Ultrasound images are noninvasive, can be observed in real time, have no radiation exposure, do not cause pain, and are not restricted in use depending on the patient's prosthetic implant or medical condition. Since the use of ultrasound in the dental field was first applied for tooth preparation in 1957, the use of diagnostic ultrasound for the first time in 1963 has been reported. Currently, it is used in the diagnosis of soft tissue lesions such as malignant tumor or salivary gland disease, fine needle aspiration test, temporomandibular joint disease, lymph node metastasis, measurement of muscle thickness and inflammatory diseases, differentiation of periapical cyst and granulation tissue, measurement of periodontal tissue thickness. The ultrasound image can be visualized in real time. The clinician can explain the structure to the patient while consulting the patient and consult the patient. When injecting the drug into a specific site or aspirating a specific site or substance, So that it can be confirmed and practiced. Recently, ultrasonic equipment specialized in the dental field has been developed and marketed, and it is expected that the use of ultrasonic waves will become active in the dentistry. In the future, development of popular equipment with size and frequency suitable for dental diagnosis and various researches on maxillofacial ultrasonic anatomy. If clinical studies are continuously carried out to demonstrate efficacy, ultrasound is expected to aid in accurate diagnosis and treatment throughout the dentistry.

A titanium based screw shaped dental implant was first introduced by Branemark and a treatment protocol where the restoration of edentulous area by connecting abutment after the osseointegration of the titanium surface of the implant and surrounding bone structure has been proposed. Although this protocol is widely accepted as a standard up to date, the healing duration of 3-6 months as well as the need for provisional prostheses during this period present as a major drawback. Immediate loading has been accomplished through the advent of various implant designs, enforced surface treatments, diverse forms of abutment, and delicate surgical techniques together with the increase in demand from the patients. The success rate of the immediate loading technique has been first reported as 85.7% by Dr. Schnitman in 1990 which recently has been reported up to 100% in the case of immediate loading in single tooth by Dr. Kan. To ameliorate the success rate of immediate loading technique, selection of patients presenting a sound bone quality and quantity, acquiring primary stability through delicate surgical techniques and fabrication of prostheses which accounts for biological stabilities should all be taken into consideration. This presentation introduces the understanding of biological stability of immediate loading, various methods for measurement of stability and clinical cases regarding immediate loading technique.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress patterns developed in abutment and residual ridge according to removable denture design in case of remaining mandibular canines. The removable denture designs in this study were as foolows : 1. Removable partial denture with non-splinted abutment 2. Removable partial denture with splinted abutment 3. Overdenture with telescopic crown 4. Overdenture with O-Ring attachment 5. Overdenture with combination bar attachment Photoelastic stress analysis was used to record the isochromatic fringe patterns and to calculate principal stress components at measuring points. The results were as follows : 1. In case of removable partial denture with non-splinted abutment, stress of root area at the loaded side was the largest. No significant differences in stress of root area were observed between loaded side and unloaded side. 2. No significant differences in stress of residual ridge at the loaded side were observed between removable partial denture with splinted abutment and removable partial denture with non-splinted abutment. 3. In case of combination bar attachment retained overdenture, stress of root area was the largest and in case of telescopic crown retained overdenture, stress of root area was the lowest. 4. In case of attachment retained overdenture, stress of residual ridge was lower but stress of root area was larger than in case of removable partial denture.

Linear Pulse Motors (LPM) are used a field where SImOth linear motion is required, and it's position accuracy higher than that of a lead According to the advanUlge such as simplicity of rrechanical frarre, high reliability, precise open-loop operation, low inertia etc. LPM is awlied largely where it have made motor of this kind more and rmre attractive in many application areas such as factory automation and high speed positioning. This paper is researched to analyze for force characteristics of hybrid LPM with high accuracy and repeatability. Both the thrust and normal force are very sensitive to the airgap and tooth pitches of the forcer and platen. Here, the thrust shows a high content while the normal force is much higher than the thrust. For magnetic circuits of hybrid LPM is the complicated structure, the finite element rrethod (FEM) is employed with suitable rrethod for calculating the force. Therefore, both the virtual work principle and maxwell stress tensor have been used.n used.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are enzymes that can degrade collagen in hybrid layer and reduce the longevity of adhesive restorations. As scientific understanding of the MMPs has advanced, useful strategies focusing on preventing these enzymes' actions by MMP inhibitors have quickly developed in many medical fields. However, in restorative dentistry, it is still not well established. This paper is an overview of the strategies to inhibit MMPs that can achieve a long-lasting material-tooth adhesion. Literature search was performed comprehensively using the electronic databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect and Scopus including articles from May 2007 to December 2019 and the main search terms were "matrix metalloproteinases", "collagen", and "dentin" and "hybrid layer". MMPs typical structure consists of several distinct domains. MMP inhibitors can be divided into 2 main groups: synthetic (synthetic-peptides, non-peptide molecules and compounds, tetracyclines, metallic ions, and others) and natural bioactive inhibitors mainly flavonoids. Selective inhibitors of MMPs promise to be the future for specific targeting of preventing dentin proteolysis. The knowledge about MMPs functionality should be considered to synthesize drugs capable to efficiently and selectively block MMPs chemical routes targeting their inactivation in order to overcome the current limitations of the therapeutic use of MMPs inhibitors, i.e., easy clinical application and long-lasting effect.

To evalutate the change in shear bond strength according to dentin surface treatment, 4 materials were divided into control group(A) and experimental group(B). Group A was treated according to the instruction of manufacture. Group B was treated with 32% phosphoric acid. After dentin surface treatment, each material was bonded and stored in 100% humidity during 7 days, and then, the shear bond strength was evaluated. The results were as follows: 1. In the case of treatment according to the instruction of manufacture, the shear bond strength according to material showed Z-100 to be highest with 12.42 MPa, Compoglass had the lowest shear bond strength with 4.23 MPa and there was significant difference between Compoglass and Z-100, Dyract (p<0.01). 2. The group treated with 32% phosphoric acid showed lower shear bond strength than that of the group treated according to the instruction of manufacture but there was no statistical significance. 3. As a result of observation under SEM, the fracture pattern was a mixture of cohesive and adhesive failure in group 1, and there was more adhesive failure in group 2, and in group 3 and 4 there was cohesive failure of material or tooth structure. From the results above Dyract showed shear bond strength levels between resin and resin -modified glass ionomer but Compoglass showed much lower shear bond strength than that of resin-modified glass ionomer thus indicating that even though they are the same type of material they show evident differences in physical properties. And it is thought that the treatment of dentin surface with phosphoric acid did not increase the shear bond strength, unlike enamel.

In the case of CAD/CAM ceramic inlay restorations, if isthmus width is widened too much, it may cause fracture of remaining tooth structure or loss of bonding at the luting interface because of excessive displacement of buccal or lingual cusps under occlusal loads. So to clarify the criterior of widening isthmus width, this study was designed to test the tensile bond strength and bond failure mode between dentin and ceramic cemented with luting composite resin cements. Cylindrical ceramic blocks(Vita Cerec Mark II, d=4mm) were bonded to buccal dentin of 40 freshly extracted third molars with 4 luting composite resin cements(group1 : Scotchbond Resin Cement/Scotchbond Multi-Purpose, group2 : Duolink Resin Cement/ All-Bond 2, group3: Bistite Resin Cement/Ceramics Primer, and group4:Superbond C&B). Tensile bond test was done under universal testing machine using bonding and measuring alignment blocks(${\phi}ilo$ & Urn, 1992). After immersion of fractured samples into 1 % methylene blue for 24 hours, failure mode was analysed under stereomicroscope and SEM. Results: The tensile bond strength of goup 1, 2 & 4 was $13.97{\pm}2.90$ MPa, $16.49{\pm}3.90$ MPa and $16.l7{\pm}4.32$ MPa, respectively. There was no statistical differences(p>0.05). But, group 3 showed significantly lower bond stregnth($5.98{\pm}1.l7$ MPa, p<0.05). In almost all samples, adhesive fractures between dentin and resin cements were observed. But, in group 1, 2 & 4, as bond strength increased, cohesive fracture within resin cement was observed simultaneously. And, in group 3, as bond strength decreased, cohesive fracture between hybrid layer and composite resin cement was also observed. Cohesive fracture within dentin and porcelain adhesive fracture were not observed. In conclusion, although adhesive cements were used in CAD/CAM -fabricated ceramic inlay restorations, the conservative priciples of cavity preparation must be obligated.

This study considered the reduction of the detent force of a permanent magnet linear synchronous generator (PMLSG). The PMLSG has a relatively large magnetic air gap. Thus, a slotted type of stator structure is generally employed. Furthermore, the detent force, which is caused by energy imbalances owing to the interaction between tooth-slot structures and the permanent magnets (PMs), must be minimized for start-up operation. Therefore, in this paper, the methods of auxiliary teeth and a notch in the teeth are applied to reduce the detent force.

This case report describes a technique in which endodontic treatment and permanent indirect restoration were completed in the same clinical appointment with the aid of a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system. Two patients were diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis of the mandibular first molar. After access preparation, root canals were located, irrigation was performed until bleeding ceased, and the coronal tooth structure was prepared for indirect restoration. Then, utilizing an interim 3-mm build-up of the endodontic access cavity, a hemi-arch digital scan was performed with an intraoral scanner. Subsequent to digital scanning, restoration design was performed simultaneously with the endodontic procedure. The root canals were shaped using the Race system under irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite followed by root canal filling. The pulp chamber was subsequently filled with a 3-mm-thick composite resin restoration mimicking the interim build-up previously utilized to facilitate block milling in the CAD/CAM system. Clinical try-in of the permanent onlay restoration was followed by acid etching, application of a 5th generation adhesive, and cementation of the indirect restoration. Once the restoration was cemented, rubber dam isolation was removed, followed by occlusal adjustment and polishing. After 2 years of follow-up, the restorations were esthetically and functionally satisfactory, without complications.
