Statement of problem. Implant abutment screw joints tend to loosen under clinical conditions. Abutment screw loosening results in loss of preload in function. Purpose. Anti-rotational inner post screw (ARIPS) systems were compared with conventional abutment screws to reduce screw loosening. Reverse torque values were evaluated. Material and methods. 32 implant assemblies (Warentec, Co, Ltd, Seoul, Korea) were organized as the 30-Ncm-torque conventional groups and 30-Ncm-torque ARIPS groups in external and internal system. The specimens were tested to 106 cycles at a load of 200N. Preload reverse torque, postload reverse torque, and the ratio of postload reverse torque to preload reverse torque were evaluated. The data were analyzed with unpaired t-test in external and internal systems. Results. In the ratio of postload reverse torque to preload reverse torque, the ARIPS groups showed significant differences than the conventional screw group in both external and internal system. Conclusion. Within the limitations of this study, abutment screw loosening was effectively reduced using ARIPS system.

연구 목적: 본 연구는 국내 개발된 맞춤형 임플란트 지대주와 기성 임플란트 지대주의 반복 하중 전과 후의 나사 풀림 토크 값을 측정, 비교하여 나사 결합부 안전성에 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 총 12개의 임플란트 고정체(Implantium, Dentium Co., Seoul, Korea)를 알루미늄 원통에 레진으로 고정하고, 그것을 각각 4개씩, 3개의 군으로 나눠서 각 군별로 기성 티타늄 지대주(Implantium, Dentium Co., Seoul, Korea), 캐드캠 맞춤형 티타늄 지대주(Myplant, Raphabio Co., Seoul, Korea), 그리고 금속 연결부가 있는 캐드캠 맞춤형 지르코니아 지대주(Zirconia Myplant, Raphabio Co., Seoul, Korea)를 제작하여 임플란트에 연결하였다. 금속관은 지대주에 맞춰서 티타늄을 밀링해서 제작한뒤 지대주에 합착하였다. 반복 하중을 가하기 전에 지대주 나사를 30 Ncm 토크로 조이고 약 30분 후 나사의 초기 풀림 토크값을 측정하였다. 그 후 반복 하중을 30 N에서 120 N의 싸인 곡선을 이루는 압축력으로 2 Hz의 빈도로 50만 싸이클을 가하고 하중 후 풀림 토크값을 측정하였으며, 풀림 토크 상실률을 구하여서 군끼리 비교하였다. 나사의 풀림 토크값의 상실률의 비교를 위해 Kruskal-Wallis test를 이용해서 유의수준 .05에서 분석하였다. 결과: 반복하중 후 나사 풀림 상실률에서 기성 티타늄 지대주 군에 비해 맞춤형 티타늄 지대주는 높은 값을 보였으나 유의성 있는 차이를 보이지 않았다($P$>.05). 반면, 맞춤형 지르코니아 지대주는 기성 티타늄 지대주에 비해 유의하게 높은 값을 보였다($P$=.014). 결론: 본 실험의 한계 내에서 캐드캠 맞춤형 티타늄 임플란트 지대주는 기성 임플란트 지대주 에 비해 나사 안정성이 떨어진다고 볼 수 없다. 반면, 캐드캠 맞춤형 지르코니아 지대주 는 기성 임플란트 지대주에 비해 나사 안정성이 다소 떨어진다고 볼 수 있다.

Purpose: The development of compact tractors that can be used in dry fields, greenhouses, and orchards for pest control, weeding, transportation, and harvesting is necessary. The development and performance evaluation of power transmission units are very important when it comes to tractor development. This study evaluates the performance of a driving power transmission unit of a 50 kW multi-purpose narrow tractor. Methods: The performance of the transmission and forward-reverse clutch, which are the main components of the driving power transmission unit of multi-purpose narrow tractors, was evaluated herein. The transmission performance was evaluated in terms of power transmission efficiency, noise, and axle load, while the forward-reverse clutch performance was evaluated in terms of durability. The transmission's power transmission efficiency accounts for the measurement of transmission losses, which occur in the transmission's gear, bearing, and oil seal. The motor's power was input in the transmission's input shaft. The rotational speed and torque were measured in the final output shaft. The noise was measured at each speed level after installing a microphone on the left, right, and upper sides. The axle load test was performed through a continuous equilibrium load test, in which a constant load was continuously applied. The forward-reverse clutch performance was calculated using the engine torque to axle torque ratio with the assembled engine and transmission. Results: The loss of power in the transmission efficiency test of the driving power unit was 6.0-9.7 kW based on all gear steps. This loss of horsepower was equal to 11-18% of the input power (52 kW). The transmission efficiency of the driving power unit was 81.5-89.0%. The noise of the driving power unit was 50-57 dB at 800 rpm, 70-77 dB at 1600 rpm, and 76-83 dB at 2400 rpm. The axle load test verified that the input torque and axle revolutions were constant. The results of the forward-reverse clutch performance test revealed that hydraulic pressure and torque changes were stably maintained when moving forward or backward, and its operation met the hydraulic design standards. Conclusions: When comprehensively examined, these research results were similar to the main driving power transmission systems from USA and Japan in terms of performance. Based on these results, tractor prototypes are expected to be created and supplied to farmhouses after going through sufficient in-situ adaptability tests.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to examine the abutment screw stability of screw- and cement-retained implant-supported dental prosthesis (SCP) after simulated cement washout as well as the stability of SCP cements after complete loosening of abutment screws. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Thirty-six titanium CAD/CAM-made implant prostheses were fabricated on two implants placed in the resin models. Each prosthesis is a two-unit SCP: one screw-retained and the other cemented. After evaluating the passive fit of each prosthesis, all implant prostheses were randomly divided into 3 groups: screwed and cemented SCP (Control), screwed and non-cemented SCP (Group 1), unscrewed and cemented SCP (Group 2). Each prosthesis in Control and Group 1 was screwed and/or cemented, and the preloading reverse torque value (RTV) was evaluated. SCP in Group 2 was screwed and cemented, and then unscrewed (RTV=0) after the cement was set. After cyclic loading was applied, the postloading RTV was measured. RTV loss and decementation ratios were calculated for statistical analysis. RESULTS. There was no significant difference in RTV loss ratio between Control and Group 1 (P=.16). No decemented prosthesis was found among Control and Group 2. CONCLUSION. Within the limits of this in vitro study, the stabilities of SCP abutment screws and cement were not significantly changed after simulated cement washout or screw loosening.
