일반적인 리빙중합의 정의는 개시반응과 사슬의 성장반응만이 있으며 사슬이동반응이나 종결반응 등의 부반응은 일어나지 않아서 중합반응 후에도 사슬의 성장활성이 오랫동안 유지되는 중합반응계를 말한다. 이러한 리빙중합은 여러 가지의 중합방법에 의해서 시도되어졌는데 가장 대표적이고 성공적인 방법으로서 이온중합에 의한 방법을 그 예로 들 수 있다. 그러나 이온중합에 의한 방법은 그 리빙성이 매우 우수한 반면에 중합가능한 단량체의 종류가 국한되어 있고 중합조건이 아주 까다로워서 실용성이 없다는 단점이 있다. (중략)

The purpose of this study was to compare the microtensile bond strength in Class I cavities associated with different light curing modes of same light energy density. Occlusal enamel was removed to expose a flat dentin surface and twenty box-shaped Class I cavities were prepared in dentin. Single Bond (3M Dental product) was applied and Z 250 was inserted using bulk technique. The composite was light-cured using one of four techniques, pulse delay (PD group), soft-start (SS group), pulse cure (PC group) and standard continuous cure (CC group). The light-curing unit capable of adjusting time and intensity (VIP, Bisco Dental product) was selected and the light energy density for all curing modes was fixed at $16J/cm^2$. After storage for 24 hours, specimens were sectioned into beams with a rectangular cross-sectional area of approximately $1mm^2$ Microtensile bond strength $({\mu}TBS)$ test was per- formed using a univel·sal testing machine (EZ Test, Shimadzu Co.). The results were analyzed using oneway ANOVA and Tukey's test at significance level 0.05. The ${\mu}TBS$ of PD group and SS group was higher than that of PC group and CC group. Within the limitations of this in vitro study, modification of curing modes such as pulse delay and soft start polymerization can improve resin/dentin bond strength in Class I cavities by controlling polymerization velocity of composite resin.

기존의 광중합기는 높은 광강도를 제공함으로써 광중합 복합레진을 최대한 단축된 시간내의 중합을 목표로 하였다. 이러한 높은 광강도는 복합레진의 중합깊이, 중합률면에서는 우수하나 중합 반응속도가 빠름으로 인해 중합시 응력 발생이 높아진다는 일련의 보고가 있다. 최근에는 광중합 속도를 늦춤으로써 변연적합도 및 중합시 응력 발생을 낮추는 새로운 중합방법들이 제시되고 있다. 이에 본 실험에서는 광조사 강도의 변화가 광중합 복합레진의 중합반응 과정에 미치는 영향 및 중합된 복합레진의 중합률에 대한 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 5개의 혼합형 광중합 복합레진 (Z-100, Spectrum, Z-250, Clearfil AP-X, P-60)을 사용하였으며 중합시 적용된 광조사 강도에 따라 6개의 실험군으로 정의하였다. 실험군과 이에 따른 광조사 방법은 다음과 같다. 1군은 110mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 40초 중합, 2군 210mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 40초 중합, 3군 410mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 40초 중합, 4군 620mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 40초 중합, 5군 110mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 10초 중합 후 1분 뒤 620mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 30초 중합, 6군 210mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 10초 중합 후 1분 뒤 410mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 30초 중합하였다. 광중합시 중합 반응 양상에 관한 분석은 시차주사 열계량기를 이용하여 37$^{\circ}C$ 항온상태에서 10분간의 열흐름곡선을 기록하였다. 기록된 열흐름곡선에서 중합 반응시 나타나는 중합열 및 최대 중합열에 이르는 시간을 기록하여 중합반응 속도를 측정하였다. 중합된 복합레진의 중합률은 Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer(FTIR)를 이용하였으며 2mm 두께의 복합레진 하방에서의 중합률을 측정하였다. 측정된 결과는 ANOVA 및 Student-Newman-Keuls 방법을 이용하여 유의성을 검증하였다. 실험결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 광중합 복합레진 중합시 광조사 강도가 증가할수록 중합열은 증가하였으나 통계적 유의성은 보이지 않았다 (p>0.05). 2. 최대 중합열에 이르는 시간은 광조사 강도가 증가할수록 단축되었다. 이단계 중합방법을 사용한 경우 중합반응 속도를 감소시킬 수 있음을 보였다. 3. 광조사 강도가 증가할수록 중합률은 증가하였다. 이단계 중합방법을 사용한 경우 연속적인 고광강도를 사용한 경우와 유사한 높은 중합률을 보였다. 4. 중합률면에서 광중합복합레진의 중합시 400mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 이상의 광강도가 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

The degree of conversion of cross-linked polymer has great importance in determining the physical and mechanical properties, and biocompatibility. Therefore, this study examined the comparison of light-cured composite resin polymerization of various light-curing systems composed of plasma arc, halogen, LED curing units and pluse-delay curing with FTIR. From this experiment, The following results were obtained : 1. From FTIR, the degree of conversion(DC) of composite resin was 34.52-49.31%, DC of composite resin used in Flipo was $39.36{\pm}1.22%$, CrediII $45.64{\pm}1.34%$, XL3000 $43.48{\pm}1.34%$, VIP(mode 4) $44.31{\pm}0.72%$, LUXOMAX $49.31{\pm}2.37%$, Elipar Freelight $44.51{\pm}0.62%$ and $34.52{\pm}0.85%$ in pulse-delay curing. 2. The degree of conversion of composite resin in each light-curing unit was highest DC of the LUXOMAX system, lowest DC of the pulse-delay curing. 3. Compared with other curing system, Flipo, LUXOMAX, and pulse-delay curing were significant difference(p<0.05). 4. In same curing method group, the differences of each light-curing unit were no significace in halogen(conventional) curing method(p>0.05), but significance in plasma arc curing and LED curing method(p<0.05).

Purpose: This study was designed to compare the amount of polymerization shrinkage of dual-cure resin cements according to different polymerization modes and to determine the effect of light activation on the degree of polymerization. Materials and methods: Four kinds of dual-cure resin cements were investigated: Smartcem 2, Panavia F 2.0, Clearfil SA Luting and Zirconite. Each material was tested in three different polymerization modes: self-polymerization only, immediate light polymerization and 5 minutes-delayed light polymerization. The time-dependent polymerization shrinkage-strain was evaluated for 30 minutes by Bonded-disk method at $37^{\circ}C$. Five recordings of each material with three different modes were taken. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and multiple comparison Scheffe′test (${\alpha}$=.05). Results: All materials, except Panavia F 2.0, exhibited the highest polymerization shrinkage-strain through delayed light-activated polymerization. No significant difference between light activation modes was found with Panavia F 2.0. All materials exhibited more than 90% of polymerization rate in the immediate or delayed light activated group within 10 minutes. Conclusion: As a clinical implication of this study, the application of delayed light activation mode to dual-cure resin cements is advantageous in terms of degree of polymerization.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of several dual-cure cements by different curing modes. Materials and Methods: One resin-modified glass ionomer cement (FujiCEM 2), two conventional dual-cure resin cements (RelyX ARC, Multilink N), and two dual-cure self-adhesive resin cements (RelyX U200, G-CEM LinkAce) were used. To evaluate the influence of the curing methods, each cements divided into four conditions (n = 20); Condition 1: self-curing for 10 minutes, Condition 2: immediate after 20 seconds light-curing, Condition 3: 24 hours after self-curing, Condition 4: 24 hours after light-curing. The compressive strength and diametral tensile strength were measured with a universal testing machine. All data were statistically analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA and Scheffe's test. Results: The results showed the compressive strength and diametral tensile strength after 24 hours in all curing modes were higher than immediate except RelyX ARC light-cured and Multilink N light-cured. The FujiCEM 2 showed lowest values (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The outcome was cement-depend, but there is no significant difference about compressive strength and diametral tensile strength between dual-cure self-adhesive resin cements and conventional resin cements. And this result will be used as a base line data selecting resin cement for favorable long-term prognosis.

Carbocationic polymerization is widely applied to prepare polymers from electron-rich monomers. The reaction is usually uncontrollable due to many side reactions and explosively fast rate of polymerization. In a living polymerization, however, the reaction is controlled as designed, and many workers reported many successful cases recently. In this review several ways of living carbocationic polymerization were illustrated, and they were connected together under a basic principle.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of curing methods of adhesive resins and resin cements in the root canal. Crown portions of 32 single-rooted mandibular premolars were removed. Routine endodontic treatment was done, and 9 mm deep post spaces were prepared within root canals. No.3 FRC Postec posts (Ivoclar-Vivadent AG, Liechtensteih) were cemented in the post spaces by self-(SC) or light-curing (LC) using two dual-cured adhesives (Adper Scotchbond multi-purpose plus and Exite DSC )and resin cements (RelyX ARC and Variolink II). They were assigned to 4 groups (n=8): R-SC, R-LC, V-SC, V-LC group. After stored in distilled water for 24 hours, each root was transversally sectioned with 1.5 mm thick and made three slices. The specimens were subjected to push-out test in a universal testing machine (EZ Test, Shimadzu Co., Japan) with a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. The data were analyzed with repeated ANOVA and one-way ANOVA. Also the interface of post-resin cement and resin cement-canal wall of each group was observed under FE-SEM. When fiber posts were cemented into the root canal using total-etch adhesives, the bond strength and adaptation between post and root canal dentin was affected by curing method. Self-cure of adhesives and resin cements showed higher bond strength and closer adaptation than light-cure of them.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of exponential curing method with conventional curing and soft start curing method on polymerization shrinkage of composite resins. Three brands of composite resins (Synergy Duo Shade, Z250, Filtek Supreme) and three brands of light curing units (Spectrum 800, Elipar Highlight, Elipar Trilight) were used. 40 seconds curing time was given. The shrinkage was measured using linometer for 90 seconds. The effect of time on polymerization shrinkage was analysed by one-way ANOVA and the effect of curing modes and materials on polymerization shrinkage at the time of 90s were analysed by two-way ANOVA. The shrinkage ratios at the time of 20s to 90s were taken and analysed the same way. The results were as follows : 1. All the groups except Supreme shrank almost within 20s Supreme cured by soft start and exponential curing had no further shrinkage after 30s (p < 0.05). 2. Statistical analysis revealed that polymerization shrinkage varied among materials (p = 0.000) and curing modes (p = 0.003). There was no significant interaction between material and curing mode. 3. The groups cured by exponential curing showed the statistically lower polymerization shrinkage at 90s than the groups cured by conventional curing and soft start curing (p < 0.05). 4. The initial shrinkage ratios of soft start and exponential curing were statistically lower than conventional curing (p < 0.05). From this study, the use of low initial light intensities may reduce the polymerization rate and, as a result, reduce the stress of polymerization shrinkage.
