PURPOSE. To compare the clinical outcomes of two types of implant restoration for posterior edentulous area, 3-unit bridge supported by 2 implants and 3 implant-supported splinted crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The data included 127 implant-supported fixed restorations in 85 patients: 37 restorations of 3-unit bridge supported by 2 implants (2-IB), 37 restorations of 3 implant-supported splinted crowns (3-IC), and 53 single restorations (S) as controls. Peri-implantitis and mechanical complications that occurred for 14 years were analyzed by multivariable Cox regression model. Kaplan-Meier curves and the multivariable Cox regression model were used to analyze the success and survival of implants. RESULTS. Peri-implantitis occurred in 28.4% of 2-IB group, 37.8% of 3-IC group, and 28.3% of S control group with no significant difference. According to the implant position, middle implants (P2) of the 3-IC group had the highest risk of peri-implantitis. The 3-IC group showed a lower mechanical complication rate (7.2%) than the 2-IB (16.2%) and S control group (20.8%). The cumulative success rate was 52.8% in S (control) group, 62.2% in 2-IB group, and 60.4% in 3-IC group. The cumulative survival rate was 98.1% in S (control) group, 98.6% in 2-IB group, and 95.5% in 3-IC group. There was no significant difference in the success and survival rate according to the restoration type. CONCLUSION. The restoration type was not associated with the success and survival of implants. The risk of mechanical complications was reduced in 3 implant-supported splinted crowns. However, the middle implants of the 3 implant-supported splinted crowns had a higher risk of peri-implantitis.

Purpose: To describe the newly developed Film image transfer system (FITS) for proper positioning of the orthodontic mini-implant in the narrow interdental space and considerations for better application. Materials and Methods: A patient who was planning to have orthodontic mini-implant treatment on the posterior maxilla was recruited to assess the feasibility of FITS. Dental radiographic film and bite record was taken. And then the film image was transferred on the photographic emulsion coated model using transfer light through film projector (enlarger). After exposing the photo emulsion coating on the model, the image was developed with a working solution for a paper developer and fixed. The surgical guide for the mini-implant was fabricated from the transported FITS data. Results: The completed surgical guide was easily placed intraorally, and allowed a simple and rapid placement of the mini-implant. The site of the implant placement was accurate as planned position. Conclusion: In the reported case, The FITS technique represents an effort to minimize risk to the patient and produce consistently good results based upon accurate information about the anatomy of the implant site.

Computer-guided system은 술 전에 임플란트 위치를 계획하고 이와 일치하도록 구강 내에 임플란트를 식립할 수 있게 하는 방법이다. 하지만 이렇게 임플란트를 식립한다 할지라도 실제 매식된 임플란트의 위치는 원래 계획하였던 위치와 차이가 있을 수 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 실제 임상에서 computer guided system을 이용하여 임플란트를 식립한 환자들의 경우 계획한 위치와 실제 식립된 임플란트 사이에 발생하는 변위량의 범위를 알아보고 그 임상적 적합성을 평가하는 것이다. 'NobelGuide' system (Nobel Biocare AB, G$\ddot{o}$teborg, Sweden)을 이용하여 Br${\aa}$nemark MK III Groovy RP (Nobel Biocare AB, G$\ddot{o}$teborg, Sweden)임플란트 식립을 시행 받은 다섯 명의 환자를 선정하였다. 수술용 형판에 지대주 유사체를 연결한 후 술 전 측정 모형을 제작하였고 최종 보철물 제작 시 최종 인상을 채득하여 술 후 측정 모형을 제작하였다. 두 측정 모형의 CT 방사선 사진을 촬영 후 3차원적으로 재현하였고 재현된 모델 상에서 식립된 임플란트 위치를 지정하였다. 각 임플란트는 임플란트 경부와 첨단의 중심점을 연결하여 임플란트 축을 설정하였으며 두 축 간의 각도가 측정되었다. 임플란트 간 거리는 각 임플란트의 경부에서, 설정된 임플란트 축이 지나가는 중심점 간의 거리를 측정하였다. 총 5명 환자의 58개 부위의 임플란트 간 술 전과 술 후 임플란트 거리와 각도 변위량이 기록되었으며 평균 및 최대 변위값을 산출하였다. 술 전과 술 후 임플란트 위치 간 거리의 변위량은 평균 0.41 mm였고 최대 1.7 mm의 범위 하에 있었다. 술 전과 술 후 임플란트 간 위치의 각도의 변위량은 평균 $1.99^{\circ}$를 나타냈으며 최대 각도 변위량은 $6.7^{\circ}$를 나타내었다. 술 전 계획된 임플란트와 술 후 식립된 임플란트 간의 길이와 각도에 따른 평균 변위량은 computer-guided implant system을 실제 임상에 적용하는 데 있어 큰 문제가 존재하지 않고 '수동적 적합(passive fit)'을 얻기에 무리가 없을 허용 가능할 만한 값을 나타냈다.

임플란트 보조 국소의치의 치료는 오래전부터 여러 형태로 시도되어 왔으며, 이 중 임플란트 서베이드 크라운 국소의치의 경우 점차 예지성을 얻고 있으며, 특히 경제적, 해부학적으로 불리한 부분 무치악 환자에게 한 가지 치료 방법이 될 수 있다. 이때 임플란트의 식립 위치는 치료 목적에 따라 전방 식립과 후방 식립으로 분류될 수 있는데, 이는 환자의 치조제, 잔존치 예후, 대합치 등 여러 상황을 고려하여 결정되어야 한다. 본 증례에서는 하악 Kennedy 1급 부분 무치악 환자에게 두 개의 임플란트 서베이드 크라운을 활용한 하악 임플란트 보조 국소의치를 통해 수복하였다. 본 환자에게 후방 식립이 어렵다는 점과 잔존치의 예후를 고려하여 임플란트를 잔존치에 근접한 부위에 두 개를 식립하는 것이 계획되었으며, 가이드 수술을 통해 계획한 위치, 각도, 깊이에 식립되었다. 고정성 보철물 제작 과정은 상악 무치악 치아 배열 과정과 병행하여 예지성을 높였고, 국소의치를 제작 시에는 임플란트가 최후방 지대치로서 과도한 하중이 가하지 않도록 기능 운동을 허용하는 형태로 디자인되고, 이차 인상 과정을 거쳐 제작되었다. 각 치료 과정을 계획한대로 진행하여 환자와 술자 모두 심미적, 기능적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Objectives: In this study, we determined the incidence and pattern of screw loosening in patients who received dental implants. Materials and Methods: Patients who received implants between January 2008 and October 2013 and completed their prosthetic rehabilitation were evaluated for the incidence, frequency, and onset of screw loosening using dental charts and radiographs. The association between each factor and screw loosening was analyzed using the chi-square test and a multivariate analysis with binary logistic regression models (P<0.05). Results: Total 1,928 implants were placed in 837 patients (448 males, 389 females), whose follow-up period after loading varied from 0.25 to 70 months (mean period, 31.5 months). Screw loosening occurred in 7.2% of implants. Most cases occurred less than six months after loading. Among those, 22.3% experienced recurrent screw loosening. Screw loosening was most common in the molar region (8.5%) and frequently associated with an implant diameter of ≥5 mm (14.2%). External implant-abutment connections (8.9%) and screw-retained implant prostheses (10.1%) showed higher incidence of problems than internal implant-abutment connections and cement-retained implants, respectively. Screw loosening was most common in implant prostheses with single crowns (14.0%). Conclusion: Within the limits of the current study, we conclude that the incidence of screw loosening differs significantly according to the position of implant placement, the type of implant and manufacturer, implant diameter, the type of implant-abutment connection, the type of retention in the implant prosthesis, and the type of implant prosthesis.

Statement of problem: Recently there are on an increasing trend of using implants-especially in edentulous mandible of severly alveolar bone recessed. Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the displacement and stress distribution of various mandibular implant-retained overdenture models supported by two implants in interforaminal region under the occlusion scheme load. Material and method: FEA models were made by the 3D scanning of the edentulous mandibular dentiform. The three models were named as Model M1, M2, and M3 accord ing to the position of implants: M1, Lt. incisor area, M2, Canine area, and M3, 1st Premolar area. Inter-implant angulation model was named as M4. Conventional complete denture was named M5 and used as a control group. Ball implant and Gold matrice were used as a retentive anchors. The occlusion type loads were applied horizontally over each tooth. Results: 1. In mandibular implant retained overdenture Canine Protected Occlusion type load resulted in higher levels of stress to the implants and female matrices than other types of loads. 2. The overdenture model M1, with implants in lateral incisor areas resulted in lower stress concentration to the implants and female matrices than other models. 3. In mandibular implant retained overdenture the stresses of the implant and female matrice were lower in mesially inclined implant than these of parallel installed implant. Conclusion: Lateral incisor areas could be the best site for the implants in mandibular implant-retained overdenture. The mandibular implant retained overdenture models mentioned above showed to the lowest stress to the implants and female matrices.

Purpose: Rehabilitation of the incomplete dentition by means of osseointegrated dental implants represents a highly predictable and widespread therapy; however, little is known about potential risk factors that may impair long-term implant success. Methods: From 2004 to 2012, a total of 13,147 implants were placed in 4,316 patients at the Academy for Oral Implantology in Vienna. The survival rates after 8 years of follow-up were computed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the impact of patient- and implant-related risk factors was assessed. Results: Overall implant survival was 97% and was not associated with implant length (P=0.930), implant diameter (P=0.704), jaw location (P=0.545), implant position (P=0.450), local bone quality (P=0.398), previous bone augmentation surgery (P=0.617), or patient-related factors including osteoporosis (P=0.661), age (P=0.575), or diabetes mellitus (P=0.928). However, smoking increased the risk of implant failure by 3 folds (P<0.001) and a positive history of periodontal disease doubled the failure risk (P=0.001). Conclusions: Summing up the long-term results of well over 10,000 implants at the Academy for Oral Implantology in Vienna it can be concluded that there is only a limited number of patients that do not qualify for implant therapy and may thus not benefit from improved quality of life associated with fixed implant-retained prostheses.

정중구개봉합부에 교정용 미니 임플랜트를 식립하고자 할 때 절치관의 해부학적 위치를 파악하여 이를 피하여 식립하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 절치관의 해부학적 위치를 절치유두나 치관의 교두첨 등의 임상적 지표를 이용하여 예측할 수 있는 해부학적 자료를 마련하고자 하였다. 성인 남녀 25명의 진단 모형과 전산화 단층촬영(CT) 자료를 통해 절치관의 해부학적 형태, 절치유두와 절치관의 전후방적인 위치의 관련성 및 치관 교두첨의 전후방 위치에 따른 절치관 후방 정중구개봉합부의 골두께를 계측하였다. 계측 결과 중절치 사이 설측 치간유두에서 절치공 후연까지 구개면상의 거리는 치간유두-절치유두 후연 길이의 약 1.7배에 해당하였으며 절치유두 후연에서 절치공 후연까지의 구개면상의 거리는 평균 6.15 ${\pm}$ 1.75 mm였다. 절치공 후연의 전후방적 위치는 교두첨을 기준으로 평가 시 제1소구치의 설측교두보다 약간 전방에 해당하였으며, 이 부위 직후방에서는 골표면에 수직으로 식립하는 것보다 교합평면에 수직으로 식립할 때 골두께가 더 두꺼웠다. 또한 절치관의 폭경이 구개에서 4.03 ${\pm}$ 0.64 mm인 것을 고려할 때 절치관의 측방에 식립코자 하는 경우 정중에서 3 mm 이상 측방에 식립하는 것이 바람직하다. 교정용 미니 임플랜트를 정중구개부에 식립할 때 본 연구 결과를 절치공의 위치를 짐작하는 데 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of occlusal and interproximal adjustments of single implant crowns (SIC), comparing a digital cast-free approach (CF) and a protocol using 3D printed casts (PC). MATERIALS AND METHODS. A titanium implant was inserted at position of lower right first molar in a typodont. The implant position was scanned using an intraoral scanner and SICs were fabricated accordingly. Ten crowns (CF; n = 10) were subject to a digital cast-free workflow without any labside occlusal and interproximal modifications. Ten other identical crowns (PC) were adjusted to 3D printed casts before delivery. All crowns were then adapted to the testing model, simulating chair-side adjustments during clinical placement. Adjustment time, quantity of adjustments, and contact relationship were assessed. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (P < .05). RESULTS. Median and interquartile range (IQR) of clinical adjustment time was 02:44 (IQR 00:45) minutes in group CF and 01:46 (IQR 00:21) minutes in group PC. Laboratory and clinical adjustment time in group PC was 04:25 (IQR 00:59) minutes in total. Mean and standard deviation (±SD) of root mean squared error (RMSE) of quantity of clinical adjustments was 45 ± 7 ㎛ in group CF and 34 ± 6 ㎛ in group PC. RMSE of total adjustments was 61 ± 11 ㎛ in group PC. Quality of occlusal contacts was better in group CF. CONCLUSION. Time effort for clinical adjustments was higher in the cast-free protocol, whereas quantity of modifications was lower, and the occlusal contact relationship was found more favourable.
