STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Implant-supported fixed cantilever prostheses are influenced by various biomechanical factors. The information that shows the effect of implant number and position of cantilever on stress in the supporting bone is limited. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of implant number variation and the effect of 2 different cantilever types on stress distribution in the supporting bone, using 3-dimensional finite element analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A 3-D FE model of a mandibular section of bone with a missing second premolar, first molar, and second molar was developed. $4.1{\times}10$ mm screw-type dental implant was selected. 4.0 mm height solid abutments were fixed over all implant fixtures. Type III gold alloy was selected for implant-supported fixed prostheses. For mesial cantilever test, model 1-1 which has three $4.1{\times}10$ mm implants and fixed prosthesis with no pontic, model 1-2 which has two $4.1{\times}10$ mm implants and fixed prosthesis with a central pontic and model 1-3 which has two $4.1{\times}10$ mm implants and fixed prosthesis with mesial cantilever were simulated. And then, 155N oblique force was applied to the buccal cusp of second premolar. For distal cantilever test, model 2-1 which has three $4.1{\times}10$ mm implants and fixed prosthesis with no pontic, model 2-2 which has two $4.1{\times}10$ mm implants and fixed prosthesis with a central pontic and model 2-3 which has two $4.1{\times}10$ mm implants and fixed prosthesis with distal cantilever were simulated. And then, 206N oblique force was applied to the buccal cusp of second premolar. The implant and superstructure were simulated in finite element software(Pro/Engineer wildfire 2.0). The stress values were observed with the maximum von Mises stresses. RESULTS: Among the models without a cantilever, model 1-1 and 2-1 which had three implants, showed lower stress than model 1-2 and 2-2 which had two implants. Although model 2-1 was applied with 206N, it showed lower stress than model 1-2 which was applied with 155N. In models that implant positions of models were same, the amount of applied occlusal load largely influenced the maximum von Mises stress. Model 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3, which were loaded with 155N, showed less stress than corresponding model 2-1, 2-2 and 2- 3 which were loaded with 206N. For the same number of implants, the existence of a cantilever induced the obvious increase of maximum stress. Model 1-3 and 2-3 which had a cantilever, showed much higher stress than the others which had no cantilever. In all models, the von Mises stresses were concentrated at the cortical bone around the cervical region of the implants. Meanwhile, in model 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3, which were loaded on second premolar position, the first premolar participated in stress distribution. First premolars of model 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3 did not participate in stress distribution. CONCLUSION: 1. The more implants supported, the less stress was induced, regardless of applied occlusal loads. 2. The maximum von Mises stress in the bone of the implant-supported three unit fixed dental prosthesis with a mesial cantilever was 1.38 times that with a central pontic. The maximum von Mises stress in the bone of the implant-supported three-unit fixed dental prosthesis with a distal cantilever was 1.59 times that with a central pontic. 3. A distal cantilever induced larger stress in the bone than a mesial cantilever. 4. A adjacent tooth which contacts implant-supported fixed prosthesis participated in the stress distribution.

연구목적: 최근 임플란트 상부보철물의 주재료로서 티타늄의 수요가 증가하고 있고, 급속도로 발전하고 있는 CAD/CAM (computer - aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) 기술이 접목되어 티타늄을 절삭하여 제작하는 방법이 주목을 받고 있으며 치과 임상에서 점점 그 영역이 넓어지고 있다. 다만, 하나의 티타늄괴를 절삭하여 만드는 방법의 특성상 기계적 유지력을 얻을 수 있는 비드 등을 형성할 수 없고, 통상적인 재료인 금 합금이나 도재용 합금 주조체에 비해 도재와의 결합력도 떨어지는 것이 보완해야 할 점으로 지적되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 절삭형 티타늄을 이용한 보철물 제작에 많이 사용되고 있는 열중합 의치상 레진, 간접 복합 레진, 도재와 Grade II 순수 티타늄 사이의 결합 강도를 비교 평가해 보고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 지름 9 mm, 높이 10 mm의 Grade II 순수 티타늄 원통형 시편 37개를 3군으로 나누어 각각 직경 7 mm, 높이 1 mm의 열중합 의치상 레진 (Lucitone 199, DENTSPLY Trubyte, York, USA), 간접 복합 레진 (Sinfony, 3M ESPE, Seefeld, Germany), 도재 (Triceram, Dentaurum, Ispringen, Germany)와 결합시켰다. 시편은 $5-55^{\circ}C$에서 1000회 열순환 처리 후, 범용 시험기 (Instron, Universal Testing Machine, Model 4465, USA)를 이용하여 1 mm/min의 속도로 하중을 가하여 전단결합강도를 측정하였다. 파절된 단면의 양상을 관찰하고 각 군별 파절양상을 조사하였다. 측정값은 one-way ANOVA와 Scheffe's multiple range test (${\alpha}=0.05$)로 분석하였다. 결과: 열중합 의치상 레진인 Lucitone 199 ($17.82{\pm}5.13\;MPa$)의 결합 강도가 가장 높았으며, 도재인 Triceram ($12.97{\pm}2.11\;MPa$), 복합레진인 Sinfony ($6.00{\pm}1.31\;MPa$) 순으로 감소하였다. Lucitone 199와 Sinfony 군의 파절 양상은 대부분이 부착성 파절인 데에 반해 Triceram 군에서는 복합성 파절이 많았다. 결론: CAD/CAM을 이용한 절삭형 티타늄 구조물 상방에 전장용 심미 재료로는 열중합형 의치상 레진이 가장 강한 결합 강도를 보인다. 기존의 주조체의 유지구 등에서 얻는 강도에 비해 약하고, 부착성 파절이 많은 점 등은 향후 이들 재료와 티타늄간의 결합력을 높이기 위한 보다 많은 연구가 이루어져야 할 것을 시사한다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the stress distribution at supporting bone according to the types of connection modality between implant and tooth in the superstrcture. This investigation evaluated the stress patterns in a photoelastic model produced by three different types of dental implants such as Branemark, Steri-Oss, IMZ and resin tooth using the techniques of quasi three dimensional photoelasticity. The teeth-supported bridge had a first molar pontic supported by second premolar and second molar as a control group. The implant and toothsupported bridge had a first molar pontic supported by second premolar and implant posterior retainer as an experimental group. Prostheses were mechanically connected to an adjacent second premolar by the rigid of nonrigid connection, Nonrigid connection used an attachment placed between the tooth-supported and fixture-supported component. The female(keyway) of attachment was placed on the distal end of the retainer supported by the tooth ; the male(Key) of attachment connected to the osseointegrated bridge was engaged into the keyway. All prostheses were casted in the same nonprecious alloy and were cemented and screwed on their respective abutments and implants. 16㎏ of vertical loads on central fossae of second premolar, first molar pontic, implant of second molar were applied respectively and 6.5㎏ of inclined load on middle buccal surface of first molar pontic was applied. The results were as follows : 1. Under the vertical load on the central fossa of first mloar pontic, the stress developed at the apex of tooth of implat was more uniformly distributed in the case of nonrigid connection than in the case of rigid connection. 2. Under the vertical load on the central fossa of first molar pontic, the stress developed around the cervical area of tooth of implant was larger in the case of rigid connection than in the case of nonrigid connection because the bending moment was more occured in the case of rigid connection than in the case of nonrigid connection. 3. Stress was more restricted to the loaded side of nonrigid connection than to that of rigid connection 4. Under the inclined load. The set screw loosening of implant was more easily occured in the case of nonrigid connection than in the case of rigid connection due to torque moment. 5. In the case of Branemark implant, the stress concentration in second premolar was larger and the stress developed around the cervical area of implant was lower than any other cases under the vertical load, because Branemark implant with the flexible gold screw was showed in incline toward second premolar by a bending moment. 6. The stress developed around the apex of tooth or implant was more uniformly distributed in the case of Steri-Oss implant with stiff screw than in the case of Branemark implant under the vertical load. But, the stress developed around the cervical area of the Steri-Oss implant was larger than that of any other implants because bending moment was occured by vertical migration of second premolar. 7. The stress distribution in the case of IMZ implant was similar to the case of natural teeth under small vertical load. But, the residual stress around the implant was showed to occurdue to deformation of IMC and sinking of screw under larger vertical load.
