This study was executed to evaluate the effects of natural herbal medicine extract on the antimicrobial activity and the artificial plaque formation. Schisandra chinensis, Sophora flavescens, Dryopteris crassirhizoma and Aristolochia contorta were extracted by 80% MeOH respectively and each concentration(5mg, 10mg, 20mg) of herbal medicine extract was tested to show the antimicrobial activity against S. mutans. To show the inhibition effect of herbal medicine extract on the artificial dental plaque formation each extract of 0.4% concentration was added into M 17 broth and inoculated with $5.0{\times}10^6$ of S. mutans. After 24 hour incubation each weight of artificial dental plaque was measured and compared with each other. Results obtained are as follows: 1. Dryopteris crassirhizoma showed very intense antimicrobial effect but Schisandra chinensis, Sophora flavescens and Aristolochia contorta showed a little difference against control. 2. Regarding artificial plaque formation inhibiting activity by each herbal extract at 0.4% concentration, Dryopteris crassirhizoma showed the perfect inhibition effect. Schisandra chinensis and Aristolochia contorta followed in order but Sophora flavescens showed the worst value. In conclusion, Dryopteris crassirhizoma showed strong antimicrobial effect against S. mutans and significant inhibiting effect on the artificial dental plaque formation.

In order to investigate the effects of continuous and pH cyclic remineralization, artificial enamel carious lesions were produced on sections of about 2mm thickness of bovine incisor. 0.1M lactic acid solution adjusted to a pH of 4.3 and saturity of $2.98{\times}10^{-8}$ was used as demineralizing solution. The lesions were remineralized with the solution of pH 7.0 containing 1.5mM $CaCl_2$, 0.9 mM $KH_2PO_4$ and 20mM Hepes. In continuous remineralization procedure, the specimens were immersed in remineralizing solution continuously for 72 hours. In pH cyclic remineralization procedure, the sections were immersed in remineralizing solution for 6 hours and in dermineralizing solution for 20 minutes alternately during 72 hours. The effect of remineralization was determined by polarizing microscopy and electron microprobe analysis. The obtained results were as follows. 1. In case of continuous remineralization, the lesion depth was reduced partially or unchanged. 2. In pH cyclic condition, the thichness of surface layer and the lesion depth were increased simultaneously. 3. The mineral content of lesion was recovered to the level of sound enamel by remineraiization.

Introduction: Caries prevention through diet control can be achieved clinically by use of the cariogenic potentiality for a range of food commonly eaten by Koreans. Material & methods: The cariogenic potentiality index of each food can be calculated with the sugar contents and the viscosity of each food applying the regression analysis on the variables. 278 favorite foods for Korean were examined. Result 1. The formula of CPI is as below Cariogenic potentiality index (CPI) = 2.581343*sugar contents+0.598324*viscosity 2. The average CPI of the fruits, vegetable are 9.07~9.62 minutes. But the average CPI of the carbohydrate food is 15.21~19.60 minutes. Conclusion: Using the cariogenic potentiality indices, we will be able to determine an individual patients' average oral status for caries experience in the future. In addition, diet control by use of the cariogenic potentiality index and the analysis for each nutrient is considered as useful clinically for diet control in preventive dentistry.

The purpose of this study was to compare the enamel fluoride uptake and anticariogenic effect following topical application with different physical form of fluoride and application time. The results can be summarized as follows: 1. While the 4-minute applicaton increased the enamel fluoride uptake significantly than 1-minute application regardless of physical form of applied topical fluoride agents, no siginificant difference could be found between foam and gel type when applied for the identical period of time. 2. The application time or the physical form of topical agents had no singificant influence on the reduction of caries lesion. 3. Based upon the above-mentioned results of this study, it cannot be concluded that the amount of enamel fluoride uptake has an absolute impact on the change of lesion depth. Therefore, the clinical application of 1-minute topical fluoride application which appears to have a similar anticariogenic efficacy to 4-minute fluoride application may be encouraged.

치경부에 발생된 병소 부위(cervical lesion)는 "우식성 병소(caries lesion)"와 "비우식성 병소(non-caries lesion)"로 분류할 수 있다. 우식성 병소는 구강 내 세균들의 활동에 기인하여 발생된 병소로서 경조직 손상 부위의 수복과 함께 우식이 재발하지 않도록 체계적으로 대응하는 것이 필요하다. 비우식성 병소는 산성 물질, 저작력 및 이물질에 의한 마모 작용과 같은 다양한 원인에 의해 발생될 수 있으며, 수복 치료에 앞서 병소에 발생 원인을 규명하는 것이 중요하다. 먼저 병소 유발 원인에 대한 분석과 이에 대한 적절한 조치를 취한 후에 수복 치료를 시행하는 것이 바람직하다. 심미적인 요구가 높은 치경부 병소의 수복을 위하여 사용될 수 있는 재료는 "불소를 방출하는 재료"와 "불소를 방출하지 않는 재료"로 나뉘어지는데, 세균의 활동에 의해 형성된 우식성 병소의 수복에는 불소를 방출하는 재료를 사용하는 것이 추천된다. 우수한 심미성과 보다 강력한 유지력이 요구되는 경우에는 복합 레진계 수복 재료들을 사용하여 수복하게 되는데, 이 경우에는 "접착 술식(bonding procedure)"이 중요한 역할을 수행하게 된다. "접착 술식"은 수복물의 일차적인 유지 뿐 아니라 지각과민을 해소하고 2차 우식을 방지하며, 궁극적으로 수복물의 수명을 좌우하는 결정적인 역할을 수행한다. 자연 치아를 최대한 보존하고자 하는 "최소침습(minimum intervention)" 개념에 바탕을 두고 세심하게 형성된 와동에 각각의 증례에 최적화된 수복 재료를 선택하여 수복치료를 시행한다면 보다 심미적이고 환자가 편안한 치경부 수복물을 완성할 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of preschool children's taste preferences on their intake of nutrients and the degree of dental caries. The subjects were 126 preschool children (boys 62 and girls 64) in Daegu area. Their taste preferences and food intake were investigated and their teeth were also examined. The energy intake of boys (1550 kcal) were significantly higher than that of girls (1441 kcal). Daily dietary intakes of nutrients-except niacin and vitamin C-were higher than those of RDA. Vitamin B$_1$ intake of the group preferring a salty taste was significantly lower than that of the other group (p<0.05). Vitamin B$_2$ intake of the group preferring a salty taste was significantly higher than that of the other group (p<0.05). Vitamin C intake of the group preferring a hot taste was significantly higher than that of the other group (p<0.05). The group with a preference for sweet had more experiences of dental caries and more decayed teeth than the other group, but which is not significant. The experiences of dental caries were negatively correlated with protein intake (p<0.01). The decayed teeth were negatively correlated with energy and protein intakes (p<0.01). Our data suggested that taste preferences are associated with vitamins intake and the degree of dental caries in preschool children. It means the sweet preference increased the experiences of the dental caries.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the senior dental students for the proximal dental caries on intraoral radiographs and to compare it with the dental hospital residents, the reference group. It was also investigated the diagnostic performance according to the carious lesion depth. Thirty-five intraoral periapical and bitewing radiographs with 213 proximal surfaces included in this study were selected from the dental patients at Chonnam National University Hospital. The observers were 181 senior dental students from 5 dental schools and 40 dentists who were second year resident from 5 dental hospitals. They were asked to evaluate the presence or the absence of the proximal dental caries. The results were as follows: 1. The mean of the hitting rate for the overall observers was 184.51 surfaces and the diagnostic accuracy was 86.62％. 2. The diagnostic performance of the sound proximal tooth surfaces was very high, i.e., 91.5％ true negative rate and 8.5％ false positive rate. 3. The diagnostic performance of the dentist group was higher than the student group(P<0.05). 4. The proximal dental caries perceptibility increased as the lesion depth increased significantly(P<0.001) except no difference between the carious lesion depth III and IV (P>0.001).
