PURPOSE. Zirconia materials have been used for implant-retained restorations, but the stress distribution of zirconia is not entirely clear. The aim of this study is to evaluate the stress distribution and risky areas caused by the different design of zirconia restorations on the atrophic bone of the posterior maxilla. MATERIALS AND METHODS. An edentulous D4-type bone model was prepared from radiography of an atrophic posterior maxilla. Monolithic zirconia and zirconia-fused porcelain implant-retained restorations were designed as splinted or non-splinted. 300-N occlusal forces were applied obliquely. Stress analyses were performed using a 3D FEA program. RESULTS. According to stress analysis, the bone between the 1) molar implant and the 2) premolar in the non-splinted monolithic zirconia restoration model was stated as the riskiest area. Similarly, the maximum von Mises stress value was detected on the bone of the non-splinted monolithic zirconia models. CONCLUSION. Splinting of implant-retained restorations can be more critical for monolithic zirconia than zirconia fused to porcelain for the longevity of the bone.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate appropriate contrast reference values (CRVs) by comparing the contrast in phantom and clinical images. Materials and Methods: Phantom contrast was measured using two methods: (1) counting the number of visible pits of different depths in an aluminum plate, and (2) obtaining the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) for 5 tissue-equivalent materials (porcelain, aluminum, polytetrafluoroethylene [PTFE], polyoxymethylene [POM], and polymethylmethacrylate [PMMA]). Four panoramic radiographs of the contrast phantom, embedded in the 4 different regions of the arch-form stand, and 1 real skull phantom image were obtained, post-processed, and compared. The clinical image quality evaluation chart was used to obtain the cut-off values of the phantom CRV corresponding to the criterion of being adequate for diagnosis. Results: The CRVs were obtained using 4 aluminum pits in the incisor and premolar region, 5 aluminum pits in the molar region, and 2 aluminum pits in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) region. The CRVs obtained based on the CNR measured in the anterior region were: porcelain, 13.95; aluminum, 9.68; PTFE, 6.71; and POM, 1.79. The corresponding values in the premolar region were: porcelain, 14.22; aluminum, 8.82; PTFE, 5.95; and POM, 2.30. In the molar region, the following values were obtained: porcelain, 7.40; aluminum, 3.68; PTFE, 1.27; and POM, - 0.18. The CRVs for the TMJ region were: porcelain, 3.60; aluminum, 2.04; PTFE, 0.48; and POM, - 0.43. Conclusion: CRVs were determined for each part of the jaw using the CNR value and the number of pits observed in phantom images.

In this study, we measured the thermally and chemically induced residual stresses on glaze using the photoelastic method. Porcelain with thermally induced residual stress showed compressive stress of 49 MPa for thermal expansion mismatch and a locally fluctuated stress field over the glaze layer due to compensation of compressive stresses around pores. In the case of chemically strengthened porcelain, the compressive stress on the glaze was 151 MPa which was around 3 times higher than the stress on thermally strengthened glaze. The trend of fracture strength of thermally and chemically strengthened porcelains was coincident with that of the residual stress of porcelains.

The microstructure, mechanical properties and melting range of Ni-Cr-Mo based alloys were investigated to develop Be-free Ni-Cr-Mo base dental alloys for Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Firing(PFM). All as-cast alloys showed dendritic structure. Rockwell hardness of 20Cr7Mo was increased with addition of Si and Ti. On the contrary, it was decreased with addition of Co. The duplex alloying elemental addition such as 3Co + xTi, 2Si + xCo and 2Si + xTi to 20Cr7Mo resulted in much increase of hardness. Rockwell hardness and compressive strength for 20Cr3CoSiTi or 17Cr6CoSiTi alloy that add Si-Ti had similar values compared to the commercial alloys. Melting range for 20Cr3CoSiTi and 17Cr6CoSiTi alloy that add Si-Ti showed similar or lower than commercial alloys. In conclusion, 20Cr3CoSiTi and 17Cr6CoSiTi alloys can be applied for commercial use.

본 연구에서는 도자기 제조용 원료(소지)에 사용되는 점토 광물의 물성 및 이로부터 제조된 소지의 품질을 조사하였다. 국내시장에 유통되고 있는 점토광물 중 중국에서 수입된 점토 (블랙점토, 홍점토, 백점토)와 충남 천안, 경남 산청에서 생산된 천안점토, 오부점토를 선택하여 비교 평가하였다. 화학분석 결과, 카올리나이트 등 1차 점토 외에 불순물로 CaO, K₂O, Na₂O을 포함하는 장석류(카리장석, 소다장석, 회장석)와 규석(SiO₂)이 포함되어 있으며 중국산 점토보다 국내 점토가 규석 및 장석질이 더 많이 함유되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 도자기의 색상을 좌우하는 철분(Fe₂O₃)의 함량에 대해서는 천안점토, 오부점토, 홍점토의 경우 5 % 이상으로 붉은 색상을 띄며 중국산 (블랙점토, 백점토)에 비하여 철분 함량이 더 높음을 알 수 있다. X-선 결정상 분석을 통하여 원료광물에 존재하는 결정상의 종류를 분석한 결과, 원료 물질 모두 카올리나이트와 할로이사이트 등 1차점토와 함께 쿼츠(quartz)와 장석 등이 주요 결정상(main phase)으로 확인되었다. 이러한 점토광물을 원료로 하여 도자기용 소지를 제조하여 소결 후 물성을 평가하였다. 소성 후 수축률은 백자A급 < 백자B급 < 연분청 < 진분청 < 청자 소지 순으로 나타났으며 환원소성의 경우, 산화소성에 비하여 수축률이 높으며 이는 흡수율 결과와 일치하였다. 1250℃에서 환원소성한 경우, 매우 낮은 흡수율로 자화가 충분히 진행됨을 알 수 있다. 백자소지를 1200℃, 1250℃ 산화분위기에서 소성한 소성체가 환원소성한 소성체보다 백색도가 높으며, 백색도의 인자인 L^* 값이 86~95 %로 환원소성시 81~93 % 보다 높은 것을 알 수 있다. 철분 함량이 높은 청자소지나 분청소지의 경우, 환원분위기에서 소성한 소성체가 산화소성한 소성체보다 백색도가 높으며 a^*, b^* 값이 작은 양상을 확인할 수 있으며, 이는 Fe₂O₃ 산화물의 환원효과에 의한 것으로 판단된다.

Statement of problem: Titanium is well known as a proper metal for the dental restorations, because it has an excellent biocompatibility, resistance to corrosion, and mechanical property. However, adhesion between titanium and dental porcelains is related to the diffusion of oxygen to the reaction layers formed on cast-titanium surfaces during porcelain firing and those oxidized layers make the adhesion difficult to be formed. Many studies using mechanical, chemical and physical methods to enhance the titanium-ceramic adhesion have been actively performed. Purpose: This study meant to comparatively analyse the adhesion characteristics depending on different titanium surface coatings after coating the casts and wrought titanium surfaces with Au and TiN. Material and method: In this study, the titanium specimens (CP-Ti, Grade 2, Kobe still Co. Japan) were categorized into cast and wrought titanium. The wrought titanium was cast by using the MgO-based investment(Selevest CB, Selec). The cast and wrought titanium were treated with Au coating($ParaOne^{(R)}$., Gold Ion Sputter, Model PS-1200) and TiN coating(ATEC system, Korea) and the ultra low fusing dental porcelain was fused and fired onto the samples. Biaxial flection test was done on the fired samples and the porcelain was separated. The adhesion characteristics of porcelain and titanium after firing and the specimen surfaces before and after the porcelain fracture test were observed with SEM. The atomic percent of Si on all sample surfaces was comparatively analysed by EDS. In addition, the constituents of specimen surface layers after the porcelain fracture and the formed compound were evaluated by X-ray diffraction diagnosis. Result: The results of this study were obtained as follows : 1. The surface characteristics of cast and wrought titanium after surface treatment(Au, TiN, $Al_2O_3$ sandblasting) were similar and each cast and wrought titanium showed similar bonding characteristics. 2. Before and after the biaxial flection test, the highest atomic weight change of Si component was found in $Al_2O_3$ sandblasted wrought titanium(28.6at.% $\rightarrow$ 8.3at.%). On the other hand, the least change was seen in Au-Pd-In alloy(24.5at.% $\rightarrow$ 9.1at.%). 3. Much amount of Si components was uniformly distributed in Au and TiN coated titanium, but less amount of Si's was unevenly dispersed on Al2O3 sandblasting surfaces. 4. In X-ray diffraction diagnosis after porcelain debonding, we could see $Au_2Ti$ compound and TiN coating layers on Au and TiN coated surfaces and $TiO_2$, typical oxide of titanium, on all titanium surfaces. 5. Debonding of porcelain on cast and wrought titanium surface after the biaxial flection is considered as a result of adhesion deterioration between coating layers and titanium surfaces. We found that there are both adhesive failure and cohesive failure at the same time. Conclusion: These results showed that the titanium-ceramic adhesion could be improved by coating cast and wrought titanium surfaces with Au and TiN when making porcelain fused to metal crowns. In order to use porcelain fused to titanium clinically, it is considered that coating technique to enhance the bonding strength between coating kKlayers and titanium surfaces should be developed first.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to identify the effects of three aesthetic restorative materials on the wear between tooth and restoration by a pin-on-disk manner. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Six aesthetic restorative materials were used to prepare disk specimens for wear test, which were Lava Zirconia as zirconia group, Vintage MP and Cerabien ZR as veneering porcelain group, Gradia Direct microhybrid composite containing prepolymerized fillers, Filtek Z250 microhybrid composite containing zirconia glass and colloidal silica particles, and Filtek Z350 nanocomposite as composite resin group. Vertical loss of the worn cusp, change of the surface roughness of the restoration materials, and the surface topography were investigated after wear test under 9.8-N contact load. RESULTS. The porcelain groups (Vintage MP and Cerabien ZR) caused the largest vertical loss of teeth when compared with those of the composite resin and zirconia groups, and Filtek Z250 microhybrid composite results in the second-largest vertical loss of teeth. The surface of Filtek Z350 nanocomposite was deeply worn out, but visible wear on the surface of the zirconia and Gradia Direct microhybrid composite was not observed. When the zirconia surface was roughened by sand-blasting, vertical loss of teeth considerably increased when compared with that in the case of fine polished zirconia. CONCLUSION. It was identified that microhybrid composite resin containing a prepolymerized filler and zirconia with reduced surface roughness by polishing were the most desirable restorative materials among the tested materials to prevent the two-body wear between aesthetic restorative material and tooth.

치과의사가 수복재료를 선택하고 환자에게 추천할 때는 수복할 치아 위치, 결손 정도, 환자의 심미적 요구도, 저작력, 나이, 경제적 여건 등 여러 가지의 요인을 고려한다. 그렇지만, 수복재료를 선택할 때의 일차적인 기준은 구강 내에서 기능 시 작용하는 교합력을 최우선으로 고려해야 한다. 미국 국립보건원(NIH) 지원으로 조사된 연구 결과에 의하면, 전치부 수복재료로서는 리튬 디실리케이트계 글라스-세라믹이 54%, layered zirconia가 17%, 루사이트 강화 글라스-세라믹이 13% 순을 보여, 전치부 수복재료로서 리튬 디실리케이트계 글라스-세라믹이 가장 많이 사용었다. 또한 구치부 수복재료로서는 단일구조 지르코니아가 32%, 금속-세라믹이 31%, 리튬 디실리케이트계 글라스-세라믹이 21% 순을 나타냈다. 세라믹 수복 재료의 특성을 살펴보면, 단일구조 지르코니아는 강도는 높지만 명도가 높고 저온열화로 인한 강도 저하가 일어날 수 있다. layered zirconia는 심미성은 우수하지만 강도가 낮은 비니어 세라믹의 칩핑과 박리가 문제가 되고 있다. 리튬 디실리케이트계 글라스-세라믹은 심미성은 우수하지만 지르코니아에 비해 강도가 낮으므로 구치부에 적용 시 파절이 일어날 위험성이 있다. 루사이트계 글라스-세라믹은 심미성은 우수하지만 기본적으로 강도가 낮기 때문에 전치부에 한정하여 적용한다. 세라믹 크라운이 구치부 교합력에 저항하기 위해서는 350 MPa 이상의 굴곡강도를 가져야 한다. 리튬 디실리케이트계 글라스-세라믹은 광투과성이 양호한 심미성이 있는 재료이므로 비니어 없이 전치부에 적용할 수 있고, 굴곡강도가 400 MPa 이상이므로 구치부 교합력에 저항할 수 있고, HF에 의한 산부식과 실란(silane) 처리가 가능하므로 레진과 강한 결합력을 얻을 수 있고, 또한 포세린에 비해 대합치의 마모가 적다. 이러한 점들을 고려하면 리튬 디실리케이트계 글라스-세라믹 재료는 전구치부의 단일치 수복에 적합한 성질을 갖고 있음을 알수 있다. 그렇지만 그의 임상 응용이 더욱 증가하기 위해서는 이들 재료에 대한 보다 많은 연구와 이해가 필요하리라고 생각된다.

금속-세라믹용 수복물에서 하부 구조물 제작에 사용되는 합금 중 하나인 Pd-Cu-Ga-Zn계 합금은 비교적 최근에 개발된 합금인 이유로 인해 도재 용착을 위한 소성 과정을 거치면서 합금에서 일어날 수 있는 경도 변화가 아직 밝혀지지 않았다. 그러나 이와 조성이 유사한 Pd-Cu-Ga-In-Au계 금속-세라믹용 합금의 경우 모의 소성 과정에서 경도가 하강한 것으로 밝혀져 있다. 따라서 Pd-Cu-Ga-Zn계 합금 또한 소성 과정 중에 합금의 연화가 일어날 것으로 예상되었으며 금속-세라믹용 Pd-Cu-Ga-Zn계 합금의 모의 소성 시 냉각 속도가 석출 경화에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 냉각 속도가 빠른 경우(Stage 0) 매 소성 단계에서 합금의 경도가 상승하였고, 최종 경도 값도 높게 유지되었다. 냉각 속도가 느린 경우(Stage 3) 소성 첫 단계에서는 경도가 가장 높았지만, 소성 완료 후 합금의 최종 경도는 더 낮아졌다. 매 소성 단계에서 Stage 0으로 냉각한 시편에서 소성 과정 동안 경도가 상승한 원인은 석출 경화에 기인하였다. 주조 후 매 소성 단계에서 Stage 3의 냉각 속도로 냉각한 시편에서 소성 과정 동안 경도가 하강한 원인은 기지와 판상형 석출물 내부에 생성된 점 모양의 석출물의 조대화에 기인하였다. 기지와 판상형 석출물은 CsCl-type의 $Pd_2(Cu,Ga,Zn)$ 상이며, 입자형 구조는 Cu, Ga, Zn을 고용한 면심입방(face-centered cubic) 구조의 Pd-rich ${\alpha}$ 상이었다. $1,010^{\circ}C$에서 산화처리 한 시편을 더 낮은 온도에서 여러 단계로 소성함에 따라 Pd-rich ${\alpha}$ 상으로 이루어진 입자에 고용되어 있던 Cu, Ga, Zn이 Pd와 함께 석출되어 Pd-rich ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ 입자와 $Pd_2(Cu,Ga,Zn)$으로 이루어진 ${\beta}^{\prime}$ 석출 상으로 상 분리가 진행되었다. 이상으로부터 Pd-Cu-Ga-Zn계 합금은 모의 소성 시 냉각 속도를 빠르게 함으로써 최종 보철물의 내구성을 향상시킬 수 있다고 생각되었다.

PURPOSE. This study was conducted to evaluate clinical validity of a zirconia full-coverage crown by comparing zirconia's wear capacity over antagonistic teeth with that of feldspathic dental porcelain. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The subject groups were divided into three groups: the polished feldspathic dental porcelain group (Group 1), the polished zirconia group (Group 2), and the polished zirconia with glazing group (Group 3). Twenty specimens were prepared from each group. Each procedure such as plasticity, condensation, and glazing was conducted according to the manufacturer's manual. A wear test was conducted with 240,000 chewing cycles using a dual-axis chewing simulator. The degree of wear of the antagonistic teeth was calculated by measuring the volume loss using a three-dimensional profiling system and ANSUR 3D software. The statistical significance of the measured degree of wear was tested with a significant level of 5% using one-way ANOVA and the Tukey test. RESULTS. The degrees of wear of the antagonistic teeth were $0.119{\pm}0.059\;mm^3$ in Group 1, $0.078{\pm}0.063\;mm^3$ in Group 3, and $0.031{\pm}0.033\;mm^3$ in Group 2. Statistical significance was found between Group 1 and Groups 2 and between Group 2 and 3, whereas no statistical significance was found between Group 1 and Group 3. CONCLUSION. Despite the limitations of this study on the evaluation of antagonistic teeth wear, the degree of antagonistic tooth wear was less in zirconia than feldspathic dental porcelain, representing that the zirconia may be more beneficial in terms of antagonistic tooth wear.
