The Journal of the Korean Academy of Periodontology 2006;36(4):925-938
The aim of this study was to systematically investigate the complications of single implant-supported restorations followed more than 5-year. Thirty-five studies were selected for the systematic review. A total of 3932 single implants were included at the beginning of studies. Thirty-one implants were removed before loading and 91 implants after loading. The overall implant loss rate was 3.1 %. Implant losses were concentrated on the period between loading and 2-year follow-up, and, after a stable period, increased after 5-year follow-up. The mean marginal bone loss at single-tooth implants was well within 0.2 mm/year, i.e., acceptable annual bone loss by the implant success criteria. However, considerable amounts of single implants suffered a marginal bone loss at implant more than 0.2 mm/year. Fistula was a frequent biological complication in the early studies. The most frequent technical problem was a screw loosening, but its frequency was reduced after the use of a gold screw and torque controller. Within the limits of this study, the complications of single implants might be underestimated due to the lack of information about the biological and technical complications available in the relevant literature.

Maxillary palatal mucosa is the most frequently used donor site of the soft tissue for periodontal plastic surgery. In our study, thickness of the palatal mucosa between the mesial side of the maxillary first premolars and the distal side of the maxillary first molars was measured with a periodontal probe and an ultrasonic device in 30 young Korean adults. Using the data, the possibility of the clinical application of ultrasonic devices was evaluated. The results of this study were as follow; 1. The thickness of the palatal mucosa of the maxillary premolars is the thickest and that of the mid-palatal portion of the maxillary first molar is the thinnest. 2. The thickness of the palatal mucosal tissue increases from the gingival margin to the mid-palatal suture. 3. The measurements of the periodontal probe and the ultrasonic device revealed the strong positive correlations.

Perforation of maxillary sinus is a common complication of implant placement in posterior maxilla. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognosis of sinus perforated implants placed in partially edentulous maxillae. Eighteen sinus perforated implants in 15 patients were examined for cumulative survival rate, radiographic preoperative bone level, and radiographic marginal bone level change. Twenty-two non-perforated implants in the same patients served as control. The results were as follows; 1. There was no statistically significant difference in cumulative survival rate between sinus perforated implants and non-perforated implants (P>0.05). 2. There was no statistically significant difference in the marginal bone level between sinus perforated implants and non-perforated implants (P>0.05). 3. There was no statistically significant difference in cumulative survival rate according to the preoperative bone level (P>0.05). These results suggests that perforation of maxillary sinus may not affect implant success in posterior maxillae.

The early exposure of cover screws is a common complication of 2-stage implant technique. The exposure of cover screws between stage I and II surgery may cause inflammation in the soft tissues surrounding the implants, and lead to peri-implantitis or marginal bone loss. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the early exposure of cover screws on implants placed using 2-stage technique. Two hundred and nineteen implants in 77 patients were examined for cumulative survival rate, radiographic marginal bone level change, cause and frequency of the early exposure. The results were as follows: 1. Twenty-five implants showed early exposure of cover screws with a frequency of 11.4%. 2. Cumulative survival rate of the implants with early cover screw exposure was 88.0%, and that of the implants without cover screw exposure was 96.9%. 3. At the time of stage II surgery and 1 year after loading, the marginal bone loss was greater around the implants with early exposure of cover screws than around the implants without cover screw exposure(p <0.05). 4. There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of the early exposure according to the implant diameter, gender, and smoking(p >0.05).

The aim of this study is to monitor reporter gene expression under osteocalcin gene promoter, using a real-time molecular imaging system, as tool to investigate osteoblast differentiation. The promoter region of mouse osteocalcin gene 2 (mOG2), the best-characterized osteoblast- specific gene, was inserted in promoterless luciferase reporter vector. Expression of reporter gene was confirmed and relationship between the reporter gene expression and osteoblastic differentiation was evaluated. Gene expression according to osteoblstic differentiation on biomaterials, utilizing a real-time molecular imaging system, was monitored. Luciferase was expressed at the only cells transduced with pGL4/mOGP and the level of expression was statistically higher at cells cultured in mineralization medium than cells in growth medium. CCCD camera detected the luciferase expression and was visible differentiation-dependent intensity of luminescence. The cells produced osteocalcin with time-dependent increment in BMP-2 treated cells and there was difference between BMP-2 treated cells and untreated cells at 14days. There was difference at the level of luciferase expression under pGL4/mOGP between BMP-2 treated cells and untreated cells at 3days. CCCD camera detected the luciferase expression at cells transduced with pGL4/mOGP on Ti disc and was visible differentiation-dependent intensity of luminescence This study shows that 1) expression of luciferase is regulated by the mouse OC promoter, 2) the CCCD d etection s ys tem is a r eliable quantitative gene d etection t ool f or t he o s teoblas t differentiation, 3) the dynamics of mouse OC promoter regulation during osteoblast differentiation is achieved in real time and quantitatively on biomaterial. The present system is a very reliable system for monitoring of osteoblast differentiation in real time and may be used for monitoring the effects of growth factors, drug, cytokines and biomaterials on osteoblast differentiation in animal.

Halitosis, defined as an unpleasant oral odor, is a commonly experienced condition with a variety of etiological factors and may cause a significant social or psychological handicap to those suffering from it. In most cases, halitosis originates within the oral cavity itself and patients with periodontal disease often suffer from oral malodor. The most common cause of this disease is related to microbiota which reside on the tongue and in the periodontal pocket. This study was undertaken to examine the effect of full mouth disinfection including tongue scraping on oral malodor in a group of patients with chronic periodontitis. The relationship between halitosis and oral health status was also investigated. The volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) scores were significantly correlated with Plaque Index, Bleeding Index, pocket depth, and tongue coating score. The organoleptic ratings were significantly associated with Plaque Index, Bleeding Index, and tongue coating score. The VSC scores and organoleptic ratings correlated strongly with each other. Full mouth disinfection resulted in a significant reduction in the VSC scores, organoleptic ratings, and self-perception of malodor up to 12 weeks. This study indicates that in patients with chronic periodontitis, a full mouth disinfection including tongue scraping has a significant effect in the treatment of oral malodor.

PURPOSE: This study was designed 1) to compare the perception of dental professionals and lay people with respect to minor variations in maxillary anterior tooth size and alignment and their relation to the surrounding soft tissues, and 2) to evaluate the normal tooth-gingiva topographical relationships in periodontally healthy young subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Maxillary anterior teeth were intentionally diagrammed in varying degree of deviation with respect to one of three common anterior esthetic discrepancies including variations in crown length, shape of gingival margin, and length of interproximal contact. 17 images were generated to be preferentially selected by 2 groups consisting of dental professionals and lay people (total of 740). Smiling photographs of 120 dental students who had healthy periodontium were taken and the photographic images were analyzed to be classified as 17 kinds of altered image groups. RESULTS: The results demonstrated noticeable difference between the varying levels of discrepancy. Both group preferred gingival margin of lateral incisor to be 0.5mm lower than that of central incisor. Lay people preferred the gingival margin shape that has 2/9 horizontal component of the crown width, while dental professionals preferred the gingival margin shape that has 1/9 horizontal component of the crown width. Lay people preferred longer length of the interproximal contact (two thirds of the crown length), whereas dental professionals preferred shorter length of the interproximal contact (half of the crown length). Photographic analysis of normal esthetic gingival topography revealed 2/9 horizontal component and short length of the interproximal contact which was of the hybrid nature of the preferences shared by lay people and dental professionals. CONCLUSION: The results of this study show that dental professionals and lay people demonstrated significant difference in their preference of dental esthetic components, which may then influence the decision making process by dental professionals with respect to designing the anterior esthetic gingival line.
