Abstract

To assess the stress distribution of implant prosthesis induced by intentional misfit using photoelastic model. Stress was measured at the surrounding bone after applying vertical load to the implant. Three implants were placed in each of three photoelastic resin blocks. No misfits were used for the control group, while for the experimental group $100{\mu}m$ misfit after cutting the crown was used. The photoelastic stress analysis was performed. In control group, stress concentration was not shown when the load was not applied, whereas stress concentration was shown only in the loaded part even when load was applied and the stress was distributed in anterior-posterior direction when applying a load in the middle. When intentional misfits were given, stress around the fixture was incurred when tightening the screw even if load was not applied. If the load was applied, stress was concentrated around the implants including areas where the load was applied. In particular, the prosthesis made of UCLA showed more stress concentration as compared with a conical abutment. In the UCLA case, concentration was shown from the apex following through the axis to the cervical area. Prosthesis with misfit makes the stress concentrated though the load was not applied and it induces even more severe stress concentration when the load was applied. This founding demonstrates the importance of the correct prosthesis production.

임플란트 보철물에 의도적으로 불량 적합을 부여하고, 수직 하중을 가한 후 주변골에 발생되는 응력의 분포를 광탄성 모델을 이용하여 비교 하는 것이다. 광탄성 레진블록 3개를 제작하고 각각에 3개의 Restore$^{(R)}$ $4.0{\times}10$ mm 임플란트를 식립하였다. 대조군은 부적합이 없도록 제작하였고, 실험군은 각각의 금관을 절단하여 $100{\mu}m$의 부적합을 부여한 후 광탄성 응력분석을 시행하였다. 대조군의 경우 하중을 가하지 않으면 응력 집중을 보이지 않았으며, 하중을 가하더라도 그 부위만 응력 집중을 보였고, 중간에 하중을 가하면 전후방으로 응력이 분산되는 양상을 보였다. 의도적으로 부적합을 부여한 경우 하중을 가하지 않더라도 나사를 조이면 고정체 주위에 응력이 발생했고, 하중을 가한 경우 하중을 가한 부위를 포함하여 주변 임플란트에도 응력이 집중되었다. 특히, UCLA로 제작된 보철물이 원추형 중간 지대주를 사용한 경우에 비해 더욱 응력이 집중되었는데, 치근단에서 시작하여 치축을 따라 치경부까지 집중되었다. 보철물의 적합도가 좋지 않은 경우 하중을 가하지 않더라도 응력이 집중되며, 하중을 가할 경우 더욱 심한 응력 집중 양상을 보인다는 점은 정확한 보철물 제작의 중요성을 말하고 있다.
