PURPOSE. The porcelain fused to gold has been widely used as a restoration both with the natural esthetics of the porcelain and durability and marginal fit of metal casting. However, recently, due to the continuous rise in the price of gold, an interest towards materials to replace gold alloy is getting higher. This study compared the bond strength of porcelain to millingable palladium-silver (Pd-Ag) alloy, with that of 3 conventionally used metal-ceramic alloys. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Four types of metal-ceramic alloys, castable nonprecious nickel-chrome alloy, castable precious metal alloys containing 83% and 32% of gold, and millingable Pd-Ag alloy were used to make metal specimens (n=40). And porcelain was applied on the center area of metal specimen. Three-point bending test was performed with universal testing machine. The bond strength data were analyzed with a one-way ANOVA and post hoc Scheffe's tests (${\alpha}=.05$). RESULTS. The 3-point bending test showed the strongest ($40.42{\pm}5.72$ MPa) metal-ceramic bond in the nonprecious Ni-Cr alloy, followed by millingable Pd-Ag alloy ($37.71{\pm}2.46$ MPa), precious metal alloy containing 83% of gold ($35.89{\pm}1.93$ MPa), and precious metal alloy containing 32% of gold ($34.59{\pm}2.63$ MPa). Nonprecious Ni-Cr alloy and precious metal alloy containing 32% of gold showed significant difference (P<.05). CONCLUSION. The type of metal-ceramic alloys affects the bond strength of porcelain. Every metal-ceramic alloy used in this study showed clinically applicable bond strength with porcelain (25 MPa).

The surface of metals should be as smooth as possible for optimum comfort, oral hygiene, low plaque retention, and resistance to corrosion. In this study five specimens of each precious metal(type III gold alloy, ceramic gold alloy, and Ag-Pd alloy) were divided into five groups according to finishing and polishing procedures : group 1(sandblaster), group 2(group 1+stone), group 3(group 2+brown rubber), group 4(group 3+green rubber), and group 5(group 4+rouge). Six specimens of each non-precious metal(Co-Cr alloy, Ni-Cr alloy, and Co-Cr-Ti alloy) were divided into six groups: group 1(sandblaster), group 2(group 1+hard stone), group 3(group 2+electrolytic polisher), group 4(group 3+brown hard rubber point), group 5(group 4+green hard rubber point), and group 6(group 5+rouge). Considering factors affecting the rate of abrasion, the same dentist applied each finishing and polishing procedure. In addition, the surface roughness of enamel, resin, and porcelain was evaluated. The effect of finishing and polishing procedures on surface roughness of precious and non-precious metals, enamel, resin, and porcelain was evaluated by means of Atomic Force Microscope(AutoProbe CP. Park Scientific Instruments, U.S.A.) that can image the three dimensional surface profile and measure average surface roughness values of each sample at the same time. The obtained results were as follows : 1. According to finishing and polishing procedures, the surface roughness of type III gold alloy, ceramic gold alloy, and Ag-Pd alloy was decreased in the order of group 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (P<0.01). 2. According to finishing and polishing procedures. the surface roughness of Co-Cr alloy, Ni-Cr alloy, and Co-Cr-Ti alloy was decreased in the order of group 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (p<0.01). 3. There was not statistically significant difference in the surface roughness among three metals of precious metals in group 1 but was significant difference in group 2, 3, 4, and 5 (P<0.05). 4. There was not statistically significant difference in the surface roughness among three metals of non-precious metals in all groups. 5. When the surface roughness of the smoothest surface of each metal, enamel. porcelain, and resin was compared, porcelain was the smoothest and the surface roughness was decreased in the order of Ni-Cr alloy. Co-Cr alloy. Co-Cr-Ti alloy, resin. Ag-Pd alloy, ceramic gold alloy type III gold alloy, and enamel (P<0.01). The results of this study indicate that the finishing and polishing procedures should be carried out in a logical, systematic sequence of steps and the harder non-precious metals may be less resistance to abrasion than are the softer precious metals.

Purpose: Heat pressed ceramics, used for all ceramic restorations, have the additional advantage of being technically less change through using of the lost-wax technique. Conceptually, combining the ceramic with the clinically proven reinforcing ability of a metal framework would be advantageous; however, cause of mismatching of fusion between ceramics and metal frameworks which from differences of casting temperature and coefficient of thermal expansion, pressed ceramics could not be used with a metal framework. The purpose of this study was to compare shear bond strength of press-to metal ceramic to porcelain fused non precious metal and feldspatic porcelain fused non precious metal. Methods: The 30 metal specimens were casted in a porcelain fused non precious metal nickel-chromium alloy. They were divided into 3 groups by surface treatment and applied ceramic: $125{\mu}m$ aluminium oxide sandblasting and veneered feldspatic porcelain (group FP), $125{\mu}m$ aluminium oxide sandblasting and had press-to-metal ceramic applied (group PC), porcelain bonder (gold bonder) fused on surface of metal specimens and had press-to-metal ceramic applied (group PCG). In each group 10 metal specimens were used. The press-to-metal ceramic applied 20 specimens had ash-free wax pattern applied, the metal-wax complexes invested, and were pressed with heat press ceramic.

본 연구는 도재소부용 비귀금속에 Au 코팅 층을 형성하고, Au 코팅 층이 금속-도재의 결합력에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 2출 굴곡 시험 후에 SEM/EDS 방법으로 조사하여 비교하였다. 1. Ni-Cr ally 군과 Co-Cr alloy 군, 그리고 Ti 군의 절단면 시편의 전자현미경 사진에서 Au 코팅 층은 산화층의 확산을 제어하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 2. 2축 굴곡 시험 후에 EDS 분석 결과 Ni-Cr alloy 군과 Co-Cr alloy 군에서 Si 함량은 Au 코팅 층을 형성한 시편에서 약간 감소하였고, 결합실패의 형태는 cohesive failure와 adhesive failure가 혼재된 양상으로 관찰되었다. 3. Ni-Cr alloy 군과 Co-Cr alloy 군에서 Au 코팅 층은 도재-금속 결합력에 미치는 영향은 미미하였다. 4. Ti 군의 결합실패 형태는 Ni-Cr alloy 군과 Co-Cr alloy 군에 비해서 adhesive failure 양상이 두드러지게 관찰되었고, Au 코팅 층은 도재-금속 결합력에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이상의 결과 비귀금속에 적용한 Au 코팅은 산화층의 확산을 제어 하는 것으로 관찰 되었으나, 금속-도재 간의 결합력 증징에 미치는 효과는 미미하였다. Au 코팅을 이용하여 금속-도재 간의 결합력 증진을 위해서는 많은 연구가 지속되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength of using a Au bonding agent applied on cp-Ti and nonprecious metal-gold-ceramic system. Metallic frameworks(diameter: 5mm, height: 20mm)(N=56, n=7per group) cast in Ni-Cr alloy, Co-Cr alloy and cp-Ti were obtained using acrylic templates and airborne particle abraded with $110{\mu}m$ aluminum oxide. Au bonding agent was applied on wash opaque firing as intermediate layer. SEM and SEM/EDS line profile were performed on the cutting the cross-section of the metal substrate-porcelain with intermediate Au coating. Groups were tested using shear bond strength(SBS) testing at 0.5mm/min. The mean SBS values for the ceramic-Au layer-metal combination were significantly higher than those ceramic-metal combination. While ceramic-Au layer-cp-Ti combinations failed to increase bond strength instead of using a titanium bonding porcelain. The appication of using Au intermediate layer significantly improve the bond strength combination with metal-ceramic system.

This study investigated the mechanical properties of precious metal-ceramic alloy joined by the laser-welding and the soldering compared with the parent metal. Twenty-four tensile specimens were cast in precious metal-ceramic alloy and divided into three groups of eight. All specimens in the control group(group 1) were left in the as-cast condition. Group 2 and 3 were the test specimens, which were sectioned at the center. Eight of sectioned specimens were joined by soldering with a propane-oxygen torch, and the remaining specimens were joined by laser-welding. After joining, each joint diameter was measured, and then tested to tensile failure on an Instron machine. Failure loads were recorded, and then fracture stress(ultimate tensile strength), 0.2% yield strength and % elongation calculated. These data for three groups were subjected to a one-way analysis of variance(ANOVA). Neuman-Keuls post hoc test was then used to determine any significant differences between groups. The fracture locations, fracture surfaces were examined by SEM(scanning electron microscope). The results were as follows: 1) The tensile strength and 0.2% yield strength of the soldered group($280.28{\pm}49.35MPa$, $160.24{\pm}26.67MPa$) were significantly less than both the as-cast group($410.99{\pm}13.07MPa$, $217.82{\pm}17.99MPa$) and the laser-welded group($383.56{\pm}59.08MPa$, $217.18{\pm}12.96MPa$). 2) The tensile strength and 0.2% yield strength of the laser-welded group were about each 98%, 99.7% of the as-cast group. There were no statistically significant differences in these two groups(p<0.05). 3) The percentage elongations of the soldered group($3.94{\pm}2.32%$) and the laser-welded group($5.06{\pm}1.08%$) were significantly less than the as-cast group($14.25{\pm}4.05%$) (p<0.05). 4) The fracture of the soldered specimens occurred in the solder material and many porosities were showed at the fracture site. 5) The fracture of the laser-welded specimens occurred also in the welding area, and lack of fusion and a large void was observed at the center of the fracture surface. However, the laser-welded specimens showed a ductile failure mode like the as- cast specimens. The results of this study indicated that the tensile strengths of the laser-welded joints were comparable to those of the as-cast joints and superior to those of the soldered joints.

The opaque porcelain layer of porcelain-fused-to-metal(PFM) restoration is critical for the success of PFM restoration because it is the first layer placed over the treated alloy. But, the methods of opaquing technique have not been confirmed. Usually, the one layer method and two layer method have been used for the application of opaque porcelain. In the past, alloys with porcelain veneers which have been used successfully have contained various precious metals. Recent increase in the cost of precious metals stimulates considerable interest in nonprecious alloys. Although nickel-chromium alloys and nickel-chromium-beryllium alloys have been widely used, the use of cobalt-chromium alloys would be gradually increased with elimination of any potential risk of nickel-related allergic responses and/or beryllium-related toxic responses. This investigation examined one- and two-layer opaque porcelain applications to determine the effect on the bond strength of titanium added cobalt-chromium metal ceramic alloy. Bond strength of Ceramco II porcelain to titanium added cobalt-chromium alloy(2Dentitan) and gold-platinum-palladium alloy(Degudent H) were evaluated by direct shear bond strength test with Instron universal testing machine. The results were as follows; 1. When the mean shear bond strength of each experimental group were compared in $0.25cm^2$ unit area, the titanium added cobalt-chromium alloy/two layer method exhibited the greatest strength(79.7kg), followed by titanium added cobalt-chromium alloy/one layer method(76.2kg), gold-platinum-palladium alloy/two layer method(71.4kg), gold-platinum-palladium alloy/one layer method(64.2kg). 2. No significant differences in bond strength were recorded between the two opaquing techniques for gold-platinum-palladium alloy and titanium added cobalt-chromium alloy. 3. No significant differences in bond strength were recorded between the gold-platinum-palladium alloy and the titanium added cobalt-chromium alloy.

연구 목적: 이 연구의 목적은 실란과 인산 모노머를 혼합한 프라이머인 Monobond plus (Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein)를 사용했을 때 레진 시멘트와 수복물 간의 전단 결합 강도가 귀금속, 비귀금속, 글라스 세라믹과 지르코니아 네 가지 재료 모두에서 기존의 프라이머를 사용했을 때의 결합 강도와 비교하여 유의한지 평가하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 디스크 모양(${\phi}\;9mm{\times}3mm$)의 귀금속(Argedent Euro) 시편 16개, 비귀금속(T-4) 시편 20개, 지르코니아(Cercon) 시편 20개, 글라스 세라믹(IPS e.max press) 시편 20개를 제작한 후 아크릴릭 레진(${\phi}\;15mm{\times}15mm$)에 포매하였다. 귀금속 시편에 airborne-particle abrasion을 시행하고 대조군으로 사용한 8개 시편에는 귀금속용 프라이머(Metal primer II)를, 나머지 8개 시편에는 Monobond plus를 도포하였다. 비귀금속 시편과 지르코니아 시편은 airborne-particle abrasion 후 각각 두 그룹으로 나누어 대조군 10개 시편에는 비귀금속 및 지르코니아용 프라이머(Alloy primer)를, 나머지 10개에는 Monobond plus를 도포하였다. 글라스 세라믹 시편은 4% 불산으로 부식한 후, 대조군 10개 시편에는 실란(Monobond-S)을, 나머지 10개에는 Monobond plus를 적용했다. 표면 처리된 시편 위에 디스크 형태(${\phi}\;5mm{\times}2mm$)로 레진 시멘트(Multilink N)를 위치시키고 중합하였다. 제작된 모든 시편을 열순환($5^{\circ}C$와 $55^{\circ}C$, 1분씩 2060회)시킨 후 전단 결합 강도를 측정하였다. 전단 결합 강도의 유의차를 살펴보기 위해 Shapiro-Wilk test를 이용하여 모집단의 분포에 대한 검정을 하고 그 결과에 따라 Two sample $t$-test 또는 Mann-Whitney U test를 실시하였다(${\alpha}$=.05). 파절된 시편을 확대경으로 관찰하여 그 양상을 분류하였다. 결과: 귀금속과 글라스 세라믹 군에서는 두 프라이머간의 전단 결합 강도에 유의한 차이가 존재하지 않았으나($P$>.05) 비귀금속 군과 지르코니아 군에서는 기존 프라이머(Alloy primer)를 사용했을 때 레진 시멘트와 수복물간의 전단 결합 강도가 Monobond plus를 사용한 군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다(비귀금속 군$P$=.004, 지르코니아 군$P$=.001). 결론: 실란과 인산 모노머를 혼합한 다용도 프라이머는 귀금속과 글라스 세라믹 군에서는 기존의 프라이머를 대신하여 사용할 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 비귀금속과 지르코니아 세라믹에서는 10-MDP 프라이머에 비해 접착 강도가 낮아 기존 프라이머를 대신하여 적용하기 위해서는 좀 더 연구가 필요할 것이다.
