Introduction. In this study, we applied the immediate loading to implant using temporary prosthesis, and compared the treatment results by each placement site, amongst pre-loading period. The study was intended to search for occurrence of complications and the amount of marginal bone resorption. Materials and Methods. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 99 cases of implants from 29 patients who were treated at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital from September 2003 to September 2008. We grouped all the cases by placement arches and pre-loading periods, and subdivided each group by placement site(anterior/posterior), type of prosthesis(full-mouth cross splinting/Partial multiple splinting, Single). Results. In the cases of anterior maxilla, the average amounts of marginal bone resorption showed $1.71{\pm}0.71mm$ in group 1, and $1.44{\pm}0.69mm$ in group 2, which means they revealed no statistically significant difference between group 1 and group 2(p=0.646). In the cases of posterior maxilla, the average amounts of marginal bone resorption showed $1.25{\pm}0.72mm$ in group 1, and $1.14{\pm}1.15mm$ in group 2, which means they were not statistically significant. In the cases of anterior mandible, there was no cases classified as group 4, but the average amounts of marginal bone resorption in group 3 showed $1.38{\pm}0.79mm$. In the cases of posterior mandible, Group 3 showed $1.39{\pm}0.64mm$, and group 4 showed $1.84{\pm}1.19mm$ as amounts of marginal bone resorption, which means they revealed no statistically significant difference between group 3 and group 4(P=0.210). The survival rate of group1 was 97.14%, 92.1% of group3, and 100% of group 2 and group4. According to each type of prosthesis, each average amount of marginal bone resorption revealed no statistically significant difference in maxi11a(p=0.575) in mandible(p=0.206). Conclusion. It is concluded that the marginal bone resorption and the rate of complications might not be affected by placement sites and pre-loading periods. The marginal bone resorption and the rate of complications might vary as different bone quality of placement site and implant system, diameter, length, etc. It is suggested that the proper placement of immediate loading implants decreases the whole treatment period and any inconvenience occurred to patients.

임플란트 피개의치에서 치주적, 보철적 유지관리는 보철물과 임플란트의 장기적 성공에 매우 중요한 요인이다. 유지관리의 실패는 임플란트 주위 골소실 및 보철물이나 구성품의 파절 및 마모로 인해 보철적 실패를 유발할 수 있다. 이 증례에서는 유지관리 실패로 파절된 임플란트 피개의치의 재치료를 위해 기존의 골드 milled bar를 코발트 크롬 milled bar로 외형에 방해되지 않는 형태로 재제작하였고, 하악의 기존 고정성보철은 임플란트 주변 골흡수와 환자의 전신적 문제로 인해 전략적으로 임플란트를 선택하여 두 개의 임플란트에 CM LOC을 연결하여 임플란트 피개의치를 제작하여 재수복하였다. 결과적으로 환자의 위생관리를 수월하게 하는 디자인의, 기능적 심미적으로 장기간 유지관리에 유리한 보철물로 수복하였고 정기적인 유지관리를 시행하였다.

Osseointegrated implnats have proven to be successful in both full and partial edentulous patients since the 1960s and recently have shown successful results when used to restore single tooth missing. However, in most studies reporting the success of single implants, single implants replacing anterior teeth are more frequently mentioned than posterior single implants. Moreover, in studies regarding posterior single implants, the replaced region seemed to be variable; the maxilla, mandible and areas from the first premolar to the second molar were mentioned. However, considering the difference in bone quality in the mandible and maxilla, and the increased occlusal force in the posterior region, the success rates in each region may be different. In this study, the cumulative success rates and amount of bone loss of single implants replacing the mandibular first and second molar, respectively, were compared and analyzed to come to the following conclusion. 1. The 20 (20 persons) single implants that were placed in the mandibular first molar region were all successful and showed a 100% 5 year cumulative success rate. Among the 27 (24 persons) single implants replacing the mandibular second molar, 8 failed (27.63%) showing a 5 year cumulative success rate of 70.37%. 2. Among the 8 failed implants, one showed symptoms of postoperative infection and one complained of parenthesia. 6 implants failed after functional loading; 5 showed mobility and one resulted in fixture fracture. 3. After the attachment of the prosthesis, there was no significant statistical difference regarding the marginal bone loss in group 1 and group 2 during the checkup period (P>0.05). In conclusion, restoration of the mandibular first molar using single implants was found to be an excellent treatment modality, and when replacing mandibular second molars with single implants, poor bone quality and risk of overloading must be considered.

This report describes two cases of complete arch implant-supported restorations. The first patient had seven dental implants in each arch with monolithic zirconia frameworks. At four weeks' follow-up, the one-piece maxillary framework was fractured, which was re-designed and re-fabricated using laser-sintered cobalt-chrome alloy. The second patient had four implants in the mandible only. A mandibular monolithic zirconia framework and a maxillary conventional complete denture were fabricated and delivered. At five years' follow-up, the patient reported no significant discomfort. Careful consideration and monitoring of the status of antagonistic arches and stress distribution on zirconia frameworks were suggested for complete arch implant-supported fixed restorations.

'Crossed occlusion' is the condition in which occlusal intercuspation is lost when several teeth on upper and lower jaw remain. This report describes a clinical case in which a patient had two upper-left posterior teeth and two lower-right posterior teeth; typically known as left-right crossed occlusion. Considering the patient's general condition and financial situation, the treatment plan included placement of two implants on each jaw against the remaining teeth using surgical guide. To find out the ideal position of implants, digital diagnostic wax-up was preceded by superimposing the cast and cone beam computed tomography image, which was aided with radiographic stents. The consequent surveyed implant bridge provided stable vertical stop for fabrication of the implant assisted removable partial dentures. The patient was satisfied with the functionality and esthetics of definitive prosthesis.

The introduction of osseointegrated dental implants in dentistry brought about a new era in everyday dental practice. For the past 50 years, prosthetic restoration with implant-supported prosthesis has developed into a viable and predictable treatment option. Alongside the increasing use of dental implants is the occurrence of many complications during implant placement (surgery), in the mechanical or prosthetic problem, and in the biological aspect. In particular, abutment or screw fracture as one of the mechanical complications can put the dentist in a tight spot in a clinical situation. It is hard to remove the fractured abutment and screw to restore it properly. Therefore, it is very important that clinicians consider possible complications in advance and make an appropriate treatment plan. We discuss cases of abutment fracture and mechanical/prosthetic complications together with the causes and solutions.

Implant treatment has become the treatment of choice to replace missing teeth in partially edentulous areas. Dental implants present different biological and biomechanical characteristics than natural teeth. Occlusion is considered to be one of the most important factors contributing to implant success. Most literature on implant occlusal concepts is based on expert opinion, anecdotal experiences, in vitro and animal studies, and only limited clinical research. Furthermore, scientific literature regarding implant occlusion, particularly in implant-supported fixed dental prostheses remains controversial. In this study, the current status of implant occlusion was reviewed and discussed. Further randomized clinical research to investigate the correlation between implant occlusion, the implant success rate, and its risk factors is warranted to determine best clinical practices.

Designing a morphologically well-fitted hip implant to a patient anatomy is desirable to improve surgical outcomes since a commercial ready-made hip implant may not well conform to the patient joint. In this study, biomechanical stability of patient-specific hip implants with two different stem lengths was compared and discussed using a 3D finite element analysis (FEA). The FEA results in this study showed that an increase in stem length brings about more the peaked von-Mises stress (PVMS) in the prosthesis and less in the femur. However the decrease in von-Mises stress in the femur causes stress shielding phenomenon that usually leads to considerable bone resorption. Although, in biomechanical stability point of view, this work recommends the use of smaller stems, the length of stem must be determined by considering both the von-Mises stress and the stress-shielding phenomenon.

There is an increasing appreciation of the vital role that biomechanics play in the performance of oral implant. The aim of this article is to provide some basic principles that will allow a clinician to formulate a biomechanically valid treatment plan. However, at this point in the history of oral implantology, the clinician should realize that we do not know enough to provide absolute biomechanical rules that will guarantee success of all implants in all situations. To examine the biomechanical questions, one must begin with an analysis of the distribution of biting forcess to implants. Related topics, such as stress transfer to surrounding tissues and interrelationships between bone biology and mechanical loading are major subjects, deserving a separate discussion. Once rigid fixation, angulation, crestal bone level, contour, and gingival health are achieved, stress beyond physiologic limits is the primary cause of initial bone loss around implants. The restoring dentist has specific responsibilities to reduce overload to the bone-implant interface. These include proper diagnosis, leading to a treatment plan designed with adequate retention and form, and progressive loading to improve the amount and density of bone and further reduce the risk of stress beyond physiologic limits. The major remaining factor is the development of occlusal concept in harmony with the rest of the stomagnetic system.
