Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the relative radiopacities of cavity lining materials (Resin-modified Glass Ionomer cement, Compomer and Plowable resin) for posterior composite resin restoration. Material & Methods: Resin-modified glass ionomer cement (Fuji II LC, Vitrebond/sup TM/), Compomers (Dyract /sup (R)/ Compoglass, F2,000, Dyract/sup (R)/ flow Compoglass Flow) and Flowable resins (Tetric/sup (R)/ flow, Aeliteflo/sup TM/ Revolution/sup TM/) were used. Five specimens of 5 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick were fabricated with each material. Human molars were horizontally sectioned 2 mm thick to include both enamel and dentin. The radiopacities of enamel, dentin, cavity lining materials, aluminum step wedge were obtainded from conventional radiograph and NIH image program. Results: All the tested lining materials showed levels of radiopacity the same as or greater than that of dentin. All compomer tested (Dyract, Compoglass, F2,000, Dyract flow, Compoglass Flow) and Vitrebond/sup TM/, Tetric/sup (R)/ flow were more radiopaque than enamel. The radiopacities of Fuji II LC and Revolution/sup TM/ were between enamel and dentin and resin-modified glass ionomer cement, Compomer and Tetric/sup (R)/ flow were greater than those of Revolution/sup TM/, Aeliteflo/sup TM/ or dentin. The level of radiopacity of the tested materials was variable; those with low radiopacity should be avoided in class II restorations, where a clear determination of recurrent caries by the examining clinician could be compromised. Conclusion: Clinician should be able to distinguish these cavity lining materials radiographically from recurrent decay, voids, gaps, or other defects that lead to clinical failure. Utilization of materials ranked more radiopaque than enamel would enable clinicians to distinguish the lining material from tooth structure.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the clinical longevity of a bulk-fill resin composite in Class II restorations for 3-year. Materials and Methods: Patient record files acquired from the 40 patients who were treated due to needed 2 similar sizes Class II composite restorations were used for this retrospective study. In the experimental cavity, the flowable resin composite SDR was inserted in the dentinal part as a 4 mm intermediate layer. A 2 mm coverage layer with a nano-hybrid resin composite (CeramX) was placed on SDR. The control restoration was performed by an incremental technique of 2 mm using the nano-hybrid resin composite. The restorations were blindly assessed by 2 calibrated examiners using modified United States Public Health Service criteria at baseline and 1, 2, and 3 years. The data were analyzed using non-parametric tests (p = 0.05). Results: Eighty Class II restorations were evaluated. After 3-years, 4 restorations (5%) failed, 1 SDR + CeramX, and 3 CeramX restorations. The annual failure rate (AFR) of the restorations was 1.7%. The SDR + CeramX group revealed an AFR of 0.8%, and the CeramX group an AFR of 2.5% (p > 0.05). Regarding anatomical form and marginal adaptation, significant alterations were observed in the CeramX group after 3-years (p < 0.05). The changes in the color match were observed in each group over time (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The use of SDR demonstrated good clinical durability in deep Class II resin composite restorations.

최근 개발된 bulk-fill 복합레진에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있지만 소아환자 치료에 사용할 수 있는 적절한 재료인지에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 유구치의 2급 와동에서 bulk-fill 복합레진과 전통적 복합레진의 와동 적합성을 비교 평가하는 것이다. 발치 된 80개의 유구치의 근심 또는 원심에 2급 와동을 형성한 후 4개의 군으로 무작위로 나누었다. 대조군은 전통적 복합레진인 Filtek$^{TM}$ Z-350 XT(FZ)으로 수복하고 나머지 3개의 군은 bulk-fill 복합레진인 Filtek$^{TM}$ Bulk Fill Posterior Restorative(FB), Tetric N-Ceram$^{(R)}$ BulkFill(TNC)과 Filtek$^{TM}$ Bulk Fill Flowable Restorative(FBF)으로 수복하였다. 모든 시편을 열순환 시행한 후 50% 질산은($AgNO_3$)용액에 침적시켰다. Micro-CT를 이용하여 전체 질산은의 침투 부피와 치경부의 변연누출 정도를 측정하였고 기포의 개수, 크기, 위치를 평가하였다. 질산은의 침투 부피에서 FB가 FZ보다 유의하게 낮은 값을 보였고(p < 0.05), TNC와 FBF는 FZ와 비슷한 값을 보였다. 치경부 부분의 변연누출 정도는 FBF가 FZ와 FB보다 유의하게 낮은 값을 보였다(p < 0.05). 기포의 개수와 크기는 4개 군 모두 유의한 차이가 없었으나 기포의 위치는 전통적 복합레진에서는 전체 기포의 83.3%가 수복물 내부에 분포하였고, bulk-fill 복합레진에서는 치은축면 선각에 많이 분포하였다. 유구치 2급 와동에서 bulk-fill 복합레진과 전통적 복합레진의 와동에 대한 적합성은 유사한 결과를 보여주었다. 따라서 소아의 치아우식증 수복치료 시 bulk-fill 복합레진이 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the changes of marginal adaptation to the cavity floor of light-cured glass ionomer cement base after application of a composite restoration. Eighty non-carious extracted human molars were used in the present study. Circular cavities were prepared on the center of the exposed dentin surface to 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm in depth and the prepared cavities were pretreated with Dentin conditioner and filled with Fuji II LC(GC Int. Co., Japan). They randomly assigned into 3 groups according to the difference in application of a composite restoration; Group 1(control group): only glass ionomer base, Group 2: The application of a composite restoration surrounded by dentin with class I cavity over glass ionomer base after conventional dentin bonding to the exposed dentin and glass ionomer base, Group 3: The application of composite restoration not-surrounded by dentin over glass ionomer base after conventional dentin bonding to the exposed dentin and glass ionomer base. To examine the interface between cavity floor and light-cured glass ionomer cement base, each groups were sectioned vertically through the center of restorations with diamond saw and the gap size(${\mu}m$) of interface measured by SEM. The results were analyzed by using One Way ANOVA. The results were as follows: 1. Good adaptation between glass ionomer cement base and cavity floor was showed in specimens with 0.5mm, 1.0mm depth base of control group. But in specimens with 1.5mm, 2.0mm depth base of control group, the gap was measured about $15{\mu}m$, $40{\mu}m$ respectively. 2. Gap size in group 2 was significantly higher than that in control group(P<0.05). 3. Gap size in group 3 was significantly higher than that in control group and group 2(P<0.05). 4. It was possible to observe the good adaptation between glass ionomer cement base and dentin which was intermediated with 4-10${\mu}m$ hybrid layer in specimens with 0.5mm, 1.0mm depth base of control group. Cohesive fracture within cement base was observed in all specimens which had the gap between glass ionomer cement base & dentin. 5. It was possible to observe the gap formation between cement base and bonding agent and between composite resin and dentin in all specimens of group 2.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the marginal microleakage of condensable composite resin restorations according to flowable resin lining of internal cavity wall. The eighty extracted human molar teeth without caries and/or restorations are used The experimental teeth were randomly assigned into four groups of ten teeth each. Eighty caries-free extracted human molars were used in this study. The conventional class II cavities (box-shaped on mesial and distal surface, faciolingual width : 3mm, gingival wall depth : 1.5mm) were prepared 1mm below cementoenamel junction with a # 701 carbide bur. The teeth were divided into four groups, and then each group were subdivided into A & B group according to flowable resin & compomer lining ; Group 1-A : Tetric Ceram filling, Group 1-B : Tetric Flow lining and Tetric Ceram filling, Group 2-A Ariston pHc filling, Group 2-B : Tetric Flow lining and Ariston pHc filing, Group 3-A SureFil filling, Group 3-B : Dyract Flow lining and SureFil filling, Group 4-A : Pyramid filling, Group 4-B : Aeliteflo lining and Pyramid filling. To simulate as closely as possible the clinical situation during retoration placement, a "restoration template" was fabricated, and the condensable resin was filled using a three-sited light-curing incremental technique. All the materials used were applied according to the manufacturers' instructions. The specimens were stored in the 100% humidity for 7 days prior to thermocycling (100 thermal cycles of 5~55$^{\circ}C$ water with a 30-second dwell time) The specimens were immersed in 2% metyleneblue dye for 24 hours, and then embedded in transparent acrylic resin and sectioned mesiodistally with diamond wheel saw. The degree of marginal leakage was scored under stereomicroscope ($\times$20) and the data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test and Wilcoxon signed ranks test. The results were as follows : 1. In the gingival margins of all the group, microleakage of subgroup B was less than subgroup A. 2. In the group 1, 2, 4, there was significant differences between subgroup A and B (p<0.05), but in the group 3, there was not significant different between group 3-A (SureFil) and group 3-B (Dyract flow/SureFil) (p>0.05). 3. In the subgroup A and B, there was significant different between all group except group 4 of subgroup A. From the results above, it was suggested that the cavity lining of flowable resin and flowable compomer in condensable resin restoration decrease microleakage at gingival margin, and does improve their ability to seal the gingival margin of class II preparation.

소아 환자의 인접면 우식을 치료할 때 컴포머는 불소를 방출하는 재료로 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 하지만 구강내 환경은 항상 습윤한 상태로 타액은 컴포머와 치질 사이의 접착을 방해할 수 있다. 수복시에 타액이 게재하게 되면 미세누출이 발생할 가능성이 높아지게 되며 그로 인해서 수복의 실패가 일어날 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 컴포머를 수복할 시에 타액의 영향과 수복 방법에 따른 미세누출 정도를 평가하기 위해서 시행하였다. 컴포머로서 Dyract $AP^{(R)}$(Dentsply, Germany)를 사용하였으며 Dentin bonding agent로는 Prime and $Bond^{(R)}$ NT (Dentsply, Germany)를 사용하였고, 광중합을 위해서 Elipar Trilight (3M ESPE, USA)를 사용하였다. 구강내 환경을 재현하기 위해서 saliva pool을 제작하였다. 소구치 2개를 인접하여 시편을 제작한 후에 2급 와동을 형성하여 수복 환경을 다르게 하여 컴포머를 충전한 후에 500회 thermocycling하였다. 그 후 0.5% methylene blue 용액에 24 시간 동안 담근 후에 실체 현미경을 통해서 교합면과 치은면에서의 미세누출 정도를 측정하였다. Kruskal-Wallis Test와 Mann-Whitney Test를 이용하여 각 군간 유의성을 검정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 교합면에서의 각 군간 통계학적 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 2. 치은면에서 $Oraseal^{(R)}$을 이용하여 수복한 3군이 타액 오염을 시키지 않은 4군과 통계학적 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 3. 치은면에서 1군과 2군 사이에는 통계학적 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 4. 치은면에서 $Oraseal^{(R)}$을 이용하여 수복한 3군이 1, 2군보다 통계학적으로 더 낮은 미세누출 정도를 보였다(p<0.05).

The resistance to fracture of the restored tooth may be influenced by many factors, among these are the cavity dimension and the physical properties of the restorative material. The placement of direct composite resin restorations has generally been found to have a strengthening effect on the prepared teeth. It is the purpose of this investigation to study the relationship between the cavity isthmus and the fracture resistance of a tooth in composite resin restorations. In this study, MO cavity was prepared on the maxillary left first molar and then filled with composite resin. Three dimentional model with 3049 nodes and 2450 8-node blick elements was made by the serial photographic method and isthmus (1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 2/3 of intercusplal distance between mesiobuccal cusp tip and mesiolingual cusp tip) was varied. Two types of model(B and R model) were developed. B model was assumed perfect bonding between the restoration and cavity wall and R model was left unfilled. A load of 1500N was applied vertically on the node from the lingual slope of the mesiobuccal cusp. The results were as follows : 1. There was a significant decrease of stress resulting in increase of fracture resistance in B model when compared with R model. 2. When it comes to stress distribution, the stress was concentrated in the facio-gingival line angle and the buccal side of the distal margin of the cavity in both Band R model. 3. With the increase of the isthmus width, the stress decreased in the area of the facio-gingival line angle, and increased in the area of facio-gingival line angle as well as the buccal side of the distal margin of the cavity in B model. In R model, the stress increased both in the area of facio-gingival line angle and the buccal side of the distal margin of the cavity, therefore the possibility of crack increased. 4. As the width of cavity increased, in B model, the direction of crack moved from horizontal to vertical on the facio-gingival line angle and the facio-pulpal line angle. In R model, the direction of the crack was horizontal on the facio-gingival line angle and moved from horizontal to the $45^{\circ}$ direction on the facio-pulpal line angle.

The purpose of this study was to examine the fracture strength and characteristics of teeth with MOD cavity preparation. Freshly extracted sound maxillary premolars were cleaned and stored in normal saline solution $37^{\circ}C$ for 72 hours before experiments. The roots of teeth were embedded in a self-curing resin, and the exposed crown were maintained in a vertical position by a modelling wax in a brass ring. The MOD cavities were prepared with No. 57 carbide bur under high speed to a depth of 2.0mm and a width of 2.0mm(Fig.1). All the prepared teeth specimens were divided into 7 groups according to the mode of cavity form and restorative materials (Table 1, 2): Group I, unpreapred, intact teeth as control Group II, prepared cavity without restoration Group III, prepared teeth restored with amalgam Group IV, prepared teeth restored with composite resin (P-10) Group V, prepared teeth with beveled enamel margins restored with composite resin (P-10) Group VI, prepared teeth restored with light-cured composite resin (P-30) Group VII, prepard teeth with beveled enamel margins restored with light-cured composite resin (P-30) After placement of restorations, all of the specimens were stored in water at $37^{\circ}C$ for 72 hours before testing. All of the specimens were tested on the Instron Universal Testing machine (No. 6025) in order to evaluate the strength of fracture. One metal ball 5.0mm in diameter contacting the specimens parallel to the occlusal surface was used to in this study (Fig. 1). The fracture characteristics of the specimens were examined with naked eye and in the scanning electron microscope (JSM-20). The results obtained from this study were as follows: 1. The mean fracture strength was the highest in group VI and that in group II was the lowest. 2. The progress of crack of teeth propagated into the pulp cavity. 3. In case of the group of the restored teeth, the crack occurred to be accompanied with cuspal fracture. 4. The crack of restored teeth was initiated along the pulpo-axial line angle of the cavity.
