Oral implants must fulfill certain criteria arising from special demands of function, which include biocompatibility, adequate mechanical strength, optimum soft and hard tissue integration, and transmission of functional forces to bone within physiological limits. And one of the critical elements influencing the long-term uncompromise functioning of oral implants is load distribution at the implant- bone interface, Factors that affect the load transfer at the bone-implant interface include the type of loading, material properties of the implant and prosthesis, implant geometry, surface structure, quality and quantity of the surrounding bone, and nature of the bone-implant interface. To understand the biomechanical behavior of dental implants, validation of stress and strain measurements is required. The finite element analysis (FEA) has been applied to the dental implant field to predict stress distribution patterns in the implant-bone interface by comparison of various implant designs. This method offers the advantage of solving complex structural problems by dividing them into smaller and simpler interrelated sections by using mathematical techniques. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stresses induced around the implants in bone using FEA, A 3D FEA computer software (SOLIDWORKS 2004, DASSO SYSTEM, France) was used for the analysis of clinical simulations. Two types (external and internal) of implants of 4.1 mm diameter, 12.0 mm length were buried in 4 types of bone modeled. Vertical and oblique forces of lOON were applied on the center of the abutment, and the values of von Mises equivalent stress at the implant-bone interface were computed. The results showed that von Mises stresses at the marginal. bone were higher under oblique load than under vertical load, and the stresses were higher at the lingual marginal bone than at the buccal marginal bone under oblique load. Under vertical and oblique load, the stress in type I, II, III bone was found to be the highest at the marginal bone and the lowest at the bone around apical portions of implant. Higher stresses occurred at the top of the crestal region and lower stresses occurred near the tip of the implant with greater thickness of the cortical shell while high stresses surrounded the fixture apex for type N. The stresses in the crestal region were higher in Model 2 than in Model 1, the stresses near the tip of the implant were higher in Model 1 than Model 2, and Model 2 showed more effective stress distribution than Model.

PURPOSE. This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of the implant-abutment connection design and diameter on the screw joint stability. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Regular and wide-diameter implant systems with three different joint connection designs: an external butt joint, a one-stage internal cone, and a two-stage internal cone were divided into seven groups (n=5, in each group). The initial removal torque values of the abutment screw were measured with a digital torque gauge. The postload removal torque values were measured after 100,000 cycles of a 150 N and a 10 Hz cyclic load had been applied. Subsequently, the rates of the initial and postload removal torque losses were calculated to evaluate the effect of the joint connection design and diameter on the screw joint stability. Each group was compared using Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test as post-hoc test (${\alpha}$=0.05). RESULTS. The postload removal torque value was high in the following order with regard to magnitude: two-stage internal cone, one-stage internal cone, and external butt joint systems. In the regular-diameter group, the external butt joint and one-stage internal cone systems showed lower postload removal torque loss rates than the two-stage internal cone system. In the wide-diameter group, the external butt joint system showed a lower loss rate than the one-stage internal cone and two-stage internal cone systems. In the two-stage internal cone system, the wide-diameter group showed a significantly lower loss rate than the regular-diameter group (P<.05). CONCLUSION. The results of this study showed that the external butt joint was more advantageous than the internal cone in terms of the postload removal torque loss. For the difference in the implant diameter, a wide diameter was more advantageous in terms of the torque loss rate.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the oxide layer removal process in the Co-Cr-Mo (CCM) abutment after casting procedure on the prosthesis settlement and screw stability. MATERIALS AND METHODS: CCM abutments of four different interface conditions (CCM-M; machined, CCM-O; oxide layer formed, CCM-B; blasted, CCM-P; polished after blasted) and gold abutment (Gold-C; Cast with type III Gold alloy) were used. The initial settling values of abutments were evaluated according to the difference of implant-abutment length when the tightening torques were applied at 5 Ncm and 30 Ncm, and the settling values of abutments caused by loading were evaluated according to the difference of implant-abutment length before and after loading with 250 N, 100000 cycle. The loss ratios of removal torque for abutment screws were evaluated according to the difference in value of removal torques under 30 Ncm tightening torque applied before and after cyclic loading. RESULTS: The CCM-P and CCM-B group showed a higher initial settling value compared with the Gold-C group (P<.05), while the Gold-C group showed the highest settling values caused by loading (P<.05) and no significant differences were observed for between CCM groups (P>.05). The loss ratio of removal torque values for the CCM-B, CCM-P groups did not differ significantly from that of the Gold-C group (P>.05). CONCLUSION: Even though the oxide layer was removed by different methods, CCM abutment with internal conical connection structure showed lower abutment settling and similar screw loosening after cyclic loading compared with gold abutment.

임플란트 상부 보철물 제작 시 치은연하 변연을 가지는 맞춤형 지대주의 인상채득을 위해 전통적으로 치은 압배술이 실시되어 왔다. 하지만 치은 압배술은 치은 퇴축 등의 부작용이 있으며 출혈은 부정확한 인상채득의 원인이 될 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 보철물을 제작할 때 중첩 가능하도록 제작된 맞춤형 지대주를 이용하는 새로운 방법을 적용하였다. 지대주를 임플란트에 연결하기 전 형상데이터를 저장하고, 임플란트에 연결 후 치은 압배 과정 없이 광학 인상채득한 뒤 두 데이터를 중첩하여 상부보철물을 제작하였다. 치은 연하 변연을 가지는 임플란트 보철물 제작 시 심미성을 만족시키면서 기존의 인상채득 방식보다 빠르고 간편하며 우수한 변연 및 내면적합도를 보였기에 임상적 효용성에 대해 보고하고자 한다.

연구목적: 임플랜트 치료에서 가장 흔히 발생하는 기계적 문제점 중 하나는 나사의 풀림이다. 지대주 나사에 조임회전력을 가하는 목적은 나사를 신장시켜, 신장된 나사의 인장력에 의한 지대주와 고정체간의 압축력을 통해 연결부의 안정성을 부여하는 데 있다. 조임 회전력의 결과로 나타나는 전하중의 크기는 다양한 요소에 의해 영향을 받기 때문에, 동일한 조임회전력을 적용하였다 할지라도 임플랜트 시스템의 종류에 따라 전하중의 크기가 달라질 수 있다. 따라서 지대주 나사 연결부의 안정성을 위한 다양한 임플랜트 시스템의 적정 조임회전력 크기에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 external butt joint와 두 가지 internal cone 연결형태를 갖는 임플랜트 시스템들에서 지대주 나사의 조임회전력이 임플랜트-지대주 나사 연결부의 안정성에 미치는 영향을 하중 전후의 풀림회전력 측정을 통해 알아보고자 하였다. 연구재료 및 방법: External butt joint 형태를 가지는 US II 시스템과 $8^{\circ}$ internal cone 연결형태의 SS II 및 $11^{\circ}$ internal cone 연결형태의 GS II 시스템에서 20 Ncm, 30 Ncm, 그리고 40 Ncm의 각기 다른 조임회전력을 적용한 후 초기 풀림회전력 및 상실률과 $10^5$회의 반복하중 후의 풀림회전력 및 상실률을 비교 분석하였다. 연구결과 및 결론: 1. 초기 풀림회전력과 하중 후 풀림회전력은 조임회전력의 크기가 증가할수록 크게 나타났다 (P < .05). 2. 초기 풀림회전력 상실률은 SS II 시스템에서는 조임회전력 크기에 따른 차이가 없었으나 (P > .05), GS II와 US II에서는 20 Ncm 보다 40Ncm의 조임회전력에서 더 낮게 나타났다 (P < .05). 3. 하중 후 풀림회전력 상실률은 세 시스템 모두 30 Ncm의 조임회전력을 가했을 때 가장 낮게 나타났다 (P < .05). 4. 하중 후 풀림회전력 상실률은 SS II, GS II, 그리고 US II 순으로 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 5. 초기 풀림회전력과 하중 후 풀림회전력 상실률 간에는 상관관계가 없었다 (P > .05). 이상의 결과로부터 임플랜트 시스템의 종류뿐만 아니라 조임회전력의 크기 또한 지대주 나사의 풀림회전력 상실에 영향을 준다는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 임플랜트-지대주 나사 연결부 안정성 유지를 위해서는 임플랜트 시스템마다 적정 조임회전력이 제시되어야 하고, 또한 임상에서 이를 준수하는 것이 매우 중요하다고 생각된다.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Currently, many implant systems are developed and divided into two types according to their joint connection: external or internal connection. Regardless of the connection type, screw loosening is the biggest problem in implant-supported restoration. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to assess the difference in stability of abutment screws between the external and internal hexagonal connection types under cyclic loading. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Each of the 15 samples of external implants and internal abutments were tightened to 30 N/cm with a digital torque gauge, and cemented with a hemispherical metal cap. Each unit was then mounted in a $30^{\circ}$ inclined jig. Then each group was divided into 2 sub-groups based on different periods of cyclic loading with the loading machine (30 N/ cm - 300 N/cm,14 Hz: first group $1{\times}10^6$, $5{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading; second group $3{\times}10^6$, $3{\times}10^6$ for a total cyclic loading of $6{\times}10^6$) The removal torque value of the screw before and after cyclic loading was checked. SPSS statistical software for Windows was used for statistical analysis. Group means were calculated and compared by ANOVA, independent t-test, and paired t-test with ${\alpha}$=0.05. RESULTS: In the external hexagonal connection, the difference between the removal torque value of the abutment screw before loading, the value after $1{\tims}10^6$ cyclic loading, and the value after $1{\times}10^6$, and additional $5{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading was not significant. The difference between the removal torque value after $3{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading and after $3{\times}10^6$, and additional $3{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading was not significant. In the internal hexagonal connection, the difference between the removal torque value before loading and the value after $1{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading was not significant, but the value after $1{\times}10^6$, and additional $5{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading was reduced and the difference was significant (P < .05). In addition, in the internal hexagonal connection, the difference between the removal torque value after $3{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading and the value after $3{\times}10^6$, and additional $3{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading was not significant. CONCLUSION: The external hexagonal connection was more stable than the internal hexagonal connection after $1{\times}10^6$, and additional $5{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading (t = 10.834, P < .001). There was no significant difference between the two systems after $3{\times}10^6$, and additional $3{\times}10^6$ cycles.
