The aim of this study was to assess change of the oral health related quality of life after fixed prosthetic treatment using implant therapy. One hundreds and twenty patients from 3 dental clinics in Seoul, Incheon and Daegu were recruited after verbal consent. The oral health related quality of life by OHIP-14, the treatment satisfaction by North Texas Periodontal Associates and the oral health interest w+ere measured before fixed prosthetic treatment using implant and one months after prosthetics. Total OHIP-14 changed significantly between pre- and post- treatment (p<0.001). Although gender(p=0.01), economic status (p=0.04) and education status (p=0.01) affect to OHIP-14 significantly before treatment, these factors didn't have effects on OHIP-14 after treatment. The subjective satisfaction in masticatory function, social function and psychological function increased significantly after treatment (p<0.001). Besides, the patients' oral health interests increased significantly after treatment (p<0.001). The fixed prosthetic treatment using implant therapy can improve the oral health related quality of life, subjective satisfaction of mastication, social function and psychological function, and oral health interest of dental patients.

고정체 나사산 형상이 식립된 고정체를 둘러싸고 있는 턱 뼈에서 발생된 응력분포에 미치는 영향과 효과적인 나사산 형상을 결정하기 위해서 다양한 치아 고정체 형상에 대해서 응력해석을 수행하였다. 나사산 골 한쪽 부위에 라운딩이 된 형상의 고정체에서 발생된 응력분포는 다른 나사산 형상의 고정체에서 발생된 응력분포보다 더 효과적으로 나타났다. 이 해석 결과를 근거로 최적의 고정체 치수를 결정하기 위해서 나사산 끝단의 폭, 나사산 높이, 그리고 가해지는 하중의 방향 등과 같은 설계 변수의 변화에 따른 응력해석이 수행되었다. 최대 응력 집중은 고정체 나사산의 첫단 부위에서 발생하였으며, 100 N의 15도 경사하중이 가해졌을 때 발생된 최대 등가응력은 동일 크기의 수식하중보다 2배 정도 더 높게 나타났다. 그리고 나사산 끝단의 폭과 나사산 높이 사이의 연관성에 관련된 해석결과에서 나사산 끝단의 폭과 나사산 높이 사이의 연관성 효과는 무시할 만큼 작다는 것을 알았다. 고정체의 나사산 피치에 대한 나사산 끝단의 폭의 비와 나사산 높이의 비가 각각 0.5와 0.46일 때 다른 고정체의 치수들보다 더 효과적인 응력분포가 나타났다

In this paper, I introduce what Boundary-Shifting theories of vagueness (or Contextualism about vagueness) are and what the Context-Fixing Argument is, which is the most powerful and plausible objection to Boundary-Shifting theories. The basic idea of the Context-Fixing Argument is that vagueness still remains even if we hold the context fixed. Many objections based on this simple idea can be found in the literature on Boundary-Shifting theories. It seems that, without a convincing response to the Context-Fixing Argument, Boundary-Shifters must be in trouble. But, oddly, defenders of Boundary Shifters have said very little about this matter. In this situation, ${\AA}$kerman and Greenough try to defend Boundary-Shifting theories of vagueness by suggesting several answers. In this paper, I critically examine their suggestions and develop a new answer to the Context-Fixing Argument.

Methyl fructoside was synthesized from sucrose and methanol using an immobilized invertase. The enzyme was covalently bound by glutaraldehyde on porous silica coated with polyethyleneimine to give loading capacity of 120mg of invertase per one gram of dry porous silica and effective activity of 100U per one milligram of bound invertase. Polyethyleneimine coating imparted a hydrophillic character, good activity retention and high loading capacity to the surface of porous silica as well as hydrophillic microenviroment in the vicinity of bound invertase. The immobilized enzyme was formed into an alginate-enclosed silica bead to have enough activity for methyl fructoside synthesis from aqueous methanol-sucrose solution. Using the alginate-enclosed biocatalyst the yield of methyl fructoside was obtained as high as 55.9% from aqueous 30% (v/v) methanol and 0.291mo1/l sucrose with 2U/ml activity at $25^{\circ}C$, pH 4.8.

As a high-performance polymer, Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) has good biocompatibility and excellent physical properties and is used in several areas, including dentistry. Many successful cases of implant-supported fixed prostheses with a PEKK framework have been reported; however, a long-term observation of the reported cases and discussion of complications are not available. In this case report, we present three cases of implant-supported fixed prostheses with a PEKK framework veneered with composite resin, lithium disilicate crown, and high-impact polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and discuss their 6-year follow-up results.

3D 방송서비스를 위해 다양한 방식이 제안되어 왔으며 최근에는 주파수 효율성을 극대화한 방식인 고정 및 이동 방송 융합형 3DTV 방송 방식이 북미 표준으로 채택되었다. 고정 및 이동 방송 융합형 3DTV 방송 방식은 기존의 고정 방송 및 이동 방송망을 활용하여 좌안 영상과 우안 영상 스트림을 전송하는 방식이며, 3D 방송서비스 제공을 위해 별도의 주파수 할당을 할 필요가 없으므로 높은 주파수 효율성을 제공할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 ATSC의 고정 및 이동 방송 규격과 DVB T2의 고정 및 이동 방송 규격의 차이를 시그널링 정보 전송 관점에서 분석하고 고정 및 이동 방송 융합형 3DTV 서비스를 DVB T2 방송환경에서 제공하기 위한 시그널링 방식을 제안한다.

The kinetic characteristics of an invertase immobilized covalently on porous silica have been appraised for the applicability of porous silica to immobilization supports of enzymes. The invertase was covalently bound with glutaraldehyde on 3-aminopropyltriethoxy-silane-activated porous silica to give a maximum loading of 120mg invertase per 1 gram of dry silica and 26.9 to 70.2% retention of original activity. The porous structure of silica seems to be suitable for enzyme immobilization, judging from the observed results of high immobilization capacity and comparably satisfactory retention of enzyme activity.

Purpose: Zirconia fixed partial dentures with mandibular 2^nd premolar and 2^nd molar as abutments are fabricated and then the effects of inter-abutment distance on fracture resistance of zirconia fixed partial dentures is studied. Materials and Methods: The materials used in this study are Cameleon S zirconia block and S2 zirconia block, which are divided into CS Group and S2 Group applying different inter-abutment distance for each material, and the sintered zirconia fixed partial denture was luted to the epoxy resin die using a temporary luting cement, and then the fracture resistance was measured by placing a 6 mm diameter hardened steel ball on the occlusal surfaces of the pontics and applying pressure at a cross head speed of 1.0 mm/min on a universal testing machine with a load cell of 5.0 kN. Results: The fracture resistance of zirconia fixed partial dentures is not significantly affected by inter-abutment distance The fracture resistance of zirconia fixed partial dentures in CS Group was significantly higher in 15 mm of inter-abutment distance than in 13 mm and 17 mm of inter-abutment distance (P < 0.05). The fracture resistance of zirconia fixed partial dentures in S2 Group was not significantly different between the three groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The fracture resistance of zirconia fixed partial dentures with mandibular 2^nd premolar and 2^nd molar as abutments does not significantly affected by the inter-abutment distance.

The most important factor in the treatment of fully edentulous patients using implants is the shape of the definitive prosthesis. After the shape of the definitive prosthesis is determined, residual bone analysis and selection of the implant type, number and position should be followed. In this case, for restoration of an edentulous patient fully implanted (except the maxillary right lateral incisor) without considering definitive prosthesis, facial esthetics and possibility of fixed type prosthesis were evaluated using complete denture. It was determined that the fixed type prosthesis was possible. Implants that could not be used for the definitive prosthesis were excluded from the treatment plan and fixed type provisional restorations were fabricated. After four months of provisional restorations, the patient showed stable occlusion and esthetic satisfaction. Definitive prosthesis was made of zirconia using CAD/CAM (computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing). The results were satisfactory during the 3 months of follow-up period after termination of treatment.

Treatment options for partially edentulous patients are fixed partial denture, removable partial denture and implant supported fixed partial denture. In case of a patient with a few remaining teeth, removable partial denture and implant supported fixed prosthesis are available. For implant fixed prothesis, enough implant fixtures are required and the patient's general condition, local factors and economic status must be considered. When the condition of the abutments and the residual ridge is favorable and the prosthesis is well designed, removable partial denture can be an option. In removable partial denture, the bilateral support is important. If the teeth remain unilateral, harmful stress is put on the abutments by the fulcrum line. In this situation, strategic implantation and implant-retained or assisted removable partial denture is beneficial to the retention and support of the denture. And this can be cost-effective, functional and esthetic choice of treatment. This article describes the prosthodontic rehabilitation of Maxillary Kennedy class I partially edentulous patients. In these two cases, the patients had a small number of teeth and they were restored by the combination of a removable partial denture and dental implants.
