Purpose : The aim of this study was to compare surgical complications between simple implant placement and implant placement combined with complicated surgical procedures. We also evaluated prosthetic complications according to the specific types of prosthesis. Material and Method : A retrospective analysis of dental chart of patients who was performed implant therapy during the period from June 2003 to December 2005 was carried out. This study was performed on 408 patients (208 male, 200 female). In addition, 1671 implants were performed. Based on their medical record and radiographs, the authors evaluated surgical and prosthetic complications, surgical procedures accompanied at the time of implant, risk factors of implant failure etc. Result : Surgical complications were developed on 358 implants(21.4% on total placed implants) and wound dehiscence was most prevalent complication. On maxillary posterior area, surgical complications developed more frequently on implants with major surgery and showed a significant difference. And complication rate of implants accompanied with GBR was higher than that of simple implants placement and also showed significant difference. The implant supported prosthesis showed no statistical difference in the occurrence of omplications according to the types of prosthesis, and food retention was the most common postprosthetic complication. Also we speculated that length and width of implant showed significant orrelation to the failure of implant primary osseointegration. Conclusion : Based on the result, clinician should provide more careful maintenance for patients with implant placement accompanied by complicated surgical procedure. And periodic maintenance for the patient is requested for long-term survival of implant therapy
Aim：The ultimate goal of periodontal treatment is regeneration of periodontium that have been lost due to inflammatory periodontal disease. Recently, Silicon contained Coralline Hydroxyapatite and Beta Tricalcium Phosphate bone substitute have been introduced to achieve periodontal regeneration. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the Silicon contained Coralline Hydroxyapatite and Beta Tricalcium Phosphate(BoneMedik-DM , Meta Biomed Co., Ltd. Oksan, Korea) on periodontal intrabony defects. Methods and materials：Clinical effects of Silicon contained Coralline Hydroxyapatite and Beta Tricalcium Phosphate implantation in intrabony defects were evaluated 6 months after surgery in Sixty-one intrabony defects from Fourty-six patients with chronic periodontitis. Twenty-nine experimental defects in twenty-five patients received the Silicon contained Coralline Hydroxyapatite and Beta Tricalcium Phosphate(test group), while Thirty-Three defects in twenty-one patients were treated with flap procedure only(control group). Comparative observation were done for preoperative and postoperative differences between control and experimental clinical parameters,-clinical attachment loss(CAL), probing depth(PD), bone probing depth(BPD), gingival recession. Results：Postoperative improvements in CAL, PD, BPD were observed in both test and control groups(P<0.01). However, the improvements in CAL, PD, BPD of the test group were significantly greater than control group. Conclusion：Healing of the both groups were uneventful during experimental periods. Use of Silicon contained Coralline Hydroxyapatite and Beta Tricalcium Phosphate in a flap operation resulted in significantly greater improvements in CAL, PD, and BPD over flap operation alone. Silicon contained Coralline Hydroxyapatite and Beta Tricalcium Phosphate will be good bone substitute materials for treatment of intrabony defects.
