무치악환자의 Implant보철수복 방법은 식립된 Implan의 수에 따라 다양하다. 많은 수의 Implant가 식립된 경우에는 고정성 보철물로 수복이 가능하지만 시술이나 기공상의 복잡성, 고가의 치료비, 보철물과 잔존치조제사이의 빈 공간으로 인한 비심미성, 발음의 어려움과 같은 여러 가지 문제점이 존재한다. 적은 수의 Implant가 식립된 경우는 Bar Retained Overdenture를 사용하지만 역시 기공과정이 복잡하며, Bar와 잔존치조제사이의 공간으로 인한 점막지지 면적의 감소와 보수가 어려운 단점이 있다. 여기에 비해서 O-ring Attachment를 이용하면 기공과정이 쉽고, 잔존치조제와 보철물 사이에 공간이 없으므로 점막지지 면적을 많이 얻을 수 있다. 또한 Implant식립의 수도 최소화할 수 있어 경제적이며, 문제가 발생한 경우에 쉽게 대처할 수 있는 장점을 지니고 있다. 본 증례들은 Steri-Oss Implant System의 O-ring Attachment를 이용하여 무치악환자를 보철 수복한 예로서 술후 기능적, 심미적으로 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 문헌고찰과 더불어 발표하는 바이다.

The purpose of this study is to introduce how to make implant supported over denture with Oring. Many kinds of attachments have used to dental restorations. The application of attachment has widely increased implant fixed prosthesis and implant supported over denture. In order that implant supported over denture have properly retention, generally used O-ring, magnetic, bar attachment. O-ring give us an advantage that is required more minimum vertical dimension than bar-type and easily replace with new part. When we make these prosthesis using O-ring, Bar, Ball attachment, we should following procedures. Strong occlusion force leads to fracture of over denture because part of functional mechanism as implant abutment or attachment is spaced. Clips are regularly activated. O-ring and springs are changed every year. The pattern of resorption should be carefully monitored and compensated for by relining procedures. If the over denture appears to rest on the bar or the ball attachments, relining should be performed and clips/caps should be changed.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to compare the changes in retentive force of stud attachments for implant overdentures by in vitro 2-year-wear simulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Three commercially available attachment systems were investigated: Kerator blue, O-ring red, and EZ lock. Two implant fixtures were embedded in parallel in each custom base mounting. Five pairs of each attachment system were tested. A universal testing machine was used to measure the retentive force during 2500 insertion and removal cycles. Surface changes on the components were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by Pairwise comparison, was used to compare the retentive force between the groups, and to determine groups that were significantly different (${\alpha}$<.05). RESULTS. A comparison of the initial retentive force revealed the highest value for Kerator, followed by the O-ring and EZ lock attachments. However, no significant difference was detected between Kerator and O-ring (P>.05). After 2500 insertion and removal cycles, the highest retention loss was recorded for O-ring, and no significant difference between Kerator and EZ lock (P>.05). Also, Kerator showed the highest retentive force, followed by EZ lock and O-ring, after 2500 cycles (P<.05). Based on SEM analysis, the polymeric components in O-ring and Kerator were observed to exhibit surface wear and deformation. CONCLUSION. After 2500 insertion and removal cycles, all attachments exhibited significant loss in retention. Mechanism of retention loss can only be partially explained by surface changes.

The purpose of this investigation was to analyze stress distribution in implant supporting tissue according to different types of attachments such as combination bar attachment, Hader bar attachment, O-Ring attachment and Dal-Ro attachment that are used in mandibular overdenture by using two osseointegrated implants, to study the influence that POM IMC used in bar type attachment has in implant supporting tissue and compare the preceding analyses to find out an effective stress distribution method. Three dimensional photoelastic method was used to obtain the following results. (A) Analysis of stress distribution according to attachment type 1. Under vertical load condition, compressive stress was seen at implant supporting area of working side on all the photoelastic models but in Hader bar attachment tensional stress was seen at distal upper area of implant supporting area. Relatively Hader bar and O-Ring attachment showed even stress distribution pattern. 2. Under vertical load condition, compressive stress at implant apex area and tensional stress at implant lateral supporting area were seen at nonworking side of all models. 3. Under $25^{\circ}$ lateral load condition, general compressive stress was seen at working side implant supporting area in most of the models, especially at distal upper supporting area higher compressive stress concentration was seen in combination bar attachment and tensional stress concentration, in Hader bar attachment. 4. Under $25^{\circ}$ lateral load condition, compressive stress at implant apex area and tensional stress at implant lateral supporting area were seen at nonworking side of all models, except O-Ring model which showed compressive stress only. (B) Influence of POM IMC to stress distribution in bar type attachment 5. Under vertical load condition, better stress distribution pattern was seen at working side of combination bar and Hader bar attachment model using POM IMC. 6. Under vertical load condition, stress value was increased at nonworking side of combination bar attachment model using POM IMC and tendency of increasing compression was seen at nonworking side of Hader bar attachment model using POM IMC. 7. Under $25^{\circ}$ lateral load condition, better stress distribution pattern was seen at working side of combination bar attachment model using POM IMC but tendency of increasing stress was seen on working side of Hader bar attachment model using POM IMC. 8. Under $25^{\circ}$ lateral load condition, stress reduction was seen at nonworking side of combination bar attachment model using POM IMC but tendency of increasing stress was seen at nonworking side of Hader bar attachment model using POM IMC.

이번 연구에서는 두 종류의 어태치먼트 시스템인 Kerator와 O-ring의 다양한 유지력을 가지는 matrix를 사용한 반복적인 착탈 후 평가를 통해 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 초기 유지력은 KP군($62.09{\pm}6.00N$)에서 높았으며, 이어서 KR군($32.83{\pm}4.40N$), KB군($12.69{\pm}3.32N$), OO군($9.55{\pm}1.33N$), 그리고 OR군($9.35{\pm}0.71N$) 순으로 나타났다. 유지력 소실량은 KP군($22.26{\pm}8.02N$)에서 가장 높았으며, KR군($6.23{\pm}3.04N$), OO군($6.03{\pm}1.24N$), OR군($5.81{\pm}0.73N$), 그리고 KB군($0.87{\pm}1.46N$) 순으로 나타났다. 각 군 내의 초기 유지력과 2,500회의 착탈 후의 최종 유지력을 비교하였을 때, KB군을 제외한 모든 군에서 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 어태치먼트 표면 마모양상은 Kerator와 O-ring의 matrix에서 눈에 띄는 변형과 손상이 관찰되었다. 각 patrix에서는 유지력 소실에 기여할 만한 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 결론적으로 어태치먼트의 종류, 재료 그리고 초기 유지력 차이에 따라 마모양상이나 유지력 소실에 차이가 있음을 확 인하였고, 유지력이 보존되는 것처럼 보여도 SEM으로 관찰하였을 때 어태치먼트의 내부가 상당히 변형된 경우가 많았다. 따라서 적절한 유지력을 가진 어태치먼트를 선택하고 각 어태치먼트 시스템 별 적절한 교체시기를 숙지하여 그에따른 사용기간의 준수가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

PURPOSE. The aim of the present study was to compare the stress distributions on the dental implants, abutments, and bone caused by different overdenture attachment types under functional chewing forces. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The 3D finite element models of the mandible, dental implants, attachment types, and prostheses were prepared. In accordance with a conventional dental implant supported overdenture design, the dental implants were positioned at the bone level in the canine teeth region bilaterally. A total of eight models using eight different attachment systems were used in this study. All the models were loaded to simulate chewing forces generated during the centric relationship (450 N), lateral movement (400 N), protrusive movement (400 N), and also in the presence of a food mass unilaterally (200 N). Stress outputs were obtained as the maximum principal stress and the equivalent von-Mises stress. RESULTS. In all attachment types, higher stress values were observed in the abutments, dental implants, and bone in the magnet attachments in different loading conditions. The highest stress values were observed among the magnet systems in the components of the Titanmagnetics model in all loading conditions (stresses were 15.4, 17.7, and 33.1 MPa on abutment, dental implant, and bone, respectively). The lowest stress value was observed in the models of Zest and O-Ring attachments. CONCLUSION. The results of the present study implied that attachment types permitting rotation and tolerating various angles created lower stresses on the bone, dental implants, and abutments.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress patterns developed in abutment and residual ridge according to removable denture design in case of remaining mandibular canines. The removable denture designs in this study were as foolows : 1. Removable partial denture with non-splinted abutment 2. Removable partial denture with splinted abutment 3. Overdenture with telescopic crown 4. Overdenture with O-Ring attachment 5. Overdenture with combination bar attachment Photoelastic stress analysis was used to record the isochromatic fringe patterns and to calculate principal stress components at measuring points. The results were as follows : 1. In case of removable partial denture with non-splinted abutment, stress of root area at the loaded side was the largest. No significant differences in stress of root area were observed between loaded side and unloaded side. 2. No significant differences in stress of residual ridge at the loaded side were observed between removable partial denture with splinted abutment and removable partial denture with non-splinted abutment. 3. In case of combination bar attachment retained overdenture, stress of root area was the largest and in case of telescopic crown retained overdenture, stress of root area was the lowest. 4. In case of attachment retained overdenture, stress of residual ridge was lower but stress of root area was larger than in case of removable partial denture.

연구목적: 임플란트 피개의치에서 연결고정형과 비연결고정형 보철물 지대주와 골의 변형률을 비교하고 임플란트 식립 경사에 따른 변형률을 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 2개의 아크릴릭 레진 모형의 좌측과 우측 견치 부위에 2개의 외부연결형 임플란트를 각각의 모형에 식립하였다. 한 모형에는 두 개의 임플란트를 평행하게 식립하였고, 다른 모형에는 순측과 설측으로 10도의 이개도(divergence)를 가지게 임플란트를 식립하였다. 모형에서 바를 이용한 연결고정형 지대주와 볼을 이용한 비연결고정형 지대주를 고정체에 번갈아 연결하고, 각각의 경우 대응하는 유지장치가 부착된 피개의치를 제작하여 지대주 상에 안착시켰다. 전기저항 스트레인 게이지(strain gauge)를 이용하여 피개의치에 100 N에서 200 N의 부하를 가하였을 때 지대주와 가상골 표면의 변형률(strain)을 측정하였다. 결과 및 결론: 측정된 값들을 통계분석하여 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다. 바를 이용한 연결고정형 보철물은 비연결형 보철물 보다 높은 변형률 값을 보였다. 그러나 방향은 주로 압축력이었으며 부하는 분산되었다(P<.05). 볼을 이용한 비연결고정형 보철물은 연결고정형보다 낮은 변형률 값을 보였다(P<.05). 순측경사된 임플란트에서는 비연결고정형 보철물이 연결고정형 보철물보다 더 높은 변형률 값을 보였다. 설측경사된 임플란트는 순측경사된 임플란트보다 낮은 변형률을 보였다(P<.05). 임플란트가 평행하게 식립된 경우보다 평행하지 않게 식립된 경우 지대주와 가상골의 변형률 값이 더 높았다(P<.05).
