Currently increasing use of implants, especially in anterior implant esthetics has become a major concern for both the patient and dentist. In the case of thin biotype if the thickness of the gingival soft tissue is less than 2mm, human eye can detect differences of colors depends on underlying materials. The zirconia abutment can be use not only for better esthetics but also for the hygienic because it is less attractive for the plaque deposition when it compare to the metals. Zirconia itself has many advantages as a biomaterial but also has frequent mechanical problems when it use for abutment of internal connection implant. For prevention or reduction of mechanical failures, use of titanium-link with zirconia super-structure which part that connects directly into the implant can be a good alternative. In this literature, I would like to review the clinical considerations of use of titanium link - CAD/CAM zirconia abutment for dental implant in esthetically important areas.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the fixture abutment connection type and diameter on the screw joint stability in external butt joint for 2nd surgery and internal cone connected type implant system for 1st and 2nd surgery using ultimate fracture strength. Materials and Methods: USII system, SSII system and GSII system of Osstem Implant were used. Each system used the fixture with two different diameters and cement-retained abutments, and tungsten carbide / carbon coated abutment screws were used. Disc shaped stainless steel metal tube was attached using resin-based temporary cement. The experimental group was divided into seven subgroups, including the platform switching shaped specimen that uses a regular abutment in the fixture with a wide diameter in USII system. A static load was increased to the metal tube at 5mm deviated point from the implant central axis until it reached the compression bending strength at a rate of 1mm/min. Then the deformations and patterns of fracture in threaded connection were compared. Results and Conclusion: 1. In the comparison between the Regular diameter, compression bending strength of SSII system was higher than USII system and GSII system. There was no significant difference between USII system and GSII system. 2. In the comparison between wide diameter, compression bending strength was increased in the order of GSII system, USII system, and SSII system. 3. In comparison between the implant diameter, compression bending strength of the wide diameter was greater than the regular diameter in any system(P<0.05). 4. There was no significant difference between the platform switching (III group) and the regular diameter (I group) in USII system. 5. In USII system, fracture of abutment screw and deformation of both fixture and abutment were observed in I, II and III subgroups. 6. Failure pattern of SSII system, which was the fracture of abutment screw and deformation of the abutment and fixture, was observed in both IV and V subgroups. Fracture of some fixtures was observed in subgroup V. 7. Failure pattern of GSII system, which was the fracture of the abutment screw and deformation of the fixture and the abutment, was observed in both VI and VII subgroups. Apart from other subgroups, subgroup VII demonstrated no bending neither the fracture at the top of the fixture. The compressive deformation of internal slope in the fixture was the only thing observed in subgroup VII.

Statement of problem. Accurate impression is essential to success of implant prostheses. But there have been few studies about the accuracy of fixture-level impression techniques in internal connection implant systems. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of two fixture-level impression techniques in two conditions (parallel and divergent) and to assess the effect of tightening sequences and forces on stresses generated on superstructures in internal connection implant system (Astra Tech). Material and methods. Two metal master frameworks made from two abutments (Cast-to Abutment ST) each and a corresponding, passively fitting, dental stone master cast with four fixture replicas (Fixture Replica ST) were fabricated. Ten dental stone casts for each impression techniques (direct unsplinted & splinted technique) were made with vinyl polysiloxane impressions from the master cast. Strain gauges for each framework were fixed midway between abutments to measure the degree of framework deformation on each stone cast. Pairs of strain gauges placed opposite each other constituted one channel (half Wheatstone bridge) to read deformation in four directions (superior, inferior, anterior, and posterior). Deformation data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and the Tukey test at the .01 level of significance. And the effect of tightening sequences (right-to-left and left-to-right) and forces (10 Ncm and 20 Ncm) were assessed with ten stone casts made from parallel condition by the splinted technique. Deformation data were analyzed using paired t-test at the .01 level of significance. Conclusions. Within the limitations of this study, the following conclusions could be drawn. 1. Frameworks bent toward the inferior side on all casts made by both direct unsplinted and splinted impression techniques in both parallel and divergent conditions. 2. There was no statistically significant difference of accuracy between the direct unsplinted and splinted impression techniques in both parallel and divergent conditions (P>.01). 3. There was no statistically significant difference of stress according to screw tightening sequences in casts made by the splinted impression technique in parallel condition (P>.01). 4. Greater tightening force resulted in greater stress in casts made by the splinted impression technique in parallel condition (P<.01).

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cyclic loading and screw retightening on reverse torque value (RTV) in external and internal type implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Cement-retained abutments were connected with 30 Ncm torque to external and internal type implants. Experimental groups were classified according to implant connection type and retightening/loading protocol. In groups with no retightening, RTV was evaluated after cyclic loading for 100,000 cycles. In groups with retightening, RTV was measured after 3, 10, 100 cycles as well as every 20,000 cycles until 100,000 cycles of loading. RESULTS. Every group showed decreased RTV after cyclic loading. Before and after cyclic loading, external type implants had significantly higher RTVs than internal type implants. In external type implants, retightening did not affect the decrease in RTV. In contrast, retightening 5 times and retightening after 10 cycles of dynamic loading was effective for maintaining RTV in internal type implants. CONCLUSION. Retightening of screws is more effective in internal type implants than external type implants. Retightening of screws is recommended in the early stage of functional loading.

Purpose: This study was aimed to compare the survival and success rates, and long-term crestal bone loss according to the use of 2 connection types of dental implants (submerged-USII and non-submerged-SSII; Osstem $Implant^{(R)}$) by analyzing the change in alveolar bone height after 1 year under load and during final follow-up period. Materials and Methods: Between December 2004 and August 2008, patients with two types of Osstem implants (USII and SSII) were retrieved retrospectively. A total of 92 patients with 284 implants (USII=60, SSII=224) was finally selected. Their mean follow-up period was 7.5 years. The mesial and distal alveolar crestal bone changes were measured using radiographic images and the average was calculated at 1 year after loading and during final follow-up period. Result: Among the 284 implants, 4 USII and 7 SSII implants were removed, indicating 93.3% and 96.9% survival rates. Of the survived implants, mean crestal bone loss 1 year after loading was 0.39 mm for USII and 0.19 mm for SSII (P=0.018). During the final follow-up, mean crestal bone loss was 0.63 mm and 0.35 mm for USII and SSII, respectively, without statistical significance (P=0.092). According to the criteria for the success and failure of the implant by Albreksson and colleagues, final success rate was estimated as 86.7% for USII and 91.5% for SSII, respectively. Conclusion At 1 year after loading, the average crestal bone loss was significantly different between USII and SSII; however, both types met the criteria for implant success. During the final follow-up, both groups showed insignificant bone resorption patterns and did not show any pathological clinical symptoms. Therefore, both implants exhibited high long-term stability.

임플란트 보철물에 저작력 등 외부 하중이 작용하면 내부 반응으로 응력이 발생되는데 지지골에 나타난 응력은 골재생 및 흡수 파괴, 임플란트에 나타난 응력은 임플란트 자체의 파절이나 나사의 풀림현상 및 파절, 상부 구조물에 나타난 응력은 보철물의 파절 등을 예견하는 지침이 될 수 있을 것이다. 지대주의 형상과 재질에 따라 연결방법과 보철방법이 달라지고 임플란트 내부의 하중전달 기전이 변하게 되고 이에 따라 악골에 발생하는 응력분포 역시 달라질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 하악 제 1대구치 부위에 이중나사 구조를 갖고 원추형 내측연결 임플란트 시스템인 GSII$^{(R)}$ (Osstem, Korea)임플란트를 이용해 지대주의 종류를 티타늄 소재의 2-piece Transfer$^{TM}$ abutment (GST), 금합금 소재의 2-piece GoldCast$^{TM}$ abutment(GSG), 외부 연결형태를 가진 3-piece Convertible$^{TM}$ abutment (GSC) 로 분류하여 이에 따른 응력분포 양상을 비교 분석하여 보았다. 결과 하중조건에 관계없이 응력은 주로 지대주와 고정체가 접촉하는 경부에 집중되었다. 또한 하중조건에 관계없이 임플란트의 고정체 상부와 접촉하는 치밀골에 높은 응력이 나타나고 해면골에는 아주 작은 응력이 나타났다. 축하중보다는 중심축을 벗어난 하중조건에서 더 높은 응력이 발생되었고 수직하중보다 경사하중에서 더 높은 응력이 발생되었다. 전체에 걸친 최대응력은 GSG에서는 지대주, 치관 및 고정체에 고르게 분포되었고 GST는 주로 고정체와 지대주 나사에, GSC는 고정체와 지대주에 집중되었다. 세 지대주 간 골내의 최대응력에는 유의한 차이가 없었고 GSG가 전체 구성부의 응력분포에 있어 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

Statement of problem: Currently, there are some 20 different geometric variations in implant/abutment interface available. The geometry is important because it is one of the primary determinants of joint strength, joint stability, locational and rotational stability. Purpose: As the effects of the various implant-abutment connections and the prosthesis height variation on stress distribution are not yet examined this study is to focus on the different types of implant-abutment connection and the prosthesis height using three dimensional finite element analysis. Material and method. The models were constructed with ITI, 3i TG, Bicon, Frialit-2 fixtures and solid abutment, TG post, Bicon post, EstheticBase abutment respectively. And the super structures were constructed as mandibular second premolar shapes with 8.5 mm, 11 mm, 13.5 mm of crown height. In each model, 244 N of vertical load and 244 N of $30^{\circ}$ oblique load were placed on the central pit of an occlusal surface. von Mises stresses were recorded and compared in the crowns, abutments, fixtures. Results: 1. Under the oblique loading, von Mises stresses were larger in the crown, abutment, fixture compared to the vertical loading condition. 2. The stresses were increased proportionally to the crown height under oblique loading but showed little differences with three different crown heights under vertical loading. 3. In the crown, the highest stress areas were loading points under vertical loading, and the finish lines under oblique loading. 4. Under the oblique loading, the higher stresses were located in the fixture/abutment interface of the Bicon and Frialit-2 systems compared to the ITI and TG systems. Conclusions: The stress distribution patterns of each implant-abutment system had difference among them and adequate crown height/implant ratio was important to reduce the stresses around the implants.

Oral implants must fulfill certain criteria arising from special demands of function, which include biocompatibility, adequate mechanical strength, optimum soft and hard tissue integration, and transmission of functional forces to bone within physiological limits. And one of the critical elements influencing the long-term uncompromise functioning of oral implants is load distribution at the implant- bone interface, Factors that affect the load transfer at the bone-implant interface include the type of loading, material properties of the implant and prosthesis, implant geometry, surface structure, quality and quantity of the surrounding bone, and nature of the bone-implant interface. To understand the biomechanical behavior of dental implants, validation of stress and strain measurements is required. The finite element analysis (FEA) has been applied to the dental implant field to predict stress distribution patterns in the implant-bone interface by comparison of various implant designs. This method offers the advantage of solving complex structural problems by dividing them into smaller and simpler interrelated sections by using mathematical techniques. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stresses induced around the implants in bone using FEA, A 3D FEA computer software (SOLIDWORKS 2004, DASSO SYSTEM, France) was used for the analysis of clinical simulations. Two types (external and internal) of implants of 4.1 mm diameter, 12.0 mm length were buried in 4 types of bone modeled. Vertical and oblique forces of lOON were applied on the center of the abutment, and the values of von Mises equivalent stress at the implant-bone interface were computed. The results showed that von Mises stresses at the marginal. bone were higher under oblique load than under vertical load, and the stresses were higher at the lingual marginal bone than at the buccal marginal bone under oblique load. Under vertical and oblique load, the stress in type I, II, III bone was found to be the highest at the marginal bone and the lowest at the bone around apical portions of implant. Higher stresses occurred at the top of the crestal region and lower stresses occurred near the tip of the implant with greater thickness of the cortical shell while high stresses surrounded the fixture apex for type N. The stresses in the crestal region were higher in Model 2 than in Model 1, the stresses near the tip of the implant were higher in Model 1 than Model 2, and Model 2 showed more effective stress distribution than Model.

임플랜트 치료가 보편화되고, 다양한 형태와 재료의 상부 구조물이 보급되었다. 그리고 실패에 대한 보고도 다양하며, 그 중 지대나사의 풀림현상이 가장 흔하다고 지적되고 있다. 본 연구는 외부연결구조와 내부연결구조 임플랜트에 의해 지지되는 상부 구조물을 나사로 연결할 때, 세 가지 나사조임순서와 두 가지 나사조임방법에 따른 나사의 풀림 토크값을 비교하여 나사조임순서와 나사조임방법이 서로 다른 연결구조에 따라 나사풀림현상에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 완전 무치악 하악모형을 자가중합형 아크릴릭 레진으로 제작하고 이공간 부위에 중심간 거리가 약 15 mm 되도록 네 개의 임플랜트 고정체 유사체를 고정한 후 바 타입으로 납형 형성하여 상부 구조물을 주조 제작하였다. 상부 구조물과 정확한 적합이 되는 주모형을 제작한 후 연결 인상법으로 외부연결구조, 내부연결구조를 가지는 연구모형을 각각 5개씩 제작하였다. 각 모형에서 각 나사의 풀림 토크값을 가장 왼쪽에 조여지는 나사를 1번 나사로 하고 가장 오른쪽의 나사를 4번 나사로 명명하였다. 먼저, 나사조임순서의 영향을 알아보기 위해 1-2-3-4, 2-3-1-4, 2-4-3-1의 순서로 15 Ncm의 힘으로 조이고, 다시 같은 순서로 최종 조임토크값인 30 Ncm까지 조인 후 (2-step 방법) 각 나사의 풀림 토크값을 측정하였다. 또한 나사조임방법의 영향을 알아보기 위해 2-3-1-4의 순서로 한 번에 최종 조임토크값인 30 Ncm까지 조인 후 (1-step 방법) 각 나사의 풀림 토크값을 측정하여 같은 순서 (2-3-1-4)의 2-step 방법과 비교하였다. 세 가지 나사조임순서에 따른 나사의 풀림 토크값은 외부연결구조에서 2-3-1-4군이 2-4-3-1군보다 유의하게 낮았다 (p<0.05). 그리고 내부연결구조에서도 2-3-1-4군이 2-4-3-1군과 1-2-3-4군보다 유의하게 낮았다 (p<0.05). 또한 나사조임순서와 무관하게 몇 번째 조여진 나사인지에 따른 풀림 토크값을 비교해 본 결과, 외부연결구조에서는 처음에 조여진 나사가 두 번째 조여진 나사보다 유의하게 높았으나 (p<0.05), 내부연결구조에서는 처음에 조여진 나사에서부터 마지막에 조여진 나사 간에 차이가 없었다. 그리고 두 가지 나사조임방법 간에는 외부연결구조와 내부연결구조 모두에서 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 연결구조에 대한 비교에서 외부연결구조와 내부연결구조의 풀림 토크값은 각각 16.27 Ncm, 14.25 Ncm 였으며, 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다 (p<0.05). 다수 임플랜트에 의해 지지되는 상부 구조물을 나사로 연결할 때, 나사조임순서에 따라 차이가 있었으며, 가운데부터 조인 경우에서 풀림 토크값이 낮았고, 연결구조 간에도 차이가 있었다. 풀림 토크값에 미치는 요인에 대해 좀 더 상세히 분석할 필요가 있으며, 하중 조건에서의 부가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
