The post core system has been used for reconstructon of severely damaged crown by caries or trauma. But problems such as crown exfoliation, post core fracture and root fracture have been reported. Ideal mechanical properies of the post require high fracture strength, high elastic limit and high resistance against fatigue and corrosion Modulus of elasticity of the post should be similar with that of dentine. Low hardness is also required for the convenience of post removal in failure. Furthermore, the post itself must be translucent for the esthetical purpose. Several types of the post have been developed to satisfy the criteria above mentioned. The purpose of this study was to find out the mechanical properties of quartz fiber post by comparing with those of gold post and zirconia post. The results of this study were as follows : 1. Maximal fracture strength and stiffness of quartz fiber post were similar with those of gold post and zirconia post. 2. Young's modulus and hardness of quartz fiber post were lower than those of gold post and zirconia post. Mechanical property of quartz fiber post against post fracture was similar with that of gold post and zirconia post. Mechanical property of quartz fiber post against root fracture was higher than that of gold post and zirconia post. Quartz fiber post could be removed easily due to low hardness.

PURPOSE. All-ceramic restorations required extensive tooth preparation. The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate a minimally invasive preparation and thickness of monolithic zirconia crowns, which would provide sufficient mechanical endurance and strength. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Crowns with thickness of 0.2 mm (group 0.2, n=32) or of 0.5 mm (group 0.5, n=32) were milled from zirconia and fixed with resin-based adhesives (groups 0.2A, 0.5A) or zinc phosphate cements (groups 0.2C, 0.5C). Half of the samples in each subgroup (n=8) underwent thermal cycling and mechanical loading (TCML)(TC: $5^{\circ}C$ and $55^{\circ}C$, $2{\times}3,000cycles$, 2 min/cycle; ML: 50 N, $1.2{\times}10^6cycles$), while the other samples were stored in water ($37^{\circ}C/24h$). Survival rates were compared (Kaplan-Maier). The specimens surviving TCML were loaded to fracture and the maximal fracture force was determined (ANOVA; Bonferroni; ${\alpha}=.05$). The fracture mode was analyzed. RESULTS. In both 0.5 groups, all crowns survived TCML, and the comparison of fracture strength among crowns with and without TCML showed no significant difference (P=.628). Four crowns in group 0.2A and all of the crowns in group 0.2C failed during TCML. The fracture strength after 24 hours of the cemented 0.2 mm-thick crowns was significantly lower than that of adhesive bonded crowns. All cemented crowns provided fracture in the crown, while about 80% of the adhesively bonded crowns fractured through crown and die. CONCLUSION. 0.5 mm thick monolithic crowns possessed sufficient strength to endure physiologic performance, regardless of the type of cementation. Fracture strength of the 0.2 mm cemented crowns was too low for clinical application.

본 연구의 목적은 시중에 유통되고 있는 밴드 시멘트들을 종류별로 이용하여 교정용 밴드의 결합강도를 비교하고, 각 시멘트의 파절 양상을 비교하여 교정용 밴드에 대한 사용지침을 마련하는데 도움이 되고자 하였다. 100개의 발거된 인간의 제 3대구치를 이용해 실험군은 총 5개의 군으로 하였으며, 각 군당 시편수가 20개가 되도록 임의적으로 분류하였다. 실험에 사용한 밴드 시멘트는 다음과 같다; Ormco gold, Ultra $Band-Lok^{TM}$, Fuji $Ortho^{TM}$ LC, 3M $Unitek^{TM}$ Multi-Cure Glass Ionomer, $Ketac-Cem^{TM}$. Universal testing machine(Instron Corp., Canton, MA, USA)를 사용하여 최대하중값을 측정하였고, 전단결합강도 값을 계산하였다. 밴드가 탈락한 후, 탈락 부위를 평가하여 법랑질과 시멘트, 시멘트와 밴드 사이로 구분하였다. 밴드의 전단강도는 One-way ANOVA를 이용하여 통계처리 하였으며 Tukey test를 이용하여 검정하였다. 또한 탈락 부위는 Chi-squre analysis를 이용하여 통계 처리하였고, Fisher's exact test로 군간 유의성을 검정하였다. 실험 결과 평균 파절 강도는 Ormco군이 가장 높았고(2.44${\pm}$0.57), Fuji $Ortho^{TM}$군(2.24${\pm}$0.50), $Ketac-Cem^{TM}$군(2.10${\pm}$0.57), 3M $Unitek^{TM}$군(1.82${\pm}$0.43), $Band-Lok^{TM}$군(1.73${\pm}$0.28) 순이었으며, Ormco군은 $Band-Lok^{TM}$군과 3M $Unitek^{TM}$군, Fuji $Ortho^{TM}$군은 $Band-Lok^{TM}$군과만 통계적으로 유의할만한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 파절 양상에서 Ormco군과 $Band-Lok^{TM}$군은 서로뿐만 아니라 다른 군과 유의할만한 차이를 보였으며, Fuji $Ortho^{TM}$, 3M $Unitek^{TM}$, $Ketac-Cem^{TM}$ 군 간에는 유의한 차이가 없었다.
