Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigated the surface roughness and change in the amount of adhesion of Streptococcus mutans to the commercial pit and fissure sealant containing cerium oxide nano particles(CNPs). Methods: The CNPs was incorporated into a commercial pit and fissure sealant at 0-4.0 wt%. Disk Specimens (ϕ 10 mm × 2 mm) were prepared by light polymerization the front and back for 40s. Average surface roughness was measured and Streptococcus mutans adhesion was observed under confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) after 24 hour. Data were statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD^a post-hoc test. Results: Difference of the surface roughness(Ra) between groups was not statistically significant in both non CNPs group and CNPs group(p>0.05). In CNPs group, the amount of S. mutans adhesion was significantly different between control group and decreased in order of CNPs 4.0, CNPs 0.5, CNPs 1.0 and CNPs 2.0(p<0.05). Conclusions: Within the limitation of this study, these aspects of oral bacteria performances suggest potential usefulness of the CNPs incorporation, especially CNPs 1% and 2%, in pit and fissure sealant for inducing antibacterial effect.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate of the color change, tooth surface and intra-pulpal temperature of tooth bleaching by light activation Methods : Forty-eight extracted bovine teeth were immersed into a tea solution for 24 hours. The specimens were randomly divided into four groups(n=15):(G1) 15% HP + without light activation, (G2) 15% HP + light activation, (G3) 25% HP + without light activation, (G4) 25% HP + light activation. All specimens were bleached for 15 minutes three times. The spectrophotometer (CM-2600d, Konica Minolta, Osaka, Japan) was used including before bleaching, immediately after bleaching, 1 week, 1 and 3 months after the end of bleaching. The temperature rise were measured in the pulpal chamber and tooth surface with a digital thermocouple thermometer(Termopar Digital Multimeter, Tektronix DMM916, USA). Between the tested time points, the specimens were stored in distilled water. The data were analyzed by ANOVA, t-test and Tukey's post hoc test set at 0.05. Results : There was no significant color change by the use of light after the bleaching treatment(p>0.05). The dental bleaching treatments of teeth with 15% HP and 25% HP did not seem to be more effective when light source was used. There was no difference in color stability between groups within three month(p>0.05). There was an increase in tooth surface and pulp temperature, but it was not sufficient to cause damage to the pulp. Conclusions :The use of light activation has no obvious effective impact on the tooth bleaching effect.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of commercially available calamansi soju and other alcoholic beverages on the microhardness and erosion of resin restorations. Methods: In this study, we evaluated the effects of Calamansi soju, Chamisul fresh, Cass fresh, and Gancia Moscato D'asti on resin restorations. Jeju Samdasoo and Coca-Cola were used as negative and positive controls, respectively. Specimens to be immersed in the beverages were manufactured using composite resin according to the product instructions. In each group, the surface microhardness was measured using a surface microhardness instrument before and after immersion for 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes. The pattern of change in the surface of the composite resin was observed under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Paired t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and repeated measures ANOVA were performed to compare the surface microhardness of the specimens, and the Tukey test was used as a post hoc test. Results: The pH of all beverages except Jeju Samdasoo was <5.5, which is the critical pH that can induce erosion. The difference in surface microhardness of the composite resin before and after immersion for 60 minutes was significant in all groups. In particular, the largest change in surface microhardness was observed in the calamansi soju group. In the SEM analysis, loss of composite resin was observed in all groups except the Jeju Samdasoo group, and rough surfaces with pores of various sizes were observed. Conclusion: In this study, all beverages except Jeju Samdasoo decreased the microhardness of the composite resin surface, and it was confirmed that calamansi soju had the greatest change.

When exposed to different types of bacteria in the oral cavity, denture based resins are prone to bacteria attachment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the physical, biological, and antimicrobial properties of denture base resins coated with Peony extract (200, 400, and 600 ㎍/mL). Specifically, the surface properties (microhardness, contact angle, and color change of the coated specimens), cell cytotoxicity (measured using MTT assay), and antimicrobial activity (against S. mutans (Streptococcus mutans) and C. albicans (Candida albicans) using a growth inhibition assay) were evaluated. The polyphenol content was measured using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrometry. The experimental groups (specimens coated with Peony extract) and a control group (specimens coated without Peony extract) were statistically compared using a one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post-hoc tests. No statistically significant differences in surface properties or cell cytotoxicity were observed, which demonstrated their biocompatibility. Conversely, a statistically significant difference in antimicrobial activity was observed between the experimental and control groups after 48 h. This confirms the antimicrobial activity of the denture base resin coated with Peony extract and demonstrates that it is a promising dental material for preventing stomatitis.

Among the components of disposable diaper, the top sheet contacting with baby skin directly is usually made of nonwoven fabrics. Therefore, the tactile properties of the nonwoven fabrics are important for the skin health of infants. In this study, we have explored the surface properties of hygiene nonwoven fabrics (100% cotton spunlace, 100% tencel spunlace, 100% polypropylene (PP) thermalbonding and 100% PP Thru-air bonded carded web (TABCW)), such as friction coefficient and geometrical roughness. used by KES-F system and a laser displacement sensor. Also, we evaluated the subjective responses about the hygiene nonwoven fabrics used by a questionnaire and compared with the objective values, measured by KES-F system and a laser displacement sensor respectively. From the result, we have found that surface sensation (such as soft, smooth, and rough) and bulkiness sensation (such as spongy and fluffy) of nonwovens were represented excellently by L-SMD values which are measured by a laser displacement sensor.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet(NTAPPJ) on surface properties and Streptococcus mutans disinfection of denture base resin. Methods : Self-cured denture base resin (Jet denture repair resin, Lang dental Mfg, co., USA) was used to make specimen($12mm{\times}2mm$). To observe surface change before and after plasma process, surface roughness and contact angle were measured. For sterilization experiments, the surfaces of specimens were treated with nitrogen and air NTAPPJ for 1 minute after S. mutans was inoculated on the material surfaces. Results : Before plasma process, surface roughness of denture base resin was $0.21{\mu}m{\pm}0.02{\mu}m$. After air and nitrogen NTAPPJ process, surface roughness was $0.19{\mu}m{\pm}0.03{\mu}m$ and $0.18{\mu}m{\pm}0.01{\mu}m$ respectively. There was no significant difference(p>0.05). Contact angle of control group without plasma process was $83.81^{\circ}{\pm}3.14^{\circ}$, while after plasma treatment, contact angles of air NTAPPJ and nitrogen NTAPPJ groups were $63.29^{\circ}{\pm}2.27^{\circ}$ and $46.68^{\circ}{\pm}5.82^{\circ}$ respectively. The result showed a significant decrease in contact angle after plasma process(p<0.05). Compared to the control group 6020.33(CFU/mL) without plasma process, CFU decreased significantly after air NTAPPJ 90.75(CFU/mL) and nitrogen NTAPPJ 80.25(CFU/mL) treatment(p<0.05). Conclusions : It was considered that NTAPPJ can be used for denture disinfection without changing surface properties of materials.

최근 구강관리에 대한 관심이 증가하면서 시판되고 있는 구강양치용액의 종류도 다양해지고 있고 휴대가 간편하여 쉬운 사용방법으로 활용이 급진적으로 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 시판 중인 구강양치용액의 pH를 측정하여 고유 산도가 법랑질 표면의 색조변화, 미세경도, 미세구조 변화, 거칠기 측정 등에 관한 실험방법을 통하여 구강양치용액의 효과를 평가하였다. 1. 색조변화는 Nextcare와 Listerine에서 light-dark를 나타내는 $L^*$값은 0에 가깝게 어두워졌으며 yellow-blue를 나타내는 $b^*$값은 초기값과 비교하여 채도가 낮아졌다. 특히 Listerine에서 ${\Delta}L^*$, ${\Delta}b^*$ 각각 -6.70, -7.20으로 가장 큰 변화를 보였다. 2. 표면경도 측정에서는 Nextcare와 Listerine에서 모두 통계적으로 유의한 감소를 보였다(p<0.05). 또한 표면의 형상과 거칠기에서도 Nextcare와 Listerine에서 다른 실험군과 비교하여 법랑질 표면의 붕괴 및 침식양상과 함께 거칠기가 매우 높아졌음을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로, 현재 시판 중인 구강양치용액의 pH를 측정하여 고유 산도가 치아 경조직에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아본 결과, 산성의 pH를 가진 구강양치용액을 장기간 사용시 치면 착색 및 법랑질 표면의 영향을 줄 수 있으므로 적절한 사용법을 숙지하여 단기간 사용하는 것이 안전할 것으로 사료된다.

어린이 해열 진통제 중 안전상비의약품 3종을 유치에 적용하여 시간 경과에 따른 유치의 표면과 경도변화를 SEM과 EDX로 비교 분석하여 부식 가능성을 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 유치 법랑질 표면미세경도 측정 결과, 처리 전은 모든 군에서 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았으나(p>0.01), 3일, 5일, 8일 경과 후 각군 간에서는 유의한 차이를 나타냈다(p<0.01). EDX를 이용하여 Ca과 P의 정량분석 결과, 유치 법랑질 기질 내 Ca은 8일 경과 후 각 군 간에서는 유의한 차이가 나타났고(p<0.05), P은 모든 군에서 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다(p>0.05). SEM을 이용하여 유치 표면을 관찰한 결과, pH가 가장 낮은 어린이용 타이레놀 정이 표면 거칠기가 가장 심한 것으로 관찰되었고, 다음으로 어린이 부루펜 시럽, 어린이 타이레놀 현탁액, 증류수 순이었다. 이상의 연구 결과를 통해 pH가 낮은 어린이 해열 진통제는 법랑질 표면에 치아 부식을 일으킬 수 있는 가능성이 있고, Ca과 P의 소실은 치아우식증에 이환될 수도 있다. 따라서 어린이 해열 진통제 투약 시 유 아동은 칫솔질과 같은 구강위생관리가 필요하다고 생각된다. 또한 제약회사에서는 이러한 약품들을 복용한 유 아동들이 구강위생조치를 할 수 있도록 약품 내 주의사항 안내서에 치아부식 가능성을 고지해야할 것으로 생각된다.
