simultaneous implant placement. Results: The patient suffered dizziness accompanied by nausea immediately after implant placement using OSFE. Following referral to the ear nose throat clinic, "right posterior canal BPPV" was diagnosed. Despite anti vertigo medication and a single episode of the Epley maneuver, the condition did not improve completely. The Epley maneuver was then applied 7 and 8 days later and the symptoms of BPPV disappeared. One year later, the patient remained symptom-free. Conclusions: Before sinus elevation with an osteotome, implant surgeons should screen out patients with a history of vertigo, to diminish the possibility of BPPV. Operators should be aware of BPPV symptoms. As the symptoms may be very incapacitating, immediate referral to an otorhinolaryngologist is recommended.

This case report describes the immediate loading of narrow diameter implants in the mandibular incisor area using full-digital flow. The 3-dimensional position of the implants was planned using digital software, and the corresponding surgical template was fabricated. The implants were inserted immediately after extraction and on the same day, the interim abutment and bridge were placed. At 8 weeks after surgery, the stability of the implants was measured and a digital impression was made using a scan body. Customized titanium abutments and a cement-type full zirconia bridge were delivered. At 36 weeks' follow-up, no clinical or radiographic complications were detected, and the patient was satisfied with the results.
