Statement of problem. The proper materials of attachments for implant retained overdenture are unknown, such as the correlation between retention and abrasion, as well as the types of materials that are suitable for patrix and for matrix individually. Purpose of this study. The aim of this study was to select a proper clinical attachment system for a successful treatment as well as patient satisfaction. Methods. Retention and abrasion of 14 commercial attachments were measured during 15,000 removes. Results. A retentive part (matrix) which requires elasticity has to be made of gold while the patrix part which does not require elasticity has to be made of titanium. This gold matrix / titanium patrix combination showed the most retentive force and the least retention loss.

임플랜트 고정체의 표면처리 기술의 발달에 기인하여 골유착의 성공률이 좋아지고 있으며 임플랜트를 이용하는 보철물의 형태와 임상 술 식도 다양하게 발전되고 있다. 상악의 임플랜트 피개의치는 아직 표준화된 치료법에 대한 의견이 분분하다. 본 연구는 상악 무치악의 치료를 위하여 해부학적인 요소와 생역학적인 요소를 고려하여 양측 견치부 또는 소구치부위에 2개의 임플랜트를 식립할 때의 응력분포를 삼차원 유한요소분석을 이용하여 관찰하고자 하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 임플랜트를 양측 견치 부위에 식립한 모형에서 부하가 가해지는 우측의 임플랜트의 원심면에 최대 응력이 집중되었다. 2. 임플랜트를 양측 제2소구치 부위에 식립한 모형에서 임플랜트 주위의 응력 분포는 부하지점의 거리와 상관없이 고르게 나타났다. 3. 치조골에 발생하는 응력 분포의 관찰 결과, 임플랜트가 양측 제2소구치 부위에 식립된 모형이 양측 견치부위에 식립된 모형보다 고르게 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, 상악 피개의치를 위한 임플랜트 식립 위치는 견치 부위에서보다 제2소구치 부위가 구강점막, 주위 골과 임플랜트에 전달되는 응력의 분포에 유리한 것으로 사료된다.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to investigate survival rates of the implants used in implant assisted removable partial dentures (IARPDs). MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study was conducted on 21 patients who were treated with IARPDs. The mean follow-up period for IARPD patients ranged from 12 to 185 months (mean 47.9 months). A total of 58 implants were used for IARPDs in two different modalities: 41 for surveyed crowns and 17 for overdentures. The survival of implants was determined by clinical and radiographic evaluations considering relevant factors: location, RPD classification, opposing dentition, splinting, and implant diameter. RESULTS. The survival rate of total 58 implants was 93.1%: 95.1% for implants supporting surveyed crowns and 88.2% for implants used in overdentures. Considering only the implants supporting surveyed crown, regular diameter implants showed a higher survival rate than narrow or wide diameter implants. CONCLUSION. The survival rate of the implants used in IARPDs was 93.1% (surveyed crown: 95.1%, overdenture: 88.2%).

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical findings and patient satisfaction on implant overdenture designed with Locator implant attachment or Locator bar attachment in mandibular edentulous patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Implant survival rate, marginal bone loss, probing depth, peri-implant inflammation, bleeding, plaque, calculus, complications, and satisfaction were evaluated on sixteen patients who were treated with mandibular overdenture and have used it for at least 1 year (Locator implant attachment: n=8, Locator bar attachment: n=8). RESULTS. Marginal bone loss, probing depth, plaque index of the Locator bar attachment group were significantly lower than the Locator implant attachment group (P<.05). There was no significant difference on bleeding, peri-implant inflammation, and patient satisfaction between the two denture types (P>.05). The replacement of the attachment components was the most common complication in both groups. Although there was no correlation between marginal bone loss and plaque index, a significant correlation was found between marginal bone loss and probing depth. CONCLUSION. The Locator bar attachment group indicates lesser marginal bone loss and need for maintenance, as compared with the Locator implant attachment group. This may be due to the splinting effect among implants rather than the types of Locator attachment.

무치악 환자에서 치아 상실 후 오랜 기간에 걸친 치조골 흡수는 의치의 사용을 어렵게 한다. 하악 무치악 환자에게 두 개 혹은 네 개의 임플란트를 식립하여 임플란트 피개의치를 이용하는 방식은 쉽게 접근할 수 있고, 의치의 유지, 지지와 안정을 크게 향상시킬 수 있는 방법이다. 임플란트 피개의치에 사용되는 어태치먼트 중에서 milled bar는 기성 bar보다 상부 구조물의 견고한 안정성과 충분한 유지력을 얻기 위해 사용할 수 있으며, 최근 CAD/CAM system의 발달과 함께 기공과정이 간소화되어 이용이 용이하게 되었다. 본 증례는 오랜 기간 상, 하악 총의치를 사용했던 환자에게 상악은 전통적인 방식으로 제작한 총의치와 하악에 네 개의 임플란트를 식립하여 CAD/CAM milled bar를 이용해 하악 임플란트 피개의치로 수복하여 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

PURPOSE. The design of the attachment must provide an optimum stress distribution around the implant. In this study, for implant overdentures with a bar/clip attachment or a locator attachment, the stress transmitted to the implant in accordance with the change in the denture base length and the vertical pressure was measured and analyzed. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Test model was created with epoxy resin. The strain gauges made a tight contact with implant surfaces. A universal testing machine was used to exert a vertical pressure on the mandibular implant overdenture and the strain rate of the implants was measured. RESULTS. Means and standard deviations of the maximum micro-deformation rates were determined. 1) Locator attachment: The implants on the working side generally showed higher strain than those on the non-working side. Tensile force was observed on the mesial surface of the implant on the working side, and the compressive force was applied to the buccal surface and on the surfaces of the implant on the non-working side. 2) Bar/clip attachment: The implants on the both non-working and working sides showed high strain; all surfaces except the mesial surface of the implant on the non-working side showed a compressive force. CONCLUSION. To minimize the strain on implants in mandibular implant overdentures, the attachment of the implant should be carefully selected and the denture base should be extended as much as possible.

피개 의치는 의치의 안정과 유지력 증가라는 장점을 갖지만 지대치가 우식 또는 치주질환에 이환되기 쉬우며 의치의 두께가 얇아짐으로써 의치가 파절되기 쉽다는 단점도 갖고 있다. 자성 어태치먼트 피개 의치는 수직적 유지력은 크지만 수평적 유지력은 작으므로 지대치나 임플란트에 덜 위해한 힘을 가하며, 다른 기계적 유지장치에 비해 마모나 파손 등이 적다는 장점이 있다. 피개 의치에서 나타나는 의치의 파절은 의치상의 두께가 얇아져서 발생하기도 하지만, 연조직과 경조직, 임플란트와 자연치의 압하량 차이로 인해 발생하기도 한다. 이를 보상하기 위해 silicone ball이 자석 안에 삽입되어있는 자성 어태치먼트가 개발되었으며, 이를 이용해 피개 의치를 제작한 증례에서 우수한 결과가 나타나 보고하고자 한다.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to compare the retention of mini implant overdenture by the number, the type of magnetic attachment, and the directions of applied dislodging force. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The experimental groups were designed by the number and type of magnetic attachment. Twenty samples were tested with Magden implants. Each attachment was composed of the magnet assembly in overdenture sample and the abutment keeper in a mandibular model. Dislodging forces were applied to the overdenture samples (50.0 mm/min) in 3 directions. The loading was repeated 10 times in each direction. The values of dislodging force were analyzed statistically using SPSS at 95% level of confidence. RESULTS. The retentive force of group 2 was greater than that of group 1 in both types of attachment in every direction (P < .05). Oblique retentive force of flat type magnetic attachment was higher than that of cushion type attachment in both groups (P < .05). In group 1, oblique retentive force showed the highest and anterior-posterior retentive force showed the lowest value in both attachment types (P < .05). In group 2, both types of attachment showed the lowest retentive force with anterior-posterior direction of dislodging force (P <.05). CONCLUSION. Proper retentive properties for implant overdenture were obtained, regardless of the number and type of magnetic attachment. In both types of magnetic attachment, the greater retentive force was attained with more implants. Oblique retentive force of flat type magnetic attachment was greater than that of cushion type. Among all subgroups, anterior-posterior retentive force was the lowest among three different directions of dislodging force.
