The success of dental implant therapy relies mainly upon the presence and maintenance of bone adjacent to implant. An 1-year prospective study was performed, upon the patients who were diagnosed as having chronic adult periodontitis, and had been treated with dental implant. The purpose of this study was to measure the radiographic bone level changes proximal to Astra Tech Single Tooth Implants (ATST, Astra Tech AB, $M{\"{o}}lndal$, Sweden) with microthread and Astra Tech TiOblast Implant (ATTB) without microthread supporting fixed partial prosthesis. Measurements were used to determine mean marginal bone loss during the first year of loading, 17 subjects with its partial prosthesis supported by 37 implants were followed up for an 1-year period. The marginal bone loss of implants was positively correlated with the retention factor, microthread($Microthread^{TM}$) in crestal area of ATST. The results were as follows. 1. The mean marginal bone loss of ATST was 0.226${\pm}$0.395mm, while ATTB was 0.440${\pm}$0.360mm. There was a statistically significant difference between ATST and ATTB (p<0.05). 2. The mean bone loss of the upper jaw fixtures was 0.269${\pm}$0.265mm for ATST and 0.529${\pm}$0.417mm for ATTB . There was a statistically significant difference between ATST and ATTB (p<0.05). In the lower jaw the corresponding figures were 0.167${\pm}$0.231mm and 0.313${\pm}$0.214mm, respectively. There was no significant difference between ATST and ATTB (p>0.05). 3. The mean bone loss of ATST was lower than that of ATTB at all sites according to bone quality. There was a statistically significant difference between ATST and ATTB at bone quality type III(p <0.05). In conclusion, the mean bone loss of ATST was smaller than that of ATTB . Therefore, the retention factor of crestal area, microthread ($Microthread^{TM}$) was effective to maintenance of marginal bone level around fixture.

Regular radiographic examination has been considered as an essential diagnostic method for the osseointegrated dental implantation. This study investigated the marginal bone loss through the measurement on the periapical radiograph around 46 endosseous dental implants. Marginal bone loss have been observed for 5 years after delivery of prostheses. The results were as follows : 1. According to the experimental periods, average marginal bone loss in total implant was 1.821mm in the first year, 1.833mm in the second, 1.892mm at third, 1.910mm at forth and 1.957mm at fifth after delivery of prostheses(P<0.05). 2. The average bone loss was 1.832mm in the maxillae and 1.819mm in the mandible in three years but there was no significant difference between the upper and lower jaw(P>0.05). 3. The average bone loss was 1.824mm in males and 1.818mm in females in five years but there was no significant difference according to the sex(P>0.05). These results indicate that the most of the alveolar bone loss occur within the first year after delivery of dental prostheses resulting in the exposure of polished neck positions, and the bone level stabilizes at first thread portion of the implant fixtures.

목적: 치과 임플랜트 주위의 변연골 변화는 임플랜트의 기능적인 유지 뿐만 아니라 심미적 성공을 위해서도 중요하다. 변연골의 유지를 위한 임플랜트 디자인이 연구되고 있다. 이번 예비 연구는 두 종류의 external hex implant 시스템에서 임플랜트의 상부 미세 나사산이 변연골 변화량에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 한다. 재료 및 방법: 총 24명의 환자를 대상으로 $Br{{\aa}}nemark$ 임플랜트 식립군 (1군, 거친 표면 임플랜트, 20개)과 원플란트 임플랜트 식립군 (2군, 미세나사산을 가진 거친 표면 임플랜트, 20개)으로 분류하였다. 기준 시점 (임플랜트 부하)과 부하를 가한 1년 뒤 임상적, 방사선학적 검사를 시행하였다. UTHSCSA Image Tool을 이용하여 임플랜트-보철 경계부로부터 변연골 높이 변화량으로 계측하였다. 계측치는 SAS 프로그램을 이용하여 three-level ANCOVA로 통계처리 하였다. 결과: 기준 시점과 비교하여 1년 기능 후, 두 그룹 간의 변연골 소실 변화량에 있어서 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다 (P<0.05). 1군의 평균 변연골 높이 변화량은 $0.83{\pm}0.31mm$, 2군에 있어서는 $0.44{\pm}0.36mm$ 이었다. 미세나사산을 가진 거친 표면 임플랜트가 미세나 사산을 가지지 않은 거친 표면 임플랜트 보다 더 적은 변연골 소실 변화량을 보였다. 결론: 미세나사산을 가진 거친 표면 임플랜트가 기능적 부하 후 변연골 높이를 유지하는데 있어 더 유리한 디자인으로 보인다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate marginal bone loss to the bone crest functionally loaded for up to eighteen months and also with regard to other variables of interest. Material and Methods: 135 endosseous implants(GS II, Osstem, South Korea) were placed in 35 patients. The design of GS II implant is straight with the microthread. Radiographic examinations were conducted at baseline (implant loading) and 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 months after loading. Marginal bone level measurement was made from the reference point to the lowest observed point of contact of the marginal bone with the fixture. The reference point of the fixture was the border between the blasted surface and machined surface of the fixture. Results: Implants were on function for a mean 12.7 months(range, 3?18 months). For the 56 maxillary and 79 mandibular implants, mean marginal bone loss was 0.68 mm and 0.70 mm. Implants placed maxillary posterior area displayed more crestal bone loss than the other position. The difference between mesial and distal bone levels was statistically significant (p<0.05) with respective means of 0.51 mm and 0.62 mm. Also, The difference between bone graft group and no-bone graft group was statistically significant(p<0.05) with respective means of 0.38 mm and 0.66 mm. But no statistically significant influence of sex, type of surgery(one or two stage surgery), the implant length was observed(p>0.05). Conclusion: This study indicates the amount of marginal bone loss around implant has maintained a relative stable during follow-up periods.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the crown-to-implant (C/I) ratio on the change in marginal bone level around the implant and to determine the site-related factors influencing the relationship between the C/I ratio and periimplant marginal bone loss. Methods: A total of 259 implants from 175 patients were evaluated at a mean follow-up of five years. Implants were divided into two groups according to their C/I ratios: ${\leq}$ 1, and >1. Site-related factors having an influence on the relationship between C/I ratio and periimplant marginal bone loss were analyzed according to the implant location, implant diameter, implant manufacturer, prosthesis type, and guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedure. Results: It was found that 1) implants with a C/I ratio below 1 exhibited greater periimplant marginal bone loss than implants with a C/I ratio more than 1, 2) site-related factors had an effect on periimplant marginal bone loss, except for the implant system used, 3) the C/I ratio was the factor having more dominant influence on periimplant marginal bone loss, compared with implant diameter, prosthesis type, implant location, and GBR procedure, 4) implants with a C/I ratio below 1 showed greater periimplant marginal bone loss than implants with a C/I ratio greater than 1 in the maxilla, but not in the mandible, 5) and periimplant marginal bone loss was more affected by the implant system than the C/I ratio. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, implants with a higher C/I ratio exhibited less marginal bone loss than implants with a lower C/I ratio in the posterior regions. The C/I ratio was a more dominant factor affecting periimplant marginal bone loss in the maxilla than the mandible. Meanwhile, the implant system was a more dominant factor influencing periimplant marginal bone loss than the C/I ratio.

임플랜트 주위 변연골의 흡수는 임플랜트의 기능적 및 심미적 성공에 큰 장애가 되는 요인이다. Adell은 임플랜트에 지대주 연결 후 첫 1년간 평균적으로 1.5mm의 변연골 소실을 보이고, 이 후에는 매년 0.1mm이하의 변연골 흡수가 있었다고 하였다(Adell et al.,1981). 이러한 변연골 흡수를 막기위한 많은 노력들이 행해져 왔다. 특히 임플랜트 collar의 특징에 따라서 변연골의 흡수가 달라질 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 임플랜트 collar에서의 laser microtexturing(microgroove)이 변연골 흡수에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 하는 것이다. 4종류의 임플랜트 총 101개를 식립한 환자 53명에서 임플랜트 식립시부터 보철물 장착한 후 평균 6개월 후 정기 검사 시까지의 임플랜트 주위 변연골의 흡수를 측정하여 비교하였다. 생물학적 폭경을 충분히 확보한 임플랜트(ITI standard)와 생물학적 폭경이 부족한 임플랜트 (ITI esthetic plus, Silhouette IC Laser-$Lok^{TM}$, Silhouette IC)에서 변연골 흡수의 차이를 비교하였고, 임플랜트 주위 변연골의 흡수에 대한 laser를 이용한 미세나사산의(Silhouette IC Laser-$Lok^{TM}$) 영향을 알아보았다. 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1. ITI standard와 Silhouette IC Laser-$Lok^{TM}$ 이 ITI esthetic plus 와 Silhouette IC 보다 임플랜트 주위 변연골의 흡수가 적었고 (p<0.05), ITI standard 와 Silhouette IC Laser-$Lok^{TM}$ 사이에는 변연골의 흡수가 유의차가 없었고(P>0.05), ITI esthetic plus와 Silhouette IC 사이에도 변연골의 흡수가 유의차가 없었다(P>0.05). 2. 사용된 임플랜트 전체에 대한 상하악의 비교에서는 상하악 사이에서 임플랜트 주위 변연골의 흡수는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 3. 흡수각도에 대한 비교에서도 4종류 임플랜트 그룹 간에 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(P>0.05). 본 연구에서 제한이 있긴 하지만, 임플랜트 디자인에서 생물학적 폭경이 부족한 경우(ITI esthetic plus, Silhouette IC)에는 생물학적 폭 경 보상을 위한 임플랜트 주위 변연골의 흡수가 있었음을 보여주고 있으나, laser를 이용한 microgroove 가 부여된 임플랜트에서는 collar의 거칠기와 laser microtexturing 등의 특징에 의해 임플랜트 주위 변연골의 흡수가 적게 일어난 것이 관찰되었다. 심미적인 요구도가 높은 전치부에서 충분한 생물학적 폭경이 확보된 임플랜트를 식립할 경우 변연골의 흡수에 따른 치은퇴축에 의해 metal collar의 노출이 우려되기에 충분한 생물학적 폭경이 부여되지 않은 임플랜트를 선정하게 되는데 이때 collar에서의 laser microtexturing은 변연골의 유지에 도움이 되었다. 이것은 조직의 단단한 부착으로 인한 안정화로 추정해 볼 수 있는데, 이에 대해서는 더 장기간의 연구와 더 많은 수의 임플랜트를 대상으로 한 연구와 조직학적인 연구도 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare straight and tapered implant designs in terms of marginal bone loss, the modified plaque index (mPI), and the modified bleeding index (mBI) for 5 years after functional loading. Methods: Twelve patients were recruited. Two types of implants were placed adjacent to each other: 1 straight implant and 1 tapered implant. Marginal bone loss, mPI, and mBI were measured every year for 5 years after loading. Results: The straight implants showed 0.2±0.4 mm of marginal bone loss at 5 years after loading, while the tapered implants showed 0.2±0.3 mm of marginal bone loss; this difference was not statistically significant (P=0.833). Our analysis also showed no statistically significant differences in mPI (straight implants: 0.3±0.3 vs. tapered implants: 0.2±0.3; P=0.414) or in mBI (straight implants: 0.3±0.4 vs. tapered implants: 0.2±0.3; P=0.317) at 5 years after prosthesis delivery. Conclusions: Straight and tapered implants showed no significant differences with respect to marginal bone loss, mPI, and mBI for 5 years after loading.

Statement of problem: It was reported high success rate of implant-supported fixed prostheses using with $5{\sim}6$ implants on anterior mandible. Recently, immediate loading protocol was focused to overcome disadvantages of classic 2-stage delayed loading protocol. Purpose: This clinical study was to evaluate stability changes with time of immediately loaded and delayed loaded implants in edentulous mandible and to compare stability changes with time according to implantation sites. Materials and methods: Five or six implants were placed on anterior mandible depending on the arch shape. The immediately loading group was consisted of 8 patients received their prostheses within $24{\sim}48$ hours after implantation. The delayed loading group was consisted of 8 patients received their definitive prostheses following classical prosthetic procedures after a healing period of 3 months. All patients were recalled every 6 months for check-up. The evaluations of radiographic examination, ISQ value measurement and recording of complication were done. To evaluate marginal bone level, intraoral periapical radiographs were taken with long cone paralleling technique. At every evaluation recall, all prostheses were removed and ISQ values were measured with OsstellTM on individual implants. Results: 1. None of implants was failed. All implants showed stable marginal bone levels and ISQ values. 2. Marginal bone level changes with time showed statistically significant difference between immediately loading group and delayed loading group (P<0.001). 3. ISQ value changes with time did not show statistically significant difference between immediately loading group and delayed loading group (P=0.079). ISQ value decreased with time in both groups, however, all implants showed stable ISQ value at 30 months-recall evaluation. 4. Marginal bone level changes with time did not show statistically significant differences among implantation sites (P=0.604). 5. ISQ value changes with time showed statistically significant differences among implantation sites (P=0.047). ISQ values of most posterior implants decreased with time comparing to other implants. Conclusion: Although the marginal bone level of the terminal abutment didn't different with the other implants, ISQ value of the terminal abutment was lower than that of the other implants. Therefore, further clinical evaluation would be needed in this point of view.

Purpose: The stability of periodontal condition and marginal bone level were important to achieve long-term success of dental implant treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate periodontal conditions and marginal bone loss around 67 GSII(OSSTEM, Seoul, Korea) dental implants with dual-microthread at the neck portion, 1 year after prosthetic loading. Materials and methods: Sixty-seven GS II dental implants in 27 patients(mean age; $47.4{\pm}14.0$ years) who received implant treatments at Pusan National University Hospital, were included in this study. Thirteen US II(OSSTEM, Seoul, Korea) implants with smooth neck design were selected for the control group. Periodontal and radiographic evaluations were carried out at baseline, 6 months and 12 months after prosthetic loading. Results: In the GS II group, plaque index(PI), gingival index(GI) and probing depth(PD) increased as time passed. In the US II group, GI and PD increased. Although marginal bone level was lower in the US II group in all evaluation periods, the changes between the periods were not statistically significant(p>0.05). In each period, periodontal parameters were not statistically significant between groups. Conclusion: One year after prosthetic loading, GS II and US II dental implants showed similar periodontal conditions and marginal bone response, and were within the criteria of success.
