Purpose: This study examined the prevalence and risk factors of peri-implant disease after at least 7 years of dental implant loading. Methods: A total of 111 patients with 218 dental implants were treated. The follow-up period for all implants was at least 7 years. The patients' dental records were collected and risk factors of peri-implant disease were investigated through logistic regression analysis. Results: The overall implant survival rate was 95.87%, because 9 of the 218 implants failed. The prevalence of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis was 39.7% and 16.7%, respectively. As risk factors, smoking and prosthetic splinting showed significant associations with peri-implantitis (P<0.05). Conclusions: Within the limits of this study, no significant correlations were found between any risk factors and peri-implant mucositis, but a significantly elevated risk of peri-implantitis was observed in patients who smoked or had splinted prostheses in 2 or more implants.

In this study, an investigation was made on bristles for the prosthetic and periodontally involved patients based on the previous studies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ideal location and dimensions of bristles for the patients who were installed with fixed prostheses and severely involved periodontitis. 3D scanner was used to develop 3D visual models of bristles and teeth. These models were developed to be used for designing the ideal bristles for the prosthetic and periodontally involved patients. For the ideal design of bristle, interproximal area of dental arch and bristle must get into maximum and standard teeth may have to be chosen from many gypsum molds. During the design process the factors should be considered that influence the removal of plaque by bristle.

Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the status of hazard communication regarding dental materials among dental hygienists in the Daegu Metropolitan City and the North Gyeongsang-do Province area. Materials: A total of 310 dental hygienists were surveyed using self-administered questionnaires to investigate the status of hazard communication on dental materials and information needs. We collected instructions for use and material safety data sheets(MSDSs) for 67 dental materials frequently used at dental hospitals located in the Daegu Metropolitan City and the North Gyeongsang-do Province area. Results: The questionnaire surveys showed that only 11% of the 310 dental hygienists had knowledge of MSDS and 46.8% of respondents never read instructions for use before using materials. Just 7.4% of dental hygienists have undergone training on hazard information for dental materials. In particular, dental hygienists working at dental clinics had significantly lower response rates on knowledge of MSDS(p<0.001), reading of instructions for use(p=0.042) and training on the hazard information of dental materials(p=0.004) than those in dental hospitals or general hospitals. The essential information most desired by dental hygienists was hazard identification(82.3%) followed by first-aid measures(53.9%), handling and storage(51%), disposal considerations (49%) and toxicological information(47.1%). All dental materials were on foreign products which came from Japan(59.7%), the USA(26.9%) and Liechtenstein(13.7%). In terms of usage, 56.7% of dental materials were prosthetic, followed by conservation(31.3%), orthodontics(9%), and prevention(3%). We found that dental hygienists had accessed MSDSs for only five dental products among the 67 dental materials. The instructions for the use of the 67 dental materials provided hazard identification(64.2%), first-aid measures(83.6%), handling and storage(97%), disposal considerations(20.9%) and toxicological information(26.9%). Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, the hazard communication system for dental hygienists working at dental clinics should be improved.

PURPOSE. To assess removable prosthetic restoration tolerance according to the patient section of the short form of the Gagging Problem Assessment Questionnaire (GPA-pa SF) and the influence of gender, education level and prosthesis type and denture-related mucosal irritation on the GPA-pa SF scores before treatment and over a period of two months after prosthesis insertion. MATERIALS AND METHODS. 130 participants who required removable prosthesis were surveyed with a standard form that included questions regarding age, gender, education level, dental attendance, and prosthetic restoration type. Participants answered the GPA-pa SF before restoration (T0) and 1 day (T1), 2 days (T2), 15 days (T3), 1 month (T4), and 2 months (T5) after prosthesis insertion. RESULTS. Of the 130 participants, 110 participants completed the prosthetic restoration procedure, but only 93 of these were able to use the prosthesis over the two-month period. The mean GPA-pa SF score obtained at T0 was higher than the scores obtained at the other periods in the total of the sample. Significant difference was present between mean scores obtained at T0-T1 and T2-T3 than scores obtained at other periods (P<.05). Female participants and participants with denture-related mucosal irritation had higher GPA-pa SF scores at all time points analysed. Significant difference was present between mean GPA-pa SF scores obtained at T2-T3 than scores obtained at other periods for females and participants with denture-related mucosal irritation (P<.05). Education level and prosthesis type did not significantly influence the GPA-pa SF score at any time point analysed (P>.05). CONCLUSION. GPA-pa SF scores were higher before the restoration procedure began, and decreased over time with the use of prosthesis. Gender and denture-related mucosal irritation affected the GPA-pa SF scores.

PURPOSE. The success of an implant-prosthetic rehabilitation is influenced by good implant health and an excellent implant-prosthetic coupling. The stability of implant-prosthetic connection is influenced by the rotational tolerance between anti-rotational features on the implant and those on the prosthetic component. The aim of this study is to investigate the rotational tolerance of a conical connection implant system and its titanium abutment counterpart, in various conditions. MATERIAL AND METHODS. 10 preparable titanium abutments, having zero-degree angulation (MegaGen, Daegu, Korea) with an internal 5-degree conical connection, and 10 implants (MegaGen, Daegu, Korea) were used. Rotational tolerance between the connection of implant and titanium abutments was measured through the use of a tridimensional optics measuring system (Quick Scope QS250Z, Mitutoyo, Kawasaki, Japan) in the as-received condition (Time 0), after securing with a titanium screw tightening at 35 Ncm (Time 1), after tightening 4 times at 35 Ncm (Time 2), after tightening one more time at 45 Ncm (Time 3), and after tightening another 4 times at 45 Ncm (Time 4). RESULTS. The group "Time 0" had the lowest values of rotational freedom (0.22 ± 0.76 degrees), followed by the group Time 1 (0.46 ± 0.83 degrees), the group Time 2 (1.01 ± 0.20 degrees), the group Time 3 (1.30 ± 0.85 degrees), and the group Time 4 (1.49 ± 0.17 degrees). CONCLUSION. The rotational tolerance of a conical connection is low in the "as received" condition but increases with repetitive tightening and with application of a torque greater than 35 Ncm.
