Recent study shows that implant design has a great impact on initial stability in bone. The ITI $TE^{(R)}$ implant, designed originally for immediate placement has a tapered/ cylindrical form which fits the anatomical shape of the natural alvelous or tooth root. The increased diameter at the collar region coupled with more threads lead to more bone contact and enhanced stability. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the clinical use and the efficacy of recently introduced ITI TE implant with a new macro-design. The following results are compiled from 139 patients who received ITl TE implant surgery at the periodontal department. of Yonsei University Hospital between July 2002 and September 2005. 1. 139 patients received 173 ITl $TE^{(R)}$ implants in their maxilla and mandible (Mx 82, Mn 91). Posterior area accounted for 84% of the whole implant surgery, 2. In the distribution of bone quality, type III(41,0%) was the most, followed by type IV(41,0%) and type II (27.7%). As for the bone quantity, type B(43.9%) was the most, followed by type C(42.2%), type D(12.2%) and type A(1.7%). 3. 125 implants(83.9%) were treated by single crown, which accounted for the majority. 4, The total implant survival rate was 100% after a mean follow-up period of 21.2 months. This preliminary data with ITl $TE^{(R)}$ implant showed excellent survival rate although the majority of implants evaluated in this study were placed in the posterior region of the jaw and compromised sites.

Since the treatment of edentulous patients with osseointegrated implant was first introduced more than 30 years ago, implant therapy has become one of the most important dental treatment modalities today. Based on the previous experience and knowledge, $Br{\aa}nemark\;Novum^{(R)}$ protocol was introduced with the concept of simplifying surgical and prosthetic technique and reducing healing time recently. This protocol recommends the installation of three 5mm wide diameter futures in anterior mandible and the prefabricated titanium bars for superstructure fabrication. This study was designed to analyze the stress distribution at fixture and superstructure area according to changes of fixture number, diameter and superstructure materials. Four 3-dimensional finite element models were fabricated. Model 1 - 5 standard fixtures (13mm long and 3.75mm in diameter) & superstructure consisted of type IV gold alloy and resin Model 2- 3 wide diameter fixtures (13mm long and 5.0mm in diameter) & superstructure consisted of type IV gold alloy and resin Model 3-3 wide diameter fixtures (13mm long and 5.0mm in diameter) & superstructure consisted of titanium and resin Model 4-3 wide diameter fixtures (13mm long and 5.0mm in diameter) & superstructure consisted of titanium and porcelain A 150N occlusal force was applied on the 1st molar of each model in 3 directions - vertical($90^{\circ}$), horizontal($0^{\circ}$) and oblique($120^{\circ}$). After analyzing the stresses and displacements, following results were obtained. 1. There were no significant difference in stress distribution among experimental models. 2. Model 2, 3, 4 showed less amount of compressive stress than that of model 1. However, tensile stress was similar. 3. Veneer material with a high modulus of elasticity demonstrated less stress accumulation in the superstructure. Within the limites of this study, $Br{\aa}nemark\;Novum^{(R)}$ protocol demonstrated comparable biomechanical properties to conventional protocol.

Background Autologous or implant-based breast reconstruction after nipple-sparing mastectomy is increasingly preferred worldwide as a breast cancer treatment option. However, postoperative nipple-areola complex (NAC) necrosis is the most significant complication of nipple-sparing mastectomy. The purpose of our study was to identify the risk factors for NAC necrosis, and to describe the use of our skin-banking technique as a solution. Methods We reviewed cases of immediate autologous breast reconstruction after nipple-sparing mastectomy at our institution between June 2005 and January 2014. The patients' data were reviewed and the risk of NAC necrosis was analyzed based on correlations between patient variables and NAC necrosis. Moreover, data pertaining to five high-risk patients who underwent the donor skin-banking procedure were included in the analysis. Results Eighty-five patients underwent immediate autologous breast reconstruction after nipple-sparing mastectomy during the study period. Partial or total NAC necrosis occurred in 36 patients (43.4%). Univariate analysis and binary regression modeling found that body mass index, smoking history, radiation therapy, and mastectomy volume were significantly associated with NAC necrosis. Of the 36 cases of NAC necrosis, 31 were resolved with dressing changes, debridement, or skin grafting. The other five high-risk patients underwent our prophylactic skin-banking technique during breast reconstruction surgery. Conclusions NAC necrosis is common in patients with multiple risk factors. The use of the skin-banking technique in immediate autologous breast reconstruction is an attractive option for high-risk patients. Banked skin can be used in such cases without requiring additional donor tissue, with good results in terms of aesthetic and reconstructive outcomes.

상악 전치부 임플란트 수복의 성공에 있어서 심미적인 요소는 매우 중요한 부분입니다. 하지만 심미적인 결과를 얻는 것은 쉬운 일이 아니며 특히 치주염으로 인해 치조골 소실이 심하게 발생한 경우라면 더욱 그러합니다. 상악 전치부의 경우, 발치 직후부터 시작되는 치주 조직의 위축이 심미적 수복을 방해하므로 이를 최소화하기 위해 발치 즉시 임플란트를 시행하기도 합니다. 하지만 치조골 소실이 심한 경우 발치 즉시 식립은 심미적 실패를 가져올 가능성이 있고, 이런 결과는 돌이킬 수 없는 문제를 야기합니다. 그래서 치조제 보존술(Alveolar ridge preservation)을 시행하고 이후에 임플란트를 식립하는 방법으로 접근하기도 합니다. 2019년 JCP에 발치 후 임플란트 식립 시기와 발치와 처치에 대한 유럽치주학회의 consensus가 수록되어 있는데 여기서도 '심미적으로 중요한 부위에서 순측 치조골의 소실이 심하게 발생한 경우 치조제 보존술을 고려해야 한다고 언급하고 있습니다. 치조제 보존술을 하게 되면 primary closure가 어렵기 때문에 open membrane technique으로 이차치유를 유도하거나 FGG, CT graft를 시행하게 됩니다. 하지만 이차 치유 과정은 골재생에 부정적인 영향을 줄 수 있고, 연조직 이식은 환자와 술자에게 부담이 될 수 있습니다. 반면 치조골 결손이 심한 발치와에 있는 육아 조직(Granulation tissue)을 이용하게 되면 연조직 이식 없이도 primary closure를 얻을 수 있습니다. 또한 육아 조직에 조직 재생에 도움이 될 수 있는 줄기세포가 함유되어 있다는 연구들이 있습니다. 이를 근거로 치조골 및 연조직 결손이 심한 상악 전치부 치아를 육아 조직을 이용한 치조제 보존술을 통해 임플란트 수복을 시행하였습니다. 결손이 심한 발치와임에도 불구하고 비교적 심미적인 임플란트 수복 결과를 얻을 수 있었습니다.

상악 전치부에 임플란트를 이용해 심미적으로 수복 하는 것은 많은 어려움이 따른다. 이는 치조골 흡수와 치간 유두 수축 등과 같은 임플란트 주변 경, 연조직 문제와 금속지대주 및 금속도재관의 변연노출과 낮은 광투과도 등의 보철적 한계 때문이다. 이에 본 증례에서는 경, 연조직의 증대술 및 성형술, 발치 후 즉시 식립 등과 함께 임시수복물의 장기간 사용 및 수정으로 임플란트 주위 연조직의 형태와 건강을 형성한 후, 맞춤형 인상 코핑을 사용하여 이를 최종 모형에 재현하였다. 또한 맞춤형 지르코니아 지대주와 완전 도재관을 이용해 최종 수복함으로써 기능적이고 심미적인 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of implant tilting and the loading direction on the displacement and micromotion (relative displacement between the implant and bone) of immediately loaded implants by in vitro experiments and finite element analysis (FEA). Methods: Six artificial bone blocks were prepared. Six screw-type implants with a length of 10 mm and diameter of 4.3 mm were placed, with 3 positioned axially and 3 tilted. The tilted implants were $30^{\circ}$ distally inclined to the axial implants. Vertical and mesiodistal oblique ($45^{\circ}$ angle) loads of 200 N were applied to the top of the abutment, and the abutment displacement was recorded. Nonlinear finite element models simulating the in vitro experiment were constructed, and the abutment displacement and micromotion were calculated. The data on the abutment displacement from in vitro experiments and FEA were compared, and the validity of the finite element model was evaluated. Results: The abutment displacement was greater under oblique loading than under axial loading and greater for the tilted implants than for the axial implants. The in vitro and FEA results showed satisfactory consistency. The maximum micromotion was 2.8- to 4.1-fold higher under oblique loading than under vertical loading. The maximum micromotion values in the axial and tilted implants were very close under vertical loading. However, in the tilted implant model, the maximum micromotion was 38.7% less than in the axial implant model under oblique loading. The relationship between abutment displacement and micromotion varied according to the loading direction (vertical or oblique) as well as the implant insertion angle (axial or tilted). Conclusions: Tilted implants may have a lower maximum extent of micromotion than axial implants under mesiodistal oblique loading. The maximum micromotion values were strongly influenced by the loading direction. The maximum micromotion values did not reflect the abutment displacement values.
