연구목적: 본 연구는 치근벽의 전처리 개념과 접착제의 중합방법이 레진계 근관충전제의 치근단 밀폐능에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 3가지 다른 접착변수를 조합하여 충전한 Resilon-RealSeal 시스템의 근단미세누출을 색소침투법을 이용하여 통상의 가타퍼쳐 충전과 비교하였다. 실험군은 자가부식형 RealSeal primer와 이중중합형 RealSeal sealer를 이용하여 Resilon 충전한 SEDC군, 산부식없이 Scotchbond Multi-Purpose primer를 적용한 후 접착제는 광중합하고 Resilon을 충전한 NELC군, 및 Scotchbond Multi-Purpose의 접착강화제와 접착제를 total etch/wet bonding과 광중합의 술식을 정확하게 지켜서 Resilon을 충전한 TELC군으로 구분하였다. 대조군(GPCS)에서는 통상의 AH26 plus sealer를 사용하여 가타퍼쳐를 충전 하였다. 결과: 치아장축방향의 색소침투는 TELC군에서 GPCS군과 SEDC군에 비해 유의하게 작았다(Kruskal-Wallis test, p < 0.05). 횡단면의 미세누출 점수도 TELC군이 근첨으로부터 2 - 5 mm의 범위에서 다른 군에 비해 유의하게 낮았다(Kruskal-Wallis test, p < 0.05). 결론: 레진계 근관충전제를 사용 시에는, 자가부식형 전처리제와 이중중합형 sealer보다는, total etch/wet bonding 개념과 적절한 광중합을 도모하는 전처리제 및 접착제의 사용이 치근단 미세누출을 감소시키므로 추천된다.

The present report describes the endodontic treatment of an Oehlers type II dens invaginatus in a maxillary lateral incisor with 5 root canals, an extremely rare condition. Apical periodontitis and related symptoms were noted. Cone-beam computed tomography was used to aid the diagnosis, reveal tooth morphology, and assist in canal location. The pulp chamber was carefully accessed, and the root canals were explored under magnification. All root canals were prepared with an R25 Reciproc Blue system and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) irrigation. After initial preparation, a self-adjusting file (SAF) with NaOCl and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid was used to complement the disinfection. Additionally, calcium hydroxide medication was applied. Vertical compaction was used to fill the canals with a calcium silicate-based endodontic sealer and gutta-percha. After 12 months, the patient exhibited healing of the periapical region, absence of symptoms, and normal dental function. In conclusion, this nonsurgical treatment protocol was successful in promoting the cure of apical periodontitis. Both complementary disinfection with an SAF and use of calcium hydroxide medication should be considered when choosing the best treatment approach for dens invaginatus with very complex anatomy.

Objectives: This study investigated the incidence of root dentin defects after the use of different post space preparation (PSP) drills. Materials and Methods: Seventy-two bovine incisors were selected and obtained 14-mm-long root sections. Twelve roots served as controls with no intervention (G1). The 60 root canals remaining were instrumented using the crown-down technique with the ProTaper Next system and obturated using the lateral condensation technique. Specimens were randomly distributed into 5 groups (n = 12) according to the operative steps performed: G2, root canal instrumentation and filling (I+F); G3, I+F and PSP with Gates-Glidden drills; G4, I+FI+F and PSP with Largo-Peeso reamers; G5, I+F and PSP with Exacto drill; and G6, I+F and PSP with WhitePost drill. Roots were sectioned at 3, 6, 9, and 12 mm from the apex, and digital images were captured. The presence of root dentin defects was recorded. Data were analyzed by the χ² test, with p < 0.05 considered to indicate statistical significance. Results: Root dentin defects were observed in 39.6% of the root sections. No defects were observed in G1. G5 had significantly more cracks and craze lines than G1, G2, and G3 (p < 0.05), and more fractures than G1, G2, G3, and G4 (p < 0.05). When all root sections were analyzed together, significantly more defects were observed at the 12-mm level than at the 3-mm level (p < 0.05). Conclusions: PSP drills caused defects in the root dentin. Gates-Glidden drills caused fewer root defects than Largo-Peeso reamers and Exacto drills.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the two warm gutta-percha filling techniques by measuring the weight changes of resin blocks before and after canal filling in ribbon shaped canal. Simulated ribbon shaped root canals in 30 transparent resin blocks were instrumented to #40 using .06 taper Profile. 15 resin blocks were obturated with gutta-percha using cold lateral condensation. Warm lateral condensation using the Endotec II was then accomplished on the same 15 blocks. Another 15 resin blocks were obturated using the System B. All canals were obturated without sealer. The resin blocks were weighed after canal preparation and after each subsequent obturation, and then weight changes of the resin blocks were calculated The results were as follows. 1. Warm lateral condensation using Endotec II and continuous wave of condensation using System B produced a denser obturation of gutta-percha compared with conventional cold lateral condensation (p<0.01). 2. There was no significant difference between warm lateral condensation and continuous wave condensation. In conclusion, the warm gutta-percha condensation techniques like warm lateral condensation and continuous wave condensation can be expected to bring favorable canal obturation results in ribbon shaped canals.

The purpose of this study was to compare sealing ability between lateral condensation and continuous wave of condensation in depend of root canal curvature. In this study, we divided fifty-six human molar teeth into two group in depend of Schneider method, and then subdivided them into four experimental group (each group is composed of twelve teeth) by canal curvature and obturation method, and eight teeth were served as positive and negative controls. Specimens were prepared by Quantac 2000 series file and obturated by lateral condensation or System B. Specimens were immersed in india ink for 7 days, decalcified by 10% nitric acid, dehydrated by 75, 95 and 100% alcohol in order, cleared by methyl salicylate and then measured of dye penetration with stereomicroscope(${\times}6.5$ magnification) and Image Pro plus. The data were analyzed stastically by one-way ANOVA and Scheffe test. The data were as follows: 1. The mean leakage was $0.725{\pm}1.167$ for group A, $0.813{\pm}0.921$ for group B, $0.809{\pm}0.997$ for group C, $1.111{\pm}1.147$ for group D, but no significant difference among them(p>0.05). 2. Lateral condensation had better sealing ability than continuous wave of condensation, but no significant difference among them(p>0.05). 3. There was no significant difference between root canal curvature degree and microleakage(p>0.05).

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of a glide-path on the shaping ability of 2 single-file instruments and to compare the centering ability, maintenance of original canal curvatures and area of instrumentation in simulated S-shaped root canals. Materials and Methods: Forty simulated S-shaped root canals were used and were prepared with One Curve (group OC), One G and OC (group GOC), Reciproc Blue (group RB) and R-Pilot and RB (group PRB) and scanned before and after instrumentation. The images were analyzed using AutoCAD. After superimposing the samples, 4 levels (D1, D2, D3, and D4) and 2 angles (Δ1 and Δ2) were established to evaluate the centering ability and modification of the canal curvatures. Then, the area of instrumentation (ΔA) was measured. The data were analyzed using 2-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test for multiple comparisons (p < 0.05). Results: Regarding the centering ability in the apical part (D3, D4), the use of the glide-path yielded better results than the single-file groups. Among the groups at D4, OC showed the worst results (p < 0.05). The OC system removed less material (ΔA) than the RB system, and for Δ1, OC yielded a worse result than RB (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The glide-path improved the centering ability in the apical part of the simulated S-shaped canals. The RB system showed a better centering ability in the apical part and major respect of the canal curvatures compared with OC system.

이 연구의 목적은 Ni-Ti file을 사용한 경험이 없는 학생들이 세 종류 Ni-Ti file systems을 사용하였을 때 근관 형성 효율을 비교하는 것이다. Ni-Ti file의 사용 경험이 없는 부산대학교 치과대학 4학년 학생 50명이 세 종류의 Ni-Ti file system - $ProFile^{(R)}$ (PF : Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland), manual $ProTaper^{(R)}$ (MPT: Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland), rotary $ProTaper^{(R)}$ (RPT: Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) -을 사용하여 각 system으로 하나의 근관씩, 모두 150개의 레진 블락 근관모형(Endo Training Bloc; Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland)을 형성하였다. 근관형성에 사용된 file의 파절이나 변형 및 근관형성 후 형태의 이상을 조사하고, 스캐너로 근관 형성 전후의 이미지를 채득하여 중첩 비교함으로써 근단부로부터 1mm, 3mm, 그리고 5mm 높이에서의 삭제된 근관의 폭경, 근관의 변위량, 그리고 중심변위율 등을 산출하고 통계학적 비교 분석을 하였다. 그리고 세 가지 systems에 관한 학생들의 주관적인 선호도를 조사하였다. 그 결과 졸업을 앞둔 치과대학 재학생들도 특별한 문제점 없이 세 가지 Ni-Ti file systems을 사용한 근관형성이 가능함을 확인하였다. 세 실험군을 비교하였을 때, 양적인 삭제 능력은 두 $ProTaper^{(R)}$ systems (manual and rotary)이 $ProFile^{(R)}$에 비해 우세하였지만, 근관의 변위는 두 $ProTaper^{(R)}$ systems에서 더 많이 유발되었다. 근관 중심 이동률 등의 질적 평가를 포함하여 학생들의 선호도를 종합적으로 고려할 때, 삭제 능력에 있어서는 rotary $ProTaper^{(R)}$가 더 효율적이지만 안전성을 고려하면 $ProFile^{(R)}$도 추천된다. 정규 교육과정에서 Ni-Ti file systems의 도입을 위해서 초심자와 관련한 더 많은 연구가 진행되어야 하겠다.
