전악인상채득시 인상용 트레이가 경석고 모형의 정확도에 미치는 영향

THE INFLUENCE OF IMPRESSION TRAYS ON THE ACCURACY OF THE STONE CASTS POURED FROM COMPLETE-ARCH IMPRESSIONS

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of reproduction of stone casts made from complete-arch impressions using different trays. The trays used were : 1) nonperforated custom tray, 2) perforated custom tray, 3) nonperforated Rim-Lock tray, 4) perforated stock tray. Impressions were made from an dentulous acrylic resin model with metal inserts in first premolars and second molars. Transverse distance, sagittal distance and diagonal distance were measured using 4 landmarks. Measurements were made by using 3 dimensional measuring machine. The impression material used was an addition silicone. Impressions were poured at once with a Type IV dental stone. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and student t-test with a sample size of five. The results were as follows : 1. There were statistical differences in amount of dimensional change in according to the tray types. In amount of mean dimensional change, perforated custom tray was the first smallest, nonperforated custom tray was the second, nonperforated Rim-Lock tray and perforated stock tray were the largest. 2. There were statistical differences in amount of dimensional change between nonperforated custom tray and nonperforated Rim-Lock tray, and between perforated custom tray perforated stock tray. 3. There were satistical differences in amount of dimensional change between nonperforated custom tray and perforated custom tray, but there was not a statistical difference between nonperforated Rim-Lock tray and perforated stock tray. 4. There was not a statistical difference in amount of dimensional change between upper and lower arch in all tray types.
