When cavity floor is near the pulp, polymerization of light-activated restorations results in temperature increase. This temperature increase cause by both the exothermic reaction process and the energy absorbed during irradiation. Therefore instating base is required. Most frequently used insulating base is glass ionmer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate intrapulpal temperature changes of glass ionomer according to various curing intensity and curing time. Caries and restoration-free mandibular molars extracted within three months were prepared Class I cavity of 3$\times$6mm with high speed handpiece. 1mm depth of dentin was evaluated with micrometer in mesial and distal pulp horns. Pulp chambers were filled with 37.0$\pm$0.1$^{\circ}C$ water to CEJ. Chromium-alumina thermocouple was placed in pulp horn for evaluating of temperature changes. glass ionomer material was placed in 2mm. total curing time was 40s: continuous 40s, intermittent 20s, intermittent 10s. Glass ionomer material was cured with 300mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 550mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ light curing unit. The results were as follows : 1. Temperature in pulp increased as curing unit power is increased. 2. Temperature in pulp more increased continuous emission than intermittent emission.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate temperature change occurred in enamel, dentin and pulp due to the heat from cavity prepration with laser. We made three models had different cavity depth: cavity depth of model A was 3.52mm, model B was 2.32mm, model C was 1.16mm. We irradiated cavity base with thermal capacity of $30J,100J,300J/cm^2s$ during few seconds and studied the change of temperature in tooth during 10 seconds, and estimated change of thermal capacity by different irradiated site and exposure time. At $300J/cm^2$ irradiation for 2 seconds, the temperature of irradiated surface was elevated fast according to irradiated thermal energy during 1 second. In proportion to continuous exposure time, temperature elevated slowly. The surface temperature was $1370^{\circ}C$. After discontinue of thermal irradiation, the heat of irradiated surface was diffused in dentin and pulp and the greatest temperature was made. The greatest temperature was disappeared within 10 seconds The greatest temperature of the inner part of model brought about very severe change by different depth. Temperature in pulp was raised by the greater irradiated energy density and exposure time.

Polymerization of light-activated restorations results in temperature increase caused by both the exothermic reaction process and the energy absorbed during irradiation. Within composite resin, temperature increases up to 2$0^{\circ}C$ or more during polymerization. But, insulation of hard tissue of tooth lowers this temperature increase in pulp. However, many clinicians are concerned about intrapulpal temperature injury. The purpose of this study was to evaluate temperature changes in the pulp according to various restorative materials and bases during curing procedure. Caries and restoration-free mandibular molars extracted within three months were prepared Class I cavity of 3$\times$6mm with high speed handpiece fissure bur. 1mm depth of dentin was evaluated with micrometer in mesial and distal pulp horns. Pulp chambers were filled with 37.0$\pm$0.1$^{\circ}C$ water to CEJ. Chromium-alumina thermocouple was placed in pulp horn below restorative materials for evaluating of temperature changes. This thermocouple was connected to temperature-recording device(Multiplication analyzer MX, 6.000, JAPAN). Temperature changes was evaluated from initial 37.$0^{\circ}C$ after temperature changes to 37.$0^{\circ}C$. Tip of curing unit was placed in the center of prepared cavity separated 1mm from restorative materials. Curing time was 40s. The restorative materials were used with Z 100, Fuji II LC, Compoglass flow and bases were used with Vitrebond, Dycal. Resrorative materials were placed in 2mm. The depth of bases were formed in 1mm and in this upper portion, resin of 2mm depth was placed. This procedure was performed 10 times. The results were as follows. 1. All the groups showed that the temperature in pulp increased as curing time increased 2. The temperature increase of glass ionomer was significantly higher than that of Resin and Compomer during curing procedure (P<0.05). 3. The temperature increase in glass ionomer base was significantly higher than that of Calcium hydroxide base during Resin curing procedure (P<0.05).

Purpose: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the change in the temperature of the adhesive resin in polycrystalline ceramic brackets irradiated using a diode laser at different irradiation energy levels and times. Materials and Methods: For the measurement of the temperature of the adhesive resin, it was applied at the base of the ceramic bracket, a thermocouple was placed at the center of the base surface, the bracket was placed on prepared resin specimens for light curing, and a laser was irradiated to the center of the bracket slot at 5, 7, and 10 W. For the measurement of the temperatures of the enamel under the bracket and pulp cavity, extracted premolar was fixed to a prepared mold and the ceramic bracket was bonded to the buccal surface of the premolar. The Kruskal-Wallis H test and Friedman test were used for statistical analysis. Result: At 5 W, the temperature of the adhesive resin did not reach the resin softening temperature of 200℃ within 30 seconds. At 7 W, it reached 200℃ when the ceramic bracket was irradiated continuously for 28 seconds. At 10 W, it reached 200℃ when the ceramic bracket was irradiated continuously for 15 seconds. During laser irradiation, the temperature of the enamel under the bracket increased by over 5℃ within 15 seconds. Conclusion: The use of diode laser irradiation for bracket debonding should be carefully considered because the pulp cavity temperature increases by over 5℃ within the irradiation time for resin thermal softening.

Pulpal temperature is changed in response for various conditions which were mechanical, thermal, chemical and biological stimuli. This study was performed to determine the pulpal temperature changes which were using air turbine with air-water coolant, water coolant, and conventional dental engine with water coolant and no coolant on 28 canine of dogs. In order to record pulpal temperature, pulp chamber was opened on the labiocervical area of canine. Thermocouple was inserted into pulp chamber and was fixed with filling material(dycal). Changes of pulpal temperature were recorded on the physiograph, which had been standardized temperature degree, through thermocouple to thermistor bridge and carrier preamplifier. The amount of experimental temperature change to that of control was interpreted in the pulpal cavity. The obtained results were as followings: 1. The mean normal temperature was 33.07 centigrade. 2. The temperature was decreased than normal pulpal temperature. It was 12.04 centigrade in reduction by air turbine with air-water coolant, 7.17 centigrade in reduction by air turbine with air coolant, 5.54 centigrade in reduction by conventional engine with water coolant, and 1.26 centigrade in reduction by conventional engine with no coolant. 3. The time for maximal temperature change was 53.3 seconds in reduction by air turbine with air-water coolant, 73.4 seconds in reduction by air turbine with air coolant, 50.9 seconds in reduction by conventional engine with water coolant, and 27.1 seconds in reduction by conventional engine with no coolant. 4.. After reduction was ceased, the recovery time to normal pulp temperature was 287.1 seconds in air turbine with air-water coolant, 189.0 seconds in air turbine with air coolant, 86.9 seconds in conventional engine with water coolant, and 52.9 seconds in conventional engine with no coolant respectively.

본 연구의 목적은 법랑질과 상아질에서 와동을 형성하는 동안 치수벽에서 발생하는 온도변화를 관찰하여 치수 손상 가능성을 평가하고자 하였고 조사반복율의 차이에 따른 영향도 함께 조사하고자 하였다. 발거된 건전 대구치에 access cavity를 형성하고 레진 block에 식립한 다음, 온도측정센서를 레이저가 조사될 치수벽에 위치시켰다. 레이저를 조사하는 동안 분사되는 물이 온도변화에 영향을 주지 않도록 하기 위해 레진을 이용하여 occlusal cap을 만들고 가운데 작은 구멍을 내어 온도측정센서가 들어갈 수 있도록 하였으며 치아의 내부는 생리식염수로 채웠다. 치아표본은 법랑질실험군과 상아질 실험군으로 나누고 각 군당 치아표본수는 5개로 하였다. 상아질군에서는 모든 표본의 상아질 두께를 일정하게 하기 위하여, 고속핸드피스를 이용하여 상아질 두께가 2 mm가 되도록 삭제하여 사용하였다. $3\;mm{\times}2\;mm$의 일정한 면적을 치면에 표시한 다음 와동을 형성하였는데, 법랑질군에서는 상아질 이 노출되는 순간까지, 상아질군에서는 상아질벽이 천공되는 순간까지 온도변화를 조사하였다. 조사방식은 접촉식(contact mode)으로 하였으며 레이저가 한번 조사되는 시간을 3초 이하로 유지하면서 와동을 형성하였다. 300 mJ의 펄스 에너지, 10, 15, 20 Hz의 조사반복율, 1.6 ml/min의 물분사량이 가해지는 조건에서 레이저 조사측의 온도변화를 측정하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 따르면, Er:YAG 레이저 조사시 적절한 양의 물분사가 이루어질 때, 즉 1.6 ml/min의 물분사량과 300 mJ의 펄스에너지의 조건에서 법랑질에서 와동형성시 10, 15, 20 Hz 의 조사반복율 모두에서 온도상승이 미미하여 치수손상을 야기할 만한 온도상승이 이루어 지지 않았고 세 군 간의 유의한 차이도 존재하지 않았다(p=0.358). 상아질에서의 와동형성시에는 조사반복율이 증가할수록 온도상승이 컸지만(p=0.001), 실제 온도상승은 여전히 치수손상을 야기 하지 않는 안전한 범위에 있었다. 결론적으로 적절한 양의 물이 레이저 조사면에 적절하게 분사되기만 하면 법랑질이나 상아질에 서의 와동형성은 안전하게 시행할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

This study was performed to understand the exogenous-water-drop induced thermomechanical effect on the tooth in the free-running Er:YAG laser mode for the proper use of water as a laser energy absorber and coolant in dentistry. The ree-running Er:YAG laser was used in the dental hard tissue ablation study. A Microjet system was employed to dispense precise water drops. Ablation rate, recoil momentum, and temperature rise in the pulp cavity were measured with and without an exogenous water drop on the tooth surface. Exogenous water enhanced ablation rate in the thick tooth in which the ablation rate on the dry surface does not increase linearly but shows plateau. Optimal exogenous water volume was shifted from 2 nl to 4 nl as the laser energy was increased from 48 mJ to 145 mJ. The magnitude of the recoil momentum was increased as the volume of exogenous water increased. The results of this study suggest that we must pay attention to the recoil momentum or recoil pressure study or the optimal and safe usage of water in the dental treatment because these mechanical effects depend on the volume of exogenous water on the tooth surface.

Temperature signaling can be initiated by members of transient receptor potential (thermo-TRP) channels. Hot and cold substances applied to teeth usually elicit pain sensation. Since odontoblasts constitute a well-defined layer between the pulp and the mineralized dentin, being first to encounter thermal stimulation from oral cavity, they may be involved in sensory transduction process, in addition to their primary function as formation of dentin. We investigated whether thermo-TRP channels are expressed in a odontoblast cell line, MDPC-23. The expressions of thermo-TRP channels were examined using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), immunohistochemistry, fluorometric calcium imaging. Analysis of RT-PCR revealed mRNA expression of TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV4 and TRPM8, but no TRPV3, TRPA1. Immunohistochemical approach failed to detect TRPV1 expression. Whereas the application of 4-phorbol-12,13-didecanoate($10\;{\mu}M$, a TRPV4 agonist), menthol(1 mM, a TRPM8 agonist) and icilin($10\;{\mu}M$, a TRPM8 agonist) produced the enhancement of intracellular calcium concentration, capsaicin($1\;{\mu}M$, a TRPV1 agonist) did not. Our results suggest that subfamily of thermo-TRP channels expressed in odontoblasts may serve as thermal or mechanical transducer in teeth.

임상에서 설비의 노후나 고장 등으로 인해 고속 핸드피스의 물 분사에 의한 냉각이 종종 불완전하게 일어날 수 있다. 또한 성인에 비해 치료에 관한 공포가 심하여 비협조적인 소아환자의 경우에는 물의 분사나 고속 흡인기의 사용을 거부하거나 지극히 혐오하는 경우도 드물지 않다. 이처럼 냉각이 충분히 이뤄지지 않은 상황에서 시행되는 다양한 술식은 치수조직에 치명적인 손상을 가할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 임상 수복 술식을 시행하는 동안 각 치아표면에서 발생되는 열이 치수 내부로 전달되는 양상을 조사하기 위함이었다. 석고 블록에 식립된 90개의 하악 제2유구치를 대상으로 수종의 수복 술식을 시행하였고, 해당 치아표면에서 발생되는 열의 온도를 적외선 카메라와 thermography를 이용하여 측정하고, 이를 토대로 유한요소 분석을 통한 치질내 열전도에 관한 평가를 시행하였다. 본 연구에서 시행된 임상 술식의 주수 하 최고 표면 온도는 $30.8^{\circ}C{\sim}43.6^{\circ}C$, 비 주수 하에서는 $51.2^{\circ}C{\sim}103.4^{\circ}C$의 범위를 보였다. 술식 중에서는 치관 형성과정이 가장 높은 온도를, 아말감 제거 과정이 가장 낮은 표면온도를 보였다. 동일 술식 내에서의 주수와 비 주수 조건간에는 모든 술식이 유의한 차를 나타냈다(p<0.05). 유한요소 분석에서 나타난 치수각의 온도변화는 모든 비 주수 조건에서는 큰 폭으로 상승한 반면, 주수 하에서는 전반적으로 미약한 변화를 보였다. 이상의 결과는 고속 절삭기를 사용한 수복 과정에 주수에 의한 충분한 냉각이 치수 생활력의 유지를 위해서 필수적임을 시사해준다. 향후 보다 다양한 술식과 조건을 부여한 유사 분야의 연구가 추천된다.
