PURPOSE. This study aimed to investigate the potential clinical application of digitized silicone rubber impressions by comparing the accuracy of zirconia 3-unit fixed partial dentures (FPDs) fabricated from 2 types of data (working model and impression) obtained from a laser scanner. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ten working models and impressions were prepared with epoxy resin and vinyl polysiloxane, respectively. Based on the data obtained from the laser scanner (D-700; 3Shape A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark), a total of 20 zirconia frameworks were prepared using a dental CAD/CAM system (DentalDesigner; 3shape A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark / Ener-mill, Dentaim, Seoul, Korea). The silicone replicas were sectioned into four pieces to evaluate the framework fit. The replicas were imaged using a digital microscope, and the fit of the reference points (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, and P7) were measured using the program in the device. Measured discrepancies were divided into 5 categories of gaps (MG, CG, AWG, AOTG, OG). Data were analyzed with Student's t-test ($\alpha$=0.05), repeated measures ANOVA and two-way ANOVA (${\alpha}=0.05$). RESULTS. The mean gap of the zirconia framework prepared from the working models presented a narrower discrepancy than the frameworks fabricated from the impression bodies. The mean of the total gap in premolars (P=.003) and molars (P=.002) exhibited a statistical difference between two groups. CONCLUSION. The mean gap dimensions of each category showed statistically significant difference. Nonetheless, the digitized impression bodies obtained with a laser scanner were applicable to clinical settings, considering the clinically acceptable marginal fit ($120{\mu}m$).

Statement of problem. In dentistry, the minimally prepared inlay resin-bonded fixed partial denture (FPD) made of new ceromer / fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) was recently introduced. However, the appropriate dimensions for the long-term success and subsequent failure strength are still unknown. Purpose. The aim of this study was to investigate the most fracture-resistible thickness combination of the ceromer / FRC using a universal testing machine and an AE analyzer. Material and Methods. A metal jig considering the dimensions of premolars and molars was milled and 56-epoxy resin dies, which had a similar elastic modulus to that of dentin, were duplicated. According to manufacturer's instructions, the FRC beams with various thicknesses (2 to 4 mm) were constructed and veneered with the 1 or 2 mm-thick ceromers. The fabricated FPDs were luted with resin cement on the resin dies and stored at room temperature for 72 hours. AE (acoustic emission) sensors were attached to both ends, the specimens were subjected to a compressive load until fracture at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. The AE and failure loads were recorded and analyzed statistically. Results. The results showed that the failure strength of the ceromer/FRC inlay FPDs was affected by the total thickness of the connectors rather than the ceromer to FRC ratio or the depth of the pulpal wall. Fracture was initiated from the interface and propagated into the ceromer layer regardless of the change in the ceromer / FRC ratio. Conclusion. Within the limitations of this study, the failure loads showed significant differences only in the case of different connector thicknesses, and no significant differences were found between the same connector thickness groups. The application of AE analysis method in a fiber-reinforced inlay FPD can be used to evaluate the fracture behavior and to analyze the precise fracture point.

본 연구의 목적은 4 종류의 저 침습 고정성 국소의치의 수직하중에 대한 저항을 연구하여 임상 활용에 도움을 주기 위함이다. 상악 우측 제 1 대구치 결손을 가정하여 상악 제 2 대구치와 제 2 소구치를 지대치로 하는 고정성 국소의치 금속 다이를 제작하고 4 종류의 저 침습 고정성 국소의치 (Resin bonded FPD, Two Key Bridge, Human Bridge without occlusal rest, Human Bridge with occlusal rest)를 제작하였다. 만능 시험기를 이용하여 수직하중을 가하여 실패 시의 최대 하중을 기록하고 실패 유형을 기록하였다. 평균 최대 하중은 Resin bonded FPD 군이 7,295 N, Two Key Bridge 군이 4,729 N, Human Bridge without occlusal rest 군이 2,190 N, Human Bridge with occlusal rest 군이 3,073 N 이었다. Resin bonded FPD, Two Key Bridge, Human Bridge 군 사이에는 통계학적 유의차가 있었으나 occlusal rest 의 유무에 따른 Human bridge 군 사이에서는 통계학적 유의차가 없었다. 보철물 실패양상은 Resin bonded FPD와 Two Key Bridge는 양측 지대치의 유지부 한쪽이 탈락되는 경우가 양측 모두 탈락되는 경우보다 많았으며 Human Bridge 군은 모두 지대치 양측의 유지부가 함께 탈락되는 경우가 한쪽이 탈락된 경우보다 더 많았다. 본 연구에서 저 침습 고정성 국소의치의 수직 하중에 대한 저항은 Human Bridge 군이 resin bonded FPD 군이나 Two key Bridge 군에 비하여 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 임상에 적용할 때에는 이와 같은 파절 저항을 고려하여 수복 위치의 최대 교합을 참고하는 것은 물론이고 각종 수복물의 탈락에 대한 저항, 그리고 치질의 삭제량, 환자의 협조도 등을 고려하여 각각의 환자에 적합한 수복물을 선택해야 할 것이다.

Flat Panel Displays (FPDs) have made a revolution in the display industry. TFT-LCD (Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display) has been the main player of FPD for last two decades. As the industry continuously develops the technology for better performance with lower cost is constantly demanded where several post LCD technologies are being developed. One of the prime candidates of post LCD technology is AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) that is considered to be an ideal FPD due to its extraordinary display performance and potentially low cost display structure. This technology has been accepted to small size display applications, such as cellular phone, PDA and PMP, etc. In this paper it is discussed that how this technology can be extended to large size display applications, such as TV. The technical issues and solutions of TFT backplane and color patterning of OLED materials are discussed and proposed

Motion artifact of Display devices has a huge interest from industries and users recently. Among those artifacts, color break up (CBU) is one of the key degrading characteristic in field sequential type displays. Unfortunately, there are no objective measurement methods for CBU. Here we introduce two different kinds of CBU and its measurement methods. The CBU characteristic of LCD, DLP, and PDP was measured and compared.

In the full white pattern, white uniformity means the degree of uniform distribution of white color and luminance across the whole screen. Among the FPDs(Flat Panel Displays), the TFT-LCD has weak point of viewing angle. The viewing angle considering location and direction can cause different image quality of the TFT-LCD. Therefore, white uniformity of the TFT-LCD must consider viewing angle. Based on international standards, this study proposes an alternative that is realistic and ergonomic measurement of white uniformity of the TFT-LCD.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive color enhancement algorithm. It is used for the flat panel displays (FPDs) such as LCD, PDP, and so on. The proposed algorithm consists of an adaptive linear approximation CDF(Cumulative Density Function) algorithm and an adaptive saturation enhancement algorithm. The one is for contrast enhancement which prevents an image from the distortion by luminance transient of an input image. The other is the algorithm which improves the saturation without the contour artifact and over-saturation, whose problems are generated during the enhancing saturation. In addition, it allows to achieve the high quality image using the saturation enhancement method for a preferred color of original image. Visual test and standard deviation of their histograms have been applied to evaluate the resultant output images of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, a display's emotional image quality can be primarily determined by designing the proper luminance level. Though displays with high luminance are preferred, too much light emission from a display may cause glare or visual fatigue to viewers. To find out the proper luminance level based on various video contents, this study was conducted with an OLED display with a real-black level and a wide color gamut, and with an LCD display with a high luminance level, to set the glare threshold under various conditions. The optimum luminance levels according to the display's loading ratio were found, and the maximum luminance that did not cause a glare in the test is proposed.

A two dimensional finite element model was constructed to analyze the mechanical behavior of four unit fixed partial dentures (FPD) with a 2nd premolar abutment either employing a rigid or nonrigid connector and a 2nd molar abutment(Branemark implant, IMZ implants and natural tooth). Gap elements were used to model the clearance space of the nonrigid connectors and each components of implants. All FPDs with a implant abutment alter the patterns of stress distribution and displacement, but the magnitude of stress in the periodontium was not greater than that of the control. A FPD with rigid connectors induced the smaller stresses in the periodontium than a FPD with a nonrigid connector. A FPD with a Branemark implant exhibited the more desirable mechanical stress states as compared to the IMZ implants with IME or IMC.

The information indicating device plays an important part in the information times. Recently, the classical CRT (Cathod Ray Tube) display is getting transferred to the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) one which is a kind of the FPDs (Flat Panel Displays). The OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) display of the FPDs has many advantages for the low power consumption, the luminescence in itself, the light weight, the thin thickness, the wide view angle, the fast response and so on as compared with the LCD one. The OLED has lately attracted considerable attention as the next generation device for the information indicators. And also it has already been applied for the outside panel of a mobile phone, and its demand will be gradually increased in the various fields. It is manufactured by the vapor deposition method in the vacuum state, and the uniformity of thin film on the substrate depends on the temperature distribution in the point-cell source. This paper describes the basic concepts that are obtained to design the point-cell source using the computational temperature analysis. The grids are generated using the module of AUTOHEXA in the ICEM CFD program and the temperature distributions are numerically obtained using the STAR-CD program. The temperature profiles are calculated for four cases, i.e., the charge rate for the source in the crucible, the ratio of diameter to height of the crucible, the ratio of interval to height of the heating bands, and the geometry modification for the basic crucible. As a result, the blowout phenomenon can be shown when the charge rate for the source increases. The temperature variation in the radial direction is decreased as the ratio of diameter to height is decreased and it is suggested that the thin film thickness can be uniformed. In case of using one heating band, the blowout can be shown as the higher temperature distribution in the center part of the source, and the clogging can appear in the top end of the crucible in the lower temperature. The phenomena of both the blowout and the clogging in the modified crucible with the nozzle-diffuser can be prevented because the temperature in the upper part of the crucible is higher than that of other parts and the temperature variation in the radial direction becomes small.
