PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of immediate dentin sealing (IDS) on bond strength of ceramic restoration under various thermocycling periods with DBA (dentin bonding agent system). MATERIALS AND METHODS. Fifty freshly extracted human mandibular third molars were divided into 5 groups (1 control and 4 experimental groups) of 10 teeth. We removed enamel layer of sound teeth and embedded them which will proceed to be IDS, using All Bond II. A thermocycling was applied to experimental groups for 1, 2, 7, 14 days respectively and was not applied to control group. IPS Empress II for ceramic was acid-etched with ceramic etchant (9.5% HF) and silane was applied. Each ceramic disc was bonded to specimens with Duo-link, dual curable resin cement by means of light curing for 100 seconds. After the cementation procedures, shear bond strength measurement and SEM analysis of the fractured surface were done. The data were analyzed with a one-way ANOVA and Tukey multiple comparison test (${\alpha}$=.05). RESULTS. There were no statistically significant differences between 4 experimental groups and control group, however the mean value started to decrease in group 7d, and group 14d showed the lowest mean bond strength in all groups. Also, group 7d and 14d showed distinct exposed dentin and collapsed hybrid layer was observed in SEM analysis. CONCLUSION. In the present study, it can be concluded that ceramic restorations like a laminate veneer restoration should be bonded using resin cement within one week after IDS procedure.

We investigated the electrical properties the starting material and sintering condition on the laminated PTC thermistor for micro circuit protection. The influences of $BaTiO_3$ powder with the 0.3 and 0.45 ${\mu}m$ size and the electrical characteristics (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ sintered at 1350~1400$^{\circ}C$ for 2 h in a reducing atmosphere (1% $H_2/N_2$). The sintered (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ was increased pore and the grain size was decreased according to increasing Sr additions. In relative permittivity, the phase transition temperature of (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ was decreased for 2.5$^{\circ}C$ according to increasing 0.01 mole Sr additions, and the phase transition dose not appeared about 0.3 mole Sr addition. The (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ was show the low resistance from 0.01 mole to 0.05 mole by Sr addition, regardless of sintering temperature. The (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ was show $10^2$ jump order at 0.1 and 0.2 mole Sr addition, and PTCR of the sintered $(Ba_{0.7}Sr_{0.3})TiO_3$ does not appeared about 0.3 mole Sr addition, regardless of the sintering temperature and starting material size.

Electrical properties of the laminated SMD-type PTC thermistor for microcircuit protection were investigated as a function of calcination and sintering temperature. $BaTiO_3$ with $Y_2O_3$ and $MnO_2$ were calcined at 1000 to $1150^{\circ}C$ for 2h and the laminated SMD-type PTC thermistor was sintered at 1350 to $1400^{\circ}C$ for 2h in a reduced atmosphere (1% $H_2/N_2$). Sintered density of the sample was dependent on the calcination and sintering temperature. Electrical properties of the sintered samples were strongly dependent on the densities of samples. For the samples with density below 4.6 g/$cm^3$, the insulator characteristics were observed, while PTC jump characteristics (R150/R30) were disappeared for the sample with density above 5.05 g/$m^3$. Optimal PTC characteristics were obtained for the sintered samples with density of 5.05 g/$m^3$. The laminated SMD-type PTC thermistor prepared by calcination at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 2h and sintering at $1270^{\circ}C$ for 2h showed the room temperature resistivity of $11{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and PTC jump characteristics of $10^2$ order.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the translucency of two different laminate ceramic veneers with and without glazing. Materials and methods: Ten millimeter side square-shaped specimens in 0.3 mm and 0.6 mm thick were fabricated for the following materials with and without glazing (n=80): A1 shade IPS e.maxPress (IEM) and Styleveneers (STV). The color coordinates (CIE $L^*a^*b^*$) of the specimens were measured with a colorimeter. The Translucency parameter (TP) was calculated from the color difference of the material on a black versus a white background. For comparisons between materials and between the 'not glazed' and 'glazed' groups, unpaired t-test was used to analyze the data (P=.05). Results: The TP ($Mean{\pm}SD$) of 'not-glazed' and 'glazed' group of IEM specimens at 0.3 mm thickness were $45.99{\pm}3.00$ and $49.53{\pm}2.28$ and the TP at 0.6 mm thickness were $32.82{\pm}2.59$ and $43.02{\pm}0.98$, respectively. Likewise, the TP of 'not-glazed' and 'glazed' group of STV specimens at 0.3 mm thickness were $47.03{\pm}3.65$ and $50.95{\pm}3.05$ and the TP at 0.6 mm thickness group were $34.48{\pm}1.28$ and $43.39{\pm}1.20$, respectively. As the glazing of ceramic veneer differed, the TP of each ceramic veneer showed statistically significant difference. But, the result between the products was not statistically different. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, we are concluded that the glazing process changed translucency of laminate ceramic veneers and the TP would not be affected by products.

To improve warpage, delamination and the chemical reaction between 2 different co-fired materials, the bonding behavior with common glass was studied. As shown in the previous paper, the phenomenon of the infiltration is different with the composition of the glass. In particular, in the case of low temperature melting glass, infiltration is experimented in this study. GA-1 glass is infiltrated among $BaTiO_3$ particles below $800^{\circ}C$ and is made by glass/ceramic composite. Until the laminate is fired under $850^{\circ}C$, provskite phase is observed. Although in the case of GA-12 glass, the temperature of the glass infiltration is lower than it of GA-l glass, the perovskite phase already disappears at $800^{\circ}C$. As a result, GA-1 and GA-12 glasses are infiltrated among particles at low temperature, however, the chemical reactivity of the glass/ceramic and sintering temperature should be considered.

Although various kinds of porcelain restorations, including full porcelain jacked crowns and laminate crowns, are used for Esthetic Dentistry nowadays, the most widely used one so far is porcelain metal restoration. It goes without saying that shade matching in porcelain-metal restoration is much more difficult than in full ceramic veneer restoration because of the metal substructure limitation of the porcelain to metal restoration and then let it go even when shade matching is a little bit unsatisfactory. I think a more satisfactory shade matching can be achieved by developing more elaborate techniques, by selecting proper metal and porcelain and by enabling more detailed communication between the dentists and the dental technicians. Some considerations will be made in an attempt to achieve more successful outputs.

The anisotropy and shape of distributed piezopolymer actuator have advantages over isotropic piezo ceramic materials, since these features of PVDF can be utilized as another design variable in control application. This study is interested in the reduction of sound transmission through elastic plate into interior space by using the PVDF actuator. The plate-cavity system is adopted as a test problem. The vibration of composite plate and the sound fields through plate are analyzed by using the coupled finite element and boundary element method. Some numerical simulations are performed on sound transmission through elastic plates. To investigate the effects of anisotropy and shape of distributed piezopolymer actuator, various kinds of distributed PVDF actuators are applied in sound control simulation for isotropic and anisotropic plates. The PVDF actuators applied are different from each other in their shapes and laminate angles. The results of control simulation show that the control effectiveness of distributed PYDF actuator can be enhanced by using the coupling between shape of actuator and vibration modes of structure and the anisotropy of piezoelectric properties of PVDF.

Purpose: Pathologic tooth migration (PTM) commonly occurs in the anterior region and is associated with periodontal disease. The treatment of PTM of anterior teeth can be complex and time consuming, and a multidisciplinary approach is often required. Materials and Methods: The patient was a 38-year-old woman with a chief complaint of saving and realigning her elongated maxillary left central incisor. This paper describes the successful combined periodontal regenerative (guided tissue regeneration) and prosthetic treatment and a 2-year follow-up of maxillary central incisor with pathologic tooth migration, deep intrabony defect, and poor prognosis. Results: The right maxillary central incisor was restored by laminate veneer and the left by all-ceramic crown. The patient had no pain and discomfort and was satisfied with the outcomes of her treatment for 2 years. She has maintained her recall program at the Department of Periodontology at 3 months interval. Conclusion: The key step in the successful treatment of PTM in anterior region is to obtain a high level of cooperation from the patient. Maintenance of the treatment result of PTM is dependent on the continuous preservation of periodontal health.

Purpose: This study was to investigate the effect of three different surface treatments on the shear bond strength of lithium disilicate ceramics to enamel. Methods: Totally 60 lithium disilicate ceramic disc specimens were fabricated with IPS e.max press (Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) and Mazic Claro (Vericom, Korea). 30 specimens in each lithium disilicate ceramic were assigned to 3 groups of the each following surface treatment: 1) $50{\mu}m$ airborne particle abrasion+silane, 2) 9.5% hydroflouric acid etching (HF)+silane, 3) $50{\mu}m$ airborne particle abrasion+9.5% HF+silane. Lithium disilicate ceramic surfaces after surface treatments were AFM examined. The shear bond strength was measured in a universal testing machine at 0.5mm/min crosshead speed. All data were analyzed using a two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test(${\alpha}=0.05$). Results: The mean surface roughness of lithium disilicate ceramics ranged from $0.178{\mu}m$ to $0.441{\mu}m$. The mean shear bond strengths ranged from $23.81{\pm}2.78MPa$ to $33.99{\pm}4.85MPa$. Conclusion: 1. Mazic Claro showed higher shear bond strength than IPS e.max press at 3 different surface treatments, and no statistically significant was observed. 2. The shear bond strength of IPS e.max press was strongly enhanced as surface treated with $50{\mu}m$ airborne particle abrasion and 9.5% hydroflouric acid etching. And there was no statistical significance at the shear bond strength of Mazic Claro with surface treatments.

In spite of the word esthetics having been familiar to us during the last twenty odd years, difficulties are still faced nowadays as if new challenges constantly emerge. This is perhaps best interpreted as a tendency to avoid dealing with it owing to the fact we are not quite used to it. It is probably a lack of a basic roadmap for esthetics, not of evolution. Every prosthesis has its own strengths and weaknesses. Expected results would be obtained if and when the patient's adaptation to prosthesis is correctly anticipated, appropriate diagnoses made and optimal pre-operative measures taken. At this stage, communication and patient information sharing between the dentist and dental technician are very important factors in the treatment process, as well as each party's unique specialized role. It would not be an exaggeration to state that the success of a lab made prosthesis would depend on how well these factors have been systemized. Based upon the above treatment procedures, it is now intended to examine esthetic prostheses involving porcelain laminate veneers that enable the most conservative treatment with the most significant favorable characteristics.
