Communication and cooperation between dentists and dental technicians are two essential elements for the fabrication of high quality 'custom' prosthesis. For successful communication and cooperation between the two groups, however, dentists and dental technicians must share common understanding about clinical dentistry. Ironically, it is often noticed that they are not really sharing the same clinical knowledge. Although there is a strong association between 'Emergence Profile' of implant prostheses and periodontal health or esthetics, no definite guideline has ever been provided for ideal emergence profile of implant prosthesis in literature. Problems resulted from inherent differences between implants and natural teeth must be acknowledged and shared between dentists and dental technicians so that they can come up with desirable clinical results with implant prostheses.

I think the following conditions should be met for a successful anterior aesthetic restorations. They include the patient's facial and dental harmony, the coordination between the tooth and periodontal tissue, and the continuity with the adjacent teeth. However, in the laboratory process of making restorations, the dental technician works on the model without meeting the patient in person, so he or she has to rely on his or her knowledge and skills to make restoration within limited information. In this article, I discuss the biological criteria that I think as a dental technician and the forms of restorations and how to grant them to the sound periodontal condition.

목적: 본 연구는 실무 현장과 교육 현장의 조사를 통한 종합적인 의견을 수렴하여 합리적인 치과기공사 양성 및 배출을 위한 개선안을 도출하고자 한다. 방법: 3회에 걸쳐 설문조사가 진행되었으며, 1차는 개방형 문항으로 조사되었고, 2차, 3차는 폐쇄형 문항으로 조사되었다. 델파이 조사를 위한 조사 인원 선정을 100명(정책집단: 20명, 교육집단: 20명, 임상가 집단: 60명)으로 지정하였다. 1차 개방형 조사결과를 토대로 2차 설문문항을 작성하였으며, 2차 설문조사 결과를 토대로 3차 설문문항을 작성 후 조사하였다. 수집된 자료의 분석은 통계패키지 프로그램 SPSS Ver. 21.0를 활용하여 델파이 기법(Delphi Method)을 활용한 연구 결과에서 전문가 집단의 의견을 수렴하기 위해 빈도분석과 기술통계분석을 실시하였다. 결과: 현 교육체계의 문제점은 임상현장과의 차이와 실무능력저하, 국가시험위주의 교육이 문제점으로 대두되었으며, 현행 평가제도의 문제점은 임상현장을 충분히 반영하지 못한 점, 실무능력이 미 반영된 실기평가로 지적되었다. 결론: 결론적으로 치과기공사의 교육과정과 평가제도는 현실적인 내용을 고려하면서 임상 실무와의 연계성을 높이는 방향으로 개선되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: Increasing use of computer aided design-computer aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) system and number of design software made design of restoration easy and quick. Outcome of restoration has been dependent on dental technician's wax up proficiency, dentists can design restoration for themselves now. This study aims to investigate the outcome of restoration designs, according to handling skill of CAD-CAM design tool. Materials and methods: A patient's mandibular right 1st molar was prepared. After taking impression, stone model was made, scanned the stone model with 3 shape intra-oral scanner, stereolithography (STL) file was extracted. With 3shape dental designer, one dental technician with more than 5 years work experience (designer 0) and three dental technicians with less than 2years work experience (designer 1, 2, 3-group DT) and 4 1st year residents (designer 4, 5, 6, 7-group RT) designed gold crown on the same STL file. Designed crown's MD (mesio-distal) and BL (bucco-lingual) diameter, height of crown, inter-cuspal distance, number of occlusal contact points were compared. Statistical analysis was carried out, test of normality within each group, using independent t-test. Number of contact points were compared, using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: There was no significant difference between group DT and group RT. Number of contact points also resulted in no significant difference. Conclusion: The outcome of each designed crowns showed no statistical differences, in values which can be expressed as numbers. Subjective factors were different. With increasing proficiency in handling designing software, fabrication of restorations according to each designer's occlusal concept can be made easy.

The study surveyed 350 people who are over 18 and not related to dentistry with questionnaires in order to examine image and preference of dental technicians. The data analysis was done using the SPSS 21.0 for Windows. As for the analysis methods, the study used the frequency analysis, percentage, t-test, f-test. Through these analyses, the following conclusions were made. The score on the image of dental technicians declined in the order of occupational image(3.62), work image(3.46). The necessity of professional knowledge and techniques in the occupational image had the highest score with 4.17. Also, the image showing that it is professional had a score of 4.14 and the image that shows hardworking and stressful occupation showed the lowest score with 2.43. The study on the preference of dental technicians showed a low score of 2.67. The respondents who are in the 20s(3.53), and who are students(3.29) showed a high score. Also, people who have monthly income of less than 1.5 million won showed a high score of 2.91.With the help of information technology.

The purpose of this study was to research the recognition of Korean Dental Technicians in Busan region about retitle of the name of 'Dental Technician'(DT), then to figure out the reality of retitle of the name(DT), so to provide data for whole country survey and to drive of the retitle of DT by Korea Dental Technicians Association. For these purpose, 250 subjects were sampled out of dental technicians in Busan, and the survey was performed with self-administered questionnaire. Out of all collected questionnaires, 192 pieces(76.8%) were addressed for this study. 1) Their desires on changing of the name(DT), 57.4%(74/129) was agreed. 2) If they could change the name(DT), they hope 3 main new names and the others, Dental Lab Art Technician(39.2%), Certified Dental Technician(23.0%), Dental Prosthetic Technician(23.0%), the others(14.8%).
