본 연구는 치수강 상아질 부위 및 상아질 접착제 종류에 따른 결합 강도를 측정하고 이들 사이의 상관관계를 구명하고자 시행되었다 45개의 대구치를 포매 후, 대조군에서는 교합면 법랑질 제거 후 ＃600 SiC paper까지 순차연마하여 상아질을 노출시켰고, 실험군에서는 치수강 개방 후 1시간동안 NaOCl에 보관 후 axial wall과 pulpal floor를 노출시켰다. 노출된 상아질 면에 상아질 접착제를 적용한 후 Z-100을 충전한 다음 40초간 광중합하였다. 사용된 상아질 접착제는 Scotchbond Multi-Purpose와 Single Bond, Clearfil SE Bond였다. $37^{\circ}C$ 증류수에 24시간 보관 후, 저속 diamond saw를 이용하여 0.7mm 두께로 수직절단하고 고속 diamond point(#104)로 단면적 $1{mm}^2$가 되도록 시편을 제작하고, Universal testing machine에서 미세인장 결합강도를 측정하였다. 1. 모든 상아질 접착제의 미세인장강도는 대조군, axial wall군, pulpal floor군 순으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 2. 대조군에서 SM과 BB는 SE에 비해 유의성 있게 높은 결합강도를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 3. SM과 SB는 대조군에 비해 axial wall군과 pulpal floor군에서 유의성있게 낮은 결합강도를 보였으나, SE에서는 pulpal floor군만이 유의성 있게 낮은 결합강도를 보였다(p<0.05). 4. Axial wall군과 pulpal floor군에서는 상아질 접착제의 종류에 따른 유의차를 보이지 않았다. 5. 전자현미경 소견에서는 대조군에 비해 axial wall군과 pulpal floor군이 더 부드러운 접착 계면을 나타내었다. 혼성층의 두께는 결합강도의 감소와는 관련이 없었다.

년령이 증가함에 다라 치아도 신체 다른부위와 같이 노화현상이 나타나는데, 특히 보존영역에서는 상아질 및 치수의 노화에 대한 지식은 매우 중요하다고 생각된다. 일반적으로 상아질 및 치수의 노화는 치수강이나 치근관내 석회화된 조직의 양이 증가하고 세포나 혈관의 수가 감소되는 현상으로 나타나며, 임상에서는 흔히 치수강이나 치근관내 pub stone이나 dystrophic calcification을 발견하게 된다. 이러한 노화현상은 년령이 증가한다는 요소외도 우식, 마모, 교모, 또는 치과시술등이 그 원인이 된다고 알려져 있으며 실제 젊은환자에서도 상아질 및 치수가 노화되어 있는 치아를 볼 수 있다. 그러나 대개 년령적으로는 50세에서 60세사이의 환자에서는 치아의 노화가 있을수있는 가능성이 많다고 알려져 있으므로 임상에서 이점을 고려해야될 것으로 생각되며, 또 한가지는 상아질 및 치수에 이와같은 치유의 능력이 저하된다는 사실이다. 이러한 사실은 우리가 광범위한 충전물을 가진 치아에서 치수복조술을 시행할때는 충전물이 없고 우식이 생긴 치아에서 시술여부를 결정할 때 매우 중요한 점이 되고있는것 처럼 보존시술시 고려되어야 할 중요한 점으로 생각된다. 노인에서 보존치료의 결과는 환자가 신장질환이나 위장병, 폐결핵, 당뇨병등 만성적인 전신 질환을 가지고 있는 경우에는 그 치유가 지연되는 경우가 있기는 하나 시술시에 이러한 사실과 년령증가에 따른 치수 및 상아질의 형태학적 변화나 생리적변화등을 고려해서 치료술식을 약간 달리하면 젊은 환자에서와 똑같은 결과를 가져 올수 있다는 확신 또는 중요하다고 보겠다. 본 난에서는 노인환자의 보존치료시에 임상에서 고려해야할 사항들을 충전시술시와 근관치료시로 나누어서 각 시술 별로 간단히 살펴보조져 한다.

Clinical suggestion for the limitation of application time of NaOCl solution is needed to avoid large reductions in resin-dentin bond strength. The aim of this study was to measure the change of ${\mu}$-tensile bond strength after the various application time of 5.25% NaOCl solution to pulp chamber dentin in endodontic access cavity, and to evaluate the effect of 10% sodium ascorbate application for 10 min on bond strength after the treatment of 5.25% NaOCl solution. In this experiment, there were no statistical differences(p > 0.05) in bond strengths between upper chamber dentin and lower chamber dentin. NaOCl-treated group for 20 min did not show any significant decrease(p > 0.05) in bond strength than non-treated control group. In contrast to that, bond strengths of NaOCl-treated groups for 40 & 80 min were significantly lower(p < 0.05) than that of non-treated control group. 10% sodium ascorbate retreated group for 10 min after 5.25% NaOCl application for 40 min to chamber dentin showed the recovery of bond strength significantly. However, the bond strength of sodium ascorbate retreated group after 5.25% NaOCl application for 80 min was still significantly lower(p < 0.05) compared to the non-treated control group, which means the reductions in resin-dentin bond strength were not fully reversed. On the contrary, sodium ascorbate retreated group after 5.25% NaOCl application for 5 min showed significantly higher(p < 0.05) bond strength compared to the control group, which demonstrates its superior recovery effect. In SEM exminations of specimens retreated with 10% sodium ascorbate after NaOCl application for 40 & 80 min showed that resin tags were formed clearly and densely, but weakly in density and homogeneity of individual resin tag compared to the control specimen.

Shell teeth, a rare dysplastic condition of dentin, was first described by Rushton in 1954. It is characterized by normal enamel, extremely thin dentin, correspondingly large pulp chambers, and shortened roots. This case report is of a male 3 years old. He is refered to the Chosun University dental hospital Pediatric Dentistry because of dental caries and dentin hypoplasia. Intra-oral examination showed attrition of all primary teeth. Radiographic examination showed that the pulps were extremely large with only a shell of surrounding hard tissue. The permanent premolars were missed congenitally. The diagnosis was shell teeth. Because of behavior problem, all dental treatment was undertaken with general anaesthesia. Extration, endodontic treatment and SS crown were performed. The patient has now been wearing the space maintainer and manages it well. The patient is seen intervals for supervision and follow-up care.

Dentinogenesis imperfecta is an example of an inheritable dentinal defect originating during the histodifferentiation stage of tooth development, with involvement of the primary and permanent teeth. Shields, Bixler and El-Kafrawy proposed three types of Dentinogenesis imperfecta : Type I, II, III. Witkop reported a prevalence of 1 in 8000 with the trait, and no significant difference between male and female. Affected teeth have red-brown discoloration often with distinctive wearness of occlusal surface of posterior teeth and incisal surface of anterior teeth. Once enamel seperated from underlying defective dentin, the dentin demonstrates significantly acclerated attrision. Radiographically, the teeth have thin roots, bulbous crown, cervical constriction, and obliteration of the root canals and pulp chambers. In primary dentition periapical lesions or multiple root fractures are often observed. In successive generations the phenotypes of discoloration and wearness of teeth occurred, and one of the patient's subships, 10 year-old sister, showed general discoloration of her teeth and mild wearness. In this case, a 4 year-old male reported to the Yonsei University Pedodontics clinic, with a chief complaint of discolored teeth. The teeth showed generally yellowish-brown discoloration and moderate wearness. In radiographic features, obliteration of pulp, bulbous crown, and short roots were observed. It was diagnosed as Dentinogenesis imperfecta. The posterior teeth were restored with Stainless Steel Crown, and defective incisors including left upper primary central incisor which was extracted due to a root fracture with Open-faced Stainless Steel crown.

Dentinogenesis imperfecta is an inheritable disease of dentinal defect, generally is inherited as a single autosomal dominant trait. It has a prevalence of 1 in 8000 with the trait, and no significant difference between male and female, with involvement of the primary and permanent teeth. Shields proposed three types of Dentinogenesis imperfecta. Affected teeth have various discoloration, separation of enamel rapid destruction of underlying dentin, and severe attrition. Radiographically, the teeth have cervical constriction, bulbous crown, thin root, obliteration of the root canals and pulp chambers, and periapical lesions in a sound tooth. The objective of treatment is rehabilitation of the esthetics, the masticatory function, and the vertical dimension of occlusion. In these cases, two pediatric patients reported to the Kyungpook University Pediatric clinic, with a chief complaint of discolored teeth and severe attrition. As a result of clinical and radiographic exam, it was diagnosed as Dentinogenesis imperfecta. The posterior teeth were restored with Stainless Steel Crown, and the anterior teeth were restored with composite resin veneering.

Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) is a hereditary disorder of dentinal defect. It is generally inherited as a single autosomal dominant trait. DI usually affects both the primary and permanent dentition. Affected teeth have various types of discolorations, rapid destruction of the dentin, and severe attrition. In radiologic view, the affected teeth have bulbous crowns, short roots and narrow or closed pulp chambers. The treatment objective is to prevent additional attrition and recover the vertical dimension of occlusion. The aim of this report was to present the long-term prognosis in 15 years in a pair of siblings. Both the patients had DI with tooth attrition and discoloration. Different treatment procedures were used, depending on the difference in the timing of intervention. The first patient saved most of his teeth. The second patient had all of her teeth extracted. This report could be helpful for early diagnosis and overall treatment of DI.

Dentinogenesis imperfecta is an inherited disorder of dentin formation, usually exhibiting an autosomal dominant mode of transmission. Type I dentinogenesis imperfecta occurs in patients afflicted with osteogenesis imperfecta. Type II dentinogenesis imperfecta is not associated with osteogenesis imperfecta. Type III dentinogenesis imperfecta (Brandywine type) occurs in a racial isolate area in the state of Maryland. In all three types, teeth of both dentitions are affected with variable clinical appearances. The teeth are opalescent with the color ranging from bluish-gray to brown to yellowish. The dentin is abnormally soft, providing inadequate functional support to the overlying enamel. Although the enamel is normal, it fractures or chips away easily, exposing the occlusal and incisal dentin. The exposed soft dentin often undergoes rapid and severe functional attrition. The teeth exhibit bulb-shaped crowns with constricted cementoenamel junctions and thin roots. The teeth will exhibit varying stages of obliteration of the coronal and root pulpal chambers. The cementum, periodontal ligament and supporting alveolar bone appear normal. The enamel is normal. The mantle dentin remains nearly normal, whereas the remaining dentin is severely dysplastic. The dentinal tubules are disoriented, irregular, widely spaced, and usually larger than normal.

The purpose of this study was to observe in vitro pulp chamber temperature rise during composite resin polymerization with various light-curing sources. The kinds of light-curing sources were plasma arc light(P), low heat plasma arc light, traditional low intensity halogen light, low intensity LED(L-LED), and high intensity LED(H-LED). Temperature at the tip of light guide was measured by a digital thermometer using K-type thermocouple. Occlusal cavities$(2{\times}2{\times}1.5mm)$ were so prepared in extracted human premolars as to the remaining dentin thickness was 1mm. Dentin adhesive was applied to all cavities. Experimental groups consisted of no base group, ionomer glass base group, and calcium hydroxide base group. Temperature before and after resin filling was measured. Temperature at the light guide tip was the highest with P and the lowest L-LED. Temperature before resin filling was the highest with H-LED and the lowest with L-LED. Temperature after resin filling was the highest with H-LED and the lowest with L-P and with L-LED. The lining of base partially reduced the temperature rise.
