One of the primary advantage of acrylic resin teeth is their ability to bond chemically to the denture base resins. But, occasionally, failure have been observed in which acrylic resin teeth break lose from the denture, indicating that chemical bonding does not always occur. The most probable explanation for this type of failure was the presence of a trace of wax remaining as a residue on the surfaces of the teeth after the boiling-out procedure which adgered to the tooth surface and prevented bonding. The purpose of this stdy was preparing the specimens of denture base resin with acrylic resin teeth that four treatment method to ridge lap portion of the tooth and investigated bond between the teeth and denture base resin with tensile strength. Compared results of tensile strength on test specimens were as follows: 1. The mean of strength among the four test groups showed the difference was significant enough(P 0.01). The order of its strength mean was methylene chloride treatment group, detergent solution treatment group, kerosene-ether treatment grgoup, boiling water only group. 2. In compared results between the wax eliminating method groups, there were significant difference between the boiling water only group and other groups(P 0.01), no significant difference were found in the wax eliminating method groups except boiling water only group(P 0.05).

Purpose: In this study, when the etching treatment method, which is a chemical surface treatment method, is applied to colored zirconia, the shear bond strength between the veneering ceramic material and colored zirconia is compared with that without surface treatment, and the fracture type is observed to evaluate the etching treatment effect of colored zirconia. Methods: Experiments were conducted after dividing the study sample into two groups, which are the zirconia control group without surface treatment using colored zirconia blocks (without etching zirconia, NZC group) and the zirconia group treated with a commercially available etching solution (etching liquid zirconia, EZC group). Results: The mean shear bond strength of the NZC group was 20.31±2.32 Mpa, and that of the EZC group was 25.95±2.34 Mpa, and the difference between these two values was statistically significant (p<0.05). Further, the surface roughness Ra value was higher in the EZC group than in the NZC group. In the fracture pattern, cohesive fractures were dominant, and adhesive fractures and cohesive fractures were mixed. Conclusion: The bond strength was significantly higher in the group treated with colored zirconia. The fracture pattern was mostly cohesive failure in the group not treated with etching and changed to mixed failure as the etching treatment progressed.

A method for synthesizing branched fructo-oligosaccharides (BFOS) with a high concentration of sucrose ($1{\~}3$ M) was developed using levansucrase prepared from Leuconortoc mesenteroides B-1355C. The degree of polymerization of oligosaccharides synthesized according to the present method ranged from 2 to over 15. The synthesized BFOS were stable at a pH ranges of 2 to 4 under $120^{\circ}C$. The percentage of BFOS in the reaction digest was $95.7\%$ (excluding monosaccharides; $4.3\%$ was levan). BFOS reduced the insoluble glucan formation by Streptococcus sobrinus on the surfaces of glass vials or stainless steel wires in the presence of sucrose. They also reduced the growth and acid productions of S, sobrinus. Oligosaccharides can be used as sweeteners for foods such as beverages requiring thermo- and acid-stable properties and 3s potential inhibitors of dental caries.

Nowadays, the development of dental scanner and CAD/CAM technology can facilitate the fabrication of hybrid prosthesis. Double scanning technique, scanning a trial prosthesis and master model, made it possible to realize virtual design and simplify the laboratory work. Instead of using the metal or zirconia framework with composite, ceramic or denture tooth, the new high performance polymer Polyetherketoneketone (Pekkton, Cendres+$M{\acute{e}}taux$, Biel, Switzerland) as a framework with Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) veneering teeth (Visio-lign, Bredent, Senden, Germany) was used in this case. This case report showed an acceptable treatment outcome and satisfaction of patient using Pekkton and Visio-lign. However, long term clinical evaluation is needed.
