PURPOSE. In literature, many studies compare survival rates of different types of FPDs. Most of them compared restorations, which originated from one university, but from different clinicians. Data about restoration survival rates by only one experienced dentist are very rare. The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival rate of all-ceramic FPDs without the blurring effects of different clinicians. MATERIALS AND METHODS. 153 veneered-zirconia FPDs were observed for follow-up. 22 patients received 131 single crowns and 22 bridges. Because of the different bridge lengths, one unit was defined as a restored or replaced tooth. In total, 201 units were included. Only the restorations performed by the same clinician and produced in the same dental laboratory from 2011 to 2016 were included. Considered factors were defined as "type of unit", "type of abutment", "intraoral region", and "vitality". Modified UHPHS criteria were used for evaluation. Statistical analysis was performed using cox-regression. RESULTS. 189 units (94.0%) showed no kind of failure. 5 chippings (2.4%) could be corrected by intraoral polishing. 4 units (1.9%) exhibited spontaneous decementation. These polishable and recementable restorations are still in clinical use. Chippings or decementations, which lead to total failure, did not occur. One unit was completely fractured (0.5 %). Biological failures (caries, periodontitis or periimplantitis) did not occur. The statistical analysis of the factors did not reveal any significant differences. CONCLUSION. Modern all-ceramic FPDs seem to be an appropriate therapy not only for single restorations but for complex occlusal rehabilitations.

Pulpal temperature is changed in response for various conditions which were mechanical, thermal, chemical and biological stimuli. This study was performed to determine the pulpal temperature changes which were using air turbine with air-water coolant, water coolant, and conventional dental engine with water coolant and no coolant on 28 canine of dogs. In order to record pulpal temperature, pulp chamber was opened on the labiocervical area of canine. Thermocouple was inserted into pulp chamber and was fixed with filling material(dycal). Changes of pulpal temperature were recorded on the physiograph, which had been standardized temperature degree, through thermocouple to thermistor bridge and carrier preamplifier. The amount of experimental temperature change to that of control was interpreted in the pulpal cavity. The obtained results were as followings: 1. The mean normal temperature was 33.07 centigrade. 2. The temperature was decreased than normal pulpal temperature. It was 12.04 centigrade in reduction by air turbine with air-water coolant, 7.17 centigrade in reduction by air turbine with air coolant, 5.54 centigrade in reduction by conventional engine with water coolant, and 1.26 centigrade in reduction by conventional engine with no coolant. 3. The time for maximal temperature change was 53.3 seconds in reduction by air turbine with air-water coolant, 73.4 seconds in reduction by air turbine with air coolant, 50.9 seconds in reduction by conventional engine with water coolant, and 27.1 seconds in reduction by conventional engine with no coolant. 4.. After reduction was ceased, the recovery time to normal pulp temperature was 287.1 seconds in air turbine with air-water coolant, 189.0 seconds in air turbine with air coolant, 86.9 seconds in conventional engine with water coolant, and 52.9 seconds in conventional engine with no coolant respectively.

This study was perfomed to investigate the prosthodontic and periodontal status of the abutment teeth in distally extending bridges(DEBs) (78 cases) and removable partial dentures(RPDs) (43 cases) for 122 patients (55 males and 57 females) visiting department of Periodontology, Seoul National University Hospital. The average wearing periods were 67.8 months for DEBs and 66.4 months for RPDs. 38.4% of the patients in DEBs and 35.9% in RPDs complainted of chewing discomfort and 22.6% and 24.4% were not chewing on the prosthodontically - treated sides, respectively. In DEBs, when the restoration for 2nd molar supported by 1st molar & 2nd premolar was grouped to type 1, 1st molar supported by 1st & 2nd premolars was type 2, and 1st & 2nd molars supported by 1st & 2nd premolars was type 3, there was a significant differences only in the tooth mobility score among clinical parameters (type 2>type 1>type 3). In RPDs, when bilateral free-end case was grouped to type 1, and unilateral case was type 2, there was a significant difference in the Gingival index (type 1>type 2). In DEBs, 62.8% of restoration were overcontoured, 72% had interproximal space closures, 30.5% overextended pontics and 86.6% overhanging margins. In RPDs, 24.4% of the restorations were overcontoured, 45.5% had interproxinal space closures and 58.3% overhanging margins. From these results of this study, periodontal problems caused by prosthodontic defects were considered to be contributing factors in chewing discomfort.

최근 30년간 EPS 블록은 전 세계적으로 그 사용량이 증가하고 있으며, 국내$.$외적으로 EPS 블록의 적용 분야가 확장되고 있는 추세에 있다. 그 대표적인 사례로 EPS 블록의 압축성에 따른 아칭효과를 이용한 옹벽, 교대, 매설관등 지반구조물에 작용하는 토압 저감 분야를 들 수 있다. EPS 블록은 경량성에 기인한 우수한 시공성과 밀도 변화에 따른 균질한 공학적 특성을 가지고 있으며, 또한 압축재로서 최적의 재료적 특성을 갖추고 있다. 일반적으로 EPS 블록은 밀도가 낮은 경우 동일한 하중 아래에서 보다 압축성이 우수한 경향을 보이나, 밀도가 10kg/$\textrm{m}^3$ 이하인 경우 발포 비드간 결합력이 약하여 쉽게 파괴되는 성질이 있으므로 지반공학적으로 이용할 때에는 10kg/$\textrm{m}^3$ 이상의 제품을 이용하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 지반구조물의 하중 저감을 위한 아칭재로서의 EPS 블록의 현장 적용성 평가를 위하여 콘크리트 옹벽과 콘크리트 박스 암거를 대상으로 현장시험시공을 수행하였으며, 현장시험시공 결과 아칭재인 EPS 블록을 사용할 경우 기존의 이론적인 토압에 비하여 콘크리트 옹벽의 경우 약 20% 정도, 콘크리트 박스 암거의 경우 약 45∼53% 정도인 것으로 평가되었다.

Xanthan gum and starch compound biopolymer (XS), an environmentally friendly soil-binding material produced from natural resources, has been suggested as a slope protection material to enhance soil strength and erosion resistance. Insufficient wet strength and the consequent durability concerns remain, despite XS biopolymer-soil treatment showing high strength and erosion resistance in the dried state, even with a small dosage of soil mass. These concerns need to be solved to improve the field applicability and post-stability of this treatment. This study explored the utilization of an alkaline-based cation crosslinking method using calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide to induce non-thermal gelation, resulting in the enhancement of the wet strength and durability of biopolymer-treated soil. Laboratory experiments were conducted to assess the unconfined compressive strength and cyclic wetting-drying durability performance of the treated soil using a selected recipe based on a preliminary gel formation test. The results demonstrated that the uniformity of the gel structure and gelling time varied depending on the ratio of crosslinkers to biopolymer; consequently, the strength of the soil was affected. Subsequently, site soil treated with the recipe, which showed the best performance in indoor assessment, was implemented on the field slope at the bridge abutment via compaction and pressurized spraying methods to assess feasibility in field implementation. Moreover, the variation in surface soil hardness was monitored periodically for one year. Both slopes implemented by the two construction methods showed sufficient stability against detachment and scouring, with a higher soil hardness index than the natural slope for a year.

The technology of precision attachments has developed at such a pace that from a very few T-shaped attachments and bar attachments from the years 1915 to 1935 since removable bridge utilizing a T-shaped intracoronal attachment was constructed by Dr. Herman E.S. Chayes in 1906. There are now more than 120 models of the most diversified designs, ready made or laboratory fashioned. In 1971, 126 attachments were listed and classified by Mensor in his E M Attachment Selector. This selector consists of five charts giving specifications as to type, vertical dimensions, application, type of resilience, size of movement, type of retention and type of material and alloy. Thus the E M Attachment Selector is a useful guide for dentists to choose the attachment for his patients. But dentists should apply the attachment in each patient's case according to an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. This paper is a case report of removable partial dentures utilizing CSP, PD and Bar attachment on a patient who needed full mouth reconstruction. Patient has right first, second molar and left first molar on the upper arch and also left first molar, first premolar and right canine on the lower arch. (Fig. 5)All remaining teeth are relatively healthy in their supporting tissues. On upper arch, ring shape CSP attachment was designed on left first molar and modified ring shape CSP attachment was designed on right first and second molar as the direct retainer of the removable partial denture. Full palatal coverage was used as the major connector in this case. (Fig. 23) On lower arch, author first splinted with a fixed bridge between left first molar and second premolar and a splint bar between left second premolar and right canine. (Fig. 11) A lower removable partial denture in which was designed with an Aker clasp on the left first molar and a PD attachment on .the right canine was constructed. (Fig. 17) This denture could get additional support from anterior splint bar. After both removable partial dentures were delivered to the patient (Fig. 26), author evaluated function of the dentures and supporting structures of the abutment teeth by means of clinical and X-ray examinations for eighteen months. According to the examination data author came to the conclusion that the prognosis of this case was excellent.

Statement of problem. Accurate impression is essential to success of implant prostheses. But there have been few studies about the accuracy of fixture-level impression techniques in internal connection implant systems. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of two fixture-level impression techniques in two conditions (parallel and divergent) and to assess the effect of tightening sequences and forces on stresses generated on superstructures in internal connection implant system (Astra Tech). Material and methods. Two metal master frameworks made from two abutments (Cast-to Abutment ST) each and a corresponding, passively fitting, dental stone master cast with four fixture replicas (Fixture Replica ST) were fabricated. Ten dental stone casts for each impression techniques (direct unsplinted & splinted technique) were made with vinyl polysiloxane impressions from the master cast. Strain gauges for each framework were fixed midway between abutments to measure the degree of framework deformation on each stone cast. Pairs of strain gauges placed opposite each other constituted one channel (half Wheatstone bridge) to read deformation in four directions (superior, inferior, anterior, and posterior). Deformation data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and the Tukey test at the .01 level of significance. And the effect of tightening sequences (right-to-left and left-to-right) and forces (10 Ncm and 20 Ncm) were assessed with ten stone casts made from parallel condition by the splinted technique. Deformation data were analyzed using paired t-test at the .01 level of significance. Conclusions. Within the limitations of this study, the following conclusions could be drawn. 1. Frameworks bent toward the inferior side on all casts made by both direct unsplinted and splinted impression techniques in both parallel and divergent conditions. 2. There was no statistically significant difference of accuracy between the direct unsplinted and splinted impression techniques in both parallel and divergent conditions (P>.01). 3. There was no statistically significant difference of stress according to screw tightening sequences in casts made by the splinted impression technique in parallel condition (P>.01). 4. Greater tightening force resulted in greater stress in casts made by the splinted impression technique in parallel condition (P<.01).

Dislodgement of a crown or extension bridge and the loosening of a retainer of a bridge is a serious clinical problem in fixed restoration. Generally these problems are considered to be associated with deformation of the restoration. During biting, the restoration is subjected to complex forces and deforms considerably within the limit of its elasticity. Deformation of the restoration under the occlusal force induces excessive stress in the cement film, which then leads to the cement fracture. Such a fracture may eventually cause loss of the restoration. Because most of the past retention tests for full veneer crown were done without fatigue loading, they were not exactly simulating intraoral environment. And the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of cyclic cantilever loading on the retentive strength of full veneer crowns depending on different type of cements and taper of prepared abutment. Steel dies with $8^{\circ}\;or\;16^{\circ}$ convergence angle were fabricated through milling and crowns with the same method. These dies and crowns were divided into 8 groups. Group 1 : $16^{\circ}$ taper die, cementation with zinc phosphate cement, without loading Group 2 : $16^{\circ}$ taper die, cementation with zinc phosphate cement, with loading Group 3 : $8^{\circ}$ taper die, cementation with zinc phosphate cement, without loading Group 4 : $8^{\circ}$ taper die, cementation with zinc phosphate cement, with loading Group 5 : $16^{\circ}$ taper die, cementation with Panavia 21, without loading Group 6 : $16^{\circ}$ taper die, cementation with Panavia 21, with loading Group 7 : $8^{\circ}$ taper die, cementation with Panavia 21 without loading Group 8 : $8^{\circ}$ taper die, cementation with Panavia 21, with loading After checking the fit of die and crown, the luting surface of dies and inner surface of crowns were air-abraded for 10 seconds. The crowns were cemented to the dies, with cements mixed according to the manufacturer's recommendations. A static load of 5kg was then applied for 10 minutes with static loading device. Twenty-four hours later, group 1, 3, 5, 7 were only thermocycled, group 2, 4, 6, 8 were subjected to cyclic loading after thermocycling. Retentive tests were performed on the Instron machine. From the finding of this study, the following conclusions were obtained 1. Panavia 21 showed significantly higher retentive strength than zinc phosphate cement for all groups (p<0.05). 2. There was a significant difference in the retentive strength between $8^{\circ}\;and\;16^{\circ}$ taper for zinc phosphate cement(p<0.05), but no significant difference for Panavia 21 (p>0.05). 3. Cyclic loading significantly decreased the retentive strength for all groups(p<0.05). 4. For zinc phosphate cement, there was 35% reduction of the retentive strength after loading in the $16^{\circ}$ taper die, 25% in the $8^{\circ}$ taper die, and for Panavia 21, 21% in the $16^{\circ}$ taper die, 18% in the $8^{\circ}$ taper die.

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.
