This study relates to the effect of forming time of injection path on the total process. The whole process can be divided into build process of forming path of injection and after treatment process. The total time required for the whole process could be reduced by reducing the forming time of injection path using SLC file to correct the problems of STL file that is the basic file format for high speed molding devices. First of all, I verify the forming time of injection path according to the conditions of STL file during the formation of injection path. And I verify problems using STL file during formation of injection path. And then I tried to solve problems of STL file by comparing between the formation time of injection path and the existing method using SLC files.

This paper addresses the correlation between the change of file size and the scanning path build time by the slicing height of STL file. Though the study about STL file has been achieved quite actively scanning path build time using STL file is not investigated so much to be satisfied. The file size depends on the number of polygon created by the slicing height specified. And this number of polygons increases in a regular rate. The correlation between the number of polygons and the scanning path build time is examined and verified.

This paper is compared the build time of scanning path as to laminate height of the SLC and STL file. The STL file improve the surface roughness according to slicing height. But it have the fault spending long time to the creation of scanning path by being lower slicing height. So we proposed the SLC file to improve this fault. Therefore this paper showed to the build time of scanning path by the increase of peace using the jewellery model.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the screw-in effect and torque generation depending on the size of glide path during root canal preparation. Materials and Methods: Forty Endo-Training Blocks (REF A 0177, Dentsply Maillefer) were used. They were divided into 4 groups. For groups 1, 2, 3, and 4, the glide path was established with ISO #13 Path File (Dentsply Maillefer), #15 NiTi K-file NITIFLEX (Dentsply Maillefer), modified #16 Path File (equivalent to #18), and #20 NiTi K-file NITIFLEX, respectively. The screw-in force and resultant torque were measured using a custom-made experimental apparatus while canals were instrumented with ProTaper S1 (Dentsply Maillefer) at a constant speed of 300 rpm with an automated pecking motion. A statistical analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance and the Duncan post hoc comparison test. Results: Group 4 showed lowest screw-in effect ($2.796{\pm}0.134$) among the groups (p < 0.05). Torque was inversely proportional to the glide path of each group. In #20 glide path group, the screw-in effect and torque decreased at the last 1 mm from the apical terminus. However, in the other groups, the decrease of the screw-in effect and torque did not occur in the last 1 mm from the apical terminus. Conclusions: The establishment of a larger glide path before NiTi rotary instrumentation appears to be appropriate for safely shaping the canal. It is recommended to establish #20 glide path with NiTi file when using ProTaper NiTi rotary instruments system safely.

본 실험은 왕복 회전 운동을 하는 단일 파일 시스템으로서 Reciproc과 WaveOne을 이용하였으며 glide path를 형성했을 때와 안 했을 때의 근관의 중심 변위율과 만곡도의 감소를 비교하여 새로운 단일 파일 시스템에서 glide path가 근관 성형 후 근관의 형태에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 총 40개의 모형 근관에 메틸렌블루 용액을 주입한 후 근관성형 전 이미지를 스캔 하였다. 네 개의 그룹으로 나누어졌으며 그룹 1은 PathFile (Dentsply Maillefer) #1, 2, 3 사용 후 R25 크기의 Reciproc 파일(VDW)을 사용하여 근관 성형하였다. 그룹 2는 PathFile 사용 없이 R25 크기의 Reciproc 파일을 사용하여 근관 성형하였다. 그룹 3은 PathFile #1, 2, 3 사용 후 Primary 크기의 WaveOne 파일 (Dentsply Maillerfer)을 이용하여 근관 성형하였다. 그룹 4는 PathFile 사용 없이 WaveOne 파일을 이용하여 근관 성형하였다. 파일은 모두 21 mm 길이를 사용했다. 각각의 파일을 위한 전기 모터로 Reciproc 파일은 VDW.SILVER motor (VDW), WaveOne 파일은 Waveone endo motor (Dentsply Maillefer)와 PathFile은 X-SMART (Dentsply Maillefer)를 사용하였다. 근관 성형을 마친 모형 근관을 다시 이미지 스캔 하였다. 성형 전, 후의 이미지를 Adobe Photoshop CS 3 (Adobe Systems Incorporated)을 이용하여 중첩하여 평가하였다. 중심 변위율은 Calhoun과 Montgomery에 의해 제안된 다음 공식을 사용하여 계산되었다:CR=|X1-X2|/Y. 실험 결과 근관의 만곡도가 감소하는 치근단 1, 2 mm level에서는 glide path의 형성에 따른 근관의 중심 변화율의 통계학적 유의성이 보이지 않았다. 근관 만곡 부위인 치근단 3, 4, 5 mm level에서는 glide path를 부여한 것이 통계학적으로 유의성 있게 낮은 중심 변위율을 보였다. 치근단 1 mm level에서는 Reciproc 파일이 유의성 있게 낮은 중심 변위율을 보였고, 치근단 1, 6 mm level을 제외한 모든 level에서 WaveOne 파일이 유의성 있게 낮은 중심 변위율을 보였다. 치근단 6 mm level에서는 Reciproc과 WaveOne의 차이는 관찰할 수 없었고 glide path를 형성한 그룹이 형성하지 않은 그룹에 비해 유의성 있게 낮은 중심 변위율을 보였다. 본 실험을 통해 만곡된 근관에서 근관 성형 전 glide path의 형성은 근관의 원래 형태를 유지하는데 필수적이며, 만곡된 근관에서는 WaveOne 파일 시스템의 선택이 근관의 원래 형태를 유지하는데 더 적절할 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives: Glide path preparation is recommended to reduce torsional failure of nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments and to prevent root canal transportation. This study evaluated whether the repetitive insertions of G-files to the working length maintain the apical size as well as provide sufficient lumen as a glide path for subsequent instrumentation. Materials and Methods: The G-file system (Micro-Mega) composed of G1 and G2 files for glide path preparation was used with the J-shaped, simulated resin canals. After inserting a G1 file twice, a G2 file was inserted to the working length 1, 4, 7, or 10 times for four each experimental group, respectively (n = 10). Then the canals were cleaned by copious irrigation, and lubricated with a separating gel medium. Canal replicas were made using silicone impression material, and the diameter of the replicas was measured at working length (D0) and 1 mm level (D1) under a scanning electron microscope. Data was analysed by one-way ANOVA and post-hoc tests (p = 0.05). Results: The diameter at D0 level did not show any significant difference between the 1, 2, 4, and 10 times of repetitive pecking insertions of G2 files at working length. However, 10 times of pecking motion with G2 file resulted in significantly larger canal diameter at D1 (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Under the limitations of this study, the repetitive insertion of a G2 file up to 10 times at working length created an adequate lumen for subsequent apical shaping with other rotary files bigger than International Organization for Standardization (ISO) size 20, without apical transportation at D0 level.

Objectives: This preliminary study compared the effects of glide path establishing instruments prior to substantial root canal preparation. Materials and Methods: Glide path was established by enlargement of the 2nd mesiobuccal root canal of Dentalike by using three kinds of glide path preparation nickel-titanium file; PathFile, One G and ProGlider. The pre- and post-instrumented Dentalikes were weighed in the resolution of 1 / 10mg. In addition, after glide path preparation, torque generated during shaping using the WavoOne file was measured. The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc test at a significance level of 95%. Results: The ProGlider had the significantly larger amount of reduced weight than other instrument groups (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between group of glide path preparation with ProGlider and without glide path preparation in maximum torque and total stress generation during the shaping with WaveOne. Conclusions: Glide path preparation instruments may have different efficiency according to their geometries. The Dentalike artificial teeth were revealed to have discrepancies in the size of root canals by microCT examination. It is impossible to make a meaningful judgment of the results due to the reliability or resolution problem of the root canal size of the artificial tooth selected as the standardized tooth.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of glide path preparation with PathFile and ProGlider nickel-titanium (NiTi) files on the cyclic fatigue resistance of WaveOne NiTi files. Materials and Methods: Forty-four WaveOne Primary files were used and divided into four groups (n = 11). In the first group (0 WaveOne), the WaveOne Primary files served as a control group and were not used on acrylic blocks. In the 1 WaveOne Group, acrylic blocks were prepared using only WaveOne Primary files, and in the PF+WaveOne group and PG+WaveOne groups, acrylic blocks were first prepared with PathFile or ProGlider NiTi files, respectively, followed by the use of WaveOne Primary files. All the WaveOne Primary files were then subjected to cyclic fatigue testing. The number of cycles to failure was calculated and the data were statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Tukey honest significant difference multiple-comparison test at a 5% significance level. Results: The highest number of cycles to failure was found in the control group, and the lowest numbers were found in the 1 WaveOne group and the PF+WaveOne group. Significant differences were found among the 1 WaveOne, PF+WaveOne, and control groups (p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were found between the PG+WaveOne group and the other three groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Glide path preparation with NiTi rotary files did not affect the cyclic fatigue resistance of WaveOne Primary files used on acrylic blocks.

Objectives: This study investigated the influence of glide path size and operating kinetics on the time to reach the working length and the fracture resistance of Twisted File (TF) and Endostar E3 files. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 mandibular single-rooted premolars were selected. Two methods of kinetic motion (TF adaptive and continuous rotary motion) and file systems (TF and Endostar E3) were employed. The files were used in root canals prepared to apical glide path sizes of 15, 20, and 25. The time taken to reach the working length and the number of canals used before the instrument deformed or fractured were noted. Fractured instruments were examined with scanning electron microscopy. Results: The TF system took significantly more time to reach the working length than the Endostar E3 system. Both systems required significantly more time to reach the working length at the size 15 glide path than at sizes 20 and 25. A greater number of TFs than Endostar E3 files exhibited deformation, and a higher incidence of instrument deformation was observed in adaptive than in continuous rotary motion; more deformation was also observed with the size 15 glide path. One TF was fractured while undergoing adaptive motion. Conclusions: No significant difference was observed between continuous rotary and adaptive motion. The TF system and adaptive motion were associated with a higher incidence of deformation and fracture. Apical glide path sizes of 20 and 25 required significantly less time to reach the working length than size 15.

성공적인 근관치료를 위하여 원래 근관 형태를 따르는 근관 성형 과정이 중요하다. 그러나 대부분의 근관은 만곡되어 있고, 근관 성형 기구는 직선의 금속을 기본으로 만들어지기 때문에 근관 성형 후 만곡 근관이 원래 근관 형태를 벗어나는 오류가 나타날 수 있다. 이런 오류들로 인하여 근관 치료가 실패할 수 있으므로 근관 성형시 원래 만곡형태를 유지할 수 있는 다양한 기술과 방법들이 소개되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 만곡 근관 형태의 레진 모형을 이용하여 기구의 형태와 사용방법이 다른 세 가지 Ni-Ti 파일을 사용하여 Ni-Ti 파일 종류에 따른 만곡 근관에 대한 성형 후 형태 유지능을 비교하는 것이다. 직경과 경사도가 ISO 15, 0.02인 30개의 레진모형을 사용하였다. 그룹 1은 Profile을 이용하여 #20/.06까지 근관 성형하였고, 그룹 2는 Mtwo를 이용하여 #35/.04까지 근관 성형하였으며, 그룹 3은 PathFile을 이용하여 glide path를 만들어준 다음 WaveOne 파일 중 Primary을 사용하여 근관 성형하였다. 기구 사용 전과 후의 레진모형을 스캔하여 디지털 이미지로 만들었다. 각 이미지를 중첩시킨 다음 Matlab r2010b 소프트웨어를 이용하여 곡률반경의 비(CRr)를 계산하였다. 이를 바탕으로 Ni-Ti file 간 성형 후 형태 유지능을 비교하기 위하여 1-way ANOVA를 이용하여 세 그룹의 CRr의 차이에 대한 유의성 검정을 시행하였다.(P<.05) 또한 continuous rotary system과 single file system간의 형태 유지능을 비교하기 위하여 independent t-test를 이용하였다.(P<.05) 곡률반경의 비(CRr)를 이용하여 Ni-Ti 파일 종류에 따른 만곡 근관의 형태 유지능을 비교한 결과 Ni-Ti file 간에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다.(P<0.05) ProFile과 WaveOne은 Mtwo에 비해서 만곡 근관에서의 형태 유지능이 우수하게 나타났다.Ni-Ti 기구 사용 방법에 따른 만곡 근관 형태 유지능을 비교한 결과 continuous rotary system과 single file system 간에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다.(P>0.05) 본 연구결과에 따르면, ProFile과 WaveOne은 Mtwo에 비하여 만곡 근관에서의 형태 유지능이 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났으므로, ProFile과 WaveOne이 만곡근관에 대한 형태 유지능이 우수하다고 할 수 있다. 만곡근관에서의 형태 유지능에 있어서 continuous rotary system과 single file system은 만곡근관에서의 형태 유지능에 차이가 없다.
