Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the osseointegration of narrow-diameter implant with trapezoid-shape and to evaluate the effect of coronal microthreads on trapezoid-shape narrow-diameter implant. Materials and Methods: The experimental narrow-diameter implants were classified into two groups according to absence or presence of coronal microthreads: trapezoid-shape narrow diameter implant (TN group) and trapezoid-shape narrow-diameter implant with microthreads (TNM group). They were installed alternately in bilateral mandible in three dogs. After 8 weeks, the animals were sacrificed. Resonance frequency analysis, removal torque test, and histometric analysis were performed. Results: Statistically higher implant stability quotient (ISQ) values were observed in TNM group than in TN group at the time of implant installation. However, significant ISQ values difference was not observed between groups at 8 weeks. Both groups showed significantly increased ISQ values at 8 weeks, compared to the time of implant installation. There was no significant difference between groups in removal torque test. Bone-implant contact ratio also showed no significant difference between groups in total and coronal part. Conclusion: Within the limitation of this study, it could be concluded that the trapezoid-shape design on narrow-diameter implant showed successful ossointegration, and the microthreads on coronal part did not result in significant bone-implant contact and biomechanical stability at 8 weeks.

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 골폭이 좁은 치조골을 가진 환자에서 컴퓨터가이드를 이용한 무절개 임플란트 수술로 narrow implant 식립 후 최소 6개월 이상 경과한 환자를 대상으로 임플란트 주변의 골소실 예후를 평가하는데 있다. 재료 및 방법: 2017년 1월 1일부터 2019년 6월 30일 사이에 내원한 환자 중 임플란트 순측을 덮고 있는 치조골의 두께가 0.5 mm에서 1.5 mm 사이인 12명의 환자(12개 narrow implant)에서 CBCT를 이용하여 임플란트 순측에 남아 있는 치조골을 평가하였다. 결과: 임플란트를 덮고있는 순측 치조골의 폭이 아주 얇았지만, 수술 즉시 임시보철물을 장착후 6개월 이상 지난 임플란트의 CBCT를 촬영하여 식립전과 식립후 치조골 변화에 대한 방사선학적 평가에서 임플란트의 순측 치조골이 안정적으로 유지됨이 관찰되었다. 결론: 컴퓨터가이드를 이용한 무절개 임플란트 수술은 전치부에 골폭이 좁은 치조골을 가진 환자에서 임플란트 주변의 골소실을 방지하는데 유리함으로 narrow implant와 함께 유용하게 사용할 수 있는 방법으로 생각된다.

Statement of problem: Little is known about the effect of abutment preparation procedure on do-torque values in different implant platform and the relationship of final do-torque values with different implant platform size. Purpose: This study evaluated the effect of abutment preparation procedure on do-torque values in different implant platform and the relationship of final do-torque values with different implant platform size. Material and method: Six ITI implants (2 narrow-neck implants, 2 regular-neck implants, 2 wide-neck implants) and six Branemark implants (2 narrow platforms, 2 regular platforms, 2 wide platforms) were embedded in each acrylic resin block with epoxy resin. Eighteen $synOcta^(R)$ abutments (6 narrow-neck implant-abutments, 6 regular-neck implant-abutments, 6 wide-neck implant-abutments) and eighteen esthetic abutments (6 narrow platform-abutments, 6 regular platform-abutments, 6 wide platform-abutments) were tightened to each implant with digital torque gauge. Initial do-torque values were measured using digital torque gauge. After preparation of abutments, Final do-torque values were measured with digital torque gauge. Results and conclusion: 1. Screws loosening or abutments motion were not detected in all experimental group, but some scratches of implant-abutment joints were detected in all group 2. Reduction ratios of final do-torque values were greater than initial do-torque values in all measured group, except in narrow-neck implant-abutment group (p<0.05). 3. Reduction ratios of final do-torque values in wide-neck implant-abutment group were greater than regular-neck implant-abutment group (p<0.01). 4. The greatest standard deviation value was detected in wide platform group in both implant systems.

The modified ridge splitting/expansion technique combined with guided bone regeneration (GBR) for implant surgery is used to expand the narrow and atrophied edentulous alveolar ridge. Also, the simultaneous implant placement after ridge splitting/expansion technique can reduce the treatment and healing time. This case report includes three patients with a narrow edentulous alveolar ridge of the 2 to 4mm. All three patients underwent a fracture of thin buccal cortical bone plate, and these defects were corrected by the use of the guided bone regeneration (GBR). After 7 to 18 months, all surgical area was stable, and all implant showed a good healing state on the clinical and radiographic examination. In conclusion, though this surgical method is technique sensitive, the modified ridge splitting/expansion technique combined with GBR for implant surgery is recommended for a horizontal augmentation in the narrow edentulous alveolar ridge.

The aim of this case study was to report the clinical outcome of immediate provisionalization using one-piece narrow diameter (3.0mm) implants in missing maxillary lateral or mandibular incisors. The present study included 36 patients who were treated with 62 one-piece narrow diameter implants. After implant placement, immediate provisional restorations were delivered. All implants showed favorable osseointegration and after progressive loading from 3 months to 9 months (average of 5 months), final restorations were completed without failure in all cases. A survival rate of 100 % (62 of 62) was observed up to 23 months of observation (average of 12.6 months).

Long-term survival and prognosis of narrow-diameter implants have been reported to be adequate to consider them a safe method for treating a deficient alveolar ridge. The objective of this study was to perform case report of narrow-diameter implants with a trapezoid-shape in anterior teeth alveolar bone. A 50-year-old male patient presented with discomfort due to mobility of all of the maxillary teeth and mandibular incisors. Due to destruction of alveolar bone, four anterior mandibular teeth were extracted. Soft tissue healing was allowed for approximately 3 months after the extraction, and a new design of implant placement was planned for the mandibular incisor area, followed by clinical and radiological evaluation. Implant placement was determined using an R2GATE surgical stent. The stability of the implants was assessed by ISQ measurements at the first and second implant surgery and after prosthetic placement. At 1 and 3 months and 1 year after implantation of the prosthesis, clinical and radiological examinations were performed. Another 50-year-old male patient presented with discomfort due to mobility of the mandibular central incisors. For the same reason as in the first patient, implant placement was carried out in the same way after extraction. ISQ measurements and clinical and radiological examinations were performed as in the previous case. In these two clinical cases, 12 months of follow-up revealed that the implant remained stable without inflammation or additional bone loss, and there was no discomfort to the patient. In conclusion, computer-guided implant surgery was used to place an implant in an optimal position considering the upper prosthesis. A new design of a narrow-diameter implant with a trapezoid-shape into anterior mandibular alveolar bone is a less invasive treatment method and is based on the contour of the deficient alveolar ridge. Through all of these procedures, we were able to reduce the number of traumas during surgery, reduce the operation time and total treatment period, and provide patients with more comfortable treatment.

Statement of problem. As the effects of the various diameters of fixture and abutment screw on stress distribution was not yet examined, this study focused on the different design of single implant restoration using three dimensional finite element analysis. Purpose. This study was to compare five different fixture-abutment combinations for single implant supported restorations with different fixture and abutment screw diameters. Material of methods. The five kinds of finite element models were designed by 3 diameter fixtures ($\oslash$3.3, 3.75, 5.0 mm) with 3 different abutment screws $\oslash$1.5, 1.7, 2.0 mm). The crown for mandibular first molar was made using UCLA abutment according to Wheeler's anatomy. 244 N was applied at the central fossa with two different loading directions, vertically and obliquely (30$^{\circ}$) and at the buccal cusp vertically. Maximum von Mises stresses were recorded and compared in the supporting bone, crowns, fixtures, and abutment screws. Results. 1. The stresses in supporting bone and implant-abutment structure under oblique loading were greater than those under vertical or offset loading. The stresses under vertical loading were the least among 3 loading conditions regardless of the implant and abutment screw diameters. 2. The stresses in the narrow implants were greater than the wider implants. The narrow implant with narrow abutment screw showed highest stresses in the lingual crest, but the narrow implant with standard abutment screw showed highest stress in abutment screw. 3. The stresses of abutment screws were influenced by the diameter of fixtures and loading conditions. The wide implants showed least difference between two different abutment screw diameters. Conclusions. The wide implants showed lesser stresses than the narrow implants and affected least by the different abutment screw diameters. The narrow implants with standard abutment screw showed highest stresses in the lingual bony crest under oblique loading.

Background: The objective of this retrospective study was to show results from platform-switched narrow-diameter implants in the posterior edentulous region, which we followed up for more than 1 year after functional loading. Methods: Ninety-eight narrow implants were inserted into 66 patients. After healing, fixed implant-supported prostheses were delivered to the patients, and Periotest and radiographic examinations were performed. After the first year of loading, the implant outcome was again evaluated clinically and radiographically using the Periotest analysis. Crestal bone loss and Periotest values (PTVs) were used to evaluate the effect of surgery, prosthesis, implant, and a host-related factor. A general linear model was used to statistically detect variables statistically associated with crestal bone loss and Periotest value. Results: We followed up on the implants over 1 to 4 years after loading; their survival rate was 100 %, and pronounced differences from PTVs were noted among jaw location, bone quality, and loading period. No difference was detected in bone loss among the variables studied. Bone loss after functional loading was $0.14{\pm}0.39mm$. The stability value from the Periotest was $-3.29{\pm}0.50$. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, judicious use of platform-switched narrow implants with a conical connection must be considered an alternative for wide-diameter implants to restore a posterior edentulous region.
