PURPOSE. This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effect of implants' two different diameters and cantilever lengths on the marginal bone loss and stability of mplants supporting maxillary prostheses. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ninety-six implants were placed in sixteen completely edentulous maxillary ridges. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group A, implants were placed with a cantilever to anterior-posterior AP spread length (CL:AP) at a ratio of 1:3; Group B, implants were placed with a CL:AP at a ratio of 1:2. Patients were further divided into four sub-groups: Groups A1, A2, B1, and B2. Groups A1 and B1 received small diameter implants while Groups A2 and B2 received standard diameter implants. Bone height and stability measurements around each implant were performed at 0, 4, 8 and 24 months after definitive prostheses delivery. RESULTS. Statistical analysis of the mean implant stability and height values revealed an insignificant difference between Group A1 and Group A2 at all the different time intervals while significantly higher values in Group B1 in comparison with Group B2. Results also showed significantly higher values in Group A1 in comparison with Group B1 and an insignificant difference between Group A2 and Group B2 at all the different time intervals. CONCLUSION. It can be concluded that the use of small diameter implants placed with a CL:AP at a ratio of 1:3 provided predictable results and that the 1:2 CL:AP significantly induced more critical bone loss in the small diameter implants group, which can significantly reduce long term success and survival of implants

마그네슘 양극산화 임플란트는 동물실험에서 우수한 골반응을 나타내었지만 이에 대한 임상 연구는 전무하다. 본 연구에서는 마그네슘 양극산화 임플란트의 단기간 성공률 및 안정성, 변연골 흡수량을 평가하고자 하였다. 강릉원주대학교 치과병원의 임상시험위원회의 승인을 거쳐 건강한 부분 무치악 환자에게 마그네슘 양극산화 임플란트를 식립한 후 일반적인 프로토콜에 따라 보철 치료를 시행하였다. 1차 수술, 2차 수술, 보철물 시적, 하중 후 1개월, 3개월, 6개월 평가를 시행하였으며, 매회 내원 시 임플란트 안정지수(Implant stability quotient, ISQ)를 측정하고 구내 치근단 방사선 사진에서 변연골 흡수량을 산출하였다. 반복측정이 있는 분산분석법을 이용하여 통계적 분석을 시행하였다. 총 50명에게 식립된 101개의 임플란트 중 골유착에 실패한 임플란트는 없었으며, 하중 후 6개월 성공률은 100%였다. 평균 ISQ는 시간이 경과함에 따라 증가하였으며 여성보다 남성에서, 상악보다 하악에서 높게 나타났다 (P<.05). 하중 6개월 후 골질이 양호할수록, 고정체 직경이 클수록 높은 ISQ 값을 보였다 (P<.05). 하중 후 6개월간 평균 변연골 흡수량은 0.26 mm로 관찰되었으며 하악보다 상악에서, 여성보다 남성에서 더 많은 흡수가 관찰되었다. 본 연구의 마그네슘 양극산화 임플란트의 6개월 성공률은 100%이며, 낮은 골질에서도 우수한 골유착이 관찰되었다. 안정성과 변연골 수준 또한 만족스러운 결과를 보였지만 더욱 장기적인 임상연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

The primary stability of implants is an important factor to predict the osseointegration. Recently, the resonance frequency analysis has been used to measure the primary stability. It is an objective method to monitor the stability of implants during healing phase. This study is to validate the differences in the effect of the osteotome method according to the bone quality as well the thickness of cortical bone. Two hundred seventy implants of 3.75mm in diameter(Neoplant, Neobiotech, Korea) were placed in 135 bovine ribs. The bone quality is classified into 3 classes according to the number of bone marrow spaces which implants would be placed, and then classified into 9 subclasses after the ribs were trimmed. Two implants were placed in 15 specimens of each class. The conclusion were as follows: 1. In case of less dense cancellous bone, the oseotome method is more effective in primary stability rather than the drilling method(p <0.05). 2. If there was cortical bone, it is more advantagous to get stronger primary stability. 3. If cancellous bone is more dense or if cortical bone exists, there is no statistical significance between drilling and osteotome method(p <0.05).

No one really doubts that the hottest area of dentistry in 21st century would most likely be 'implant'. With the support of a vast amount of research, implant has been successfully and rapidly absorbed into the field of general dentistry including private practitioners. For teeth with hopeless(or refractory) periodontitis or periapical pathosis, with no hesitation most dentists would think extraction as the sole treatment option followed by prosthodontic replacement possibly including implant. Not many dentists would take Trasplantation/Replantation as another treatment option for a particular condition. Dentistry is often more focused on 'Restoration' than 'Preservation' of natural dentition. 'Biologic Implant' is obviously much closer to the concept of 'Preservation'. Many different types of biologic implant system have been introduced to clinical dentistry so far. Many of those have failed to earn reasonable acknowledgement despite of the clinical success they brought. For some reason biologic implant has rather been alienated for long time. RPI(Ring Pin Implant) is designed to improve the prognosis and success rate of transplanted/replanted teeth. RPI is a Ti-based custom made implant system. It is fabricated either by electric casting or milling process. The major feature RPI gas is the 'ring & hole' structure. The hole should be no less than 1mm diameter to allow bone bridge formation thru it. The ring structure and bone bridge formation creates anti-torque activity, which largely increases the 'initial stability' of the transplanted/replanted teeth. It is also reported that RPI is beneficial in the aspect of resisting root resorption following replantation/transplantation procedure.

최근 심미 보철을 위해 높은 강도와 정밀도를 가지면서 동시에 자연치와 유사한 상아질 색을 구현할 수 있는 세라믹 계열의 지르코니아 임플란트 지대주가 보철 재료로서 각광을 받고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 삼차원적 유한요소응력분석을 이용하여 기존의 티타늄 소재의 임플란트 지대주와 지르코니아 소재의 임플란트 지대주의 응력분포비교를 통해 지르코니아 임플란트 지대주의 기계적 안정성을 간접적으로 확인하고자 하였다. 악골에 식립된 internal conical joint type과 external butt joint type의 임플란트 매식체에 티타늄 임플란트 지대주 또는 지르코니아 임플란트 지대주를 지대주 나사로 연결하고 상부에 금합금관을 장착하는 유한요소모형을 설계하였다. 교합면 중심으로부터 3mm 편측에 수직 방향으로 250N의 하중을 인가하여 교합력에 의해 임플란트 지대주에서 발생하는 등가응력분포를 분석하였다. 유한요소분석결과 지르코니아 임플란트 지대주와 티타늄 임플란트 지대주의 응력 분포는 유사하게 관찰되었으나 최대등가응력은 임플란트 연결 방식에 상관없이 티타늄 임플란트 지대주에 비해 지르코니아 임플란트 지대주가 약 15% 정도 높게 나타났다. 그럼에도 불구하고 티타늄에 비해 지르코니아의 더 높은 기계적 강도를 고려해 볼 때 임상에서도 기존의 티타늄 임플란트 지대주와 마찬가지로 지르코니아 임플란트 지대주도 임상적인 기계적 안정성을 가질 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: Simultaneous implantation has been traditionally limited to patients with at least 5 mm of residual bone to ensure that the implant is completely stabilized. This is considered to be one of the most critical factors for primary implant stability and parallelism and, subsequently osseointegration. Recently, improved initial implant stability is provided by advancement of surgical techniques, implant designs and surface treatments. This has led surgeons to extending simultaneous treatment option to patients with below 4 mm of residual bone height, despite the lack of much data. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate and compare the status of implants which are installed by delayed and simultaneous methods. Material and methods: The subjects were patients(121 patients, 278 implants) who had been operated with sinus lifting from 2003 to 2007 in Sun Dental Hospital. Lateral window approach with autograft and xenograft(1:1 ratio) were carried out for all sinus lifting. 4 types of implant were used. The mean follow up period was 26.3 months(19 - 58 months) in delayed group, and 22.8 months(18 - 43 months) in simultaneous group. Results: The survival rate of implant restoration of this study was 98.2% in delayed group and 91.7% in simultaneous group. In simultaneous group, wide-platform type implants showed 100% survival rate. The total average of marginal bone loss in radiographs was $0.96\;{\pm}\;0.29\;mm$ in delayed group and $1.02\;{\pm}\;0.31\;mm$ in simultaneous group. Conclusion: Simultaneous implantation with sinus lifting(below 4mm of residual bone height) could be predictable treatment.

Objective: To gain basic information regarding the biologic stability of plasma ion-implanted miniscrews and their potential clinical applications. Methods: Sixteen plasma ion-implanted and 16 sandblasted and acid-etched (SLA) miniscrews were bilaterally inserted in the mandibles of 4 beagles (2 miniscrews of each type per quadrant). Then, 250 - 300 gm of force from Ni-Ti coil springs was applied for 2 different periods: 12 weeks on one side and 3 weeks contralaterally. Thereafter, the animals were sacrificed and mandibular specimens including the miniscrews were collected. The insertion torque and mobility were compared between the groups. The bone-implant contact and bone volume ratio were calculated within 800 mm of the miniscrews and compared between the loading periods. The number of osteoblasts was also quantified. The measurements were expressed as percentages and analyzed by independent t-tests (p < 0.05). Results: No significant differences in any of the analyzed parameters were noted between the groups. Conclusions: The preliminary findings indicate that plasma ion-implanted miniscrews have similar biologic characteristics to SLA miniscrews in terms of insertion torque, mobility, bone-implant contact rate, and bone volume rate.

Assessment of implant mobility is an important and reliable method to clinically evaluate implant stability. PerioTest is a precise and reproducible device that cam dynamically measure the reaction of damping characteristics of peri-implant tissue. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of amount of implant surface area, diameter, type, implantation site, degrees of cortical engagement, and length of time in function on PTVs and to find out the most determining factor on PTVs. The results are as follows 1. 5.0mm diameter implants show significantly lower PTV than that of 3.75mm diameter implants. 2. PTV in the mandible is significantly lower than that of the maxilla 3. In the maxilla, there is no significant difference in PTV during the first year of implant function, but during the second year a significant decrease in PTV is noted. 4. In the mandible, there is a significant decrease in PTV during the first and second year of implant function. 5. Implantation site seems to be the most determining factor on PTV among the influencing factors in this study. In conclusion, the amount of implant surface area, type, degrees of cortical engagement had no significant effect on PTV, but installation site and diameter influenced significantly on PTV

Purpose: Placement of endosseous implants in the atrophic maxilla is often restricted because of the lack of supporting bone. In this article, augmentation of the maxillary sinus floor with deproteinized bovine bone to enable insertion of endosseous implants is described. The technique is aimed at providing a cortical layer on top of the graft to ensure a reliable seal of the maxillary sinus and to achieve optimal stability of the bone graft in case of simultaneously placement of dental implants. Methods: The procedure was used in 200 patients (839 implants), using deproteinized bovine bone. The mean follow-up was 28.5 months. No inflammation of the bone grafts nor of the maxillary sinus occurred. The patients received implant supported overdentures or bone-anchored bridges. Results: The survival rate of implant restoration of this study was 97.6%. The total average of marginal bone loss in radiographs was $0.20{\pm}0.38$ mm. Insufficient primary stability, bony quality, and infection were thought to be associated factors in the failed cases. Conclusion: This study documented that deproteinized bovine bone, when used as a grafting material for augmentation of the sinus floor, may lead to proper osseointegration of a endosseous implant.
