CAD/CAM systems (computer-aided design / computer-aided manufacturing) used for decades in restorative dentistry have its application to implant dentistry. This study aimed to overview CAD/CAM systems used implant dentistry, especially emphasizing custom implant abutments manufacturing. CAD/CAM custom abutments present the advantages of being specific to each patient and providing a better fit than the stock and cast custom abutments. This cutting edge technology of virtual-designed and computer-milled implant abutments will likely replace traditional implant restorative protocols and become the standard for implant dentistry in the foreseeable future.

PURPOSE. This study examined the effects of the abutment types and dynamic loading on the stability of implant prostheses with three types of implant abutments prepared using different fabrication methods by measuring removal torque both before and after dynamic loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Three groups of abutments were produced using different types of fabrication methods; stock abutment, gold cast abutment, and CAD/CAM custom abutment. A customized jig was fabricated to apply the load at $30^{\circ}$ to the long axis. The implant fixtures were fixed to the jig, and connected to the abutments with a 30 Ncm tightening torque. A sine curved dynamic load was applied for $10^5$ cycles between 25 and 250 N at 14 Hz. Removal torque before loading and after loading were evaluated. The SPSS was used for statistical analysis of the results. A Kruskal-Wallis test was performed to compare screw loosening between the abutment systems. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test was performed to compare screw loosening between before and after loading in each group (${\alpha}$=0.05). RESULTS. Removal torque value before loading and after loading was the highest in stock abutment, which was then followed by gold cast abutment and CAD/CAM custom abutment, but there were no significant differences. CONCLUSION. The abutment types did not have a significant influence on short term screw loosening. On the other hand, after $10^5$ cycles dynamic loading, CAD/CAM custom abutment affected the initial screw loosening, but stock abutment and gold cast abutment did not.

PURPOSE. To compare the dimensional accuracy of three impression techniques- a separating foil impression, a custom tray impression, and a stock tray impression. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A machined mandibular complete-arch metal model with special modifications served as a master cast. Three different impression techniques (n = 6 in each group) were performed with addition-cured silicon materials: i) putty-wash technique with a prefabricated metal tray (MET) using putty and regular body, ii) single-phase impression with custom tray (CUS) using regular body material, and iii) two-stage technique with stock metal tray (SEP) using putty with a separating foil and regular body material. All impressions were poured with epoxy resin. Six different distances (four intra-abutment and two inter-abutment distances) were gauged on the metal master model and on the casts with a microscope in combination with calibrated measuring software. The differences of the evaluated distances between the reference and the three test groups were calculated and expressed as mean (${\pm}SD$). Additionally, the 95% confidence intervals were calculated and significant differences between the experimental groups were assumed when confidence intervals did not overlap. RESULTS. Dimensional changes compared to reference values varied between -74.01 and $32.57{\mu}m$ (MET), -78.86 and 30.84 (CUS), and between -92.20 and 30.98 (SEP). For the intra-abutment distances, no significant differences among the experimental groups were detected. CUS showed a significantly higher dimensional accuracy for the inter-abutment distances with -0.02 and -0.08 percentage deviation compared to MET and SEP. CONCLUSION. The separation foil technique is a simple alternative to the custom tray technique for single tooth restorations, while limitations may exist for extended restorations with multiple abutment teeth.

본 연구에서는 주모형으로부터 인상체를 제거한 후 인상용 코핑이 인상체 내에 남아있는 개방형 트레이 인상법의 이용 시, 인상용 코핑의 연결고정에 따른 효과와 인상 채득 시 사용될 수 있는 수종의 트레이가 주모형의 정확성에 미치는 영향에 대해 비교 연구해 보고자 하였다. 자가중합형 트레이 레진으로 제작한 개인 트레이, 플라스틱 금속 복합 트레이 그리고 폴리카보네이트 기성 트레이 등의 3종류의 트레이가 사용되었고, 각 트레이 마다 인상용 코핑의 연결고정 여부에 따라 두 개의 군으로 나누었다. 이렇게 나누어진 총 6개의 군에서 각 실험군당 10개의 시편을 제작하였다. 임플랜트 유사체와 지대주 사이에 발생한 수직오차의 측정에는 1-screw test법을 이용하였다. 1시편 당 총 6부위를 측정하였고, 3회씩 측정하여 동일한 수치를 나타낼 경우에 기록하여 통계 처리하였다. 인상용 코핑의 연결고정 여부와 상관없이 개인 트레이군, 플라스틱 금속 복합 트레이군 그리고 폴리카보네이트 기성 트레이군 사이에 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 하지만 개인 트레이, 플라스틱 금속 복합 트레이 그리고 폴리카보네이트 기성 트레이를 이용하여 인상 채득한 경우 패턴 레진으로 연결고정한 군이 비연결고정 군보다 더 정확한 결과를 보여주었다 (p<0.05).

The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of 3 implant impression methods by using strain gauge. The models used for this study were partially edentulous mandibular acrylic resin casts Model A, with two abutment analogs in #46,47 extraction site, represented two implant parallel to to the adjacent natural tooth. Model B represent an anterior implant parallel to the adjacene natural tooth and a posterior implant exhibiting a 15-degree lingual inclination. Master framework were fabricated on the master model, and 3 strain gauges were attached to a master framwork to determine the passivity of fit of the framework to sample casts made by the three impression techniques. The master framework was attached to each sample cast with gold screws, which were tightened with the torque driver to ensure a consistent toque application of 10 Ncm. Universal Digital Measuring System UCAM-5BT was used for strain measuring. Impression techniques studid were : 1. unsplinted tapered impression coping, polyvinyl siloxane, stock tray 2. unsplinted squared impression coping, polyether, custom tray 3. squared impression coping splinted with Duralay resin, polyether, custom tray Through analysis on data from this study, the following conclusions were obtained. 1. There were no statistically significant differences between the mean strain recorded from the sample casts made with the tree impression. But only strain values of model A(parallel group) Y-axis was signifcantly differed between Technique 1 and 3(P<0.05). 2. There was no statistically significant difference between model A(parallel group) and model B(15-degree divergent group).
