Purpose: In this research, non-linear three dimensional finite element models with contact elements were constructed. For the investigations of the distributions of contact stresses, 3 units fixed partial dentures model were studied, especially on the interface of the gold screw and cylinder, abutment screw. Methods: 3 types of models were constructed ; the basic fixed partial denture in molar region with 3 units and 3 implants, the intermediate pontic fixed partial denture model with 3 units and 2 implants, and the extension pontic fixed partial denture model with 3 units and 2 implants. For all types, the external loading due to chewing was simulated by applying $45^{\circ}$ linguo-buccal loading of 300 N to the medial crown. For the simulation of the clamping force which clinically occurs due to the torque, thermal expansion was provided to the cylinder as a preload. Results: Under 300 N concentrated loading to the medial crown, the maximum contact stress between abutment screw and gold screw was 86.85~175.86MPa without preload, while the maximum contact stress on the same area was 25.59~57.84MPa with preload. Conclusion: The preloading affected the outcomes of the finite element stress analysis. Reflecting the clinical conditions, the preloading conditions should be considered for other practical study utilizing FEA. For the study of the contact stresses and related motions, various conditions, such as frictional coefficient changes, gap between contact surfaces, were also varied and analyzed.

When chewing forces are repetitively applied to a dental implant, gaps are often generated at the interface surfaces between the abutment and the fixture, which results in some deterioration, such as loosening of the fastening screw, dental retraction, and fixture fractures. To cope with such problems, a sealing-type abutment having a number of grooves along the conical-surface circumference was previously developed, and it showed better sealing performance than conventional ones. To enhance the sealing performance, a new model in which a gold ring is inserted into the top groove of the sealing-type abutment is developed in this study. In addition, a manufacturing process is developed, and performance evaluations, such as fatigue and sealing tests, are carried out. The evaluation results show that the gold-ring-inserted sealing abutment yields better performance than conventional ones.

하악 4전치 수복은 치아가 작고 공간도 좁아서 지대주 선택에 어려움이 따른다. 치주적으로 좋지 못한 상황에서 치아를 발거하는 경우가 대부분이고, 이러한 경우 치간공극을 크게 열어주는 것이 구강위생 관리 측면에서 유리하다1. 커스텀 지대주로 아무리 작은 직경으로 포스트 부위를 만든다 해도, 스크류가 들어가는 공간 때문에 작은 직경으로 지대주의 포스트 부위를 만드는 것에는 한계가 있다. One body implant2의 경우, post 부위를 넓은 정면으로 설정하는 것 보다는, 보다 d 얇은 측면(90도 회전면)으로 설정하는 것이 치간공극 형성을 위해 유리하다. Internal bone level implant 활용 시 two piece abutment를 활용하는 것 보다, one-piece abutment를 활용한다면 더 효과적으로 치간공극을 위한 공간을 확보할 수 있다.

연구목적: 임플란트는 수직교합 하중에는 비교적 잘 견디나 측방하중에 대해서는 약한 역학적 성질을 갖고 있으므로 임플란트의 재료 특성과 기하학적 형태에 따른 응력 분석 연구의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 연구재료 및 방법: 외부육각구조를 갖는 28개의 임플란트를 7개씩 4군으로 나누어 그 제품에 적합한 UCLA gold abutment를 이용해, 제3형 금합금으로 보철 물을 제작하였고, A군 (3i, FULL $OSSEOTITE^{(R)}$-Implant), B군 (Nobelbiocare, Branemark $System^{(R)}$Mk III Groovy RP), C군 (Neobiotec, $SinusQuick^{(TM)}$ EB), D군 (Osstem, US-II)으로 분류하였다. 고정체와 지대주나사, 지대주를 연결한 후 수직적으로 절단하여 연마한 후 미세경도계를 이용하여 10군데에서 경도측정을 실시하였고, 동적하중 피로시험기를 이용하여 60-600 N범위로 파절시까지 동적 하중을 가하였다. 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 지대주나사 및 고정체의 파절 양상과 파절 위치 등을 관찰하였고, 유한요소분석을 통해 고정체와 지대주 나사에 나타나는 응력 분포와 파절면을 비교 분석하였다. 결과: 1.고정체 경도는 A, B, C, D군에서 각각 245.3, 289.7, 281.3, 300.4 Hv로 D군이 가장 높았고, A군이 가장 낮았다. 지대주 나사의 경도는 A, B, C, D군에서 각각 340.00, 317.62, 306.5, 306.2 Hv로 A군이 가장 높고, D군이 가장 낮았다. 2. 모든 실험군에서 임플란트 고정체의 파절은 응력이 집중되는 고정체 3-4번째 나사산 홈 (valley) 부위 또는 내면의 사공간부와 일치하는 부위에서 발생되었고, 피로수명은 A, B, C, D군에서 각각 31585, 47311, 30141, 105371로 D군이 가장 높았으며, A, B, C군과는 유의한 차이가 있었다(P<.05). 3. 파절양상은 B군과D군에서는 고정체와 나사 모두에서 수직 (longitudinal)파절과 수평 (transverse)파절이 동시에 일어나는 복합 (complex mode) 파절이 관찰 되었고, A와 C군에서는 고정체에서 수평 (transverse mode) 파절만이 관찰되었다. 4. 유한요소분석 결과 인장응력이 가장 높은 고정체 표면부에서 피로 균열이 시발되어 압축응력이 가장 높은 반대편 부위로 피로균열이 전파되었으며, 최대 유효 응력값은 C군이 가장 높았고, B군에서 가장 낮았다. 결론: 피질골 높이와 일치하는 임플란트 고정체 부위에서 최대 인장 주응력이 발생되며, 고정체 사공간부 (dead space)가 최대 인장 주응력이 작용하는 지그 표면과 일치할 때 피로파절이 발생되었다. 따라서 악골에 식립된 임플란트의 신뢰성을 향상시키고 수명을 증대시키기 위해서는 가능한 임플란트 주위의 골소실이 일어나지 않도록 해야 할 것이나 골흡수가 일어나 사공간부 수준까지 진행된다면 임플란트의 파절 빈도가 증가될 수 있으므로 이에 대한 대처가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Statement of problem: Implant screw loosening has been remained problem in restorative practices. Surface treatment of screw plays a role of preventing screw from loosening in implant screw mechanism. Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate surface characteristics of TiN and ZrN film ion plated screw with titanium and gold alloy screw and to evaluate wear resistance, surface roughness, and film adhesion on screw surface using various instruments. Material and methods : GoldTite screws and titanium screws provided by 3i (Implant Innovation, USA) and TorqTite screws or titanium screws by Steri-Oss (Nobel Biocare, USA) and gold screws and titanium screws by AVANA (Osstem Implant, korea) were selected. Ion plating which is much superior to other surface modification techniques was carried out for gold screws and titanium screws using Ti and Zr coating materials with nitrogen gas. Ion nitrided surface of each abutment screw was observed with field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM, micro-diamond scratch tester, vickers hardness tester, and surface roughness tester. Results : 1) The surface of gold screw and GoldTite is more smooth than ones of other kinds of non coated screw. 2) The ZrN and TiN coated surface is the more smooth than ones of other kinds of screw. 3) The hardness of TiN and ZrN coated surface showed higher than that of non coated surface. 4) The TiN coated titanium screw and ZrN coated gold screw have a good wear resistance and adhesion on the surface. 5) The surface of ZrN coated screw showed low surface roughness compared with the surface of TiN coated screw. Conclusion : It is considered that the TiN and ZrN coated screw which would prevent a screw from loosening can be applicable to implant system and confirmed that TiN and ZrN film act as lubricant on surface of screw due to decrease of friction for recycled tightening and loosening.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the biomechanical properties of the dental implants on the supporting bone using three-dimensional finite element method when three different abutment materials were applied to the implant system. Methods: Three different dental implant models were fabricated by applying Ti, PEEK, and CRE-PEEK (60% carbon-reinforced PEEK) to abutment material. The abutment and connecting screw from the fixture was applied with a tightening torque of 20 Ncm. And then, total loads of 150 N were applied in an $30^{\circ}oblique$ direction (to the vertical). The structural stability of dental implants on the supporting bone was analyzed using Von Mises stress and principal stress values. Results: The maximum tensile stress of the cortical bone was highest at 12.6 MPa in the PEEK abutment (Model-B). Ti abutment (Model-A) and CRE-PEEK abutment (Model-C) showed similar stress distributions (10.6 and 10.3 MPa, respectively). And the maximum compressive principal stress was similar in all models. The Von Mises stress value delivered to the bone around the implant was highest at 16.5 MPa in Model-B. On the other hand, Model-A and C showed similar stress distributions (14.0 and 13.8 MPa, respectively). In addition, the maximum equivalent stress applied to the abutment was highest at 629.8 MPa in Model-A. The stress distribution in Model-C was 573.9 MPa. Whereas, Model-B showed the lowest value at 165.6 MPa. Conclusion : The dental implant supporting bone system using PEEK material seems to have the possibility of supporting bone fracture. It was found that the CRE-PEEK abutment can reduce the elastic deformation and reduce the stress value of the interfacial bone.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the stress distribution of the natural teeth, the implant, the prosthesis and the supporting tissue according to the types of implant and connection modality in the five-unit fixed partial denture with a implant pier abutment. A Two dimensional stress analysis model was constructed to represent a mandible missing the first and second premolars and first molar. The model contained a canine and second molar as abutment teeth and implant pier abutments with and without stress-absorbing element. Finite element models were created and analyzed using software ANSYS 4.4A for IBM 32bit personal computer. The results obtained were as follows. 1. Implant group, compared to the natural teeth group, showed a maximum principal stress at the superior portion of implants and a stress concentration at :he neck and end portion. 2. Maximum principal stress and maximum Von Mises stress were always lower in the case of rigid connection than nonrigid connection. 3. A cylinder type implant with stress absorbing element and screw type implant were generally similar in the stress distribution pattern. 4. A screw type implant, compared to the cylinder type implant, showed a relatively higher stress concentration at both neck and end portion of it. 5. Load B cases showed higher stress concentration on the posterior abutments in the case of nonrigid connector than rigid connector. 6. A maximum displacement was always lower in the case of rigid connection than nonrigid connection. These results suggest that osseointegrated implant can be used as an intermediate abutment.
