Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the fitness of anterior and posterior interim crowns fabricated by three different additive manufacturing technologies. Methods: The working model was digitized, and single crowns (maxillary right central incisor and maxillary right first molar) were designed using computer-aided design software (DentalCad 2.2; exocad). On each abutment, interim crowns (n=60) were fabricated using three types of additive manufacturing technologies. Then, the abutment appearance and internal scan data of the interim crown was obtained using an intraoral scanner. The fitness of the interim crowns were evaluated by using the superimposition of the three-dimensional scan data (Geomagic Control X; 3D Systems). The one-way analysis of variance and Tukey posterior test were used to compare the results among groups (α=0.05). Results: A significant difference was found in the fitness of the interim crowns according to the type of additive manufacturing technology (p<0.05). The posterior interim crown showed smaller root mean square value than the anterior interim crown. Conclusion: Since the fitness of the posterior interim crown produced by three types of additive manufacturing technology were all within clinically acceptable range (<120 ㎛), it can be sufficiently used for the fabrication of interim crowns.

영구 전치의 복합 치관-치근 파절은 심미적, 기능적 문제 뿐 아니라 심리적 문제도 발생시킨다. 그러므로 파절에 대한 치료는 매우 중요하며, 여러 분야에 걸친 종합적 치료가 요구된다. 본 증례는 두 환자에서의 외상으로 인한 상악 전치의 복합 치관-치근 파절에 대한 임상적 치료 과정을 서술하였다. 근관치료와 근첨형성술이 각 환자에게 시행되었으며, 파절선을 치은 상방으로 노출시키고 생물학적 폭경을 재확립하기 위해 교정적 정출을 시행하였다. 이후 유지기간을 두었고, 그 기간 동안 치아에 임시수복을 시행하였다. 최종적으로 CAD/CAM을 이용한 세라믹 크라운 수복을 시행하였다. 이후 정기 검진 때에도 해당 치아들은 만족스러운 기능적, 심미적 결과를 보였으며, 두 환자 모두에서 재발은 나타나지 않았다. 치주조직 또한 건강한 상태를 보였다.

본 연구는 최신 경향의 구강 내 스캐너로 채득된 3차원 디지털 인상의 정확도와 신뢰도를 평가하기 위해 4가지 계측 지점을 통하여 분석하였다. 주 모형과 비교하였을 때, 디지털 인상이 작게 계측되는 경향을 나타내었고, 각 계측지점별로 0.06~0.12 mm 범위의 차이를 보였다. 선행연구의 결과에 의해 임상적으로 오차범위를 허용할 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 환자의 진단이나 치아 교정치료 계획 수립 시 사용되는 모형에는 큰 영향이 없음을 확인할 수 있었다. 실험에서는 구강 내 상황이나 해부학적 구조를 무시하고 진행하였지만, 실제 임상에서 사용 시에는 구강 내 협소한 공간, 타액 등으로 인한 치아면의 난반사 증가, 혀 등의 해부학적 구조물로 인한 작업 방해 등의 여러 가지 요인이 인상과정에 영향을 줄 수 있을 것이라 판단된다. 추후 실험에서는 가능한 구강 내 상황을 재현한 상태에서 실험을 진행하면 좀 더 임상 적용에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

PURPOSE. To evaluate the reproducibility of scan-based abutments using a blue light model scanner. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A wax cast abutment die was fabricated, and a silicone impression was prepared using a silicone material. Nine study dies were constructed using the prepared duplicable silicone, and the first was used as a reference. These dies were classified into three groups and scanned using a blue light model scanner. The first three-dimensional (3D) data set was obtained by scanning eight dies separately in the first group. The second 3D data set was acquired when four dies were placed together in the scanner and scanned twice in the second group. Finally, the third 3D data set was obtained when eight dies were placed together in the scanner and scanned once. These data were then used to define the data value using third-dimension software. All the data were then analyzed using the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis H test (${\alpha}=.05$) and the post-hoc Mann-Whitney U-test with Bonferroni's correction (${\alpha}=.017$). RESULTS. The means and standard deviations of the eight dies together were larger than those of the four dies together and of the individual die. Moreover, significant differences were observed among the three groups (P<.05). CONCLUSION. With larger numbers of abutments scanned together, the scan becomes more inaccurate and loses reproducibility. Therefore, scans of smaller numbers of abutments are recommended to ensure better results.

상악 전치부 임플란트의 성공적인 수복을 위해서는 pink esthetics와 white esthetics가 모두 충족되어야 한다. Pink esthetics 부분의 경우 적절한 임시보철물의 역할이 중요하고, white esthetics 부분의 경우에는 최종 보철물의 색상과 형태가 중요하다. 다층 지르코니아는 기존의 단일구조 지르코니아에 비해 절단 부위의 투명도가 높기 때문에 추가적인 도재 축성 없이 자연스러운 보철물 제작이 가능하다. 따라서 본 증례에서는 상악 전치를 상실한 환자에서 적절한 임시보철물을 통해 기능과 심미성을 충분히 회복한 후 다층 지르코니아를 통해 white esthetics를 달성하였다.

PURPOSE. To determine the shear bond strengths of different denture base resins to different types of prefabricated teeth (acrylic, nanohybrid composite, and cross-linked) and denture teeth produced by computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Prefabricated teeth and CAD/CAM (milled) denture teeth were divided into 10 groups and bonded to different denture base materials. Groups 1-3 comprised of different types of prefabricated teeth and cold-polymerized denture base resin; groups 4-6 comprised of different types of prefabricated teeth and heat-polymerized denture base resin; groups 7-9 comprised of different types of prefabricated teeth and CAD/CAM (milled) denture base resin; and group 10 comprised of milled denture teeth produced by CAD/CAM technology and CAD/CAM (milled) denture base resin. A universal testing machine was used to evaluate the shear bond strength for all specimens. One-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc test were used for analyzing the data (α=.05). RESULTS. The shear bond strengths of different groups ranged from 3.37 ± 2.14 MPa to 18.10 ± 2.68 MPa. Statistical analysis showed significant differences among the tested groups (P<.0001). Among different polymerization methods, the lowest values were determined in cold-polymerized resin.There was no significant difference between the shear bond strength values of heat-polymerized and CAD/CAM (milled) denture base resins. CONCLUSION. Different combinations of materials for removable denture base and denture teeth can affect their bond strength. Cold-polymerized resin should be avoided for attaching prefabricated teeth to a denture base. CAD/CAM (milled) and heat-polymerized denture base resins bonded to different types of prefabricated teeth show similar shear bond strength values.

임플란트 지지 보철물의 'passive fit'은 보철물의 장기적인 성공과 합병증의 최소화에 핵심적인 요소이다. 그리고 이 요소는 보철물의 제작과정에 의해 대부분 결정된다. 전통적인 주조 방식은 금속의 수축 변형이 발생하여 광범위한 임플란트 보철물에 적용하는데 제한이 있었다. 그러나 Computer-aided design/Computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) 밀링 방식과 3D 프린팅 방식을 사용하면 이러한 한계점을 극복할 수 있다. 본 증례는 광범위한 임플란트 보철물을 사용한 완전 구강 회복 증례이다. 가철성 임시 보철물을 제작하여 심미와 기증을 평가하고 임플란트 식립을 위한 가이드로 사용하였다. 임플란트 식립 후, 임플란트 고정성 임시 보철물이 장착되었다. 추가적인 평가와 조정 후, 최종 보철물이 CAD를 사용하여 설계되었고, CAM을 사용하여 제작되었다. 전치부 임플란트의 나사 유지형 상부구조물은 밀링되어 제작되었고, 전치부 및 구치부 금속도재관의 금속구조물은 3D 프린팅되어 제작되었다. 보철물은 양호한 적합도를 보였고 술자와 환자 모두 증례의 최종 결과에 심미적, 기능적으로 만족하였다.

Objective: To compare computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) customized nitinol retainers with standard stainless-steel fixed retainers over a 12-month study period. Methods: This randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted on 62 patients randomly allocated to a control group that received stainless-steel retainers or a test group that received customized CAD/CAM nickel-titanium retainers. Four time points were defined: retainer placement (T0) and 1-month (T1), 6-month (T2), and 12-month (T3) follow-up appointments. At each time point, Little's irregularity index (LII) (primary endpoint) and dental stability measurements such as intercanine width were recorded in addition to assessment of periodontal parameters. Radiological measurements such as the incisor mandibular plane angle (IMPA) were recorded at T0 and T3. Failure events (wire integrity or debonding) were assessed at each time point. Results: From T0 to T3, LII and other dental measurements showed no significant differences between the two groups. The data for periodontal parameters remained stable over the study period, except for the gingival index, which was slightly, but significantly, higher in the test group at T3 (p = 0.039). The IMPA angle showed no intergroup difference. The two groups showed no significant difference in debonding events. Conclusions: This RCT conducted over a 12-month period demonstrated no significant difference between customized CAD/CAM nickel-titanium lingual retainers and standard stainless-steel lingual retainers in terms of dental anterior stability and retainer survival. Both retainers eventually appeared to be equally effective in maintaining periodontal health.

Purpose: To quantify the effect of the crystallization process on lithium disilicate ceramic crowns that are fabricated using a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing(CAD/CAM) system, and to determine whether they are clinically acceptable by comparing values before and after the crystallization process. Methods: The maxillary first molar was selected as the abutment for the experiments. Ten working models were prepared. Marginal and internal gap of 4 groups of lithium disilicate crowns(n=10) fabricated with conventional method. Comparison was performed using the silicone replica technique and 3D superimposition analysis. The marginal and internal gaps of the restoration were measured before and after the crystallization process of this prosthesis. The average value of each part(the average of values measured before and after the crystallization) was statistically analyzed using paired t-test(α=0.05). Results: The results from the second phase of this research, which compared the average value of the gap between the marginal and internal fits of the lithium disilicate single crown before and after the crystallization process, indicated that the marginal gap was larger and the internal gap was smaller after the crystallization process, and this difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) in all the parts evaluated. Conclusion: While the shrinkage that occurs during crystallization does affect the marginal and internal fit of the prosthesis, it cannot be concluded to be a major effect because the resultant distortion was within the clinically acceptable range.

당일수복 보철물 제작을 위해 디지털 프로세스 사용은 필수적이다. 이러한 디지털 프로세스는 구강스캔, 컴퓨터를 이용한 보철물을 디자인 과정(CAD)과 보철물을 가공하는 과정(CAM)을 포함한다. 지르코니아의 굴곡강도는 900Mpa로 리튬디실리케이트의 400MPa보다 더 단단하지만, 리튬디실리케이트를 이용한 보철물 기공시간이 지르코니아와 비교하여 더 짧기에 당일수복 보철물 제작시 리튬디실리케이트 사용이 선호되었다. 하지만, TZI C 와 LUXEN Enamel 와 같은 새로운 소재의 지르코니아가 출시되고, 새로운 소결방식이 개발되어 지르코니아 기공시간을 단축시킬수 있게 되었고, 높은 투명도의 풀지르코니아 크라운을 짧은 시간 안에 제작할 수 있게 되었다. 이러한 발전은 당일 풀지르코니아 보철수복을 현실로 이끌고 있다.
