The purpose of this study was to investigate the color stability of composite resins used widely as esthetic restorative material. Surefil(Dentsply, U.S.A.), Esthet X(Dentsply, U.S.A.), Filtek P60(3M, U.S.A.) , Filtek Z250(3M, U.S.A.), Synergy Compact(Coltene, Switzerland), and Synergy Duo(Coltene, Switzerland) were chosen for this study. Thirty six specimens($7mm{\times}2mm$) of each composite resin were fabricated and polished after polymerization. Treatment conditions designed for this study were thermocycling, methylene blue staining, and filtered coffee staining. The color changes before and after treatment were measured by colorimeter(colorimeter, Model Tc-6Fx, Tokyo Denshoku Co.) and analyzed. The followings were drawn from this study: 1. The color changes of Filtek Z250, Surefil, Filtek P60 and Esthet X after thermocycling for 3 weeks were greater than those of the others. 2. The color changes of Surefil and Esthet X after methylene blue stainig and those of Surefil, Filtek Z250 and Filtek P60 after coffee staining were great. 3. The color changes or Synergy Duo and Synergy Compact after thermocycling and coffee staining were relatively lesser than those of other composite resins.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of plasma arc curing (PAC) unit for composite and compomer curing. To compare its effectiveness with conventional quartz tungsten halogen (QTH) light curing unit, the polymerization shrinkage rates and amounts of three composites (Z100, Z250, Synergy Duo Shade) and one compomer, that had been light cured by PAC unit or QTH unit, was compared using a custome made linometer. The measurement of polymerization shrinkage was peformed after polymerization with either QTH unit or PAC unit. In case of curing with the PAC unit, the composite was light cured with Apollo 95E for 6s, the power density of which was recorded as 1350 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ by Coltolux Light Meter. For light curing with QTH unit, the composite was light cured for 30s with the XL2500, the power density of which was recorded as 800 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ by Coltolux Light Meter. The amount of linear polymerization shrinkage was recorded in the computer every 0.5s for 60s. Ten measurements were made for each material. The amount of linear polymerization shrinkage for each material in 10s and 60s which were cured with PAC or QTH unit were compared with t test. The amount of polymerization shrinkage in the tested materials were compared with 1way ANOVA with Duncan's multiple range test. As for the amounts of polymerization shrinkage in 60s, there was no difference between PAC unit and QTH unit in Z250 and Synergy Duo Shade. In Z100 and Dyract AP, it was lower when it was cured with PAC unit than when it was cured with QTH unit (p<0.05). As for the amounts of polymerization shrinkage in 10s, there was no difference between PAC unit and QTH unit in Z100 and Dyract AP. The amounts of polymerization shrinkage was significantly higher when it was cured with PAC unit in Z250 and Synergy Duo Shade (p<0.05). The amounts of polymerization shrinkage in the tested materials when they were cured with QTH unit were Z250 (6.6um) < Z100 (9.3um), Dyract AP (9.7um) < Synergy Duo Shade (11.2um) (p<0.05). The amount of polymerization shrinkage when the materials were cured with PAC unit were Dyract AP (5.6um) < Z100 (8.1um), Z250(7.0um) < Synergy Duo Shade (11.2um) (p<0.05).

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The discoloration of anterior teeth restoration is one of the material problems demanding retreatment. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the color stability and affecting factors on esthetic restorative materials when subjected to accelerated aging. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study was conducted using porcelain disks (IPS Empress 2-glazed, IPS Empress 2-polished), direct restorative resin disks (SYNERGY Duo) and indirect restorative resin disks (Sinfony, TESCERA ATL). Accelerated aging was done by precipitating the specimens in 38.C distilled water and irradiating with xenon light, and the total irradiation was 397.98 KJ/mm. Color and microhardness change of the specimens were measured before accelerated aging and after 100 hours, 200 hours and 300 hours of accelerated aging, and Surface of the specimens were examined with SEM before and after 300 hours of accelerated aging. RESULTS: 1. After 300 hours' accelerated aging, a ${\Delta}E$ value was 3.3 or lower in IPS Empress 2-glazed, IPS Empress 2-polished and Sinfony. 2. After 300 hours' accelerated aging, gloss was lost and surface changes including microcracks were observed in TESCERA ATL and SYNERGY Duo, and color changes of them ranged between 3.58 and 6.40 ${\Delta}E$ units. 3. During 300 hours' accelerated aging, the microhardness of surface was increased by 3.21 - 19.64% in all kinds of composites resin. CONCLUSION: After 300 hours' accelerated aging, SEM images IPS Empress 2-glazed, IPS Empress 2-polished and Sinfony showed little morphological change and their color changes were considered to be clinically acceptable. And there was significant correlation between microhardness changes and color changes of composites (P < .05).

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of exponential curing method with conventional curing and two step soft start curing method on polymerization shrinkage of composite resins. Three brands of composite resins (Synergy Duo Shade, Z-250, Supreme) and three brands of light curing units (Spectrum 800, Elipar Highlight, Elipar Trillight) were used. In this study, the diameter of specimen was 5.5mm and height 1.6mm and the specimen was cured for 40 seconds. The shrinkage was measured by custom made linometer. The amount of linear polymerization shrinkage recorded in the computer every 0.5 second for 90 seconds. Each group was measured 10 times.(omitted)

본 연구는 광중합형 복합레진 중합 시 기존의 중합법과 가변광도 중합형인 soft start 중합법 및 exponential 중합법 간의 중합수축효과를 비교하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 위해 3종의 복합레진 (Synergy Duo Shade, Z250, Filtek Supreme) 및 3종의 광조사기 (Spectrum 800, Elipar Highlight, Elipar Trilight)를 사용하였다. 총 중합시간은 40초로 일정하게 유지하였으며, 선형 중합수축률의 측정은 linometer를 이용하였으며, 90초간의 선형 수축률을 0.5초 간격으로 측정하였다. 재료별로 각 중합 방법별 시간에 따른 중합수축률을 one-way ANOVA test로 분석하여 최종 중합수축률에 도달하는 시간을 산출하였고, 90초 후 최종 선형 중합수축률을 two-way ANOVA test를 이용하여 재료, 광조사 방법, 재료 및 광조사 방법의 교호작용이 중합수축에 미치는 영향이 있는지를 검증하였다. 또한 90초까지의 선형 중합수축률에 대한 20초까지의 선형 중합수축률의 비를 two-way ANOVA로 비교하고, 각각의 통계치를 95% Scheffe test로 검증하였는바, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다 1. Supreme을 제외한 다른 군에서는 재료 및 광조사 방법에 관계없이 대부분의 중합 수축이 광조사 후 20초 이내에 이루어졌다 (p < 0.05). 2. 90초 후, 최종 중합수축률은 재료 (p = 0.000)와 광조사 방법 (p = 0.003) 모두 유의성 있는 영향을 끼쳤으나, 재료와 광조사 방법 상호간의 작용은 영향이 없었다. 3. 90초 후 최종 중합수축률은 총 광에너지가 가장 낮은 exponential 중합법에서 유의성 있게 낮았다 (p < 0.05). 4. 20초까지의 초기 수축률은 soft start와 exponential중합법 등 가변광도 중합이 conventional 중합법에 비하여 유의성 있게 낮은 수축률을 보였다 (p < 0.05). 본 실험 결과만을 토대로 볼 때, 가변광도 중합법은 초기 중합수축 속도를 감소시켜 수축응력을 감소시킨다고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 총 조사 광에너지의 차이로 인해 그 물리적 성질에 영향이 있을 수 있으므로 향후 이에 대한 더 많은 고찰이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
