PURPOSE. To explore the influence of different surface conditionings on surface changes and the influence of surface treatments and aging on the bond strengths of composites to non-aged and aged resin nanoceramics. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Rectangular-shaped non-aged and aged (5000 thermocycles) resin nanoceramic specimens (Lava Ultimate) (n=63, each) were divided into 3 groups according to surface treatments (untreated, air abrasion, or silica coating) (n=21). The surface roughness was measured and scanning electron microscopy was used to examine one specimen from each group. Afterwards, the specimens were repaired with a composite resin (Filtek Z550) and half were sent for aging (5000 thermocycles, n=10, each). Shear bond strengths and failure types were evaluated. Roughness and bond strength were investigated by two- and three-way analysis of variance, respectively. The correlation between the roughness and bond strength was investigated by Pearson's correlation test. RESULTS. Surface-treated samples had higher roughness compared with the untreated specimens (P=.000). For the non-aged resin nanoceramic groups, aging was a significant factor for bond strength; for the aged resin nanoceramic groups, surface treatment and aging were significant factors. The failures were mostly adhesive after thermal cycling, except in the non-aged untreated group and the aged air-abraded group, which had mostly mixed failures. Roughness and bond strength were positively correlated (P=.003). CONCLUSION. Surface treatment is not required for the repair of non-aged resin nanoceramic; for the repair of aged resin nanoceramic restorations, air abrasion is recommended.

본 연구는 물성의 단점이 많은 희석재인 TEGDMA의 사용을 줄이기 위해, Bis-GMA의 유도체로서 중합수축이 적고 점도가 낮은 새로운 단량체인 methoxlyated Bis-GMA (Bis-M-GMA)를 첨가한 복합레진의 법랑질과 상아질 변연에서의 미세누출을 비교하였다. 40개의 발거된 상하악 소구치의 협면과 설면에 $2\;mm\;{\times}\;2\;mm\;{\times}\;2\;mm$ 와동을 형성하여 4개 군으로 분류하였다. Clearfil SE bond와 복합레진을 이용하여 와동을 수복하였다. EX1군은 실험용 복합레진 1 (Bis-M-GMA/TEGDMA = 95/5wt% ,40 nm 나노필러 함유), EX2군은 실험용 복합레진 2 (Bis-M-GMA/TEGDMA = 95/5wt%, 20 nm 나노필러 함유), EX3군은 실험용 복합레진 3 (Bis-GMA/TEGDMA = 70/30wt%, 40 nm 나노필러 함유), Z250군은 Filtek 2250으로 각각 와동을 수복하였다. 모든 시편은 실온의 실온의 생리식염수에서 7일간 보관한 후, $5^{\circ}C$와 $55^{\circ}C$ 의 수조에서 500회의 열순환을 실시하고, 2% methylene blue염색 용액에 24시간 담근 후, 협설측으로 치아 장축에 평행하게 절단하고 광학입체현미경하에서 각 수복물의 법랑질과 상아질 변연부의 색소침투 정도를 관찰하여 미세누출점수로 기록한 후 각 군의 유의성을 검증하였다. 법랑질 변연이 상아질 변연보다 유의성있게 낮은 미세변연누출을 보였다 (p = 0.007). 각 변연에서 EX1, EX2보다 EX3, Z250군의 염색침투도가 증가하는 경향을 보였지만 통계적으로 유의성 있는 차이를 보이지는 않았다 (p > 0.05). 점도가 낮은 새로운 레진단량체인 Bis-M-GMA는 기존의 단량체인 Bis-GMA의 대체재로 고려될 수 있다.

Statement of Problem. Endodontically treated teeth frequently required posts and cores to provide retention and resistance form for crowns. In spite of excellent mechanical properties of metal post and core, its metallic color can be detected through all ceramic restorations occasionally. To solve esthetic problems of metal post and core zirconia post system has been introduced recently. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to examine the fracture strength and mode of resin root analogs restored with zirconia, gold and titanium posts with resin, ceramic and metal cores after cementation with metal crowns. Materials and methods. To avoid the morphological variations of natural teeth, 40 root analogs were fabricated with composite resin. Forty resin root analogs were randomly assigned to four groups according to post and core materials: Group A: cast gold post and core and complete cast crowns, as control. Group B: titanium posts (Parapost, Coltent/Whaledent Inc., NJ, USA) and composite resin cores. Group C: zirconia posts (Cosmopost, Ivoclar AG, Schaan/Liechtenstein) and composite resin cores Group D: zirconia posts and heat-pressed ceramic cores (IPS Empress Cosmo Ingots, Ivoclar AG) After thermocycling ($5^{\circ}C{\sim}55^{\circ}C$, 30 sec.), cyclic loading was applied at 3mm below the incisal edge on the palatal surfaces at an angle of 135 degree to the long axis (2Hz, 50N, 50000cycles). Fracture strength was measured by universal testing machine (Instron, High Wycombe, UK) and fracture pattern of restored resin root analogs was also evaluated. Results and conclusion. Within the limitations of this study following results were drawn. 1. Resin root analogs restored with zirconia posts and composite resins demonstrated lowest fracture strength among tested groups. 2. There was no significant difference in the fracture strength between zirconia posts and heat pressed glass ceramic cores and cast gold posts and cores 3. The fracture strength of resin root analogs restored with titanium posts and composite resin cores was lower than that of gold posts and cores. 4. The deep oblique fracture lines were dominantly observed in root analogs restored with cast gold post and core and zirconia post and heat-pressed ceramic core groups.

Closure of interdental spaces using proximal build-ups with resin composite is considered to be practical and conservative. However, a comprehensive approach combining two or more treatment modalities may be needed to improve esthetics. This case report describes the management of a patient with multiple diastemas, a peg-shaped lateral incisor and midline deviation in the maxillary anterior area. Direct resin bonding along with orthodontic movement of teeth allows space closure and midline correction, consequently, creating a better esthetic result.

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.

Objectives: To evaluate the influence of the restorative technique on the mechanical response of endodontically-treated upper premolars with mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) cavity. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight premolars received MOD preparation (4 groups, n = 12) with different restorative techniques: glass ionomer cement + composite resin (the GIC group), a metallic post + composite resin (the MP group), a fiberglass post + composite resin (the FGP group), or no endodontic treatment + restoration with composite resin (the CR group). Cusp strain and load-bearing capacity were evaluated. One-way analysis of variance and the Tukey test were used with ${\alpha}=5%$. Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to calculate displacement and tensile stress for the teeth and restorations. Results: MP showed the highest cusp (p = 0.027) deflection ($24.28{\pm}5.09{\mu}m/{\mu}m$), followed by FGP ($20.61{\pm}5.05{\mu}m/{\mu}m$), CR ($17.62{\pm}7.00{\mu}m/{\mu}m$), and GIC ($17.62{\pm}7.00{\mu}m/{\mu}m$). For load-bearing, CR ($38.89{\pm}3.24N$) showed the highest, followed by GIC ($37.51{\pm}6.69N$), FGP ($29.80{\pm}10.03N$), and MP ($18.41{\pm}4.15N$) (p = 0.001) value. FEA showed similar behavior in the restorations in all groups, while MP showed the highest stress concentration in the tooth and post. Conclusions: There is no mechanical advantage in using intraradicular posts for endodontically-treated premolars requiring MOD restoration. Filling the pulp chamber with GIC and restoring the tooth with only CR showed the most promising results for cusp deflection, failure load, and stress distribution.

This study was peformed to evaluate the interfacial shear bond strength of base (direct and indirect) and repair composites with aging and surface treatment methods. Direct composite resin specimens ($Charisma^{\circledR}$, Heraeus Kulzer, Germany) were aged for 5 min, 1 hour, 24 hours, and 1 week in $37^{\circ}C$ distilled water before surface treatment, and then divided into five groups Group 1, grinding; Group 2, grinding and application of bonding agent, Group 3, grinding, etching with 37% phosphoric acid for 30sec, and application of bonding agent, Group 4, grinding, etching with 37% phosphoric acid for 30sec, silane treatment, and application of bonding agent ; Group 5, grinding, etching with 4% hydrofluoric acid for 30sec. silane treatment, and application of bonding agent. Indirect composite resin specimens ($Artglass^{\circledR}$, Heraeus Kulzer, Germany) were aged for 1 week in $37^{\circ}C$ distilled water and divided into seven groups Group 1 - Group 5, equal to Charisma specimens; Group 6, grinding, etching with 37% phosphoric acid for 60sec, silane treatment, and application of bonding agent; Group7, grinding, etching with 4% hydrofluoric acid for 60 sec, silane treatment, and application of bond-ing agent. The repair material($Charisma^{\circledR}$) was then added on the center of the surface (5 mm in diameter. 5 mm in height). The shear bond strength was tested and the data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA and the Student- Newman-Keuls test. The following conclusions were drawn. 1 The shear bond strength of $Charisma^{\circledR}$ specimens aged for 1 hour was significantly higher in Group 2 and Group 5 than in Group 1 (p<0.05), and that of $Charisma^{\circledR}$ specimens aged for 1 week was signifi-cantly higher in Group 3 and Group 5 than in Group 1 (p<0.05). No significant difference was found in the bond strength of specimens aged for 5 min and 24 hours. 2. In Group 2 of the $Charisma^{\circledR}$ specimens, there was significant difference between the bond strength of 24 hours and that of 1 week (p<0.05). 3. In Group 4 of the $Charisma^{\circledR}$ specimens, the shear bond strength of specimens aged for 24 hours was significantly higher than the others(p<0.05) 4. There was no significant difference between the shear bond strength of the $Artglass^{\circledR}$ specimens, 5. Most of the $Charisma^{\circledR}$ specimens showed cohesive fractures. Artglass^{\circledR}$ specimens that were etched with acid (phosphoric or hydrofluoric) for 30 sec showed more cohesive fractures.

One disadvantage of Glass Ionomer Cement Restoration is the difficulty in polishing. To find the appropriate polishing method, we polished the surface of Glass Ionomer Cement Restorations by 11 combination methods serially using disks shared with large-small particles and evaluated the polishing process in terms of surface roughness, surface roughness curve, and SEM findings. In addition, a visible light curing type bonding material was applied to evaluate the possible improvement in surface properties. The following results were obtained. 1. The disk surface of Glass Ionomer Cement was polished serially by disks with superfine particles, but it didn't become smooth. 2. The surface of Microfilled Composite resin became smoother as using a disk with finer particles. 3. When a visible light curing type bonding material was applied in finishing process, the surface of Glass Ionomer Cement became smooth as much as the applied matrix.

CAD/CAM-fabricated ceramic restorations nowadays are used as alternatives of amlagam and posterior composite resin restorations, especially in the cases of inlay restorations. But the reported results on marginal and internal fit of CAD/CAM-fabricated ceramic inlay have showed considerable difference. In this study, to evaluate the marginal and internal fit of CEREC2-fabricated ceramic inlay restoration and to compare with the fit of gold inlay and amalgam restoration, standardized Class II MO cavities were prepared in forty extracted caries-free human premolars. The teeth with prepared cavities were divided into 4 groups of ten teeth each. In group 1, CEREC2-fabricated ceramic inlays were treated with Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Plus(SMP plus) and cemented with Scotchbond Resin Cement. In group 2, casted gold inlays were cemented in the same method as in group 1. In group 3, casted gold inlays were cemented with zinc-phosphate cement. And in group 4, the prepared cavities were restored with amalgam. Restored teeth were thermocycled, stored in 1% methylene blue for 24 hours, and sectioned faciolingually and mesiodistally using EXAKT. Sectioned surfaces were observed with stereomicroscope and the gaps were measured at 9 points of mesiodistally sectioned surface and 7 points of faciolingually sectioned surface. The measured data were treated by Kruskal-Wallis one way ANOVA and Student-Newman-Keuls test. 1. The differences among measured gaps at each points were statistically significant for 4 experimental groups (P<0.05). 2. There were statistically significant differences in the measured gaps at each points between group 1 and group 2, group 1 and group 3, group 1 and group 4, group 2 and group 4, and group 3 and group 4 (P<0.05). 3. There were not statistically significant differences in the measured gaps at each points between group 2 and group 3 (P>0.05). 4. In the cases of inlay restorations(group 1, group 2, group 3), the gaps at internal line angle(distopulpal, axiogingival, faciopulpal, linguopulpal line angle) had a tendency to increase. In the cases of amalgam restorations(group 4), the gaps at occlusal margin, gingival margin and axiogingival line angle were greater than those at the other parts of cavities. 5. In CEREC2-fabricated ceramic inlays which were treated with Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Plus and cemented with Scotchbond Resin Cement, the mean gaps were $111{\mu}m$ at cavity margins, $168{\mu}m$ at vertical walls of cavities, $225{\mu}m$ at internal line angles and $123{\mu}m$ at cavity floors.
