Maxillary sinus membrane elevation and bone graft have been performed routinely in alveolar bone with insufficient residual bone height. There are a number of causes for development of maxillary sinusitis after these procedures. When maxillary sinusitis is caused by sinus membrane elevation, bone graft, and implant placement, various treatment such as medication, incision and drainage (I&D), implant removal, and the Caldwell-Luc procedure can be considered. Removal of an implant or the Caldwell-Luc procedure can be harmful if inflammation is not present in the oral cavity and survival of grafted bone and implant osseointegration can be expected despite the presence of maxillary sinusitis. In this case, functional endoscopic sinus surgery, which was often used in the otorhinolaryngology department, was performed without removal of the implant for a patient with maxillary sinusitis after one month following implant placement. Thus, we report on this case with a review of the literature.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between quality of sleep and dental fear in implant surgery patients. Methods : A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 153 implant patients from December 2012 to February 2013 in dental clinics and hospitals in Busan and Changwon. Data were analyzed by descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis using SAS version 9.20. Results : The quality of sleep in the implant patients was $41.0{\pm}6.0$. The systemic diseases influenced on the quality of sleep and dental fear also affected the quality of sleep. Conclusions : The results of the analysis of a relationship between the fear perception of dental implant surgery patients and the quality of their sleep showed that the patients with systemic diseases, the patients with a fear by the physical stimulation relating to implant treatment showed the low quality of sleep.

To examine local response of adenosie(purine nucleoside) on the developing mammary gland, Elvax 40P implants containing adenosine were surgically implanted into mammary fat pad of the five week old female ICR mice. Inguinal(the 4th) mammary glands of anesthetized mice were exposed andplaced the implants for 12 days. One gland was treated with an adenosine implant, while the contralateral gland received a blank implant as control. For whole-mount preparations, glands were stained with alum carmine, and for histological observation, micro-selected mammary glands were stained with hematoxylin and eosin Y. Implantation with Elvax 40P did not affect on the damage of neighboring mammary tissue. Adenosie 25 or 250$\mu\textrm{g}$ per slow-release implant stimulated local mammary end bud formation of ovariectomized mice such as end bud size and numbers of end bud per gland in a dose dependent manner(P<0.05), and lower concentration of adenosie(2.5 or 25$\mu\textrm{g}$/implant) increased numbers of end bud(P<0.05) and end bud size(P<0.1) of intact mice. Adenosine treatment and intact ovarian function had moderate interation effects on the stimulation of end bud formation at 2.5$\mu\textrm{g}$ adenosine/implant(P<0.1). In histological observation, adenosine implants increased numbers of mammary epithelial type of cells at mammary duct in the presence or absece ofovary. These results indicate that adenosine should be one of regulators in mouse mammary ductal growth.

Peri-implant disease is a serious problem that plagues today's dentistry, both in terms of therapy and epidemiology. With the expansion of the practice of implantology and an increasing number of implants placed annually, the frequency of peri-implant disease has greatly expanded. Its clinical manifestations, in the absence of a globally established classification, are peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, the counterparts of gingivitis and periodontitis, respectively. However, many doubts remain about its features. Official diagnostic criteria, globally recognized by the dental community, have not yet been introduced. The latest studies using metagenomic methods are casting doubt on the assumption of microbial equivalence between periodontal and peri-implant crevices. Research on most of the features of peri-implant disease remains at an early stage; moreover, there is not a commonly accepted treatment for it. In any case, although the evidence so far collected is limited, we need to be aware of the current state of the science regarding this topic to better understand and ultimately prevent this disease.

The advent of osseointegration and advances in biomaterials and techniques have contributed to increased application of dental implants in the restoration of maxillary partial edentulous patients. Often, in these patients, soft and hard tissue defects result from a variety of causes, such as infection, trauma, and tooth loss. These create an anatomically less favorable foundation for ideal implant placement. Reconstruction of the atrophic maxillary alveolar bone through a variety of regenerative surgical procedures has become predictable; it may be necessary prior to implant placement or simultaneously at the time of implant surgery to provide a restoration with a good long-term prognosis. Regenerative procedures are used for horizontal and vertical ridge augmentation. Many different techniques exist for effective bone augmentation. The approach is largely dependent on the extent of the defect and specific procedures to be performed for the implant reconstruction. It is most appropriate to use an evidenced-based approach when a treatment plan is being developed for bone augmentation cases. The cases presented in this article clinically demonstrate the efficacy of using a autogenous block graft, guided bone regeneration, ridge split, immediated implant placement technique on the atrophic maxillary area.

Statement of problems: There are few studies which reported the survival rates of the specific dental implant systems in the Korean population with the follow-up periods longer than 5 years. Purpose: This retrospective clinical study was aimed to evaluate cumulative survival rate (CSR) of $Br{\aa}nemark$ implants followed for 10 years and to determine risk factors for implant failure. Material and methods: A total of 271 $Br{\aa}nemark$ implants in 83 patients were investigated with several identified risk factors. Life table analysis was undertaken to examine the CSR. Cox regression method was conducted to assess the association between potential risk factors and overall CSR. Results: Thirty implants failed. The 10-year implant CSR was 82.5%. Cox regression analysis demonstrated a significant predictive association between overall CSR and implant length (P<.05). Conclusion: An acceptable long-term result of $Br{\aa}nemark$ implant was achieved and implant length showed a significant association with the CSR.

For implant treatment there must be sufficient bone to house the implant body. At least 5mm wide residual bone is needed and usually a 6mm width is preferred by clinicians. However, surgeons sometimes find patients with a narrow ridge, which makes it difficult to place an implant. Therefore, many clinicians perform bone graft or a ridge splitting technique to overcome these poor conditions. The time and cost can be reduced using the ridge splitting technique with immediate implant placement. Recently, many studies reported reliable consequences of ridge splitting technique. This paper reports a successful of implant placement with a ridge splitting technique in a very thin alveolar ridge.

Implant-supported overdenture is a reliable treatment option for the patients with edentulous mandible when they have difficulty in using complete dentures. Several options have been used for implant-supported overdenture attachments. Among these, bar attachment system has greater retention and better maintainability than others. SFI-Bar$^{(R)}$ is prefabricated and can be adjustable at chairside. Therefore, laboratory procedures such as soldering and welding are unnecessary, which leads to fewer errors and lower costs. A 67-year-old female patient presented, complaining of mobility of lower anterior teeth with old denture. She had been wearing complete denture in the maxilla and removable partial denture in the mandible with severe bone loss. After extracting the teeth, two implants were placed in front of mental foramen, and SFI-Bar$^{(R)}$ was connected. A tube bar was seated to two adapters through large ball joints and fixation screws, connecting each implant. The length of the tube bar was adjusted according to inter-implant distance. Then, a female part was attached to the bar beneath the new denture. This clinical report describes two-implant-supported overdenture using the SFI-Bar$^{(R)}$ system in a mandibular edentulous patient.

부분 무치악을 수복하는 데 있어서 선택할 수 있는 치료의 옵션으로는 전통적인 국소의치와 임플란트 지지-고정성 보철물 등이 있다. 하지만, 환자의 전신적 또는 구강의 상태(수술적인 술식이 제한되는 전신병력, 지지조직의 부족 그리고 골유착에 실패한 임플란트)와 치료비용에 대한 허용 정도에 따라 모든 옵션이 항상 가능한 것은 아니다. 가철성 국소의치는 임플란트 고정성 보철물에 비해 구강위생 관리 및 상,하악 악간관계의 부조화를 수정하기에 편리한 장점이 있다. 최근에는 전략적 위치에 임플란트를 식립하여 기존 악궁 형태에서는 제한되는 국소의치 디자인의 한계를 개선할 수 있는 임플란트지지형 RPD(Implant Supported Removable Partial Denture)가 새로운 방안으로 대두되고 있다. ISRPD는 전략적 위치에 임플란트를 식립하여 역학적인 한계를 극복할 수 있을 뿐 만 아니라 전악의 임플란트지지형 고정성 보철이 제한되는 환자에서 보다 경제적이고 현실적인 보철적 해결책이 될 수 있다. 따라서, RPD를 이용한 보철계획 수립시 전략적 위치에서의 임플란트의 사용은 고전적인 가철성 국소 의치에서보다 유지력과 안정성을 증진시키고 구강위생관리 또한 용이하여 환자의 적응도를 높이는 방안으로 고려될 수 있다. 본 증례는 상악 양측 구치부의 임플란트 고정성 보철,하악의 bar-type overdenture를 사용중이던 59세 남성환자에서 상악 #15i임플란트의 abutment screw fracture와 임플란트의 골유착 실패로 인한 다수 임플란트를 발거 후 남은 #15i,24i,25,26,i의 잔존 임플란트와 #23 자연치를 활용해 상악에 ISRPD를 적용한 경우이다. #23 surveyed crown, #24i=25i=26i surveyed bridge 및 #15i에 gold coping을 제작하여 국소의치의 지지와 유지,안정을 도모하였다.최종 보철물을 장착하고 2년간 주기적인 follow up 통해 예후를 관찰중이며 지대치로 사용한 임플란트에서 screw loosening이나 파절, 골흡수 등의 증상은 현재까지 관찰되지 않았다.
