Abstract

The object of this study was to find out the effect of various reinforcing materials including Quarts Splint$^{TM}$ Mesh on the transverse strength of the denture resin. QC-20 and Lucitone199$^{(R)}$ were used as the denture resin, and polyethylene fiber Ribbond$^{(R)}$, light curing quarts fiber Quarts Splint$^{TM}$ Mesh, metal mesh were used as the reinforcing materials. Ten specimens were fabricated for each group and the size of specimens was $2.0{\times}10.0{\times}65.0mm$. To compare the effect of resin thickness, additional specimens of $2.5{\times}10.0{\times}65.0mm$, $3.0{\times}10.0{\times}65.0mm$ were fabricated. In the control group, the transverse strength of Lucitone199$^{(R)}$ was significantly higher than that of QC-20(p<0.05). Among the specimens of 2.0 mm thickness fabricated with $Lucitone199^{(R)}$ and QC-20, they showed high transverse strength in the order of metal mesh, Quarts Splint$^{TM}$ Mesh, Ribbond$^{(R)}$, and control group. In the specimens of 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm thickness, the transverse strength of Quarts Splint$^{TM}$ Mesh were significantly higher than that of QC-20(p<0.05). But in the specimens of 3.0 mm thickness, there was no significant difference.

본 연구에서는 광중합형 석영 섬유인Quarts Splint$^{TM}$ Mesh를 중심으로 다양한 강화재의 의치상 보강 효과에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 의치상 레진으로 Lucitone199$^{(R)}$와 QC-20을 사용하였으며 강화재로 폴리에틸렌 섬유인 Ribbond$^{(R)}$, Quarts Splint$^{TM}$ Mesh, 금속 격자 강화재를 사용하였다. $2.0{\times}10.0{\times}65.0mm$ 시편을 각각 10개씩 제작하였으며 $2.5{\times}10.0{\times}65.0mm$, $3.0{\times}10.0{\times}65.0mm$ 시편도 제작하였다. Lucitone199$^{(R)}$ 레진은 QC-20 레진보다 높은 굽힘강도를 나타내었으며, 대조군에서 유의차를 나타내었다(p<0.05). Lucitone199$^{(R)}$ 및 QC-20 레진으로 제작한 2.0 mm 두께 시편에서 굽힘강도는 금속 격자 강화재, Quarts Splint$^{TM}$ Mesh, Ribbond$^{(R)}$, 대조군 순으로 감소되었다. Lucitone199$^{(R)}$ 레진을 이용하여 제작한 두께 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm 시편에서 Quarts Splint$^{TM}$ Mesh로 보강한 군은 대조군보다 유의하게 높은 굽힘강도를 나타내었으며(p<0.05), 두께 3.0 mm 시편에서는 유의차가 없었다.
