THE EFFECTS OF SURFACE TREATMENT OF DENIAL NICKEL-CHROMIUM ALLOY ON TENSILE BOND STRENGTH

치과용 니켈-크롬합금에 대한 표면 처리가 인장접착강도에 미치는 영향

This study was conducted to evaluate the tensile bond strength by bonding the dental bracket with Super-bond after treating the surface of dental Nickel-Chromium alloy with sandblasting, sandblasting & tin-plating, respectively, and tin-plating. 10 pieces of Nickel-Chromium alloys with brackets bonded with Super-bond without their surface treatment were sampled as a control group, 20 pieces of Nickel-Chromium alloy brackets bonded with Super-bond after treating them with sandblasting as group I, 20 pieces of Nickel-Chromium alloys tin-plated and bonded with Super-bond after sandblasting as group II, and then 20 pieces of alloys with brackets bonded with Super-bond after tin-plating as group III. The result of those examination and comparison is summarized as follows: 1. Group I showed the mean tensile bond strength of $14.41{\pm}2.24MPa$ which was highest among 4 groups, followed by group III($13.59{\pm}.51MPa$), group II($12.27{\pm}.45MPa$), and control group($10.50{\pm}1.57MPa$), respectively. However, it was shown that there was no statistically significant difference between group I and III, group III and II, and group II and control group(p>0.05). 2. The main failure pattern of those brackets showed that $70\%$ of the control group had an adhesive failure at the bracket-Superbond interface, and $30\%$ at the Nickel-Chromium alloy-Superbond interface, while other groups did the adhesive failure at the bracket-Superbond interface. 3. When examined under SEM, it was shown that adhesives were mostly attached to the surface of the Nickel-Chromium alloy for all groups while a considerable quantity of adhesives were attached to the bracket base. Then, those samples treated only with sandblasting showed the most even and remarkable roughness of their surface.

본 연구에서는 치과용 니켈-크롬합금의 표면에 전처리없이 치과용 브라켓을 Super-bond로 접착한 대조군과 샌드블라스팅 및 tin-plating을 각각 혹은 병용으로 표면처리후 Super-bond로 접착한 실험각군의 인장접착강도, 브라켓 탈락양상 및 주사전자현미경 소견을 비교하여 임상적용 가능성을 알아보고자 하였으며 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 인장장접착강도는 니켈-크롬합금의 표면에 샌드블라스팅 처리후 Super-bond로 브라켓을 접착한 실험 I군이 $14.41{\pm}2.24MPa$로 가장 높았고, tin-plating처리후 Super-bond로 접착한 실험 III군이 $13.59{\pm}1.51MPa$, 샌드블라스팅후 tin-lating처리를 하고 Super-bond로 접착한 실험 II군이 $12.27{\pm}1.45MPa$, 특정한 표면처리 없이 Super-bond로 접착한 대조군이 $10.50{\pm}1.57MPa$로 가장 낮게 나타났으나 실험 I군과 실험 III군간, 실험 III군과 실험 II군간, 실험 II군과 대조군간에는 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 2. 브라켓의 주된 탈락양상은 대조군의 경우 $70\%$가 브라켓과 접착제 계면에서 adhesive failure를, $30\%$가 니켈-크롬합금과 접착제 계면에서 adhesive failure를 나타내었고, 실험 각군은 모두 브라켓과 접착제 계면에서 adhesivefailure 를 나타내었다. 3. 주사전자현미경 소견에서 대조군의 경우 일부 레진이 브라켓 기저면에 부착되어 나타났으나 실험 각군에서는 거의 대부분의 레진이 니켈-크롬합금면에 부착되어 관찰되었고, 샌드블라스팅만 시행한 시편면이 가장 균일하고 조밀한 표면 요철상을 나타내었다.
