연구목적: 최근CAD/CAM으로 제작한 지르코니아 코어의 변연적합도에 관한 연구가 많이 진행되었지만, 여러 종의CAD/CAM 시스템의 변연 뿐만 아니라 내면적합도까지 상호 비교한 연구는 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 3종의CAD/CAM 시스템으로 제작한 전치부 단일 치아 지르코니아 코어의 변연 및 내면적합도를 Replica technique을 이용해 평가하고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법:3종의CAD/CAM 시스템 (Cerasys $system^{(R)}$, KaVo $Everest^{(R)}$, $LAVA^{TM}$)을 이용하여, 시스템 별로 5개씩의 단일치아 지르코니아 코어를 제작하였다. 제작된 지르코니아 코어를 레플리카 테크닉 (Replica Technique)을 이용해 복제하고 복제된 시편을 협설, 근원심으로 정중앙을 절단하여 변연 및 내면의 간격을 측정하였다. Measuring microscope ($AXIO^{(R)}$)를 이용하여 50배 확대하여 촬영하고 $I-Solution^{(R)}$을 이용하여 측정하였고, ANOVA를 이용하여 통계적으로 분석하였다. 결과:지르코니아코어의 평균 변연간격은 $Cerasys^{(R)}$가 $84.74{\pm}27.57{\mu}m$, KaVo $Everest^{(R)}$가 $80.23{\pm}21.07{\mu}m$, $Lava^{TM}$가 $96.37{\pm}11.45{\mu}m$이었고 평균내면간격은각각 $Cerasys^{(R)}$는 $94.99{\pm}18.74{\mu}m$, KaVo $Everest^{(R)}$는 $92.31{\pm}25.18{\mu}m$, $LAVA^{TM}$는 $94.99{\pm}18.74{\mu}m$이었으며, 세 시스템간의 변연 및 내면간격의 평균적인 적합도에서 통계적 유의차는 없었다. 변연 및 내면간격의 비교에서는 KaVo $Everest^{(R)}$가 $LAVA^{TM}$보다 전반적으로 내면간격이 작은 것으로 보였다 (P< .05). 내면간격 중 절단부위의 간격은 세 시스템에서 공통적으로 다른 부위보다 크게 나타났다. 결론:본 연구에서 $Cerasys^{(R)}$, KaVo $Everest^{(R)}$, $LAVA^{TM}$시스템의 변연적합도는 차이가 없었고, 내면적합도는 KaVo $Everest^{(R)}$가 $LAVA^{TM}$ 보다 적었으나 세 시스템에서 공통적으로 절단부위 간격이 크게 나타났다. 세 시스템 모두 변연적합도 및 내면적합도가 임상적으로 허용범위 내에 있었다.

최근 개발된 Yttrium-stabilized-tetragonal-zirconia-polycrystal(Y-TZP ceramic)은 생체 친화적이며 높은 굴곡 강도, 파절 저항성, 파괴 인성을 지니고 CAD-CAM을 통해 milling이 가능하여 많은 치과 영역에서 사용되고 있다. 구치부 zirconia framework을 사용하는 고정성 수복물의 경우에는 상부 장석 도재의 상대적으로 높은 빈도의 파절을 보이고 있다. 복합레진은 취성이 적고 법랑질 보다 마모도가 낮으며 수리가 용이하다. 높은 교합압 부위에서 전장용 복합레진을 사용한 임플란트 수복은 기능적인 장점을 지니며 흥미롭게 여겨지고 있다. 이번 연구의 목적은 Y-TZP ceramic에 몇 가지 표면 처리를 시행하여 전장용 복합레진을 적용 시켰을 때 도재 전장시과 비교하여 임상적 활용을 위한 유용한 전단결합강도를 지니는지를 알고자 함이다.

Purpose: This study focused on achieving desired shades by combining zirconia core with different thickness porcelain in order to make dental prostheses effectively. Methods: White and colored $LAVA^{TM}$ All Ceramic (3M-ESPE, Seefeld, Germany), and Zirkonzahn (Bruneck, Italy) Trans and prettau were used to have Zirconia. LAVATM Ceram (3M-ESPE, Germany) and ICE (Zirkonzahn, Italy) powder were used to have the porcelain. We made quadrilateral specimen of thickness 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.7mm and diameter 10 to use zirconia ceramics system of 2 kinds that color tone reappearance way is different and produced total 120 specimens to 4 experimental groups. We used Spectrophotometer to analyze color tone. Data's value getting by dispersal colorimetry period found L*, a*, b* value using Excel program. We used one-way ANOVA to use SPSS WIN 12.0 program. Results: All L*, a*, b* indexes of zirconia core and porcelain veneer in LAVA group and Zirkonzahn group were different. When you combine the white zirconia core of LAVA group with a porcelain veneer, the thickness of the porcelain must be more than 0.5mm to meet the standard target. When all the colored zirconia cores of LAVA group were combined with porcelain veneers, there was no significant difference from the standard target. When the zirconia cores of Zirkonzahn group are combined with porcelain veneers, the thinner thicknesses were closer to the standard tab than thicker thicknesses; however, there was a significant difference in all combinations, with Delta E* value indicating more than 3. Conclusion: When it comes to colored zirconia, which is the most popular, the thicknesses of both a core and a dentin veneer must be more than 0.3mm to get an appropriate shade. There is more possibility to get desirable shades when the thicknesses of a white core are thinner; however, they would be vulnerable to the environment and lose their color. When combine a zirconia core with a dentin veneer, using Zirkonzahn group needs more considerations in order to meet the standard target.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ceramics have a long history in fixed prosthodontics for achieving optimal esthetics and various materials have been used to improve ceramic core strength. However, there is a lack of information on how color is affected by fabrication procedure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of various dentin ceramic thicknesses and repeated firings on the color of zirconium oxide all-ceramic system (LavaTM) fabricated using CAD/CAM technology. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Thirty disc-shaped cores, 12 mm in diameter with a 1 mm thickness were fabricated from zirconium oxide based all ceramic systems ($Lava^{TM}$, 3M ESPE, St Paul, MN, USA) and divided into three groups (n = 10) according to veneering with dentin ceramic thicknesses: as 0.5, 1, or 1.5 mm. Repeated firings (3, 5, 7, or 9) were performed, and the color of the specimens was compared with the color after the initial firing. Color differences among ceramic specimens were measured using a spectrophotometer (VITA Easyshade, VITA Zahnfabrik, Bad $S{\ddot{a}}ckingen$, Germany) and data were expressed in CIELAB system coordinates. A repeated measures ANOVA and Bonferroni post hoc test were used to analyze the data (n = 10, ${\alpha}=.05$). RESULTS. $L^{\ast}a^{\ast}b^{\ast}$ values of the ceramic systems were affected by the number of firings (3, 5, 7, or 9 firings) (P<.001) and ceramic thickness (0.5, 1, or 1.5 mm) (P<.001). Significant interactions were present in $L^{\ast}a^{\ast}b^{\ast}$ values between the number of firings and ceramic thickness (P<.001). An increase in number of firings resulted in significant increase in $L^{\ast}$ values for both 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm thicknesses (P<.01, P=.013); however it decreased for 1 mm thickness (P<.01). The $a^{\ast}$ values increased for 1 mm and 1.5 mm thicknesses (P<.01), while it decreased for 0.5 mm specimens. The $b^{\ast}$ values increased significantly for all thicknesses (P<.01, P=.022). As the dentin ceramic thickness increased, significant reductions in $L^{\ast}$ values (P<.01) were recorded. There were significant increases in both $a^{\ast}$ and $b^{\ast}$ values (P<.01) as the dentin ceramic thickness increased. CONCLUSION. The number of firings and dentin ceramic thickness have a definite effect on the final color of all ceramic system tested. The mean ${\Delta}E$ value increased as the dentin ceramic thicknesses increased for zirconium-oxide based all ceramic specimens tested. However, the mean ${\Delta}E$ values were less than 3.7${\Delta}E$ units which is rated as a match in the oral environment.

Purpose: This investigation was designed to determine the translucency and color stability of various core ceramics for all-ceramic restoration using the CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ system. Material and Methods: IPS e.max Press ceramic(Ivoclar-Vivadent, Liechtenstein), $LAVA^{TM}$ All Ceramic(3M-Espe, Germany), Cercon Smart Ceramic(Dentsply, Germany), and Z-match Ceramic(DentAim, Korea) were used for this study. For the specimens of zirconia oxide ceramics, the as-sintered cylindrical blanks($11.0{\times}25.0mm$) were machined into the shape of a disk(0.4, 0.8, 1.5 mm in thickness, 10 mm in diameters) with a diamond grind machine. The IPS e.max Press specimens ($0.8{\times}10mm$) were fabricated using the "lost wax" technique. CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ coordinates and light transmission were recorded for each specimen with a spectrophotometer(CM-2600d, Minolta, Japan). Color differences were calculated using the equation, ${\Delta}E^*ab=[({\Delta}L^*)2+({\Delta}a^*)2+({\Delta}b^*)2]1/2$. Results: The results were obtained as follows: 1. The most translucent group was IPS e.max Press ceramic that is a glass-ceramic, and $Lava^{TM}$ and Z-match ceramic were more translucent than Cercon Smart ceramic in zirconia ceramic group. 2. In the all groups, there was no significant translucent change after 6 times heat-treatments required to make a final restoration. 3. Colored zirconia was showed more yellowish and dark than uncolored zirconia. 4. After heat-pressing, IPS e.max Press ceramic was showed high ${\Delta}E^*ab$ value(4.1 of eM1, 6.8 of eM2) that means to be more whiter than before heat-pressing. However, there was no color change after additive heat treatments for final restoration. 5. In the colored zirconia groups, there was no significant color change after some heat-treatments required to make a final restoration.

Purpose: To investigate shear bonding strength between dental zirconia ceramics with different surface treatment and metal bracket. Methods: Zirconia ceramics(LAVA, 3M ESPE, USA) were divided to 4 groups according to their surface treatment; no surface treatment(G1), sand blasting(G2), silane coating(G3), and sand blasting+silane coating(G4). Specimens were bonded to metal bracket using resin bond($Transbond^{TM}XT$, 3M Unitek, USA). Shear bond strength was measured using universal test machine(3366 INSTRON. U.S.A) with cross head speed of 1 mm/min. Microstructural investigation for fracture surface was performed after shear test. Results: Shear bonding strengths of single surface treatment groups (G2 and G3) were higher than no treatment group(G1). Combined Treatment Group (G4) showed the highest shear bond strength of 9.15MPa. Microstructural observation shows that higher shear bonding strength was obtained when debonding was occurred at metal bracket/resin interface rather than zirconia ceramic/resin interface. Conclusion: Surface treatment of zirconia is necessary to obtain higher bonding strength. Combined treatment can be more effective when surface the surfaces are kept clean and homogeneous.

PURPOSE. To compare marginal and internal gaps of zirconia substructure of single crowns with those of three-unit fixed dental prostheses. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Standardized Co-Cr alloy simulated second premolar and second molar abutments were fabricated and subsequently duplicated into type-III dental stone for working casts. After that, all zirconia substructures were made using $Lava^{TM}$ system. Marginal and internal gaps were measured in 2 planes (mesial-distal plane and buccal-palatal plane) at 5 locations: marginal opening (MO), chamfer area (CA), axial wall (AW), cusp tip (CT) and mid-occlusal (OA) using Replica technique. RESULTS. There were significant differences between gaps at all locations. The $mean{\pm}SD$ of marginal gap in premolar was $43.6{\pm}0.4{\mu}m$ and $46.5{\pm}0.5{\mu}m$ for single crown and 3-unit bridge substructure respectively. For molar substructure the $mean{\pm}SD$ of marginal gap was $48.5{\pm}0.4{\mu}m$ and $52.6{\pm}0.4{\mu}m$ for single crown and 3-unit bridge respectively. The largest gaps were found at the occlusal area, which was $150.5{\pm}0.5{\mu}m$ and $154.5{\pm}0.4{\mu}m$ for single and 3-unit bridge premolar substructures respectively and $146.5{\pm}0.4{\mu}m$ and $211.5{\pm}0.4{\mu}m$ for single and 3-unit bridge molar substructure respectively. CONCLUSION. Independent-samples t-test showed significant differences of gap in zirconia substructure between single crowns and three-unit bridge (P<.001). Therefore, the span length has the effect on the fit of zirconia substructure that is fabricated using CAD/CAM technique especially at the occlusal area.

연구 목적: 본 연구는 다양한 CAD/CAM 시스템에 의해 제작된 지르코니아를 이용한 3-unit 브릿지 코어의 적합도를 "Replica Technique"으로 측정하여 기존 제품들의 내면 및 변연 적합도를 평가해 각 시스템의 적합 특성을 알아보고 임상 적용에 참고 자료로 활용하고자 시행하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 상악 좌측 제1소구치를 결손치로 하고 상악 좌측 견치, 상악 좌측 제2소구치를 지대치로 하는 3-unit 고정성 가공의치를 구현한 티타늄 모형을 제작하고, 40개의 실험 모형을 제작하였다. 각 모형을 10개씩 분류하고 Cerasys$^{(R)}$ (C군), Dentaim$^{(R)}$ (D군), KaVo Everest$^{(R)}$ (K군), $Lava^{TM}$ (L군)시스템으로 각각 지르코니아 코어를 제작하였다. 제작된 코어는 각 지대치마다 내면에 16개의 점을 선택하고 "Replica Technique"을 이용하여 각 포인트의 간극을 측정하였고 부위별 측정치를 비교, 평가하였다. Two-way ANOVA와 Dunnett T3 analysis를 이용하여 통계 분석하였다(${\alpha}$=.05). 결과: 모든 시스템에서 변연의 외부보다 내부에서 조금 더 큰 간극을 보이는 특징을 보였다. K군의 경우 전반적인 적합도는 우수하였으나 절단부위의 간극이 아주 크게 나타나는 특징을 보였고, C군의 경우 변연부위의 간극은 K군와 비교하여 크지만(P<.05) 전반적인 내면 간극이 다른 시스템에 비해 균일한 특징을 보였다. 축벽의 간극에서는 모든 시스템, 모든 절단부위에서 $100\;{\mu}m$ 미만의 우수한 적합도를 보였다. L군와 C군의 경우 변연의 외측부와 내측부의 간극차이가 적었으나 KaVo Everest$^{(R)}$와 Dentaim$^{(R)}$의 경우 마진 내측이 외측보다 간극이 큰 특징을 보였다(P<.05). 변연과 내면적합도로 나누어 분석하였을 때 K군과 C군이 D군과 L군보다 상대적으로 더 좋은 변연 및 내면 적합도를 보였고(P<.05) 두 지대치 중 견치가 제2소구치보다 더 좋은 적합도를 보였다(P<.05). 결론: 대부분의 시스템에서 변연 부위의 적합도는 임상적으로 허용 가능한 범위에 있었다. 변연 간극과 내면 간극 모두에서 지대치 중에 견치에서보다 제2소구치에서 더 큰 간극을 나타내었다. 또한 대부분의 시스템에서 축벽보다는 교합면 쪽 간극이 상대적으로 크게 형성되었다.
