This study is to analyze seven fluoride varnishes remineralizing effects on early carious lesions in the clinical field. While CS, MI, CW, VV, EP, FP and FN were used for permanent teeth, CS, MI, CW and FP were used for primary teeth. The specimens were demineralized for 4 days after forming a $3{\times}3mm^2$ window with nail varnish, applied with varnishes separately, then were stirred in artificial saliva for 1 week. QLF-D analysis of carious lesion size showed that permanent teeth's ${\Delta}F$ value decreased after applying CS(4,64), MI(4.86), CW(4.50), and EP(5.50), while for primary teeth, FP(3.00) and MI(3.00) displayed a remineralizing effect. Thus, MI can be used effectively for preventing caries for both adults and children in the clinical field.

The aim of this study was to investigate the change of microbial contamination levels in the different areas and at the different time points after application of a quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) that has mechanical antimicrobial effect. The microbial contamination levels were measured in three different areas; unit chair handle, spit sink area and hand piece holder at different time points using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) monitoring system and ATP surface test kit. Hand piece holder showed the highest level of microbial contamination. In most of the clinics, QAC significantly reduced the levels of microbial contamination, and maintained antimicrobial activity for 4 to 6 months. QAC may be used effectively in dental clinics due to the duration of antimicrobial effect and the minimal exposure of chemicals and further studies are needed with large sample size.

The long-term use of indwelling urinary catheters can allow bacterial adhesion to their surfaces, followed by the catheter-associated urinary tract infection. In an attempt to minimize the bacterial adhesion, various amphiphilic polyurethanes (APUs) were synthesized as potential coating materials for urinary catheters. By varying composition of the soft segments such as PEO, PTMO, and PDMS, four different polyurethanes were synthesized. All the APU-coated urinary catheters had the smooth surfaces and showed higher hydrophilicity, compared to the commercial silicone catheters. In particular, the use of APUs with the higher PEG content significantly augmented hydrophilicity and remarkably reduced the total amount of bacteria adhering to the surface. Overall, the APUs prepared in this study provided the promising potential as coating materials for urinary catheters.

The purpose of this study was to evaluated the improve method of demineralization and damage on the enamel stufece related to bonded orthodontic bracket. Enamel surface of the 40 Intact premolars were treated by aicd etching and various fluoride application methods and then maintained in the patient mouth of 3 months. After extraction of all the sampled premolars, enamel surfaces were evaluated by Scanning electron microscope. The obtained results were as follow. 1. Enamel surface relate to bonded orthodontic bracket showed demineralization and damage, slightly. 2. Group 6 treated by $2\%$ NaF iontophoresis presented and almost similarity to nomral enamel surface. 3. Group 2 treated by acid etching had demineralization and damage on the enamel surface much more than other groups treated by various fluoride application methods. 4. Demineralization and damage on the enamel surface caused by bonded orthodontic bracket is improved by various fluoride application methods.

The combustion characteristic was evaluated for Pinus densiflora, used as a building material in Hanok, which were treated with two different flame retardant method. The specimen was brushed with flame retardant liquid two or three times and then let the specimen dehydrated during 24 h for spreaded treating. And the other specimen was soaked in the liquid for 72 h. The test methods were inflammability test using meker burner and heat release rate test using cone calorimeter. As a result for the tests, flame retardant treated specimens met the requirements of the inflammability and the spreaded treated method was more efficient than immersed method. The spreaded treated specimen had lower combustive properties than immersed specimen in TTI (time to ignition), PHRR (peak heat release rate), MLR (mass loss rate) and THR (total heat release).

A recent laboratory study has demonstrated improved caries lesion resistance with enamel that was exposed to $CO_2$ laser irradiation for very short time period. When topical fluoride treatment was performed before or after laser irradiation, reductions in dental caries. The purpose of this scanning electron microscopic(SEM) study and atomic force microscope study was to characterize surface alterations in tooth enamel after in vitro laser irradiation alone and combined topical fluoride treatment either before or after laser irradiation. The treatment effects of laser irradiation led to the formation of an irregular, mild porosities and fine fissures, also created granular materials. But when laser irradiation was followed by APF, the enamel surface had homogenous architecture. The result led to the caries resistance effects by these granular structures have been considered to represent redeposited mineral phases due to the mobilization of calcium, phosphate, and fluoride from lased enamel.

Monolayers of pure surfactant squaraine, DSSQ(4-distearyl amino phenyl-4'-dimethylaminophenylsquaraine), were deposited on $SnO_2 $ electrodes by the Langmuir-Blodgett film technique. The DSSQ film exhibits ${\lambda}_{max}$ at ∼530 nm. The absorption is significantly red-shifted from the solution of DSSQ (633 nm in chloroform), suggesting that the squaraine chromophores form aggregates in the LB film. The photogeneration of the squaraine aggregates is studied by measuring the photocurrents in photoelectrochemical cells consisting of the squaraine of the aggregates is found to parallel its absorption spectrum and quantum efficiency as high as 0.3% has been observed. While the photocurrent was attenuated exponentially when stearic acid layers (up to 8 layers) are inserted between the squaraine layer and the electrode, it is nearly extinguished when the squaraine layer is over-coated with 2 layers of stearic acid. A model for the observation is proposed and the roles of the electrolytes and oxygen on the photogeneration process will be discussed.
