Objective: To determine the unique contribution of geometrical design characteristics of orthodontic mini-implants on maximum insertion torque while controlling for the influence of cortical bone thickness. Methods: Total number of 100 cylindrical orthodontic mini-implants was used. Geometrical design characteristics of ten specimens of ten types of cylindrical self-drilling orthodontic mini-implants (Ortho Easy$^{(R)}$, Aarhus, and Dual Top$^{TM}$) with diameters ranging from 1.4 to 2.0 mm and lengths of 6 and 8 mm were measured. Maximum insertion torque was recorded during manual insertion of mini-implants into bone samples. Cortical bone thickness was measured. Retrieved data were analyzed in a multiple regression model. Results: Significant predictors for higher maximum insertion torque included larger outer diameter of implant, higher lead angle of thread, and thicker cortical bone, and their unique contribution to maximum insertion torque was 12.3%, 10.7%, and 24.7%, respectively. Conclusions: The maximum insertion torque values are best controlled by choosing an implant diameter and lead angle according to the assessed thickness of cortical bone.

Statement of problem. Osseointegration is important mechanism of dental implant but it is not easy to evaluate. Indirect measurement is non-invasive and clinically applicable but they need more study about correlation between indirect values and degree of osseointegration. Purpose. The aims of this study were to evaluate the coefficient of correlation between indirect measurement and direct measurement under different healing time, and assessment of effect of initial insertion torque to the implant stability. Material and Methods. 20 rabbits received 3 implants on each side of tibia. Three kinds of implants (machined surface implant, Sandblasted with Large grit and Acid etched implant, Resorbable Blast Media treated implant) were used. During the surgery implant insertion torque were measured with $Osseocare^{TM}$. After the 1, 4, 8, 12 weeks of healing time, animals were sacrificed and stability values (Implant Stability Quotient with $Osstell^{TM}$, removal torque with torque gauge) were measured. Results. The Bone quality of rabbit tibia was classified into 2 groups according to the insertion torque. Resonance frequency analysis (ISQ) and removal torque showed positive correlation until $4^{th}$ week (r=0.555, p=0.040). After $8^{th}$ week (r=0.011, p=0.970) the correlation became weak and it turned negative at $12^{th}$ week (r=-0.074, p=0.801). Insertion torque and ISQ showed changing correlation upon the healing time ($1^{st}$ week: r=0.301, p=0.033, $4^{th}$ week: r=-0.429, p=0.018, $8^{th}$ week: r=0.032, p=0.865, $12^{th}$ week: r=-0.398, p=0.029). Insertion torque and removal torque has positive correlation but it was not statistically significant ($1^{st}$ week: r=0.410, p=0.129, $4^{th}$ week: r=0.156, p=0.578, $8^{th}$ week: r=0.236, p=0.398, $12^{th}$ week: r=0.260, p=0.350). Conclusion. In this study, bone quality may affect the degree of osseointegration positively during healing time and correlation between ISQ and degree of osseointegration can be different according to the healing time and bone quality.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The application of a simple, clinically applicable noninvasive test to assess implant stability are considered highly desirable. So far there is still a controversy about correlation of various tests and implant stability. PURPOSE: In order to assess implant stability, the development of a new method is critical. It's possible to assess implant stability by calculating energy and angular momentum during implant installation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation of energy and implant stability. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty three implants were installed in two different types of pig bone. Type I bone was retrieved from the distal aspect of the rib, with more cortical bone. Type II bone came from a more proximal region with less cortical components and a higher content of bone marrow and spongeous trabeculae. Insertion torque, removal torque, ISQ values and angular momentum and energy were measured. Pearson Correlation test was done to analyze the relation between RFA, maximum insertion torque, mean insertion torque, bone type, energy and removal torque. RESULTS: Type I bone showed higher removal torque than type II bone. Energy value was significantly correlated with maximum insertion torque and mean insertion torque. RFA values were related with insertion torques but the significance was lower than Energy value. CONCLUSION: Within the limitation of this study energy values were considered clinically predictable method to measure the implant stability.

Statement of problem. Primary implant stability has long been identified as a prerequisite to achieve osseointegration. So the application of a simple, clinically applicable noninvasive test to assess implant stability and osseiointegratation are considered highly desirable. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ISQ value and the insertion torque of the 3 different implant system, then to evaluate whether there was a correlation between ISQ value and insertion torque; and to determine whether implant design has an influence on either insertion torque or ISQ value. Material and method. The experiment was composed of 3 groups: depending on the implant fixture design. Group1 was Branemark type parallel implant in $3.75{\times}7mm$. Group2 was Oneplant type straight implant in $4.3{\times}8.5mm$. Group3 was Oneplant type tapered implant in $4.3{\times}8.5mm$. Depending on the density of the bone, 2 types of bone were used in this experiment. Type I bone represented for cortical bone, type II bone represented for cancellous bone. With the insertion of the implant in type I and type II bone, the insertion torque was measured, then the ISQ value was evaluated, and then the correlation between insertion torque and ISQ value was analyzed Result and conclusion. Within the limitations of this study, the following conclusions were drawn. 1. Within the 3 different implants, the insertion torque value and ISQ value were higher in type I bone, when compared with type II bone.(p<0.05) 2. In type I and type II bone, Oneplant type tapered implant has the highest value in insertion torque.(p<0.05) 3. In type I and type II bone, there was no difference in ISQ values among the 3 types of implant. (p>0.05) 4. Significant linear correlation was found in $Br{\aa}nemark$ type parallel implant: $3.75{\times}7mm$ in type II bone.

Purpose: Implant stability at the time of surgery is crucial for the long-term success of dental implants. Primary stability is considered of paramount importance to achieve osseointegration. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the correlation between the insertion torque and primary stability of dental implants using artificial bone blocks with different bone densities and compositions to mimic different circumstances that are encountered in routine daily clinical settings. Methods: In order to validate the objectives, various sized holes were made in bone blocks with different bone densities (#10, #20, #30, #40, and #50) using a surgical drill and insertion torque together with implant stability quotient (ISQ) values that were measured using the Osstell Mentor. The experimental groups under evaluation were subdivided into 5 subgroups according to the circumstances. Results: In group 1, the mean insertion torque and ISQ values increased as the density of the bone blocks increased. For group 2, the mean insertion torque values decreased as the final drill size expanded, but this was not the case for the ISQ values. The mean insertion torque values in group 3 increased with the thickness of the cortical bone, and the same was true for the ISQ values. For group 4, the mean insertion torque values increased as the cancellous bone density increased, but the correlation with the ISQ values was weak. Finally, in group 5, the mean insertion torque decreased as the final drill size increased, but the correlation with the ISQ value was weak. Conclusions: Within the limitations of the study, it was concluded that primary stability does not simply depend on the insertion torque, but also on the bone quality.

본 연구는 self-tapping screw의 특징적 구조인 cutting flute의 길이 및 형태 변화에 따른 미니 임플랜트의 식립 및 제거 토크를 비교해보기 위해 시행되었다. 외경, 내경, 길이 및 pitch 등 다른 조건이 모두 동일하고 cutting flute의 형태만 다른 세 종류의 미니 임플랜트를 사용하였다(A군; 2.6 mm 길이의 flute가 형성된 그룹, B군; 3.9 mm의 길이이면서 직선형의 flute를 갖는 그룹, C군; 3.9 mm의 길이이면서 나선형의 flute를 갖는 그룹). 골밀도를 균일하게 하기 위해 실험용 인공골(Sawbones Inc., USA)을 사용하였으며, 수직력 및 회전속도를 일정하게 하기 위해 구동식 토크시험기를 이용하였다. 그 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 총 삽입 시간은 2 mm 두께의 피질골 시편에서는 세 군간에 차이를 보이지 않으나, 4 mm 두께의 피질골 시편에서는 C군 > B군 > A군 순으로 짧은 삽입 시간을 보였다. 최대 삽입 토크는 2 mm 두께의 시편에서는 A군이 다른 두 군에 비해 높은 값을 보이나, 4 mm 두께의 피질골 시편에서는 C군 > A군 > B군 순으로 높은 값을 보였다. 최대 제거 토크는 2 mm 두께의 피질골 시편에서는 세 군 사이에 차이가 없으나, 4 mm 두께의 피질골 시편에서는 C군이 다른 두 군에 비해 높은 값을 보여주었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 피질골이 두꺼운 부위에 미니 임플랜트를 식립할 경우 cutting flute의 길이 및 형태 또한 고려하여 미니 임플랜트를 선택하는 것이 바람직하다.

교정용 스크류의 적절한 식립 토오크는 스크류와 골과의 경계에 적절히 작용하여 실패를 최소화 할 수 있는데, 너무 낮은 식립 토오크는 안정성이 없으며 반면에 너무 강한 식립 토오크는 열, 기계적 손상으로 골 괴사를 야기할 수도 있다. 본 연구에는 임상적으로 스크류의 길이와 직경 및 형태 등을 달리하여 식립 토오크를 측정해서 스크류의 각 부분에 대한 세분화된 토오크의 변화를 분석하고자 하였다. 연구결과 1.5 mm 두께의 인공피질골 블록에서 cylindrical type 스크류와 taper type 스크류 두 형태 모두에서 스크류 길이가 길수록 최대 식립 토오크 값도 함께 증가하였다. 특히 cylindrical type 스크류에서 길이에 따른 토오크 변화에 대해 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 관찰되었다 (p<0.05). 미니스크류의 연속적인 식립 토오크 분석 결과 cylindrical type 스크류는 연속적인 그래프 형태를 보이면서 불완전 나사부에서 식립 토오크가 크게 증가하였으며, taper type 스크류는 나사선의 마지막 경사진 부분에서 식립 토오크가 크게 증가하였다. 외경이 커질수록 최대 식립 토오크 값은 증가하였는데, 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다 (p<0.05). 형태와 외경, 길이는 모두 토오크 값에 유의한 영향을 미치는데, 식립 토오크에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 외경, 형태, 길이 순서였다. 본 연구 결과 스크류의 식립 토오크에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 스크류의 외경이며 각각의 해부학적 구조물에 대한 피질골의 두께를 고려하여 적합한 스크류의 두께 및 나사산의 형태를 선택하는 것이 스크류의 초기 고정력을 얻는데 유리하다고 판단된다.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM. Implant drivers are getting popular in clinical dentistry. Unlike to implant systems with external hex connection, implant drivers directly engage the implant/abutment interface. The deformation of the implant/abutment interface can be introduced while placing an implant with its implant driver in clinical situations. PURPOSE. This study evaluated the change of rotational freedom between an implant and its abutment after application of different insertion torques. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Three kinds of internal connection implants were utilized for the current study($4.5{\times}12\;mm$ Xive, $4.3{\times}11.5\;mm$ Inplant Magicgrip, $4.3{\times}12\;mm$ Implantium MF). An EstheticBase, a 2-piece top, a Dual abutment was used for its corresponding implant system. The rotational freedom between an implant and its abutment were measured before and after applying 45, 100 Ncm insertion torque. Repeated measures ANOVA was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS. Under 45 Ncm insertion torque, the rotational freedom between an implant and its abutment was significantly increased in Xive(P = .003). However, no significant change was noted in Inplant Magicgrip and Implantium MF. Under 100 Ncm torque, both in Xive(P = .0005) and Implatium MF(P = .03) resulted in significantly increased rotational freedom between the implant and its abutment. DISCUSSION. The design of the implant/implant driver interface effectively prevented the deformation of implant/abutment interface. Little change was noted in the rotational freedom between an implant and its abutment, even though the insertion torque was far beyond clinical application. CONCLUSIONS. The implant/abutment joint of internally connecting implants were quite stable under insertion torque in clinical situation.

In order for a robot to carry out a precise assembly task with compliant motion, a force/torque sensor is needed. The output of the cross-bar structured force / torque sensor which is used in a peg-in-hole insertion task and attached to a SCARA type robot, is analzed. First, the relationship between the sensor outputs and the force / torque components obtained by the outputs is investigated. Second, in a peg-in-hole insertion task, the sensor outputs changing with the contact position of the peg and the hole, are analyzed. Also, the relative position of the peg and the hole is obtained from the sensor outputs. The peg-in-hole insertion task is successfully executed, using a SCARA type robot with a wrist force / torque sensor manufactured in our laboratory and the compliance algorithm from the results of this paper.

임플란트의 성공은 식립 후의 초기 안정성 (Initial stability)의 결과가 중요한 영향을 준다. 이 연구의 목적은 연질 골에서 두 종류의 테이퍼 형태 임플란트가 임플란트의 디자인과 self-tapping blade의 유무에 따라서 초기 안정성에 주는 영향을 알아보는 것이다. Self-tapping blade를 가지고 있는 것과 가지고 있지 않은 두 종류의 테이퍼 형태 임플란트가 사용되었다. Solid Rigid Polyurethane Form으로 연질 골 상태인 D4 골 모형을 재현하였다. 임플란트 고정체를 식립하면서 초기 안정성 값을 기록하고, 식립 직후 implant stability quotient (ISQ)을 측정하여 Resonance frequency Analysis (RFA)를 평가하였다. 마지막으로 임플란트가 식립된 모형골을 만능 시험기에 부착하여 장축 방향으로의 pull-out force를 측정하였다. 초기 안정성 값과 최대 pull-out torque 값은 non self-tapping implants가 self-tapping group에 비하여 통계학적으로 유의하게 큰 평균값을 나타냈다 (P = 0.008). 공진 주파수 분석 결과인 ISQ 값은 거의 비슷한 평균값을 보였으면 통계학적으로 차이가 없었다. 각 임플란트 시스템에서 식립 토크와 pull-out 최대 토크 그리고 공진 주파수 간에는 상관관계를 나타내지 않았다. Non self-tapping 임플란트의 높은 식립 토크는 임상적으로 우수한 초기 안정성을 의미한다. 결론적으로 연질 골에서 self-tapping blade가 없는 임플란트가 있는 것 보다 더 우수한 초기 안정성을 보였다.
