Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate RPM maintenance in X-Smart according to the power supplied by the AC adapter and rechargeable battery. Five new X-Smart were used in this study. A handpiece with rubber disk which has reflective tape was mounted on the vice. To measure the RPM, a non-contact type digital tachometer was used. RPM measurements were recorded every 5 minutes to 180 minutes and repeated 3 times per motor from each power source. To evaluate a difference of the RPM changes, two-way repeated measures were performed using $SPSS^{TM}$ 14.0. All tests were conducted at the 95 percent confidence level. There was no significant difference in the RPM change between the power sources. Continuous use of X-Smart with a rechargeable battery for up to 180 minutes could be safely used as an endodontic wireless motor with a reliable RPM maintenance.

본 연구의 목적은 근관치료용 무선전기모터인 X-Smart의 지속적인 사용 시, 배터리전원과 AC 어댑터 전원일 때의 RPM의 유지를 평가하고자 하였다. X-Smart (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) 신품 5대를 사용하였다. 본체에 연결한 핸드피스를 바이스에 고정하고, RPM의 측정을 위한 반사지를 붙인 Disk를 장착하였다. 비접촉식 RPM측정기인 TM-5000을 사용하여 RPM을 측정하였다. 배터리 전원시의 RPM과 AC 어댑터 전원시의 RPM을 5분마다 180분에 걸쳐 측정하였고 각 전기모터마다 3회씩 반복하였다. $SPSS^{TM}$ 14.0을 이용하여 2요인 반복측정분석을 통해 각 전원별 전기모터에 따른 RPM 변화량과 전원의 종류에 따른 RPM 변화량의 상관관계를 95% 유의 수준에서 비교하였다. 전원의 종류와 관계없이 같은 전원에서 각 기기별 RPM 변화량은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았고, 전원의 종류에 따른 RPM 변화량의 차이는 90분 이후의 측정치에서 점진적으로 증대되는 것이 관찰되어지나 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과로, 배터리 전원의 무선전기모터로서의 X-Smart를 180분 이내로 연속사용 한다면, 신뢰성 있는 RPM 유지를 얻어 안전한 임상사용이 가능하리라 생각된다.
