목적: 이 논문의 목적은 CAD/CAM 의치상 레진과 열중합 의치상 레진의 굴곡 강도를 비교해보고, 두께에 따른 굴곡 강도 변화도 비교해보는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 열중합 의치상 레진은 Lucitone 199^® (C-LC)을 사용하였다. 3D printing 의치상 레진으로는 DIOnavi - Denture (P-DO)와 DENTCA - Denture Base II (P-DC)를 사용하였다. 밀링 PMMA 블록으로는 Vipi Block Gum (M-VP)과 M-IVoBase^® CAD (M-IV)를 사용하였다. 시편의 최종 규격은 65.0 mm × 12.7 mm × 1.6 mm / 2.0 mm / 2.5 mm였다. 굴곡 강도와 굴곡 탄성율을 측정하기 위해 3점 굽힘 시험을 실시하였다. 그리고 파절된 시편의 단면을 주사전자현미경 (SEM) 을 사용하여 분석하였다. 데이터의 정규성을 확인한 뒤 일원분산분석(one-way ANOVA)을 사용하여 유의 수준 P = 0.05로 설정하여 그룹 간의 차이를 평가한 뒤, 사후 분석을 위해 Tukey HSD test를 시행하였다. 결과: 동일 두께 내에서, P-DO를 제외한 나머지 CAD/CAM 의치상 레진들과 열중합 의치상 레진의 굴곡 강도는 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. M-VP는 열중합 의치상 레진 보다 굴곡 강도가 높게 나타났고, P-DC와 M-IV는 낮은 굴곡 강도를 보였다. 굴곡 탄성률은 M-VP에서 제일 높게 나타났고 C-LC, P-DO, P-DC, M-IV 순으로 낮아졌으며 재료간에 모두 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 두께에 따른 굴곡 강도는, C-LC에서는 2.5 mm가 1.6 mm보다 유의하게 높은 굴곡 강도를 보였고, P-DC, M-VP는 2.5 mm와 2.0 mm에서 1.6 mm보다 유의하게 높은 굴곡 강도가 나타났다. M-IV에서는 두께가 증가할수록 유의한 굴곡 강도 증가가 나타났다. SEM 분석 결과 서로 다른 재료들의 파절된 단면은 각기 다른 양상을 띄었다. 결론: 본 연구에서 사용된 CAD/CAM 의치상 레진의 굴곡 강도는 각 재료의 성분 및 특성에 따라 다양하게 나타났다. CAD/CAM 의치상 레진의 굴곡 강도는 두께가 감소하여도 1.6 mm 이상의 두께에서는 ISO 20795-1:2013에서 제시하는 굴곡 강도보다 높게 나타났다. 하지만 보다 얇은 두께의 의치를 임상적으로 사용하기 위해서는, 더 낮은 두께의 의치상 레진의 다른 특성들에 관한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties of three-dimensional (3D) printed denture base resin incorporating microcapsules containing plant essential oils. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Denture base specimens containing up to 3% w/v essential oil microcapsule powders (MCPs), i.e., eucalyptus, geranium, lavender, menthol, and tea tree, in two resins (Detax and NextDent 3D+) were 3D printed using two printers (Asiga and NextDent 5100). The dispersion and interaction of the MCPs in the resin were assessed by SEM while the mechanical properties of the incorporated denture base including flexural strength (MPa), flexural modulus (MPa), Vickers hardness (VHN), and surface roughness (Ra) were also subsequently evaluated. Statistical analysis of any differences in mean values was determined using a two-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc testing (α = .05). RESULTS. The spherical shape of the MCPs was maintained during the mixing and polymerization/printing process. However, the Detax-Asiga group showed significant agglomeration of the MCPs even at the lowest MCP concentration levels (0.5% w/v). Overall, as the microcapsule concentration increased, the mean flexural strength decreased, though the menthol MCP groups remained compliant with the ISO standard. The flexural modulus and harness remained relatively unchanged, and the flexural modulus complied with the ISO standard regardless of the MCP concentration. Surface roughness increased with the addition of the MCPs but also remained below that required for clinical acceptance. CONCLUSION. Incorporation of microencapsulated plant essential oils into 3D printed denture base resin was successfully achieved. While incorporation negatively influenced flexural strength and surface roughness, little effect on flexural modulus and Vickers hardness was demonstrated.

Purpose: In this study, we added two kinds of photoinitiators (CQ and TPO) to prepare two kinds of denture base resins (Bis-GMA series and UDMA series) for three-dimensional (3D) printing to compare and analyze their mechanical and biological properties and to find the optimal composition. Methods: Control specimens were made using the mold made of polyvinyl siloxane of the same size. Light curing was performed twice for 20 seconds on both the upper and lower surfaces with LED (light emitting diode) light-curing unit (n=10). Experimental 3D printing dental resins were prepared, to which two photoinitiators were added. Digital light processing type 3D printer (EMBER, Autodesk, CA, USA) was used for 3D printing. The specimen size was 64 mm×10 mm×3.3 mm according to ISO 20795-1. The final specimens were tested for flexural strength and flexural modulus, and MTT test was performed. Furthermore, one-way analysis of variance was performed, and the post-test was analyzed by Duncan's test at α=0.05. Results: The flexural strength of both Bis-GMA+CQ (97.12±6.47 MPa) and UDMA+TPO (97.40±3.75 MPa) was significantly higher (p<0.05) in the experimental group. The flexural modulus in the experimental group of UDMA+TPO (2.56±0.06 GPa) was the highest (p<0.05). MTT test revealed that all the experimental groups showed more than 70% cell activity. Conclusion: The composition of UDMA+TPO showed excellent results in flexural strength, flexural modulus, and biocompatibility.

목적: 다양한 3D 프린팅 의치상 레진과 여러 가지 의치 첨상 재료 간의 전단결합강도를 평가하여 기존의 열중합 의치상 레진과의 전단결합강도를 비교 평가하고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 열중합레진(Vertex RS)과 3D프린팅 의치상 레진 두종(DENTCA Denture base II, NextDent^TM Base)을 사용하였다. 의치 첨상 재료로는 성분이 다른 총 4종(Tokuyama Rebase II fast, Kooliner, Denture Liner, Denture Liner, Lang Jet Denture Repair Kit)을 사용하여 12개의 군으로 분류하였다. ISO/TS 11405규격에 따라 접착을 시행하였다. 전단결합강도를 측정하였고, 이후 입체현미경과 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 접착 계면을 관찰하고 파절편의 분석을 통하여 파절 양상을 조사하였다. 결과: 3D 프린팅 의치상 레진 군에서 의치 첨상 재료와의 전단결합강도가 열중합레진 군에 비해 유의하게 낮은 전단결합강도 결과를 나타내었다(P < 0.05). Polymethyl methacrylate계열의 첨상재료의 경우, 의치상종류와 관계없이 높은 전단결합강도를 보였다. 파절 양상은 대부분의 군에서 접착성 파절이 나타났고 일부 군에서 응집성 파절과 혼합성 파절 양상이 나타났다. 결론: Polymethyl methacrylate를 주성분으로 하는 의치 첨상 재료가 실험에 사용된 모든 의치상 레진에서 다른 의치 첨상 재료와 비교하여 높은 전단 결합강도 값을 나타내었지만, 직접법으로 의치 첨상을 시행할 경우 단량체로 Isobutyl methacrylate 성분의 의치 첨상재료를 사용하는 것이 전단결합강도면에서 유리할 것으로 사료된다.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the flexural strength of a 3D-printed denture base resin (Cosmos Denture), after different immediate repair techniques with surface treatments and thermocycling. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Rectangular 3D-printed denture base resin (Cosmos Denture) specimens (N = 130) were thermocycled (5,000 cycles, 5℃ and 55℃) before and after the different repair techniques (n = 10 per group) using an autopolymerized acrylic resin (Jet, J) or a hard relining resin (Soft Confort, SC), and different surface treatments: Jet resin monomer for 180 s (MMA), blasting with aluminum oxide (JAT) or erbium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser (L). The control group were intact specimens. A three-point flexural strength test was performed, and data (MPa) were analyzed by ANOVA and Games-Howell post hoc test (α = 0.05). Each failure was observed and classified through stereomicroscope images and the surface treatments were viewed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). RESULTS. Control group showed the highest mean of flexural strength, statistically different from the other groups (P < .001), followed by MMA+J group. The groups with L treatment were statistically similar to the MMA groups (P > .05). The JAT+J group was better than the SC and JAT+SC groups (P < .05), but similar to the other groups (P > .05). Adhesive failures were most observed in JAT groups, especially when repaired with SC. The SEM images showed surface changes for all treatments, except JAT alone. CONCLUSION. Denture bases fabricated with 3D-printed resin should be preferably repaired with MMA+J. SC and JAT+SC showed the worst results. Blasting impaired the adhesion of the SC resin.

Purpose. This in-vitro study evaluated and compared the color stability of 3D-printed and conventional heat-polymerized acrylic resins following aging, mechanical brushing, and immersion in staining medium. Materials and methods. Forty disc-shaped specimens (10 mm in diameter and 3 mm thick) were prepared from two 3D-printed [DentaBASE (DB) and Denture 3D+ (D3D)] and one conventional polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) denture materials. The specimens were thermo-cycled, subjected to mechanical brushing, and were immersed in either coffee, lemon juice, coke, or artificial saliva (AS) to simulate one and two years of oral use. Color measurements of the specimens were recorded by a spectrophotometer at baseline (T0), and after one (T1) and two years (T2) of simulation. The color changes (ΔE) were determined and also quantified according to the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) units. Descriptive statistics, followed by factorial ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc test (α=.05), were applied for data analysis. Results. The independent factors, namely material, staining medium, and immersion time, and interaction among these factors significantly influenced ΔE (P<.009). Irrespective of the materials, treatments, and time, the highest and the lowest mean ΔEs were observed for PMMA in lemon juice (4.58 ± 1.30) and DB in AS (0.41 ± 0.18), respectively. Regarding the material type, PMMA demonstrated the highest mean ΔE (2.31 ± 1.37), followed by D3D (1.67 ± 0.66), and DB (0.85 ± 0.52), and the difference in ΔE between the materials were statistically significant (P<.001). All the specimens demonstrated a decreased color changes at T2 compared to T1, and this difference in mean ΔE was statistically significant (P<.001). Conclusion. The color changes of 3D-printed denture resins were low compared to conventional heat polymerized PMMA. All the tested materials, irrespective of the staining medium used, demonstrated a significant decrease in ΔE values over time.
