Purpose: The present study was performed to investigate the effect of abutment inclined angle on the marginal fit of zirconia all-ceramic crown. Methods: The Ti abutments with 3 different inclined angle($2^{\circ}$, $4^{\circ}$ and $6^{\circ}$) were fabricated. The zirconia copings were fabricated for each abutment by using dental CAD/CAM system. The manufactured zirconia copings were duplicated through silicone replica technique, and a replicated specimen was sectioned in the center of bucco-lingual and mesio-distal axial to measure the marginal fit by using a stereo microscope. The results were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA with SPSS 22.0 for Windows(${\alpha}=0.05$). Results: On the bucco-lingual axial, marginal fit was the RL3($41.5{\pm}3.4{\mu}m$), RL2($44.3{\pm}4.3{\mu}m$) and RL1($47.5{\pm}5.7{\mu}m$), respectively. On the mesio-distal axial, marginal fit was the RL3($41.1{\pm}3.7{\mu}m$), RL2($45.7{\pm}5.3{\mu}m$) and RL1($46.2{\pm}4.5{\mu}m$), respectively. One-way ANOVA showed statistically significant difference between groups for marginal fit(p<0.05). Conclusion: For marginal fit of the abutments inclined angle, RL3 specimen was superior. The abutment inclined angle had influence on marginal fit of the zirconia copings. The marginal fit of each group were within clinically acceptable range.

본 연구의 목적은 레진시멘트 색상이 상용 지르코니아 크라운의 색상에 미치는 영향을 평가하는 것이다. 연구에는 $NuSmile^{(R)}$ ZR Zirconia LT Shade (LT) 지르코니아와 $RelyX^{TM}$ U200 TR, A2, A3O (TR, A2, A3O) 레진시멘트를 사용했다. 이 때 지르코니아와 레진시멘트 시편은 직경 5 mm, 두께 1 mm의 디스크 형으로 각 조건 당 다섯 개씩 제작했다. CIE $L^*a^*b^*$값은 검은색과 흰색 배경에서 분광 광도계를 사용해 지르코니아와 레진시멘트 단독 조건과 겹친 조건에서 각각 측정했다. 레진시멘트 색상이 상용 지르코니아 크라운의 색상에 미치는 영향은 측정된 값을 이용해, 반투명도(TP, translucency parameter), 대조비(CR, contrast ratio), 색차(${\Delta}E{^*}_{ab}$)의 계산을 통해 평가했다. 각 변수에 대한 평균값과 표준편차는 동일한 실험군에서 CIE $L^*a^*^b^*$ 값을 3회씩 측정하여 구했다. 실험군의 통계적 유의성은 일원배치 분산분석(one-way ANOVA)과 Tukey-multiple comparisons test로 검증했다. 그 결과, 지르코니아 하방에 레진시멘트를 겹친 조건일 때는 지르코니아 단독 조건일 때에 비해 반투명도는 감소했고(p<0.05) 대조비는 증가했다. 검은색 배경에서 지르코니아와 지르코니아 하방에 레진시멘트를 겹쳤을 때의 색차는 모든 실험군에서 색의 변화를 인지할 수 없었고 LT/A3O 조합에서 최소값을 보였다. 한편, 흰색 배경에서 지르코니아와 지르코니아 하방에 레진시멘트를 겹쳤을 때의 색차는 LT/TR 조합에서 색변화를 임상적으로 허용할 수 있는 경계값을 보였다. LT/A2 조합에서는 색변화를 임상적으로 허용할 수 없었고, LT/A3O 조합에서는 색변화를 인지할 수 있었으나 임상적으로 허용할 수 있는 수준이었다. 이상의 결과와 같이 본 연구의 한계 내에서는, 흰색 배경의 LT/A2 조합 외에는 지르코니아 색상에 임상적으로 허용할 수 없는 색변화를 주는 레진시멘트는 없었다. 그 중 지르코니아 색상에 최소한의 영향을 미치는 레진시멘트 색상은 A3O였다. 따라서, 본 연구와 동일한 상용 지르코니아 크라운을 치아에 접착할 때 색변화를 최소화하기 위해서는 A3O 색상의 레진시멘트 사용이 추천된다.

PURPOSE. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of the color of a background substructure on the overall color of a zirconia-based all-ceramic crown. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Twenty one posterior zirconia crowns were made for twenty subjects. Seven premolar crowns and six molar crowns were cemented onto abutments with metal post and core in the first and second group. In the third group, eight molar crowns were cemented onto abutments with a prefabricated post and composite core build-up. The color measurements of all-ceramic crowns were made before try-in, before and after cementation. A repeated measure ANOVA was used for a statistical analysis of a color change of all-ceramic crowns at ${\alpha}$=.05. Twenty four zirconia specimens, with different core thicknesses (0.4-1 mm) were also prepared to obtain the contrast ratio of zirconia materials after veneering. RESULTS. $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ values of all-ceramic crowns cemented either on a metal cast post and core or on a prefabricated post did not show significant changes (P>.05). However, the slight color changes of zirconia crowns were detected and represented by ${\Delta}E{^*}_{ab}$ values, ranging from 1.2 to 3.1. The contrast ratios of zirconia specimens were 0.92-0.95 after veneering. CONCLUSION. No significant differences were observed between the $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ values of zirconia crowns cemented either on a metal cast post and core or a prefabricated post and composite core. However, the color of a background substructure could affect the overall color of posterior zirconia restorations with clinically recommended core thickness according to ${\Delta}E{^*}_{ab}$ values.

PURPOSE. All-ceramic crowns are subject to fracture during function. To minimize this common clinical complication, zirconium oxide has been used as the framework for all-ceramic crowns. The aim of this study was to compare the fracture strengths of two computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) zirconia crown systems: Lava and Digident. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Twenty Lava CAD/CAM zirconia crowns and twenty Digident CAD/CAM zirconia crowns were fabricated. A metal die was also duplicated from the original prepared tooth for fracture testing. A universal testing machine was used to determine the fracture strength of the crowns. RESULTS. The mean fracture strengths were as follows: $54.9{\pm}15.6$ N for the Lava CAD/CAM zirconia crowns and $87.0{\pm}16.0$ N for the Digident CAD/CAM zirconia crowns. The difference between the mean fracture strengths of the Lava and Digident crowns was statistically significant (P<.001). Lava CAD/CAM zirconia crowns showed a complete fracture of both the veneering porcelain and the core whereas the Digident CAD/CAM zirconia crowns showed fracture only of the veneering porcelain. CONCLUSION. The fracture strengths of CAD/CAM zirconia crowns differ depending on the compatibility of the core material and the veneering porcelain.

본 연구는 PET-CT 검사를 시행할 때 치과보철물에 의해 발생되는 CT의 HU(Hounsfield Unit) 값을 금속의 종류에 따라 측정하고, PET 영상의 왜곡정도와 표준섭취계수(SUV)의 변화를 확인하여 영상 판독 시 오류의 감소방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 실험방법은 실제 치아와 메탈 크라운, 골드크라운, 티타늄, 지르코니아의 치과보철물을 이용하여 PET-CT 검사를 실시하였다. 일반 치아와 비교한 결과 HU 값이 증가함에 따라 SUV 값이 증가되는 것을 확인하였고, 메탈 크라운, 티타늄, 지르코니아의 SUV 값은 37% 정도 증가되었고, 골드 크라운에서는 45.4%로 가장 많이 증가했다. 그리고 일반치아, 메탈크라운, 티타늄, 지르코니아에서 영상 왜곡은 미미했지만, 골드 크라운에서는 선속경화현상이 심하게 발생하였고, 영상 왜곡이 나타났다. 따라서 치과보철물의 금속종류는 SUV 값에 영향을 미치기 때문에 치과 보철물 중에서 골드 재질을 사용한 환자를 진단할 때에는 영상 판독 시 보정된 PET 영상보다는 NAC(무보정) PET 영상을 확인한다면 판독에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

PURPOSE. Marginal fit is a very important factor considering the restoration's long-term success. However, adding porcelain to copings can cause distortion and lead to an inadequate fit which exposes more luting material to the oral environment and causes secondary caries. The purpose of this study was to compare the marginal fit of 2 different all-ceramic crown systems before and after porcelain veneering. This study was also intended to verify the marginal fit of crowns originated from green machining of partially sintered blocks of zirconia (Lava CAD/CAM system) and that of crowns obtained through machining of fully sintered blocks of zirconia (Digident CAD/CAM system). MATERIALS AND METHODS. 20 crowns were made per each system and the marginal fit was evaluated through a light microscope with image processing (Accura 2000) at 50 points that were randomly selected. Each crown was measured twice: the first measurement was done after obtaining a 0.5 mm coping and the second measurement was done after porcelain veneering. The means and standard deviations were calculated and statistical inferences among the 2 groups were made using independent t-test and within the same group through paired t-test. RESULTS. The means and standard deviations of the marginal fit were $61.52{\pm}2.88{\mu}m$ for the Digident CAD/CAM zirconia ceramic crowns before porcelain veneering and $83.15{\pm}3.51{\mu}m$ after porcelain veneering. Lava CAD/CAM zirconia ceramic crowns showed means and standard deviations of $62.22{\pm}1.78{\mu}m$ before porcelain veneering and $82.03{\pm}1.85{\mu}m$ after porcelain veneering. Both groups showed significant differences when analyzing the marginal gaps before and after porcelain veneering within each group. However, no significant differences were found when comparing the marginal gaps of each group before porcelain veneering and after porcelain veneering as well. CONCLUSION. The 2 all-ceramic crown systems showed marginal gaps that were within a reported clinically acceptable range of marginal discrepancy.

The post core system has been used for reconstructon of severely damaged crown by caries or trauma. But problems such as crown exfoliation, post core fracture and root fracture have been reported. Ideal mechanical properies of the post require high fracture strength, high elastic limit and high resistance against fatigue and corrosion Modulus of elasticity of the post should be similar with that of dentine. Low hardness is also required for the convenience of post removal in failure. Furthermore, the post itself must be translucent for the esthetical purpose. Several types of the post have been developed to satisfy the criteria above mentioned. The purpose of this study was to find out the mechanical properties of quartz fiber post by comparing with those of gold post and zirconia post. The results of this study were as follows : 1. Maximal fracture strength and stiffness of quartz fiber post were similar with those of gold post and zirconia post. 2. Young's modulus and hardness of quartz fiber post were lower than those of gold post and zirconia post. Mechanical property of quartz fiber post against post fracture was similar with that of gold post and zirconia post. Mechanical property of quartz fiber post against root fracture was higher than that of gold post and zirconia post. Quartz fiber post could be removed easily due to low hardness.

PURPOSE. This study aimed to evaluate the maximum vertical wear, volume wear, and surface characteristic of antagonist enamel, opposing monolithic zirconia or lithium disilicate crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study comprised 24 participants (n = 12), who were randomly allocated to receive either a 5 mol% Y-TZP or a lithium disilicate crown in positions which would oppose the natural first molar tooth. The contralateral first molar along with its antagonist was considered as the enamel opposing natural enamel control. Data collection was performed using an intraoral scanner and polyvinylsiloxane impression. The means of the maximum vertical loss and the volume loss at the occlusal contact areas of the crowns and the various natural antagonists were measured by 3D comparison software. A scanning electron microscope was subsequently used to assess the wear characteristics. RESULTS. The one-year results from 22 participants (n = 11) indicated no significant differences when comparing the zirconia crown's antagonist enamel (40.28 ± 9.11 ㎛, 0.04 ± 0.02 mm³) and the natural enamel wear (38.91 ± 7.09 ㎛, 0.04 ± 0.02 mm³) (P > .05). Also, there is no significant differences between lithium disilicate crown's antagonist enamel (47.81 ± 9.41 ㎛, 0.04 ± 0.02 mm³) and the natural enamel wear (39.11 ± 7.90 ㎛, 0.04 ± 0.02 mm³) (P > .05). CONCLUSION. While some studies suggested that monolithic zirconia caused less wear on opposing enamel than lithium disilicate, this study found similar wear levels to enamel for both materials compared to natural teeth.
