현재는 도로조명의 경우 기존 메탈할라이드 램프 400W이하로 설치되어 있어 에너지절약형 조명으로 대체가 이루어지고 있으며, 무전극 램프는 터널조명과 고천정조명 적용분야를 타겟으로 더욱 활발한 교체가 이루어질 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 추가적으로 고효율, 고출력 무전극 램프 시스템 개발이 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 고출력 무전극 램프의 설계 및 제작을 진행하여 가스종류 및 가스압에 따른 비교 분석, 아말감 종류에 따른 특성 분석 등을 통한 무전극 램프 최적화를 진행하였다. 현재 고출력 무전극 램프 방전관 및 페라이트코어에 맞는 가스압 300~350[mmHg] 사이로 최적화 하였다. 인듐(In) 아말감을 적용한 무전극 램프로 점등회로 매칭을 완료하여 250W(정격${\pm}10%$)로 정격소비전력으로 최적화를 완료하였다.

Many dentists have been taken an interest in restoration of severly damaged teeth after endodontic treatment and it is a true that there are lots of studies about it. In these days, although we have used Para-Post, pins, threaded steel post, cast gold post and core, and so on, as a method of restoration frequently, it has been in controversy with the effects of them on the teeth and surrounding periodontal tissue. In this study, we assume that the crown of the upper 1st premolar was severly damaged, and after the root canal therapy, two most common types of restoration were carried out ; 1) coronal-radicular amalgam restoration, 2) after setting up the Para-Post, restore with amalgam core and gold crown. After restoration, in order to present the concentration of stress at internal portion of the tooth and the surrounding periodontal tissue, we doveloped a 2-dimensional finite element model of labiopalatal section, then loaded forces from 2 long perpendicular to the lingual incline of buccal ridge an the middle point, parallel to the long direction axis of tooth at the fossa-were applied. The analyzed results were as follows : 1. Stress of the normal first premolar was concentrated on the most weakest anatomical structure, that is, cervical area, and no stress on the bifurcated area of the canal. 2. Crown restoration after root canal therapy causes large stress concentration on the bifurcated area of the canal. This stress concentration has larger value in case of lateral movement of mandible, and there are decrease in the stress concentration compared with natural tooth. 3. Coronal-radicular amalgam restoration method transports more stress to the tooth structure than restoration using Para-Post. 4. There are more stress concentration around Para-Post in the case of lateral movement, and we have more favo rable result when restored with Para-Post. 5. Generally, stress in the lateral movement is larger than stress in the perpendicular load.

Recently, a second generation composite resin system(ceromer) was introduced with significantly improved mechanical properties. The purpose of this study was to compare a ceromer with the other restorative materials and to assess its clinical usefulness. In this study, we used four restorative materials : amalgam (BESTALOY$^{(R)}$), indirect composite resin (Clearfil CR Inlay$^{(R)}$), ceromer (Targis$^{(R)}$) and ceramic (Vintage$^{(R)}$). And then we devided into four groups. The materials of each group were as follows : Amalgam group : BESTALOY$^{(R)}$ (Dong Myung Dental Industrial Co.) Composite Resin group : Clearfil CR Inlay$^{(R)}$ (Kuraray) Ceromer group : Targis$^{(R)}$ Dentin (Ivoclar-Vivadent) Ceramic group : Vintage$^{(R)}$ (Shofu Inc.) According to the above classification, we made samples through the polymerization of BESTALOY$^{(R)}$, Clearfil CR Inlay$^{(R)}$ and Targis$^{(R)}$ with separable cylindrical metal mold and firing of Vintage$^{(R)}$ in a investment mold. And then, we measured and compared the value of compressive strength, diametral tensile strength and Vicker's microhardness of each sample. The results were as follows : 1. Amalgam showed the highest value of compressive strength (390.37${\pm}$42.22MPa) and the value of ceromer was somewhere between ceramic and indirect composite resin. There were significant differences among the experimental groups(p<0.001). 2. Indirect composite resin showed the highest value of diametral tensile strength (74.21${\pm}$15.33MPa) and there was no significant difference with ceromer. Ceromer was higher diametral tensile strength than amalgam and ceramic (p<0.001). 3. Ceramic showed the highest value of microhardness (538.44${\pm}$37.38Hv) and the value of ceromer was somewhere between ceramic and indirect composite resin. There were significant differences among the experimental groups (p<0.001).

많은 치과 임상가들은 아말감을 치질에 접착시키기 위해서 여러 접착재료를 이용해왔다. 이 런 술식의 장점으로는 미세누출의 감소로 인한 술후과민증의 감소, 변연파절의 감소, 삭제 후 치질의 강화, 적은 유지형태에서의 수복물의 유지등이 제시되어 왔다. 실제로 임상적 상황에서 이러한 술식의 장점을 확인할 필요가 있다. 이런 접착제가 임상적 환경에서 어떠한 잇점을 보이지 않는다면 시간과 비용을 낭비하는 이런 술식을 정당화하지 못할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 73개의 치아를 대상으로 하여 I급 와동과 II급 와동에 접착형과 비접착형 아말감으로 수복하였다. 접착제로는 Fuji I Glass Ionomer luting cement를 이용하였다. 평균 2년 후에 변연적합성을 평가하였으나 접착형 아말감과 비접착형 아말감 사이에 유의한 차이는 없었다.

Post and core is used to restore endodontically treated teeth, and it is a very important part which supplies retention and support to the prosthesis. But occasionally, caries occured due to the microleakage at the post and core and tooth interface, the failure of prosthesis has happened. In this study, the microleakage of cast gold post and core, amalgam core, and composite resin core was investigated and compared. The coronal part of the extracted upper anterior teeth were removed and endodontically treated with conventional method. The teeth were divided into three groups. In group 1, cast gold post and core was cemented with resin cement and in group 2, ready-made post was cemented with resin cement and amalgam core was built. In group 3, ready-made post was cemented with resin cement and composite resin core was built. All specimens were thermocycled between $5^{\circ}C\;and\;55^{\circ}C$ with dwell time of 15 seconds, and immersed in 0.5% aqueous solution of basic fuchsin dye for 24 hours. After embedded in the epoxy resin, the specimens were sectioned longitudinally and observed with stereomicroscope with the magnification of 25. From the findings of this study, the following conclusions were obtained. 1. There was microleakage at the core/tooth interface of all specimens. 2. The microleakage of gold post and core was significantly less than those of the other two groups. 3. There was no significant difference between the microleakage of amalgam core and that of composite resin core.

The purpose of this study was to compare the marginal leakage of resin liner which was used as a liner to amalgam restoration. Control group composed of no liner group, copalite group and experimental group composed of All-bond 2, Vitrebond, Superbond D-liner applied groups were evaluated. Cl.V preparation with a size of $3{\times}2{\times}1.5mm$ on 70 extracted primary molars were made and applied appropriate liners for each groups. After amalgam filling and polishing, polished specimens underwent temperature changed from $5^{\circ}C\;to\;55^{\circ}C$ a thousand times. After thermocycling, specimens were placed in 2% methylene blue dye solution for 72 hours in an incubator set at $37^{\circ}C$. The teeth were sectioned buccolingually and the degree of dye penetration was observed with a spectroscopy. (${\times}30$) The following results were obtained. 1. Vitrebond, All-bond 2, Superbond D-liner group exhibited a statistically significant lower degree of dye penetration than no liner and copalite group. (Kruskal-Wallis analysis, P<0.05) 2. No liner group and copalite group exhibited a similar degree of dye penetration. (Mann-Whitney analysis, P>0.05) 3. All-bond 2 group exhibited a statistically significant lower degree of dye penetration than Vitrebond group, (Mann-Whitney analysis, P<0.05) Superbond D-liner group also exhibited a lower degree of dye penetration than Vitrebond group but was statistically insignificant. (Mann-Whitney analysis, P>0.05)

Objectives: Based on the amount of amalgam, the duration of exposure, and the water pH, this study aims to investigate the change patterns in the mercury concentrations in water after amalgams have been introduced into sewage water. It is expected that the study results will be useful in improving the system for regulating the amount of mercury that is introduced into the environment. Methods: During the study, a glass test-tube with a cap was washed and disinfected using the glass laboratory device washing method. Then, 1, 2, 3, and 4 tabs were placed into a 10 mL pH 4 solution and 10 mL pH 7 distilled water. Each specimen was prepared in duplicate. The mean of the two mercury concentrations was used as the representative value, and the mercury concentration was measured using a mercury measurement device (DMA-80, Milestone, Italy) a total of eight times at one-week intervals. Results: The results show that the lower was the pH, the higher was the amount of amalgam. Also the longer was the duration, the more significant was the increase of mercury concentration in the water. Conclusions: Dental clinics are collected separately from dental clinics that used them. Given this, dental clinics in Korea must have the necessary facilities to separately collect mercury at their level. In addition, proper disposal systems and social attention to the proper management of dental wastes are required to prevent environmental pollution from mercury.

The aim of the study was to analyze the distribution of dental filling materials for carious permanent teeth of school children in a city. The study was designed as time-serial study, using the data of the dental survey for children aged 8-, 10- and 12-year children living in Gimhae city. The samples were selected by stratified clusters sampling. The number of surveyed samples in depth-analysis for types of dental filling materials were 567 in 2009 and 331 in 2013, respectively. They had dental restorations on one or more teeth. The changing pattern of used dental filling materials was analyzed between 2009 and 2013. Statistical analysis was conducted according to variables related to dental filling material type; DMFT and DMFS index, number of fissure sealed teeth and surface and surveyed year. Amalgam filling rate decreased from 27.9% in 2009 to 18.8% in 2013, while filling rate of tooth-colored materials increased from 56.1% in 2009 and 68.9% in 2013. Amalgam filling rate was a negative correlation with filling rate of tooth-colored materials or gold and number of fissure sealed teeth and a positive correlation with DMFT index. Filling rate of tooth-colored materials was a negative correlation with filling rate of amalgam or gold and DMFT index and a positive correlation with number of fissure sealed teeth. The light-curing composite resin should be included in the reimbursement range of National Health Insurance to solve an inequity of dental health care services.
