This study was conducted to investigate the types and methods of dental impression materials used in dental clinics in south Korea, the questionnaire was surveyed by a self-administered method for one dentist in a one dental clinic, the collected data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 20. The most frequently used addition silicone impression materials were used in most dental treatment. It was confirmed that the method of taking impression materials having different flow properties(light body and heavy body) was most preferred at one time, also, the implant impression taking method was the most preferred for two rubber impression materials with different flow properties, both direct and indirect. There were statistically significant differences in age and clinical experience between the methods of impression taking of casting restorations and prosthetic according to general characteristics. These results are expected to be helpful for the development of theoretical and practical work based on the basic data for impression material development and research and the preference of impression materials required for dental professional in clinical practice.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the newly-developed $Qraypen^{TM}$ (All In One Bio, Korea) system for the diagnosis of early proximal caries by comparing it with the conventional methods of visual inspection and periapical radiography. This study was carried out from July 2015 to April 2016 targeting 32 children aged 7~12 years who visited Y-Dental Clinic for school oral health examinations. Two investigators selected and examined a total of 153 primary molars that had not undergone restorative treatment. Comparisons were carried out between visual inspections, readings of posterior periapical radiography images, and readings of $Qraypen^{TM}$ images. This study revealed that the percentage of interproximal surfaces of primary molar teeth without caries incidence was 83.7% using $Qraypen^{TM}$ imaging and 84.9% using visual inspection and periapical radiography. The differences between the two methods were not statistically significant. Thus, $Qraypen^{TM}$ is expected to be a useful and convenient auxiliary diagnostic device that can facilitate the detection of hidden proximal caries in primary molars.

Recently, intelligent agents are demanded increasingly automated techniques for animation according to interaction with user or environment of the user. In this paper, we have studied a generic framework for intelligent agents based on emotions. Intelligent agents are designed to infer emotions from diverse personalities, situations, user behaviors and to express them. We research into the technique and the case study for intelligent agents based on emotions supposing autonomous and interactive animation.

중금속으로 오염된 토양을 안정화하고자 석탄 광산 배수 처리 시 발생되는 슬러지를 이용하여 중금속 용출 실험을 실시하였다. 용출 실험을 위하여 슬러지를 무게비율로 0%, 1%, 3%를 완전혼합하고, 3%슬러지를 오염토양과 층을 이루어 용출 실험을 실시하였다. 유입 pH를 5.5-6.2와 3-4로 조절하여 용출실험을 실시한 결과 Cu, Zn, Pb, Cr의 용출 농토는 3% M<3% S<1% M<0% 순으로 나타났다. 오염토양 무게 비율로 3% 슬러지를 완전혼합 시 중금속 용출 실험 결과 20년 기준 안정성을 확보할 수 있었다.

자동 표정인식 및 합성 기술과 내적상태별 얼굴표정 프로토타입 작성의 기초 작업으로서 특정 내적상태를 표현하는 얼굴표정의 특징적 구조를 분석하였다. 내적상태의 평정 절차를 거쳐 열 다섯 가지의 내적상태로 명명된 배우 여섯 명에 대한 영상자료 90장을 사용하여 각 표정의 특징적 구조를 발견하고자 하였다. 서로 다른 얼굴들의 표준화 작업과 서로 다른 표정들의 직접 비교 작업에 정확성을 기하기 위하여 각 표정 표본들을 한국인 표준형상모형에 정합하였다. 정합 결과로 얻어진 각 얼굴표정의 특징점에 대해 모형이 규정하고 있는 좌표값들만으로는 표정해석이 불가능하며 중립얼굴로부터의 변화값이 표정해석에 유효하다는 결론을 얻었다. 표정의 특징적 구조는 그 표정이 표현하는 내적상태가 무엇인가에 따라 발견되지 않는 경우도 있었으며 내적상태가 기본정서에 가까울수록 비교적 일관된 형태를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 내적상태별 특징적 표정을 결정할 수 있는 경우에 표정의 구조는 얼굴표정 요소들 중 일부에 의해서 특징지어짐을 확인하였다.

Bleaching of vital and nonvital teeth is becoming a more commonly used treatment in the dental office and at home. To improve appearance and remove discoloration, the teeth of specific patients are treated with a variety of bleaching agents. The typical bleaching agents contains carbamide or hydrogen peroxide as the active component. The purpose of the review article was to summarize and discuss the available information concerning the effect of peroxide releasing bleaching agent on dental restorative materials and restorations. Information from all original scientific full papers or reviews listed in PubMed or ISI Web Science were included in the review. Bleaching may exert a negative influence on restorations and restorative materials. Advice is provided based on the current literature to minimize the impact of bleaching treatment on restorative materials and restorations.

$T4K^{TM}$(Myofunctional Research Co, Australia) is one of the myofunctional appliance developed to be used in children of mixed dentition. Myofuncitonal appliance stimulate the facial, masticatory and tongue muscle and help to balance the muscular force. Labial bow included in the device exerts strength in excessively labial inclineded upper jaw, Lip bumper blocks strength of the mouth to prevent abnormal strength exerted in lower jaw, Tongue tag secures proper position of tongue, and additional exercise is not required for child patients. For the more, simpler design and softer texture of device prmoted cooperation of patients during use. This case report is to present the satisfactory results gained by using $T4K^{TM}$ on Class II patients. Comment 1. $T4K^{TM}$ was applied in Class II malocclusion patients of mixed dentition with expected space insufficient to gain facial improvement. 2. Excessive overjet, overbite were improved. 3. Main effects are regarded to have been achieved by development of lingual slant of upper jaw, labial slant of lower jaw, and lower part of jawbone. 4. Bad habits, such as mouth breathing, can also be adjusted.

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is widely used in endodontic therapy as a pulp-capping material, root or furcal perforation repair material, and for apexification and obturation of the root canal system. The purpose of this study was to formally document cases of MTA application in South Korean children and adolescents. Through this research, the practice of using MTA will be introduced and familiarized to the clinical practitioners. This study involved endodontic treatment using MTA for fractured crowns in 11- and 12-year-old. The children were followed up for 12 months until the pulp vitality was confirmed; in young permanent teeth with immature roots, the pulp is integral to the process of apexogenesis. These observational results regarding the use of MTA as an apexification material in non-vital immature permanent incisors appear to provide promising results in the search for new materials to meet existing endodontic needs.

The aim of this study were to elucidate effects of fluoridated bleaching agents and post-treatment fluoride application on the color and microhardness of enamel surface. Twenty freshly extracted human adult molar were each sectioned into halves, the specimens divided and treated according to four experimental groups: 1, untreated controls: 2, treatment with 10% carbamide peroxide (CP) bleaching agent; 3, treatment with 10% CP containing 0.11% fluoride; 4, treatment with 10% CP followed by a 0.9% sodium fluoride gel application. Group 2-4 were compared with the baseline data. treated 8 h per day for 14 days then immersed in distilled water for 2 weeks. Changes in enamel color and microhardness were evaluated on Days 7 and 14. All the bleached enamel specimens revealed increased whiteness and overall color value. Groups 2 and 4 showed significantly decreased enamel microhardness compared to their baseline. The specimens treated with fluoridated bleaching agents showed relatively less reduction in enamel microhardness than those treated with nonfluoridated agents during the bleaching treatment. The addition of fluoride did not impede the tooth whitening. The fluoridated bleaching agents reduced the microhardness loss of enamel.
