본 논문의 목적은 코팅처리의 기계적 성질과 임플란트 지대주나사의 코팅처리가 고정체와의 결합안정성에 미치는 영향을 연구하고자 함이다. 이를 위해 Megagen 임플란트 시스템과 직경 15 mm, 높이 1 mm의 티타늄원판을 사용하였다. 지대주 나사와 원판에 TiN, TiCN, 및 TiC를 코팅하여 실험군으로, 코팅처리하지 않은 것을 대조군으로 하였다. 실험군은 지대주나사를 32 Ncm로 체결한 후 풀림회전력과 조임회전각을 측정하고, 10만 번씩 저작 모방 시험을 실시하여 풀림회전력의 변화를 관찰하였다. 조임회전각은 TiCN, TiC코팅나사에서 코팅하지 않은 나사보다 크게 나타났다(p<0.05). 그러나 풀림회전력은 TiCN, TiC코팅나사에서 코팅하지 않은 나사보다 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 저작 모방 시험후 코팅한 나사에서 코팅하지 않은 나사보다 풀림 회전력이 더 높게 나타났으며 풀림회전력은 건조상태와 습윤상태 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과로 TiC 코팅군은 저작 모방 시험 전에는 풀림회전력이 낮았지만 저작 모방 시험 후에는 낮은 마찰계수로 인한 높은 풀림회전력과 조임회전각을 가져 임플란트 지대주나사의 결합안정성에 영향을 미치는 효율적인 방법임을 시사한다.

Titanium is widely used in dentistry for its low density, high strength, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. But it has a tendency of surface damage under circumstance of friction and impact for its low hardness of the surface. Coating is one of methods fir increasing surface hardness. Its effect is to improve surface physical characteristics without change of titanium. Diamond-like carbon and titanium nitride are known for its high hardness of the surface. So that this study was aimed at the wear test and the cytotoxicity test of the commercially pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy which were deposited by diamond-like carbon film or titanium nitride film to acertain improvement of the surface hardness and the biocompatibility. A disk (25mm diameter, 2mm thickness) was made of commercially pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy and these substrates were deposited by diamond-like carbon film or titanium nitride film. Diamond-like carbon film was deposited by the method of radiofrequency plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition and titanium nitride film was deposited by the method of reactive arc ion plating. Then these substrates were tested about wear characteristics by the pin-on-disk type wear tester in which ruby ball was used as a wear causer under the load of 32N, The fracture cycles were measured by rotating the substrates until their films were fractured. The wear volume was measured after 150 cycles and 3,000 cycles using surface profiler. The cytotoxicity test was peformed by the method of the MTT assay. The results were as follows : 1. In the results of the wear volume test, commercially pure titanium and titanium alloy which were coated by diamond-like carbon film or titanium nitride aim had higher resistance against wear than the substrates which were not coated by any films (P<0.05). 2. In the results of the fracture cycle test and the wear volume test, diamond-like carbon film had higher resistance against wear than titanium nitride film (P<0.05). 3. In both coatings of diamond-like carbon aim and titanium nitride film, Ti-6Al-4V alloy had higher resistance against wear than commercially pure titanium (P<0.05) 4. In the results of the cytotoxicity test, diamond-like carbon film and titanium nitride film had little cytotoxicity as like commercially pure titanium or Ti-6Al-4V alloy (P>0.05).
