Purpose: Immediate loading of dental implants has been proved to be feasible in partially edentulous jaws. The purpose of this retrospective investigation was to assess the feasibility of immediately loading dental implants in fully edentulous jaws. Methods: A total of 24 patients aged between 53 and 89 years received a total of 154 implants in their edentulous maxillae or mandibles. Among the implants, 45 were set in fresh extracted sockets and 109 in consolidated alveolar bones. The implants were provisionally managed with chair-side made provisional resin bridges and exposed to immediate loading. Implants were followed up for 1-8 years, including radiographic imaging. Marginal bone levels were evaluated based on radiographic imaging. Results: A total of 148 out of the 154 implants survived over the follow-up period of 1 to 8 years, giving a survival rate of 96%. The time or region of the implantation, the pre-implant augmentation, and the length and diameter of the implants had no statistically significant influence on the survival or the success rate. The marginal bone level remained stable with only minimal loss of 0.3 mm after 60 months of loading. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, immediate loading is feasible for dental implants in edentulous jaws.

Objectives: The posterior maxillary region often provides a limited bone volume for dental implants. Maxillary sinus elevation via inserting a bone graft through a window opened in the lateral sinus wall has become the most common surgical procedure for increasing the alveolar bone height in place of dental implants in the posterior maxillary region. The purpose of this article is to assess the change of bone volume and the clinical effects of dental implant placement in sites with maxillary sinus floor elevation and autogenous bone graft through the lateral window approach. Materials and Methods: In this article, the analysis data were collected from 64 dental implants that were placed in 24 patients with 29 lacks of the bone volume posterior maxillary region from June 2004 to April 2011, at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Inha University Hospital. Panoramic views were taken before the surgery, after the surgery, 6 months after the surgery, and at the time of the final follow-up. The influence of the factors on the grafted bone material resorption rate was evaluated according to the patient characteristics (age and gender), graft material, implant installation stage, implant size, implant placement region, local infection, surgical complication, and residual alveolar bone height. Results: The bone graft resorption rate of male patients at the final follow-up was significantly higher than the rate of female patients. The single autogenous bone-grafted site was significantly more resorbed than the autogenous bone combined with the Bio-Oss grafted site. The implant installation stage and residual alveolar height showed a significant correlation with the resorption rate of maxillary sinus bone graft material. The success rate and survival rate of the implant were 92.2% and 100%, respectively. Conclusion: Maxillary sinus elevation procedure with autogenous bone graft or autogenous bone in combination with Bio-Oss is a predictable treatment method for implant rehabilitation.

Purpose. This multicenter retrospective study was performed to evaluate the survival and success rates of immediate placement of USII and SSII Osstem implant (Osstem implant Co, Korea) on the maxillary and mandibular anterior and premolar areas. Materials and methods. Dental records were obtained in 37 patients who were treated with immediate implantation on the maxillary and mandibular anterior and premolar areas in 6 different clinics. The 98 implants were evaluated both clinically and radiographically using predefined success criteria. Results. There was no failed implant in all patients. The mean follow up period was 24.7 months (ranged from 12 to 58 months), and 25.1 months (ranged from 16 to 35 months) in USII and SSII implants, respectively. The crestal bone loss was 3 mm in 3 USII implants during 41 months, and in 1 SSII implant during 22 months. The overall success rate was 94.2% and 97.7% in USII and SSII implants, respectively. The age, gender, diameter, or length of implants, and type of surgery were not influenced to the success rate of immediate implantation. Conclusion. These results suggest that USII and SSII Osstem implant can be used successfully in immediate implantation on the maxillary and mandibular anterior and premolar areas.

Background: The prognosis of wide implants tends to be controversial. While wider implants were initially expected to result in a larger osseointegration area and have higher levels of primary stability, they were reported to have a relatively high rate of failure. The clinical outcome of ultrawide implants of more than 6 mm in diameter was evaluated through a retrospective study. Methods: The investigation was conducted on patients who had received ultrawide implant (${\geq}6mm$ diameter) placements in Seoul National University Bundang Hospital from January 2008 to December 2013. Complications were investigated during the maintenance period, and marginal bone loss was measured using periapical radiography. Primary stability immediately after the implant placement and second stability after second surgery or during impression were measured using $Osstell^{(R)}$ Mentor (Osstell, Sweden) as an implant stability quotient (ISQ). Results: Fifty-eight implants were placed in 53 patients (30 male, 23 female), and they were observed for an average of $50.06{\pm}23.49$ months. The average ISQ value increased from $71.22{\pm}10.26$ to $77.48{\pm}8.98$ (P < 0.005). The primary and secondary stability shows significantly higher at the mandible than at the maxilla (P < 0.001). However, mean survival rate shows 98.28 %. Average marginal bone loss of 0.018 and 0.045 mm were measured at 12 and 24 months after the loading and 0.14 mm at final follow-up date (mean 46.25 months), respectively. Also in this study, the bone loss amount was noticeably small compared to regular implants reported in previous studies. Conclusions: The excellent clinical outcome of ultrawide implants was confirmed. It was determined that an ultrawide implant can be used as an alternative when the bone quality in the posterior teeth is relatively low or when a previous implant has failed.

연구목적: 골유착이라는 개념이 도입된 후, 임플란트의 등장은 치과계에 많은 변화를 일으키게 되었다. 임플란트를 이용한 상실치아의 수복은 안정된 시술방법으로 시행되어져 왔으며 그 적용 범위가 확대되었고 사용 빈도도 급격히 증가해왔다. 이에 따라 국산 임플란트의 사용 빈도도 높아지고 그 종류 또한 증가하였으나 장기간의 임상적, 객관적인 자료를 가진 국산 임플란트의 수는 많지 않은 상태이다. 본 연구는 연세대학교 치과대학 병원에 내원한 환자 중 SLA 표면 처리 및 미세나사선을 가진 내측 연결형의 $Implantium^{(R)}$ 임플란트를 이용하여 치료받은 38명의 환자에게 식립된 106개의 임플란트를 대상으로 6개월에서 30개월까지의 임상적, 방사선학적 결과를 후향적으로 분석하였다. 연구재료 및 방법: 진료기록부를 통해 성별, 연령, 식립 위치, 식립 부위의 골 상태, 식립된 임플란트의 직경 및 길이, 2차수술및골이식여부, 대합치의 유형, 임상적 합병증의 유형 및 빈도 등을 조사하여 그에 따른 분포 및 생존율의 차이와 함께 이들 항목이 변연골 흡수량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 방사선 사진분석으로 임플란트 식립시, 보철물 장착 후 첫 6개월 내지 1년간, 그 이후 연간 변연골 흡수량을 측정하여 분석하였다. 결과: 1. 총 38명에게 식립된 106개의 임플란트 중 1개가 실패하여 누적 생존율은 99.1%로 나타났다. 2. 보철물 장착 후 최소 6개월 이상 정기검진이 가능했던 96개의 임플란트에서 상악에서의 생존율이 97.0%, 하악에서의 생존율은 100%였고, 구치부에서의 생존율은 98.9%였으며 전치부에서의 생존율은 100%였다. 3. 보철물 장착 후 첫 1년간의 변연골 흡수량은 평균 0.17 mm 이었으며, 1년 이후의 연간 변연골 흡수량은 평균 0.04 mm로 통계학적으로 유의차 있게 적은 골소실량을 나타내었다(P<.05). 4. 보철물 장착 후 첫 1년간 연령에 따른 변연골 흡수량의 차이는 보이지 않았으나(P>.05), 1년 이후의 정기 검진 기간에서 50세 이상의 환자에서 50세 미만의 환자보다 큰 연간 변연골 흡수량을 보였다(P<.05). 5. 성별 간, 악궁 간, 전치부와 구치부위 간, 2차 수술 및 골 이식 여부, 보철물의 유형, 대합치의 유형에 따른 변연골 흡수량의 차이는 보이지 않았다(P>.05). 결론: 이상의 결과를 토대로 변연골 흡수량에 영향을 주는 요소로 연령을 들 수 있었으며 성별, 악궁 간, 악궁 내 위치, 2차 수술 및 골 이식 여부, 보철물의 유형, 대합치의 유형에 따른 변연골 흡수량의 차이는 없었다. 본 연구에서 최대 30개월까지의 기간 동안 SLA 표면 처리 및 미세나사선을 가진 내측 연결형의 국산 임플란트의 임상적인 성공률은 만족스러운 결과를 보였으며 변연골 흡수량도 임플란트 성공 기준에 부합하였다.

Adequate bone quantity is one of the important factor to obtain osseointegration after implantation. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) has widely used in implantation for reconstruction of bony defects. Since introducing this procedure, there are many studies about survival rate of implants, changing in surrounding bone volume after function. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the amount of resorption according to placement timing and survival rate after function. The subjects were patients who had been operated with GBR from Jun 2003 to Jun 2004 in Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. They were divided into simultaneous and delayed placement group. The follow up had been performed at the time of just after GBR, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24-month later and standard periapical radiographs were taken to estimate the bone level at the time. The total average of bone level change in radiographs was 1.94mm(${\pm}0.25$), and 1.92mm(${\pm}0.72$) in simultaneous installation, 2.03mm(${\pm}0.25$) in delayed installation. In this report, the survival rates were 92.2% in simulataneous group and 92.3% in delayed group. Insufficient primary stability, early contamination of wound, overloading, poor oral hygiene, and infection were thought to be associated factors in the failed cases.

Introduction: Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a common procedure for the treatment of bone defects and bone augmentation. The nonresorbable barriers are well-documented barriers for GBR because of their stability and malleability. However, few GBR studies have focused on the different types of non-resorbable barriers. Therefore, this study examined the clinical results of different non-resorbable barriers for GBR; expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) (TR-Gore Tex, Flagstaff, AZ, USA), and high-density polytetrafluoroethylene (d-PTFE) (Cytoplast membrane, Oraltronics, Bremen, Germany). Materials and Methods: The analysis was performed on patients treated with GBR and implant placement from January 2007 to October 2007 in the department of the Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. The patients were divided into two groups based on the type of non-resorbable barrier used, and the amount of bone regeneration, marginal bone resorption after prosthetics, implant survival rate and surgical complication in both groups were evaluated. Results: The implants in both groups showed high survival rates, and the implant-supported prostheses functioned stably during the follow-up period. During the second surgery of the implant, all horizontal defects were filled with new bone, and there was no significant difference in the amount of vertical bone defect. Conclusion: In bone defect areas, GBR with non-resorbable barriers can produce favorable results with adequate postoperative management. There was no significant difference in bone regeneration between e-PTFE and d-PTFE.

Purpose: This study was conducted to compare the cumulative survival rates (CSRs) and the incidence of postloading complications (PLCs) between a bone-level internal connection system (ICS-BL) and an external connection system (ECS). Methods: The medical records of patients treated with either a ICS-BL or ECS between 2007 and 2010 at Asan Medical Center were reviewed. PLCs were divided into two categories: biological and technical. Biological complications included >4 mm of probing pocket depth, thread exposure in radiographs, and soft tissue complications, whereas technical complications included chipping of the veneering material, fracture of the implant, fracture of the crown, loosening or fracture of the abutment or screw, loss of retention, and loss of access hole filling material. CSRs were determined by a life-table analysis and compared using the log-rank chi-square test. The incidence of PLC was compared with the Pearson chi-squared test. Results: A total of 2,651 implants in 1,074 patients (1,167 ICS-BLs in 551 patients and 1,484 ECSs in 523 patients) were analyzed. The average observation periods were 3.4 years for the ICS-BLs and 3.1 years for the ECSs. The six-year CSR of all implants was 96.1% (94.9% for the ICS-BLs and 97.1% for the ECSs, P=0.619). Soft tissue complications were more frequent with the ECSs (P=0.005) and loosening or fracture of the abutment or screw occurred more frequently with the ICS-BLs (P<0.001). Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, the ICS-BL was more prone to technical complications while the ECS was more vulnerable to biological complications.
