Abstract
The objectives of this study were to examine the properties of fluoride-releasing resin composite restorative materials. Four commercially available compomer materials (Compoglass F: CF, $Dyract^{(R)}$ AP: DA, $Dyract^{(R)}$ flow: DF, F2000: FT) and one fluoride-releasing composite resin ($Tetric^{(R)}$ Ceram: TC) were selected as experimental materials. Rectangular-shaped tensile test specimens were fabricated in a teflon mold giving 5mm in gauge length and 2mm in thickness. Disk-shaped specimens were fabricated in the split teflon mold with diameter of 15mm and thickness of 1mm. After curing for an hour, specimens were immersed in deionized water at $37^{\circ}C{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. All specimens were thermocycled for 10,000 cycles with 15 seconds of dwelling time in each $5^{\circ}C$ and $55^{\circ}C$ water baths. Toothbrush abrasion test was conducted under a load of 1.5 N and the abraded surfaces were examined with surface roughness tester (SV-3000, Mitutoyo Co, Japan) and SEM (JSM-5800, JEOL, Japan). Fluoride recharging was done by toothbrushing for 3 min. using a fluoride toothpaste (Perio Alpine Herb, LG Household & Health Care, Korea). The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. The highest tensile strength value of 32.3 MPa was observed in TC group and the lowest value of 16.8 MPa was observed in CF group. The tensile strength of TC group was significantly higher than those of CF and DF groups (P<0.05). 2. The lowest Ra value of 0.287 was observed in TC group and the highest value of 1.516 was observed in FT group. The Ra value of FT group was significantly higher than other groups (P<0.05). 3. The abraded surfaces revealed the increase of surface roughness due to the protrusion and missing of filler particles. 4. The release of fluoride of compomers after tooth brushing by Perio Alpine Herb was initially large and then followed by small and continuously. But it remains small and constant in fluoride-releasing composite resin of TC. 5. The highest value of fluoride release after toothbrushing by Perio Alpine Herb was $2.064{\mu}g/cm^2$ in CF group and the lowest value was $0.1119{\mu}g/cm^2$ in TC group. The amount of fluoride release of CF group was significantly higher than other groups (P<0.05).
본 연구에서는 구강 환경과 유사한 조건에서 불소방출성을 보이는 콤포짓트 레진계 수복재의 내구성과 불소방출성을 조사하기 위해 4 종의 콤포머와 1 종의 불소방출성 콤포짓트 레진을 실험재료로 선택하고 $5^{\circ}C$와 $55^{\circ}C$ 수중에서의 열순환 처리 후의 인장강도, 열순환 처리 후 칫솔에 대한 작용력 1.5N으로 100,000회 칫솔질을 시행하였을 때의 표면조도 및 불소치약 칫솔질 후 $37^{\circ}C$ 수중에서의 불소이온 용출 양상을 조사한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 인장강도는 TC($Tetric^{(R)}$ Ceram)군에서 32.3 MPa, CF(Compoglass F)군에서 16.8 MPa이고, TC군과 DF($Dyract^{(R)}$ flow)군 및 CF군에서 유의한 차이를 보였다(P<0.05). 2. 칫솔질 마모시험 후의 표면조도 Ra는 TC군에서 0.287, FT(F2000)군에서 1.516이고, FT군과 나머지 시험군 사이에 유의한 차이를 보였다(P<0.05). 3. 칫솔질 마모시험 후의 표면에서는 필러의 돌출과 탈락 양상이 관찰되었다. 4. 불소치약 Perio Alpine Herb로 칫솔질 한 후 콤포머는 초기에 높은 용출을 보인 후 시간이 경과하면서 용출량이 감소하는 양상을 보였지만, 불소방출성 콤포짓트 레진의 TC군에서는 초기단계부터 낮으면서도 지속적인 용출을 보였다. 5. 불소치약 Perio Alpine Herb로 칫솔질 한 후 1시간이 경과하였을 때의 불소이온 용출량은 CF군에서 $2.064{\mu}g/cm^2$, TC 군에서 $0.1119{\mu}g/cm^2$이고, CF군의 용출량이 나머지 시험군에 비해 유의하게 높은 값을 보였다(P<0.05).
