성견에서 이산화탄소 레이저 조사후 임프란트의 표면 변화

Abstract

Not only the implantation itself but also the long term stability of the implant became a matter of concern because of the popularization of implantation. A lot of treatment method has been offered. But it doesn't seem that the clinical research plan has been established. It is necessary to remove the contaminant effectively and reduce the damage of implant surface and soft tissue during the procedure. The proper use of CO₂ laser can minimize the problems above and can be used to treat peri-implantitis. The purpose of this study was to establish a standard irradiation amount of CO₂ laser. It was made from the measurement of the temperature change of the surface and the micro-changes of the surface when the osseointegrated impalnts of the adult dogs were exposed to the CO₂ laser of 1, 2, 3, 5 W of output. The peri-implantitis can be effectively treated by CO₂ laser of 2∼5W output without any damages on the surface of the implant.
