Purpose: Implant surface modification and implant design are the principle targets for achieving successful primary stability. The aim of this study was to measure implant stability quotient (ISQ) values of sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched (SLA) implants with tapered straight body design during the healing period, and to determine the various factors affecting implant stability. Materials and Methods: To measure implant stability, resonance frequency analysis (RFA) was performed in 26 patients (13 women and 13 men) with 44 SLA implants with tapered straight body design. Implant stability (ISQ values) was evaluated at baseline and healing abutment connection (12 weeks), and the correlations between RFA and insertion torque (IT), bone quality, and jawbone were determined. Results: The mean ISQ value of the implants was $69.4{\pm}10.2$ at the time of implant placement (baseline) and $81.4{\pm}6.9$ at the time of healing abutment connection (P < 0.05). Significant differences were found between RFA and bone quality and between RFA and jawbone (P < 0.05). No significant differences were found between RFA and IT, insertion area, fixture diameter, and implant length (P > 0.05). Conclusion: ISQ values of SLA implants with tapered straight body design were high at baseline and healing abutment connection. It was concluded that SLA implants with tapered straight body design show improved primary and secondary stability, and that immediate or early loading may be applicable.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the insertion depth of an immediately loaded implant on the stress distribution of the surrounding bone and the micromovement of the implant using the three-dimensional finite element analysis. Materials and methods: A total of five bone models were constructed such that the implant platform was positioned at the levels of 0.00 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.50 mm, 0.75 mm, and 1.00 mm depth from the crest of the cortical bone. A frictional coefficient of 0.3 and the insertion torque of 35 Ncm were simulated on the interface between the implant and surrounding bone. A static load of 178 N was applied to the provisional prosthesis with a vertical load in the axial direction and an oblique load at $30^{\circ}$ with respect to the central axis of the implant, then a finite element analysis was performed. Results: The implant insertion depth significantly affected the stress distribution on the surrounding bone. The largest micromovement value of the implant was $39.34{\mu}m$. The oblique load contributed significantly to the stress distribution and micromovement in comparison to the vertical load. Conclusion: Increasing the implant insertion depth was advantageous in dispersing the concentrated stress in the cortical bone and did not significantly affect the micromovement associated with early osseointegration failure.

Purpose. This study was conducted to evaluate clinical usefulness by evaluating the marginal bone resorption and survival rate of an implant with a taper straight type SLA surface domestically available on the market recently. Materials and methods. 40 implants satisfying the including criteria were observed for one year of 125 implants of 83 adult men and women who had KISPLANT^® implanted from August 2016 to December 2019 at the Department of Periodontology, Chonnam National University Dental Hospital. The marginal bone level was measured on periapical radiographs taken initially and 1 year later and we analyzed implant survival and success rates. A t-test was used for the analysis of the association between the marginal bone resorption and the severity of periodontitis, supportive periodontal therapy, the inserted site, the cause of extraction, immediate placement, and systemic disease. Results. After 1 year of loading, the mesial bone resorption was 0.74 ± 1.07 mm, and the distal bone resorption was 0.53 ± 1.04 mm. The marginal bone resorption of 2 mm or more occurred at 3 implants out of 40 implants after 1 year, so the success rate of implant was 92.5% and survival rate was 100%. There was a significant difference in mesial marginal bone resorption according to the inserted site and no significant differences were found between marginal bone resorption and the other factors. Conclusion. As a result of marginal bone resorption, success rate, and survival rate in this study, we found little marginal bone resorption and high survival and success rate. It can be concluded that they represent excellent clinical results.

This report described a technique utilizing a computer-aided design (CAD) /computer-aided machining (CAM) - guided surgical implant placement and prefabricated fixed complete denture for an immediately loaded restoration. A patient with an edentulous maxilla and mandible received 6 implants in maxilla and 6 implants in the mandible using CAD/CAM surgical templates. Prefabricated provisional maxillary and mandibular implant supported fixed prostheses were connected immediately after implant installation. Provisional prostheses were evaluated for aesthetics, function during 6 months. Definitive prostheses were fabricated.

Since the treatment of edentulous patients with osseointegrated implant was first introduced more than 30 years ago, implant therapy has become one of the most important dental treatment modalities today. Based on the previous experience and knowledge, $Br{\aa}nemark\;Novum^{(R)}$ protocol was introduced with the concept of simplifying surgical and prosthetic technique and reducing healing time recently. This protocol recommends the installation of three 5mm wide diameter futures in anterior mandible and the prefabricated titanium bars for superstructure fabrication. This study was designed to analyze the stress distribution at fixture and superstructure area according to changes of fixture number, diameter and superstructure materials. Four 3-dimensional finite element models were fabricated. Model 1 - 5 standard fixtures (13mm long and 3.75mm in diameter) & superstructure consisted of type IV gold alloy and resin Model 2- 3 wide diameter fixtures (13mm long and 5.0mm in diameter) & superstructure consisted of type IV gold alloy and resin Model 3-3 wide diameter fixtures (13mm long and 5.0mm in diameter) & superstructure consisted of titanium and resin Model 4-3 wide diameter fixtures (13mm long and 5.0mm in diameter) & superstructure consisted of titanium and porcelain A 150N occlusal force was applied on the 1st molar of each model in 3 directions - vertical($90^{\circ}$), horizontal($0^{\circ}$) and oblique($120^{\circ}$). After analyzing the stresses and displacements, following results were obtained. 1. There were no significant difference in stress distribution among experimental models. 2. Model 2, 3, 4 showed less amount of compressive stress than that of model 1. However, tensile stress was similar. 3. Veneer material with a high modulus of elasticity demonstrated less stress accumulation in the superstructure. Within the limites of this study, $Br{\aa}nemark\;Novum^{(R)}$ protocol demonstrated comparable biomechanical properties to conventional protocol.

Orthognathic surgery of skeletal Class III malocclusion improves oral function and facial appearance. The greater amount of skeletal discrepancy, the greater amount of teeth movement required for decompensation, and this often causes pathological changes in periodontal tissue especially in lower anterior dentition. We made a Top-Down treatment plan with personalized analysis using Face Hunter, Plane System and ARCUS Digma II, in order to resolve severe mobility and cross-bite of lower anterior teeth for 49-year-old female patient who had undergone orthognathic surgery 20 years ago due to skeletal Class III malocclusion and mandibular prognathism. Lower anterior teeth were extracted and alveoloplasty was done. After healing of the wound, immediate loading was conducted immediately after implant placement. Final restorations were fabricated Zirconia using CAD/CAM, and inserted intraorally screw-retained type. During 6-month follow-up, no abnormal episodes of restorations were observed, and obtained satisfactorily both of functional and esthetic outcomes.
