This study aims to describe the clinical experience of single and bridge crowns fabricated using a cementless screw-retained implant prosthesis system. In the case of single crown (#37), regular link (HDL) was used, and bridge crowns (#15~#24), (#26~#27), (#17~#14) (#24~#26) were fabricated by selecting regular link and short link considering the vertical height. One abutment was hex shaped to ensure that it could be mounted while preventing insertion and prosthesis rotation. The advantages of cementless implant prosthesis include shorter chair time and periodic care, strong retention with LINK abutment, safety from inflammation, bacterial infection, and complications due to peri-implant cement, and high patient satisfaction. Dentists should double-check the position of the implant fixture and dental technicians should continuously manage the fit of the link and prosthesis with digital equipment to reduce screw loosening and fractures.

PURPOSE. To evaluate the cumulative survival rate (CSR) and mechanical complications of single-tooth $Ankylos^{(R)}$ implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS. This was a retrospective clinical study that analyzed 450 single $Ankylos^{(R)}$ implants installed in 275 patients between December 2005 and December 2012. The main outcomes were survival results CSR and implant failure) and mechanical complications (screw loosening, fracture, and cumulative fracture rate [CFR]). The main outcomes were analyzed according to age, sex, implant length or diameter, bone graft, arch, and position. RESULTS. The 8-year CSR was 96.9%. Thirteen (2.9%) implants failed because of early osseointegration failure in 3, marginal bone loss in 6, and abutment fracture in 4. Screw loosening occurred in 10 implants (2.2%), and 10 abutment fractures occurred. All abutment fractures were located in the neck, and concurrent screw fractures were observed. The CSR and rate of screw loosening did not differ significantly according to factors. The CFR was higher in middle-aged patients (5.3% vs 0.0% in younger and older patients); for teeth in a molar position (5.8% vs 0.0% for premolar or 1.1% for anterior position); and for larger-diameter implants (4.5% for 4.5 mm and 6.7% for 5.5 mm diameter vs 0.5% for 3.5 mm diameter) (all P<.05). CONCLUSION. The $Ankylos^{(R)}$ implant is suitable for single-tooth restoration in Koreans. However, relatively frequent abutment fractures (2.2%) were observed and some fractures resulted in implant failures. Middle-aged patients, the molar position, and a large implant diameter were associated with a high incidence of abutment fracture.

Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the prevalence of early implant failure using a single implant system and to identify the factors contributing to early implant failure. Methods: Patients who received implant treatment with a single implant system ($Luna^{(R)}$, Shinhung, Seoul, Korea) at Dankook University Dental Hospital from 2015 to 2017 were enrolled. The following data were collected for analysis: sex and age of the patient, seniority of the surgeon, diameter and length of the implant, position in the dental arch, access approach for sinus-floor elevation, and type of guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedure. The effect of each predictor was evaluated using the crude hazard ratio and the adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) in univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses, respectively. Results: This study analyzed 1,031 implants in 409 patients, who comprised 169 females and 240 males with a median age of 54 years (interquartile range [IQR], 47-61 years) and were followed up for a median of 7.2 months (IQR, 5.6-9.9 months) after implant placement. Thirty-five implants were removed prior to final prosthesis delivery, and the cumulative survival rate in the early phase at the implant level was 95.6%. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that seniority of the surgeon (residents: aHR=2.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.37-5.94) and the jaw in which the implant was placed (mandible: aHR=2.31; 95% CI, 1.12-4.76) exerted statistically significant effects on early implant failure after adjusting for sex, age, dimensions of the implant, and type of GBR procedure (preoperative and/or simultaneous) (P<0.05). Conclusions: Prospective studies are warranted to further elucidate the factors contributing to early implant failure. In the meantime, surgeons should receive appropriate training and carefully select the bone bed in order to minimize the risk of early implant failure.

Transitional implants were developed to support provisional restorations and to allow for load-free osseointegration of conventional implants while a patient was provided with immediate esthetics and function and are usually placed simultaneously at the time of definitive implant placement. Transitional implants are placed in a non-submerged fashion in a single-stage surgery and are designed to be immediately loaded. They generally are made of commercially pure titanium or titanium alloy and are designed as 1-piece implants composed of root and crown replacement segments. Transitional implants can be used in a wide range of indications, such as basic use as temporary implant, to support and protect the primary implants during the healing phase, single crown in the edentulous anterior region of mandibular, anchorage for orthodontic treatment, support a surgical and radiographic template, and primary implant to extremely atrophied alveolar crests of the mandible and maxilla. This article describes the clinical use of transitional implants to support the provisional complete denture and single crown in the restricted edenturous central incisor region of mandible.

단일 치아의 인상채득을 위해서는 바이트 트레이를 이용한 폐구인상법이 선호된다. 그러나 임플란트 인상채득을 위해서는 단일치와 다수치 구분 없이 편악 트레이를 이용한 개구인상법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 바이트 트레이를 이용하는 폐구인상법은 시간이 절약되고 재료가 적게 들며, 모형의 교합기 부착 시 상하악 악간 위치 관계 오차 발생 확률이 적다. 본 증례에서는 2 가지 종류의 폐구인상용 코핑을 이용해 바이트 트레이로 인상채득 후 단일 임플란트 고정성 보철물을 제작함에 있어 만족할 만한 결과를 얻어 보고하고자 한다.

이 연구는 다수의 임플란트에 의해 지지되는 보철물과 단일 임플란트 보철물에서 호환 가능한 세 가지 종류의 나사의 풀림토크값을 측정하여 나사 결합부 안정성에 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 네 개의 외부 육각 임플란트에 직접 연결되는 임플란트 상부구조물을, 아크릴릭 레진을 이용한 연결인상법으로 얻은 총 6개의 실험모형에 20 Ncm의 힘으로 조인 후, 각 나사의 풀림토크값을 총 2회 측정하였다. 사용한 지대주 나사는 토크타이트(TorqTite), 골드타이트(Gold-Tite), 그리고, 티타늄(Titanium) 나사였다. 또한, 단일 임플란트 수복의 경우 를 가정하여 총 5개의 실험모형 상의 2개의 임플란트에, 한 개의 지대주(GoldAdapt Engaging)를 다시 세 종류의 나사로 연결한 후, 각 나사의 풀림토크값을 총 2회 측정하였다. 나사의 풀림토크값의 비교를 위한 통계적 분석을 혼합모형(mixed model)을 이용하여 유의수준 .05에서 실시한 결과, 다수 임플란트 지지 상부구조물의 경우, 나사의 종류에 따른 풀림토크값은 통계적으로 유의성 있는 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 그러나 단일 임플란트 지대주의 경우에는 통계적으로 유의성 있는 차이를 보였으며(p=0.0175), 토크타이트 나사(p=0.0462)와 티타늄 나사(p=0.0348)는 각각, 골드타이트 나사보다 유의성 있게 큰 풀림토크값을 보였으나, 두 나사 간에는 유의성 있는 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 이상의 연구 결과로 보아, 서로 다른 종류의 나사가 나사 결합부의 초기 안정성에 미치는 영향은, 단일 임플란트 보철물의 경우에서와는 달리, 다수의 임플란트에 의해 지지되는 보철물의 경우에는 미미하다고 할 수 있다.

A dynamic fatigue characteristic of dental implant system has been evaluated with applying single axial compressive shear loading based on the ISO 14801 standard. For the advanced dynamic fatigue test, multi-directional force and motion needed to be accompanied for more information of mechanical properties as based on mastication in oral environment. In this study, we have prepared loading and motion protocol for the multi-directional fatigue test of dental implant system with single (Apical/Occlusal; AO), and additional mastication motion (Lingual/Facial; LF, Mesial/Distal; MD). As following the prepared protocol (with modification of ISO 14801), fatigue test was conducted to verify the worst case results for the development of highly stabilized dental implant system. Mechanical testing was performed using an universal testing machine (MTS Bionix 858, MN, USA) for static compression and single directional loading fatigue, while the multi-directional loading was performed with joint simulator (ADL-Force 5, MA, USA) under load control. Basically, all mechanical test was performed according to the ISO 14801:2016 standard. Static compression test was performed to identify the maximum fracture force with loading speed of 1.0 mm/min. A dynamic fatigue test was performed with 40 % value of maximum fracture force and 5 Hz loading frequency. A single directional fatigue test was performed with only apical/occlusal (AO) force application, while multi directional fatigue tests were applied $2^{\circ}$ of facial/lingual (FL) or mesial/distal (MD) movement. Fatigue failure cycles were entirely different between applying single-directional loading and multi-directional loading. As a comparison of these loading factor, the failure cycle was around 5 times lower than single-directional loading while applied multi-directional loading. Also, the displacement change with accumulated multi-directional fatigue cycles was higher than that of single directional cycles.
