연구목적: 새로운 silorane 복합레진의 중합수축응력을 기존의 methacrylate 계열의 복합레진과 비교 분석하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: Z250, P60, P90 각 군당 10개의 시편을 준비하였다. 시편에 스트레인 게이지를 부착하고 각 재료의 제조사에서 추천하는 접착제 도포 후 10초간, 수복 재료 적용 후 40초간 할로겐 광조사기로 광중합한 뒤 중합수축응력을 측정 하였다. 외경 10 mm, 내경 7 mm, 높이 3 mm의 아크릴릭 주형을 준비하고 주형의 내면은 5초간 sandblasting 처리한 후, 30초간 35% 인산으로 산부식 시행하였다. 주형의 외면은 Cyanoacrylate adhesive (SOKKI)로 스트레인 게이지를 부착하였다. 주형의 내면과 복합 레진을 접착하기 위한 접착제로 methacrylate 기질의 복합 레진 2종은 Single Bond (3M ESPE)를, silorane 기질의 복합레진은 P90 Adhesive system (3M ESPE)을 적용하였고 할로겐 광조사기를 사용하여 10초간 광중합하였다. 시편에 부착된 스트레인 게이지를 TML data logger에 연결시키고 광중합 전의 초기값을 설정한다. 중합시간은 모든 군의 에너지 총량을 동일하게 하기 위해 400 mW/$cm^2$의 광강도로 설정하여 40초간 광중합하였다. 광중합 시점부터 1초 간격으로 800초 간의 스트레인 값을 측정하였고 스트레인 값은 Hooke's law를 이용하여 각 시점의 수축응력으로 환산하여 기록하였다. 결과: 1. 모든 군에서 광중합 직후에는 일시적으로 팽창하였다가 급속한 수축률을 보였고 시간이 지날수록 수축률이 감소하는 경향을 보이다가 200초 이후에는 수축률이 완만해지는 양상을 보였다. 2. 모든 군에서 수축응력이 계속 증가하였고, silorane 기질의 복합레진 P90이 methacrylate 기질의 복합레진 Z250, P60 보다 낮은 수축응력 값을 보였다(p < 0.05). 3. Methacrylate 기질의 복합레진인 Z250과 P60 두가지 재료간 수축응력에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p > 0.05). 결론: Silorane 기질 복합레진의 사용은 methacrylate 기질 복합레진보다 중합수축응력이 더 작을 것으로 기대되지만 silorane 기질 복합레진의 탄성계수에 있어서 다소 불리한 특성이 보고되는 바, 임상적 적용에 앞서 이에 대한 충분한 고찰 및 추가적인 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: The aim of this in vitro study was to test the effect of 2 finishing-polishing sequences (QB, combining a 12/15-fluted finishing bur and an EVO-Light polisher; QWB, adding a 30-fluted polishing bur after the 12/15-fluted finishing bur used in the QB sequence) on 5 nanotech-based resin composites (Filtek Z500, Ceram X Mono, Ceram X Duo, Tetric Evoceram, and Tetric Evoceram Bulk Fill) by comparing their final surface roughness and hardness values to those of a Mylar strip control group (MS). Materials and Methods: Twelve specimens of each nanocomposite were prepared in Teflon moulds. The surface of each resin composite was finished with QB (5 samples), QWB (5 samples), or MS (2 samples), and then evaluated (60 samples). Roughness was analysed with an optical profilometer, microhardness was tested with a Vickers indenter, and the surfaces were examined by optical and scanning electron microscopy. Data were analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis test (p < 0.05) followed by the Dunn test. Results: For the hardness and roughness of nanocomposite resin, the QWB sequence was significantly more effective than QB (p < 0.05). The Filtek Z500 showed significantly harder surfaces regardless of the finishing-polishing sequence (p < 0.05). Conclusions: QWB yielded the best values of surface roughness and hardness. The hardness and roughness of the 5 nanocomposites presented less significant differences when QWB was used.

The use of flowable composite resins as liners in class II packable composite restoration has been suggested by some manufacturers. However, the contributions of this technique are unproven. The purpose of this study was to compare the gingival microleakage in class II packable composite restorations with or without the use of flowable composite resins as liners. Slot cavities were prepared on both proximals of 80 extracted human molars and randomly assigned to 8 groups of 20 each. The gingival margins were located at 1mm above CEJ in 80 cavities (group1-4) and 1mm below CEJ in 80 cavities (group5-8). The prepared teeth were mounted in the customized tray with adjacent teeth to simulate clinical conditions and metallic matrix band (Sectional matrix) and wooden wedges were applied. After acid etching and application of Single Bond, each group was restored with the following materials using incremental placement technique: Group 1,5 (Filtek P60), group 2, 3, 4 and group 6, 7, 8 (AeliteFlo, TetricFlow, Revolution/ Filtek P60). All specimens were thermocycled 500 times between 5$^{\circ}C$ and 55$^{\circ}C$ with 1 mimute dwell time, immersed 2% methylene blue dye for 24 hours and then rinsed with tab water. The specimens were embedded in clear resin and sectioned longitudinally through the center of restoration with a low speed diamond saw. Dye penetration at gingival margin was viewed at 20 magnification and analyzed on a scale of 0 to 4. Kruscal-Wallis One way analysis and Mann-Whitney Rank sum test were used to analyze the results. The results of this study were as follows. 1. The leakage values seen at the enamel margin were significantly lower than those seen at the dentin margin(P<0.05). 2. On the enamel margin, packable composite resins with flowable liners showed lower leakage than those without flowable liners, but there were no significant differences among the four groups(P>0.05). 3. On the dentin margin, four groups demonstrated moderate to severe leakage, and there were no significant differences in leakage values(P>0.05).

본 연구는 복합레진 적층방법에 따른 복합레진의 수축양상을 스트레인 게이지를 이용하여 비교 평가하고자 하였다. 사용된 광중합기의 광원은 light-emitting diode(LED)와 plasma arc lamp(PAL)이었으며, 복합레진은 Filtek $Z350^{TM}$를 사용하였다. 교정 치료를 목적으로 발거된 60개의 소구치를 대상으로 하여, 교합면에 와동을 형성하고 일회충전법, 수평적층법, 사면적층법으로 나누어 복합레진을 충전하여 치면에 발생된 strain과 응력을 측정하였고, 법랑질 표면에 시편을 부착하여 동일한 적층방법으로 충전한 후 전단결합강도를 측정한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. Strain의 변화를 살펴보면, LED와 PAL 조사군 모두 와동의 협설면에서는 주로 팽창이 일어났다가 시간이 지남에 따라 서서히 수축하는 양상을 보여주었다. 2. 와동의 근원심면에서는 팽창과 수축이 반복적으로 나타나면서 서서히 수축량이 증가하였다. 3. LED와 PAL 조사군 모두 적층방법 간의 응력 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 4. LED 및 PAL 조사군 간의 응력 차이는 협면에서만 존재하였다(p<0.05). 5. 전단결합강도 측정 결과 LED 군에서는 사면적층법이 일회충전법, 수평적층법 보다 유의하게 낮게 나타났으나(p<0.05), PAL 광조사군에서는 유의차가 없었다(p>0.05). 6. 각 치면에 발생된 응력은 전단결합강도보다 낮았다(p<0.05).

Purpose: ANSI/ADA has established standards for adequate radiopacity. This study was aimed to assess the changes in radiopacity of composite resins according to various tube-target distances and exposure times. Materials and Methods: Five 1-mm thick samples of Filtek P60 and Clearfil composite resins were prepared and exposed with six tube-target distance/exposure time setups (i.e., 40 cm, 0.2 seconds; 30 cm, 0.2 seconds; 30 cm, 0.16 seconds, 30 cm, 0.12 seconds; 15 cm, 0.2 seconds; 15 cm, 0.12 seconds) performing at 70 kVp and 7 mA along with a 12-step aluminum stepwedge (1 mm incremental steps) using a PSP digital sensor. Thereafter, the radiopacities measured with Digora for Windows software 2.5 were converted to absorbencies (i.e., A=-log (1-G/255)), where A is the absorbency and G is the measured gray scale). Furthermore, the linear regression model of aluminum thickness and absorbency was developed and used to convert the radiopacity of dental materials to the equivalent aluminum thickness. In addition, all calculations were compared with those obtained from a modified 3-step stepwedge (i.e., using data for the 2nd, 5th, and 8th steps). Results: The radiopacities of the composite resins differed significantly with various setups (p<0.001) and between the materials (p<0.001). The best predicted model was obtained for the 30 cm 0.2 seconds setup ($R^2$=0.999). Data from the reduced modified stepwedge was remarkable and comparable with the 12-step stepwedge. Conclusion: Within the limits of the present study, our findings support that various setups might influence the radiopacity of dental materials on digital radiographs.

Objectives: Natural extracts have been investigated as a biomimetic strategy to mechanically strengthen the collagen network and control the biodegradation of extracellular matrix. This study evaluated the effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) on abfraction lesions prior to the composite resin. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 30 patients (aged between 28 and 60 years) with abfraction lesions located in 2 homologous premolars. The teeth were randomly assigned according to dentin treatment: 0.02% EGCG solution or distilled water (control). After enamel acid etching, the solutions were applied immediately for 1 minute. The teeth were restored with Universal Adhesive (3M) and Filtek Z350 XT (3M). Analyzes were done by 2 independent examiners using modified USPHS (retention, secondary caries, marginal adaptation, and postoperative sensitivity) and photographic (color, marginal pigmentation, and anatomical form) criteria at baseline (7 days) and final (18 months). The data analysis used Friedman and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests (α = 0.05). Results: At baseline, all restorations were evaluated as alpha for all criteria. After 18 months, restorations were evaluated as alpha for secondary caries, color, and marginal pigmentation. There was significant difference between baseline and 18 months (p = 0.009) for marginal adaptation and postoperative sensitivity (p = 0.029), but no significant difference were verified between treatments (p = 0.433). The EGCG group had a restoration retention rate of 93.3%, while the control group had 96.7%. Conclusions: The application of EGCG solution on abfraction lesions did not significantly influence the survival of the restorations based on clinical and photographic criteria.

The aim of study was to investigate the effect of flow, specimen geometry and adhesion on the measurement of linear polymerization shrinkage of light cured composite resins using linear shrinkage measuring device. Four commercially available composites - an anterior posterior hybrid composite Z100, a posterior packable composite P60 and two flowable composites, Filtek flow and Tetric flow-were studied. The linear polymerization shrinkage of composites was determined using 'bonded disc method' and 'non-bond-ed' free shrinkage method at varying C-factor in the range of 1∼8 by changing specimen geometry. These measured linear shrinkage values were compared with free volumetric shrinkage values. The viscosity and flow of composites were determined and compared by measuring the dropping speed of metal rod under constant load. In non-bonded method, the linear shrinkage approximated one third of true volumetric shrink-age by isotropic contraction. However, in bonded disc method, as the bonded surface increased the linear shrinkage increased up to volumetric shrinkage value by anisotropic contraction. The linear shrinkage value increased with increasing C-factor and approximated true volumetric shrinkage and reached plateau at about C-factor 5∼6. The more flow the composite was, reduced linear shrinkage was measured by compensation radial flow.

This study investigated the influence of IRM on marginal microleakage of 5th generation adhesives. Class V cavities with gingival margins in dentin were prepared on both buccal and lingual surfaces of 60 extract-ed human molar teeth. Prepared teeth were randomly divided into six groups. Group 1 and 4 received no temporary restoration with IRM. Group 2 and 5 were covered with IRM mixed at P/L ratio(10g/1g). Group 3 and 6 were covered with IRM mixed at P/L ratio(10g/2g). The temporary restorations were removed mechanically with an ultrasonic scaler after one-week storage in distilled water. The cavities were restored using one of two adhesives and composites ; Single Bond/Filtek Z 250(Croup 1, 2 and 3), UniFil Bond/UniFil F(Group 4, 5 and 6). Following one day storage in distilled water, the restored teeth were thermocycled for 500 cycles(between $5^{\circ}C{\;}and{\;}55^{\circ}C$) and immersed in 2 % methylene blue for dye penetration testing. The results were analysed using Kruskal-Wallis Test, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon signed ranked test at a significance level of 0.05. The results of this study were as follows 1. Ranking of mean microleakage scores at the enamel margins was Group 10.05) 4. At the dentin margins, the microleakage of the group not pretreated with IRM was lower than that of the group pretreated with IRM. And the microleakage of UniFil Bond was lower than that of Single Bond. 5. Compared with microleakages between the enamel and dentin margins of each groups, Group 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 at dentin margin were higher microleakage than those at enamel margin. There were significant difference between enamel and dentin microleakage of Group 2 and 3(p<0.05).

글라스 아이오노머 시멘트는 초기 우식 치질에 재광화 효과가 있다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 시판되고 있는 세 가지 종류의 글라스 아이오노머 시멘트(Fuji IX $GP^{TM}$, $Vitremer^{TM}$, $F2000^{TM}$)를 실험군으로, 복합 레진(Filtek $Z250^{TM}$)을 대조군으로 사용하여 3개월간 인접면 우식증에 대한 재광화 효과를 시편의 파괴 없이 1개월 간격으로 QLF로 시편의 상을 얻고, 이렇게 얻은 상의 무기질 소실량(${\Delta}Q$)을 측정하여 ${\Delta}Q$의 변화량을 계산하여 시편의 재광화 정도를 평가하였다. 인접면 수복물은 인공 우식 병소가 있는 치아 시편과 수복재료(세 가지 글라스 아이오노머 및 복합 레진)를 접촉시켜 재현하였고, 이것을 인공 타액에 완전히 잠기도록 하여 pH 7.0, $37^{\circ}C$를 유지하였다. 치아 시편들은 실험 시작 후 30, 60, 90일 뒤에 꺼내어 QLF로 촬영하였다. 얻어진 영상을 QLF를 이용하여 시편 각각의 무기질 소실량(${\Delta}Q$)을 측정하였고, ${\Delta}Q$의 변화량(${\Delta}{\Delta}Q$), 즉 무기질 소실 변화량을 계산하여 얻어진 값을 ANOVA로 분석하고, Dunnett C multiple comparison test로 사후 검정을 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 모든 군에서 병소의 무기질 소실량(${\Delta}Q$)이 증가하였다. 2. 무기질 소실량(${\Delta}Q$)의 변화량인 무기실 소실 변화량(${\Delta}{\Delta}Q$)은, 1 개월 후에는 글라스 아이오노머 시멘트가 복합레진에 비해 유의하게 컸으며(p<0.05), 글라스 아이오노머 중에서는 Fuji IX $GP^{TM}$가 $Vitremer^{TM}$, $F2000^{TM}$에 비해 유의하게 컸다(p<0.05). 2 개월 후에는 Fuji IX $GP^{TM}$가 나머지 군에 비해 ${\Delta}{\Delta}Q$가 유의하게 컸으며(p<0.05), 3 개월 후에는 모든 군간에 ${\Delta}{\Delta}Q$의 유의한 차이가 없었다. 3. 세 가지 글라스 아이오노머 시멘트에서 무기실 소실 변화량(${\Delta}{\Delta}Q$), 즉 재광화 정도는 시간이 지날수록 점차 감소하였다. 4. 대조군인 복합 레진 군에서도 무기실 소실 변화량(${\Delta}{\Delta}Q$)은 증가하였다.
