임시 보철물의 적절한 관리는 보철의 성공에 있어서 중요한 요소이다. 상악 전치 결손부 임시 보철물은 장경간의 결손부가 존재하거나, 타원형의 악궁을 가진 환자에서 자주 탈락하게 된다. 이는 상악 전치부가 구치부에 비해서 수평적인 힘에 더 많이 노출되며, 부가적으로 전방 캔틸레버 효과가 임시 보철물의 유지를 저해하고, 상악 전치부 임시 보철물은 하악의 기능 운동시 적절한 전방 유도를 제공하여야 하기 때문이다. 또한 임시 보철물의 최대 감합위에서 교합접촉은 지점선의 반대편에 위치하게 되어 그 자체로 임시 보철물의 탈락을 야기한다. 본 증례에서는 임시 임플란트를 이용하여 상악 전치부 보철물에 대한 전술한 유해 작용을 피할 수 있었고, 발치 후 치유기간 동안 환자에게 편안함과 만족감을 부여하였으므로 이를 보고하는 바이다.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the patients' knowledge on dental implants in a Turkish subpopulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Five hundred twenty seven Turkish adults referred to Yeditepe University Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul, Turkey, were presented with a questionnaire including 20 questions regarding the level of information and awareness about the dental implants. The data were collected and statistical analyses were performed with Chi square test to compare the descriptive data. RESULTS. Among 527 subjects, 54% were female and 46% were male with a mean age of 42.2 years. The rate of patients' implant awareness was 27.7%. When the patients were questioned about the treatment options for rehabilitation of tooth missing, 60.9% of patients were informed about fixed partial denture, followed by conventional complete denture (32.5%) and removable partial denture (24.9%). Six percent reported that they were very well informed about the dental implants whereas 48.2% were poorly informed. The information sources of the implants were from the dentist (44.5%), printed media (31.6%) and friends and acquaintances (17.3%), respectively. Sixteen percent of the population believed that their implants would last forever. CONCLUSION. The dentists should give more detailed information to the patients about dental implants and tooth-supported fixed partial dentures in the future.

본 증례는 구순구개열 환자에서 상순의 반흔, 상악 잔존치조제의 과도한 흡수, 협소한 구개 및 상악골의 열성장을 동반한 3급 악간관계로 인해 통상의 가철성 국소의치 수복에 한계를 보이기 때문에 상악 무치악 부위에 4개의 임플란트를 식립 후, CAD/CAM 시스템으로 밀링한 titanium bar를 이용한 상악 가철성 임플란트 피개 국소의치를 계획하였다. 통상의 주조방법은 주조 후 수축을 하게 되지만 CAD/CAM 시스템으로 밀링한 titanium bar는 높은 정밀성과 경제성 그리고 가벼운 장점이 있다. 하지만 실제 임상에서 milled bar는 아주 균등하고 정확한 마찰결합을 얻기 힘들며 의치의 반복적인 착탈에 의해 마찰 유지력이 감소 할 수 있다. 이에 milled bar와 함께 사용할 수 있는 다양한 보조 유지장치(e.g. friction pin, $ERA^{(R)}$, $CEKA^{(R)}$, magnetics, $Locator^{(R)}$ 등)를 같이 사용함으로써 부가적인 유지력, 경제성 및 교체의 용이성 등을 추가적으로 얻을 수 있다. 본 증례에서 milled titanium bar의 상부면에 drill and tapping 방법으로 $Locator^{(R)}$ 유지장치를 연결하였다. milled bar에 screw hole을 형성하고 3개의 $Locator^{(R)}$ 유지장치를 20 Ncm으로 체결하여 추가적인 유지력을 확보하였다. 보철수복 후, 환자가 원하는 심미적인 안모, 저작 기능 및 의치 유지에 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

Statement of problem: Recently there are on an increasing trend of using implants-especially in edentulous mandible of severly alveolar bone recessed. Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the displacement and stress distribution of various mandibular implant-retained overdenture models supported by two implants in interforaminal region under the occlusion scheme load. Material and method: FEA models were made by the 3D scanning of the edentulous mandibular dentiform. The three models were named as Model M1, M2, and M3 accord ing to the position of implants: M1, Lt. incisor area, M2, Canine area, and M3, 1st Premolar area. Inter-implant angulation model was named as M4. Conventional complete denture was named M5 and used as a control group. Ball implant and Gold matrice were used as a retentive anchors. The occlusion type loads were applied horizontally over each tooth. Results: 1. In mandibular implant retained overdenture Canine Protected Occlusion type load resulted in higher levels of stress to the implants and female matrices than other types of loads. 2. The overdenture model M1, with implants in lateral incisor areas resulted in lower stress concentration to the implants and female matrices than other models. 3. In mandibular implant retained overdenture the stresses of the implant and female matrice were lower in mesially inclined implant than these of parallel installed implant. Conclusion: Lateral incisor areas could be the best site for the implants in mandibular implant-retained overdenture. The mandibular implant retained overdenture models mentioned above showed to the lowest stress to the implants and female matrices.

Statement of problem : In cemented implant-supported porstheses, it is still controversy what kind of cement to use. However, the effect of thermocycling on retentive strength of cemented implant-supported prostheses has not been well investigated. Purpose : This study was tested to evaluate the effects of various cements and thermocycling on retentive strengths of cemented implant-supported prostheses. Material and methods : Prefabricated implant abutments, height 5mm, diameter 6mm, 3-degree taper per side, with light chamfer margins were used. Ten specimens of two-unit fred partial denture were fabricated. The luting agents used for this study were three provisional luting agents which were Temp bond, Temp bond NE, IRM and four permanent luting agents which were Panavia F, Fuji-cem, Hy-bond Zinc cement, Hy-bond Polycarboxylate cement. 24 hours after cementation. the retentive strengths were measured by the universal testing machine with a cross-head speed of 0.5mm/min. Then cementation procedures were repeated and specimens were thermocycled 1000 times at temperature of $5^{\circ}C$ and $55^{\circ}C$. After thermocycling, the retentive strengths were measured. Results : Before thermocycling, the retentive strengths were decreased with the sequence of Panavia F. Fuji-cem. Hy-bond Zinc cement. Hy-bond Polycarboxylate cement, IRM, Temp bond NE and Temp bond, and there were significant differences among each groups(p<0.05). After thermocycling, the retentive strengths were decreased with the sequence of Panavia F. Fuji-cem, Hybond Zinc cement, Hy-bond Polycarboxylate cement, IRM, Temp bond NE and Temp bond, and there were no significant differences among Panavia F, Fuji-cem and Temp bond NE, Temp bond(p>0.05). The retentive strengths before and after thermocycling showed significant differences in Hy-bond Zinc cement. IRM, Temp bond NE and Temp bond(p<0.05). Conclusion : Within the limitation of this study, thermocycling do not affect the retentive strengths of permanent luting agents but the retentive strengths of temporary cements were reduced significantly after thermocyling.

Statement of problem. Unreasonable distal cantilevered implant-supported prosthesis can mask functional problems of reconstruction temporarily, but it can cause serious strain and stress around its supported implant and surrounding alveolar bone. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate strain of implants supporting distal cantilevered fixed prosthesis with two different cantilevered length under distal cantilevered static load. Material and methods. A partially edentulous mandibular test model was fabricated with auto-polymerizing resin (POLYUROCK; Metalor technologies, Stuttgart, Swiss) and artificial denture teeth (Endura; Shofu inc., Kyoto, Japan). Two implants-supported 5-unit screw-retained cantilevered fixed prosthesis was made using standard methods with Type III gold alloy (Harmony C&B55; Ivoclar-vivadent, Liechtenstein, Germany) for superstructure and reinforced hard resin (Tescera; Ivoclar-vivadent, Liechtenstein, Germany) for occlusal material. Two strain gauges (KFG-1-120-C1-11L1M2R; KYOWA electronic instruments, Tokyo, Japan) were then attached to the mesial and the distal surface of each standard abutment with adhesive (M-bond 200; Tokuyama, Tokyo, Japan). Total four strain gauges were attached to test model and connected to dynamic signal conditioning strain amplifier (CTA1000; Curiotech inc., Paju, Korea). The stepped $20{\sim}100$ N in 25 N increments, cantilevered static load 8mm apart (Group I) or 16mm apart (Group II), were applied using digital push-pull gauge (Push-Pull Scale & Digital Force Gauge, Axis inc., Seoul, Korea). Each step was performed ten times and every strain signal was monitored and recorded. Results. In case of Group I, the strain values were surveyed by $80.7{\sim}353.8{\mu}m$ in Ch1, $7.5{\sim}47.9{\mu}m/m$ in Ch2, $45.7{\sim}278.6{\mu}m/m$ in Ch3 and $-212.2{\sim}718.7{\mu}m/m$ in Ch4 depending on increasing cantilevered static load. On the other hand, the strain values of Group II were surveyed by $149.9{\sim}612.8{\mu}m/m$ in Ch1, $26.0{\sim}168.5{\mu}m/m$ in Ch2, $114.3{\sim}632.3{\mu}m/m$ in Ch3, and $-323.2{\sim}-894.7{\mu}m/m$ in Ch4. Conclusion. A comparative statistical analysis using paired sample t-test about Group I Vs Group II under distal cantilevered load shows that there are statistical significant differences for all 4 channels (P<0.05).

PURPOSE. To integrate extra-oral facial scanning information with CAD/CAM complete dentures to immediately rehabilitate terminal dentition. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ten patients with terminal dentition scheduled for total extraction and immediate denture placement were recruited for this study. The patients were submitted to a facial scanning procedure using the in-office PritiMirror scanner with bite registration records in-situ. Definitive stone cast models and bite records were subsequently submitted to a lab scanning procedure using the lab scanner (iSeries DWOS; Dental Wings). The scanned models were used to create a virtual teeth setup of a complete denture. Using the intra-oral bite records as a reference, the virtual setup was incorporated in the facial scan thereby facilitating a virtual clinical evaluation (teeth try-in) phase. After applying necessary adjustments, the virtual setup was submitted to a CAM procedure where a 5-axis industrial milling machine (M7 CNC; Darton AG General) was used to fabricate a full-milled PMMA immediate provisional prosthesis. RESULTS. Total extractions were performed, the dentures were immediately inserted, and subjective clinical fit was evaluated. The immediate provisional prostheses were inserted and clinical fit, occlusion/articulation, and esthetics were subjectively assessed; the results were deemed satisfactory. All provisional prostheses remained three months in function with no notable technical complications. CONCLUSION. Ten patients with terminal dentition were treated using a complete digital approach to fabricate complete dentures using CAD/CAM technology. The proposed technique has the potential to accelerate the rehabilitation procedure starting from immediate denture to final implant-supported prosthesis leading to more predictable functional and aesthetics outcomes.

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.
