Statement of problem. Accurate impression is essential to success of implant prostheses. But there have been few studies about the accuracy of fixture-level impression techniques in internal connection implant systems. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of two fixture-level impression techniques in two conditions (parallel and divergent) and to assess the effect of tightening sequences and forces on stresses generated on superstructures in internal connection implant system (Astra Tech). Material and methods. Two metal master frameworks made from two abutments (Cast-to Abutment ST) each and a corresponding, passively fitting, dental stone master cast with four fixture replicas (Fixture Replica ST) were fabricated. Ten dental stone casts for each impression techniques (direct unsplinted & splinted technique) were made with vinyl polysiloxane impressions from the master cast. Strain gauges for each framework were fixed midway between abutments to measure the degree of framework deformation on each stone cast. Pairs of strain gauges placed opposite each other constituted one channel (half Wheatstone bridge) to read deformation in four directions (superior, inferior, anterior, and posterior). Deformation data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and the Tukey test at the .01 level of significance. And the effect of tightening sequences (right-to-left and left-to-right) and forces (10 Ncm and 20 Ncm) were assessed with ten stone casts made from parallel condition by the splinted technique. Deformation data were analyzed using paired t-test at the .01 level of significance. Conclusions. Within the limitations of this study, the following conclusions could be drawn. 1. Frameworks bent toward the inferior side on all casts made by both direct unsplinted and splinted impression techniques in both parallel and divergent conditions. 2. There was no statistically significant difference of accuracy between the direct unsplinted and splinted impression techniques in both parallel and divergent conditions (P>.01). 3. There was no statistically significant difference of stress according to screw tightening sequences in casts made by the splinted impression technique in parallel condition (P>.01). 4. Greater tightening force resulted in greater stress in casts made by the splinted impression technique in parallel condition (P<.01).

In this study, to confirm the effects of the mixed load of normal and shear forces acting on a fixing bolt, fatigue design criteria were developed by varying the loading angle and conducting tensile and fatigue tests. After evaluating and comparing the test results under different loading angles, the evaluation criteria were selected. These evaluation criteria were then applied to develop the design criteria. An Arcan fixture was designed and manufactured to simultaneously apply a mixed load of normal and shear forces to the fixing bolt of a turntable, and a fatigue test was conducted. S-N diagrams for various loading angles were obtained, and a 1% P-S-N diagram of failure probability was determined using statistical processing techniques. Our results show that failures of the fixing bolt can be prevented using these diagrams as a basis for developing fatigue design criteria.

PURPOSE. This study aims to evaluate the loosening torque on the implant fixture, and to assess the accuracy of difference electronic torque drivers. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Three electronic torque drivers were used to measure the loosening torque on the implant system (AnyOne; MegaGen). The implant fixtures were divided among the 3 electronic torque driver types (W&H, SAESHIN, and NSK group) and 9 for each group. The screws were fastened at the implant fixture by three electronic torque drivers using the tightening torques recommended by the manufacturers of the drivers. After 10 minutes, the screws were again fastened at the implant fixture with equal torque. Then, the loosening torques were measured with an MGT12 torque gauge (MARK-10, Inc.). This measurement procedure was repeated 10 times under loosening torques of 15 Ncm, 25 Ncm, and 35 Ncm. In the statistical analysis, all values of loosening torque were analyzed with the one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test (α=.05) for comparative evaluation. RESULTS. There were significant inter-group differences at loosening torques of 15 Ncm and 25 Ncm (P<.05). The accuracy of the NSK driver was the highest, followed by SAESHIN and W&H. There was no significant difference between NSK and W&H at 35 Ncm (P>.05). The SAESHIN driver showed the closest loosening torque at 35 Ncm. CONCLUSION. The most accurate loosening torques were SAESHIN at 35 Ncm, and NSK at 15 Ncm and 25 Ncm. Since the loosening torque may vary depending on the tightening torques and electronic torque drivers, periodic calibration of the electronic torque driver is recommended.

Background: All clinicians are aware of the difficulty of installing a dental implant in posterior maxilla because of proximate position of maxillary sinus, insufficient bone width, and lower bone density. This study is to examine which factors will make the implantation in the posterior maxilla more difficult, and which factors will affect the postoperative implant stability in this region. Methods: Five hundred seventy-three fixtures on the maxilla posterior were included for this study from all the patients who underwent an installation of the dental implant fixture from January 2010 to December 2014 at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Pusan National University Dental Hospital (Yangsan, Korea). The postoperative implant stability quotient (ISQ) value, fixture diameter and length, presence of either bone graft or sinus lift, and graft material were included in the reviewed factors. The width and height of the bone bed was assessed via preoperative cone beam CT image analysis. The postoperative ISQ value was taken just before loading by using the OsstellTM $mentor^{(R)}$ (Integration Diagnostics AB, Gothenburg, Sweden). The t test and ANOVA methods were used in the statistical analysis of the data. Results: Mean ISQ of all the included data was 79.22. Higher initial bone height, larger fixture diameter, and longer fixture length were factors that influence the implant stability on the posterior edentulous maxilla. On the other hand, the initial bone width, bone graft and sinus elevation procedure, graft material, and approach method for sinus elevation showed no significant impact associated with the implant stability on the posterior edentulous maxilla. Conclusions: It is recommended to install the fixtures accurately in a larger diameter and longer length by performing bone graft and sinus elevation.

장비나 부품이 비행 또는 수송 등 실제상황에서 겪게되는 진동환경에 얼마만큼 견디는지 여부를 확인하고, 예상되는 동적 하중에 의한 성능저하나 오 동작이 일어나지 알는지 확인하기 위해 환경진동시험(environmental vibration test)이 수행된다. 이러한 환경진동시험의 경우에는 대형(대용량)의 진동시험기(shaker 또는 exciter)가 이용되며 진동시험기로부터 에너지를 시험물에 기계적으로 전달시켜줄 수 있는 진동 시험치구(이하, "치구(fixture)")가 필요하게 된다. 따라서 치구의 설계문제가 대두되며, 환경진동시험의 성공여부를 좌우하는데 대단히 중요한 역할을 하게 된다. 치구의 설계시 가장 중요한 점은 시험규격에 정해진 기준스펙트럼(specified reference spectrum)이 치구 위에 설치될 여러 시험물부착점들에 그대로 전달될 수 있는 강체치구(rigid fixture)를 설계하는 것이 가장 이상적이지만 치구의 공진 및 반공진 특성으로 인해 시험물부착점들 마다 스펙트럼이 달라지게 된다. 따라서 시험물은 과대시험(overtest) 또는/그리고 과소시험(undertest)를 겪게된다.최근의 진동시험제어 기법으로서는 다채널시스템을 이용한 여러 시험부착점들에서의 진동레벨의 평균을 제어하는 평균제어기법(average control technique)이 이용되므로서 시험주파수 범위에서 공진진동수(resonance frequency)들은 기준스펙트럼과 동일하게 제어가 가능하나 반공진 진동수(antiresonance frequency)들에서는 반공진 진동수들이 갖는 물리적 특성으로 인해 기준스펙트럼과 동일하게 제어가 이루어지지 않으므로시험규격에 정해진 정확한 진동시험이 수행되지 못하게된다.본 연구에서는 치구의 설계단계에서 치구 위의 여러 시험물 부착점들- 평균제어점(average control points)- 에서의 반공진 진동수들을 고려하여 그 감도를 게산하고, 치구의 구조변경을 수행하여 시험물 부착점들에서의 반공진 진동수를 일치시키므로서 종래의 진동시험제어시 나타나는 반공진진동수에서의 문제점을 제거할 수 있고, 그 결과 시험물 부착점들에서의 스펙트럼이 시험규격에 정해진 스펙트럼대로 진동시험이 수행될 수 있게 하는데 있다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reaction mechanism of soil and bacteria solution by various mixing ratios. For this purpose, in order to understand the reaction mechanisms of microorganisms and weathered granite soil, the tests were carried out under various mixing ratios additives such as soil, bacteria solution, $Ca(OH)_2$ and fixture. The test results from this study are summarized as follows. Firstly, the reaction between the bacteria solution and fixture produced a precipitate called vaterite, a type of silicate and calcium carbonate. Secondly, as a result of SEM analysis, the resulting precipitates generated from the test results using the specimens with various mixing ratios except SW condition and the irregular spherical microscopic shapes were formed in the size of $150{\mu}m$ to $20{\mu}m$. In addition, it can be seen that the bacteria solution and the fixture reacted between the granules to form an adsorbent material layer on the surface, and the microorganisms had a biological solidifying effect when the pores are combined into hard particles. Finally, The XRD analysis of the sediment resulting from the reaction between the microorganism and the deposit control agent confirmed the presence of a type of calcium carbonate ($CaCO_3$) vaterite, which affects soil strength formation, as well as silicate($SiO_2$).

Gravitational centers of precise spinning components must coincide with the rotational centers of those to reduce noise and vibration and to extend those lift as well. Therefore quality control should be performed in the manufacturing process, in which the unbalance moments are accurately measured. In this paper 3-point weighing method is adopted to measure the unbalance moment of small-sized precision spinning elements using electronic scales with 0.1 mg resolution. Firstly methods to eliminate the fixture error and to reduce the effects of frictional force that is known as side effect, are proposed. A measuring system is developed and various experiments are performed to verify the proposed approach. The measured and calculated values are analysed in statistical methods, and this provides the errors of the measuring system. The results show that the proposed theory and test procedures gives reliable unbalance moments and gravitational centers.
