Background: Absorbable plates are widely used in open reduction and internal fixation surgeries for facial bone fractures. Absorbable plates are made of polyglycolic acid (PGA), polylactic acid (PLA), polydioxane (PDS), or various combinations of these polymers. The degradation patterns of absorbable plates made from different polymers and clinical courses of patients treated with such plates have not been fully identified. This study aimed to confirm the clinical courses of facial bone fracture patients using absorbable plates and compare the degradation patterns of the plates. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted for 47 cases in 46 patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation surgery using absorbable plates to repair facial bone fractures. All surgeries used either PLA/PGA composite-based or poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)/hydroxyapatite (HA) composite-based absorbable plates and screws. Clinical courses were confirmed and comparisons were conducted based on direct observation. Results: There were no naturally occurring foreign body reactions. Post-traumatic inflammatory responses occurred in eight patients (nine cases), in which six recovered naturally with conservative treatment. The absorbable plates were removed from two patients. PLA/PGA compositebased absorbable plates degraded into fragments with non-uniform, sharp surfaces whereas PLLA/HA composite-based absorbable plates degraded into a soft powder. Conclusion: PLA/PGA composite-based and PLLA/HA composite-based absorbable plates showed no naturally occurring foreign body reactions and showed different degradation patterns. The absorbable plate used for facial bone fracture surgery needs to be selected in consideration of its degradation patterns.

Purpose: This study evaluated the efficacy of treating periodontitis using subgingival nano-hydroxyapatite powder with an air abrasion device (NHAPA) combined with scaling and root planing (SRP). Methods: A total of 28 patients with stage III periodontitis (grade B) were included in this study, although 1 was lost during follow-up and 3 used antibiotics. The patients were divided into a test group and a control group. All patients first received whole-mouth SRP using hand instruments, and a split-mouth approach was used for the second treatment. In the test group, the teeth were treated with NHAPA for 15 seconds at 70% power per pocket. Subgingival plaque samples were obtained from the 2 deepest pockets at the test and control sites before treatment (baseline) and 3 months after treatment. The full-mouth plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), papillary bleeding index (PBI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded at baseline and at 1- and 3-month post-treatment. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the colonisation of Treponema denticola (Td), Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in the subgingival plaque. Results: From baseline to the first month, the test group showed significantly larger changes in BOP and CAL (43.705%±27.495% and 1.160±0.747 mm, respectively) than the control group (36.311%±27.599% and 0.947±0.635 mm, respectively). Periodontal parameters had improved in both groups at 3 months. The reductions of PI, GI, BOP, PD, and CAL in the test group at 3 months were greater and statistically significant. The total bacterial count and Td and Pg species had decreased significantly by the third month in both groups (P<0.05). Conclusions: Applying NHAPA in addition to SRP improves clinical periodontal parameters more than SRP alone. Subgingival NHAPA may encourage clot adhesion to tooth surfaces by increasing surface wettability.

목적: RBM 표면처리한 티타늄 임플란트와 RBM 표면처리 후 saline에 적신 티타늄 임플란트에서 saline에 적신 경우 초기 골유착에 미치는 영향을 제거회전력 및 표면분석을 통해서 알아보고자 한다. 재료 및 방법: 대조군은 RBM 표면처리된 임플란트(이하 RBM)이고, 실험군은 RBM 표면처리 후 saline에 2주간 적신 임플란트(이하 RBM + Sal)이다. 토끼 10마리의 좌우측 경골에 각각 대조군 및 실험군 임플란트를 식립하고, 동시에 식립회전력(ITQ)을 측정한다. 10일 후 임플란트 식립부위를 노출시켜 제거회전력(RTQ)를 측정한다. 실험에 사용된 임플란트 시편의 표면분석을 위해 FE-SEM, EDS, 표면거칠기, Raman 분광분석을 시행하였다. 결과: RBM 표면처리한 티타늄 임플란트와 RBM 표면처리 후 saline에 적신 티타늄 임플란트 사이에 식립회전력 및 제거회전력은 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결론: RBM 표면처리 후 saline에 적신 티타늄 임플란트는 RBM 표면처리만 한 티타늄 임플란트보다 초기 골유착에 긍정적인 영향을 미치지 않았다.

Purpose: Recently, interest in chitosan has increased due to its excellent biological properties such as biocompatibility, antibacterial effect, and rapid healing capacity. On the other hand, hydroxyapatite is used as a bone substitute in the fields of orthopedics and dentistry. The hydroxyapatite-chitosan (HA-CS) complex containing hydroxyapatite nanoparticles was developed for synergy of both biomaterials. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of hydroxyapatite (HA)-chitosan (CS) membrane on bone regeneration in the rat calvarial defect. Methods: Eight-millimeter critical-sized calvarial defects were created in 70 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The animals were divided into 7 groups of 10 animals and received either 1) chitosan (CS) 100% membrane, 2) hydroxyapatite (HA) 30%/CS 70% membrane, 3) HA 30%/CS 70%, pressed membrane, 4) HA 40%/CS 60% membrane, 5) HA 50%/CS 50% membrane, 6) HA 50%/CS 50%, pressed membrane, or 7) a sham . surgery control. The amount of newly formed bone from the surface of the rat calvarial defects was measured using histomorphometry, following 2- or 8- week healing intervals. Results: Surgical implantation of the HA - CS membrane resulted in enhanced local bone formation at both 2 and 8 weeks compared to the control group. The HA - CS membrane would be significantly more effective than the chitosan membrane in early bone formation. Conclusions: Concerning the advantages of biomaterials, the HA-CS membrane would be an effective biomaterial for regeneration of periodontal bone. Further studies will be required to improve the mechanical properties to develop a more rigid scaffold for the HA-CS membrane.

Purpose: This study evaluated the surface characteristics and bond strength produced using a novel technique for coating hydroxyapatite (HA) onto titanium implants. Methods: HA was coated on the titanium implant surface using a super-high-speed (SHS) blasting method with highly purified HA. The coating was performed at a low temperature, unlike conventional HA coating methods. Coating thickness was measured. The novel HA-coated disc was fabricated. X-ray diffraction analysis was performed directly on the disc to evaluate crystallinity. Four novel HA-coated discs and four resorbable blast medium (RBM) discs were prepared. Their surface roughnesses and areas were measured. Five puretitanium, RBM-treated, and novel HA-coated discs were prepared. Contact angle was measured. Two-way analysis of variance and the post-hoc Scheffe's test were used to analyze differences between the groups, with those with a probability of P<0.05 considered to be statistically significant. To evaluate exfoliation of the coating layer, 7 sites on the mandibles from 7 mongrel dogs were used. Other sites were used for another research project. In total, seven novel HA-coated implants were placed 2 months after extraction of premolars according to the manufacturer's instructions. The dogs were sacrificed 8 weeks after implant surgery. Implants were removed using a ratchet driver. The surface of the retrieved implants was evaluated microscopically. Results: A uniform HA coating layer was formed on the titanium implants with no deformation of the RBM titanium surface microtexture when an SHS blasting method was used. Conclusions: These HA-coated implants exhibited increased roughness, crystallinity, and wettability when compared with RBM implants.

목적: Resorbable blasting media (RBM) 표면처리 후 산처리한 티타늄 임플란트와 동일한 표면처리 후 생리식염수에 적신 티타늄 임플란트에서 생리식염수에 적신 경우 초기 골유착에 미치는 영향을 제거회전력 및 표면분석을 통해서 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 대조군은 RBM 표면처리 후 산처리된 임플란트(RBM + HCl)이고, 실험군은 대조군과 동일한 표면처리 후 생리식염수에 2주간 적신 임플란트(RBM + HCl + Sal)이다. 토끼 10마리의 좌우측 경골에 각각 대조군 및 실험군 임플란트를 식립하고, 동시에 식립회전력(ITQ)을 측정하였다. 10일 후 임플란트 식립부위를 노출시켜 제거회전력(RTQ)을 측정하였다. 실험에 사용된 임플란트 시편의 표면분석을 위해 field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), 표면거칠기 측정 및 Raman 분광분석을 시행하였다. 결과: RBM 표면처리 및 산처리하여 생리식염수에 적신 티타늄 임플란트에서 대조군에 비해 높은 제거회전력을 나타냈으며, 통계적으로 유의미한 값을 보였다(P = 0.014 < 0.05). 표면거칠기는 실험군에서 더 높은 거칠기를 나타냈다. 결론: 티타늄 임플란트에 RBM 표면처리 및 산처리 후 생리식염수에 적신 것이 생리식염수를 적시지 않은 것 보다 초기 골유착을 향상시키는 것으로 생각된다.
