The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microleakage electrochemically using different retrograde filling materials, different root resection angle, and different cavity preparation instruments. 104 extracted single-rooted teeth were selected for this study. 100 teeth were used as experimental groups and four was used as controls. Anatomical crowns were resected, root canals were prepared, and the apical 2 mm of roots were removed. The experimental roots were randomly divided into five equal groups. Experimental groups : Group 1. no bevel, cavity preparation with ultrasonic instruments, amalgam filling Group 2. no bevel, cavity preparation with ultrasonic instruments, SuperEBA cement filling Group 3. no bevel, cavity preparation with ultrasonic instruments, desiccated ZOE filling Group 4. $45^{\circ}$ bevel, cavity preparation with ultrasonic instruments, amalgam filling Group 5. no bevel, cavity preparation with conventional bur, amalgam filling Microleakage was measured once a day for 30 days using electrochemical method and were analyzed statistically. The results were as follows : 1. The group with Super EBA cement filling showed the least marginal leakage from second to fourth day(p<0.05), there was no significant difference between the group with amalgam filling during eighth to eighteenth day(p>0.05), but after the nineteenth day here was a higher marginal leakage than the group with amalgam filling(p<0.05). 2. The group with desiccated ZOE filling demostrated that the highest marginal leakage, started on the eighth day(p<0.05). 3. The group using ultrasonic instrument showed lower marginal leakage than the group using bur until the nineteenth day(p<0.05), but there was no significant differnce with the group using bur after twentythird day(p>0.05). 4. The group without bevel showed lower marginal leakage than the group with bevel (p<0.05). 5. Whether bevel or nor had much more effect on marginal leakage than with cavity perparation instrument when the cavity was retrogrdefilled with amalgam(stepwise regression).

When conventional root canal treatment is failed or contraindicated, retrograde root canal filling following apicoectomy is a valuable procedure, aimed at hermetically sealing the root canal against leakage of irritants from the canal into the periapical tissue. In this in vitro investigation, to analyze apical microleakage electrochemically in teeth with different retrograde filling materials and preparation types, single - rooted tooth was cut 2mm from the apex and each Class I and Slot preparation was prepared. Experimental groups : Group 1. Amalgam filling with cavity varnish in Class I preparation Group 2. Scotchbond 2+Silux filling in Class I preparation Group 3. Gutta percha filling with ZOE cement in Class I preparation Group 4. Amalgam filling with cavity varnish in Slot preparation Group 5. Scotchbond 2+Silux filling in Slot preparation Each specimens was immersed in 1% solution of KCl, and applied a potential of 9V external power supply. Measurements of the current flow were obtained at 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 25 and 28 day after immerson. Marginal microleakage were compared and evaluated. The results were as follows ; 1. The group filled with composite resin with dentin bonding agent shows lower apical microleakage value than the group filled with amalgam following varnish application (P<0.01). 2. In the group filled with gutta percha, apical microleakage value was the hightest 3. There was no significant difference between Class I cavity and Slot type cavity regardless of the used materials.

This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the apical leakage in the following retrofilling techniques after apical resection; No apical cavity preparation and no retrofilling(control group), Amalgam(group I) or silver glass ionomer cement(group II) retrofilling after apical cavity preparation with mini contra-angle and bur, Amalgam(group III) or silver glass ionomer cement(group N) retrofilling after apical cavity preparation with ultrasonic micro endo tip. Extracted ninety upper anterior and lower canine teeth were fixed in skull simulators and root canals were prepared with step-back method and obturated with gutta-percha and zinc oxide eugenol sealer. Obturated roots were resected 2mm from apical ends and apical cavities of 1mm width and 2mm depth were prepared and retrofilled by above mentioned methods. After application of nail varnish on all surface except resected surface, apical 1/3 of the roots were placed in 1% methylene blue solution for 3 days. After longutudinal sectioning to expose central parts of filled materials, depths of penetrated dye were measured by measuring microscope and were analyzed statistically. The results were as follows. 1. Having no relation with instruments used in apical cavity preparation, amalgam retrofilling groups(group I and II) showed less apical leakage which was not significant statistically than no retrofilling group(control group) (P<0.05), but silver glass ionomer cement retrofilling gruoups(group II and IV) showed significantly less apical leakage than no retrofilling group(control group) (P<0.01). 2. In the groups retrofilled with the same material, the apical leakage in cavities prepared with ultrasonic micro endo tip (group III and IV) was less than that in cavities prepared with mini contra-angle and bur(group I and II), but not significant statistically(P>0.05). 3. When apical cavities were prepared with same instrument. the egroups retrofilled with silver glass ionomer cement(group II and IV) showed significantly less apical leakage than the groups retrofilled with amalgam(group I and III)(<0.01).

The basic principles in the design of Class II amalgam cavity preparations have been modified but not changed in essence over the last 90 years. The early essential principle was "extension for prevention". Most of the modifications have served to reduce the extent of preparation and, thus, increase the conservation of sound tooth structure. A more recent concept relating to conservative Class II cavity preparations involves elimination of occlusal preparation if no carious lesion exists in this area. To evaluate the ideal ClassII cavity preparation design, if carious lesion exists only in the interproximal area, three cavity design conditions were studied: Rodda's conventional cavity, simple proximal box cavity and proximal box cavity with retention grooves. In this study, MO amalgam cavity was prepared on maxillary first premolar. Three dimensional finite element models were made by serial photographic method. Linear, eight and six-nodal, isoparametric brick elements were used for the three dimensional finite element model. The periodontal ligament and alveolar bone surrounding the tooth were excluded in these models. Three types model(B option, Gap option and R option model) were developed. B option model was assumed perfect bonding between the restoration and cavty wall. Gap option model(Gap distance: $2{\mu}m$) was assumed the possibility of play at the interface simulated the lack of real bonding between the amalgam and cavity wall (enamel and dentin). R option model was assumed non-connection between the restoration and cavty wall. A load of 500N was applied vertically at the first node from the lingual slope of the buccal cusp tip. This study analysed the displacement, 1 and 2 direction normal stress and strain with FEM software ABAQUS Version 5.2 and hardware IRIS 4D/310 VGX Work-station. The results were as followed. 1. Rodda's cavity form model showed greater amount of displacement with other two models. 2. The stress and strain were increased on the distal marginal ridge and buccopulpal line angle in Rodda's cavity form model. 3. The stress and strain were increased on the central groove and a part of distal marginal ridge in simple proximal box model and proximal box model with retention grooves. 4. With Gap option, Rodda's cavity form model showed the greatest amount of the stress on distal marginal ridge followed by proximal box model with retention grooves and simple proximal box model in descending order. 5. With Gap option, simple proximal box model showed greater amount of stress on the central groove with proximal box model with retention grooves. 6. Retention grooves in the proximal box played the role of supporting the restorations opposing to loads.

Restorative procedures can lead to tooth fracture due to the relatively small amount of the remaining tooth structure. It is essential to prevent fractures by having a clear concept of the designs for cavity preparations. Among the several parameters in cavity designs, profound understanding of isthmus width factor would facilitate selection of the appropriate cavity preparation for a specific clinical situation. In this study, MO amalgam cavity were prepared on maxillary first premolar and filled with amalgam. Three dimensional, model with 1365 8-node brick elements was made by serial photographic method. In this model, isthmus was varied in width at 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 2/3 of intercuspal width and material properties were given for three element groups, i.e., enamel, dentin and amalgam. A load of 500 N was applied vertically on amalgam and enamel. In case of enamel loading, 2 model (with and without amalgam) was compared to consider the possibility of play at the interface between tooth material and amalgam. These models were analyzed with three dimensional finite element method. The results were as follows: 1. The stress was concentrated on the facio-pulpal line angle and distal marginal ridge of the cavity. 2. With the increase of the isthmus width, the stress spread around the facio-pulpal line angle and the area of stress concentration moved toward the proximal box. 3. In case of narrow isthmus width, the initiation point of crack would be in the area of isthmus corner of the cavity, and with the increase of the isthmus width, it would move toward the proximal box and at the same time the possibility of crack increase at the distal marginal ridge. 4. The direction of crack progressed outward and downward from the facio-pulpal line angle, and with the increase of the isthmus width, it approximated vertical direction. At the marginal ridge, it occurred in vertical direction. 5. It would be favorable to make the isthmus width narrower than a third of the intercuspal width, and to cover the cusp if isthmus width were wider than half of the intercuspal width. 6. It is necessary to apply the possibility of play to the finite element analysis.

The dental insurance had been enforced in Korea past 20 years. The major part of the insurance was filling, and the filling was divided into two parts-the cavity preparation and cavity filling, The Cavity filling was estimated into 6 levels according to the cavity types. But the tooth cavity preparations was not evaluated by the cavity types but merely only one-the one visit filling or cavity preparation. Korean dentists tend to turn away from the amalgam to the non-insurance treatments. The purpose of this study was to relate the cavity preparations and cavity fillings to the cavity types. So I measured the real time and surveyed the relative difficulties of cavity preparations from the 31 dentists according to the cavity types, who had been trained in conservative dentistry. The conclusion of this study was below. 1. The estimations of tooth cavity preparation was divided same as the cavity filling. 2. There must be reasonable considerations about the times and difficulties in cavity preparation. 3. There was differences between the premolars and molars, upper jaw and lower one. 4. Two or more cavities in one tooth must be evaluated according to the number of cavities, not in one cavity.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microleakage of retrofilled teeth with various materials [non-zinc Amalgam, IRM, Ketac-silver, CGP(cold-burnished, ultrafil)[and instruments for cavity preparation. Root apex were resected 2mm from apex horizontally and class I cavities were prepared in 2mm denpth, 1.5mm width and were filled with above mentioned materials. Root apex were resected 2mm from apex horizontally and class I cavities were prepared in 2mm depth, 1. 5mm width and were filled with above mentioned materials. 2% methylene blue dye solution was used for 4 days immersion and the linear leakage was measured with calipers and the volumetric leakage was determined with a spectrophotometer. The results were as follows : 1. Amalgam group showed the greatest amount of leakage and Ketac-silver group showed the least value. 2. By linear leakage test, the group retrofilled with Ketac-silver, or CGP showed better seal than the group of Amalgam or IRM. This was shown in both retrograde tip and Conventional method. 3. By volumetric leakage test, the group retrofilled with Ketac-silver showed significantly better seal than the group with IRM in retrograde tip method. 4. By volumetric leakage test, the group retrofilled with Ketac-silver showed significantly better seal than the group with Amalgam in the Conventional method.

아말감은 널리 사용되어 온 대표적 치과재료이지만 치질과의 접착성이 없어 와동의 형태에 의해 유지되는 단점을 가진다. 아말감 수복물은 산화물에 의한 변연봉쇄가 일어나기 전까지 초기에 큰 미세누출을 보이며 수복초기에 이를 적절하게 예방하지 않으면 타액이나 미생물이 와동내에 침투하게 되고 이로 인해 수복 후의 과민반응, 충전물의 용해 및 파괴, 변연 변색과 2차 우식이 유발되어, 결과적으로 수복물의 수명이 단축되며 치수 병변이 발생될 수도 있다. 최근 기존 아말감 수복의 장점을 그대로 유지하면서 치질삭제를 줄이고 변연을 봉쇄하며 소와열구에 예방적 처치를 함께 할 수 있는 수복법이 제안되었는데 이를 이른바 sealed amalgam이라 한다. 이 술식은 예방적 확대 없이 병소만을 제거한 뒤 수복물 변연과 인접 소와열구에 치면열구전색재를 도포함으로서 소와열구의 예방적 충전은 물론 수복물 변연과 치질사이의 틈을 봉쇄하여 미세누출을 감소시킬 수 있다고 하였다. 이에 저자는 아말감 수복후 수복물의 마무리 처리와 전색재 적용시점을 달리 하여 sealed amalgam 수복과 기존의 아말감 수복과의 미세누출의 차이를 비교하고자 30개의 상, 하악 소구치를 준비하여 V급 와동을 소구치의 협, 설측에 형성하고 통상적 아말감 수복을 시행한 후 다음의 각 군으로 나누어 처리하였다. 제 1 군 : 24시간 후 연마 (대조군) 제 2 군 : 연마하지 않음, 즉시 전색재 적용 제 3 군 : 연마하지 않음, 열순환(thermocycling) 500회 후 전색재 적용 위의 처리 후 각 군을 $5^{\circ}C$와 $55^{\circ}C$의 온도변화를 30초씩 번갈아 주며 총 500회의 열순환을 실시한 후 1% methylene blue 용액에 침윤시켜서 100% 습도가 유지된 $37^{\circ}C$ 항온기에 24시간 보관하였다. 치아를 레진에 매몰한 후 협설측으로 치아 장축에 평행하게 절단하여 stereomicroscope를 사용해 색소침투도를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 평균 미세누출은 연마하지 않고 바로 치면열구전색재를 도포한 2군이 가장 낮았고, 연마만 시행한 1군이 가장 높았다. 2. 실험군간의 미세누출 비교에서 연마만 시행한 1군은 2군에 비해 미세누출이 켰으며 통계적으로 유의성 있는 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 3군은 1군보다 평균미세누출이 작았으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 2군은 3군보다 평균 미세누출이 작았으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05).

본 연구의 목적은 아말감과 복합레진의 수복 과정과 수복 후 상아세관액의 흐름(dentinal fluid flow, DFF)을 측정하기 위함이다. 치근을 절제한 제 3 대구치를 자체 제작한 미세 유체 흐름 측정장치에 연결한 후 1급 와동을 형성하여 아말감과 복합레진 수복을 시행하였다. DFF의 측정은 와동 형성부터 수복 후 30분까지 연속적으로 이루어졌고, 수복 후 3, 7일에 재 측정하였다. 주수 하에 와동 형성 시 DFF는 inward로, 끝난 후에는 outward로 바뀌었다. 아말감 충전 시 DFF는 inward로 바뀌었고 충전 완료 후 미약한 outward DFF를 보였다. 복합레진 수복의 경우, 산 처리 후 수세와 건조 시 각각 inward와 outward DFF를 보였고 primer도포 후 공기 분사는 급격한 outward, 소수성 본딩제를 적용하는 단계에서는 outward 였던 DFF가 감소하여 0에 가까워지거나 약간 inward 흐름을 보였다. 접착제와 복합레진의 광중합은 급격한 inward의 DFF를 일으켰다. 수복 후 30분, 3일, 7일째 수복 재료에 따른 DFF의 감소에 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다 (p>0.05).
