안성 청룡사삼층석탑의 구성암석은 대부분 편마상 복운모 화강암과 세립질 화강암으로 이루어져 있다. 이 석탑은 거의 전면에 걸쳐 나타나는 부재의 균열과 결실이 탑의 구조안정성을 위협한다. 또한 표면의 무기오염물과 다양한 서식형태를 갖는 생물침해는 석재표면의 손상을 가중시키고 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 석탑에 대한 종합적인 비파괴훼손도 진단을 수행하고 이를 근거로 풍화를 저감시키기 위해 최소한의 보존처리를 수행하였다. 보존처리에서는 석탑의 전면에 걸쳐 자생하는 지의류 및 생물오염물을 건식 및 습식 세정하였으며, 과거 이 석탑의 보수에 사용되었던 노화된 콘크리트를 제거하고 합성수지를 이용하여 복원하였다. 부재사이에 삽입된 부식된 철편은 티타늄 강철 합금으로 교체하였으며, 모든 공정이 완료된 후에 석질 강화처리를 실시하였다. 또한 석탑의 지반과 주위환경을 보강하고 정비하였으며 관람객에 의한 손상을 제어하기 위한 보호시설을 설치하였다.

Statement of problem. Proliferation of Candida albicans is primarily within the plaque on the fitting surface of the denture rather than on the inflamed mucosa. Consequently, the treatment of the denture is equally important as treatment of the tissue. Cleansing and disinfection should be efficiently carried-out as the organisms can penetrate into the voids of the acrylic resin and grow in them, from which they can continue to infect and reinfect bearing tissues. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the applicability of photocatalytic reaction to eliminate Candida albicans from acrylic resin denture base, and to investigate the anti-fungal effect with various UVA illumination time. Materials and Methods. The specimens were cured by the conventional method following the manufacturer's instruction using thermal polymerized denture base resin (Vertex RS: Dentimex, Netherlands). $TiO_2$ photocatalyst sol(LT), which is able to be coated at normal temperature, was made from the Ti-alkoxide progenitor. The XRD patterns, TEM images and nitrogen absorption ability of the $TiO_2$ photocatalyst sol(LT) were compared with the commercial $TiO_2$ photocatalyst P-25. The experimental specimens were coated with the mixture of the $TiO_2$ photocatalyst sol(LT) and binder material (silane) using dip-coater, and uncoated resin plates were used as the control group. Crystallinity of $TiO_2$ of the specimen was tested by the XRD. Size, shape and chemical compositions were also analyzed using the FE-SEM/ EDS. The angle and methylene blue degradation efsciency were measured for evaluating the photocatalytic activity of the $TiO_2$ film. Finally, the antifungal activity of the specimen was tested. Candida albicans KCTC 7629(1 ml, initial concentration $10^5$ cells/ ml) were applied to the experiment and control group specimens and subsequently two UVA light source with 10W, 353 nm peak emission were illuminated to the specimens from 15cm above. The extracted $2{\mu}l$ of sample was plated on nutrient agar plate ($Bacto^{TM}$ Brain Heart Infusion; BD, USA) with 10 minute intervals for 120 minute, respectively. It was incubated for 24 hours at $37^{\circ}C$ and the colony forming units (CFUs) were then counted. Results. Compared the characteristics of LT photocatalyst with commercial P-25 photocatalyst, LT were shown higher activity than P-25. The LT coated experimental specimen surface had anatase crystal form, less than 20 nm of particle size and wide specific surface area. To evaluate the photocatalytic activity of specimens, methylene blue degradation reaction were used and about 5% of degradation rate were measured after 2 hours. The average contact angle was less than $20^{\circ}$ indicating that the LT photocatalyst had hydrophilicity. In the antifungal activity test for Candida albicans, 0% survival rate were measured within 30 minute after irradiation of UVA light. Conclusion. From the results reported above, it is concluded that the UVA-LT photocatalytic reaction have an antifungal effect on the denture surface Candida albicans, and so that could be applicable to the clinical use as a cleaning method.

The precipitation of calcium phosphate on implant surface has been known to accelerate osseointegration and to enhance osseous adaptation. The present study was performed to examine whether the precipitation of calcium phosphate on Ti-6Al-4V alloy could be affected by the immersion in NaOH solution and heat treatment. Ti-6Al-4V alloy plates of $15{\times}3.5{\times}1mm$ in dimension were polished sequentially from #240 to #2,000 emery paper and one surface of each specimen was additionally polished with $0.1{\mu}m$ alumina paste. Polished specimens were soaked in various concentrations of NaOH solution(0.1, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, 7.0, 10.0 M) at $60^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours for alkali treatment, and 5.0 M NaOH treated specimens were heated for 1 hour at each temperature of 400, 500, 600, 700, $800^{\circ}C$. After the alkali and heat treatments, specimens were soaked in the Hank's solution with pH 7.4 at $36.5^{\circ}C$ for 30days.The surface ingredient change of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was evaluated by thin-film X-ray diffractometer(TF-XRD) and the surface microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM), and the elements of surface were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The results were obtained as follows ; 1. The precipitation of calcium phosphate on Ti-6Al-4V alloy was accelerated by the immersion in NaOH solution and heat treatment. 2. In Alkali treatment for the precipitation of calcium phosphate on Ti-6Al-4V alloy, the optimal concentration of NaOH solution was 5.0 M. 3. In heat treatment after alkali treatment in 5.0 M NaOH solution, the crystal formation on alloy surface was enhanced by increasing temperature. In heat treated alloys at $600^{\circ}C$, latticed structure and prominences of calcium phosphate layer were most dense. On heat treated alloy surface at the higher temperature(${\geq}700^{\circ}C$), main crystal form was titanium oxide rather than apatite. The above results suggested that the precipitation of calcium phosphate on the surface of Ti-6Al-4V alloy could be induced by alkali treatment in 5.0 M-NaOH solution and by heat treatment at $600^{\circ}C$.

본 연구는 광촉매 반응을 이용하여 치아우식증의 주요 원인균인 S. mutans를 조절하기 위한 새로운 방법을 제안하고자 기존 이산화 티타늄 광촉매에 주로 사용되었던 자외선영역의 광원과 현재 임상현장에서 활용되고 있는 405 nm의 가시광선 빛에 의한 광촉매 반응을 유도하여 항균효과를 비교하였다. 우선 최적의 이산화 티타늄 농도를 탐색한 결과 254 nm 또는 405 nm 빛 조사시 0.1 mg/ml의 농도에서 S. mutans에 대한 항균력이 각각 93%와 24%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한 광조사 시간과 S. mutans에 대한 항균력은 정비례 관계를 보였으며, 254 nm의 빛은 20분 이상, 그리고 405 nm의 빛은 40분 이상 조사할 경우 $10^4CFU/ml$ 정도의 생균이 완전히 사멸되는 결과를 확인하였다. 따라서 이산화티타늄의 광촉매 반응은 인체에 무해한 405 nm의 가시광선으로 유도될 수 있으며, 향후 항균력을 보다 증가시킬 수 있는 방법을 고안 한다면 임상현장에서 효과적으로 구강 내 S. mutans를 억제하는 데 활용이 가능할 것으로 예상된다.
