In this study, surface characteristics of dental implant fixture with various manufacturing process have been researched using electrochemical methods. The dental implant fixture was selected with 5 steps by cleaning, surface treatment and sterilization with same size and screw structure; the 1st step-machined surface, 2nd step-cleaned by thinner and prosol solution, 3th step-surface treated by RBM (resorbable blasting media) method, 4th step-cleaned and dried, 5th step-sterilized by gamma-ray. The electrochemical behavior of dental implant fixture has been evaluated by using potentiostat (EG&G Co, 2273A) in 0.9% NaCl solution at $36.5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The corrosion surface was observed using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The step 5 sample showed the cleaner and rougher surface than step 3 sample. The step 5 sample of implant fixture treated by RBM and gamma sterilization showed the low corrosion current density compared to others. Especially, the step 3 sample of implant fixture treated by RBM was presented the lowest value of corrosion resistance and the highest value of corrosion current density. The step 3 sample showed the low value of polarization resistance compared to other samples. In conclusion, the implant fixture treated with RBM and gamma sterilization has the higher corrosion resistance, and corrosion resistance depends on the step of manufacturing process.

연구 목적: 본 연구는 서로 다른 세가지 블라스팅 처리를 한 티타늄 디스크에$Nd:YVO_4$ 레이저 조사 조건을 달리한 후 조사하여 티타늄의 표면 거칠기 및 표면 변화를 관찰하기 위함이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 디스크 형태의 상용 순수 티타늄 시편을 30개 준비하여 시료 표면을 각각 10개씩 $ZrO_2$ (zirconium dioxide), $Al_2O_3$ (aluminium oxide), RBM (resorbable blasted media)으로 블라스팅(blasting)하고 초음파 세척하였다. $Nd:YVO_4$ 레이저(Laser Pro D-20, Laserval $Korea^{(R)}$, Seoul, South Korea)에서 주사속도(100, 300, 500 mm/s)와 시간당 진동량(반복률) (5, 15, 35 kHz)을 다르게 하여 9가지 조건을 설정하였다. 레이저 조사 후 주사전자현미경, X-선 회절 분석 및 에너지 분산X선 분광분석, 표면 거칠기 분석을 통해 각 시편을 평가하고 분석하였다. 결과: 주사전자현미경의 결과 레이저 조사를 시행하지 않은 티타늄 표면은 방향성이 없는 불규칙한 형상을 보였고 레이저 조사를 처리한 시편은 특징적인 형태가 관찰되었다. X-선회절분석결과$ZrO_2$, RBM 의 고유피크는 관찰되지 않았으나 $Al_2O_3$분사한 군에서는 알루미나의 고유 피크가 관찰되었다. 에너지 분산X선 분광분석을 통해 관찰한 티타늄의 산화도 경향성과 표면 거칠기는 유사하였다. 표면 거칠기는 주사속도와 반복률에 따른 차이를 보였다(P<.05). 결론: 레이저 조사 조건에 따라 티타늄 디스크의 미세구조와 표면 거칠기가 변화되었다. 레이저 조사는 골유착을 증진시키기 위한 임플란트 표면을 변화시키는 방법중의 하나로 여길 수 있을 것이다.

Objectives: This study compared the impact of implant surface treatment on the stability and osseointegration of implants in dog mandibles. Materials and Methods: Six adult dogs received a total of 48 implants that were prepared using four different surface treatments; resorbable blast media (RBM), hydroxyapatite (HA), hydrothermal-treated HA, and sand blasting and acid etching (SLA). Implants were installed, and dogs were separated into 2- and 4-week groups. Implant stability was evaluated via Periotest M, Osstell Mentor, and removal torque analyzers. A histomorphometric analysis was also performed. Results: The stability evaluation showed that all groups generally had satisfactory values. The histomorphometric evaluation via a light microscope revealed that the HA surface implant group had the highest ratio of new bone formation on the entire fixture. The hydrothermal-treated HA surface implant group showed a high ratio of bone-to-implant contact in the upper half of the implant area. Conclusion: The hydrothermal-treated HA implant improved the bone-to-implant contact ratio on the upper fixture, which increased the implant stability.

본 논문에서는 순수 티타늄(cp-Ti) 임플란트를 SLA (Sandblasting with Large grit and Acid) 처리할 때 산-처리 용액의 유형, 산-처리 온도 및 산-처리 시간 등이 티타늄 표면에 주는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 원판형의 cp-Ti 시편을 준비하여 표면을 인산칼슘계 세라믹 분말로 RBM (Resorbable Blast Media) 처리하였다. 산-처리 용액으로 염산을 30 vol%로 고정하고 황산의 농도를 10, 20, 30, 35 vol%로 증가시키며 혼합한 용액에 증류수를 추가하여 4종의 산-처리 용액을 준비하였다. 실험군은 4종의 산-처리 용액, 3 종의 처리온도 및 3 종의 처리시간 등 36 가지로 분류하여 실험군당 4개의 시편을 산-처리하였다. 산-처리 전 후 시편 무게를 전자저울로 측정하여 무게 감소비율을 계산하였고, 공초점주사전자현미경으로 표면거칠기를 측정하였다. X-선 회절분석기(XRD)로 XRD 패턴을 측정하였고, 주사전자현미경으로 표면 형상을 관찰하였으며, 에너지 분산형 분석기(EDX)와 광전자분광법(XPS)로 표면성분을 분석하였다. 무게 감소비율과 표면거칠기 측정값은 Tukey-multiple comparison test (p = 0.05)로 통계 분석하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 산-처리에 따른 티타늄 시편의 무게 감소는 황산의 농도 및 산-처리 용액의 온도가 높을수록 유의하게 증가하였다. 산-처리한 티타늄의 표면 거칠기는 산-처리 조건(황산 농도, 온도, 시간)에 일정한 영향을 받지 않았다. XRD 분석에서 산-처리한 모든 시편에서 티타늄(${\alpha}-Ti$)과 수소화 티타늄($TiH_2$) 결정상이 관찰되었고, XPS 분석으로 티타늄 표면에 얇은 n산화 티타늄 층이 형성된 것을 알 수 있었다. $90^{\circ}C$ 산-용액에서 처리할 경우 티타늄 표면이 과도하게 용해될 수 있으므로 주의하여야 한다.

Objective : This study sought to investigate the clinical survival rate of two implants with different surfaces: resorbable blasting media (RBM)-treated and calcium metaphosphate (CMP)-coated implant. Study design : SSII non-submerged implants (Osstem, Seoul, Korea) were placed in a total of 48 patients with mean age of 38.8. At least 31 patients in the experimental group had a CMP-coated implant, and 1 patient in the control group received a, RBM surface implant. The evaluation period was between April 2006 and December 2007. Radiographs, periotest, clinical periodontal examination, and prosthetic adjustment and occlusion were used. Results : The survival rate of the experimental and control groups after 1 year was 97.2% and 100%, respectively. The Wald confidence interval reported for the experimental group was not inferior to the control group. Conclusion : No significant differences were found between the RBM and CMP groups. The observed data suggest that CMP-coated methods can provide favorable clinical results for the functioning and healing of dental implants.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to assess the difference in efficacy between calcium metaphosphate (CMP)-coated implant fixtures and conventional resorbable blasted media (RBM) processed implant fixtures. MATERIALS AND METHODS. This study targeted 50 implants from 44 patients who visited Dankook University Dental Hospital. Implantations were done separately for RBM treated and CMP-coated implants, although their design was the same. Calcium metaphosphate has a quicker biodegradation process through hydrolysis compared to other phosphate calcium groups. For the first year of the implantation, the resorption volume of marginal bone analyzed via radiography and perio-test value were measured, under the check plan. Their analyses were composed of a non-inferiority trials test. A 95% level of reliability was used. RESULTS. In the comparative analysis of the resorption volume of marginal bone and the perio-test value, no statistically significant difference was found between the CMP-coated implants and RBM implants. CONCLUSION. One year after the implant placement, CMP-coated implants were found not to be inferior to the conventional RBM implants.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using erythrosine and a green light emitting diode (LED) light source on biofilms of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans attached to resorbable blasted media (RBM) and sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched (SLA) titanium surfaces in vitro. Methods: RBM and SLA disks were subdivided into four groups, including one control group and three test groups (referred to as E0, E30, E60), in order to evaluate the effect of PDT on each surface. The E0 group was put into $500{\mu}L$ of $20{\mu}M$ erythrosine for 60 seconds without irradiation, the E30 group was put into erythrosine for 60 seconds and was then irradiated with a LED for 30 seconds, and the E60 group was put into erythrosine for 60 seconds and then irradiated with a LED for 60 seconds. After PDT, sonication was performed in order to detach the bacteria, the plates were incubated under anaerobic conditions on brucella blood agar plates for 72 hours at $37^{\circ}C$, and the number of colony-forming units (CFUs) was determined. Results: Significant differences were found between the control group and the E30 and E60 groups (P<0.05). A significantly lower quantity of CFU/mL was found in the E30 and E60 groups on both titanium disk surfaces. In confocal scanning laser microscopy images, increased bacterial death was observed when disks were irradiated for a longer period of time. Conclusions: These findings suggest that PDT using erythrosine and a green LED is effective in reducing the viability of A. actinomycetemcomitans attached to surface-modified titanium in vitro.

Purpose: The possibility of immediate or early loading has become popular in implant dentistry. A prerequisite for the immediate or early loading of an implant prosthesis is the achievement of initial stability in the implant. Moreover, in response to clinicians' interest in verifying clinical stability to determine the optimal time point for functional loading, a non-invasive method to assess implant stability has been developed on the basis of resonance frequency analysis (RFA). The primary objective of this study was to monitor the stability of sandblasted, large-grit, and acid-etched (SLA) implants with different diameters during the early phases of healing by RFA. The secondary objective was to evaluate how the initial stability of implants varied depending on different surface modifications and other contributing factors. Methods: Thirty-five implants (25 SLA implants and 10 resorbable blasting media [RBM] implants) placed in 20 subjects were included. To measure implant stability, RFA was performed at baseline and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 10 weeks after surgery. Results: The longitudinal changes in the implant stability quotient (ISQ) values were similar for the SLA implants with different diameters and for the RBM implants. During the initial healing period, the ISQ decreased after installation and reached its lowest values at 1 week and 2 weeks, respectively. The mean ISQ values in the SLA implants were significantly higher in ${\varnothing}5.0mm$ implants than in ${\varnothing}4.0mm$ implants. Men showed a higher ISQ than women. Mandibular sites showed a higher ISQ than maxillary sites. Conclusions: All implants used in this study are suitable for immediate or early loading under appropriate indications. A wider diameter and SLA surface treatment of implants could improve the stability, if the implant is fixed with at least 30 Ncm of insertion torque.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to present the clinical results of maxillary sinus augmentation implants and to evaluate the effects of various factors on the implant survival rate. Methods: In a total of 112 patients, 293 implants after sinus augmentation were performed. The total survival rate and the influence of the following factors on implant survival were evaluated; patient characteristics (sex, age, smoking, general disease), graft material, implant surface, implant installation stage, site of implant placement, length and width of implant, closure method for osseous window, residual alveolar bone height. Results: 1. Age ranged from 16 to 70 yr, with a mean of 45.7 yr. 2. Cumulative survival rate for the 293 implants with the maxillary sinus augmentation procedure was 94.9%. 3. Simultaneous implant installation was performed in 122 patients and delayed implant installation was performed in 117 implants. The average healing period after sinus elevation was 7.3 months for delayed implant installation and this procedure had a significantly higher survival rate. 4. There were no significant differences in sex, age, smoking, general disease, site of implant placement, length and width of implant, residual alveolar bone height and the survival rate. 5. RBM (Resorbable Blasting Media) implant surface and allograft groups had significantly lower survival rates. Conclusion: These data suggest that maxillary sinus augmentation may give more predictable results for autogenous bone grafts and delayed implant placement.

Purpose: The present study was performed to evaluate the effect of surface treatment of the cervical area of implant on bone regeneration in fresh extraction socket following implant installation. Materials and methods: The four minipigs, 18 months old and 30 kg weighted, were used. Four premolars of the left side of both the mandible and maxilla were extracted. ${\phi}$3.3 mm and 11.5 mm long US II plus implants (Osstem Implant co., Korea) with resorbable blasting media (RBM) treated surface and US II implants (Osstem Implant co., Korea) with machined surface at the top and RBM surface at lower portion were installed in the socket. Stability of the implant was measured with $Osstell^{TM}$ (Model 6 Resonance Frequency Analyser: Integration Diagnostics Ltd., Sweden). After 2 months of healing, the procedures and measurement of implant stability were repeated in the right side by same method of left side. At four months after first experiment, the animals were sacrificed after measurement of stability of all implants, and biopsies were obtained. Results: Well healed soft tissue and no mobility of the implants were observed in both groups. Histologically satisfactory osseointegration of implants was observed with RBM surface, and no foreign body reaction as well as inflammatory infiltration around implant were found. Furthermore, substantial bone formation and high degree of osseointegration were exhibited at the marginal defects around the cervical area of US II plus implants. However, healing of US II implants was characterized by the incomplete bone substitution and the presence of the connective tissue zone between the implant and newly formed bone. The distance between the implant platform (P) and the most coronal level of bone-to-implant contact (B) after 2 months of healing was $2.66{\pm}0.11$ mm at US II implants group and $1.80{\pm}0.13$mm at US II plus implant group. The P-B distance after 4 months of healing was $2.29{\pm}0.13$mm at US II implants group and $1.25{\pm}0.10$mm at US II plus implants group. The difference between both groups regarding the length of P-B distance was statistically significant(p<0.05). Concerning the resonance frequency analysis (RFA) value, the stability of US II plus implants group showed relatively higher RFA value than US II implants group. Conclusion: The current results suggest that implants with rough surface at the cervical area have an advantage in process of bone regeneration on defect around implant placed in a fresh extraction socket.
