타이타늄의 내부식 특성은 분해하기 어려운 산화물의 보호피막을 형성 함으로서 무독성의 생체친화적 성질을 가지고 있어 심장밸브, 인공 뼈 등 신체 조직의 이식에 사용될 만큼 인체에 무해한 금속으로 의료용으로 많이 응용되고 있다. 본 강연에서는 생체재료로써 의료용 타이타늄의 적용현황을 소개하고, 이를 통해 타이타늄의 가치를 다시 한번 재고하고자 한다. 타이타늄 임플란트에서 그 표면과 골사이의 골유착(osseointegration)은 성공적인 임상결과를 얻기 위한 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. 1960년대에는 기계가공 된 매끈한 형태의 타이타늄 표면을 시작으로 골유착을 얻고자 하였다. 이러한 시도를 통해 임플란트가 점차 대중화 되면서 1980년대 부터 타이타늄 표면과 골과의 유착을 조기에 실현하고, 골유착 강도를 강화하기 위해 다양한 표면기술이 개발 되기 시작하였다. 크게는 1. 표면적 증대 기술, 2. 화학적 방식을 통한 표면기술, 3. 생체활성 유도형 표면기술, 4. 서방출 등을 응용한 골유도 및 활성 조절형 표면기술 등이 개발되어 제품화 되거나 그 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 다양한 표면기술에 대한 흐름을 이해하고 이에 대한 장, 단점을 이해함으로써 앞으로 기술적으로 극복해 나가야 할 과제를 제시하고자 한다. 또한 다양한 표면기술에 대한 유효성과 그에 대한 중, 장기 안전성에 대한 중요성을 이해하고 이를 평가하기 위한 여러 가지 절차와 방법 소개를 통해 신뢰성 있는 연구개발이 될 수 있기 바란다.

Objective : This is to report the effectiveness of intraoral distraction osteogenesis, iliac bone graft for alveolar augmentation in the extremely atrophied alveolar defects after infected allobone grafted area. Subjects and Methods : Anterior segmental osteotomy was performed and the trans-oral alveolar distractors (Martin, Germany) were applied in patient with the severe acquired anterior mandibular and mandibular defect after ameloblastoma enucleation. Iliac bone grafts were performed in defect sites and distraction osteogenesis were treated. After latent period for 1 week, the osteomized alveolar segments were distracted by 0.75 mm a day (0.25 mm/1 turn) for 10 days The consolidation period was about 12 weeks. Thereafter, 2 titanium threaded implants were simultaneously installed with removal of distractor. For oral rehabilitiation, The implants were installed in maxilla, mandible. It was tested with clinically and radiographically. Results : Amounts of acquired alveolar bone were 10 mm with the increased width of the ridge crests and soft tissue expansion. Dental implants installated on the augmented alveolar ridges in 12 weeks after distraction were confirmed as in good osseointegration and in good function without any complications. Conclusion : Intraoral distraction osteogenesis can be a good option for alveolar ridge augmentation of the severely atrophied ridges and soft-tissue defects.

PURPOSE. Implant stability quotient (ISQ) values have been supposed to predict implant stability. However, the relationship between ISQ values and bone-to-implant contact ratio (BIC%) which is one of the predictors of implant stability is still unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate initial ISQ values in relation to BIC% using rabbit model. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Four New Zealand white rabbits received a total of 16 implants in their tibia. Immediately after implant placement ISQ values were assessed. The measurements were repeated at the time of sacrifice of the rabbits after 4 weeks. Peri-implant bone regeneration was assessed histomorphometrically by measuring BIC% and bone volume to total volume values (bone volume %). The relationships between ISQ values and the histomorphometric output were assessed, and then, the osseointegration prediction model via the initial ISQ values was processed. RESULTS. Initial ISQ values showed significant correlation with the BIC%. The bone volume % did not show any significant association with the ISQ values. CONCLUSION. In the limitation of this study, resonance frequency analysis is a useful clinical method to predict the BIC% values and examine the implant stability.

The advent of osseointegration and advances in biomaterials and techniques have contributed to increased application of dental implants in the restoration of maxillary partial edentulous patients. Often, in these patients, soft and hard tissue defects result from a variety of causes, such as infection, trauma, and tooth loss. These create an anatomically less favorable foundation for ideal implant placement. Reconstruction of the atrophic maxillary alveolar bone through a variety of regenerative surgical procedures has become predictable; it may be necessary prior to implant placement or simultaneously at the time of implant surgery to provide a restoration with a good long-term prognosis. Regenerative procedures are used for horizontal and vertical ridge augmentation. Many different techniques exist for effective bone augmentation. The approach is largely dependent on the extent of the defect and specific procedures to be performed for the implant reconstruction. It is most appropriate to use an evidenced-based approach when a treatment plan is being developed for bone augmentation cases. The cases presented in this article clinically demonstrate the efficacy of using a autogenous block graft, guided bone regeneration, ridge split, immediated implant placement technique on the atrophic maxillary area.

PURPOSE: The application of computer-aided technology to implant dentistry has created new opportunities for treatment planning, surgery and prosthodontic treatment, but the correct selection and combination of available methods may be challenging in times. Hence, the purpose of this case report is to present a combination of several computer-aided tools as approaches to manage complicated implant case. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A 47 year-old female patient with severe dental anxiety, high expectations, financial restrictions and poor compliance presented for a fixed rehabilitation. A CT scan with a radiographic template obtained with software (SimPlant, Materialize, Leuven, Belgium) was used for treatment planning. The surgical plan was created and converted into a stereolithographic model of the maxilla with bone-supported surgical templates (SurgiGuide, Materialise, Leuven, Belgium), that allowed for the precise placement of 7 implants in a severely resorbed edentulous maxilla. After successful osseointegration, an accurate scan model served as the basis for the fabrication of a one-piece milled titanium framework using the Procera (Nobel Biocare, Gothenburg, Sweden) technology. The final rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla was rendered in the form of a screw-retained maxillary metal-reinforced resin-based complete prosthesis. RESULTS: Despite challenging circumstances, 7 implants could be placed without bone augmentation in a severely resorbed maxilla using the SimPlant software for pre-implant analysis and the SurgiGuide-system as the surgical template. The patient was successfully restored with a fixed full arch restoration, utilizing the Procera system for the fabrication of a milled titanium framework.

A boundary integral equation method in the shape design sensitivity analysis is developed for the elasticity problems with axisymmetric non-homogeneous bodies. Functionals involving displacements and tractions at the zonal interface are considered. Sensitivity formula in terms of the interface shape variation is then derived by taking derivative of the boundary integral identity. Adjoint problem is defined such that displacement and traction discontinuity is imposed at the interface. Analytic example for a compound cylinder is taken to show the validity of the derived sensitivity formula. In the numerical implementation, solutions at the interface for the primal and adjoint system are used for the sensitivity. While the BEM is a natural tool for the solution, more generalization should be made since it should handle the jump conditions at the interface. Accuracy of the sensitivity is evaluated numerically by the same compound cylinder problem. The endosseous implant-bone interface problem is considered next as a practical application, in which the stress value is of great importance for successful osseointegration at the interface. As a preliminary step, a simple model with tapered cylinder is considered in this paper. Numerical accuracy is shown to be excellent which promises that the method can be used as an efficient and reliable tool in the optimization procedure for the implant design. Though only the axisymmetric problem is considered here, the method can be applied to general elasticity problems having interface.

Titanium for dental implant application has the superior properties of biocompatibility, specific strength, and corrosion resistance. However, it is extremely difficult to find a suitable surface treatment method for sufficient osseointegration with biological tissue/bone cell and implant surface. Surface treatment technology using laser has been researched as the way to increase surface area of implant. In this study, to develop the surface treatment process with improved adhesion between implant and bone cell at the same time for superior biocompatibility, pulsed laser beam was overlapped continuously for scribed surface morphology and determination of friction coefficient. As the results, surface area and friction coefficient was increased over 2 times by the comparison with sand blasting, which is used for the conventional method. In this time, the optimal condition for laser beam power and beam irradiation speed was 13 watt and 50 mm/sec, respectively.

Titanium (Ti) has been widely used for dental implant due to great biocompatibility and bonding ability against natural alveolar bone. A lot of titanium surface modification has been introduced in dentistry and, among them, methods to introduce micro/nano-roughened surface were considered as clinically approved strategy for accelerating osseointegration of Ti dental implant. To have synergetic effect with topography oriented favors in cell attachment, chair-side surface treatment with reproducibility of micro/nano-topography is introduced as next strategy to further enhance cellular functionalities. Extensive research has been investigated to study the potential of micro/nano-topography preserved chair-side surface treatment for Ti dental implant. This review will discuss ultraviolet, low level of laser therapy and non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma on Ti dental implant with micro/nano-topography as next generation of surface treatment due to its abilities to induce super-hydrophilicity or biofunctionality without change of topographical cues.

Since the concept of a direct contact between bone and implants, without interposed soft- tissue layers, was reported by Dr. $Br{\aa}nemark$, there has been increasing necessity for correct under-standing of bone-implant interface and surrounding tissue response. Beside quality of bone, surgical technique, load applied to implants, one must consider implant materials, design and surface characteristics to obtain osseointegration. In this study HA plasma-sprayed implants, TPS implants and $Al_2O_3$ implants were inserted into the alveolar bone of dog and tissue response was observed with radiograph, stereoscope, light microscope, and scanning electron microscope. Results were as follows : 1. There was rapid and active bone formation in the region adjacent to HA plasma-sprayed implants but in the deep supporting bone only slight bone formation was seen. 2. There was considerable lamella bone formation in the region adjacent to TPS implants and the deep supporting bone became more compact. 3. There was some gap and sclerosing bone formation in the adjacent region of $Al_2O_3$ implants, but there was irregular new bone formation in the deep supporting bone. Therefore, it seems that $Al_2O_3$ is not adequate for osseointegrated implants.
