Purpose. The aim of the study was to compare the lingualized implant placement creating a buccal cantilever with prosthetic-driven implant placement exhibiting excessive crown-to-implant ratio. Materials and Methods. Based on patient's CT scan data, two finite element models were created. Both models were composed of the severely resorbed posterior mandible with first premolar and second molar and missing second premolar and first molar, a two-unit prosthesis supported by two implants. The differences were in implants position and crown-to-implant ratio; lingualized implants creating lingually overcontoured prosthesis (Model CP2) and prosthetic-driven implants creating an excessive crown-to-implant ratio (Model PD2). A screw preload of 466.4 N and a buccal occlusal load of 262 N were applied. The contacts between the implant components were set to a frictional contact with a friction coefficient of 0.3. The maximum von Mises stress and strain and maximum equivalent plastic strain were analyzed and compared, as well as volumes of the materials under specified stress and strain ranges. Results. The results revealed that the highest maximum von Mises stress in each model was 1091 MPa for CP2 and 1085 MPa for PD2. In the cortical bone, CP2 showed a lower peak stress and a similar peak strain. Besides, volume calculation confirmed that CP2 presented lower volumes undergoing stress and strain. The stresses in implant components were slightly lower in value in PD2. However, CP2 exhibited a noticeably higher plastic strain. CONCLUSION. Prosthetic-driven implant placement might biomechanically be more advantageous than bone quantity-based implant placement that creates a buccal cantilever.

저자들은 임프란트 매식 후 골유착을 위한 초기 치유기간 이전에 악정형력이 임프란트 주위 조직에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 가토 12마리의 양측 대퇴골에 임프란트를 식립하고 2주, 4주 그리고 6주후에 각각 300g의 악정형력을 Ni-Ti close coil spring을 이용하여 매식된 임프란트에 4주동안 가하고 관찰한 후 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 모든 실험군의 임프란트는 4주간의 악정형력 적용후에도 안정된 견고성을 유지하였다. 2. 2주 실험군에서 대조군에 비해 임프란트와 골조직 사이의 섬유조직 증식이 많이 관찰 되었으나 특이할만한 염증소견은 관찰되지 않았다. 3. 4주 실험군, 대조군에서는 2주 실험군, 대조군과 각각 비교하였을 때 보다 많은 양의 골재생이 관찰 되었으며 실험군과 대조군 모두에서 임프란트와 골조직 사이의 섬유조직은 관찰하기 힘들었다. 4. 6주에서는 실험군과 대조군 사이에 뚜렷한 차이가 발견되지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 보아 임프란트 주위의 골조직 재생이 충분하지 않아도 골의 양과 질이 우수해 임프란트 식립시 견고한 초기고정을 얻을 수 있다면 골유착이 완성되는 초기 치유기간 이전에도 치과교정적 고정원으로 사용가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Background: Implants are becoming the first choice of rehabilitation for tooth loss. Even though they have a high success rate, failures still occur for many reasons. The objective of this study is to analyze the reasons for recurring failure at the same site and the results of re-implantation. Methods: Thirteen patients (11 males and 2 females, mean age 60 ± 9.9 years) who experienced implant surgery failure at the same site (same tooth extraction area) two or more times in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, between 2004 and 2017 were selected. The medical records on a type, sites, diameter, and length of implants; time and estimated cause of failure; and radiographs were reviewed. Data were collected and analyzed retrospectively, and the current statuses were evaluated. Results: A total of 14 implants experienced failure in the same site more than two times. Twelve implants were placed in the maxilla, while 2 implants were placed in the mandible. The maxillary molar area was the most common site of failure (57.1%), followed by the mandibular molar, anterior maxilla, and premolar areas (14.3% each). The first failure occurred most commonly after prosthetic treatment (35.7%) with an average period of failure of 3.8 months after loading. Ten cases were treated as immediate re-implantation, while the other 4 were delayed reimplantation after an average of 3.9 months. The second failure occurred most commonly after prosthetic treatment (42.9%), with an average of 31 months after loading; during the healing period (42.9%); and during the ongoing prosthetic period (14.3%). In 3 cases (21.4%), the treatment plan was altered to an implant bridge, while the other 11 cases underwent another implant placement procedure (78.6%). Finally, a total of 9 implants (64.3%) survived, with an average functioning period of 60 months. Conclusions: Implants can fail repeatedly at the same site due to overloading, infection, and other unspecified reasons. The age and sex of the patient and the location of implant placement seem to be associated with recurring failure. Type of implant, bone augmentation, and bone materials used are less relevant.

PURPOSE. Masticatory loading triggers active bone remodeling, altering alveolar bone mineral density (BMD). While dental implants are placed to bear masticatory loading, their influence on changing bone properties has not been fully investigated. Objective of this pilot study was to examine whether the dental implantation has an effect on BMD distribution of bone by comparing dentate, edentulous, and edentulous patients with implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 19 partially edentulous patients (Dent), 19 edentulous patients (Edent), and 16 edentulous patients who received implants in the mandible (Edent+Im), were obtained. CBCT images were also obtained from 5 patients within Edent+Im group, before implant placement and after implant loading. Basal cortical bone region of the mandible was digitally isolated. A histogram of gray levels proportional to BMD was obtained to assess mean, histogram standard deviation (HSD), fifth percentile of low and high values (Low₅ and High₅) of the BMD distribution. Multivariate analysis of variance and paired t-test were used to compare the BMD parameters among the 3 dental status groups and between pre- and post-implantation, respectively. RESULTS. Edentulous patients with implants had significantly greater HSD and High₅ values compared to edentulous patients (P < .013). All other comparisons were not significant (P > .097). Mean, HSD, and High₅ values significantly increased after receiving implants (P < .022). CONCLUSION. The current findings suggested that receiving dental implants promoted oral bone mineralization for edentulous patients. The longitudinal investigation could provide valuable information on understanding the effects of implantation on the behavior of oral bone quality.

This retrospective study evaluates the clinical performance of the recently introduced $XiVE^{(R)}$ implant(Dentsply-Friadent) with a new macro-design to improve primary stability. A total of 208 $XiVE^{(R)}$ implants (101 in the maxilla and 107 in the mandible) were placed in 71 patients. The average age of the patients was 49 years. Of the 208 implants, 190 (91.3%) were posterior implants and 82 (39.4%) were placed in compromised sites (grafted sites). Clinical and radiographic evaluation were made at second stage surgery for exposure and after functional loading. 192 implants in 64 patients were evaluated at exposure and 146 implants in 50 patients were loaded (average 170 days-loading) and evaluated after functional loading. Of 192 implants available for evaluation before loading, 3 implants failed (early failure) ; 1 before exposure, 1 at exposure and 1 during prosthetic procedure. 2 implants were in the maxilla and 1 was in the mandible. The success rate before loading was 98.4%. After functional loading, no implant failure was occurred in 146 implants evaluated during this period (100% interval success rate). This preliminary data with a new implant showed excellent success rate although the majority of implants evaluated in this study were placed in the posterior region of the jaw and compromised sites.

The dental implants in modern dentistry brought out a new era in everyday dental practice. Increasing of dental implants usage, various failures and complications has occurred. Failures and complications of dental implant treatments that can happen in implant surgery, in mechanical or prosthetic problem and in biological aspect. The aim of this study was to assess implant failures for 6 years as well as find out how to overcome implant failure. In Jeju National University hospital, 26 dental implants in 17 patients were removed by implant failure through 2013.1.1.-2018.12.31. Each implant failure case was analyzed in report form with various informations about failure retrospectively. The present study showed 26 failed dental implants of 17 patients were removed. 13 implants(50%) of 8 patients(47.06%) were failed before functional loading and 13 implants(50%) of 9 patients(52.94%) were failed after functional loading. 11 implants(42.31%) of 7 patients(41.18%) with medical disease were extracted. 6 implants(23.08%) of 5 patients(29.41%) with additive bone graft were failed. We discuss with 26 failed dental implants of 17 patients about their causes, solutions and prevention retrospectively for 6 past years. Precise diagnosis and treatment planning are needed. Medically compromised patients and patients with implants and additive bone grafts should be cautiously treated with high failing possibilities.

Osseointegrated prosthetic auricular reconstruction can be classified as either direct or indirect. In the $Br{\aa}nemark $ system of direct osseointegration, implants are placed into the mastoid process of the temporal bone. In the Epitec system of indirect osseointegration, implants are inserted into a three-dimensional carrier plate that is fixed to the mastoid by means of screws. We experienced forty-four cases using the indirect system and seventeen cases using the direct system. We compared with two systems by complications, such as skin reaction, implant loosening, implant loss. There were no specific differences in the skin reaction around the implants and abutments in relation to age or system used. The degree of skin reaction was different according to the conditions around the implant: in cases of virgin microtia, a skin flap was used to cover the implant, in contrast to grafted skin coverage for failed autogenous reconstruction. In both systems, the skin reaction was more severe and frequent in skin flap than in grafted skin. Loosening of the implant was more frequent in the direct system; however, accidental detachment of the implant from the abutment was more frequent in the indirect system. To reduce complications of skin reaction in osseointegrated prosthetic auricular reconstruction, it is important for soft tissue around implant to immobilize. Therefore, grafted skin is better than skin flap as soft tissue around implant. And immobilization of soft tissue around implant by wound dressing is major facter.

Purpose: This retrospective study aimed to assess the long-term cumulative survival rate of titanium, sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched implants over a 10-year follow-up period and investigate the factors affecting the survival rate and change in marginal bone loss (MBL). Methods: The study included 400 patients who underwent dental implant placement at the Department of Periodontology of Seoul National University Dental Hospital (SNUDH) between 2005 and 2015. Panoramic radiographic images and dental records of patients were collected and examined using Kaplan-Meier analysis, Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, and multiple regression analysis to determine the survival rates and identify any factors related to implant failure and MBL. Results: A total of 782 implants were placed with a follow-up period ranging from 0 to 16 years (mean: 8.21±3.75 years). Overall, 25 implants were lost, resulting in a cumulative survival rate of 96.8%. Comparisons of the research variables regarding cumulative survival rate mostly yielded insignificant results. The mean mesial and distal MBLs were 1.85±2.31 mm and 1.59±2.03 mm, respectively. Factors influencing these values included age, diabetes mellitus (DM), jaw location, implant diameter, bone augmentation surgery, and prosthetic unit. Conclusions: This study found that the implant survival rates at SNUDH fell within the acceptable published criteria. The patients' sex, age, DM status, implant location, implant design, implant size, surgical type, bone augmentation, and prosthetic unit had no discernible influence on long-term implant survival. Sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched implants might offer advantages in terms of implant longevity and consistent clinical outcomes.
