Oral implants must fulfill certain criteria arising from special demands of function, which include biocompatibility, adequate mechanical strength, optimum soft and hard tissue integration, and transmission of functional forces to bone within physiological limits. And one of the critical elements influencing the long-term uncompromise functioning of oral implants is load distribution at the implant- bone interface, Factors that affect the load transfer at the bone-implant interface include the type of loading, material properties of the implant and prosthesis, implant geometry, surface structure, quality and quantity of the surrounding bone, and nature of the bone-implant interface. To understand the biomechanical behavior of dental implants, validation of stress and strain measurements is required. The finite element analysis (FEA) has been applied to the dental implant field to predict stress distribution patterns in the implant-bone interface by comparison of various implant designs. This method offers the advantage of solving complex structural problems by dividing them into smaller and simpler interrelated sections by using mathematical techniques. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stresses induced around the implants in bone using FEA, A 3D FEA computer software (SOLIDWORKS 2004, DASSO SYSTEM, France) was used for the analysis of clinical simulations. Two types (external and internal) of implants of 4.1 mm diameter, 12.0 mm length were buried in 4 types of bone modeled. Vertical and oblique forces of lOON were applied on the center of the abutment, and the values of von Mises equivalent stress at the implant-bone interface were computed. The results showed that von Mises stresses at the marginal. bone were higher under oblique load than under vertical load, and the stresses were higher at the lingual marginal bone than at the buccal marginal bone under oblique load. Under vertical and oblique load, the stress in type I, II, III bone was found to be the highest at the marginal bone and the lowest at the bone around apical portions of implant. Higher stresses occurred at the top of the crestal region and lower stresses occurred near the tip of the implant with greater thickness of the cortical shell while high stresses surrounded the fixture apex for type N. The stresses in the crestal region were higher in Model 2 than in Model 1, the stresses near the tip of the implant were higher in Model 1 than Model 2, and Model 2 showed more effective stress distribution than Model.

Purpose: Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP), a widely used biomaterial for bone regeneration, contains synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), the ratio of which can be adjusted to modulate the rate of degradation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic benefits of reconstructing peri-implant bone defects with a newly developed BCP consisting of 60% β-TCP and 40% HA compared to demineralized bovine bone mineral (DBBM). Methods: This prospective, multicenter, parallel, single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted at the periodontology departments of 3 different dental hospitals. Changes in clinical (defect width and height) and radiographic (augmented horizontal bone thickness) parameters were measured between implant surgery with guided bone regeneration (GBR) and re-entry surgery. Postoperative discomfort (severity and duration of pain and swelling) and early soft-tissue wound healing (dehiscence and inflammation) were also assessed. Data were compared between the BCP (test) and DBBM (control) groups using the independent t-test and the χ² test. Results: Of the 53 cases included, 27 were in the test group and 26 were in the control group. After a healing period of 18 weeks, the full and mean resolution of buccal dehiscence defects were 59.3% (n=16) and 71.3% in the test group and 42.3% (n=11) and 57.9% in the control group, respectively. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of the change in mean horizontal bone augmentation (test group: -0.50±0.66 mm vs. control groups: -0.66±0.83 mm, P=0.133), postoperative discomfort, or early wound healing. No adverse or fatal complications occurred in either group. Conclusions: The GBR procedure with the newly developed BCP showed favorable clinical, radiographic, postoperative discomfort-related, and early wound healing outcomes for peri-implant dehiscence defects that were similar to those for DBBM.

목 적: 광자선을 이용한 피부암 치료 시 피부 선량의 충족과 환자 셋업의 재현성 유지는 치료의 성과에 있어서 무엇보다 중요한 요소이다. 이에 본 연구는 기존에 시행해 오던 방식이었던 상품화된 고정기구 및 조직 등가물질의 조합에 의한 치료 방식이나 물 수조를 이용한 치료 시 발생하던 단점들을 보완하기 위해 Foxtail Millet Vacuum Cushion (FMVC)의 자체 제작을 실시하고 그 유용성을 검증하여 광자선 피부암 치료의 질을 높이고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 자체 제작한 FMVC의 광자선 투과도에 따른 절대 선량 및 선량 분포를 분석하기 위해 조직과 밀도가 유사한 고체 팬톰과 볼루스에 대해 비교 측정하였다. 조사야 $10{\times}10$ cm에서 각 대상 물질의 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm 두께별로 6 MV 광자선 100 MU를 각각 3회씩 조사하였고, 중심점에 대한 절대 선량 측정을 실시하였으며, Mapcheck을 사용해 조사야 내의 선량 분포를 비교하였다. 선량 분포 비교의 오차범위는 ${\pm}3%$로 정하고 합격, 불합격 여부를 결정하여 FMVC와 비교 분석하였고, FMVC를 사용하여 CT 모의치료를 실시하여 종양용적(Gross Tumor Volume, GTV)에 대한 계획 선량 목표를 $100{\pm}5$%로 하여 방사선 치료 계획을 실시해 그 결과를 분석하였다. 결 과: 중심선에서 측정된 FMVC의 절대선량 평균값은 실험에 사용된 모든 두께에서 고체 팬톰과 볼루스에 대해 0.1~0.2% 내외의 차이를 보여 거의 일치함을 보였고, 선량 분포 역시 모든 두께에서 오차 범위 ${\pm}3%$에 대해 97% 이상 일치하였다. 또한 FMVC를 이용한 방사선 치료 계획 및 임상 적용에서 목표한 피부 선량 획득하였다. 결 론: FMVC는 기존 상용화된 조직 등가 물질과 광자선 투과도에 따른 절대 선량 및 선량 분포가 거의 동일하여 그 역할을 대체함에 있어 부족한 점이 없었다. FMVC는 방사선 치료 계획에서 원하는 피부 선량을 얻어낼 수 있고 기존 보조 기구의 기능을 유지할 수 있어 환자 자세의 재현성 유지와 볼루스의 역할을 동시에 수행할 수 있다. 또한 기존 수조를 통한 치료 방식의 단점인 물 엎질러짐으로 인한 장비 위해 가능성을 줄이고, 몸이 자유롭지 않은 환자의 치료 시 자세와 Gantry angle을 다양하게 구현할 수 있다. 따라서 FMVC는 광자선 피부암 치료 시 매우 유용할 것으로 사료된다.
