PURPOSE. This study aimed to compare the marginal and internal fit of 3-unit monolithic zirconia restorations that were designed by using the data obtained with the aid of intraoral and laboratory scanners. MATERIALS AND METHODS. For the fabrication of 3-unit monolithic zirconia restorations using impressions taken from the maxillary master cast, plaster cast was created and scanned in laboratory scanners (InEos X5 and D900L). The main cast was also scanned with different intraoral scanners (Omnicam [OMNI], Primescan [PS], Trios 3 [T3], Trios 4 [T4]) (n = 12 per group). Zirconia fixed partial dentures were virtually designed, produced from presintered block, and subsequently sintered. Marginal and internal discrepancy values (in ㎛) were measured by using silicone replica method under stereomicroscope. Data were statistically analyzed by using 1-way ANOVA and Kruskal Wallis tests (P<.05). RESULTS. In terms of marginal adaptation, the measurements on the canine tooth indicated better performance with intraoral scanners than those in laboratory scanners, but there was no difference among intraoral scanners (P<.05). In the premolar tooth, PS had the lowest marginal (86.9 ± 19.2 ㎛) and axial (92.4 ± 14.8 ㎛), and T4 had the lowest axio-occlusal (89.4 ± 15.6 ㎛) and occlusal (89.1 ± 13.9 ㎛) discrepancy value. In both canine and premolar teeth, the D900L was found to be the most marginally and internally inconsistent scanner. CONCLUSION. Within the limits of the study, marginal and internal discrepancy values were generally lower in intraoral scanners than in laboratory scanners. Marginal discrepancy values of scanners were clinically acceptable (< 120 ㎛), except D900L.

All-ceramic restorations have become an attractive alternative to porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns. In-Ceram, and more recently IPS Empress 2 were introduced as a new all-ceramic system for single crowns and 3-unit fixed partial dentures. But their strength and marginal fit are still an important issue. This study evaluated the fracture resistance and marginal fit of three systems of 3 unit all-ceramic bridge fabricated on prepared maxillary anterior resin teeth in vitro. The 3 all-ceramic bridge systems were: (1) a glass-infiltrated, sintered alumina system (In-Ceram) fabricated conventionally, (2) the same system with copy-milled alumina cores (copy-milled In-Ceram), (3) a heat pressed, lithium disilicate reinforced glass-ceramic system (IPS Empress 2). Ten bridges of each system with standardized design of framework were fabricated. All specimens of each system were compressed at $55^{\circ}$ at the palatal surface of pontic until catastrophic fracture occurred. Another seven bridges of each system were fabricated with standard method. All of the bridge-die complexes were embedded in epoxy resin and sectioned buccolingually and mesiodistally. The absolute marginal discrepancy was measured with stereomicroscope at ${\times}50$ power. The following results were obtained: 1. There was no significant difference in the fracture strength among the 3 systems studied. 2. The Weibull modulus of copy-milled In-Ceram was higher than that of In-Ceram and IPS Empress 2 bridges. 3. Copy-milled In-Ceram($112{\mu}m$) exhibited significantly greater marginal discrepancy than In Ceram ($97{\mu}m$), and IPS Empress 2 ($94{\mu}m$) at P=0.05. 4. The lingual surfaces of the ceramic crowns showed smaller marginal discrepancies than mesial and distal points. There was no significant difference between teeth (incisor, canine) at P=0.05. 5. All-ceramic bridges of three systems appeared to exhibit sufficient initial strength and accept able marginal fit values to allow clinical application.

PURPOSE. This study aimed to investigate the potential clinical application of digitized silicone rubber impressions by comparing the accuracy of zirconia 3-unit fixed partial dentures (FPDs) fabricated from 2 types of data (working model and impression) obtained from a laser scanner. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ten working models and impressions were prepared with epoxy resin and vinyl polysiloxane, respectively. Based on the data obtained from the laser scanner (D-700; 3Shape A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark), a total of 20 zirconia frameworks were prepared using a dental CAD/CAM system (DentalDesigner; 3shape A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark / Ener-mill, Dentaim, Seoul, Korea). The silicone replicas were sectioned into four pieces to evaluate the framework fit. The replicas were imaged using a digital microscope, and the fit of the reference points (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, and P7) were measured using the program in the device. Measured discrepancies were divided into 5 categories of gaps (MG, CG, AWG, AOTG, OG). Data were analyzed with Student's t-test ($\alpha$=0.05), repeated measures ANOVA and two-way ANOVA (${\alpha}=0.05$). RESULTS. The mean gap of the zirconia framework prepared from the working models presented a narrower discrepancy than the frameworks fabricated from the impression bodies. The mean of the total gap in premolars (P=.003) and molars (P=.002) exhibited a statistical difference between two groups. CONCLUSION. The mean gap dimensions of each category showed statistically significant difference. Nonetheless, the digitized impression bodies obtained with a laser scanner were applicable to clinical settings, considering the clinically acceptable marginal fit ($120{\mu}m$).

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Implant-supported fixed cantilever prostheses are influenced by various biomechanical factors. The information that shows the effect of implant number and position of cantilever on stress in the supporting bone is limited. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of implant number variation and the effect of 2 different cantilever types on stress distribution in the supporting bone, using 3-dimensional finite element analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A 3-D FE model of a mandibular section of bone with a missing second premolar, first molar, and second molar was developed. $4.1{\times}10$ mm screw-type dental implant was selected. 4.0 mm height solid abutments were fixed over all implant fixtures. Type III gold alloy was selected for implant-supported fixed prostheses. For mesial cantilever test, model 1-1 which has three $4.1{\times}10$ mm implants and fixed prosthesis with no pontic, model 1-2 which has two $4.1{\times}10$ mm implants and fixed prosthesis with a central pontic and model 1-3 which has two $4.1{\times}10$ mm implants and fixed prosthesis with mesial cantilever were simulated. And then, 155N oblique force was applied to the buccal cusp of second premolar. For distal cantilever test, model 2-1 which has three $4.1{\times}10$ mm implants and fixed prosthesis with no pontic, model 2-2 which has two $4.1{\times}10$ mm implants and fixed prosthesis with a central pontic and model 2-3 which has two $4.1{\times}10$ mm implants and fixed prosthesis with distal cantilever were simulated. And then, 206N oblique force was applied to the buccal cusp of second premolar. The implant and superstructure were simulated in finite element software(Pro/Engineer wildfire 2.0). The stress values were observed with the maximum von Mises stresses. RESULTS: Among the models without a cantilever, model 1-1 and 2-1 which had three implants, showed lower stress than model 1-2 and 2-2 which had two implants. Although model 2-1 was applied with 206N, it showed lower stress than model 1-2 which was applied with 155N. In models that implant positions of models were same, the amount of applied occlusal load largely influenced the maximum von Mises stress. Model 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3, which were loaded with 155N, showed less stress than corresponding model 2-1, 2-2 and 2- 3 which were loaded with 206N. For the same number of implants, the existence of a cantilever induced the obvious increase of maximum stress. Model 1-3 and 2-3 which had a cantilever, showed much higher stress than the others which had no cantilever. In all models, the von Mises stresses were concentrated at the cortical bone around the cervical region of the implants. Meanwhile, in model 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3, which were loaded on second premolar position, the first premolar participated in stress distribution. First premolars of model 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3 did not participate in stress distribution. CONCLUSION: 1. The more implants supported, the less stress was induced, regardless of applied occlusal loads. 2. The maximum von Mises stress in the bone of the implant-supported three unit fixed dental prosthesis with a mesial cantilever was 1.38 times that with a central pontic. The maximum von Mises stress in the bone of the implant-supported three-unit fixed dental prosthesis with a distal cantilever was 1.59 times that with a central pontic. 3. A distal cantilever induced larger stress in the bone than a mesial cantilever. 4. A adjacent tooth which contacts implant-supported fixed prosthesis participated in the stress distribution.

Statement of problem. In-Ceram system is one of the all-ceramic crowns that can be used in anterior 3 unit fixed partial dentures and posterior single crowns. The alumina core used in In-Ceram system is manufactured using slip-casting technique. The slip-casting technique is difficult and technique sensitive. To improve this problem, tape-casting method was introduced into dentistry. There were no studies to examine the effect of margin design on the margin fitness of all-ceramic crowns fabricated from alumina tape. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to compare the marginal fitness of glass infiltrated alumina core fabricated from aqueous-based alumina tape according to different margin types ($90^{\circ},\;110^{\circ},\;135^{\circ}$ shoulder margin). Material and method. Three upper central resin incisors were prepared with $90^{\circ},\;110^{\circ}$, and $135^{\circ}$ shoulder margins for all-ceramic crowns, respectively. The resin teeth were duplicated and master die and special plaster die were made as usual. After alumina cores were fabricated from aqueous-based alumina tape, cores were cemented to each 15 epoxy dies replicated from three resin teeth with resin cement. These cemented cores were embedded in epoxy resin. Specimens were cut mesiodistally and buccolingually. Marginal gap and discrepancy were measured under microscope. Results. The marginal gap and discrepancy of $90^{\circ}$ marginal angle was $75.1{\mu}m,\;86.6{\mu}m,\;110^{\circ}$ marginal angle was $41.5{\mu}m,\;50.7{\mu}m$ and $135^{\circ}$ marginal angle was $51.7{\mu}m,\;54.2{\mu}m$, respectively. The smallest value was seen in 110 (angle, which was statistically significant compared to that of $90^{\circ}$ angle (p<0.05). Conclusion. Marginal fitness of alumina cores made of alumina tape with $110^{\circ}$ shoulder margin was best and others were clinically acceptable.

연구목적: 임플란트 보철물의 유지형태 중 나사 및 시멘트 혼합 유지형의 경우 나사 풀림력 등에 영향을 주는 임플란트 구성 성분의 응력에 관한 연구가 부족하였다. 임플란트 상부 보철물의 유지형태, 즉, 시멘트 유지와 나사 유지, 그리고 이 두 가지 유지형태가 서로 연결된 혼합형의 임플란트 보철물의 응력분산의 특징들을 3차원 유한요소분석법을 이용하여 비교하고자 하였다. 연구재료 및 방법: 하악골에서 제1소구치 부위와 제1대구치 부위에 2개의 임플란트 (SS II, Osstem Co. Ltd., Seoul, Korea)를 식립한 가상의 3본 계속가공의치를 모델화하였다. 지대주 종류와 그 위치에 따라, 4가지 모형 군으로 나누어 실험하였다. 모형 1은제1대구치와 제1소구치 각각의 고정체에 모두 동일한 시멘트 유지형 지대주인 Comocta abutment (Osstem Co. Ltd) 를 장착하여 3본 계속가공의치를 합착시킨 경우이고, 모형 2는 제1대구치와 제1소구치 각각의 고정체에 모두 나사 유지형 지대주인 Octa abutment (Osstem Co. Ltd) 를 장착하여 3본 계속가공의치를 나사로 고정시킨 경우이며, 모형 3은 제1대구치의 고정체에는 시멘트 유지형 지대주인 Comocta abutment를 장착하고, 제1소구치에는 나사 유지형 지대주인 Octa abutment를 장착한 후 3본 계속가공의치를 각각 시멘트 합착 및 나사로 고정시킨 경우이다. 그리고 모형 4는 모형 3에서 각각 제1대구치 및 제1소구치의 지대주를 맞바꾼 후 3본 계속가공의치를 나사 및 시멘트로 고정시킨 경우로 나누었다. 평균저작압인 하중을 대구치 565 N과 소구치 288 N의 힘으로 설정하고 수직방향으로 중심와와 협측 교두정에, 그리고 $30^{\circ}$ 경사 하중을 협측 교두정 부위에 준 다음 골, 고정체, 지대주, 그리고 지대주 나사 등에 나타나는 von-Mises stress 양상을 평가하였다. 결과: 네 가지 모형 중 나사 유지형 지대주인 Octa abutment를 제1대구치와 제1소구치 부위에 사용한 모형 2가 전반적으로 가장 낮은 안정적인 응력 분포를 보였다. 네 가지 모형 모두 피질골 및 고정체에 미치는 응력 크기 및 분포는 거의 유사하며, 치조골에 작용하는 응력은 하중의 종류와 상관없이 주로 피질골에 집중되었다. 지대주, 지대주 나사, 그리고 보철물 나사 등에 미치는 응력 크기나 분포는 모형에 관계없이 나사 유지형인 경우가 시멘트 유지형인 경우에 비해 낮은 안정적인 값을 보였다. 제1대구치와 제1소구치의 상부 구조물의 차이에 의한 교호작용 (reciprocal action)은 상대적으로 약하였다. 모든 부위에서 중앙 수 직하중, 교두정 수직하중, 그리고 교두정 경사하중의 순으로 응력값이 증가하였다. 결론: 본 유한 요소실험의 한계내에서 나사 및 시멘트 혼합 유지형의 임플란트 보철물은 시멘트 유지형만 사용하는 경우와 비교하여 주위에 더 큰 응력을 나타내지는 않았다. 이상적인 passive fit의 가정하에서 나사 유지형의 임플란트 보철물이 본체와 주위에 가장 작은 응력을 나타내었다.
