Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent of the potential erosion of enamel induced by three different types of commercial fermented milk using the pH cycle model. Methods: Specimens were treated and soaked up in three types of fermented milk and in mineral water for 10 min, four times a day for 8 days, and all of the specimens were immersed in artificial saliva outside of treatment times. The microhardness of the surface was measured by a microhardness tester, and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to identify the enamel surface morphology. Results: The differences in the surface microhardness (ΔVHN) of enamel were different among the groups (p<0.05). The four groups were in descending order of ΔVHN: the liquid type group, condensed-drink type group, condensed-stirred type group, and control group. The liquid type group had a higher ΔVHN than the other two fermented milk groups (p<0.05). Based on SEM observation, the most severe surface damage was due to the liquid type of fermented milk. Conclusions: Customers' careful discretion is advised when purchasing these types of fermented milk. This information is anticipated to be of much value in the prevention of dental erosion.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate tooth whitening and microhardness after treatments with tooth bleaching agents containing dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) and 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP) which were used in-office bleaching. Thirty enamel specimens were obtained from human premolars and randomly divided into 3 groups(n=10). Tooth bleaching agents were prepared with DCPD (0 g for controls, 0.1 g and 1 g for experimental groups) and HP solution (35% HP). All groups were applied to enamel surfaces for 60 min for 1 day. The pH of each tooth bleaching agent was measured. Tooth color, microhardness of enamel surfaces were also measured. The tooth bleaching agents containing DCPD showed a significant increase in pH compared to the ones without DCPD(p<0.05). Paired t-tests showed significant difference in color values of enamel before and after bleaching in all the groups(p<0.05). As a result, changes in color, containing DCPD group does not contain a statistically significant difference between groups was observed.(p>0.05). In all groups, tooth hardness after bleaching showed a significant decrease in microhardness (p<0.05). However, the DCPD concentration increased in the bleaching, microhardness values slightly decreased. Based on the above results, tooth bleaching agents containing DCPD and 35%HP were equally effective. Due to increases in pH and effective reduction of tooth surface decalcification, the surface characteristics are exposed to a reduced degree of negative effects, resulting in fewer constituent enamel alterations. Thus, commercial availability of the constituents of tooth whitening materials can be achieved.

치아는 인체중에서도 혹한 환경에서 부분으로 높은 하중과 타액과 같은 강 부식성 매체로 그 환경이 상상을 초월한다. 즉 반복적으로 가해지는 하중(응력)과 침식을 유발하는 타액과 음식물 등이다. 따라서 치아가 쉽게 파괴되거나 썩는 현상이 나타나게 된다. 이렇게 사용되다가 치아의 역할을 다하게 되면 인공치아를 사용하게 되는데 그 재료가 바로 타이타늄(Ti)이다. 생체매식재로 사용되는 Ti는 반응성이 높아 산소와 쉽게 결합하여 표면에 TiO, $TiO_2$, 및 $Ti_2O_3$와 같은 산화피막을 표면에 형성함으로써 뛰어난 부식저항성과 생체적합성을 가지며 생체에 독성이 없고 탄성계수가 골과 비슷하여 골과 임플란트 경계면에서 응력분산에 유리한 성질 등 물리적, 기계적 성질이 뛰어나 외과용 임플란트 재료로 가장 좋은 재료이다. 금속 임플란트의 생체적합도는 임플란트 재료 자체보다는 생체 내 산화막이 화학적으로 불안정할 때 부식이 발생하게 되고 그 결과 금속이온이 주위로 유리되어 조직반응을 일으키므로 금속의 표면을 덮고 있는 산화막에 의해 좌우된다. Ti는 생체불활성재료로서 매식재료로 사용할 경우 뼈와 잘 융합되는 골유착을 나타내나 골과 화학적결합은 하지 않고 골형성을 적극적으로 유도하지 못함으로 환자의 치유기간이 길어지게 된다. 이러한 이유로 골조직내 임플란트의 접합을 개선하기위한 연구가 이루어져 골과의 결합을 높이기 위해 골유착을 일으키는 Ti에 골성장을 유도하는 뼈성분인 하이드록시 아파타이트(HA)라는 물질을 플라즈마 코팅법을 사용하던가 아니면 Hanks' solution내에서 침적 후 HA도금을 하는 방법 등으로 처리하고 있다. 그러나 플라즈마 코팅법은 고온에서 처리를 행하고 Hanks' solution내에 침적할 경우 Ti표면에 밀착도가 저하되거나 합금의 상변화 등으로 인하여 표면처리 과정 중에서 내식성이 크게 감소될 수 있다. 이러한 여러 가지 코팅법을 통하여 골 유착을 증진시키기 위한 연구는 계속되고 있지만 임상적으로 사용 후 문제가 단시일에 발생되는 것도 아니고 수년이 지나야 나타나게 된다. 이러한 방법으로 코팅을 하게 되면 골과 잘 유착이 되어 자연차아와 같은 기능을 하게 된다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 최소화하는 방법이 나노구조를 표면에 형성시켜 골유착을 쉽게 함으로써 이를 개선할 수 있을 것으로 생각되어 본 강의에서는 임플란트의 문제와 사용되는 재료에 대하여 고찰하여 자연치아를 대체 할 수 있는지 알아보았다.

치아 스케일링은 치아에 단단하게 결착된 치석을 제거하는 치과 시술로서 치아 우식 및 잇몸염증을 예방하는 중요한 시술이다. 특히 요즘에는 치료시간의 단축을 통한 효율성 증대의 목적으로 전기적 에너지를 미세한 진동에너지로 바꾸는 원리를 활용한 초음파 스케일링 기법이 많이 행해지고 있다. 하지만 치아 및 치석 확보에 따른 어려움으로 인해 스케일링 시술을 충분히 훈련하기란 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 사용자가 가상현실을 통해 시각 및 촉각 피드백을 받으며 초음파 스케일링 시술을 훈련할 수 있는 치아 스케일링 시뮬레이션을 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 치아, 치석 및 잇몸의 볼륨모델과 스케이러 팁을 구성하는 각 부문의 관통깊이를 이용한 햅틱 랜더링 기법을 적용하여 스케일러의 모양에 따른 햅틱 피드백을 생성하였다. 그리고 치아의 손상을 줄이기 위해 스케일러의 팁 부문이 치아 표면에 되도록 평형을 이루어야 한다는 점에 입각하여, 치석을 구성하는 복셀들의 치아 디스턴스필드 값 비교를 통해 치석과 치아 사이의 접착면을 추출하고 스케일러의 팁 부분과 충돌하는 추출된 집착면의 각도를 고려한 스케일링 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 또한 수동 스케일링과는 달리 초음파 스케일링은 초음파의 진동에너지에 의해 점진적으로 치아와 치석 사이의 결속력이 감소된다는 점에 착안하여 치아와 치석의 접착면을 구성하는 지점 사이의 거리에 따른 결속력 감쇠 모델을 고안하였다.

Interdental enamel stripping is an usual method for correction of abnormal tooth shape and tooth size discrepancy which is one of the etiologic factors of malocclusion. Clinically it Is useful to correct the minor crowding in anterior teeth and posterior occlusion during finishing stage of orthodontic treatment. But this procedure has risks such as irreversible tooth reduction and remaining roughness of enamel surface can accumulate plaque which can evoke periodontal problem. Even if various methods were introduced to minimize the enamel surface roughness, their evaluation was limited in morphologic differences by scanning electronic microscope(SEM). The purpose of this study was to compare the various interdental enamel stripping method by SEM and to quantify the difference of surface roughness by use of Surfcorder SEF-30D(Kosaka Lab. Ltd.) which can measure the roughness of surface. The stripping methods were divided into mechanical and mechanical-chemical method. Air-rotor stripping and separating strip were used for mechanical stripping and $37\%$ phosphoric acid was used for chemical stripping. The enamel surface roughness after mechanical or mechanical-chemical stripping of interproximal surfaces of premolars which were extracted for orthodontic purpose were measured and compared by means of SEM and $Surfcorder^{\circledR}$, the results were as follows. 1. Enamel surface of primary treated by coarse diamond bur and separating strip groups showed highest value of roughness. 2. To compare the primary treated groups between mechanical and mechanical-chemical method, the latter group showed lower value of roughness remarkably. 3. Mechanical stripping groups which were treated both coarse and fine instrument showed lower value of roughness as much as non treated group. 4. The use of Pumice for final polishing did not show significantly smoothening the stripped enamel surface any more.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the cutting efficiency of coarse grit diamond burs with air-turbine handpiece on natural tooth. Materials and methods: Four groups of coarse grit diamond bur were selected: Komet (A), Shofu (B), Premier (C), and Mani (D). The extracted maxillary central incisors were used, and ten cuts were made on each specimen, using the rotary diamond burs. The surface of each bur was measured at the upper, middle, and bottom of the bur with confocal laser scanning microscope and imaged with SEM. The data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and t-test at the significance level of 0.05. Results: The surface roughness was measured. At the A diamond bur, the Sa values were $52.93\;{\mu}m$, $48.32\;{\mu}m$, $46.79\;{\mu}m$, $45.06\;{\mu}m$, and $43.43\;{\mu}m$ for control, test 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively. The Sa values were $50.68\;{\mu}m$, $45.62\;{\mu}m$, $44.41\;{\mu}m$, $44.10\;{\mu}m$, and $42.46\;{\mu}m$ for B diamond bur, $58.02\;{\mu}m$, $55.53\;{\mu}m$, $52.22\;{\mu}m$, $48.26\;{\mu}m$, and $45.36\;{\mu}m$ for C diamond bur, and $50.11\;{\mu}m$, $46.73\;{\mu}m$, $45.46\;{\mu}m$, $42.58\;{\mu}m$, and $41.80\;{\mu}m$ for D diamond bur. Surface roughness after each bur use showed significant changes, but no significant difference was found in surface roughness change between bur systems. Conclusions: Surface roughness in the same bur system showed significant differences after each tooth preparation. However no statistically significant differences were found in surface roughness between bur systems. The SEM images between control and test 4 showed the abraded particles.

Recently implant supported single crown is the popular treatment option to replace a single missing tooth. The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyze and evaluate the survival of implants with the $TiUnite^{TM}$ surface for single tooth replacement. From September 2002 to December 2006, 269 TiUniteTM surfaced implants were used in single tooth replacements at the Institute of Oral Health Science, Samsung Medical Center. Twenty one cases were excluded because of neighbor implants, missing records & short follow up period. Among 248 implants, the 129 implants (52.0%) were inserted in the maxilla and 119 (48.0%) in the mandible. One hundred implants placement (40.3%) were combined with guided bone regeneration, and 36 implants placement (14.5%) were combined with sinus bone augmentation. Mean observation period was $26.0{\pm}11.8$ months after implant placement. Twelve implants were recorded as failures, rendering a single implant survival rate of 95.2% over the observation period. Among failed 12 implants, 10 implants placed in the maxilla. The survival rate in the maxilla was 92.2% and in the mandible was 98.3%. The use of $TiUnite^{TM}$ surfaced single implant placement showed high survival rate for short time period.
