The use of osseointegrated implant has been reported that is an acceptable procedure for the restoration of totally or partially edentulous patient and that offers good predictability of long term success. It is difficult to get high success rate in edentulous maxillae with inadequate bony quality and quantity, and anatomic limitations such as pneumatic maxillary sinus and nasal floor. The various trials such as sinus lifting, bone grafting, guided bone regeneration, trabecular condensation with osteotome, and the use of wide-diameter implant have been introduced to solve these problems. This study was undertaken to assess the evaluation of clinical prognosis of the implant restorations with these various implantation techniques in the maxillary edentulous area. One hundred eight patients were treated with a total of 386 endosseous implants from March 1994 to January 1998 at Dept. of Dentistry, Korea Veterans Hospital in Seoul Korea. The various techniques for implantation in the edentulous maxillae were supplied to overcome the limitations of implant fixation. These techniques consist of sinus lifting, guided bone regeneration, onlay bone grafting, and osteotome trabecular condensation technique. The total success rate of implant restoration of this study was 93% in the maxillae. The success rate of implant restorations with conventional technique was 94.6%, with osteotome trabecular condensation technique was 94.1%, with guided bone regeneration technique was 93.3%, with bone grafting technique was 92.9%, with sinus lifting technique was 83.8%. The success rate on the maxillary anterior area was 95.2% and that on the posterior area was 91.9%. The failures were associated not only with surgical installation techniques but also bony quality and quantity, characteristics of implant, and stress distribution when in function.

전악 보철 치료에서 가장 중요한 것은 환자의 수직 교합 고경이 적절한지 평가하는 것이며, 필요시 교합 고경 거상을 통해 회복해 주어야 한다. 수직 교합 고경이 낮으면 저작력이 감소되며 심미적인 문제 뿐만 아니라 저작근의 과수축이나 과두의 후방 변위가 일어난다. 본 증례는 수차례에 걸쳐 전악에 이르는 보철 수복 치료를 받은 후 부적절한 수직 교합 고경으로 인해 발음 및 심미에 불만족스러워 하는 환자에게 수직 교합 고경 거상을 동반해 전악 보철 수복 치료를 했다. 디지털 진단 장비를 활용해 환자의 수직 교합 고경, 교합 평면, 보철물 상태 등을 종합적으로 평가하고 치료계획을 수립했다. 3D 안면 스캔으로 얼굴의 해부학적 구조를 파악하고 교합 평면을 설정한 다음 이에 맞추어 디지털로 진단 왁스업 했다. 전치부 기준 약 5 mm의 수직 교합 고경 거상을 결정하였으며 기존 식립된 양측 상하악 구치부의 임플란트의 상부 보철과 상악 4전치를 제외한 모든 잔존 치아를 수복하였다. 치료 순서는 양측 구치부의 임플란트 보철물을 먼저 제작하여 안정적인 교합 접촉을 형성한 뒤 자연치의 보철물을 제작하는 방식으로 진행했으며, 적응된 임시 수복물을 반영하여 동일한 순서로 최종 보철물을 제작하였다. 이와 같이 전악 보철 치료에서 안면 스캔을 이용해 환자의 facial landmark와 조화를 이루는 교합 평면을 설정하고 디지털 진단 왁스업 과정을 통해 적절한 치료계획을 수립하였고, 거상된 교합 고경을 유지하기 위해 구치부 임플란트를 이용한 결과 복잡한 기공 과정을 줄이고, 치료 시간을 단축할 수 있었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study with 4-12 years of follow-up was to compare the marginal bone loss (MBL) between external-connection (EC) and internal-connection (IC) dental implants in posterior areas without periodontal or peri-implant disease on the adjacent teeth or implants. Additional factors influencing MBL were also evaluated. Methods: This retrospective study was performed using dental records and radiographic data obtained from patients who had undergone dental implant treatment in the posterior area from March 2006 to March 2007. All the implants that were included had follow-up periods of more than 4 years after loading and satisfied the implant success criteria, without any peri-implant or periodontal disease on the adjacent implants or teeth. They were divided into 2 groups: EC and IC. Subgroup comparisons were conducted according to splinting and the use of cement in the restorations. A statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test for comparisons between 2 groups and the Kruskal-Wallis test for comparisons among more than 2 groups. Results: A total of 355 implants in 170 patients (206 EC and 149 IC) fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were analyzed in this study. The mean MBL was 0.47 mm and 0.15 mm in the EC and IC implants, respectively, which was a statistically significant difference (P<0.001). Comparisons according to splinting (MBL of single implants: 0.34 mm, MBL of splinted implants: 0.31 mm, P=0.676) and cement use (MBL of cemented implants: 0.27 mm, MBL of non-cemented implants: 0.35 mm, P=0.178) showed no statistically significant differences in MBL, regardless of the implant connection type. Conclusions: IC implants showed a more favorable bone response regarding MBL in posterior areas without peri-implantitis or periodontal disease.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the relative radiopacities of cavity lining materials (Resin-modified Glass Ionomer cement, Compomer and Plowable resin) for posterior composite resin restoration. Material & Methods: Resin-modified glass ionomer cement (Fuji II LC, Vitrebond/sup TM/), Compomers (Dyract /sup (R)/ Compoglass, F2,000, Dyract/sup (R)/ flow Compoglass Flow) and Flowable resins (Tetric/sup (R)/ flow, Aeliteflo/sup TM/ Revolution/sup TM/) were used. Five specimens of 5 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick were fabricated with each material. Human molars were horizontally sectioned 2 mm thick to include both enamel and dentin. The radiopacities of enamel, dentin, cavity lining materials, aluminum step wedge were obtainded from conventional radiograph and NIH image program. Results: All the tested lining materials showed levels of radiopacity the same as or greater than that of dentin. All compomer tested (Dyract, Compoglass, F2,000, Dyract flow, Compoglass Flow) and Vitrebond/sup TM/, Tetric/sup (R)/ flow were more radiopaque than enamel. The radiopacities of Fuji II LC and Revolution/sup TM/ were between enamel and dentin and resin-modified glass ionomer cement, Compomer and Tetric/sup (R)/ flow were greater than those of Revolution/sup TM/, Aeliteflo/sup TM/ or dentin. The level of radiopacity of the tested materials was variable; those with low radiopacity should be avoided in class II restorations, where a clear determination of recurrent caries by the examining clinician could be compromised. Conclusion: Clinician should be able to distinguish these cavity lining materials radiographically from recurrent decay, voids, gaps, or other defects that lead to clinical failure. Utilization of materials ranked more radiopaque than enamel would enable clinicians to distinguish the lining material from tooth structure.

PURPOSE. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of the color of a background substructure on the overall color of a zirconia-based all-ceramic crown. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Twenty one posterior zirconia crowns were made for twenty subjects. Seven premolar crowns and six molar crowns were cemented onto abutments with metal post and core in the first and second group. In the third group, eight molar crowns were cemented onto abutments with a prefabricated post and composite core build-up. The color measurements of all-ceramic crowns were made before try-in, before and after cementation. A repeated measure ANOVA was used for a statistical analysis of a color change of all-ceramic crowns at ${\alpha}$=.05. Twenty four zirconia specimens, with different core thicknesses (0.4-1 mm) were also prepared to obtain the contrast ratio of zirconia materials after veneering. RESULTS. $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ values of all-ceramic crowns cemented either on a metal cast post and core or on a prefabricated post did not show significant changes (P>.05). However, the slight color changes of zirconia crowns were detected and represented by ${\Delta}E{^*}_{ab}$ values, ranging from 1.2 to 3.1. The contrast ratios of zirconia specimens were 0.92-0.95 after veneering. CONCLUSION. No significant differences were observed between the $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ values of zirconia crowns cemented either on a metal cast post and core or a prefabricated post and composite core. However, the color of a background substructure could affect the overall color of posterior zirconia restorations with clinically recommended core thickness according to ${\Delta}E{^*}_{ab}$ values.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the flexure stregth of posterior 4-unit acrylic resin bridge with different pontic designs : 1) Conventional pontic 2) Hygienic pontic and 3) Modified hygienic pontic. All specimens were made of self-curing acrylic resin for provisional restorations. Self-curing acrylic resin was filled in a silicone mold by the drop-on technique ; and was polymerized in a pressure spot under 20 psi pressure. The test specimens which were simply shaped posterior 4-unit bridge were 38mm ion 4mm wide, and 35mm thick(connector : 3mm thick). Each specimen was subjected to an increasing load of Instron machine with its tip centered on the specimen at 90-degree angle, and the machine was operated with its load cell of 50kg and its crosshead speed, 2mm/minute : and then the load values at the moment of the fracture of them were recorded. This study was also performed to analyze their stress distributions by the finite element method. The obtained results were as follows : 1. Flexure strength of the hygienic pontic(9.78kg) and the modified hygienic pontic(10.17kg) was higher than that of conventional pontic(6.96kg). But no significant difference was found between the hygienci pontic and the. modified hygienic pontic. The above statistic values were appraised by ANOVA and Duncan's multiple range test 2. Stress was concentrated on the middle portion in every group : and the stress of conventional pontic was found the greatest of all pontic designs.

Incidence of using esthetic composite resin in the posterior area is increasing but there were lots of inconsistent reports about their microleakage and marginal adaptation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences of microleakage and marginal adaptation according to restorative techniques. 30 cavities with enamel gingival margin were prepared and restored with 3 types of composite resin [Z-100($Scotchbond^{TM}$ MP), AELITEFIL ($Onestep^{TM}$), Her culite XRV(Fuji BOND LC)] in direct technique and another 30 cavities were restored with preformed CR inlays and 3 different modern resin and resin-modified GI cements (Superbond C&B, Choice, Fuji Duet). Samples were chemically stressed in 75% ethanol for 24 hours and were thermocycled (5-$55^{\circ}C$(500 times. The degree of microleakage through proximal and gingival margins was examined by 1 % MB dye and the degree of marginal adaptation by examining the margins via SEM. The following results were obtained ; 1. In direct groups, Herculite XRV [Fuji BOND LC, 35.13 (15.50) %] group showed statistically different, less microleakage than Z-100 [$Scotchbond^{TM}$ MP, 72.91 (16.91 %] group and AELITEFIL [One-step, 93.73 (13.66) %] group (p<0.05). 2. In indirect groups, the degree of microleakage in Mean(S.D.) were: Super bond C & B [39.00 (24.35) %], Choice [57.19 (33.80) %], Fuji Duet [58.22 (40.36) %]. But there was no significant difference. 3. There was no significant difference between resin cement and resin-modified GI cement. 4. There were gaps at the interface with the tooth structure, but no gap was seen at the interface with restoration in all specimens. 5. In direct groups, Herculite XRV(Fuji BOND LC) group made little gap compared with other groups, but 40-$50{\mu}m$ thickness of bonding agent, Fuji BOND LC, looked like a cement used in indirect technique. 6. All indirect groups showed a variety of cement thickness, from less than $20{\mu}m$ to over $100{\mu}m$ and that dimension of buccal/lingual margin was less than that of gingival margin.

In this study, three treatment options to replace two posterior missing teeth were investigated using three dimensional finite element analysis: two wide(${\phi}5.0mm$) implants(the experimental model I), two standard(${\phi}3.75mm$) implants(the experimental model II), and three standard(${\phi}3.75mm$) implants(the experimental model III). Two kinds of load case were applied ; 1) perpendicular on occlusal surface(axial load), parallel on occlusal surface(lateral load). 2) perpendicular on occlusal surface(3mm lateral to central point). The results obtained from this study were as follows; value of Von-mises stress (equivalent stress) was smallest in the two wide implant among the three experimental models. It was reported that the diameter is the efficient factor than osseointegrated surface area.
