In this study, 88 dental students were examined to evaluate the relationship between occlusal states and TM disorders for the epidemiologic study of TM disorders. The clinical evaluation were composed of mandibular movement, TMJ noise, occlusal states and muscle palpation. The following results were disclosed. 1. The frequencies of pain on mandibular movement were 3.4% on maximum opening, 1.13% on protrusion and no pain on laterotrusion. 2. The frequencies on TMJ sound were 21.6% in click, 1.13% in crepitus. 3. The frequency of tenderness on palpation was 12.5% on extra oral, intraoral and neck muscles, tenderness on palpation of TMJ capsule were reported 5 cases, and 4 of them were female. 4. The distribution of Angle's classification was found 79.5% in class I, 4.5% in clasII-div.1 and 15.9% in class III. There was no significant differences on TM disorders between Angles classifications. 5. There was no significant differences on TM disorders between the subjects of canine guided occlusion and group function occlusion, and also for the differences between the subjects of nonworking side interferences and no interferences on laterotrusion. 6. There was no significant differences on TM disorders between the subjects of anterior teeth trauma in C.C. and no anterior teeth trauma, but there were significant differences between the subjects of posterior protrusive contact and no posterior protrusive contact.

In an edentulous situation, the dentist must make several determinations when constructing artificial teeth. These include vertical and horizontal relationships of mandible with respect to the maxilla, occlusal form and position, vertical dimension, occlusal relationships during both centric closure and eccentric excursive movements. Artificial teeth are attached to a movable base resting on movable and displaceable living tissue subject to damage. They act as a unit; therefore, they must be arranged to function as a unit. Bilateral balanced occlusion is that stability of the denture is attained when bilateral contacts ex ist throughout all dynamic and static states of the denture during function. Lateral excursion in a balanced scheme implies simultaneous working side and nonworking side contact, while occlusal contacts are maintained on both anterior and posterior teeth as the mandible moves anteriorly into protrusion.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to estimate the effects of occlusal stability to identify action mechanisms of mouthguards, known to have a modulatory effect on limb muscle function. MATERIALS AND METHODS. This study included 20 male subjects to perform the isokinetic muscle tests and the Wingate anaerobic power test on both knee joints under five closed-mouth conditions: without or with 4 types of mouthguards with thickness of 2 mm based on premolar area: (1) full-coverage, (2) anterior partial-coverage, (3) right posterior partial-coverage, and (4) left posterior partial-coverage. The obtained results were subjected to One-way ANOVA with repeated measures, followed by post hoc test of the contrast method (${\alpha}$=.05). RESULTS. There was no significant difference between the closed position with and without a full-coverage mouthguard in all variables. However, significant differences were observed between with and without a partial-coverage mouthguard in muscular endurance during extension of the left knee, muscular power and endurance during flexion of the right knee. Additionally, significant differences were found between occlusal states with full- and partial-coverage mouthguards in muscular power and endurance during extension of the left knee. CONCLUSION. These findings indicate the elevation of vertical dimension by 2 mm or the inducement of occlusal stability had little effect on isokinetic muscle strength and anaerobic performance, while uneven distribution of occlusal force might have some positive effects.

Purpose: Orthognathic surgery is required in patients with severe skeletal disharmony and facial asymmetry, which results in functional and esthetic improvement. Recently, bimaxillary surgery has become generalized. Establishment of the occlusal plane among several other factors included in the surgery plan is a major consideration for the diagnosis and treatment plan and it is also an important factor for postoperative stability. Methods: In this study, we assessed postoperative stability of occlusal plane, B-point, and pogonion point on 20 patients who underwent two-jaw surgery in the Chosun Dental Hospital from 2000 to 2007. Preoperative and postoperative states and at least a one year postoperative follow-up were compared. Results: The postsurgical relapse volume of the occlusal plane to the SN plane and the FH plane was $-0.26{\pm}2.8^{\circ}$ and $-0.44{\pm}3.29^{\circ}$, respectively and after two-jaw surgery, the stability of occlusal plane was maintained. The horizontal relapse degree was $0.85{\pm}0.46$ mm and $0.76{\pm}0.48$ mm, respectively, and the vertical relapse degree was $1.16{\pm}0.36$ mm and $1.13{\pm}0.71$ mm of the B point and the Pogonion point at the time after minimal 1 year. Conclusion: The vertical relapse amount was shown to be slightly larger than the horizontal relapse amount.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of the Hall technique (HT) and atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) restorations using high-viscosity glass-ionomer cement for the management of occlusal carious lesions in primary molars. Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical study observed 40 children (aged 5-6 years). For each child, one tooth was treated with HT and one with ART. The primary outcome measures for HT restorations were successful, minor, and major failure rates. Clinical evaluations of ART restorations were performed according to the modified United States Public Health Service criteria during 18-month follow-up. McNemar test was used for statistical analysis. Results: Thirty of 40 (75%) participants returned for 18 months of follow-up. In the clinical evaluations of teeth that were treated with HT, the patients did not have complaints of pain or other symptoms, all crowns remained in the oral cavity, the gums were healthy, and the teeth were functional in all evaluations. At the end of the 18-month follow-up, the surface texture and marginal integrity criteria of ART restorations were recorded as 26.7% and 33.3%, respectively. In the radiographic evaluation of 30 patients treated with ART and HT, all restorations were considered successful. Conclusions: The 18-month clinical and radiographic results after treatments applied to single-surface cavities in anxious children showed that both treatment methods were successful.

To compare the wear resistance of four kinds of commercial acrylic resin teeth [SR-Orthosit PosterioresR(Ivoclar Co., Liechtenstein), Endura PosteriorR(Shofu Inc. Japan), trubyte IPN teethR(Dentsply International Inc., York,), Trubyte BiotoneR(dentsply Inermational Inc. Brazil) by means of the toothbrush abrasion method, the artificial resin teeth were embedded in epoxy resin with the occlusal surfaces aligned in one plane for a total of 40 blocks. There after, each lock was mounted in the arm of the toothbrush abrasion machine(K 236, Japan). Wear measurements were made on the three preconditioned states. Those were as follows : no treatment specimens, thermocycled specimens, and thermocycled specimens which were immeresed applied load of 400g during the buring the brushing cycle. At the end of the 30,000-stroke cycle, each specimen was removed, and weighed. The microhardness of four kinds of commercial resin teeth were determined by means of microhardness tester. Microhardness tests were performed on te no treatment specimens, thermocycled specimens, and thermocycled specimens with immersion in the denture cleansing solution. Finally, the comparison of thermal properties were perfomed using differential scanning calorimeter(DSC-1500). The following results were obtained : 1. In the case of no treatment teeth, the wear amount of endura Posterior(EN) was the greatest among the others(p<0.01), and the wear amount of three kinds of artificial resin teeth was increased in the order of Trubyte IPN teeth(IN), Trubyte Biotone(BN), SR-Orthosit Posteriores(SN) but there was no statistic significance(p>0.01). 2. The wear amount of Trubyte IPN teeth(IT) and Trubyte Biotone(BT), was increased due to thermocycling effect, but that of Endura Posteriores(ET) was decreased conversely(p<0.01). 3. Except for the SR-Orthosit Posteriores(STC), the wear amount of three kinds of artificial resing teeth(that is, ETC, ITC, BTC) was increased due to denture cleansing solution$(Cledent^R)$, but there was no statistic significance(p>0.01). But the wear amount of the SR-Orthosit Posteriores(STC) was the greatest among the others(p<0.01). 4. The wear amount of toothbrush was the greatest in case of contact with occlusal surface of SROrthosit Posteriores resin teeth(p<0.01). 5. the microhardness values(KHN) of the SR-Orthosit Posteriores was the highest among the experimental artificial resin teeth(p<0.01). 6. There was no relationship between microhardness valuse(KHN) and wear amount of four kinds of experimental artificial resin teeth(p<0.01). 7. The differential canning calorimetric property of four kinds of artificial resin teeth did not show endothermal or exothermal peak in the range of $100^{\circ}C$

This is a research for thickness change of denture base according to the shape of sprue & investment position of denture base in flask when injecting polyamid base resin for flexible partial denture as a part of study for Valplast among the flexible partial denture with a nylon base. It has been introduced several kinds of flexible partial denture product with a nylon base, but Valplast is the most widely used product among them. Valplast has been the most generally used material today since developed in 1950s in the United States as a material for flexible partial denture. Valplast is much more aesthetic than general metal-acrylic partial denture due to its translucent pink color and biocompatibility in terms of material characteristic. It keeps its flexibility for a long time after production, imposes a less burden on the teeth used as abutment, and it can be easily insert and remove due to its particular suppleness. Moreover, it is felt like real teeth more than metal-acrylic partial denture when being put in and takes alveolar bone under good protection since it receives occlusal force equally under the denture base. The most outstanding feature of Valplast is flexibility. The extent of its flexibility is determined by width & thickness of denture base. Considering general working procedure of Valplast, it can be seen that the thickness of denture base formed out of wax is increasing by the pressure while injecting resin. This research is to decide and test on the thickness increasing of Valplast by injecting pressure and the hypothesis upon that and is to prepare the basis estimating the increasing extent of thickness of denture base on the basis of the test result. In this test, it is expected occlusal malposition & thickness increasing of denture base by injecting pressure according to 4 kinds of test data which are to select 3 types of sprue method settling the forefront position at which the test material of fixed standard can be invested and to position the test material at the rearmost part keeping the minimum distance to set sprue. For 4 kinds of injecting test by investment position & sprue type, 20 test materials, 5 for each test were produced and a pressure of 1,180Kg was given with automatic injector of air cylinder type. The results are as follows: 1. For the amount of thickness increasing of denture base by investment position, the thickness of front investment is less increasing than the one of rear investment. 2. For the amount of thickness increasing of denture base by sprue type, the thickness of straight decompression sprue type which can absorb the injecting pressure after injecting polyamide base resin is less increasing than the other sprue types.

The hydrodynamic theory of dentin sensitivity states that movement of tubular contents or tubular fluid, in either direction of dentinal tubule, causes dentin sensitivity. A corollary of that theory is that anything that can decrease dentinal fluid movement or dentin permeability should decrease dentin sensitivity. A wide variety of physicochemical methods have been used to reduce the permeability and sensitivity of exposed dentin. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of 4 kinds of clinical desensitizing agents(2% NaF, 30% Potassium oxalate, MS Coat$^{(R)}$, Tubulitec system$^{(R)}$) to reduce the rate of fluid flow through dentin in vitro. Sixty coronal dentin discs, 1mm in thickness, were prepared from extracted third molars, free from decay and wear. Dentin discs were treated with 3% EDTA(Tubulicid Plus$^{(R)}$(Dental Therapeutics AB, Sweden)) to remove the smear layer and debris occluding the tubular orifices. After placing the discs in a split chamber device, the rate at which physiologic saline solution could filter across dentin under 150cm $H_2O$ hydrostatic pressure was measured. The occlusal side of the discs were then treated with MS Coat$^{(R)}$, 2% NaF, Tubulitec system$^{(R)}$, and 30% Potassium oxalate, and the filter ratio of the saline solution was measured again. The following conclusions were drawn : 1. Hydraulic conductance which was measured after the application of desensitizing agents was decreased in all the groups(p<0.05). 2. % change of hydraulic conductance was compared but no significant difference was found among the four desensitizing agents(p>0.05). 2% NaF, 30% Potassium oxalate, MS Coat$^{(R)}$ and Tubulitec system$^{(R)}$ decreased the permeability of dentin. It is considered that above four agents can be used in treating the hypersensitive teeth.

연구목적: 변연적합도는 보철수복물의 성공을 좌우하는 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. McLean과 von Fraunhofer등에 의하면 120 ${\mu}m$ 이하를 임상적으로 허용할 수 있다고 했는데, 이를 넘는 정확하지 않은 변연은 지각과민을 일으키거나 이차 우식을 일으키고, 치태 축적을 용이하게 하여 보철물의 수명을 단축시키게 된다. 이에 최근에 우리나라에 소개되어 임상적으로 사용되고 있는 CAD-CAM 전부도재 수복물 중 $LAVA^{(R)}$ 시스템 (3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN)과 $EVEREST^{(R)}$ 시스템 (KaVo Dental GmbH, Biberach, Germany)으로 제작한 지르코니아 전부 도재관들이 도재전장 금속주조 수복물과 비교해 보아 코핑 상태일 때와 도재축성 후 각각 변연적합도의 차이가 있는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 재료와 방법: 상악 제1소구치 덴티폼 치아를 high speed diamond bur 로 교합면 2.0 mm, 순설면 1.0 mm, 그리고 변연은 chamfer margin을 6도 측면 경사 절삭 기계로 균일하게 제작해서 이를 인상 채득하여 금속 지대치를 제작하였다. 이를 덴티폼 모형상에 장착한 후 전악인상을 채득하여 $LAVA^{(R)}$ 수복물 코핑, $EVEREST^{(R)}$ 수복물 코핑, 그리고 도재전장 금속주조 수복물 코핑을 각각 8개씩 제작하였다. 이들 코핑을 염색제를 섞은 Fit-checker $II^{(R)}$ (GC Cor., Tokyo, Japan)를 이용하여 금속 지대치에 접합시킨 뒤, $Microhiscope^{(R)}$ system (HIROX KH-1000 ING Plus, Seoul, Korea)을 이용하여 300배율로 관찰하면서 변연 간격을 ${\mu}m$단위로 측정하였다. 도재축성 후에도 마찬가지 방법으로 모든 수복물의 변연간격을 측정하여 통계 처리를 하였다. 결과: 코핑 상태에서의 평균 변연간격 값은 $EVEREST^{(R)}$ 에서 $52.00{\pm}11.94\;{\mu}m$, $LAVA^{(R)}$ 는 $ 56.97{\pm}10.00\;{\mu}m$, 그리고 도재 전장 금속 주조 수복물은 $97.38{\pm}18.54\;{\mu}m$를 보였고, 도재축성 후에 평균 변연 간격값은 $EVEREST^{(R)}$ 는 $61.69{\pm}19.33\;{\mu}m$, $LAVA^{(R)}$ 는 $70.81{\pm}12.99\;{\mu}m$, 그리고 도재 전장 금속 주조 수복물은 $115.25{\pm}23.86\;{\mu}m$를 보였다. 결론: 1. $LAVA^{(R)}$ 와 $EVEREST^{(R)}$ 수복물은 도재 전장 금속 주조 수복물과 비교하여 각각 코핑상태일 때와 도재 축성 후 모두 유의성 있는 (P < .05) 차이를 보이는 우수한 변연 적합도를 나타내었다. 2. $LAVA^{(R)}$ 와 $EVEREST^{(R)}$ 수복물 간의 평균 변연 간격 비교에서 코핑 상태일 때와 도재 축성 후에 모두 유의성 있는 차이는 없었다 (P > .05). 3. $LAVA^{(R)}$과 $EVEREST^{(R)}$ 그리고 PFM 은 각각 코어 상태일 때와 비교하여 도재 축성 후 변연 간격에서 약간 증가되었으나 유의성 있는 차이를 보이지는 않았다 (P > .05).
