The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of fluoride relasing orthodontic sealant on the shear bond strength of light-and chemical-cured orthodontic rosins, to compare the shear bond strenth with light-and chemical-cured orthodontic resins, and to identify the changes of shear bond strength by rebonding in vitro. The brackets were divided into eight groups. Each group of metal brackets had different bonding mechanisms with adhesives. Group A : Transbond only Group B : Mono-Lok 2 only Group C : Light cured FluoroBond+Transbond Group D : Light cured FluoroBond+Mono-Lok 2 Group E : Transbond only(rebonded) Group F : Nomo-Lok 2 only(rebonded) Group G : Light cured FluoroBond+Transbond(rebonded) Group H : Light cured FluoroBond+Mono-Lok 2(rebonded) 65 extracted human premolars were prepared for bonding and 65 metal brackets for each group were bonded to prepared enamel surfaces of buccal surfaces as the above prescription. 24 hours bonding after, the Instron universal testing machine was used to test the shear bond strength of metal brackets to enamel. After debonding, same kind of metal brackets for each group were rebonded to prepared enamel surfaces of buccal surfaces to test the shear bond strength at the rebonding to enamel. Statistical analysis of the data was carried out Student's t-test ANOVA test, and Scheffe test using $SPSS/PC^+$ The results were as follows : 1. The order of shear bond strength was Group B(11.84MPa), Group A(10.75MPa), Group, D(9.69MPa), and Group C(9.39MPa)in lst bonded groups. 2. The order of shear bond strength was Group E(7.40MPa), Group G(6.48MPa), Group F(5.89MPa), and Group H(5.15MPa) in rebonded groups. 3. The shear bond strength of chemical cured orthodontic rosins had higher than that of light-cured orthodontic resins in all groups, but there was no statistical significance between groups(P>0.05). 4. In rebonded groups, the shear bond strength of light cured orthodontic rosins had higher than that of chemical cured orthodontic resins, but there was no statistical significance between groups(P>0.05). 5. The shear bond strength of all rebonded groups progressively decreased than that of 1st bonded groups, and there was statistical significance between groups(p<0.05, p<0.001).

Recently. the reintroduction of air-abrasion technology in dentistry has added a new potential method of pretreating teeth prior to placing sealants. The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate microleakages of several pit and fissure sealants following various surface pre-treatment methods to the enamel, because there was a question concerning the validity of claim that this method was better than the conventional acid etching. Permanent molars were divided randomly into nine groups and treated accordingly: acid etching(group 1, 4, 7), air-abrasion(group 2, 5, 8), acid etching after air-abrasion(group 3, 6, 9). Then the authors placed and cured the three kinds of sealants(group $1\sim3$: Teethmate-F, group $4\sim6$: Ultraseal XT plus, group $7\sim9$: Denseal) according to the manufacturer's order. They were observed to determine the degree of microleakage. And these specimens were separated from the corresponding enamels and examined by Scanning Electron Microscope. The following results were obtained: 1. In comparing microleakage among tooth surface treatment methods, air-abrasion group(group 2, 5, 8) showed the greatest microleakage, while combination(air-abrasion + acid etching) group showed the least (p<0.05). However, no significant differences were found between group 7 and 9. 2. The mean microleakages were ranked as follows(p<0.05): In acid etching groups, group 7> group 4> group 1. In air-abrasive groups, group 8>groups 5> group 2. In combination groups, group 9>group 3> group 6. However, no significant differences were found between group 4 and 7 between group 2 and 5 and between group 3 and 6. 3. SEM showed that comparably longer resin tags were distributed regularly in acid etching groups and that shorter ones irregularly in air-abrasion groups. It also showed that these two kinds of tags were distributed simultaneously in combination groups.

To investigate the difference of Texture exhibited on interproximal enamel surface with each different stripping method and the susceptibility of proximal enamel to demineralization after stripping and the application of a topical fluoride go] and sealant, one hundred human premolars, which were Previously extracted for orthodontic reasons were evaluated by means of Scanning electron microscopy and laser fluorescence. The results were as follows : 1. No matter what the initial stripping instrument was the furrows that resulted from all the stripping methods were not completely removed by careful polishing. 2. Among the enamel surfaces that were treated with three different initial abrasive instruments, followed by the same polishing method (Sof-$Lex^{(r)}$ disks), the enamel surfaces that were treated with 700 crosscut carbide bur showed the smoothest surfaces. 3. The stripped teeth, no matter what the initial stripping instrument was, were less resistant to initial demineralization than untreated teeth. But no difference in caries susceptibility according to differently stripped methods was found (p<(0.001). 4. Teeth treated with APF-gel or sealant were mote resistant to demineralization than those treated without other treatment after stripping (p<0.001). 5. Comparing groups treated with APF-gel to groups treated with sealant, the former was more resistant to demineralization than the tatter (p<0.05). In conclusion, enamel surfaces that were stripped jnterproximally were less resistant to demineralization even though various attempts were made to produce smooth, self-cleaning enamel surfaces. Therefore, additional treatment-sealant or calcifying/ fluoridating solution To the stripped enamel surfaces is recommended.

This study aimed to evaluate the microleakage and penetration of two hydrophilic sealants, Embrace $Wetbond^{TM}$ and Ultraseal $XT^{(R)}$ $hydro^{TM}$, when applied on dry and moist enamel, as compared to a conventionally used hydrophobic sealant, $Clinpro^{TM}$. A total of 60 sound human third molars were randomly divided into 5 groups according to the enamel moisture control and the sealant material used. After sealant application, the teeth were thermocycled and immersed in 1% methylene blue dye. Subsequently, the teeth were sectioned twice and the sections were examined using an optical microscope and image analysis software. Application of Embrace $Wetbond^{TM}$ on either dry or moist enamel resulted in more microleakage than $Clinpro^{TM}$. Application of Ultraseal $XT^{(R)}$ $hydro^{TM}$ on dry enamel showed a similar level of microleakage to $Clinpro^{TM}$, but application on moist enamel resulted in more microleakage. There were no significant differences between the groups in penetration. In conclusion, application of hydrophilic sealants on moist enamel did not improve the sealing ability and showed lower sealing ability than that of $Clinpro^{TM}$ applied on dry enamel.

In this study, attempt has been made to evaluate the effect of $CO_2$ laser irradiation on enamel surface structure and the bond strength of sealant material. Conventional acid etching was used as a control technic for comparison. The results obtained from this experiment were as follows; 1. The highest mean shear bond strength value was observed in samples of Group I (acid-etching) with the statistical significance(p<.05) between all the other groups. 2. The shear bond strength in Group IV was the lowest among laser etching groups. but there were no significant difference between them(p>.05). 3. Scanning electron microscopic observation showed that the rough and irregular surface was created by $CO_2$ laser treatment with the formation of numerous pores, micro-cracks, and small bubble-like inclusion. Increasing the energy density induced localized surface melt with a thin smooth glaze-like appearance. 4. In acid-etched control specimen cohesive failure predominated, whereas adhesive failure was the main mode in laser-treated group. Based upon the above-mentioned results, it can be assumed that the $CO_2$ laser is not an adequate substitute for the acid-etch technique in enamel preconditioning. More studies are required to explore the effective condition of laser irradiation which could attain the better bond strength of restorative materials.

전색 디스플레이의 배경조명과 일반조명으로 응용 가능한 백색 유기발광소자를 제작하기 위해서는 삼원색을 혼합하는 방법과 단색광원의 색변환을 이용하는 방법등이 제안되었다. 삼원색을 혼합하는 방법의 연구가 접근방법 및 효율개선이 용이하기 때문에 많은 연구가 진행되어왔다. 그러나 색변환 방법을 사용하는 구조는 삼원색을 혼합하는 방법에 비해 공정이 단순하며 공정 가격이 낮아지고 안정적인 구조라는 장점이 있기에, 본 연구에서는 무기물 형광체를 청색유기발광 소자에 결합하여 제작된 백색 유기발광소자의 전기적 성질과 광학적 성질을 규명하는 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 나노크기의 균일한 형광체를 제작 할 수 있는 졸겔 방법으로 적색 형광체를 제작하였다. 졸겔 방법으로 제작된 형광체에 대한 주사현미경 측정 결과 입자의 표면이 고르며 크기가 작고 균일 하였고, 높은 온도 열처리에 따라서 용매제가 대부분 제거되었기 때문에 형광체 발광 특성이 잘 일어났음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 제작된 형광체의 광학적 성질을 조사하기 위해 형광 루미네센스 측정을 하여 발광특성을 분석하였으며 실제 청색 유기발광소자에 적용하기 위해 tris((3,5-difluoro-4-cyanophenyl)pyridine)iridium (FCNIr)-doped 3,5-bis (N-carbazolyl) benzene (mCP)를 발광층으로 사용하는 진청색의 인광 유기발광소자 배면에 무기물 형광체를 결합하여 인가한 전압에 따른 전계발광분광특성의 변화를 조사하였다. 유기발광소자와 결합된 적색 무기물 형광체는 진청색 인광 유기발광소자에서 발광된 청색빛의 일부를 흡수하여 적색으로 색변환을 하였고 이는 무기물 형광체내에 첨가된 Mn 원자에 의해 색변환이 이루어졌음을 확인하였다. 무기물 형광체를 사용한 백색 유기발광소자의 색변환 메카니즘 및 효율 증진에 대한 연구는 고효율 유기발광소자 제작을 가능하게 할 것이다.

Early enamel caries is commonly remineralized by the patient‘s improved oral hygiene or fluoridation, however the result is clinically unreliable. As an alternative, we tried to seal the lesions with low-viscosity light-curing resin. The aim of the present study was to search the proper methods of the adequate pretreatment prior to applying adhesive resin on natural proximal caries lesions. Thirty nine extracted deciduous molar teeth showing proximal early caries lesion were used for this study. They were divided into 5 groups : Group 1; only carefully cleaned with water, group 2; etched with 15% HCl for 15s, group 3; etched with 35% phosphoric acid for 15s, group 4; etched with 35% phosphoric acid for 30s, and group 5; cleaned with 0.5% NaOCl. Following results were obtained by evaluating with SEM and CLSM after applied with adhesive resin. 1. As a result of SEM evaluation, group 2 showed clearly removed surface layer, group 3,4 showed partially removed surface layer irregularly, group 5 showed slightly removed surface layer. 2. Group 2 showed the deepest infiltration depth, followed by group 4, group 3, group 5, group 1 and besides group 5, other groups showed significantly deep infiltration depth. (p < 0.01) In conclusion, the best methods of the adequate pretreatment on natural proximal caries lesion for deep infiltration of adhesive resin was to etch with 15% HCl for 15s.
