Objectives: The purpose of the study is to investigate the awareness and practice of dental unit waterline management in dental hygienist. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 377 dental hygienists in Seoul and Gyeonggido from March 2 to April 30, 2015. The data were collected by direct visit and informed consent was received after explanation of the study. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of the subjects, awareness of dental waterline, practice of dental waterline, and implementation of dental waterline disinfection. Data were analyzed using SPSS 12.0 program. Results: There was a significant correlation between the dental unit waterline disinfection and the appropriateness of the water used for dental treatment(p<0.01, p<0.001). The handpiece was the most commonly used device before treatment and the majority of the subjects answered that they didn't take water out of ultrasonic scaler and air-water syringe on a daily basis. Conclusions: The majority of the dental hygienists did not know the right understanding and proper practice of dental unit waterline management. To reduce the dental device contamination, the continuing education of waterline management should be done for the dental hygienists.

종격동기종은 치과 영역에서 매우 드물고 잠재적으로 위험한 합병증이다. 이의 흔한 원인으로는 핸드피스와 고압 공기/물 주사기를 사용하는 발치, 근관치료, 잇몸 밑 치은연하 소파술 등이 있다. 본 증례는 임플란트 식립을 위한 전 치료로 주사기를 이용하여 상악동에 골이식을 시행받은 61세 여자에게서 발생한 대량의 종격동기종과 피하기종의 증례이다. 환자는 치료 도중 갑작스럽게 발생한 구강 통증과 함께 의식 소실이 발생하였고, 응급실로 전원 되었다. 영상학적 검사상 종격동기종과 함께 얼굴과 목부위 전체에 피하기종이 발견되었다. 예방적 항생제, 산소 흡입, 금식 등의 보존적 치료가 이루어졌고, 합병증 없이 7일 만에 퇴원하였다. 환자의 실신은 시술 중 상악동 천공 후 과량의 공기유입으로 인해 발생한 종격동기종에 의해 순간적인 강한 흉부 압박으로 혈압 감소와 통증 쇽에 의한 것으로 생각된다. 치과 치료 중 환자가 의식을 잃었다면 기도 폐쇄의 위험성이 있기 때문에 종격동기종을 즉각적으로 감별하고 치료해야 한다.

The risk of cross-contamination in dental clinic is very high. Those who are engaged in dental clinic are exposed to various microorganisms in saliva and blood of patient. Potential possibility of cross-contamination of patient to patient, patient to dentist, dentist to laboratory technician always exist, which is important in the view of public health. It is well known that microorganisms may cause cross-contamination by suck-back of microorganisms into the water supply line or air supply line of dental unit and sprayed back into the next patient's oral cavity. The majority of microorganisms coming from dental unit are water microorganisms from the main water supply which have colonized the tube within the units and multiplied in the relatively warm and stagnant conditions. The purpose of this study is to measure the extent of microbial contamination of dental unit and ultrasonic scaler, to evaluate that dental unit water supply is suitable for drinking water, and to assess the effect of flushing on reduction of microbial contamination of dental unit and ultrasonic scaler. In the first experiment, water samples(50ml) from 20 dental units and 10 ultrasonic scalers in Seoul National Univ. Hosp. were tested for the presence of coliform. The samples were filtered by membrane filtration technique.(Microfil system, Millipore Co. U. S. A.) The filter was then placed onto MacConkey agar plate and the plates with filter on it were incubated aerobically at $37^{\circ}C$ for 5 days. The colors and shapes of colonies were examined if those were coliform. To verify the presence of coliform, the colonies were inoculated into phenol red lactose broth and incubated aerobically at $37^{\circ}C$ for 2 days. The fomation of gas was observed. In the second experiment, water samples from 20 handpieces, 10 ultrasonic scalers and 30 A/W syringes after 0, 2, 4, 6 min. flushing respectively were taken. $200{\mu}l$ water samples were spreaded on Brain Heart Infusion agar plate and the plates were incubated aerobically at $37^{\circ}C$ for 5 days. The number of colony was counted. The results obtained were summarized as follows 1. The water from dental unit and ultrasonic scaler was not suitable for drinking water. 2. No coliform was founded in dental unit and ultrasonic scaler water supply. 3. The number of colony of dental unit and ultrasonic scaler was highest in the group of o min. flushing(p<0.05). 4. There was no statistically significant difference in the extent of microbial contamination among handpiece, ultrasonic scaler and A/W syringe (p>0.05). 5. The number of colony was lowest in the group of 4 min. flushing, but there was no statistically significant difference among 2, 4, 6 min. flushing groups.(p>0.05) 6. It is recommended to flush dental unit water line for 4 min. after use on each patient.

Purpose : The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of two commercially available desensitizing agents over 3 weeks on patients with dentin hypersensitivity. Materials and Methods : An oxalate-based solution, Sensblok (NIBEC Inc. Seoul, Korea) & Superseal (Pheonix Inc. Michigan, USA), and a distilled water placebo were compared in a clinical setting. Seven volunteers exhibiting three or more teeth that were sensitive to tactile & air were enrolled in the study (35 teeth total). A visual analog scale (VAS) was used for recording each patient s level of sensitivity to tactile & air stimuli. A Florida probe was rubbed across the exposed dentin three times with a constant pressure 20 grams to measure the tactile stimulus. The air stimulus was generated by dental unit air syringe for 1-second blast from 1/2 inch distance. The desensitizing agents were applied according manufacture s guideline. VAS scores were recorded at baseline, 1 minute after treatment, at 1 week, 2weeks, 3weeks. VAS score were analyzed using a repeated measures ANOVA ( =0.05). Results : The Sensblok, Superseal, and distilled water placebo all decreased dentin sensitivity. A statistically significant difference existed between Sensblok and placebo when tactile stimulus was applied (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found among other desensitizing agents and tactile and air stimuli.

The effect of moistening and air-drying of acid-conditioned dentin before priming on the formation of resin-dentin hybrid zone was investigated, Freshly extracted human molars were used and divided at random into 5 groups, Groups 1 - 3 consisted of specimens conditioned with 10 % phosphoric acid for 20 seconds; Group 1 served as a control in which the conditioned dentin was simply blot-dried with a damp facial tissue; Group 2 was air dried for 30 seconds ; Group 3 was air dried for 30 seconds and immediately remoistened for 10 seconds with air-water syringe. and then the specimen was blot-dried with a damp facial tissue. Groups 4-5 were not acid conditioned ; In group 4, the smear layer on the dentin was blot dried before primer placement; Group 5 was air dried only for 30 seconds, The acetone-based primer and bonding agent of All Bond 2 (Bisco. Inc., USA) and composite resin (Z-100, 3M Dental products, USA) were applied for acid conditioned dentin and non-conditioned dentin. The morphologic ultrastructure of resin-dentin hybrid zone was examined by the use of SEM and TEM. and the existence of inorganic material and analysis of Ca/P weight-percent ratio in the resin-dentin hybrid zone were revealed by the EDAX, The results were as follows : 1. In the moistened specimens from acid-conditioned groups, the resin penetrated about 3-$4{\mu}m$ into dentin and the denatured collagen smear layer was not present at the surface. The resin tag was formed to a thickeness of 3-$4{\mu}m$ at the upper part of dentinal tubule and compactively connected to each other by means of many lateral branching. 2. In the air-dried specimens from acid-conditioned groups, the resin penetrated about 2.0-$2.5\;{\mu}m$ into dentin and an upper thin black layer to a thickness of 30-35nm was identified between adhesive resin and demineralized collagen layer. The resin tag to have a diameter of $2.5{\mu}m$ was formed at the upper part of dentinal tubule. However the funnel shape of the tag was not notable compared to the moistened specimens. 3. In the remoistened specimens from acid conditioned groups, the resin penetrated about 2.0-$2.5{\mu}m$ into dentin and an upper black layer was not present. The resin tag at the upper part of dentinal tubule was formed less than $2{\mu}m$ and was weakly connected to each other by means of few lateral branching. 4. In the non-conditioned groups, the smear layer was formed to a thickness of $0.5{\mu}m$ at dentin surface. However, the resin-dentin hybrid zone was not identified by TEM. The evidence of resin penetration into intertubular and intratubular dentin did not show. 5. All the acid-conditioned groups showed that the detected calcium and phosphorus weight percent ratios at the $2{\mu}m$ upper portion from the resin-dentin interface into the resin were much higher than that at the $2{\mu}m$ lower portion from the resin-dentin interface to dentin. (P<0.01).

본 연구는 양이온 계면활성효과를 가져 소독제로 사용되고 있는 benzalkonium chloride 수용액을 상아질 표면에 대한 습윤용 처리제로 적용시킬 경우 상아질접착제의 접착성능에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위해 시행되었다. 소의 하악전치 80개를 8개군으로 분류하여 순면의 상아질을 노출시켜서 산처리한 후 물로 습윤 상태를 유지시킨 대조군과 0.1%, 0.5% 및 1% 농도의 benzalkonium chloride 수용액으로 습윤시킨 실험군으로 나누어 NTG-GMA/BPDM계 상아질접착제인 All-bond 2와 DSDM 계 상아질접착제인 Aelitebond를 각각 접착시킨 후 접착시험을 시행하였다. 상아질 표면을 10% 인산수용액으로 처리한 후 습윤과정을 거친 시편을 각 접착시스템의 primer와 bonding resin을 도포하고 Aelitefil 복합레진으로 접 착시 킨후 항온조에서 24시간 방치한 뒤 인장접착강도를 측정하고, 상아질표면 및 파단면의 양상을 주사전자 현미경으로 관찰하였으며 FT-IR을 사용하여 전처리 전후의 상아질 표면을 분석하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1. NTG-GMA/BPDM 계 상아질접착제 (All-bond 2)로 접착시킨 경우 물로 습윤시킨 대조군에 비해 0.1 % benzalkonium chloride 수용액으로 습윤시킨 군에서 유의하게 높은 인장접착강도를 보였으나(p<0.05), 0.5% 및 1.0 % benzalkonium chloride 수용액으로 습윤시킨 군에서는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 2. DSDM계 상아질접착제 (Aelitebond) 로 접착시킨 경우 물로 습윤시킨 대조군과 0.1 %, 0.5% 및 1.0 % benzalkonium chloride 수용액으로 습융시킨 군 간의 인장접착강도의 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 3. Benzalkonium chloride 수용액의 적용과 관계 없이 전체적으로 NTG-GMA/ BPDM계 상아질접착제로 접착시킨 경우가 DSDM계 상아질접착제로 접착시킨 경우보다 인장접착강도가 높았으며, 파단양상의 관찰결과에서도 NTG-GMA /BPDM계 상아질접착제를 사용한 경우는 응집성 및 혼합성 파단양상이, DSDM 계 상아질접착제를 사용한 경우는 부착성 파단양상이 우세하였다. 4. 주사전자 현미경적 관찰상에서 benzalkonium chloride 수용액 적용 유무에 따른 각 상아질 표면의 primer 도포양상의 뚜렷한 차이는 관찰되지 않았으나, 상아질 표면에 대한 benzalkonium chloride 수용액 적용 전후의 FT-IR 분석결과 에서는 0.1 % benzalkonium chloride 수용액으로 습윤 처리 시킨 군이 대조군에 비해 NTG-GMA/ BPDM 및 DSDM primer의 도포효과를 다소 향상시킨 소견이었다.
