Objectives: To compare and evaluate the degree of abrasion of the denture base resin according to the type of denture cleansers. Methods: Denture base resin specimens were prepared and dried. The resin specimens were installed in the automatic brushing machine so that the toothbrush weighed 200 g. The brushing was performed 1,000 times each, a total of 10,000 times using (1) distilled water (DW), (2) non-abrasive cleanser (NAC), and (3) toothpaste (TP), respectively. Thirty specimens were allocated for each group. The thickness of abrasion by brushing was calculated by converting the weight of the specimen. Results: In all DW, NAC, and TP groups, significant differences were found in the average amount of abrasion of the resin specimen due to 1,000 to 10,000 brushings (p<0.001). The average abrasion amount of the resin specimen due to brushing 10,000 times was 2.31±1.20 ㎛ in DW group, 2.52±0.25 ㎛ in NAC group, 6.50±0.60 ㎛ in TP group, and the amount of abrasion in the TP group was statistically significant compared to other groups (p<0.001). Conclusions: The use of TP is not recommended as a method for maintaining the longevity of dentures and for oral health, and NAC was considered to be possible to be used as a denture cleanser because it had a similar amount of abrasion of that of DW.

Methods : The study subjects were 2,158 workers in 23 industrial work places located in Gumi-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do Province from June 1 to July 1, 2012. As a result, the following conclusions were obtained. Results : 1. The cervical abrasion rate was high in men and older age group. 2. The cervical abrasion rate was high in a case of having not received scaling for the past one year. 3. The cervical abrasion rate was high in frequent tooth brushing. 4. The cervical abrasion rate was high in group having no bleeding in tooth and the gum. 5. The cervical abrasion rate was high in group having the cold symptom in teeth. 6. Excluding gum pain and bleeding, factors affecting tooth abrasion were gender, age, scaling over the past year, frequency of brushing a day and tooth sensitivity when cold food was ingested. 7. Gender and tooth sensitivity turned out to have negative(-) effect. age, scaling over the past year and frequency of brushing a day turned out to have positive(+) effect. Conclusions : Through this study, the best prevention method of cervical abrason is effective tooth brushing education and regular dental check up.

Air abrasion technology can prepare enamel and dentin for bonding, similar to etching by acidic gels and solutions. Longer treatment can excavate pit and fissures, preparing the tooth for immediate placement of bonded resin materials. Although not appropriate for every clinical situation, the air abrasive technology minimizes heat, vibration and bone-conducted noise associated with conventional means of caries removal since the cutting is accomplished by air pressure. Also, patients treated with the air-abrasion technology rarely request anesthesia. Air abrasion technology was more effective in treating early carious lesions and stains compared to lesions where caries had already progressed to produce soft dentin and the strong air stream and noise caused by the evacuation system was a major discomfort to pediatric patients, and the experience and skillfulness of clinician should be required for accurate and proper tooth preparation.

I got a conclusion as a result of that in case of constructing a full denture using acrylic resin teeth, porcelain teeth, and forming posterior occlusal surface of the artificial teeth by Type III Gold and Nickel crome alloy thus construdting a full denture and therefore comparing the above case with abrasion of Natural teeth. The result were as follows : 1. The abrasion of Natural teeth and the abrasion of full denture constructed by Type III gold has a close resemblance. 2. The one that has the hightest degree of abrasion is full denture that's using, with acrylic resin teeth, maxillary and mandibular And the lowest abrasion is natural teeth-natural teeth. 3. In case of single denture, that's opposing to natural teeth, the one that has the hightest degree of abrasion is a full denture that's using Acrylic resin teeth and the lowest abrasion is a full denture that's forming occlusal surface by Type III gold. 4. The single denture, which is opposing to type III gold teeth, was abraded above everything by full denture which is constructed by porcelain teeth. 5. In the same teeth, the abrasion of mandibular teeth was greater than that of mandibular teeth was greater than that of maxillary teeth. 6. The abrasion degree of Acrylic resin teeth has no direct mutual connection with material hardness which is opposing to.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of surface treatment on the shear bond strength between new and old composite resin. The prepared resin specimens were separated 6 groups, and each group then received a different surface treatment. Then the repair material was added. Shear bond strengths for repair were measured after 7 days and the results were analyzed by using one way ANOVA. The results were as follows; 1. Group 3, 4(air abrasion) showed significantly higher shear bond strength than Group 1(phosphoric acid)(p<0.05). Group 5, 6(diamond bur) showed higher bond strength than Group 1(phosphoric acid) but not significantly different( p>0.05). 2. Group 2(self-etching adhesive) showed lower shear bond strength than Group 1(phosphoric acid) but not significantly different(p>0.05). 3. There was no statistically significant difference between Group 3(air abrasion) and Group 4(air abrasion+etching). 4. There was no statistically significant difference between Group 5(diamond bur) and Group 6(diamond bur+etching). In conclusion, the surface treatment with air abrasion resulted in higher repair bond strength than other methods. Repair bond strength was not significantly affected by acid etching.

To improve the oral health status of Korean people, it is necessary to encourage proper oral hygiene management habits, such as toothbrushing, through appropriate health promotion techniques. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the removal of plaque and tooth abrasion using ultra-soft (filament 0.11~0.12 mm) and soft toothbrushes for toothbrushing. The plaque removal was performed using a dentiform and Arti-spray, and the Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP) index was calculated as the sum total score divided by the total number of surfaces. In the abrasivity experiment, according to the number of brushings, a micro Vickers hardness tester was used, and a sample in the range of 280~380 Vickers hardness number was selected. The number of toothbrushing stroke were 1,800 (2 months), 5,400 (6 months), 10,800 (12 months), and 21,600 (24 months). The tooth abrasion was measured using a scanning electron microscope. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0 and a p-value <0.05 was considered significant. According to the results, there was no statistically significant difference in the degree of plaque removal between ultra-soft and soft toothbrushes. The difference in tooth abrasion between before and after toothbrushing was found to be greater with the soft toothbrushes than with the ultra-soft toothbrushes. Therefore, the ultra-soft toothbrush not only lowers tooth damage by reducing tooth abrasion, but also shows a similar ability to remove plaque as soft toothbrushes.
