PURPOSE. The objective of this study was to conduct an in vitro comparative evaluation of polished and laser-dimpled titanium (Ti) surfaces to determine whether either surface has an advantage in promoting the attachment of epithelial-like cells and fibroblast to Ti. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Forty-eight coin-shaped samples of commercially pure, grade 4 Ti plates were used in this study. These discs were cleaned to a surface roughness (Ra: roughness centerline average) of 180 nm by polishing and were divided into three groups: SM (n=16) had no dimples and served as the control, SM15 (n=16) had $5-{\mu}m$ dimples at $10-{\mu}m$ intervals, and SM30 (n=16) had $5-{\mu}m$ dimples at $25-{\mu}m$ intervals in a $2{\times}4mm^2$ area at the center of the disc. Human gingival squamous cell carcinoma cells (YD-38) and human lung fibroblasts (MRC-5) were cultured and used in cell proliferation assays, adhesion assays, immunofluorescent staining of adhesion proteins, and morphological analysis by SEM. The data were analyzed statistically to determine the significance of differences. RESULTS. The adhesion strength of epithelial cells was higher on Ti surfaces with $5-{\mu}m$ laser dimples than on polished Ti surfaces, while the adhesion of fibroblasts was not significantly changed by laser treatment of implant surfaces. However, epithelial cells and fibroblasts around the laser dimples appeared larger and showed increased expression of adhesion proteins. CONCLUSION. These findings demonstrate that laser dimpling may contribute to improving the peri-implant soft tissue barrier. This study provided helpful information for developing the transmucosal surface of the abutment.

본 논문에서는 부분적으로 파손된 치아의 수복에 사용되는 인레이/온레이 인공치아를 효과적으로 모델링하는 기법을 제안한다. 인레이/온레이는 지대치에 부착되는 내면과 밖으로 들어나는 외면으로 구성된다. 내면은 지대치와의 밀착력을 확보하기 위하여 지대치의 삭제된 표면의 확장된 부분으로 Minkowski sum을 이용하여 모델링된다. 외면을 모델링하기 위해서는 표준치아 모델, 환자 치아 석고모형을 스캔한 메쉬 자료, 환자 치아교합을 측정한 FGP(functionally guided plane) 등 세 가지 정보와 DMFFD(direct manipulation free-form deformation)[19]과 MWD(multiple wires deformation)[17]의 3D 메쉬 변형 기술들을 이용한다. 표준치아 모델은 외면의 기본적인 형태를 결정하기 위하여 사용되는 반면 석고모형 데이터와 FGP는 환자 치아 인접면과 교합면마다 약간 다르지만 정확한 기능에 매우 중요한 고유 특성을 반영하기 위해 사용되는 정보이다. 이러한 정보들을 입력으로 DMFFD 기법과 MWD 기법을 각각 적용하여 인레이/온레이 인접면과 교합면을 메쉬 자료로 자동으로 생성해낸다. 연구된 기법은 치과의사에 의한 요구사항을 반영하여 생성된 메쉬 모델을 가시화하면서 보다 정확하게 인레이/온레이를 디자인할 수 있도록 구현되었다.

Loss of dentition can lead to not only compromised esthetics and functions of the patient, but also alveolar bone resorption. Bone grafting with prosthetic reconstruction of the gingiva can be selected for the treatment, and it provides many benefits as prosthetic gingival reconstruction does not require a complicated surgical process and is available within a short period of time, with stable clinical results. However, conventional porcelain fused to metal prosthesis has certain limits due to its size, and deformation after several firing procedures. In this clinical report, the author would like to introduce a patient with severe alveolar resorption who was treated with gingiva-shaped zirconia/titanium CAD/CAM implant fixed prosthesis for esthetic and functional rehabilitation. Clinical reports Clinical report 1, 2 : A case of loss of anterior dentition with atrophied alveolar bone. Implant retained zirconia bridge applied with Procera implant bridge system to simulate the gingiva. Upper structure was fabricated with zirconia all ceramic crown. Clinical report 3, 4 : A case of atrophied maxillary alveolus was reconstructed with fixed implant prosthesis, a CAD/CAM designed titanium structure covered wi th resin on its surface. Anterior dentition was reconstructed with zirconia crown. Conclusion and clinical uses. All patients were satisfied with the outcome, and maintained good oral hygiene. Zirconia/titanium implant fixed prosthesis fabricated by CAD/CAM system was highly accurate and showed adequate histological response. No critical failure was seen on the implant fixture and abutment overall. Sites of severe alveolar bone loss can be rehabilitated by implant fixed prosthesis with CAD/CAM system. This type of prosthesis can offer artificial gingival structure and can give more satisfying esthetics and functions, and as a result the patients were able to accept the outcome more fondly, which makes us less than hard to think that it can be a more convenient treatment for the practitioners.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to compare the passivity of implant superstructures by assessing the strain development around the internal tapered connection implants with strain gauges. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A polyurethane resin block in which two implants were embedded served as a measurement model. Two groups of implant restorations utilized cement-retained design and internal surface of the first group was adjusted until premature contact between the restoration and the abutment completely disappeared. In the second group, only nodules detectable to the naked eye were removed. The third group employed screw-retained design and specimens were generated by computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing system (n=10). Four strain gauges were fixed on the measurement model mesially and distally to the implants. The strains developed in each strain gauge were recorded during fixation of specimens. To compare the difference among groups, repeated measures 2-factor analysis was performed at a level of significance of ${\alpha}$=.05. RESULTS. The absolute strain values were measured to analyze the magnitude of strain. The mean absolute strain value ranged from 29.53 to 412.94 ${\mu}m/m$ at the different strain gauge locations. According to the result of overall comparison, the cement-retained prosthesis groups exhibited significant difference. No significant difference was detected between milled screw-retained prostheses group and cement-retained prosthesis groups. CONCLUSION. Within the limitations of the study, it was concluded that the cement-retained designs do not always exhibit lower levels of stress than screw-retained designs. The internal adjustment of a cement-retained implant restoration is essential to achieve passive fit.

Statement of problem: Silicone Index Tooth Tray impression system which does not use gingicord has a shortcoming. It takes time to remove internal wall of Silicone Index Tooth Tray for space of wash impression material. Purpose: This study was to evaluate whether providing certain space to impression body can prevent from doing complicated laboratory work. Material and methods: After mounting metal dies with shoulder and chamfer margins arbiturarily, SITT was produced using $Blu-mousse^(R)$. In one experimental group, wash impression was taken using $Fit-tester^(R)$ without removing interior surface of SITT and in the other group, wash impression was taken using $Fit-tester^(R)$ providing 0.5mm space in the SITT and then compared the differences in two groups. Results: 1. There was no significant difference between a group which did not allow space and a group which granted equal 0.5mm space. 2. There was no significant difference between gingival diameter, occlusal diameter of metal die that has shoulder margin and gingival diameter, occlusal diameter of metal die that has chamfer margin. 3. There was no significant difference between a group which did not take pick-up impression and a group which took pick-up impression through relining method using SITT 4. There was no significant difference between a group that poured immediately after taking primary impression and a group that poured after removing poured stone die. Conclusions: When taking an impression of an abutment using SITT impression system, it is considered to obtain clinically identical results between a group that did not grant a 0.5mm space within SITT for wash impression and a group which invest a space. Furthermore, it is considered possible to produce an individual die through secondary pouring.

This study considers the proper repair techniques by examining the most representative repair cases of the Korean arch bridges and proposes the constructional manual which can apply similar occasions. The cases are Seonamsa Seungseongyo and Songgwangsa Geukrockgyo where this researcher had taken part in the repair works. This Study proposes the maintenance construction manual about the performance degradation drew by performance degradation of the both Korean arch bridges in the maintenance process. First, arch bridge maintenance should be carried out in the dry season, when water is impermeable in the bottom surface of the bridge. Moreover, risk factors of the maintenance should be excluded to secure the water vally flow, the bypass and the temporary bridge. Second, prior to repair, it has to precede (1)3D shooting (2)formal examination (3)structure safety test (4)geological and lithic surveys (5)arch curvature establishment and makeshift frame settlement before transformation (6)relationship expert comments. Third, if the baduk and the foundation stones are inevitable to replace due to performance degradation on the foundation, it should use the high quality stones and secure greater stress by extending the standard range. The foundation on irregular rock needs to be flattened and underside on the replaced materials require Grengyijil to deliver the equal loads. Fourth, In the process of dismantling the stones of the arched bridge, it could make heavy weathering degree and not reuse the materials. Charge should converge the expert advices to choose the reuseable, the conservate and the alternative materials, and increase the reutilization of the raw materials by preservation and reinforcement treatments. Fifth, the side wall should be repaired by the rubble work technique which is not able to pile compost satiety, so it must use long depth of masonary stones for reinforcement. It is considered to reinforce the stone wall in shore as much as possible and protect the abutment and the side wall on the upstream for the arch bridge maintenance works.

PURPOSE. Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) of implant abutments has been shown to result in surface contamination from site-specific milling and fabrication processes. If not removed, these contaminants can have a potentially adverse effect and may trigger inflammatory responses of the peri-implant tissues. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the bacterial disinfection and cleaning efficacy of ultrasonic reprocessing in approved disinfectants to reduce the microbial load of CAD-CAM abutments. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Four different types of custom implant abutments (total N = 32) with eight specimens in each test group (type I to IV) were CAD-CAM manufactured. In two separate contamination experiments, specimens were contaminated with heparinized sheep blood alone and with heparinized sheep blood and the test bacterium Enterococcus faecium. Abutments in the test group were processed according to a three-stage ultrasonic protocol and assessed qualitatively and quantitatively by determination of residual protein. Ultrasonicated specimens contaminated with sheep blood and E. faecium were additionally eluted and the dilutions were incubated on agar plates for seven days. The determined bacterial counts were expressed as colony-forming units (CFU). RESULTS. Ultrasonic reprocessing resulted in a substantial decrease in residual bacterial protein to less than 80 ㎍ and a reduction in microbiota of more than 7 log levels of CFU for all abutment types, exceeding the effect required for disinfection. CONCLUSION. A three-stage ultrasonic cleaning and disinfection protocol results in effective bacterial decontamination. The procedure is reproducible and complies with the standardized reprocessing and disinfection specifications for one- or two-piece CAD-CAM implant abutments.
