Abstract

Purpose: To analyze the stress distribution of the implant and its supporting structures through 3D finite elements analysis for implants with different hexagon heights and to make the assessment of the mechanical stability and the effect of the elements. Materials and methods: Infinite elements modeling with CAD data was designed. The modeling was done as follows; an external connection type ${\phi}4.0mm{\times}11.5mm$ Osstem$^{(R)}$ USII (Osstem Co., Pusan, Korea) implant system was used, the implant was planted in the mandibular first molar region with appropriate prosthetic restoration, the hexagon (implant fixture's external connection) height of 0.0, 0.7, 1.2, and 1.5 mm were applied. ABAQUS 6.4 (ABAQUS, Inc., Providence, USA) was used to calculate the stress value. The force distribution via color distribution on each experimental group's implant fixture and titanium screw was studied based on the equivalent stress (von Mises stress). The maximum stress level of each element (crown, implant screw, implant fixture, cortical bone and cancellous bone) was compared. Results: The hexagonal height of the implant with external connection had an influence on the stress distribution of the fixture, screw and upper prosthesis and the surrounding supporting bone. As the hexagon height increased, the stress was well distributed and there was a decrease in the maximum stress value. If the height of the hexagon reached over 1.2mm, there was no significant influence on the stress distribution. Conclusion: For implants with external connections, a hexagon is vital for stress distribution. As the height of the hexagon increased, the more effective stress distribution was observed.

연구 목적: 본 연구는 hexagon 높이에 따른 임플란트 각 부위와 주위 지지조직의 응력분포를 3차원 유한요소 해석을 통해 평가하여 hexagon 높이가 기계적 안정성에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 시행되었다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 외측 연결 형태의 ${\phi}4.0mm{\times}11.5mm$ USII (Osstem Co., Pusan, Korea) 임플란트 시스템을 이용하여 하악 제 1대구치 부위에 임플란트를 식립하여 보철 수복한 경우를 연구 모델로 가정하고 임플란트 고정체의 외측 연결부인 hexagon의 높이를 각각 0.0 mm, 0.7 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm로 적용한 CAD data를 유한요소 모형화하였다. ABAQUS 6.4 (ABAQUS Inc., Providence, RI, USA)를 이용하여 산출된 응력 값 중에서 등가응력을 기준으로 각 요소(상부 치관, 지대주 나사, 고정체, 치밀골, 해면골)에서 나타나는 최대 응력 값을 비교 하였다. 결과: 외측 연결을 갖는 임플란트의 hexagon의 높이는 고정체, 지대주 나사, 상부 보철물 그리고 주위 지지골에 대해 응력 분산에 영향을 주었다. Hexagon의 높이가 증가할수록 임플란트의 응력 분산은 더 잘 이루어졌으며, 최대 응력 값의 감소를 보였다. Hexagon의 높이가 1.2 mm 이상이 되면 응력 분포에 더 이상 크게 기여하지 않았다. 결론: 외측연결을 갖는 임플란트에서 hexagon은 응력 분산에 필수적인 요소이며 그 높이가 증가할수록 더욱 효과적인 응력의 분산이 나타났다.
