Calcium hydroxide pastes is widely used in conventional endodontics. Along with the expanded clinical use of calcium hydroxide, literatures suggest mixing calcium hydroxide with other substance. Among added substances the vehicle plays the most importance role in the overall process because it is directly related with the velocity of ionic dissociation of $Ca^{2+}$ and OH ion. In this study, we evalutated and compared periapical tissue response and root resorption after canal was filled with mixture of saline and calcium hydroxide(Junsei Chemical Co.. Japan) as a aqueous vehicle, Metapaste(Meta Co., Korea) as a viscous vehicle paste, Vitapex(Neo Dental, Japan) as a oily vehicle paste and IRM(Caulk Dentsply, USA) in replantation of rat molar. A total of 31 maxillary first molars of Sprague-Dawley female rats, 30 days old were used. The upper 1st molar was extracted and the mesiobuccal canal was filled with mixture of saline and calcium hydroxide, Metapaste, Vitapex. IRM and then replanted. Rats were sacrificed 3 weeks after replantation. the maxillae were removed. section of 4 micron were cut and stained with hematoxylin-eosin, Apical tissue response were observed under light microscope. The results were as follows: 1. Saline mixing group and Metapaste group were significant different in fibrous capsule width compared to Vitapex group and IRM group(P<0.05). 2. Saline mixing group. Metapaste group. Vitapex group and IRM group did not prevent root resorption and there were no statistical difference. 3. In saline mixing group and Metapaste group. loss of pastes were observed in all samples. From the results of our study. we observed loss of pastes in saline mixing group and Metapaste group because of water soluble property and assumed it was related to inflammation in apical area and sealing ability of material. So, we should study and develop calcium hydroxide vehicle which is easily removed and more stable and because of only 3 weeks observation we need more evaluation in long period.

Antifungal cement mortar or microbiological calcium carbonate precipitation on cement surface has been investigated as functional concrete research. However, these research concepts have never been fused with each other. In this study, we introduced the antifungal calcite-forming bacteria (CFB) Bacillus aryabhattai KNUC205, isolated from an urban tunnel (Daegu, South Korea). The major fungal deteriogens in urban tunnel, Cladosporium sphaerospermum KNUC253, was used as a sensitive fungal strain. B. aryabhattai KNUC205 showed $CaCO_3$ precipitation on B4 medium. Cracked cement mortar pastes were made and neutralized by modified methods. Subsequently, the mixture of B. aryabhattai KNUC205, conidiospore of C. sphaerospermum KNUC253, and B4 agar was applied to cement cracks and incubated at $18^{\circ}C$ for 16 days. B. aryabhattai KNUC205 showed fungal growth inhibition against C. sphaerospermum. Furthermore, B. aryabhattai KNUC205 showed crack remediation ability and water permeability reduction of cement mortar pastes. Taken together, these results suggest that the $CaCO_3$ precipitation and antifungal properties of B. aryabhattai KNUC205 could be used as an effective sealing or coating material that can also prevent deteriorative fungal growth. This study is the first application and evaluation research that incorporates calcite formation with antifungal capabilities of microorganisms for an environment-friendly and more effective protection of cement materials. In this research, the conception of microbial construction materials was expanded.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of restorative materials on the marginal leakage of wedge-shaped class V cavity. The study was performed in vitro in 25 defect-free permanent, extracted teeth. Wedge-shaped class V cavities were prepared and then the teeth were randomly selected and restored according to the following. Group A : restoration with Tetric Ceram(composite resin) Group B : restoration with Tetric flow(flowable resin) Group C : restoration with Compoglass after acid etching(compomer) Group D : restoration with Compoglass(compomer) Group E : restoration with Fuji II LC improved(resin-modified GIC) After thermocycling, the specimens were immersed in 5% basic fuchsin solution for 6 hours and sectioned longitudinally through the center of the restoration. The degree of marginal leakage was measured as the extent of dye penetration under the stereomicroscope. The data were analysed using one-way ANOVA. When significant differences found, multiple comparisons were made using Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The results were as follows: 1. The occlusal margins of all groups except for Fuji II LC improved showed lesser leakage than gingival margins and there was statistically significant difference(p<0.05). 2. At the occlusal margins, group A, B showed same marginal leakage scores, and others were decreased as group C, D, E in that order. There were statistically significant difference between group A, Band group D, E, group C and group E(p<0.05). 3. At the gingival margins, group B, C showed same marginal leakage scores, and others were decreased as group A, D, E in that order. But there was statistically significant difference between group B, C and group E(p<0.05). 4. In the Compoglass restoration, acid-etching technique was beneficial for marginal sealing ability at all of margins. But there was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05). In the restorations for wedge-shaped class V cavities, resin restoration with acid etching technique is recommended.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate of apical plug materials for the contral of extrusion and sealing ability of high-temperature thermoplasticized gutta-percha in plastic root canal blocks. Seventy seven plastic blocks with canal preformed were instrumented with # 50K file 1 mm beyond apical foramen. Blocks were randomly divided into 5 groups of 15 blocks each. Group 1 was filled by high-temperature thermoplasticized gutta-percha only. The another 4 groups were placed with apical plug materials each other and then remaining space was back filled with high temperature thermoplasticized gutta-percha Apical plug materials were used as follows; Group 2: Thermoplasticized gutta-percha (Thermoplasticized gutta-percha group) Group 3 :. Calcium hydroxide powder (Calcium hydroxide group) Group 4 : Silver point (Silver point group) Group 5 : Gutta-percha cone softened by chloroform (Gutta-percha cone group) All the blocks were stored in 100 % relative humidor at room temperature for 14 days. Filling material extruded was removed carefully and then weighed in analytic balance. Each block was placed in centrifuge tube filled with India ink, and then centrifuged for 20 minutes at 3,000 rpm. Apical leakage was measured from the apical foramen to the most coronal level of dye leakage in millimeter by two examiners under a stereoscope. The data were analysed statistically by Student's t-test The obtained results were as follows; 1. The amounts of material extruded through the foramen decreased in all of groups used apical plug materials (P<0.01). 2. Silver point group and gutta-percha cone group were similar linear leakage to high-temperature thermoplasticised gutta-percha technique only (P>0..5). 3. Calcium hydroxide group and thermoplasticized gutta-percha group showed more liner leakage than high-temperature thermoplasticized gutta-percha only (P<0.01, P<0.05). 4. High-temperature thermoplasticized gutta-percha technique with silver point and gutta-percha cone as apical plugs showed less linear leakage and less extrusion of filling material.

The properties of ideal root canal sealers include the ability of sealing the total root canal system and no toxic effects to periradicular tissues. Cytotoxicity test using cell culture is a common screening method for evaluation of the biocompatibility of root canal sealers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the cytotoxic effect of newly developed resin-based sealer (Adseal 1, 2, and 3) comparing with those commercial resin-based sealers (AH26 and AH Plus), ZOE-based sealers (Tubliseal EWT, Pulp Canal Sealer EWT) and calcium hydroxide based sealer (Sealapex), An indirect contact test of cytotoxicity by agar diffusion was performed according to the international standard ISO 10993-5. L929 fibroblast cells were incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ in humidified 5% $CO_2-containing$ air atmosphere. The freshly mixed test materials were inserted into glass rings of internal diameter 5 mm and height 5 mm placed on the agar. After the 24 hrs incubation period, the decolorization zones around the test materials were assessed using an inverted microscope with a calibrated screen. A Decolorization Index was determined for each specimen. Adseal 1. 2, and 3 did not exert any cytotoxic effects, whereas AH26, AH Plus, Tubliseal EWT, Pulp Canal Sealer EWT, and Sealapex produced mild cytotoxicity.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the sealing ability of three sealers(Sealapex, Pulp canal sealer, AH26) used with continuous wave method using an anaerobic bacterial leakage model. 53 extracted human teeth with straight and single canals were prepared with crown-down pressureless technique using .04, .06 taper Profile(Maillefer, Swiss). Master apical file was maintained as #35 K-file. All canals of the experimental teeth were obturated with continuous wave method using System B(Analytic technology, U.S.A.) The teeth were randomly divided into three experimental groups of 15 and two control groups of 4. Experimental group 1 was obturated with Sealapex and group 2 with Pulp canal sealer, and group 3 with AH26. A dual chamber anaerobic bacterial leakage model was assembled. Brain heart infusion with yeast extract, hemin, menadion, and the chromogenic indicator bromocresol purple was used as the culture broth for Fusobacterium nucleatum(VPI 10197), The specimens were incubated in anaerobic chamber at $37^{\circ}C$ and were observed every 2 to 3 clays, The coronal leakage was evaluated through the color change of culture broth in lower chamber for 60 days. The results were as follows: 1. The incidence of bacterial leakage in group 1 (Sealapex group was 80%, 53% in group 2 (Pulp canal sealer), 27% in group 3 (AH26). 2. There were statistically significant differences in leakage scores between group 1 and group 2, and between group 1 and group 3, respectively. (P<0.05) 3. There was no significantly difference in leakage score between group 2 and group 3. (P>0 05)

The aim of this study was to compare the apical sealing ability of a new thermoplasticized gutta-percha filling technique, the Easy Filling and the Quick Obturation system with lateral condensation technique and Thermafil system to evaluate their clinical acceptabilities. Fifty-two extracted single-rooted teeth were instrumented to #35 using the .04 taper ProFile system. Four groups of 12 teeth were obturated by lateral condensation technique. Thermafil system and two new thermoplasticized gutta-percha techniques, the Easy Filling system and Quick Obturation system (Meta Dental co. Ltd. Korea), respectively. Four teeth served as controls. After the teeth were immersed in 2% methylene blue dye for 48 hours, they were resected horizontally at 1mm to 5mm level from the anatomical apex using a low-speed microtome. Each section was examined under a stereomicroscope at ${\times40}$ magnification and photographed. After each image was scanned, the leakage area was measured at each level using Brain 3 (Nosdia Tech., Korea) software. Leakage ratio was calculated for each group and was analyzed statistically to come up with the following results: 1. At 1mm level, the Quick Obturation system had the largest amount of apical leakage and it was statistically significant when compared with the lateral condensation group and the Thermafil group (p<0.05). 2. At 2mm and 3mm level, there were no significant difference of apical leakage among all four groups (p>0.05), and from 4mm level, no apical dye penetration was observed in all the groups. In conclusion, the apical seal produced by Easy Filling system and the Quick Obturation system was comparable to lateral condensation technique and Thermafil system except for the 1mm level. More improvement of the apical seal can be expected as the operator becomes skillful with the new techniques.

최근 continuous wave of obturation technique을 이용한 근관 충전 장비로서 열 적용뿐 만 아니라 초음파 진동의 기능이 부가된 EndoTwinn이라는 기구가 소개되었다. 이 연구의 목적은 일반적으로 널리 사용되는 System B와 새로운 기구인 EndoTwinn을 사용한 근관충전 시 근단 폐쇄 효율을 비교하기 위한 것이다. 직선형 치근을 가진 60개의 발치된 소구치와 상악 절치를 근관장 측정 후, 6% 경사의 엔진 구동형 니켈-타이타늄 파일을 이용하여 #35 파일까지 확대 및 세척하였다. SB군 (n=20)은 System B, ET군 (n=20)은 EndoTwinn을 이용해 충전하고, Obtura II를 이용하여 backfill하였다. 양성 대조군으로서 PC군(n=10)은 근관 형성 후 빈 근관으로 남겨두었다. SB, ET, PC군의 시편은 치근첨 주위 1 mm를 제외한 모든 치근면에 nail varnish을 적용하고 음성 대조군인 NSB군(n=5)과 NET군(n=5)의 시편은 치근첨을 포함한 모든 치근면에 nail varnish를 도포하였다. 각 치아의 치근첨을 메틸렌블루 용액에 2일간 담궈 보관한 후, 치근첨에서 5 mm까지 1 mm간격으로 절단하여 근관벽의 착색 정도를 평가하였고, 각 높이에서의 점수를 합하여 그 시편의 점수로 정하였다. 두 장비 간의 염색제 누출의 유의성 검정을 위해 student t 분석을 시행하였다. 완전히 잘려지지 않고 플러거에 가타퍼챠가 달려나오는 빈도를 비교하기 위해 카이 분석을 시행하였다. PC군은 모든 근관과 상아세관이 착색되었으며, NC군은 착색이 되지 않았다. ET군의 착색 정도가 SB군보다 유의하게 적게 나타났으며(p < 0.05). 플러거에 가타펴챠가 달려나오는 빈도는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 이 실험의 조건하에서, EndoTwinn을 이용해 충전한 경우에 System B를 이용해 충전한 경우보다 근단부 밀폐 정도가 더 좋은 것으로 사료된다.

연구목적: 본 연구의 목적은 원형의 치근단 삭제를 제공하는 능력에 관한 수 종의 Ni-Ti 회전 기구들을 평가하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 실험은 50개의 단근치를 선택하여 백악상아질 경계에서 절단하였고, 근관의 치관부 1/3은 Gates Glidden bur (#2, #3, #4)를 이용하여 확대하였다. 시편들은 각 군당 10개씩 5개의 실험군들로 나누었다. 1군은 GT file, Profile .04, Quantec #9, #10을 사용했고, 2군은 1군과 유사하나 Quantec 파일 대신 Lightspeed를 사용했고, 3군은 Orifice shaper, Profile .06 종류들, Lightspeed를 사용했고, 4군은 3군과 유사하나 Lightspeed 대신 Quantec #9, #10를 사용했고, 5군은 근관 확대를 위해 GT file, Profile .04를 사용했다. 모든 치아 시편들은 치근첨으로부터 1 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm에서 절단하여 현미경하에서 관찰했다. 결과: 본 연구의 결과 실험군 2, 3군(Lightspeed file군)이 실험군 1, 4군(Quantec), 실험군 5군(GT file, profile .04종류들)에 비하여 치근단 1 mm에서 더 원형에 가까운 치근단 삭제를 보였다(p < 0.05). 치근단 3, 5 mm들에서는 각 군들 사이에서 통계학적 유의차가 없었다. 치근단 5 mm 시편들에서는 대부분의 시편들이 완전한 원형을 나타내었으며 불규칙한 모양은 관찰되지 않았다. 결론: 치근단 1 mm 시편에서 Lightspeed를 사용한 경우에서 다른 Quantec, GT와 Profile .04 종류들을 사용한 것보다 더 원형의 삭제를 얻었고, 근관장에서 최초의 Lightspeed에 맞는 크기보다 ISO 크기보다 3단계 크기 확대로는 모든 치근단 1 mm에서 원형의 삭제를 얻었을 수 없었고 단지 35%에서만 원형의 삭제를 얻을 수 있었다는 것이다. 따라서 ISO 크기보다 3단계 크기 확대가 원형 삭제를 얻기에는 불충분하며 좀 더 큰 크기로 확대하는 것이 필요함을 알 수 있으나 치아에 따라 치근단 부위 치질의 양이 다를 수 있으므로 일률적으로 적용하기에는 무리가 있을 수 있다.
