Nowadays, it seems like that the concept of the early loading protocol has been intruded between the concept of the immediate loading supported by advanced clinicians and the concept of the conventional loading supported by the prudent clinicians. In particular, the stability dip, which is found to occur usually at 4~6 weeks after dental implant placement because the decrease of the primary mechanical stability is not compensated by the increase of the secondary biologic stability, is frequently pointed out as one of the major causes of early loading failure. In this article, based on our recent clinical investigation about the crestal bone preservation effect of the early loaded NanoTite$^{TM}$ Tapered Certain Prevail$^{(R)}$ (Biomet 3i, USA), the concept of the early loading is revisited. In addition, various methods to overcome the stability dip are reviewed as the oral and maxillofacial surgeon's view point.

The most important part of everyday root canal treatment is diagnosis about the morphology of tooth, root and root canal. Usually this procedure is performed by visual examination and radiographic (panoramic/periapical) examination. However, 2-dimentional radiography has several limitations such as imposition of anatomic structures including buccal/lingual root canals and distortion of images. Recently, owing to the increased interest in dental implant and affordable cost of CBCT equipment, CBCT has been introduced widely in local dental clinics. CBCT is characterized by their lower radiation dose and shorter exposure time than conventional CT scan, and ability of 3-dimentional reconstruction of the dento-alveolar structure. Also in endodontic field, the data from CBCT could be very helpful in diagnosing complex root canal anatomy, apical periodontitis, cause of failure and in determining treatment plan. However, there are some limitations such as radiation dose and artifact. Therefore, clinicians should know about indication, advantages and limitations of CBCT, and properly use it for successful root canal treatment to save the natural teeth.

Purpose: This study compares the prognosis (the survival rate and marginal bone loss) of resorbable blasting media (RBM) surface implants and sandblasting with large-grit and acid-etching (SLA) surface implants in the early loading. Methods: This study targeted 123 patients treated by implants installation from January 2008 to March 2010. The loading was initiated in the maxilla within three to four months and in the mandible within one to two months. The types of restoration were single crown and fixed partial prosthesis. Those functioned over one year. The implants were classified by the surface of implants as Group 1: RBM surface (GS III; OSSTEM, Busan, Korea) and, Group 2: SLA surface (Superline; Dentium, Seoul, Korea). The groups were categorized by maxilla and mandible and compared by survival rate, marginal bone loss through clinical records evaluation, and radiographic measurements. Results: The marginal bone loss in the maxilla was $0.14{\pm}0.34mm$ (Group 1) and $0.30{\pm}0.37mm$ (Group 2), a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). In the mandible those were $0.28{\pm}0.54mm$ (Group 1) and $0.20{\pm}0.33mm$ (Group 2), not significant (P>0.05). There was no significant difference of marginal bone loss between maxilla and mandible by groups. During observation there was no implant failure, a survival rate of 100%. Conclusion: Both surfaces showed an excellent survival rate, and the marginal bone loss was not substantial.

Implant용 bioabsorbable 복합재료의 계면물성과 미세파괴분해 메카니즘을 micromechanical 시험법과 음향방출을 이용하여 평가하였다. Poly(ester-amide)와 bioactive 유리섬유의 인장 강도와 탄성률 그리고 연신율은 분해시간에 따라 점차적으로 감소하는 경향을 보인 반면, chitosan 섬유는 분해시간 내에서 거의 변화가 없었다. Dual matrix composite 시험법을 이용하여 측정된 bioactive 유리섬유와 poly(L-lactide) 사이의 계면전단강도는 chitosan이나 poly(ester-amide) 섬유의 경우 보다 큰 값을 보였다. 그리고 계면전단강도 감소는 bioactive 유리섬유 강화 poly(L-lactide) 복합재료에서 가장 빨랐으며, chitosan 섬유의 경우가 상대적으로 가장 느린 경향을 보였다. Poly(ester-amide) 섬유의 분해시간에 따른 음향방출 진폭과 에너지는 점차로 감소하였고, 음향방출 진폭의 분포 역시 점차 좁아짐을 보여주었다. Bioactive 유리섬유에서 인장파단에 의한 음향방출 진폭과 에너지는 압축파단의 경우 보다 크게 나타났으며, 또한, 인장 및 압축시험 모두에서 초기상태가 분해 후 보다 더 큰 값을 보였다. 본 연구에서 평가한 계면물성과 미세파괴분해 메카니즘은 생흡수성 복합재료의 성능을 조절할 수 있는 중요한 요소가 될 것이다.

The purpose of the present study lied in examining the incidence, treatment and failure causes of peri-implantitis by analyzing medical charts of those patients who underwent implant placement for the past 2 years. The subjects included those patients who underwent implant placement at the present hospital from January 2001 to December 2002. 3i implants were used for the analysis for the comparison of significance. A total of 301 patients were examined, among whom 102 were females and 199, males. Implants were placed in a total of 578 cases. The number of peri-implantitis was present in a total of 29 cases (21 males and 8 females), giving the incidence at 9.6%. The evidence of peri-implantitis was seen in 60 cases, which was in 10.4% of the patients. Among those cases with peri-implantitis, 28 cases (47%) underwent bone graft and 22 cases (43%) underwent maxillary sinus lift. Furthermore, 4 of these patients had systemic diseases such as diabetes or hypertension. Regular management is important for the prevention of peri-implantitis. In other words, early prevention through regular follow-ups to check the status of surrounding soft tissue would be needed to maintain implants.

Reconstructions of extensive composite scalp and cranial defects are challenging due to high incidence of postoperative infection and reconstruction failure. In such cases, cranial reconstruction and vascularized soft tissue coverage are required. However, optimal reconstruction timing and material for cranioplasty are not yet determined. Herein, we present a large skull defect with a chronically infected wound that was not improved by repeated debridement and antibiotic treatment for 3 months. It was successfully treated with anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap transfer for wound salvage and delayed cranioplasty with a patient-specific polyetheretherketone implant. To reduce infection risk, we performed the cranioplasty 1 year after the infection had resolved. In the meantime, depression of ALT flap at the skull defect site was observed, and the midline shift to the contralateral side was reported in a brain computed tomography (CT) scan, but no evidence of neurologic deterioration was found. After the surgery, sufficient cerebral expansion without noticeable dead-space was confirmed in a follow-up CT scan, and there was no complication over the 1-year follow-up period.

Purpose: Short implants are a potential alternative to long implants for use with bone augmentation in atrophic jaws. This meta-analysis investigated the survival rate and marginal bone level (MBL) of surface-modified short vs. long implants. Methods: Electronic and manual searches were performed for articles published between January 2010 and June 2021. Twenty-two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing surface-modified short and long implants that reported the survival rate with at least 1 year of follow-up were selected. Two reviewers independently extracted the data, and the risk of bias and quality of evidence were evaluated. A quantitative meta-analysis was performed regarding survival rate and MBL. Results: The failure rates of surface-modified short and long implants differed significantly (risk ratio, 2.28; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.46, 3.57; P<0.000). Long implants exhibited a higher survival rate than short implants (mean follow-up, 1-10 years). A significant difference was observed in mean MBL (mean difference=-0.43, 95% CI, -0.63, -0.23; P<0.000), favoring the short implants. Regarding the impact of surface treatment in short and long implants, for hydrophilic sandblasted acid-etched (P=0.020) and titanium oxide fluoride-modified (P=0.050) surfaces, the survival rate differed significantly between short and long implants. The MBL differences for novel nanostructured calcium-incorporated, hydrophilic sandblasted acid-etched, and dual acid-etched with nanometer-scale calcium phosphate crystal surfaces (P=0.050, P=0.020, and P<0.000, respectively) differed significantly for short vs. long implants. Conclusions: Short surface-modified implants are a potential alternative to longer implants in atrophic ridges. Long fluoride-modified and hydrophilic sandblasted acid-etched implants have higher survival rates than short implants. Short implants with novel nanostructured calcium-incorporated titanium surfaces, hydrophilic sandblasted acid-etched surfaces, and dual acid-etched surfaces with nanometer-scale calcium phosphate crystals showed less marginal bone loss than longer implants. Due to high heterogeneity, the MBL results should be interpreted cautiously, and better-designed RCTs should be assessed in the future.

전문가치면세정술과 세균막관리교육이 임플란트 주위염 감소에 미치는 효과를 분석하기 위하여 2009년 12월 9일부터 2011년 1월 31일까지 상 하악 대구치부위에 임플란트 식립 후 보철치료까지 완료한 80명의 부분 무치악 환자와 이들에게 식립된 193개의 임플란트를 대상으로 실험군과 대조군을 추출하였다. 실험군은 Watanabe method로 전문가치면세정술을 실시한 후 같은 방법으로 잇솔질교육을 하였고, 대조군에게는 엔진을 이용한 치면연마와 회전법으로 잇솔질 교육을 실시하였으며, 시작일 이후 3, 6, 9개월 재내원하여 반복시행하였고, 치면세균막 검사, 치은염 검사, 임플란트 변연골소실량 검사를 실시하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 전문가치면세정술과 세균막관리교육을 적용한 실험군은 대조군에 비해 6개월 후와 9개월 후에서 치면세균막지수와 치은염지수가 유의하게 낮았고(p<0.05), 변연골소실량에서는 실험군(0.15 mm)이 대조군(0.24 mm)보다 낮아(p=0.155) 차이가 있을 수 있었으며, 전문가치면세정술과 세균막관리교육은 치면세균막지수와 치은염지수에 영향력 있는 요인으로 분석되었다. 2. 임플란트 특성에서 치면세균막지수는 상악이 하악보다 3, 6, 9개월 후에서 유의한 수준으로 낮았고(p<0.05), 기능부하 12개월 이하 군이 13개월 이상 군보다 6개월 후에서 낮았으며(p<0.05), 변연골소실량은 시작일과 9개월 후에서 이회법 시술방식이 일회법 시술방식보다 낮았고, 기능부하 12개월 이하 군이 13개월 이상 군보다 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 Watanabe method를 이용한 전문가치면세정술과 세균막관리교육은 임플란트 주위염을 예방하고 발생된 임플란트 주위염을 개선하는데 효과적인 방법이라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 임플란트 주위염으로 인한 실패를 감소시킬 수 있는 방법으로 전문가치면세정술을 주기적으로 실시하고, 환자 개인별 적합한 잇솔질 방법을 지속적으로 교육하는 임플란트 계속관리제도 도입에 대한 고려가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

urpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the US II plus/GS II Osstem$^{(R)}$ implants through the study for the clinical success rate during the installation of the Osstem¢Á implants after bone graft. Materials and Methods : This study was researched in the 4 medical institutions: Chonnam National University, Chosun University, Bundang Seoul National University Hospital, and FM dental clinic from May, 2002 to September, 2009. Based on the total number of 60 patients whose treatment was the installation of the US II plus/GS II Osstem¢Á implants after bone graft, we evaluated success rate of implants. We analysis the distribution of patient's age and gender, edentulous area, bone type, fixture length and diameter, installation and loading time, donor site, bone graft material and method, antagonistic teeth, and survival and success rate. From these analyses we got the following results. Results : 1. In this study, the total number of patients who have been installed with US II plus implant was 27, and total of 52 implants were installed. The average age was 38.9, with 16 male, and 11 female patients. 2. The total number of patients who have been installed with GS II implant was 33, and total of 54 implants were installed. The average age was 49.7, with 24 male, and 9 female patients. 3. As for bone graft method, either autogenous bone or a mix of autogenous and heterogenous bone was used(88.4%) for US II plus. Chin, iliac, and Maxillary tuberosity were the donor sites for autogenous bone graft, and onlay method of bone graft was performed. 4. Allogenic bone or a mix of autogenous and heterogenous bone was used(77.8%) for GS II. Chin, ramus, and tibia were the donor sites for autogenous bone graft, and GBR method of bone graft was performed. 5. The duration from the installation of implants to setting of final prosthesis was average of 16 months and 10 months for US II plus and GS II respectively. Also, the final follow up period was average of 31 months and 28 months respectively. During this period, one GS II implant was removed from 1 patient due to failure of early osteointegration. 6. The survival rates were 100% and 98.1%, and success rates were 94.2% and 94.4% for US II plus and GS II implant respectively. Conclusion : On the evaluation of our clinical study, both US II plus and GS II Osstem¢Á implants showed the excellent clinical results after bone graft.
