심미성 복합레진은 자연 치질을 보존시키며 나아가 잔존 치질의 강도를 강화시켜 준다. 복합레진 수복시 더 많은 치질을 남기기 위해 첨와 (undercut) 형태의 교합면 치질을 남긴 채 복합레진으로 수복하는 경우가 많으나, 어느 정도 강도가 복원되는지에 대해서는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 첨와 형태의 와동을 잔존 치질의 두께 (법랑질 / 법랑질과 상아질)에 따라 형성하고 복합레진으로 충전한 경우, 수복된 치아의 파절 저항성을 손상이 없는 자연치와 비교평가하였다. 상악 대구치 40개의 교합면을 편평하게 삭제한 후 방사선 사진에서 치수각의 위치를 확인하였다. 대상 치아를 각 10개씩 4개군으로 분류하였으며, 1$\sim$3군은 실험군으로 모두 협측에 깊이 7 mm, 근원심 폭경 5 mm의 첨와 형태 와동을 형성하였고, 와동저에서 치수각까지의 거리를 약 0.5 mm로 유지하였으며 교합면쪽의 치질 두께를 달리하였다. 1군은 법랑질과 소량의 상아질로 구성된 치질 두께를 1 mm, 2군은 법랑질과 상아질의 두께를 1.5 mm, 3군은 법랑질과 상아질의 두께를 2 mm가 되도록 하였고, 4군은 건전한 자연치를 와동형성 없이 대조군으로 사용하였다. 두께 측정은 방사선 사진을 스캔한 후 길이 확대 프로그램을 이용하였다. 각 와동을 37% 인산으로 산부식한 다음 단일병 접착제 Single $Bond^{TM}$ (3M/ESPE, USA)를 적용하였고 혼합형 복합레진 Filtek $SZ-250^{TM}$ (3M/ESPE, USA)을 사용하여 적층 충전하였다. 치아를 실온에서 증류수에 24시간 동안 보관한 다음 Sof-Lex system (3M/ESPE, USA)을 사용하여 연마하였다. 이후 자가중합형 레진에 교합면을 기저부에 평행한 상태로 치근부를 매몰한 다음 Universal testing machine (Zwick Z010, Germany)에서 지름 3 mm의 staineless steel rod를 1 mm/min의 cross-head speed로 하중을 가하여 파절 강도를 측정하였다. 통계 분석은 95% 유의 수준의 One-way ANOVA와 Tukey test를 이용하였으며 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 와동 형성 후 복합레진을 수복한 군들은 대조군에 비해 약 75%의 파절 강도를 보였다. 2. 교합면쪽 잔존 치질의 두께에 따른 파절 저항은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다 (p > 0.05). 복합레진을 이용하여 첨와 형태의 와동을 수복한 후 파절 강도를 측정한 결과 건전 치아보다는 강도가 낮았지만, 상부의 잔존 치질이 대부분 법랑질로 이루어진 경우에도 복합 레진으로 수복하면 건전 치아 파절 강도의 75%까지 유지할 수 있다는 결론을 얻었다.

Background: Smoking exerts an adverse effect on the periodontal tissue by reorganizing the ecosystem of oral microorganisms and is considered to be an important factor in the development of periodontal disease. Although cross-sectional studies on smokers and non-smokers have been attempted to investigate the microbial differences in periodontal oral cavity, only few studies have been conducted to investigate the changes in oral microorganisms during smoking cessation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of bacteria in saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) over a period of one year among 11 smokers trying to quit smoking. Methods: Eleven smokers trying to quit smoking visited the clinic at baseline, two weeks, two months, four months, six months, and 12 months to give saliva and GCF samples. The amounts of 16S rRNA, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, Prevotella intermedia, Fusobacterium nucleatum subsp. nucleatum, Streptococcus mutans, and Streptococcus sobrinus in saliva and GCF were quantified using real-time polymerase chain reaction TaqMan probe assay. The results were analyzed by nonparametric statistical analysis using Friedman test and Spearman correlation coefficient. Results: After cessation of smoking, the amounts of 16S rRNA corresponding to P. gingivalis, F. nucleatum, P. intermedia, and T. denticola in saliva decreased and then again increased significantly. The amount of F. nucleatum 16S rRNA in GCF decreased significantly after smoking cessation. Positive correlations were observed between 16S rRNA and F. nucleatum and between F. nucleatum and T. denticola in saliva and GCF. Conclusion: Even if the number of subjects in this study was small, we suggest that smoking cessation may reduce the total bacterial amount and F. nucleatum in GCF. However, the results regarding changes in the microbial ecosystem due to smoking or smoking cessation were inconsistent. Therefore, further in-depth studies need to be carried out.

The present paper aims at evaluating damage and collapse behavior of low-rise buildings with unidirectional mass irregularities in plan (torsional buildings). In previous earthquake events, such buildings have been exposed to extensive damages and even total collapse in some cases. To investigate the performance and collapse behavior of such buildings from probabilistic points of view, three-dimensional three and six-story reinforced concrete models with unidirectional mass eccentricities ranging from 0% to 30% and designed with modern seismic design code provisions specific to intermediate ductility class were subjected to nonlinear static as well as extensive nonlinear incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) under a set of far-field real ground motions containing 21 two-component records. Performance of each model was then examined by means of calculating conventional seismic design parameters including the response reduction (R), structural overstrength (${\Omega}$) and structural ductility (${\mu}$) factors, calculation of probability distribution of maximum inter-story drift responses in two orthogonal directions and calculation collapse margin ratio (CMR) as an indicator of performance. Results demonstrate that substantial differences exist between the behavior of regular and irregular buildings in terms of lateral load capacity and collapse margin ratio. Also, results indicate that current seismic design parameters could be non-conservative for buildings with high levels of plan eccentricity and such structures do not meet the target "life safety" performance level based on safety margin against collapse. The adverse effects of plan irregularity on collapse safety of structures are more pronounced as the number of stories increases.

In cold-formed steel (CFS) structures, such as trusses, transmission towers and portal frames, the use of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections are becoming increasingly popular. In such an arrangement, intermediate welds or screw fasteners are required at discrete points along the length, preventing the angle sections from buckling independently. Limited research is available in the literature on axial strength of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections. The issue is addressed herein. This paper presents an experimental investigation reported by the authors on back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections with intermediate stiffeners under axial compression. The load-axial shortening behaviour along with the deformed shapes at failure are reported. A nonlinear finite element (FE) model was then developed, which includes material non-linearity, geometric imperfections and modelling of intermediate fasteners. The FE model was validated against the experimental test results, which showed good agreement, both in terms of failure loads and deformed shapes at failure. The validated finite element model was then used for the purpose of a parametric study comprising 96 models to investigate the effect of longer to shorter leg ratios, stiffener provided in the longer leg, thicknesses and lengths on axial strength of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections. Four different thicknesses and seven different lengths (stub to slender columns) with three overall widths to the overall depth (B/D) ratios were investigated in the parametric study. Axial strengths obtained from the experimental tests and FE analyses were used to assess the performance of the current design guidelines as per the Direct Strength Method (DSM); obtained comparisons show that the current DSM is conservative by only 7% and 5% on average, while predicting the axial strengths of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections with and without the stiffener, respectively.
