When conventional root canal treatment is failed or contraindicated, retrograde root canal filling following apicoectomy is a valuable procedure, aimed at hermetically sealing the root canal against leakage of irritants from the canal into the periapical tissue. In this in vitro investigation, to analyze apical microleakage electrochemically in teeth with different retrograde filling materials and preparation types, single - rooted tooth was cut 2mm from the apex and each Class I and Slot preparation was prepared. Experimental groups : Group 1. Amalgam filling with cavity varnish in Class I preparation Group 2. Scotchbond 2+Silux filling in Class I preparation Group 3. Gutta percha filling with ZOE cement in Class I preparation Group 4. Amalgam filling with cavity varnish in Slot preparation Group 5. Scotchbond 2+Silux filling in Slot preparation Each specimens was immersed in 1% solution of KCl, and applied a potential of 9V external power supply. Measurements of the current flow were obtained at 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 25 and 28 day after immerson. Marginal microleakage were compared and evaluated. The results were as follows ; 1. The group filled with composite resin with dentin bonding agent shows lower apical microleakage value than the group filled with amalgam following varnish application (P<0.01). 2. In the group filled with gutta percha, apical microleakage value was the hightest 3. There was no significant difference between Class I cavity and Slot type cavity regardless of the used materials.

이 연구에서는 Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA)와 4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride (4-META) / methyl methacrylate (MMA) & tri-n-butylborane (TBB) 레진을 혼합하여 치근단 역충전 재료로 사용하였을 때의 미세누출을 MTA, 포틀랜드 시멘트와 비교하였다. 발치된 사람 치아의 근관형성 및 충전 후 치근단 절제와 역충전 와동을 형성하였다. MTA, Portland cement, MTA와 4-META/MMA & TBB레진을 혼합한 각각의 재료로 치근단을 역충전한 후 methylene blue dye에 72시간 동안 침적하여 염료가 침투한 길이를 10배 현미경 하에서 측정하였다. MTA와 4-META/MMA & TBB 레진 혼합 충전 군에서는 포틀랜드 시멘트나 MTA 충전군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 적은 미세 누출을 보였으며, 포틀랜드 시멘트와 MTA 충전군의 미세 누출 정도는 통계적으로 차이가 없었다. 이 실험의 결과로 보아 MTA와 4-META/MMA & TBB레진 혼합 재료는 치근단 역충전시 포틀랜드 시멘트나 MTA에 비해 낮은 초기 미세누출을 보여, 치근단 봉쇄 효과가 우수한 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to compare the apical sealing effect of Microseal obturation technique with lateral condensation technique in 26 recently extracted single rooted teeth. The root canals were instrumented using step-back technique and obturated with laterally condensed gutta-percha or Microseal. Teeth were suspended in methylene blue dye for 2 days and then longitudinary splited. The apical microleakage and the adaptability of gutta-percha to the root canal wall were examined under a stereomicroscope at ${\times}20$ magnification. The results were as follows: 1. The mean leakage was 1.38${\pm}$1.18 mm for laterally condensed gutta-percha group, and 0.71${\pm}$0.57 mm for Microseal gutta-percha group. But there was no statistical difference between two groups. 2. In Microseal gutta-percha group, they showed no gap between the master cone and Microseal gutta-percha, and showed homogeneous mass. 3. In contrast, laterally condensed gutta-percha group showed some gaps not only between gutta-percha cones, but also between gutta-percha cones and the canal walls, and the gaps were filled with some sealer. And also this group showed some amout of sealer on the root canal walls, Within the limits of the results of this experiment, Microseal gutta-percha obturation technique demonstrated relatively favorable apical sealing effect and shorter obturation time. Thus, it is thought that this obturation technique is a acceptable method for clinical use but further studies on this matter should be conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of customized master cone on apical sealing in various apical size of prepared root canals, that is MAF(Master Apical File) and to know at which apical size the apical leakage is to be significantly reduced using customized master cone. 120 extracted single rooted premolars were divided into four groups according to their apical size(MAF), #30, 40, 50 and 60. And then, each group was subdivided into three in accordance with three obturation methods, lateral condensation with standardized master cone, lateral condensation with chloroform-dipped customized master cone, and continuous wave of obturation technique. Resorcinol-formaldehyde resin was used for the microleakage test of this study. Teeth were sectioned horizontally at 1.5mm(Level 1), 2.5mm(Level 2), and 3.5mm(Level 3) from the anatomical root apex using low speed microtome. All sections were examined under $\times$40 magnification with a stereomicroscope, photographed, and then scanned. With the scanned images, resin-infiltrated area presenting the microleakage was calculated using SigmaScan/Image, and the ratio of leakage to the total root canal area of each group was analyzed statistically(one way ANOVA). The results were as follows ; 1. In groups of MAF #30, there was no significant difference of mean leakage ratio among three obturation methods at all three levels. 2. In groups of MAF #40, the group using lateral condensation with customized master cone had the low-est mean leakage ratio at all three levels, but there was no significant difference among three obturation techniques. 3. In groups of MAF #50, the mean leakage ratio of the group using lateral condensation with standard master cone was the highest among those of three obturation techniques at level 1, and this difference was statistically significant(p<0.05). 4 In groups of MAF #60, the groups using lateral condensation with standard master cone had also the highest mean leakage ratio at all levels, but there was no significant difference at level 1 and 2. At level 3, the leakage of the group using lateral condensation with standard master cone was significantly higher than that of the group using continuous wave of obturation(p<0.05). The results of this study suggested that the obturation method using customized master cone or the continuous wave of obturation is more effective for apical sealing than that using standardized master cone when MAF is larger than ＃50.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microleakage of root-end filling material filled in blood contaminated root-end cavity and self-etching adhesive placed over blood contaminated resected root apices without root-end preparation. Extracted, human maxillary incisors, canines and mandibular premolar were randomly divided into four groups of 15 teeth each. After canal preparation, resection of the apex and root-end preparation, MTA and IRM were filled in the root-end cavity (A and B group). After canal preparation and resection of the apex, Clearfil SE Bond and Prompt L-Pop were applied over the contaminated root-end surfaces (C and D group). The roots were then subjected to 15cm of water pressure to simulate periapical microleakage stress. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. The results were as follows : 1. All groups showed a tendency of decreasing microleakage in process of time after 2weeks later except IRM group. 2. After 2 weeks and 1 month, MTA group showed less microleakage significantly than other groups(p<0.05). After 2 months, Prompt L-Pop group showed less microleakage significantly than other groups(p<0.05). 3. After 9 months, there were no significant differences among four groups(p>0.05). Thus it is considered that apical sealing using adhesives system without root-end preparation is good method in endodontic surgery.

본 연구에서는 근관형성의 치근단 크기가 근관 충전의 치근단 폐쇄에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 36개의 단근관, 단근치를 대상으로 3가지 치근단 크기 (Master apical file : #25, #40, #60)에 따라 3가지 실험군으로 나누어 $Profile^{(R)}$과 $LightSpeed^{(R)}$를 이용하여 근관을 확대하고, Modified continuous wave technique으로 근관충전을 시행하였다. 미세누출의 측정을 위해 실험군당 10개의 치아를 1주일간 India ink에 넣어 색소 침투를 일으키고 치아를 투명화시켜 미세누출의 정도를 측정하였다. 미세누출에 치근단 크기가 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA를 시행하였고, 사후 검정을 위하여 Student-Newman-Keuls method를 시행하였다. 또한, 치아 단면의 형태를 관찰하기 위하여 색소 침투까지 실행된 각 실험군당 2개의 치아를 근첨 1 mm에서 4 mm까지 1 mm간격으로 수평 절단하고 사진 촬영하였다. 각 실험군에서 측정된 미세누출양을 Krustal-Wallis one-way ANOVA에서 분석한 결과 치근단 크기는 유의성 있게 (P < 0.05) 미세누출에 영향을 미쳤으며 치근단 크기가 클수록 미세누출의 평균간과 표준편차 값은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. Student-Newman-Keuls method를 통한 사후 검정에서 치근단 크기가 #25 - #40, #25 - #60에서 유의 한 차이를 보였으며 #40 - #60간에는 통계적인 유의차는 없었다. 단면형태에서는 대부분의 치아에서 난원형의 근관 형태를 관찰 할 수 있었고, 치근단의 크기가 작을수록 성형된 근관에 불규칙한 내면이 존재하였고 gutta-percha나 sealer로 충전되지 않는 recess의 면적이 증가함을 알 수 있었으며 이러한 recess는 미세누출의 통로가 됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과, Modified continuous wave technique으로 근관충전시 근관 형성된 치근단 크기가 커질수록 보다 일관되고 성공적 인 결과를 예상할 수 있는 근관충전을 시행할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of additional enamel etching with phosphoric acid on the microleakage of the adhesion of self-etching primer system. Class V cavity($4mm{\times}3mm{\times}1.5mm$) preparations with all margins in enamel were prepared on buccal surface of 42 extracted human upper central incisor teeth. Prepared teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups. Group 1：no additional pretreatment with 37% phosphoric acid (NE). Group 2：additional pretreatment with 37% phosphoric acid for 10 seconds (E10s). Group 3：additional pretreatment with 37% phosphoric acid for 20 seconds (E20s). The adhesives(Clearfil SE $Bond^{\circledR}$, Kuraray, Osaka, Japan) and composite resins(Clearfil $AP-X^{\circledR}$, Osaka, Kuraray, Japan) were applied following the manufacturer's instructions. All the specimens were finished with the polishing disc(3M dental product, St Paul, MN, USA), thermocycled for 500 cycles between $5^{\circ}C$ and $55^{\circ}C$ and resected apical 3-mm root. 0.028 stainless steel wire was inserted apically into the pulp chamber of each tooth and sealed into position with sticky wax. Surrounding tooth surface was covered with a nail varnish 2 times except areas 1mm far from all the margins. After drying for one day, soaked the samples in the distilled water. Microleakage was assessed by electrochemical method(System 6514, $Electrometer^{\circledR}$), Keithley, USA) in the distilled water. In this study, the microleakage was the lowest in group 1 (NE) and the highest in group 3(E20s)(NE
