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.

Introduction: This study examined the predictability of new bone formation in the pneumatized maxillary sinus using only fibrin-rich blocks with concentrated growth factors as an alternative to bone grafts. Materials and Methods: Maxillary sinus augmentation was performed in thirty-three patients with a deficient alveolar bone height (mean 3.9 mm). All patients were treated consecutively with sinus membrane elevation via the lateral window approach and panoramic radiograms and cone-beam computed tomograms were taken to evaluate the remaining bone height and the new bone formation in the maxillary sinus, before and after surgery. Four biopsy specimens were taken at the time of implant consolidation (after an average of five months healing) and were stained by H & E and Trichrome staining. Results: None of the patients had postoperative complications during implant consolidation. After an average of 5 months since sinus augmentation, newly formed bone was observed in all cases by a radiographic evaluation. In 4 biopsy samples, newly formed bone was observed along the floor of the replaced bony window. The osteoblast lining and well distinguished Osteocytes in the lacunas were observed in the newly formed bone. Of the 74 implants (4 different surfaced implants - resorbable blast media-surfaced (RBM), Hydroxyapatite (HA) coated, acid-etched, sintered porous-surfaced implant) placed, one RBM implant failed. The success rate was 98.6% after a mean of 15 months. Discussion: These results suggest that maxillary sinus augmentation using fibrin rich block with concentrated growth factors is a successful and predictable technique.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM. A number of studies about the nano-treated surfaces of implants have been conducting along with micro-treated surfaces of implants. PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to get information for the clinical use of nano-treated surfaces compared with micro-treated surfaces by measuring removal torque and analyzing histological characteristics after the placement of various surface-treated implants on femurs of dogs. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Machined surface implants were used as a control group. 4 nano-treated surface implants and 3 micro-treated surface implants [resorbable blast media surface (RBM), sandblast and acid-etched surface (SAE), anodized RBM surface] were used as experimental groups. Removal torque values of implants were measured respectively and the histological analyses were conducted on both 4weeks and 8weeks after implant surgery. The surfaces of removed implants after measuring removal torque values were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at 8 weeks. RESULTS. 1. Removal torque values of the nano-treated groups were lower than those of micro-treated groups. 2. Removal torque values were similar in the anodized RBM surface groups. 3. On the histological views, there was much of bone formation at 8 weeks, but there was no difference between 4 and 8 weeks, and between the types of implant surfaces as well. CONCLUSION. it is suggested that implant topography is more effective in removal torque test than surface chemistry. To get better clinical result, further studies should be fulfilled on the combined effect of surface topography and chemistry for the implant surface treatments.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM. A few of studies which compared and continuously measured the stability of various surface treated implants in the same individual had been performed. PURPOSE. We aim to find the clinical significance of surface treatments by observing the differences in the stabilization stages of implant stability. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Eight different surface topographies of dental implants were especially designed for the present study. Machined surface implants were used as a control group. 4 nano-treated surface implants(20 nm $TiO_2$ coating surface, heat-treated 80 nm $TiO_2$ coating surface, CaP coating surface, heat treated CaP coating surface) and 3 micro-treated surface implants [resorbable blast media(RBM) surface, sandblast and acid-etched(SAE) surface, anodized RBM surface] were used as experiment groups. All 24 implants were placed in 3 adult dogs. $Periotest^{(R)}$ & ISQ values measured for 8 weeks and all animals were sacrificed at 8 weeks after surgery. Then the histological analyses were done. RESULTS. In PTV, all implants were stabilized except 1 failed implants. In ISQ values, The lowest stability was observed at different times for each individual. The ISQ values were showed increased tendency after 5 weeks in every groups. After 4 to 5 weeks, the values were stabilized. There was no statistical correlation between the ISQ values and PTV. In the histological findings, the bone formation was observed to be adequate in general and no differences among the 8 surface treated implants. CONCLUSIONS. In this study, the difference in the stability of the implants was determined not by the differences in the surface treatment but by the individual specificity.

Purpose: Surface alterations of titanium discs following instrumentation with either a nylon brush or a metal brush were evaluated. Methods: A total of 27 titanium discs with 3 surface types (9 discs for each type), including machined (M) surfaces, sandblasted and acid-etched (SA) surfaces, and surfaces treated by resorbable blast media (RBM), were used. Three discs were instrumented with a nylon brush, another 3 discs were instrumented with a metal brush, and the remaining 3 discs were used as controls for each surface type. Surface properties including the arithmetic mean value of a linear profile (Ra), maximum height of a linear profile (Rz), skewness of the assessed linear profile (Rsk), arithmetic mean height of a surface (Sa), maximum height of a surface (Sz), developed interfacial area ratio (Sdr), skewness of a surface profile (Ssk), and kurtosis of a surface profile (Sku) were measured using confocal microscopy. Results: Instrumentation with the nylon brush increased the Ra, Sa, and Sdr of the M surfaces. On the SA surfaces, Ra, Sa and Sdr decreased after nylon brush use. Meanwhile, the roughness of the RBM surface was not affected by the nylon brush. The use of the metal brush also increased the Ra, Sa, and Sdr of the M surface; however, the increase in Sdr was not statistically significant (P=0.119). The decreases in the Rz, Sz, Ra, Sa, and Sdr of the SA surfaces were remarkable. On the RBM surfaces, the use of the metal brush did not cause changes in Ra and Sa, whereas Rz, Sz, and Sdr were reduced. Conclusions: Titanium surfaces were altered when instrumented either with a nylon brush or a metal brush. Hence, it is recommended that nylon or metal brushes be used with caution in order to avoid damaging the implant fixture/abutment surface.

본 논문에서는 순수 티타늄(cp-Ti) 임플란트를 SLA (Sandblasting with Large grit and Acid) 처리할 때 산-처리 용액의 유형, 산-처리 온도 및 산-처리 시간 등이 티타늄 표면에 주는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 원판형의 cp-Ti 시편을 준비하여 표면을 인산칼슘계 세라믹 분말로 RBM (Resorbable Blast Media) 처리하였다. 산-처리 용액으로 염산을 30 vol%로 고정하고 황산의 농도를 10, 20, 30, 35 vol%로 증가시키며 혼합한 용액에 증류수를 추가하여 4종의 산-처리 용액을 준비하였다. 실험군은 4종의 산-처리 용액, 3 종의 처리온도 및 3 종의 처리시간 등 36 가지로 분류하여 실험군당 4개의 시편을 산-처리하였다. 산-처리 전 후 시편 무게를 전자저울로 측정하여 무게 감소비율을 계산하였고, 공초점주사전자현미경으로 표면거칠기를 측정하였다. X-선 회절분석기(XRD)로 XRD 패턴을 측정하였고, 주사전자현미경으로 표면 형상을 관찰하였으며, 에너지 분산형 분석기(EDX)와 광전자분광법(XPS)로 표면성분을 분석하였다. 무게 감소비율과 표면거칠기 측정값은 Tukey-multiple comparison test (p = 0.05)로 통계 분석하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 산-처리에 따른 티타늄 시편의 무게 감소는 황산의 농도 및 산-처리 용액의 온도가 높을수록 유의하게 증가하였다. 산-처리한 티타늄의 표면 거칠기는 산-처리 조건(황산 농도, 온도, 시간)에 일정한 영향을 받지 않았다. XRD 분석에서 산-처리한 모든 시편에서 티타늄(${\alpha}-Ti$)과 수소화 티타늄($TiH_2$) 결정상이 관찰되었고, XPS 분석으로 티타늄 표면에 얇은 n산화 티타늄 층이 형성된 것을 알 수 있었다. $90^{\circ}C$ 산-용액에서 처리할 경우 티타늄 표면이 과도하게 용해될 수 있으므로 주의하여야 한다.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of anodized surface of osseointegration implants by using of resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and histomorphometric analysis. A total of 96 screw-shaped implants were devided into 4 groups. Seventy-two implants were prepared by electrochemical oxidation with 3 different ways; Group 1 (n=24) were prepared at galvanostatic mode in 0.25M sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, Group 2 (n=24) were prepared at galvanostatic mode in calcium glycerophosphate and calcium acetate, and Group 3 (n=24) were prepared at galvanostatic mode in 0.25M sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid followed by Calcium metaphosphate(CMP) coating. Control group (n=24) were the RBM surfaced implants. The implants were placed in the mandibles of 12 mini pigs. Bone tissue responses were evaluated by resonance frequency analysis(RFA) and histomorphometric analysis that were undertaken at 2, 4 and 6weeks after implant placement. The following result were obtained. 1. Twenty-two of 96 implants (4 in control group, 5 in group 1, 7 in group 2, and 6 in group 3) were failed due to faliure of osseoitegration. The failure rate of osseointegration was 22.9%. 2. The mean values of RFA in control, group 2 and groups 3 showed the similar values, but there was no significant difference among groups. 3. Histomorphometric evaluation demonstrated significantly higher bone-to-implant contact ratio in group 2 at 3 and 4 weeks after implant placement than other groups (p<0.05), but there was no significant difference among groups at 6weeks after implant placement.

Purpose: Given the predictability of dental implant procedure from the studies of successful osseointegration, implant dentistry is often the treatment of choice to replace missing teeth in edentulous patient instead of the fixed prosthesis or removable denture. The $Renova^{(R)}$ dental implant has a RBM(Resorbable Blast Media) surface, internal hex prosthetic connection and a tapered design. At this study gives the analysis of the implant and the short term survival rate of the implant. Material and Methods: In this study, a multilateral analysis was performed on the subjects undergoing placement with $Renova^{(R)}$ implant between August 2006 and February 2008 in Yonsei University dental hospital. 96 implants were placed in 56 patients and they were surveyed for cumulative survival rate. Among them 78 implants in 44 patients were surveyed for the rest analyses. Result: 1. The cumulative survival rate was 96.88% of 96 implants in 56 patients. 2. The mean marginal bone loss was 0.803mm and the marginal bone loss in augmentation group has higher value than the marginal bone loss in non augmentation group. 3. The health scale for the implants were 87% in success group, 9% in satisfactory survival group, 1% in compromised survival group, and 3% in failure group. 4. Two implants placed in poor bone posterior area by 2-stage failed during prosthetic procedure. Conclusion: $Renova^{(R)}$ dental implant showed high cumulative survival rate in installation on partial edentulous ridge and could be a predictable implant system.

목적:본 연구에서는 새로 개발된 다이오드 레이저 제품을 이용하여 레이저 파워에 따른 온도변화와 박테리아 멸균 비교실험을 통하여 기존 제품과의 임플란트 주위염치료에 대한 효과를 비교 실험하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 808 nm Diode laser와 810 nm Diode laser를 사용하여 디스크에 레이저를 60초간 조사하였으며, 출력은 1 - 2.5 W로 설정하였다. 온도측정 모듈과 온도측정 프로그램을 이용하여 disc 표면온도변화를 측정하였다. 또한, SLA, RBM이 코팅된 disc에 bacteria 도포 후, 808 nm Diode laser를 30초간 조사하였으며, 출력은 0.5 - 3 W로 설정하였다. 결과: 808 nm, 810 nm 두 장치 모두 출력이 증가함에 따라 온도 상승폭은 증가하였다. 모든 조건에서 810 nm laser를 조사하였을 때 초기온도상승속도, 하강속도 및 전후의 온도변화량은 808 nm laser 보다 높았다. 레이저 조사 후 티타늄 디스크 표면의 변화는 두 레이저 모두에서 관찰되지 않았다. Bacteria가 도포된 디스크에 808 nm laser를 조사한 결과, 출력이 증가 함에 따라 살균효과가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 결론: Diode laser를 임상에 적용하는 경우, 동일한 출력에서 온도의 변동폭이 적고 최대 상승온도가 낮은 808 nm laser가 환자에 안전할 것으로 사료된다. 하지만 실제로 임상에 적용하기 위해서는 보다 다양한 안전성평가를 실시하여 장비에 대한 신뢰성을 확보하여야 할 것이다.
