Statement of problem. Implant screw loosening has been remained a problem in implant prosthodontics. The time needed to insert screw driver into abutment screw head should be shortened for the purpose of decreasing the chair time. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the design of abutment screw driver on the amount of time for insertion of screw driver into abutment screw head. Material and methods. Hexagonal and rectangular types of abutment screw drivers were used. The original abutment screw drivers were modified by grinding acute angle of the screw driver tip (modified drivers). Group 1 : hexagonal type abutment screw and original driver Group 2 : hexagonal type abutment screw and modified driver Group 3 : rectangular type abutment screw and original driver Group 4 : rectangular type abutment screw and modified driver UCLA lab analogues were located in acrylic resin block. The angulations of them were 0 and 20 degrees. The times needed for insertion were measured. Group 1 and 3 were used as controls. Results. 1. Group 2 showed shorter insertion time than group 1, regardless of implant angulations (p<.05). 2. Group 4 showed shorter insertion time than group 3, regardless of implant angulations (p<.05). Conclusion. Modified abutment screw drivers required less amount of time to insert screw driver into abutment screw head. Modification of abutment screw driver was beneficial.

Objectives: This study was performed to evaluate patterns of failure time after insertion, failure rate according to loading time after insertion, and the patterns of failure after loading. Materials and Methods: A total of 331 mini-implants were classified into the non-failure group (NFG) and failure group (FG), which was divided into failed group before loading (FGB) and failed group after loading (FGA). Orthodontic force was applied to both the NFG and FGA. Failed mini-implants after insertion, ratio of FGA to NFG according to loading time after insertion, and failed mini-implants according to failed time after loading were analyzed. Results: Percentages of failed mini-implants after insertion were 15.79%, 36.84%, 12.28%, and 10.53% at 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks, respectively. Mini-implant failure demonstrated a peak from 4 to 5 weeks after insertion. The failure rates according to loading time after insertion were 13.56%, 8.97%, 11.32%, and 5.00% at 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks, respectively. Percentages of failed mini-implants after loading were 13.79%, 24.14%, 20.69%, and 6.9% at 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks, respectively. Conclusion: Mini-implant stability is typically acquired 12 to 16 weeks after insertion, and immediate loading can cause failure of the mini-implant. Failure after loading was observed during the first 12 weeks.

Purpose : This study was designed to compare the easiness and speed of insertion of three supraglottic airway devices(SADs) in a manikin setting. Methods : Three different SADs - Laryngeal Mask Classic(cLMA), I-gel and Streamlined Liner of the Pharynx Airway(SLIPA) were applied. One hundred and nineteen paramedical students with(group H) or without (group L) previous airway experience were taught brief manikin training about the use of the cLMA, I-gel and SLIPA. The students inserted each device in a randomized order. Time to effective ventilation was recorded in seconds from holding the device to the first chest inflation. Success was determined as adequate chest wall movement. Results : The insertion attempts were lesser in I-gel($1.00{\pm}0.00$) and SLIPA($1.05{\pm}0.27$) than cLMA($1.16{\pm}0.41$, p<.05). The shortest time to insertion was recorded for I-gel($10.5{\pm}3.0sec$), followed by the SLIPA($12.9{\pm}4.5sec$) and cLMA($19.6{\pm}4.1sec$, p<.05). There were no significant differences in the insertion attempts and insertion time of I-gel between group L and group H. But in cLMA, longer insertion time and more insertion attempts were recorded in group L than group H. Conclusion : Both I-gel and SLIPA were superior to cLMA in the easiness and speed of insertion. Even in novice students, I-gel showed an excellent result in a manikin.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion from different positions, using different methods, on the quality of the insertion, for identifying a more convenient and effective insertion method. Methods: In a model ambulance, 30 paramedic students performed the LMA insertion procedure, in four different settings, combinations of the rescuer's position (at the head end of the patient, at the side of the patient), and insertion technique (index finger insertion, thumb insertion), in a randomized order. Quality of insertion index and convenience of use were measured. Results: The quality of insertion index (tidal volume, gastric insufflation, airway pressure, airway sealing pressure, midline positions, insertion success grade, and insertion time) were not significantly different among four different settings. However LMA insertion from the anterior (head) end, using the index finger method compared to the thumb method was found to be significantly more convenient. Conclusion: We recommend using the more convenient and familiar LMA insertion method, between index finger insertion and thumb insertion, regardless of rescuer's position.

Purpose : The present study was designed to provide basic data for advanced pre-hospital airway management by comparing the insertion time and success rate between laryngeal tube suction II (LTS II) and laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in a manikin. Methods : A total of 32 participants were novice users to both of devices among paramedic students. After taking the introductory lecture and demonstrations, the participants made an attempt to insert the LTS II and LMA to compare the insertion time and success rate. They marked the easiness of insertion of the score ranged from 1 to 10 score scale and preference of the two devices. Results : The insertion time of the LTS II was significantly shorter than that of the LMA (p =.000). There was no significant difference between LTS II and LMA in the success rate. In the easiness of insertion, the score of LTS II $(8.47{\pm}1.41score)$ was significantly higher than that of LMA $(7.19{\pm}1.98score)$(p =.001). The preference of LTS II (75%) was much higher than that of LMA (25%). Conclusion : The manikin study data showed that the LTS II may be a good alternative airway device for providing and maintaining a patent airway.

Statement of problem. Osseointegration is important mechanism of dental implant but it is not easy to evaluate. Indirect measurement is non-invasive and clinically applicable but they need more study about correlation between indirect values and degree of osseointegration. Purpose. The aims of this study were to evaluate the coefficient of correlation between indirect measurement and direct measurement under different healing time, and assessment of effect of initial insertion torque to the implant stability. Material and Methods. 20 rabbits received 3 implants on each side of tibia. Three kinds of implants (machined surface implant, Sandblasted with Large grit and Acid etched implant, Resorbable Blast Media treated implant) were used. During the surgery implant insertion torque were measured with $Osseocare^{TM}$. After the 1, 4, 8, 12 weeks of healing time, animals were sacrificed and stability values (Implant Stability Quotient with $Osstell^{TM}$, removal torque with torque gauge) were measured. Results. The Bone quality of rabbit tibia was classified into 2 groups according to the insertion torque. Resonance frequency analysis (ISQ) and removal torque showed positive correlation until $4^{th}$ week (r=0.555, p=0.040). After $8^{th}$ week (r=0.011, p=0.970) the correlation became weak and it turned negative at $12^{th}$ week (r=-0.074, p=0.801). Insertion torque and ISQ showed changing correlation upon the healing time ($1^{st}$ week: r=0.301, p=0.033, $4^{th}$ week: r=-0.429, p=0.018, $8^{th}$ week: r=0.032, p=0.865, $12^{th}$ week: r=-0.398, p=0.029). Insertion torque and removal torque has positive correlation but it was not statistically significant ($1^{st}$ week: r=0.410, p=0.129, $4^{th}$ week: r=0.156, p=0.578, $8^{th}$ week: r=0.236, p=0.398, $12^{th}$ week: r=0.260, p=0.350). Conclusion. In this study, bone quality may affect the degree of osseointegration positively during healing time and correlation between ISQ and degree of osseointegration can be different according to the healing time and bone quality.

A Study of N-Insertion Preferences in KoreanKyung-A Kook, Ju-Won Kim, Ho-Young LeeSince n-insertion is not an obligatory process in Korean, it is necessary to investigate what factors influence n-insertion preferences and whether n-insertion preferences have been changed over time. To find answers to these questions, an n-insertion preference test using a questionnaire was conducted. 183 words were selected for this test and 167 subjects participated in the test. The results of this test show that the n-insertion preferences were influenced by the speakers' age, the number and structure of the syllable, word class, phonetic environments, and familiarity. It is suggested that the results of this test should be incorporated into the Principles of Standard Pronunciation and in the Grand Dictionary of Standard Korean.

Sorting is an important data structure in many applications in the real world. Several sorting algorithms are currently in use for searching and other operations. Sorting algorithms rearrange the elements of an array or list based on the elements' comparison operators. The comparison operator is used in the accurate data structure to establish the new order of elements. This report analyzes and compares the time complexity and running time theoretically and experimentally of insertion, merge, and heap sort algorithms. Java language is used by the NetBeans tool to implement the code of the algorithms. The results show that when dealing with sorted elements, insertion sort has a faster running time than merge and heap algorithms. When it comes to dealing with a large number of elements, it is better to use the merge sort. For the number of comparisons for each algorithm, the insertion sort has the highest number of comparisons.

Priority queues can be used in applications such as scheduling, sorting, retrival based on a priority like gene searching, shortest paths computation. This paper proposes a data structure using array representation for double-ended priority queue in which insertion and deletion takes O(1) amortized time and O(logn) time, respectively. To the author's knowledge, all the published array-based data structures for double ended priority queue support O(logn) time insertion and deletion operations.
