Adequate bone quality and stress distribution to the bone are of decisive importance for implant success. Even though the success rates of dental implants have been high, implant failures do occur. Overloading has been identified as a primary factor behind dental implant failure. The purpose of this study was to theoretically investigate the effect of two types of implants on the stress distribution in poor bone quality. Employing the finite element method, the study modeled a 4.1 mm diameter, 12.0 mm length implant placed in cortical or spongeous bone. A static loading of lOON was applied at the occlusal surface at 0, 30 degrees angle to the vertical axis of the implant. von Mises stresses concentrations in the supporting bone were analyzed with finite element analysis program. The results were as follows; 1. The stresses at the marginal bone were higher under buccal oblique load(30 degrees off of the long axis) than under vertical load. 2. Under buccal oblique load, the stresses were higher at the lingual marginal bone than at the buccal marginal bone, and the differences were almost the same. 3, Under vertical and oblique load, the stress was the highest at the marginal bone and lowest at the bone around apical portions of implant in cortical bone. 4, Under vertical load, Model 1 showed more effective stress distribution than Model 2 irrespective of bone types. On the other hand, Model 2 showed lower stress concentration than Model 1 under buccal oblique load.

Statement of problem. The implant prosthesis has been utilized in various clinical cases thanks to its increase in scientific effective application. The relevant implant therapy should have the high success rate in osseointegration, and the implant prosthesis should last for a long period of time without failure. Resorption of the peri-implant alveolar bone is the most frequent and serious problem in implant prosthesis. Excessive concentration of stress from the occlusal force and biopressure around the implant has been known to be the main cause of the bone destruction. Therefore, to decide the location and angulation of the implant is one of the major considering factors for the stress around the implant fixture to be dispersed in the limit of bio-capacity of load support for the successful and long-lasting clinical result. Yet, the detailed mechanism of this phenomenon is not well understood. To some extent, this is related to the paucity of basic science research. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to perform the stress analysis of the implant prosthesis in the partially edentulous mandible according to the different nature locations and angulations using three dimensional finite element method. Material and methods, Three 3.75mm standard implants were placed in the area of first and second bicuspids, and first molar in the mandible Thereafter, implant prostheses were fabricated using UCLA abutments. Five experimental groups were designed as follows : 1) straight placement of three implants, 2) 5$^{\circ}$ buccal and lingual angulation of straightly aligned three implants, 3) 10$^{\circ}$ buccal and lingual angulation of straightly aligned three implants. 4) lingual offset placement of three implants, and 5) buccal offset placement of three implants. Average occlusal force with a variation of perpendicular and 30$^{\circ}$ angulation was applied on the buccal cusp of each implant prosthesis, followed by the measurement of alteration and amount of stress on each configurational implant part and peri-implant bio-structures. The results of this study are extracted from the comparison between the distribution of Von mises stress and the maximum Von mises stress using three dimensional finite element stress analysis for each experimental group. Conclusion. The conclusions were as follows : 1. Providing angulations of the fixture did not help in stress dispersion in the restoration of partially edentulous mandible. 2. It is beneficial to place the fixture in a straight vertical direction, since bio-pressure in the peri-implant bone increases when the fixture is implanted in an angle. 3. It is important to select an appropriate prosthodontic material that prevents fractures, since the bio-pressure is concentrated on the prosthodontic structures when the fixture is implanted in an angle. 4. Offset placement of the fixtures is effective in stress dispersion in the restoration of partially edentulous mandible.

부분 무치악을 수복하는 데 있어서 선택할 수 있는 치료의 옵션으로는 전통적인 국소의치와 임플란트 지지-고정성 보철물 등이 있다. 하지만, 환자의 전신적 또는 구강의 상태(수술적인 술식이 제한되는 전신병력, 지지조직의 부족 그리고 골유착에 실패한 임플란트)와 치료비용에 대한 허용 정도에 따라 모든 옵션이 항상 가능한 것은 아니다. 가철성 국소의치는 임플란트 고정성 보철물에 비해 구강위생 관리 및 상,하악 악간관계의 부조화를 수정하기에 편리한 장점이 있다. 최근에는 전략적 위치에 임플란트를 식립하여 기존 악궁 형태에서는 제한되는 국소의치 디자인의 한계를 개선할 수 있는 임플란트지지형 RPD(Implant Supported Removable Partial Denture)가 새로운 방안으로 대두되고 있다. ISRPD는 전략적 위치에 임플란트를 식립하여 역학적인 한계를 극복할 수 있을 뿐 만 아니라 전악의 임플란트지지형 고정성 보철이 제한되는 환자에서 보다 경제적이고 현실적인 보철적 해결책이 될 수 있다. 따라서, RPD를 이용한 보철계획 수립시 전략적 위치에서의 임플란트의 사용은 고전적인 가철성 국소 의치에서보다 유지력과 안정성을 증진시키고 구강위생관리 또한 용이하여 환자의 적응도를 높이는 방안으로 고려될 수 있다. 본 증례는 상악 양측 구치부의 임플란트 고정성 보철,하악의 bar-type overdenture를 사용중이던 59세 남성환자에서 상악 #15i임플란트의 abutment screw fracture와 임플란트의 골유착 실패로 인한 다수 임플란트를 발거 후 남은 #15i,24i,25,26,i의 잔존 임플란트와 #23 자연치를 활용해 상악에 ISRPD를 적용한 경우이다. #23 surveyed crown, #24i=25i=26i surveyed bridge 및 #15i에 gold coping을 제작하여 국소의치의 지지와 유지,안정을 도모하였다.최종 보철물을 장착하고 2년간 주기적인 follow up 통해 예후를 관찰중이며 지대치로 사용한 임플란트에서 screw loosening이나 파절, 골흡수 등의 증상은 현재까지 관찰되지 않았다.

An optimum design problem for endosseous implant in dentistry is studied to find best implant design. An optimum design problem is formulated to reduce stresses arising at the cortical as well as cancellous bones, in which sufficient design parameters are chosen for design definition that encompasses major implants in popular use. Optimization at once (OAO) with the large number of design variables, however, causes too costly solution or even failure to converge. A concept of multilevel optimization (MLO) is employed to this end, which is to group the design variables of similar nature, solve the sub-problem of smaller size for each group in sequence, and this is iterated until convergence. Each sub-problem is solved based on the response surface method (RSM) due to its efficiency for small sized problem.

The canalis sinuosus (CS) and its accessory canals (ACs) are anatomical structures in the anterior maxilla. These structures are often neglected when planning implant surgery because their clinical significance is still not well-defined. After a retrospective evaluation of 194 patients rehabilitated with dental implants in the anterior maxilla, 3 patients were identified who presented unexpected chronic neurosensory disturbances without any clinical signs supportive of implant failure. Tomographic assessment using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) revealed the invasion of the CS and ACs by dental implants, which appeared to explain the patients' symptoms. The purpose of this report was to familiarize practicing dentists and specialists with the CS and its ACs. Unanticipated neurosensory symptoms after implant placement in the anterior maxilla justify the use of CBCT to rule out an injury to this neurovascular bundle.

치과용 임플란트를 대상으로 하여 건전환경 및 생체 내의 인자들을 유사하게 반영한 생체유사환경 하에서 피로시험을 수행하였다. 생체유사환경으로는 링거액 환경과 인공타액환경을 각각 사용하였다. 우선 건전환경과 생체유사환경 하에서의 피로수명 및 피로한도를 평가하였다. 또한 피로수명을 향상시킬 수 있는 한 가지 방법을 제안하였다. 인공타액 하에서의 피로수명이 링거환경보다 대체적으로 감소하였다. 시편에 대한 부식작용은 인공타액이 링거액보다 훨씬 크다. 이러한 부식의 차이가 두 경우의 피로수명의 차이로 나타난 것으로 판단된다. 질화처리된 지대주 나사의 질화경화층을 제거하고, 질소확산층을 최표면으로 하는 지대주 나사를 사용한 임플란트의 피로수명은 텅스텐카바이드를 코딩한 기존 제품에 비해 최대 8배의 피로수명 향상효과가 확인되었다.

Background Implant malposition can produce unsatisfactory aesthetic results after breast augmentation. The goal of this article is to identify aspects of the preoperative surgical planning and intraoperative flap fixation that can prevent implant malposition. Methods This study examined 36 patients who underwent primary dual plane breast augmentation through an inframammary incision between September 1, 2012 and January 31, 2013. Before the surgery, preoperative evaluation and design using the Randquist formula were performed. Each patient was evaluated retrospectively for nipple position relative to the breast implant and breast contour, using standardized preoperative and postoperative photographs. The average follow-up period was 10 months. Results Seven of 72 breasts were identified as having implant malposition. These malpositions were divided into two groups. In relation to the new breast mound, six breasts had an inferiorly positioned and one breast had a superiorly positioned nipple-areolar complex. Two of these seven breasts were accompanied with an unsatisfactory breast contour. Conclusions We identified two main causes of implant malposition after inframammary augmentation mammaplasty. One cause was an incorrect preoperatively designed nipple to inframammary fold (N-IMF) distance. The breast skin and parenchyma quality, such as an extremely tight envelope, should be considered. If an extremely tight envelope is found, the preoperatively designed new N-IMF distance should be increased. The other main cause of malposition is failure of the fascial suture from Scarpa's fascia to the perichondrium through an inframammary incision. As well, when this fixation is performed, it should be performed directly downward to the perichondrium, rather than slanted in a cranial or caudal direction.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of simultaneous soft and hard tissue augmentation and the addition of polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) on regenerative outcomes. Materials and Methods: In five mongrel dogs, chronic ridge defects were established in both mandibles. Six implants were placed in the mandible, producing buccal dehiscence defects. The implants were randomly allocated to one of the following groups: 1) control: no treatment; 2) GBR: guided bone regeneration (GBR) only; 3) GBR/PDRN: GBR+PDRN application to bone substitute particles; 4) GBR/CTG: GBR+connective tissue grafting (CTG); 5) GBR/VCMX: GBR+soft tissue augmentation using volume stable collagen matrix (VCMX); and 6) group GBR/VCMX/PDRN: GBR+VCMX soaked with PDRN. The healing abutments were connected to the implants to provide additional room for tissue regeneration. Submerged healing was achieved. The animals were euthanized after four months. Histological and histomorphometric analyses were then performed. Results: Healing abutments were gradually exposed during the healing period. Histologically, minimal new bone formation was observed in the dehiscence defects. No specific differences were found between the groups regarding collagen fiber orientation and density in the augmented area. No traces of CTG or VCMX were detected. Histomorphometrically, the mean tissue thickness was greater in the control group than in the other groups above the implant shoulder (IS). Below the IS level, the CTG and PDRN groups exhibited more favorable tissue thickness than the other groups. Conclusion: Failure of submerged healing after tissue augmentation deteriorated the tissue contour. PDRN appears to have a positive effect on soft tissues.
