  • 본 연구는 코어용 이중 중합 레진의 중합도에 미치는 두께의 영향과 빛이 감소된 깊은 와동에서 자가 중합에 의한 영향을 조사하고자 하였다. Luxacore Dual과 Luxacore Self (DMG Inc, Hamburg, Germany) 두 종류의 코어용 레진 수복재를 지름 10 mm, 두께가 2, 4, 6, 8 mm 의 Teflon mold에 주입하고 자가중합 시키거나 혹은 $500 mW/cm^2$의 광도로 제조자의 지시에 따라 중합 후 $37^{\circ}C$ 증류수에 24시간동안 저장하였다. 각 시편의 윗면과 아랫면에서 Knoop's hardness를 측정하였다. 결과는 ANOVA로 통계 분석 하였고 Tukey's test로 사후 검정하였다. Luxacore Self와 Luxacore Dual을 자가중합 시킨 군의 중합도는 두께에 따른 영향을 받지 않았다. Luxacore dual을 광중합한 경우 중합은 2 mm, 4 mm와 6 (적층충전) mm군에서는 밑면의 효과적인 중합이 일어났으나 8 (적층충전) mm군, 6, 8 (단일충전) mm군은 밑면에서 불완전한 중합을 보였다 (p < 0.05). 따라서 이 실험 결과에 의하면 4 mm를 초과하는 경우 단일충전보다 적층충전이 더 좋은 것으로 나타났다.

  • 복합 레진은 소아치과 영역에서 대중적으로 사용되는 재료가 되었다. 하지만 복합 레진은 중합 수축을 최소화하기 위하여 적층 충전을 해야 하기 때문에 긴 시술 시간이 필요하다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위하여 임상가들은 bulk-filling 재료에 관심을 돌리기 시작하였고, 최근 bulk-base 복합 레진이 새로 출시되었다. 본 연구는 bulk-base 복합 레진의 깊이별 미세경도 측정값을 비교, 평가하였다. 실험군으로 1종의 저점도 bulk-base 복합 레진과 1종의 고점도 bulk-base 복합 레진을 사용하였고 대조군으로 1종의 전통적 복합 레진을 사용하였다. 각 깊이별 재료들의 미세경도에 대한 결과로 대조군의 경우는 중합 깊이가 깊어질수록 미세경도의 유의한 차이를 보였다(p < 0.05). 이에 반해 실험군 인 HFB는 0 mm와 4 mm에서, 그리고 MFB는 0 mm와 2 mm, 0 mm와 3 mm에서 각각 유의한 차이를 보였으나 높이에 따른 유의한 감소 경향을 보이지는 않았다. 각각의 깊이에서 시편들의 미세경도를 비교하였을 때 표면과 2 mm에서는 대조군이 실험군보다 큰 미세경도를 보였다(p < 0.05). 3 mm에서는 저점도 실험군이 대조군보다 미세경도가 크게 나왔으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 아니었다. 하지만 4 mm에서는 모든 실험군이 대조군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 큰 미세경도 값을 보였다(p < 0.05). 이번 실험을 통하여 bulk-base 복합 레진이 4 mm에서 기존의 복합 레진보다 더 높은 미세경도를 보였고 표면과 2 mm에서는 더 낮은 미세경도를 보이는 것을 관찰하였다. 그러므로 bulk-base 레진의 기계적 성질의 향상을 통해 표면의 낮은 미세경도 특성이 극복된다면 소아 환자의 수복 치료 시 적용이 고려되어 질 만 할 것이다.

  • Objectives: This study evaluated the relationship between the battery charge level and irradiance of light-emitting diode (LED) light-curing units (LCUs) and how these variables influence the Vickers hardness number (VHN) of a bulk-fill resin. Materials and Methods: Four LCUs were evaluated: Radii Plus (SDI), Radii-cal (SDI), Elipar Deep Cure (Filtek Bulk Fill, 3M Oral Care), and Poly Wireless (Kavo Kerr). Irradiance was measured using a radiometer every ten 20-second activations until the battery was discharged. Disks (4 mm thick) of a bulk-fill resin (Filtek Bulk Fill, 3M Oral Care) were prepared, and the VHN was determined on the top and bottom surfaces when light-cured with the LCUs with battery levels at 100%, 50% and 10%. Data were analyzed by 2-way analysis of variance, the Tukey's test, and Pearson correlations (α = 5%). Results: Elipar Deep Cure and Poly Wireless showed significant differences between the irradiance when the battery was fully charged versus discharged (10% battery level). Significant differences in irradiance were detected among all LCUs, within each battery condition tested. Hardness ratios below 80% were obtained for Radii-cal (10% battery level) and for Poly Wireless (50% and 10% battery levels). The battery level showed moderate and strong, but non-significant, positive correlations with the VHN and irradiance. Conclusions: Although the irradiance was different among LCUs, it decreased in half of the devices along with a reduction in battery level. In addition, the composite resin effectiveness of curing, measured by the hardness ratio, was reduced when the LCUs' battery was discharged.

  • The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of various polymerization techniques on the microleakage of compomer restorations. Fifty extracted human premolars and molar were used and randomly divided into 5 groups. After cavity preparation, compomer (F2000$^{\circledR}$) was filled according to the manufacturer's directions. All groups, except group 5, were filled using an incremental technique. Group 1 was polymerized for 40 seconds at a continuous 485mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ with a VIP$^{\circledR}$(Bisco, USA) light cure unit. Group 2 was polymerized for 20 seconds at 345mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and then for 20 seconds at 645mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ with the VIP equation omitted light cure unit. Group 3 was polymerized at 400mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$, gradually increased to 50mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 10 seconds until 550mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ was reached; total 40 seconds with a Spectrum 800$^{\circledR}$ (Dentsply Caulk, USA) light cure unit. Group 4 was polymerized for 3 seconds using an incremental technique with a Flipo$^{\circledR}$ (LOKKi, France) light cure unit. Group 5 was polymerized for 3 seconds using a bulk fill technique with the Flipo$^{\circledR}$ light cure unit. The specimens were embedded with acrylic resin, and were sectioned with diamond saws in a mesiodistal direction along the longitudinal axis of the tooth so as to pass through the center of the restoration, and three surfaces (occlusal, pulpal, and gingival) were examined with SEM. The results were as follows ; 1. Group 5 showed a significantly larger gaps compared to other groups on the gingival, occlusal, and pulpal walls. 2. All groups except group 5 had no statistically significant gap on the gingival, occlusal, and pulpal walls. 3. There was no significant correlation between the amount of enamel on the gingival and occlusal walls and polymerization shrinkage.

  • The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the more thorough cure of lightactivated composite resin could be obtained if a new way of delivering the light source deep through the resin body is developed when compared to the conventional bulk cure or incremental cure. Using cylindrical resin blocks and natural teeth, various curing conditions were tested for their effects on the degree of microleakage and microhardness. Data were analyzed statistically using One-Way ANOVA and Scheff's Multiple Range test. The results of the present study were as follows: 1. The increment of reduction in microhardness with depth was shown to be higher in group I and II than in group II and V. 2. At the level of lower inner surface and the bottom surface, significantly lower microhardness values were obtained in group I and II when compared to group III, IV and V. Group IV showed the lowest value among three groups(III, IV, V) representing the only statistically significant difference from group V(p<05). 3. Differences between groups in the degree of microleakage detected were shown to be statistically significant (p<05) with the exception of group IV and V at both occlusal and gingival margins. 4. Based upon the above-mentioned results, commonly cited recommendation of incremental curing is strongly supported and the light-transmitting wedge insertion method can be considered as a effective and feasible clinical procedure for the better curing of composite resin. However, more studies under a variety of conditions should be completed before this method is applied actually to the clinical setting.

  • The early landmark discoveries in cancer metabolism research have uncovered metabolic processes that support rapid proliferation, such as aerobic glycolysis (Warburg effect), glutaminolysis, and increased nucleotide biosynthesis. However, there are limitations to the effectiveness of specifically targeting the metabolic processes which support rapid proliferation. First, as other normal proliferative tissues also share similar metabolic features, they may also be affected by such treatments. Secondly, targeting proliferative metabolism may only target the highly proliferating "bulk tumor" cells and not the slowergrowing, clinically relevant cancer stem cell subpopulations which may be required for an effective cure. An emerging body of research indicates that altered metabolism plays key roles in supporting proliferation-independent functions of cancer such as cell survival within the ischemic and acidic tumor microenvironment, immune system evasion, and maintenance of the cancer stem cell state. As these aspects of cancer cell metabolism are critical for tumor maintenance yet are less likely to be relevant in normal cells, they represent attractive targets for cancer therapy.

  • The aim of this study was to measure the cusp deflection during composite restoration for MOD cavity in premolar and to examine the influence of cavity dimension, C-factor and restoration method on the cusp deflection. Thirty extracted maxillary premolar were prepared to four different sizes of MOD cavity and divided into six groups. The width and depth of the cavity were as follows. Group 1; $1.5{\;}{\times}{\;}1{\;}mm$, Group 2; $1.5{\;}{\times}{\;}2{\;}mm$, Group 3; $3{\;}{\times}{\;}1{\;}mm$, and Group 4-6; $3{\;}{\times}{\;}2{\;}mm$ respectively. Group 1-4 were restored using bulk filling method with Z-250 composite. However, Group 5 was restored incrementally, and Group 6 was restored with an indirect resin inlay. The cusp deflection was recorded at the buccal and lingual cusp tips using LVDT probe for 10,000 seconds. The measured cusp deflections were compared between groups, and the relationship between the cube of the length of cavity wall/the cube of the thickness of cavity wall ($L^3/T^3$). C-factor and cusp deflection or % flexure ($100{\;}{\times}$ cuspal deflection / cavity width) was analyzed. The cusp deflection of Group 1-4 were $12.1{\;}\mu\textrm{m},{\;}17.2{\;}\mu\textrm{m},{\;}16.2{\;}\mu\textrm{m}{\;}and{\;}26.4{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$ respectively. The C-factor was related to the % flexure rather than the cusp deflection. There was a strong positive correlationship between the $L^3/T^3$ and the cusp deflection. The cusp deflection of Group 5 and 6 were $17.4{\;}\mu\textrm{m}{\;}and{\;}17.9{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$ respectively, which are much lower value than that of Group 4.

  • Multiple particle tracking microrheology is used to characterize the viscoelastic properties of biomaterial and synthetic polymer gels near the liquid-solid transition. Probe particles are dispersed in the gel precursors, and their dynamics are measured as a function of the extent of reaction during gel formation. We interpret the dynamics using the generalized Stokes-Einstein relationship (GSER), using a form of the GSER that emphasizes the relationship between the probe particle mean-squared displacement and the material creep compliance. We show that long-standing concepts in gel bulk rheology are applicable to microrheological data, including time-cure superposition to identify the gel point and critical scaling exponents, and the power-law behavior of incipient network's viscoelastic response. These experiments provide valuable insight into the rheology, structure, and kinetics of gelling materials, and are especially powerful for studying the weak incipient networks of dilute gelators, as well as scarce materials, due to the small sample size requirements and rapid data acquisition.

  • The comprehensive understanding of the fiber reinforced polymer behavior requires the use of advanced non-destructive testing methods due to its heterogeneous microstructure and anisotropic mechanical proprieties. In addition, the material response under load is strongly associated with manufacturing defects (e.g., voids, inclusions, fiber misalignment, debonds, improper cure and delamination). Such imperfections and microstructures induce various damage mechanisms arising at different scales before macrocracks are formed. The origin of damage phenomena can only be fully understood with the access to underlying microstructural features. This makes X-ray Computed Tomography an appropriate imaging tool to capture changes in the bulk of fibrous materials. Moreover, Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) can be used to measure kinematic fields induced by various loading histories. The correlation technique relies on image contrast induced by microstructures. Fibrous composites can be reinforced by different fiber architectures that may lead to poor natural contrast. Hence, a priori analyses need to be performed to assess the corresponding DVC measurement uncertainties. This study aimed to evaluate measurement resolutions of global and regularized DVC for glass fiber reinforced polymers with different fiber architectures. The measurement uncertainties were evaluated with respect to element size and regularization lengths. Even though FE-based DVC could not reach the recommended displacement uncertainty with low spatial resolution, regularized DVC enabled for the use of fine meshes when applying appropriate regularization.

  • 본 연구는 1급 복합레진 수복물에서 할로겐 광조사기를 이용한 4가지 중합방법이 상아질의 결합강도에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위하여 시행하였다. 발거된 상 하악 대구치 20개의 교합면측 법랑질을 Diamond Wheel Saw를 이용하여 제거한 후 1급 와동을 형성하였다. 중합방법에 따라 파동지연 중합방법 (PD) 군, 연성 중합방법 (SS) 군, 파동 중합방법 (PC) 군, 지속 중합방법 (CC) 군의 4개 군으로 분류하고, Z250 복합레진을 각 군의 와동에 충전한 후 광조사하였다. 각 군의 시편을 주수하에 접착계면의 단면적이 $1mm^2$가 되도록 절단하여 막대모양의 시편을 제작하였고, 각 군당 20개의 시편을 사용하여 미세인장 결합강도를 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. PD 군은 PC 군과 CC 군보다 통계학적으로 더 높은 미세인장 결합강도를 나타내었다. 2. SS군의 미세인장 결합강도는 PC 군과 CC 군보다 높게 나타났으나, 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 결론적으로, 1급 복합레진 수복물을 중합할 때 파동지연 중합방법과 연성 중합방법을 사용하여 중합속도를 조절함으로써 상아질과 복합레진의 결합강도를 개선할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
