Statement of problem. Wear as a result of repeated closing/opening cycles may decrease the friction coefficient of screw head, threads, and other mating components and, consequently, resistance to opening gradually decreases. It may cause screw loosening, which is one of the most common failures in implant prosthesis. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the changes on the head and thread surface of the abutment screws after repeated closing and opening through the examination of tested screws in SEM(scanning electron microscope). Materials and methods. Five species of abutments were selected (3i-three, Avana-two) respectively by two pieces. The implant fixtures were perpendicularly mounted in liquid unsaturated polyesther(Epovia, Cray Valley Inc.) with dental surveyor. Each abutment was secured to the implant fixture by each abutment screw with recommended torque value using a digital torque controller. The abutment screws were repeatedly tightened and removed 20 times with a digital controller. FESEM (field emission scanning electron microscope, Netherland, Phillips co., model:XL 30 SFEG) was used to observe changes of each part caused by repeatedly closing/opening expeiment. First, the Photomicrographs of pre-test screws provided by each manufacturer were taken. The changes of each screw were investigated after every fifth closing and opening experiment with FESEM. Scaning electron microscope photomicrographs of each screw were taken four times. Results. As the number of closing and opening was increased, the wear or distortion of hexed or squared slot that contacted with the driver tip was more severely progressed. Wear or distortion of hexed slot was more severe than that of squared slot and it was more remarkable in the titanium screw than in the gold screw. All the tested screws showed that the width in the crest of their screw thread decreased gradually as the test was proceeded. Conclusions. Conclusively, we recommend the clinical use of gold screw, a periodic exchanges of abutment screws and avoiding repeated closing/opening unnecessarily. We also suggest a more careful manipulation of the abutment screw and screw-driver and using of abutment screw with an acute-angled slot design rather than an obtuse-angled one. Finally, it is suggested that the new slot design and the surface treatment for enduring wear or distortion should be devised.

일반적으로 자연하천은 수심에 비해 하폭이 크고 완만한 곡률을 나타내므로 2차원 수치모형이 실용적인 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 만곡수로의 흐름특성을 분석하기 위하여 2차원 부정류의 운동방정식과 연속방정식을 차분화하고 Double Sweep 알고리즘에 의한 수치해석모형을 개발하였다. 본 모형의 적용성을 입증하기 위해 L.F.M 실험수로 및 I.I.H.R 실험수로의 실측치와 비교하여 비교적 잘 일치함을 확인할 수 있었다. 벽면마찰의 영향을 감소시키기 위하여 Chezy 계수의 적절한 조정으로 실측치에 더욱 접근된 결과치를 얻을 수 있었으며, 이류항의 영향을 분석하였다. 만곡수로내의 수면형태, 최대유속선이 이동경로 및 깊이방향 평균유속의 크기와 방향을 계산할 수 있었다.
