Abstract

Purpose: Misfit of implant components was very important in terms of prosthodontics. they has been linked to prosthetic complications such as screw loosening and fracture. Although there are many results about rotational freedom or machining tolerance between fixture and abutments, the data about domestic implant systems are lacking. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the rotational freedom of domestic external and internal connection implant systems between their fixtures/anlaogs and abutments comparing imported systems. Materials and Methods: Rotational freedom between abutments and fixtures/analogs was investigated by using digitalized rotational angle measuring device. (1) 1 domestic external connection system(Neobiotec) and 2 imported external connection systems(Nobel Biocare, Anthorgyr), (2) 1 domestic internal connection system(Dentium) and 4 imported external connection systems(Nobel Biocare, Anthorgyr, Straumann, Frident Dentsply), and (3) 1 domestic zirconia external connection abutment(ZirAce) were evaluated. Each group has 3 samples. Mean values for each group were analyzed. Results: The differences relative to rotational freedom between domestic and imported implant systems were observed but domestic external connection implant system showed about 2.67 degrees(in case of fixture) and internal connection system showed about 4.3 degrees(in case of fixture). Domestic zirconia abutment showed less than 3 degrees of rotational freedom in a situation where the abutment was connected to an implant fixture egardless of domestic or imported systems. Conclusion: Newly developed digitalized rotational angle measuring device has high measuring resolution. The rotational freedom of domestic implant systems were similar to imported implant systems.

연구목적 : 본 연구에서는 rotational freedom을 측정할 수 있는 기구를 개발하여 시중에서 유통되고 있는 국산 임플란트 및 다양한 국적의 임플란트들의 기계적인 가공오차들을 측정하여 다양한 임플란트 시스템의 component간의 기계적인 안정성을 평가하고자 한다. 또한 본 연구에서는 더 나아가 최근에 임플란트 abutment로 각광을 받고 있는 각종 ceramic abutment의 절삭 가공오차에 관한 항목을 측정하여 임플란트 제조사 및 임상의들에게 올바른 정보를 제공하고자 한다. 연구재료 및 방법 : 국내에서 유통되는 외부연결구조의 외국산 임플란트 시스템(Nobel Biocare, Anthorgyr)과 국산 시스템(Neobiotec)과 내부연결구조의 임플란트 시스템(외국산:Nobel Biocare, Anthorgyr, Straumann, Frident Dentsply, 국산:Dentium) 별로 임플란트 fixture, abutment, analog를 서로 교차 연결하여 회전각도측정기(rotational angle measuring device)로 freedom of rotational angle을 측정하였다. 국산 외부연결구조의 지르코니아 abutment(ZirAce)를 외부연결구조의 임플란트 시스템(Neobiotec, Nobel Biocare, Anthorgyr)의 fixture와 analog와 교차연결하여 freedom of rotational angle을 측정하였다. 연구결과 : 국산 외부연결구조의 임플란트 시스템은 약 2.67도(fixture와 abutment 연결시), 내부연결구조의 임플란트는 약 4.3도(fixture와 abutment 연결시)의 rotational freedom을 보였다. 국산 지르코니아 abutment는 외국산 및 국산 외부연결구조 임플란트 시스템과 상관없이 3도 이하(fixture와 연결시)의 결과를 보였다. 결 론 : 시제품으로 제작된 디지털 회전각도측정기는 높은 분해능을 갖고 있었으며, 국산 임플란트의 기계적 가공오차는 외국산 임플란트와 거의 유사했다. 국산 세라믹 abutment의 기계적 가공오차는 fixture 제조회사별로 다르게 나타났지만 같은 회사의 절삭가공된 금속 abutment와 비교시 가공오차가 더 적었다.
