Statement of problem. Platform switching in implant prosthesis has been used for esthetic and biological purpose. But there are few reports for this concept. Purpose. The purpose of this study is evaluation of platform switching in wide implant by three dimensional finite element analysis. Materials and Methods. The single implant and prosthesis was modeled in accordance with the geometric designs for Osstem implant system. Three-dimensional finite element models were developed for (1) a wide diameter 3i type titanium implant 5 mm in diameter, 13 mm in length with wide cemented abutment, titanium alloy abutment screw, and prosthesis (2) a wide diameter 3i type titanium implant 5 mm in diameter, 13 mm in length with regular cemented abutment, titanium alloy abutment screw and prosthesis(platform switching) was made for finite element analysis. The abutment screws were subjected to a tightening torque of 30 Ncm. The amount of preload was hypothesized to 650N, and round and flat type prostheses were loaded to 200 N. Four loading offset point (0, 2, 4, 6 mm from the center of the implants) were evaluated. Models were processed by the software programs HyperMesh and ANSA. The PAM-CRASH 2G simulation software was used for analysis of stress. The PAM-VIEW and HyperView were used for post processing. Results. The results from experiment were as follows; 1. von Mises stress value is increased in order of bone, abutment, implant and abutment screw. 2. von Mises stress of abutment screw is lower when platform switching. 3. von Mises stress of implant is lower when platform switching until loading offset 4 mm. 4. von Mises stress of abutment is similar between each other. 5. von Mises stress of bone is slightly higher when platform switching. Conclusion. The von Mises stress pattern of implant components is favor when platform switch ing but slightly higher in bone stress distribution than use of wide abutment. The research about stress distribution is essential for investigation of the cortical bone loss.

Purpose: Modifications of implant design have been related to improving initial stability. The purpose of this study was to investigate their respective effect on initial stability between two tapered implant systems (self-tapping vs. non-self-tapping) in medium density bone using three different analytic methods. Materials and Methods: Self-tapping implant (GS III$^{(R)}$; Osstem Implant Co., Busan, Korea) and non-self-tapping implant (Replace Select$^{(R)}$; Nobel Biocare, G$\H{o}$teborg, Sweden) were investigated. In Solid rigid polyurethane blocks of artificially simulated Quality 2 bone, each of the 5 implants was inserted according to the manufacturer's instructions for medium-bone drilling protocol. Evaluation of initial stability was carried out by recording the maximum insertion torque (IT) and performing the resonance frequency analysis (RFA), and the pull-out test. Results: The IT and RFA values of self-tapping implant were significantly higher than those of non self-tapping implant (P=.009 and P=.047, respectively). In the pull-out values, no significant differences were found in implants between two groups (P=.117). Within each implant system, no statistically significant correlation was found among three different outcome variables. Conclusions: These findings suggest that design characteristics of implant geometry significantly influence the initial stability in medium bone density.

Purpose: This study was performed to compare and evaluate the effect of recipient site depths and diameters of the drills on the primary stability of implant in pig's ribs. Materials and methods: An intact pig's rib larger than 8 mm in width and 20 mm in height; RBM(resorbable blasting media) surface blasted ${\phi}3.75mm$ and 8.0 mm long USII Osstem Implants (Osstem Co., Korea) were used. To measure the primary stability, $Periotest^{(R)}$ (Simens AG, Germany) and $Osstell^{TM}$ (Model 6 Resonance Frequency Analyser: Integration Diagnostics Ltd., Sweden) were used. They were divided into 6 groups according to its recipient site formation method: D3H3, D3H5, D3H7, D3.3H3, D3.3H5, D3.3H7. Each group had, as indicated, 10 implants placed, and total 60 implants were used. The mean value was obtained by 4-time measurements each on mesial, distal, buccal, and lingual side perpendicular to the long axis of the implant using $Periotest^{(R)}$ and $Osstell^{TM}$. For statistical analysis one-way ANOVA was used to compare the mean value of each group, and the correlation between placement depths and the primary stability, and that of measuring instruments was analyzed using SPSS 12.0. Results: The primary stability of the implants increased as the placement depths increased (p<0.05), and showed a proportional relationship (p<0.01). The primary stability increased when the diameter of the recipient site was smaller than that of the implant but with no statistical significance. There was a strong correlation between $Osstell^{TM}$ and $Periotest^{(R)}$ (p<0.01). Conclusion: These results suggest that increasing the placement depth of implants enhances the primary stability of implant.

연구 목적: 이 연구는 임플란트 직경, 길이 및 식립 부위가 임플란트의 안정성에 미치는 영향을 후향적 평가를 통해 비교, 분석하고자 하였다. 연구 대상 및 방법: 72명의 환자에게 식립된 총 90개의 임플란트(US II plus$^{TM}$, Osstem co, Busan, Korea)를 대상으로 임플란트 식립 직후와 인상 채득 당시에 공진주파수분석법(RFA)으로 임플란트 안정성 지수(ISQ)가 측정되었다. 상 하악에 식립된 직경은 4 mm와 5 mm이고 길이는 10 mm, 11.5 mm, 13 mm인 임플란트가 실험대상으로 선택되었다. 측정된 ISQ 값의 평균과 표준편차를 구하고 우선적으로 성별에 따른 차이를 확인하기 위하여 Independent t-test를 시행하였다. 임플란트 직경, 길이, 식립부위에 따른 ISQ 값의 실험군간 차이는 One-way ANOVA를 이용해 분석하였고, 사후검정을 위해 Tukey HSD test가 사용되었다. 임플란트 식립시와 인상채득시의 차이는 paired t-test로 분석하였다. 결과:인상채득시가 임플란트 식립 직후보다 임플란트 안정성의 증가가 관찰되었다. 임플란트 길이가 증가할수록 ISQ 값은 증가하였으나 통계적으로 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 직경 5 mm 임플란트는 4 mm 임플란트 보다 유의성 있게 높은 ISQ 값을 보였다(P<.05). 하악에 식립된 임플란트가 상악보다 더 높은 ISQ값을 보였다(P<.05). 결론:본연구결과, 임플란트 안정성을 높이기 위해서는 직경이 큰 임플란트를 사용하는 것이 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 상악보다는 하악에서 더 높은 임플란트 안정성이 확인되었다. 임플란트 식립 직후의 일차 안정성보다 골유착 후 이차 안정성이 더 높게 나타남으로서 RFA를 이용한 방법이 골유착을 통한 임플란트 안정성의 변화를 평가함에 있어 임상적으로 유용한 것으로 판단된다. 임플란트 안정성 평가와 이에 영향을 주는 요소들에 대한 고려는 임플란트 하중 시기를 결정하고 임플란트 성공률을 증가시키는데 도움이 될 것이다.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of the implant master cast according to the type (pick-up, transfer) and the length (long, short) of the impression copings. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The metal master cast was fabricated with three internal connection type implant analogs (Osstem GS III analog), embedded parallel and with $10^{\circ}$ of mesial angulation to the center analog. Four types of impression coping were prepared with different combinations of types (transfer, pick-up) and lengths (long, short) of the coping. The impressions were made using vinyl polysiloxane (one step, heavy + light body) with an individual tray, and 10 impressions were made for each group. Eventually, 40 experimental casts were produced. Then, the difference in the distance between the master cast and the experimental cast were measured, and the error rate was determined. The analysis of variance was performed using the SPSS (v 12.0) program (${\alpha}$= .05), and the statistical significance was set at P < .05. RESULTS. The ANOVA showed that the pick-up type impression coping exhibited a significantly lower error rate than the transfer type. However, no significant difference was observed with respect to the length of the impression coping. Additionally, no significant difference was observed between the parallel and mesial angulated groups. CONCLUSION. Within the limitations of this study, the pick-up type impression coping exhibited a more accurate implant master cast than the transfer type in parallel group. The accuracy of the implant master cast did not differ for different lengths of impression coping of at least 11 mm. Additionally, the accuracy of the implant cast was not different for the parallel and $10^{\circ}$ mesial angulated groups.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of transfer learning in a deep convolutional neural network for classifying implant fixtures. Materials and Methods: Periapical radiographs of implant fixtures obtained using the Superline (Dentium Co. Ltd., Seoul, Korea), TS III(Osstem Implant Co. Ltd., Seoul, Korea), and Bone Level Implant(Institut Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland) systems were selected from patients who underwent dental implant treatment. All 355 implant fixtures comprised the total dataset and were annotated with the name of the system. The total dataset was split into a training dataset and a test dataset at a ratio of 8 to 2, respectively. YOLOv3 (You Only Look Once version 3, available at https://pjreddie.com/darknet/yolo/), a deep convolutional neural network that has been pretrained with a large image dataset of objects, was used to train the model to classify fixtures in periapical images, in a process called transfer learning. This network was trained with the training dataset for 100, 200, and 300 epochs. Using the test dataset, the performance of the network was evaluated in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. Results: When YOLOv3 was trained for 200 epochs, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and confidence score were the highest for all systems, with overall results of 94.4%, 97.9%, 96.7%, and 0.75, respectively. The network showed the best performance in classifying Bone Level Implant fixtures, with 100.0% sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. Conclusion: Through transfer learning, high performance could be achieved with YOLOv3, even using a small amount of data.

연구목적: 임플란트는 수직교합 하중에는 비교적 잘 견디나 측방하중에 대해서는 약한 역학적 성질을 갖고 있으므로 임플란트의 재료 특성과 기하학적 형태에 따른 응력 분석 연구의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 연구재료 및 방법: 외부육각구조를 갖는 28개의 임플란트를 7개씩 4군으로 나누어 그 제품에 적합한 UCLA gold abutment를 이용해, 제3형 금합금으로 보철 물을 제작하였고, A군 (3i, FULL $OSSEOTITE^{(R)}$-Implant), B군 (Nobelbiocare, Branemark $System^{(R)}$Mk III Groovy RP), C군 (Neobiotec, $SinusQuick^{(TM)}$ EB), D군 (Osstem, US-II)으로 분류하였다. 고정체와 지대주나사, 지대주를 연결한 후 수직적으로 절단하여 연마한 후 미세경도계를 이용하여 10군데에서 경도측정을 실시하였고, 동적하중 피로시험기를 이용하여 60-600 N범위로 파절시까지 동적 하중을 가하였다. 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 지대주나사 및 고정체의 파절 양상과 파절 위치 등을 관찰하였고, 유한요소분석을 통해 고정체와 지대주 나사에 나타나는 응력 분포와 파절면을 비교 분석하였다. 결과: 1.고정체 경도는 A, B, C, D군에서 각각 245.3, 289.7, 281.3, 300.4 Hv로 D군이 가장 높았고, A군이 가장 낮았다. 지대주 나사의 경도는 A, B, C, D군에서 각각 340.00, 317.62, 306.5, 306.2 Hv로 A군이 가장 높고, D군이 가장 낮았다. 2. 모든 실험군에서 임플란트 고정체의 파절은 응력이 집중되는 고정체 3-4번째 나사산 홈 (valley) 부위 또는 내면의 사공간부와 일치하는 부위에서 발생되었고, 피로수명은 A, B, C, D군에서 각각 31585, 47311, 30141, 105371로 D군이 가장 높았으며, A, B, C군과는 유의한 차이가 있었다(P<.05). 3. 파절양상은 B군과D군에서는 고정체와 나사 모두에서 수직 (longitudinal)파절과 수평 (transverse)파절이 동시에 일어나는 복합 (complex mode) 파절이 관찰 되었고, A와 C군에서는 고정체에서 수평 (transverse mode) 파절만이 관찰되었다. 4. 유한요소분석 결과 인장응력이 가장 높은 고정체 표면부에서 피로 균열이 시발되어 압축응력이 가장 높은 반대편 부위로 피로균열이 전파되었으며, 최대 유효 응력값은 C군이 가장 높았고, B군에서 가장 낮았다. 결론: 피질골 높이와 일치하는 임플란트 고정체 부위에서 최대 인장 주응력이 발생되며, 고정체 사공간부 (dead space)가 최대 인장 주응력이 작용하는 지그 표면과 일치할 때 피로파절이 발생되었다. 따라서 악골에 식립된 임플란트의 신뢰성을 향상시키고 수명을 증대시키기 위해서는 가능한 임플란트 주위의 골소실이 일어나지 않도록 해야 할 것이나 골흡수가 일어나 사공간부 수준까지 진행된다면 임플란트의 파절 빈도가 증가될 수 있으므로 이에 대한 대처가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Risk management is the process that helps to identify hazards, analyze them, and then to create an action plan to avoid and mitigate these hazards. The main objective of risk management in product development and manufacturing is to provide safe and efficient products without spending too many resources. Medical device manufacturers also face enormous risks - regulatory, legal, and financial - based on their products and processes, and the concepts of risk management are particularly important because any single failure may result in serious damages to body or loss of life. In this regard, a set of guidelines for the application of risk management to medical devices has been issued by ISO and specified in the document ISO 14971 Medical devices - Application of risk management to medical devices. The main objective of this study is to investigate the application of risk management to dental implant development and manufacturing processes based on ISO 14971. A general risk management process is first introduced, and the application of ISO 14971 to dental implants is further investigated.

Statement of problem: Resonance frequency analysis is evaluated as the non-invasive and objective method for the evaluation of implant stability and has been increasingly used. It is necessary to evaluate the factors affect the ISQ measurement stability. Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the effect of the autoclave sterilization and reuse of $Smartpeg^{TM}$ on ISQ measurement. Material and methods: $SmartPeg^{TM}$ (Integration Diagnostics Ltd., $G\ddot{o}teborg$, Sweden) of autoclave group (A) was autoclave sterilized 9 times and $Smartpeg^{TM}$ of reuse group (R) was reused 9 times. Ten $SmartPeg^{TM}s$ were allocated to each group and after each autoclave sterilization and reuse, implant stability quotient (ISQ) values were measured 3 times from the two directions a and b at a right angle. $Osstell^{TM}$ mentor (Integration Diagnostics Ltd. $G\ddot{o}teborg$, Sweden) was used and type 1 (article no. 100353) $Smartpeg^{TM}$ was selected according to $Smartpeg^{TM}$ reference list. Osstem Implant US II future (Osstem Co., Seoul, Korea) in $4.0mm{\times}11.5mm$ was embedded in the self-curing acrylic resin ($Orthojet^{(R)}$, Lang Dental, U.S.A.). Data was statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA $({\alpha}=.05)$ and scheffe test was done where a significant difference exist. Correlation test was also done between ISQ value and the number of autoclave sterilization or reuse. Results: 1. In autoclave group, the means and sd. of ISQ value before autoclave sterilization were $84.97{\pm}0.41,\;84.93{\pm}0.74$ at direction a and b. There was significant differences between autoclave groups at direction a and b (P=.000). 2. In reuse group, the means and sd. of ISQ value before reuse were $85.40{\pm}0.62,\;85.50{\pm}0.57$ at direction a and b. There was no significant difference between reuse groups at direction a and b (P>.05). 3. There was a weak positive correlation between the number of reuse and ISQ value at direction a and b (${\gamma}=.207$ and .246, P<.01). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the following conclusions were drawn. Till ninth reuse of $Smartpeg^{TM}$, the ISQ measurement stability did not be affected. After twice autoclave sterilization of $Smartpeg^{TM}$ the ISQ measurement stability was affected.
