Adequate bone quality and stress distribution to the bone are of decisive importance for implant success. Even though the success rates of dental implants have been high, implant failures do occur. Overloading has been identified as a primary factor behind dental implant failure. The purpose of this study was to theoretically investigate the effect of two types of implants on the stress distribution in poor bone quality. Employing the finite element method, the study modeled a 4.1 mm diameter, 12.0 mm length implant placed in cortical or spongeous bone. A static loading of lOON was applied at the occlusal surface at 0, 30 degrees angle to the vertical axis of the implant. von Mises stresses concentrations in the supporting bone were analyzed with finite element analysis program. The results were as follows; 1. The stresses at the marginal bone were higher under buccal oblique load(30 degrees off of the long axis) than under vertical load. 2. Under buccal oblique load, the stresses were higher at the lingual marginal bone than at the buccal marginal bone, and the differences were almost the same. 3, Under vertical and oblique load, the stress was the highest at the marginal bone and lowest at the bone around apical portions of implant in cortical bone. 4, Under vertical load, Model 1 showed more effective stress distribution than Model 2 irrespective of bone types. On the other hand, Model 2 showed lower stress concentration than Model 1 under buccal oblique load.

Since the early study about the osseointegration, lots of researches have been performed to increase the success rate and the stress around the implant in the jaw bone has been considered as one of the causes of failure. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the implant failure and the stress by analysing the influence of different bone quality and bite force of some foods on the stress distribution around the implant, and to estimate the treatment result according to the bone quality and dietary pattern of patients. Bone quality was divided in 4 groups and models were drawn with the assumption that thread type implant(Nobel Biocare AB, Goteborg, Sweden) of 3.75mm diameter, 13mm length was installed to the bones. Various bite forces were applied to the occlusal surface of superstructure and the stress distributed around the implant were analysed with finite element analysis program. The results were as follows ; 1. The stress was changed proportionally to the bite forces of foods at all measuring points in all load cases. 2. The stress at the marginal bone was higher than that of the other measuring points in all load cases, and it was decreased at the first thread area. 3. The stress at the marginal bone was highest in type IV bone in all load cases. Especially it was twice those of other bone types at the bucco-lingual marginal bone and 50% higher at the mesio-distal marginal bone. 4. The stress at the bucco-lingual sides of the bone around the apical portions of implant showed little differences among the bone types, while type IV bone showed lower stress concentration than the other bone types in the mesio-distal sides. 5. Under the buccal oblique load ($15^{\circ}$ ), the stress at the lingual marginal bone was higher than that of buccal marginal bone, and the difference between the two points was almost same regardless of bone types.

Oral implants must fulfill certain criteria arising from special demands of function, which include biocompatibility, adequate mechanical strength, optimum soft and hard tissue integration, and transmission of functional forces to bone within physiological limits. And one of the critical elements influencing the long-term uncompromise functioning of oral implants is load distribution at the implant- bone interface, Factors that affect the load transfer at the bone-implant interface include the type of loading, material properties of the implant and prosthesis, implant geometry, surface structure, quality and quantity of the surrounding bone, and nature of the bone-implant interface. To understand the biomechanical behavior of dental implants, validation of stress and strain measurements is required. The finite element analysis (FEA) has been applied to the dental implant field to predict stress distribution patterns in the implant-bone interface by comparison of various implant designs. This method offers the advantage of solving complex structural problems by dividing them into smaller and simpler interrelated sections by using mathematical techniques. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stresses induced around the implants in bone using FEA, A 3D FEA computer software (SOLIDWORKS 2004, DASSO SYSTEM, France) was used for the analysis of clinical simulations. Two types (external and internal) of implants of 4.1 mm diameter, 12.0 mm length were buried in 4 types of bone modeled. Vertical and oblique forces of lOON were applied on the center of the abutment, and the values of von Mises equivalent stress at the implant-bone interface were computed. The results showed that von Mises stresses at the marginal. bone were higher under oblique load than under vertical load, and the stresses were higher at the lingual marginal bone than at the buccal marginal bone under oblique load. Under vertical and oblique load, the stress in type I, II, III bone was found to be the highest at the marginal bone and the lowest at the bone around apical portions of implant. Higher stresses occurred at the top of the crestal region and lower stresses occurred near the tip of the implant with greater thickness of the cortical shell while high stresses surrounded the fixture apex for type N. The stresses in the crestal region were higher in Model 2 than in Model 1, the stresses near the tip of the implant were higher in Model 1 than Model 2, and Model 2 showed more effective stress distribution than Model.

연구 목적: 지금까지 성공적인 임플란트 치료를 위해 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔으며, 임플란트 주변 골 흡수 현상에 대한 연구는 매우 관심이 높은 분야 중 하나이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 삼차원 유한요소응력분석을 이용하여 변연골 흡수가 내측연결 임플란트 매식체의 기계적 안정성에 미치는 영향을 간접적으로 확인하고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 악골에 식립된 내측연결 형태의 임플란트 매식체에 티타늄 소재의 임플란트 지대주를 지대주 나사로 연결하고 상부에 금합금관을 장착하는 삼차원 유한요소모형을 설계하였다. 0, 1, 2, 3 mm의 변연골 흡수 상태를 적용하고, 교합면 중심에서부터 3 mm 편측에 300 N의 수직 하중을 가하여 임플란트 매식체에 발생하는 최대 주 응력을 계산하였다. 결과: 유한요소분석결과 변연골 흡수에 따른 임플란트 매식체의 최대 주응력 분포는 유사한 양상을 보였으며, 임플란트 매식체 상단에서 가장 높은 응력 집중이 나타났다. 최대 주응력은 처음 1 mm 변연골 흡수를 가정하였을 때 가장 크게 증가하였고, 이후 변연골 흡수가 증가할수록 응력은 증가하였지만 응력 증가의 폭은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 결론: 이러한 결과로부터 내측연결 임플란트에서 매식체 두께가 얇은 경부의 노출은 변연골 흡수로 인한 응력 증가에 가장 큰 원인임을 알 수 있었으며, 매식체의 변형, 균열 및 파절 등의 기계적 실패를 감소시키기 위해서는 이에 대한 외과적, 보철적 고려가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: Implant wall thickness and the height of the implant-abutment interface are known as factors that affect the distribution of stress on the marginal bone around the implant. The goal of this study was to evaluate the long-term effects of supracrestal implant placement and implant wall thickness on maintenance of the marginal bone level. Methods: In this retrospective study, 101 patients with a single implant were divided into the following 4 groups according to the thickness of the implant wall and the initial implant placement level immediately after surgery: 0.75 mm wall thickness, epicrestal position; 0.95 mm wall thickness, epicrestal position; 0.75 mm wall thickness, supracrestal position; 0.95 mm wall thickness, supracrestal position. The marginal bone level change was assessed 1 day after implant placement, immediately after functional loading, and 1 to 5 years after prosthesis delivery. To compare the marginal bone level change, repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to evaluate the statistical significance of differences within groups and between groups over time. Pearson correlation coefficients were also calculated to analyze the correlation between implant placement level and bone loss. Results: Statistically significant differences in bone loss among the 4 groups (P<0.01) and within each group over time (P<0.01) were observed. There was no significant difference between the groups with a wall thickness of 0.75 mm and 0.95 mm. In a multiple comparison, the groups with a supracrestal placement level showed greater bone loss than the epicrestal placement groups. In addition, a significant correlation between implant placement level and marginal bone loss was observed. Conclusions: The degree of bone resorption was significantly higher for implants with a supracrestal placement compared to those with an epicrestal placement.

Statement of problem : Stress concentration on the neck bone affects the bone resorption, and finally the implant survival. Purpose: In order to examine the stress distribution on the neck bone and prosthesis abutment for implants, decreasing abutment sizes were used. Material and methods : Axisymmetric models were used to obtain the data required. These models were composed of 4mm implants with 3.4mm and 4mm abutments, 5mm implants with 3.4mm and 5mm abutments and 6mm implants with 3.4mm and 6mm abutments. All abutments were designed to received a 10mm high by 10mm diameter gold crown. Functional element analysis was used to obtain these results using data that consisted of 50 N vertical and 45 degree inclination forces. Results : 1. Changing the diameter of the abutment on the implant affects the effect of the inclination forces more than the effect of the vortical forces. 2. Changing the diameter of the abutment on the implant affect the effect of the inclination forces more than the effect of the vertical forces. 3. Experimentation showed that the larger diameter implants provided a decreased neck bone stress, whereas a larger diameter abutment provided a decrease marginal abutment stress. 4. Experimentation showed that the neck bone and abutment received more stress from inclination forces than vertical forces, Conclusions: By decreasing the size of the abutment on the implant we were able to diminishneck bone stress.

연구목적: 본 연구에서는 임플란트 주변 골흡수 양상의 차이가 임플란트와 주변골의 응력 분산에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 수평 골흡수와 임플란트 주변 수직 골흡수에 있어서 주변골의 응력분산, 생물학적 폭경의 형성과 응력분산의 변화 관계 및 병적인 골흡수시의 주변골 응력분포를 유한요소 분석법을 사용하여 비교하고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법:우측 제1 소구치 전방에서 제2 대구치 후방까지의 하악골 모형에서 자연치를 제거하고 직경 4.0 mm, 길이 10.0 mm의 나사형 임플란트를 제1 대구치 부위에 식립하였다. 수평 수직 골흡수의 차이를 보기 위하여 골흡수가 나타나지 않은 형태를 대조군 (I)으로 하여, 1.5 mm 수평 골흡수 (H1.5), 3.0 mm 수평 골흡수 (H3.0) 모형과 이에 상응하는 수직 골흡수 모형 (VW1.5; 1.5 mm, VW3.0; 3.0 mm)을 설계하였고, 생물학적 폭경의 형성과 응력 변화를 관찰하기 위해 생물학적 폭경이 형성되는 과정을 가정한 모형(B0; 피질골에서 임플란트와의 골유착이 없이 밀접하게 접촉된 상태, B1; 피질골에 0.5 mm 폭의 수직 골흡수가 발생한 상태)과 생물학적 폭경이 형성된 상태 (B2)의 모형을 설계하였으며, 생물학적 폭경이 형성된 상태는 0.5 mm 폭을 가지며 임플란트 장축에 경사진 형태를 가지고 있는 1.5 mm 깊이의 수직 골흡수 상태로 형성하였다. 병적 골흡수 상태는 수직 골흡수를 가정한 기존 모형 (VW1.5, VW3.0)과 골흡수가 더 진행된 VW4.5, 기저부에 피질골화가 이루어지지 못한 VO3.0, VO4.5, VO6.0모형을 추가하였다. 하중조건은 수직, 수평하중 그리고 협측 $45^{\circ}$경사하중을 각각 100 N씩 임플란트 보철물 부위에 가하였다. 결과: 분석결과 수평 골흡수와 수직 골흡수에 있어서 전반적인 응력의 크기와 임플란트에 가해지는 응력의 크기는 서로 대응하는 모형에서 유사하였으며, 수직 골흡수에 서 수직력을 받을 때 C2에서 C4로 1.5 mm의 골흡수가 증가하였으나 골에서 발생한 최대응력은 오히려 감소하였다. 수직 골흡수에서 응력이 결손부의 수직 벽을 통해 상부로 분산되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 생물학적 폭경 형성 단계에서 응력이 가해지는 경우 피질골에서의 결합이 없는 A2에서 피질골 전반에 높은 응력이 발생하였으며 생물학적 폭경의 완성을 가정한 B1에서는 임플란트와 피질골의 경계에서 발생한 응력이 경사진 피질골을 따라서 퍼져나가고 있음을 보였다. 병적 골흡수에서 골결손부 하방에 피질골이 없는 경우는 골흡수에 비례하여 응력이 증가 하였으나 피질골이 있는 경우에는 응력의 증가가 골흡수량의 증가와 비례하지 않음을 보였다. 결론: 임플란트 주변 골흡수의 양이 같아도 흡수된 형태에 따라 발생하는 응력의 크기와 응력분산이 다르게 나타났으며 초기 골흡수 현상은 피질골과의 결합이 약할 때 이 부위에 응력이 증가되어 나타나며, 이후 응력이 감소되어 평형을 이루는 것으로 보인다. 수직 골흡수가 증가할 경우 피질골의 존재 유무가 응력 분산에 큰 영향을 미치며 피질골이 있는 경우 일정 범위에서 응력의 감소가 나타나 응력분산에 유리한 형태에서 골흡수의 진행을 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the stress distribution according to the thread design and the marginal bone loss of a single unit dental implant under the axial and offset-axial loading by three dimensional finite element analysis. The implants used had the diameter of 5mm and 4mm with 13mm in length and prosthesis with a conical type which is 6mm in height and 12mm in diameter. The thread designs were triangular, square and buttress. In the three dimensional finite element model with $15\times15\times20mm$ hexahedron and 2mm cortical thickness, implants were placed with crown to root ratio 7:12, 10:9, 13:6 and 16:3. And additionally the axial force of 100N were applied into 0mm, 2mm and 4mm away from the center of the implants. The results were as follows 1. The maximum von-Mises stress in cortical bone was concentrated to cervical area of implant, and in cancellous bone, apical portion. 2. Comparing the von-Mises stresses in cortical bone of 2mm and 4mm offset loading with central axial loading, it were increased to 3 and 5 times in diameter 4mm implant, and 2 and 4 times, in diameter 5mm implant. 3. The square threads were more effective than the triangular and butress as the longer diameter, the offset loading, and the worse crown to root ratio. 4. The von-Mises stresses were relatively stable until crown to root ratio 13:6, but it was suddenly increased at 16:3. From the results of this study, minimum requirement of crown to root ratio of implant is 2:1, and in the respect of crown to root ratio, diameter and offset loading, square threads are more effective than triangular and buttress threads.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of prostheses misfit, cantilever on the stress distribution in the implant components and surrounding bone using three dimensional finite element analysis. Two standard 3-dimensional finite element models were constructed: (1) 3 ITI implant supported, 3-unit fixed partial denture and (2) 3 ITI implant supported, 3-unit fixed partial denture with a distal cantilever. variations of the standard finite element models were made by placing a $100{\mu}m$ or $200{\mu}m$ gap between the fixture, the abutment and the crown on the second premolar and first molar. Total 14 models were constructed. In each model, 244 N of vertical load and 244 N of $30^{\circ}$ oblique load were placed on the distal marginal ridge of the distal molar. von Mises stresses were recorded and compared in the crowns, abutments, crestal compact bones, and trabecular bones. The results were obtained as follows: 1. In the ITI implant system, cement-retained prostheses showed comparatively low stress distributions on all the implant components and fixtures regardless of the misfit sizes under vertical loading. The stresses were increased twice under oblique loading especially in the prostheses with cantilever, but neither showed the effects of misfit size. 2. Under the oblique loading and posterior cantilever, the stresses were highly increased in the crestal bones around ITI implants, but effects of misfit were not shown. Although higher stresses were shown on the apical portion of trabecular bones, the effects by misfit were little and the stresses were increased by the posterior cantilever. 3. When the cement loss happened in the ITI implant supported FPD with misfit, the stresses were increased in the implant componets and supporting structures.
