The present study was performed to evaluate the effect of Tetracycline-HCI and Saline on the change of implant surface microstructure and surface roughness according to application time. Implants with resorbable blasting media surface were utilized. Before test all 13 implants were measured surface roughness. Among them, 6 implants were rubbed with 50mg/ml Tetracycline-HCl solution and other 6 implants with saline for $\frac{1}{2}$min., 1min., $1\frac{1}{2}$min., 2min., $2\frac{1}{2}$min and 3min. Then, specimens were processed for scanning electron microscopic observation and surface roughness after test. The results of this study were as follows. 1. Control group showed a few irregular, rough, uneven surface with crater-like depression. 2. The test group with Tetracycline-HCl conditioning showed an altered surface when Tetracycline-HCl was applied for 30secs, and showed a various surface alteration as application times go on. 3. The test group with Saline conditioning showed no significant surface differences and surface roughness. 4. The significant increase of Ra value was showed when Tetracycline-HCl was applied for 30secs. In conclusion, the 50mg/ml Tetracycline-HCl must not be applied for the RBM surface implant for surface treatment.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine whether a previous peri-implantitis site can affect osseointegration, by comparing implant placement at a site where peri-implantitis was present and at a normal bone site. A second aim of this study was to identify the tissue and bone reaction after treating the contaminated implant surface to determine the optimal treatment for peri-implant diseases. Methods: A peri-implant mucositis model for dogs was prepared to determine the optimal treatment option for peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis. The implants were inserted partially to a length of 6 mm. The upper 4 mm part of the dental implants was exposed to the oral environment. Simple exposure for 2 weeks contaminated the implant surface. After 2 weeks, the implants were divided into three groups: untreated, swabbed with saline, and swabbed with $H_2O_2$. Three implants from each group were placed to the full length in the same spot. The other three implants were placed fully into newly prepared bone. After eight weeks of healing, the animals were sacrificed. Ground sections, representing the mid-buccal-lingual plane, were prepared for histological analysis. The analysis was evaluated clinically and histometrically. Results: The untreated implants and $H_2O_2$-swabbed implants showed gingival inflammation. Only the saline-swabbed implant group showed re-osseointegration and no gingival inflammation. There was no difference in regeneration height or bone-to-implant contact between in situ implant placement and implant placement in the new bone site. Conclusions: It can be concluded that cleaning with saline may be effective in implant decontamination. After implant surface decontamination, implant installation in a previous peri-implant diseased site may not interfere with osseointegration.

Statement of problem: HA has been used as a coating material on Ti implants to improve osteoconductivity. However. it is difficult to form uniform HA coatings on implants with complex surface geometries using a plasma spraying technique. Purpose : To determine if Ti6Al4V sintered porous-surfaced implants coated with HA sol-gel coated and hydrothermal treated would accelerate osseointegration. Materials and Methods : Porous implants which were made by electric discharge were used in this study. Implants were anodized and hydrothermal treatment or HA sol-gel coating was performed. Hydrothermal treatment was conducted by high pressure steam at $300^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours using a autoclave. To make a HA sol, triethyl phosphite and calcium nitrate were diluted and dissolved in anhydrous ethanol and mixed. Then anodized implant were spin-coated with the prepared HA sols and heat treated. Samples were soaked in the Hanks solution with pH 7.4 at $37^{\circ}C$ for 6 weeks. The microstructure of the specimens was observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the composition of the surface layer was analyzed with an energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS). Results : The scanning electron micrographs of HA sol-gel coated and hydrothermal treated surface did not show any significant change in the size or shape of the pores. After immersion in Hanks' solution the precipitated HA crystals covered macro- and micro-pores The precipitated Ca and P increased in Hanks' solution that surface treatment caused increased activity. Conclusion : This study shows that sol-gel coated HA and hydrothermal treatment significantly enhance the rate of HA formation due to the altered surface chemistry.

Peri-implantitis is defined as an inflammatory process affecting the tissues around an osseointegrated implant, resulting in the loss of the supporting bone. Microbial adherence and colonization appear to play a major role in the pathogenesis of periimplantitis. The decision regarding treatment strategies is based on the diagnosis. The severity of the peri-implant lesion and the treatment strategies must include mechanical cleaning (infection control) procedures. Mechanical instrumentation is widely used for the debridement of dental implants, but this may alter the titanium's surface properties. Therefore, selection of the type of instrumentation should be made depending on the type of surface to be debrided. Also, patients with dental implants must always be enrolled in a supportive therapy program.

Statement of problem. Reducing treatment time in implant dentistry is a matter of main concern. There are so many factors affecting the success rate of immediate or early loaded implant for the initial bone response. The especially microscopic properties of implant surfaces playa major role in the osseous healing of dental implant. Purpose. The aims of this study were to perform a histologic and histomorphometric comparison of the healing characteristics anodically roughened surface, HA coated surface and RBM surface implant, and to compare of ISQ values measured by $Osstell^{TM}$ for resonance frequency analysis in dogs mandible during 2 weeks. Material and method. Bone blocks from 2 dogs were caught after covered healing for 0 day(2 h); Group I, 1 week; Group II and 2 weeks; Group III. One longitudinal section was obtained for each implant and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Histomorphometric analysis was done with Kappa Imagebase system to calculate bone-to-implant contact and bone volumes inside the threads. ISQ values were measured in every time of surgery schedule. Conclusion. The experiment revealed that: 1. The percentages of bone-to-implant contact on the fixture in each group were not significantly different(P > 0.05). 2. The percentages of bone area inside the threads on the fixture in each group were not significantly different(P > 0.05). 3. The ISQ level showed clinical stability of each fixture during 2 weeks(all ISQ level ${\geq}71$ ).

상용 임플란트의 표면을 개질하기 위해 물리적, 화학적 방법을 이용한 새로운 표면이 증가하고 있으며 이에 대한 골반응도 다를 것으로 예상할 수 있지만 대부분의 연구는 단순히 기계절삭형 임플란트와의 비교만을 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 4종의 다른 개질된 표면을 가진 상용 임플란트를 가토의 경골에 식립한 후 생역학적, 조직형태학적으로 비교하였다. 연구 결과, 모든 임플란트는 6주 후 안정적인 골유착을 이루고 있었으며 4종의 표면개질의 차이에 의한 공진주파수 및 조직형태학적 골반응의 차이는 없었으며 표면개질을 비교하기 위해 피질골 하방으로 증식한 골을 비교하는 것이 유용하였다. 생역학적, 조직형태학적 골반응에 비해 미세단층촬영(micro-CT)를 이용하는 비교법은 유용성과 정확도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM. A few of studies which compared and continuously measured the stability of various surface treated implants in the same individual had been performed. PURPOSE. We aim to find the clinical significance of surface treatments by observing the differences in the stabilization stages of implant stability. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Eight different surface topographies of dental implants were especially designed for the present study. Machined surface implants were used as a control group. 4 nano-treated surface implants(20 nm $TiO_2$ coating surface, heat-treated 80 nm $TiO_2$ coating surface, CaP coating surface, heat treated CaP coating surface) and 3 micro-treated surface implants [resorbable blast media(RBM) surface, sandblast and acid-etched(SAE) surface, anodized RBM surface] were used as experiment groups. All 24 implants were placed in 3 adult dogs. $Periotest^{(R)}$ & ISQ values measured for 8 weeks and all animals were sacrificed at 8 weeks after surgery. Then the histological analyses were done. RESULTS. In PTV, all implants were stabilized except 1 failed implants. In ISQ values, The lowest stability was observed at different times for each individual. The ISQ values were showed increased tendency after 5 weeks in every groups. After 4 to 5 weeks, the values were stabilized. There was no statistical correlation between the ISQ values and PTV. In the histological findings, the bone formation was observed to be adequate in general and no differences among the 8 surface treated implants. CONCLUSIONS. In this study, the difference in the stability of the implants was determined not by the differences in the surface treatment but by the individual specificity.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM. Macroscopic and especially microscopic properties of implant surfaces play a major role in the osseous healing of dental implants. Dental implants with modified surfaces have shown stronger osseointegration than implants which are only turned (machined). Advanced surface modification techniques such as anodic oxidation and Ca-P application have been developed to achieve faster and stronger bonding between the host bone and the implant. PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of surface treatment of titanium dental implant on implant stability after insertion using the rabbit tibia model. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Three test groups were prepared: sandblasted, large-grit and acid-etched (SLA) implants, anodic oxidized implants, and anodized implants with Ca-P immersion. The turned implants served as control. Twenty rabbits received 80 implants in the tibia. Resonance frequencies were measured at the time of implant insertion, 2 weeks and 4 weeks of healing. Removal torque values (RTV) were measured 2 and 4 weeks after insertion. RESULTS. The implant stability quotient (ISQ) values of implants for resonance frequency analysis (RFA) increased significantly (P <. 05) during 2 weeks of healing period although there were no significant differences among the test and control groups (P >. 05). The test and control implants also showed significantly higher ISQ values during 4 weeks of healing period (P < .05). No significant differences, however, were found among all the groups. All the groups showed no significant differences in ISQ values between 2 and 4 weeks after implant insertion (P >. 05). The SLA, anodized and Ca-P immersed implants showed higher RTVs at 2 and 4 weeks of healing than the machined one (P < .05). However, there was no significant difference among the experimental groups. CONCLUSION. The surface-modified implants appear to provide superior implant stability to the turned one. Under the limitation of this study, however, we suggest that neither anodic oxidation nor Ca-P immersion techniques have any advantage over the conventional SLA technique with respect to implant stability.
