Purpose: Currently advanced in Dental CAD/CAM technology increase a use of Co-Cr sinter metal block at Dental CAD/CAM part traditionally it has been being used with metal casting method. There is an advantage that can leave out a step of investment and casting as well as reducing a working time to compare with conventional casting method in a dry milling. Methods: In this research, compare a deformation of before and after sinter result of Co-Cr sinter metal block. Design a specimen figure by 3D CAD software and transformed it to a STL file can be used at Dental CAD/CAM. With a transformed STL file, milled a Co-Cr sinter metal specimen by using a Dental CAD/CAM dry milling machine. It arrived at the following conclusions after measuring an outer form and thickness of a machined specimen and then after sinter measure it again in a way of before sinter measurement method. Results: It is confirmed that there is no error while a 3D design figure specimen is transformed to a Dental CAD data. It is observed that there is no error at Co-Cr sinter metal specimen which consider a length of single coping and bridge. Conclusion: It is observed that there is no deformation at a specimen of AS05 and AB05 are made of 0,5mm thickness. On the other hand, the out of range of deformation is observed at a specimen of AS10 and AB10 which are made of 1mm thickness.

Accurate acquisition of surface geometries such as machined surfaces, biological surfaces, and deformed parts have been very important technique in scientific study and engineering, especially for system design, manufacturing and inspection. Two-camera method keeps accuracy more than double than mechanical method. In this paper, a new method is studied to acquire 3D geometric data of the small object such as a die in stone model. When the devices, cameras, laser beam and object are in a perfect plane, the calculation is measured by position error 0.025[mm] within. But this paper shows that arbitrarily positioned system can also be used to obtain 3D data. Also, this paper present a method to generate coping surface data with which CAM system can do for milling work.

Since its introduction to the dentistry, the CAD/CAM technology has been used over fifteen years. The application of CAD/CAM started from coping fabrication, expanded to the posterior full crown, and anterior restoration manufacture has also become widespread recently. While the development of machine was rapid, the advance of zirconia block was the fastest. Although some differences exist among individuals, the various natural tooth color can be expressed through the zirconia coloring itself without porcelain build up. And the texture characteristics can be reproduced just by CAD design. In this article, the development history of digital dentistry was summarized.

PURPOSE. The purposes of this study are to evaluate the internal and marginal adaptation of two widely used CAD/CAM systems and to study the effect of porcelain press veneering process on the prosthesis adaptation. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Molar of a lower jaw typodont resin model was prepared by adjusting a 1.0 mm circumferential chamfer, an occlusal reduction of 2.0 mm, and a $5^{\circ}$ convergence angle and was duplicated as an abrasion-resistant master die. The monolithic crowns and copings were fabricated with two different CAD/CAM system-Ceramil and Zirkonzahn systems. Two kinds of non-destructive analysis methods are used in this study. First, weight technique was used to determine the overall fitting accuracy. And, to evaluate internal and marginal fit of specific part, replica technique procedures were performed. RESULTS. The silicone weight for the cement space of monolithic crowns and copings manufactured with Ceramil system was significantly higher than that from Zirkonzahn system. This gap might cause the differences in the silicone weight because the prostheses were manufactured according to the recommendation of each system. Marginal discrepancies of copings made with Ceramil system were between 106 and $117{\mu}m$ and those from Zirkonzahn system were between 111 and $115{\mu}m$. Marginal discrepancies of copings made with Ceramil system were between 101 and $131{\mu}m$ and those from Zirkonzahn system were between 116 and $131{\mu}m$. CONCLUSION. Marginal discrepancy was relatively lower in Ceramil system and internal gap was smaller in Zirkonzahn system. There were significant differences in the internal gap of monolithic crown and coping among the 2 CAD/CAM systems. Marginal discrepancy produced from the 2 CAD/CAM systems were within a reported clinically acceptable range of marginal discrepancy.

Background: In this study, zirconia copings were fabricated by setting clinically acceptable inner values for prostheses using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM). The processed copings were evaluated for the marginal and internal fit of each abutment shape with a CAD program using the silicone replica technique. Methods A total of 20 copings was produced by selecting models commonly used in clinical practice. After injecting the sample, the minimum thickness, internal adhesion interval, and distance to the margin line were set to 0.5, 0.05, and 1.00 mm using a dental CAD program, respectively. It was measured using a 2D section function in a three-way program of the silicon replication technology. Although the positions and number of measurements of the anterior and posterior regions differed, nine parts of each pre-tube were designated and measured by referring to a previous study to compare the two samples. Results As a result, the average margin of the mesial, distal, and buccal (labial) surfaces was 59.90 ㎛ in the anterior region and 60.40 ㎛ in the posterior region. The mean axial wall margin was 67.25 ㎛ in the anterior region and 69.25 ㎛ in the posterior region. In occlusion, the anterior teeth (77.70 ㎛), posterior teeth (77.60 ㎛), and both anterior and posterior regions were within the clinically acceptable range. Conclusion The edge and inner fit of zirconia coping manufactured using the CAD/CAM system showed clinically applicable results. To reduce errors and increase accuracy, materials and machine errors that affect the manufacture of prosthetics should be investigated. Based on our results, the completeness of prosthetics could increase if the inner value and characteristics of the material are adjusted when applied in clinical practice.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the marginal and internal fit of coping made by CAD/CAM using different scanning methods. Zirconia coping was made by each CAD/CAM system followed by intra-oral scanning, model optical scanning and model contact scanning. It was embedded into Epoxy Resin and was cut by buccal to lingual. AMD (Absolute marginal discrepancy), MG (Marginal gap), GA (Gap of axial), GL (Gap of line angle) and GO (Gap of occlusal) of each sample were measured. The result is as followed; 1. The mean value of AMD in Group 1, Group 2, Group 3 are $141.21{\pm}42.94{\mu}m$, $140.63{\pm}31.64{\mu}m$, $109.37{\pm}28.42{\mu}m$. The averages of MG in Group 1, Group 2, Group 3 are $82.52{\pm}43.99{\mu}m$, $90.28{\pm}27.93{\mu}m$, $66.55{\pm}28.77{\mu}m$. Statistically there is no difference in AMD and MG among the three Groups (Anova, P>0.05). 2. GA of Group 2 revealed statistically difference compared with Group 1 and Group 3 (Anova, P<0.05). 3. GL and GO of Group 1 showed statistically significant differences compared with Group 2 and Group 3 (Mann-whitney test (P<0.05). Zirconia copings made by 3 ways of scanning methods have no difference with conventional ceramics in AMD and MG which are known as the most important factors.

Purpose: Marginal fit is one of the important components for the successful prosthodontic restoration. Poor fitting margin of the restoration causes hypersensitivity, secondary caries, and plaque accumulation, which later result in prosthodontic failure. CAD/CAM zirconia all-ceramic restorations, such as $LAVA^{(R)}$ (3M ESPE, St.Paul, MN) and $EVEREST^{(R)}$ (KaVo Dental GmbH, Biberach, Germany) systems were recently introduced in Korea. It is clinically meaningful to evaluate the changes of the marginal fit of the CAD/CAM zirconia systems before and after build-up. The purposes of this study are to compare the marginal fit of the two CAD/CAM all-ceramic systems with that of the ceramometal restoration, before and after porcelain build-up Material and methods: A maxillary first premolar dentiform tooth was prepared with 2.0 mm occlusal reduction, 1.0 mm axial reduction, chamfer margin, and 6 degree taperness in the axial wall. The prepared dentiform die was duplicated into the metal abutment die. The metal die was placed in the dental study model, and the full arch impressions of the model were made. Twenty four copings of 3 groups which were $LAVA^{(R)}$, $EVEREST^{(R)}$, and ceramometal restorations were fabricated. Each coping was cemented on the metal die with color-mixed Fit-checker $II^{(R)}$ (GC Cor., Tokyo, Japan). The marginal opening of each coping was measured with $Microhiscope^{(R)}$ system (HIROX KH-1000 ING-Plus, Seoul, Korea. X300 magnification). After porcelain build-up, the marginal openings of $LAVA^{(R)}$, $EVEREST^{(R)}$,and ceramometal restorations were also evaluated in the same method. Statistical analysis was done with paired t-test and one-way ANOVA test. Results: In coping states, the mean marginal opening for $EVEREST^{(R)}$ restorations was $52.00{\pm}11.94\;{\mu}m$ for $LAVA^{(R)}$ restorations $56.97{\pm}10.00\;{\mu}m$, and for ceramometal restorations $97.38{\pm}18.54\;{\mu}m$. After porcelain build-up, the mean marginal opening for $EVEREST^{(R)}$ restorations was $61.69{\pm}19.33\;{\mu}m$, for $LAVA^{(R)}$ restorations $70.81{\pm}12.99\;{\mu}m$, and for ceramometal restorations $1115.25{\pm}23.86\;{\mu}m$. Conclusion: 1. $LAVA^{(R)}$ and $EVEREST^{(R)}$ restorations in comparison with ceramometal restorations showed better marginal fit, which had significant differences (P < 0.05) in coping state and also after porcelain build-up . 2. The mean marginal opening values between $LAVA^{(R)}$ and $EVEREST^{(R)}$ restorations did not showed significant differences after porcelain build-up as well as in coping state (P > .05). 3. $EVEREST^{(R)}$, $LAVA^{(R)}$ and ceramometal restorations showed a little increased marginal opening after porcelain build-up, but did not show any statistical significance (P > .05).

An Infotainment Service intended to enhance the human emotion is introduced in this paper. The service is to be installed on the robot helping elderly persons to live comfortable and enjoyable life. The research started with defining the undesirable status of emotion in everyday life, and the psychological skills to cope with the status were sought about. Then, a methodology for providing emotion contents reflecting the coping skill has been suggested. Based on the Cognitive Behavior Therapy, the coping skill is used to edit animation clips. A movie recommendation system to utilize the edited animation clips has been being developed. A series of process for developing the system is described, where the emotion elements are taken into consideration in addition to the user preference as the criterion for recommendation.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the marginal and internal gap of zirconia copings fabricated by CAD/CAM system and to research the effect of cement space on the fit of zirconia prosthesis. Methods: Zirconia copings were designed using 3shape software and then milled from presintered zirconia blocks by Kavo dental milling machine. The cement space was set at $0{\mu}m$ around the margins for all groups, and additional cement space appling 1 mm above the finish lines of tooth. The samples were classified into 4 groups according to the cement space setting(Cs-0, Cs-40, Cs-80, Cs-120). Replica technique used to investigate marginal and internal gap. The silicone film thickness was recorded using a optical microscope with image software analysis system at 75${\times}$magnification. The assessment performed on the six points in bucco-lingual and mesio-distal sections(4 groups, 10 copings per group, 12 measuring points per coping). The data were statistically analyzed with one-way ANOVA followed by pair-wise Tukey's post hoc tests(${\alpha}$<0.05). Results: Better marginal and internal fit values were exhibited by $80{\mu}m$ cement space. The results showed that different cement space values had statistically significant effect on the marginal and internal gap of zirconia copings(p<0.001). The gap of margin and axial wall area was smaller than that the gap of occlusal area in all groups(p<0.001). Conclusion : Effect of different cement spaces on the marginal and internal gap of zirconia copings.

Statement of problem: Use of all-ceramic prostheses fabricated with CAD/CAM systems is increasing in the dentistry. Marginal fidelity in production of all-ceramic restoration has important clinical implications and is a key consideration issue in CAD/CAM production as well. Purpose: The objective of this study was to analyse marginal fidelities of $Procera^{(R)}$ Allceram Crown. Material and methods: On 56 patients treated with $Procera^{(R)}$ system Allceram Crown at Dankook Dental Hospital, marginal discrepancies of 101 abutments were measured by stereomicroscope at coping and final restoration stages. Paired t-test and one-way analysis of variance on marginal discrepancy data were conducted to determine the presence of significant differences between measurement and measuring point stages. Results: Marginal discrepancies of final restoration ($45.82{\pm}30.84\;{\mu}m$) were lower than alumina coping ($53.84{\pm}38.83\;{\mu}m$). Furthermore, the differences were found to be statistically significant at 95% confidence level. Anterior marginal discrepancies were lower than posterior marginal discrepancies, but they were not statistically significant. Lingual marginal discrepancies were higher than other measurement sites, and the differences were found to be statistically significant at 95% confidence level. Conclusion: Within the conditions of this study, marginal fidelities of $Procera^{(R)}$ Allceram Crown were acceptable, and after porcelain build-up, marginal fitness improved over alumina coping. More careful scanning is needed for better results.
