Objective: To evaluate the ratio between bone-contact length and inter-segmental length of the rigid fixation screw used in bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) for mandibular setback. Material and Methods: Records of 40 patients with Class III malocclusion were selected. 20 of them had BSSRO, while the other 20 had BSSRO with maxillary LeFort I osteotomy. All of the patients had three noncompressive bicortical screws inserted at the gonial angle through transcutaneous approach. Two screws were inserted antero-posteriorly above inferior alveolar nerve and one screw was inserted below. The lengths of bone-contact and that of inter-segmental part were measured using cone-beam computed tomography. Ratio between these two measured lengths was calculated. Results: Both bone-contact and inter-segmental lengths were longer in BSSRO group than in BSSRO with maxillary LeFort I osteotomy group. Ratio of bone-contact to inter-segmental length was lower in BSSRO group than in BSSRO with Lefort I group. Both bone-contact and inter-segmental lengths were longer at the antero-superior position than at the inferior position. However, their ratio showed little difference. Conclusion: This study suggest that stability of screws in BSSRO group was greater than in BSSRO with Lefort I group. Stability of screws at the antero-superior position was greater than at the inferior position. Ratio of bone-contact to inter-segmental lengths was 0.2 in average.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the oxide layer removal process in the Co-Cr-Mo (CCM) abutment after casting procedure on the prosthesis settlement and screw stability. MATERIALS AND METHODS: CCM abutments of four different interface conditions (CCM-M; machined, CCM-O; oxide layer formed, CCM-B; blasted, CCM-P; polished after blasted) and gold abutment (Gold-C; Cast with type III Gold alloy) were used. The initial settling values of abutments were evaluated according to the difference of implant-abutment length when the tightening torques were applied at 5 Ncm and 30 Ncm, and the settling values of abutments caused by loading were evaluated according to the difference of implant-abutment length before and after loading with 250 N, 100000 cycle. The loss ratios of removal torque for abutment screws were evaluated according to the difference in value of removal torques under 30 Ncm tightening torque applied before and after cyclic loading. RESULTS: The CCM-P and CCM-B group showed a higher initial settling value compared with the Gold-C group (P<.05), while the Gold-C group showed the highest settling values caused by loading (P<.05) and no significant differences were observed for between CCM groups (P>.05). The loss ratio of removal torque values for the CCM-B, CCM-P groups did not differ significantly from that of the Gold-C group (P>.05). CONCLUSION: Even though the oxide layer was removed by different methods, CCM abutment with internal conical connection structure showed lower abutment settling and similar screw loosening after cyclic loading compared with gold abutment.

In cold-formed steel (CFS) structures, such as trusses, transmission towers and portal frames, the use of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections are becoming increasingly popular. In such an arrangement, intermediate welds or screw fasteners are required at discrete points along the length, preventing the angle sections from buckling independently. Limited research is available in the literature on axial strength of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections. The issue is addressed herein. This paper presents an experimental investigation reported by the authors on back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections with intermediate stiffeners under axial compression. The load-axial shortening behaviour along with the deformed shapes at failure are reported. A nonlinear finite element (FE) model was then developed, which includes material non-linearity, geometric imperfections and modelling of intermediate fasteners. The FE model was validated against the experimental test results, which showed good agreement, both in terms of failure loads and deformed shapes at failure. The validated finite element model was then used for the purpose of a parametric study comprising 96 models to investigate the effect of longer to shorter leg ratios, stiffener provided in the longer leg, thicknesses and lengths on axial strength of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections. Four different thicknesses and seven different lengths (stub to slender columns) with three overall widths to the overall depth (B/D) ratios were investigated in the parametric study. Axial strengths obtained from the experimental tests and FE analyses were used to assess the performance of the current design guidelines as per the Direct Strength Method (DSM); obtained comparisons show that the current DSM is conservative by only 7% and 5% on average, while predicting the axial strengths of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections with and without the stiffener, respectively.

Several experimental studies showed that the application of small amounts of electric current to bone stimulated osteogenesis at the site of the cathode and suggested that electrical currents promote osseointegration around dental implants. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of direct microcurrent to endosseous titanium implants placed in bone defects. The right and left 2nd, 3rd and 4th mandibular premolars in ten mongrel dogs (15Kg of weight) were extracted. One monthe later, Ti-machined screw type implants(3.8 mm diameter x 8.5 mm length, $AVANA^{(R)}$, Ostem) were placed in surgically created circumferential defect area(width 5mm, depth 4mm). The implants were divided into three groups according to the treatment modalities: Control group- implants without electrical stimulation; Experimental group I- implants with allogenic demineralized freeze dried bone grafting; and Experimental group II-implants allogenic demineralized freeze dried bone grafting and electric stimulation. The animals were sacrificed in the 4th and 8th week after implant placement and un-decalcified specimens were prepared for histological and histometrical evaluation of bone-implant contact ratio (BIC) and bone formation area ratio (BFA) in defect area. Some specimens at 8 weeks after implantation were used for removal torque testing. Histologically, there was connective tissue infiltration in the coronal part of defect area in control and the experimental group I, whereas direct bone contact was found in the experimental group II without connective tissue invasion. Average BIC ratios at 4 weeks of healing were 60.1% in the experimental group II, 47.4% in the experimental group I and 42.7% in the control. Average BIC ratios at 8 weeks after implantation were 67.6% in the experimental group II, 55.9% in the experimental group I and 54.6% in the control. The average BFA ratio was 84.0% in the experimental group II, 71.8% in the experimental group I and 58.8% in the control at 4 weeks, and the BFA ratios were 89.6% in the experimental group II, 81.4% in the experimental group I and 70.5% in the control at 8 weeks after implantation. The experimental group II showed also significantly greater BIC and BFA ratios compared to the control and the experimental group I (p<0.05). The removal torque values at 8 weeks after implantation were 56 Ncm in the experimental group II, 49 Ncm in the experimental group I and 43 Ncm in the control. There was a statistically significant difference among 3 groups (p<0.05). These results suggest that electrical stimulation improve and accelerate bone healing around endosseous titanium implants in bone defect.

연구목적: 본 연구는 machined 임플란트와 골유도능이 있는 calcium phosphate를 electron-beam deposition으로 coating처리한 임플란트의 골/임플란트 접촉률을 조직형태계측학적으로 비교하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법:여섯 마리의 수컷 New Zealand white rabbit과직경3.3 mm, 길이 5 mm의 임플란트 24개를 준비하였다. Machined 임플란트 (대조군)와 calcium phosphate coated 임플란트(실험군)를 좌, 우 경골에 2개씩 총 4개를 식립하고 임플란트 주위에 부하가 가해지지 않도록 하여 3주, 6주의 치유기간을 두었다. 식립 3주와 6주후, 각각 3마리의 토끼를 희생하여 조직시편을 제작하였다. 제작된 시편을 광학현미경 하에서 골/임플란트 접촉률 (BIC ratio)을 계산하고 paired t-test로 두 군을 비교하였다. 결과:골/임플란트 접촉률은 임플란트 식립 3주후, 대조군에서 평균과 표준편차는$44.1{\pm}16.5%$ 이었고 실험군은 $70.8{\pm}18.9%$로 실험군이 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다 (P= 0.0264). 6주후의경우, machined 임플란트는 $78.6{\pm}15.1%$, calcium phosphate coated 임플란트는 $79.0{\pm}26.0%$로 두 군 간 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결론: Calcium phosphate coated 임플란트는 machined 티타늄 임플란트에 비해 빠른 초기 골반응을 나타냈다. 그러므로, 임상적으로 calcium phosphate coated 임플란트를 사용했을 때, 수술 후 치유 기간을 단축하여 조기 부하가 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
