PURPOSE. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the fracture strength and fracture patterns of provisional crowns fabricated from different materials and techniques after receiving stress from a simulated oral condition. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A monomethacrylate-based resin (Unifast Trad) and a bis-acryl-based (Protemp 4) resin were used to fabricate provisional crowns using conventional direct technique. A milled monomethacrylate resin (Brylic Solid) and a 3D-printed bis-acrylate resin (Freeprint Temp) were chosen to fabricate provisional crowns using the CAD/CAM process. All cemented provisional crowns (n=10/group) were subjected to thermal cycling (5,000 cycles at 5°-55℃) and cyclic occlusal load (100 N at 4 Hz for 100,000 cycles). Maximum force at fracture was tested using a universal testing machine. RESULTS. Maximum force at fracture (mean ± SD, N) of each group was 657.87 ± 82.84 for Unifast Trad, 1125.94 ± 168.07 for Protemp4, 953.60 ± 58.88 for Brylic Solid, and 1004.19 ± 122.18 for Freeprint Temp. One-way ANOVA with Tamhane post hoc test showed that the fracture strength of Unifast Trad was statistically significantly lower than others (P<.01). No statistically significant difference was noted among other groups. For failure pattern analysis, Unifast Trad and Brylic Solid showed less damage than Protemp 4 and Freeprint Temp groups. CONCLUSION. Provisional crowns fabricated using the CAD/CAM process and the conventionally fabricated bis-acryl resins exhibited significant higher fracture strength compared to conventionally fabricated monomethacrylate resins after the aging regimen. Therefore, CAD/CAM milling and 3D printing of provisional restorations may be good alternatives for long term provisionalization.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of different surface pretreatment techniques on the surface roughness and shear bond strength of a new self-adhering flowable composite resin for use with lithium disilicate-reinforced CAD/CAM ceramic material. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of one hundred thirty lithium disilicate CAD/CAM ceramic plates with dimensions of $6mm{\times}4mm$ and 3 mm thick were prepared. Specimens were then assigned into five groups (n=26) as follows: untreated control, coating with $30{\mu}m$ silica oxide particles ($Cojet^{TM}$ Sand), 9.6% hydrofluoric acid etching, Er:YAG laser irradiation, and grinding with a high-speed fine diamond bur. A self-adhering flowable composite resin (Vertise Flow) was applied onto the pre-treated ceramic plates using the Ultradent shear bond Teflon mold system. Surface roughness was measured by atomic force microscopy. Shear bond strength test were performed using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Surface roughness data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and the Tukey HSD tests. Shear bond strength test values were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests at ${\alpha}=.05$. RESULTS. Hydrofluoric acid etching and grinding with high-speed fine diamond bur produced significantly higher surface roughness than the other pretreatment groups (P<.05). Hydrofluoric acid etching and silica coating yielded the highest shear bond strength values (P<.001). CONCLUSION. Self-adhering flowable composite resin used as repair composite resin exhibited very low bond strength irrespective of the surface pretreatments used.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to ascertain the need to reform curriculums for digital experts in a way that include the practical and educational aspects of dental labs by determining why educational reforms are needed to comply with changes in dental technology business that are brought by the applications of digital scanning and what changes are being actually brought by the use of CAD/CAM. Methods: This study analyzed the need of education and practice in relation to CAD/CAM by using the independent sample t-test and One-way ANOVA. in accordance with the participants demographic characteristics and job-related variables and factors related to CAD/CAM, and provided only some of the analysis results that were found statistically significant. Concerning the need of education and practice in relation to CAD/CAM, the study also used the independent sample t-test to measure difference in the perception of that need within each of the three groups, or those of job performance, job efficiency and knowledge gain at the signficance level of ${\alpha}=.05$. Results: Dental technologists surveyed here were perceiving that the use of CAD/CAM would bring changes in their job performance, job efficiency and knowledge gain. They were expecting that the biggest changes would be made in work climate and product quality as sub-areas of job performance. However, they said that in terms of job efficiency, the use of CAD/CAM would change job contribution, job satisfaction and job efficiency, but not lead to staffing. These results suggest that more special programs for CAD/CAM education are needed to bring up CAD/CAM experts who are more specialized. Conclusion: Among 13 skills related to CAD/CAM, what is most needed to be educated to dental technologists was "molding the occlusal surface" (M=4.19), followed by "designing the 3-D work" (M=4.17), "final shape modification" (M=4.16), "molding the border" (M=4.15) and "checking the fit of prothesis" (M=4.14) in order.

PURPOSE. To integrate extra-oral facial scanning information with CAD/CAM complete dentures to immediately rehabilitate terminal dentition. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ten patients with terminal dentition scheduled for total extraction and immediate denture placement were recruited for this study. The patients were submitted to a facial scanning procedure using the in-office PritiMirror scanner with bite registration records in-situ. Definitive stone cast models and bite records were subsequently submitted to a lab scanning procedure using the lab scanner (iSeries DWOS; Dental Wings). The scanned models were used to create a virtual teeth setup of a complete denture. Using the intra-oral bite records as a reference, the virtual setup was incorporated in the facial scan thereby facilitating a virtual clinical evaluation (teeth try-in) phase. After applying necessary adjustments, the virtual setup was submitted to a CAM procedure where a 5-axis industrial milling machine (M7 CNC; Darton AG General) was used to fabricate a full-milled PMMA immediate provisional prosthesis. RESULTS. Total extractions were performed, the dentures were immediately inserted, and subjective clinical fit was evaluated. The immediate provisional prostheses were inserted and clinical fit, occlusion/articulation, and esthetics were subjectively assessed; the results were deemed satisfactory. All provisional prostheses remained three months in function with no notable technical complications. CONCLUSION. Ten patients with terminal dentition were treated using a complete digital approach to fabricate complete dentures using CAD/CAM technology. The proposed technique has the potential to accelerate the rehabilitation procedure starting from immediate denture to final implant-supported prosthesis leading to more predictable functional and aesthetics outcomes.

임플란트를 사용한 수복치료에서는 보철물을 위한 이상적인 위치에 임플란트가 식립되어야 한다. 치조골이 부족한 환자의 경우에는 최종 보철물을 위한 적절한 연조직 및 경조직 지지를 얻기 위해서 수술적인 처치를 포함한 구강내 처치를 필요로 하게 된다. CAD-CAM 기술을 활용한 보철물 설계는 위와 같은 수술적 처치의 필요성에 대해 임상가가 사전적으로 평가해볼 수 있는 청사진을 제시해준다. 본 증례에서는 CAD-CAM system을 통해 환자의 치료 전 구내상황, 수술적 처치에 대한 예상, 일련의 임시 보철물을 반영하여 최종 보철물을 계획하고 제작하였다. 최종 보철물을 반영하여 제작한 수술용 가이드를 사용하여 임플란트를 식립함과 동시에 치조골 증대술을 시행하였다. 이후 CAD-CAM을 활용하여, 맞춤형 지대주와 1차 및 2차 잠정 수복물을 디자인하고 제작하였으며, 환자의 구내에서 평가를 거친 2차 잠정 보철물과 동일한 형태의 최종 보철물을 제작하였다. 저작, 발음, 심미 기능에 있어서 환자와 술자 모두 만족할만한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

연구 목적: 본 연구에서는 기성 지대주와 맞춤형CAD-CAM 지대주의 적합성 및 나사 사이의 안정성 대해 알아보고자 한다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 오스템 임플란트 시스템을 이용하였다. 동일회사에서 제작된 기성 지대주(Transfer abutment, Osstem Implant Co. Ltd, Busan, Korea) 및 맞춤형CAD-CAM 지대주(CustomFit abutment, Osstem Implant Co. Ltd, Busan, Korea)와 국내 외주 제작된 맞춤형CAD-CAM 지대주(Myplant, Raphabio Co., Seoul, Korea)를 5개씩 선택, 제작하였으며 나사는 각 회사에서 제공되는 것을 사용하였다. 제조사의 지시에 따라 고정체와 지대주를 30 Ncm으로 조인 후 초기 풀림 토크를 3회 반복 측정한 후 통계 분석하였다(${\alpha}=.05$). 고정체-지대주 연결체를 에폭시 레진에 매몰 후 습식 절삭 및 연마하여 계면 사이의 적합성을 FE-SEM으로 관찰하였다. 결과: 지대주의 초기 풀림 토크 값은 각각 기성 지대주(Transfer abutment)에서 $26.0{\pm}0.30Ncm$, 동일 회사에서 제작된 맞춤형CAD-CAM 지대주(CustomFit abutment)에서 $26.3{\pm}0.32Ncm$, 외주로 제작된 맞춤형CAD-CAM 지대주(Myplant abutment)에서 $24.7{\pm}0.67Ncm$였다. 국내 외주 제작된 맞춤형CAD-CAM 지대주에서 유의적으로 낮은 초기 풀림 토크 값을 보였으며(P=.027), 고정체-지대주 계면에서 변연 간극이 관찰되었다. 결론: 본 실험의 한계 내에서 국내 외주 제작된 맞춤형CAD-CAM 지대주는 동일 회사에서 제작된 기성 지대주나 맞춤형CAD-CAM 지대주에 비해 더 낮은 나사 안정성 및 적합성을 보인다고 볼 수 있다.

Background: This study aimed to compare and evaluate the marginal fit of nanocomposite computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) inlays. Three types of nanocomposite CAD/CAM blocks (HASEM, VITA Enamic, and Lava Ultimate) were used as materials. Methods: Class II disto-occlusal inlay restorations were prepared on a typodont mandibular right first molar using diamond rotary instruments. The inlays were fabricated using CAD/CAM technology and evaluated using the silicone replica technique to measure marginal gaps at five locations on each inlay. The data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance and Tukey post hoc tests (α=0.05). Results: There were no significant differences in the marginal gaps based on the type of nanocomposite CAD/CAM inlay used (p=0.209). However, there was a significant difference in the marginal gaps between the measurement regions. The gingival region consistently exhibited a larger marginal gap than the axial and occlusal regions (p<0.001). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this in vitro study, the measurement location significantly influenced the marginal fit of class II disto-occlusal inlay restorations. However, there were no significant differences in the marginal gaps among the different types of CAD/CAM blocks. Furthermore, the overall mean marginal fits of the class II disto-occlusal inlay restorations made with the three types of nanocomposite CAD/CAM blocks were within the clinically acceptable range.
