본 연구의 목적은 glucose leakage test를 이용하여 soft chelating irrigation이 근관 충전의 sealing ability에 미치는 영향을 평가하는 것이다. 발치된 45개의 단근치를 수집하여 치관부를 잘라내 치근이 총 13mm가 되게 하였다. 근관은 K3 NiTi 구동 기구를 사용하여 성형하고 #45/.06 taper까지 확대하였다. 3개의 실험군(n=13)과 2개의 대조군(n=3)으로 나누었다. 실험군은 다음의 세척 방법으로 처리하였다. 1군, 2.5% NaOCl로 세척; 2군, 2.5% NaOCl로 세척 후 17% EDTA로 최종 세척; 3군, 2.5% NaOCl과 15% HEBP 혼합 용액으로 세척, 근관은 gutta-percha와 AH Plus를 사용하여 측방가압으로 충전하였다. $37^{\circ}C$, 습도 100%에서 7일 동안 보관하고 glucose leakage model을 이용하여 치관부로부터 치근부 방향의 미세누출을 정량화하였다. 1, 4, 7, 14, 21, 28일 째 누출된 glucose의 농도를 spectrophotometry로 측정하였다. 분석 결과 모든 실험군에서 실험 기간 동안 누출이 증가하는 경향이 있었다. HEBP처리군은 실험 기간 동안 EDTA처리군과 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. HEBP처리군은 21일 이후부터 도말층으로 덮인 NaOCl처리군에 비해 유의하게 낮은 누출을 보였다. HEBP로 처리된 상아질은 EDTA로 처리된 상아질과 비슷한 양상의 폐쇄를 보였으나 도말층이 남아있는 상아질보다는 우수한 sealing ability를 나타냈다. 그러므로 약한 킬레이트제인 HEBP는 EDTA의 대안이 될 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the apical leakage in extracted teeth filled with gutta-percha subsequent to dressing with one of three different calcium hydroxide preparations. Thirty six extracted teeth with single canal were used in this study. After working length determination, canals were prepared with K flexo files to a #40 at the working length. Step-back flaring was produced by using #45, #50 K flexo files and #2, #3, #4 Gates Glidden burs. The teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups of 10 each : the remaining six teeth were used for negative and positive leakage control: Group 1, dressed with pure calcium hydroxide powder (Sigma, USA) mixed with distilled water; Group 2, dressed with Metapaste (Metadent, Korea) ; Group 3, dressed with Vitapex (Neo Dental, Japan). Teeth were sealed with Caviton (GC, Japan) and incubated in 100% humidity, at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 1 wk. All kinds of calcium hydroxide were removed from the canal with a MAF and 5% NaOCl. The canals were filled with AH-26$^{\circledR}$ sealer and gutta-percha using lateral condensation technique, incubated in 100% humidity, at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 2 days for the sealer to be set. The teeth were coated twice with nail varnish except for an area of approximately 2mm surrounding the apical foramen. All specimens were placed in 2% methylene blue solution for 2 days. The root were sectioned longitudinally, the amount of apical leakage was measured to the most coronal part of the root canal to which the dye had penetrated. The independent measurements were made for each root using a stereomicroscope ($\times$40 magnification) and the average was recorded for statistical analysis. The results were as follows ; 1. The mean of apical leakage in group of pure calcium hydroxide ranged 0.102$\pm$0.156mm, in Metapaste$^{\circledR}$ ranged 0.062$\pm$0.069mm, and in Vitapex$^{\circledR}$ ranged 0.067$\pm$0.072mm. 2. Group of pure calcium hydroxide exhibited more leakage than those of 2 manufactured calcium hydroxide preparations, but it was not statistically significant. 3. Group of water-based Metapaste$^{\circledR}$ showed lesser leakage than that of oil-based Vitapex$^{\circledR}$, but it was not statistically significant.

수산화칼슘은 여러 약리작용으로 인해 근관소독제로 널리 사용되고 있는 약제이다. 근관 내에 수산화칼슘을 투약한 후 gutta-percha와 더불어 산화아연-유지놀계 근관시멘트로 근관을 충전하는 경우 근관시멘트의 물성에 변화가 있다는 보고가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수산화칼슘과 산화아연-유지놀 간의 반응에 의해 생성되는 수산화칼슘-유지놀 화합물의 반응성을 확인하기 위하여 수산화칼슘, 유지놀, 산화아연-유지놀, 수산화칼슘-유지놀 및 수산화칼슘-산화아연-유지놀 화합물을 XRD, FT-IR spectrophotometer 및 FT-NMR spectrometer로 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 수산화칼슘과 산화아연-유지놀 간의 반응으로 생성된 화합물은 다음과 같았다. 2. 수산화칼슘은 유지놀과 화학결합(이온결합)을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 3. $Ca^{2+}$과 유지놀 사이의 결합은 단순 이온결합이다. 따라서 수산화칼슘-산화아연유지놀 화합물은 중화반응에서 생기거나 외부에서 유입된 물이 존재시 쉽게 이온화되어 물리적 성질이 저하될 것으로 생각된다.

Use of an apical plug in management of cases with open apices has gained popularity in recent years. Biodentine, a new calcium silicate-based material has recently been introduced as a dentine substitute, whenever original dentine is damaged. This case report describes single visit apexification in a maxillary central incisor with necrotic pulp and open apex using Biodentine as an apical barrier, and a synthetic collagen material as an internal matrix. Following canal cleaning and shaping, calcium hydroxide was placed as an intracanal medicament for 1 mon. This was followed by placement of small piece of absorbable collagen membrane beyond the root apex to serve as matrix. An apical plug of Biodentine of 5 mm thickness was placed against the matrix using pre-fitted hand pluggers. The remainder of canal was back-filled with thermoplasticized gutta-percha and access cavity was restored with composite resin followed by all-ceramic crown. One year follow-up revealed restored aesthetics and function, absence of clinical signs and symptoms, resolution of periapical rarefaction, and a thin layer of calcific tissue formed apical to the Biodentine barrier. The positive clinical outcome in this case is encouraging for the use of Biodentine as an apical plug in single visit apexification procedures.

The presence of radix entomolaris (RE) in a mandibular first molar is a common occurrence in certain ethnic groups, but the presence of RE in a mandibular second molar is a rare occurrence. In the present case, RE was identified from preoperative radiographs and confirmed using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The access cavity was modified to locate the RE. Cleaning and shaping were performed with nickel-titanium rotary instruments. Obturation was completed with gutta-percha cones using AH Plus (Dentsply Detrey GmbH) as sealer. From the CBCT axial images, the RE was determined to have a Type III curvature by the De Moor classification, Type B separate RE by the Carlsen and Alexandersen classification, and radiographically, a Type i image by the Wang classification. The presence of RE in the mandibular second molar makes it essential to anticipate and treat the distolingual root canal. This case report highlights the usefulness of CBCT for assessing RE in the mandibular second molar, which can help the clinician in making a confirmatory diagnosis and assessing the morphology of the root canal.

Eighty - eight recently extracted teeth were used to evaluate the leakage characteristics of the following retrofilling materials; amalgam, zinc oxide eugenol cement, glass - ionomer cement, and cermet glass - ionomer cement. Root canals were prepared with step - back method and obturated with gutta percha and zinc oxide eugenol sealer. Root apex were resected 2 mm from apex and class I cavities were prepared with 2 mm or 4 mm depth. The cavities were filled with above materials. After application of varnish on all surface except resected surface, the roots were placed in 1 % methylene blue solution for 6 days. After longitudinal polishing to expose cental parts of filled materials, penetrated depths of dye were measured. The results were as follws. 1. As retrofilling material, glass ionomer cement filling groups showed less leakage than the other groups except zinc oxide eugenol cement filling group(p<0.01). 2. Amalgam filling groups had greater leakage than zinc oxide eugenol cement filling group(p<0.01). 3. 4 mm depth of retrofilled cavity had no effect on leakage characteristics compared with 2 mm depth cavity(p>0.05). 4. Glass ionomer cement and cermet glass ionomer cement filling groups showed less apical leakage than amalgam filling groups. But there was no statistical significance(p>0.05). 5. There was no difference in apical leakage between glass ionomer cement filling groups and cermet glass ionomer cement filling groups(p>0.05).

The author observed histochemically the nature of the calcified tissue in the rabbit dental pulp, induced by pulpal injection of potassium permanganate. The pulp of rabbit mandibular incisors were exposed and enlarged by a dental hand reamer. The exposed pulps were injected with 0.05ml of 20mM solution of potassium permanganate dissolved in Ringer's solution in experimental tooth. Also the control tooth received a pulpal injection of 0.05ml of Ringer's solution. After pulpal injection, the tooth was plugged with a gutta-percha root canal point. The staining techniques were hematoxylin-eosin stain, van Gieson stain, PAS reaction, toluidine blue stain, alcian blue-hematoxylin stain and colloidal iron-picric acid stain. The results were as follows: 1. The pulp on experimental tooth showed osteodentin-like calcified tissue. Also, in some areas, false denticle-like substance were observed. 2. The central portion of the calcified matrix showed metachromasia in toluidine blue stain had strong staining capacity in alcian blue stain. 3. The peripheral portion of the calcified tissue revealed marked van Gieson positive reaction for collagen. But their staining ability in alcian blue was slight and metachromasia was not appeared.

The purpose of this electrochemical study was to determine and compare the sealing effect of three commonly used calcium hydroxide-based sealers (Sealapex, Apexit, and CRCS) with that of Roth 801 which is a ZOE-based sealer. 64 single rooted teeth were used in this experiment. After removing the crown, the teeth were devided into 4 groups of 15 in each and obturated with gutta-percha and experimental sealers. 4 teeth were as controls(2 positive and 2 negative). The results were as follows : 1. During the observation period, all sealers showed varying degree of microleakage. 2. The mean leakage currents according to the electrochemical study of each group showed $0.418{\pm}0.006mV$ for Roth 801, $2.03{\pm}0.035mV$ for Sealapex, $3.33{\pm}0.069mV$ for Apxit and $6.48{\pm}0.097mV$ for CRCS group. The positive control group showed 600mV. 3. There were statistically significant difference in mean leakage among experimental groups. ZOE-typed Roth 801 sealer was the lowest, and Sealapex, Apexit, CRCS group in that order showed increased leakage(P<0.05). 4. Roth 801, Sealapex and Apexit group showed increasing leakage with time, but CRCS group showed stable or decreasing leakage tendency.
