Statement of problem : Accurate impression is essential to success of implant prostheses. But there have been few studies about the accuracy of fixture-level impression technique in internal connection implant system. Purpose: This study evaluated the accuracy of splinted fixture-level impression technique using clinical methods and the effect of internal hex on fit of superstructure in internal connection implant system (Astra Tech). Material and method : Two metal master frameworks made from two abutments (Cast-to Abutment ST) each for parallel and divergent conditions and a corresponding. passively fitting, dental stone master cast with four future replicas (Fixture Replica ST) were fabricated. Ten dental stone casts were made with vinyl polysiloxane impressions from the master cast by acrylic resin splinted fixture-level impression technique. To evaluate the accuracy of impression technique, the fit of master frameworks for test models was evaluated using screw resistance test (SRT) and one-screw test. The results of SRT were recorded as SRT values from grade 1 to grade 5 by 1/4 turn. And to evaluate the effect of hex on fit of superstructure, the same tests were performed after removing hexes of master frameworks. Results: 1. There was only one case (2.5%) showing SRT value of test model below ade 2 in total before and after removing hexes of master frameworks. And, by removing hexes. SRT values decreased in only one test model (5%) and did not change in 17 test models (85%). 2. SRT values of the 1$^{st}$ screws were grade 2 in 80% of cases before, and grade 1 in 80% of cases after removing hexes. And, by removing hexes, SRT values decreased in 72.5% of cases. 3. SRT values of the 2$^{nd}$ screws were grade 3 in 85% of cases before, and grade 3 in 95% of cases after removing hexes. And, by removing hexes, SRT values did not change in 85% of cases. 4. There were only 2 cases regarded as acceptable fit by one-screw test, and SRT values of 2$^{nd}$ screws of both cases were grade 2. Conclusion. Within the limitations of this study, future-level impression of internal connection implant system is considered to obtain inaccurate working cast, even using acrylic resin splinted impression technique. And, it is considered to be unable improve the fit to remove the hexes of implant restoration.

Disinfection of dental impressions are necessary due to contamination with patient’s saliva and blood, which is a potential for cross-infection. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of disinfection of four hydrophilic rubber impression materials with three disinfecting solutions, on the dimensional stability and surface hardness of improved stone casts. Three hydrophilic vinyl polysiloxane impression materials(Express, Reprosil, Exafine) and one polyether impression material(Impregum-F) were mixed according to the manufacturer’s directions and impressions were made on a ADA specification No. 19 stainless-steeldie. On removal of the impressions, each impression was immersed in one of the disinfectants(Banicide, Potadine, Clorox) for 10 minutes. After disinfection, type IV improved stone. casts were poured. On this cast, the linear dimension and surface hardness were measuredusing a Measurescope(Nikon, Japan) and a Barcol hardness tester(Barber, Colman Co U. S. A). The results were as follows : 1. The improved stone casts from disinfected Reprosil and Impregum-F impression material did not show dimensional changes(P>0.01). Those from disinfected Express and Exafine impression material showed dimensional changes(P<0.01). The amount of shrinkage was not clinically significant. 2. The improved stone casts from disinfected Express impression material did not exhibit changes in surface hardness(P>0.01), but those from disinfected Reprosil, Exafine, Imp regnum-F impression material showed changes in surface hardness(P<0.01). 3. The dimensinal stability and surface hardness of the improved stone casts were satisfactory using Banicide on Express, all disinfectants used in this study on Reprosil, Potadin and Clorox on Exafine, Banicide and Clorox on Impregum-F. According to these results, immersion disinfection of hydrophilic rubber impression mate rials did not adversely affect the resultant casts. Nevertheless compatibility tests of impression materials and disinfectants should be done when disinfecting impressions.

This study was performed to measure the retentive force of dental impression tray according to retention form. The 9 resin beams($30{\times}60{\times}2.5mm$) were made of visible light-curing tray resin according to the surface texture, the size of hole and the number of rim. The resin block was fabricated in width 50mm, length 30mm, heght 40mm to maintain an even hydrocolloid impression material. The retentive force between the resin beam and hydrocolloid impression material was measured by Universal Testing Machine(Zwick Z020, Zwick Co., Germany). The results obtained in this study were as follows : 1. The retentive force of the resin beam with bilateral 4 rims, 2mm holes(9group) was highest(9.18kg), and the polishing resin beam(2group) was worst(4.85kg). 2. There was no significant difference between the polished the resin beam(2group) and the contrast resin beam(1group). 3. The retentive force of the rimmed resin beam was higher than the perforated resin beam. 4. The retentive force of the 2mm perforated resin beam(4group) was higher than the 3mm perforated resin beam(3group). 5. As increasing the number of rim increased the retentive force.

Purpose: To evaluate the three-dimensional trueness of upper and lower denture bases produced using a digital light processing (DLP) printer and immersed in a constant-temperature water bath. Methods: An edentulous model was prepared and fitted with denture bases and occlusal rims manufactured using base plate wax. After scanning the model, denture bases, and occlusal rims, complete denture designs were created. Using the designs and a DLP printer, 10 upper and 10 lower complete dentures were manufactured. Each denture was scanned before (impression surface of upper denture base before constant temperature water bath [UBC] and impression surface of lower denture base before constant temperature water bath [LBC] groups) and after (impression surface of upper denture base after constant temperature water bath [UAC] and impression surface of lower denture base after constant temperature water bath [LAC] groups) immersion in the constant-temperature water bath. Scanned files were analyzed by comparing reference and scanned data, with statistical analysis conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis test (α=0.05). Results: Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences between the UBC and LBC groups, nor between the UAC and LAC groups (p>0.05). However, significant differences were observed between the UBC and UAC groups and between the LBC and LAC groups, i.e., before and after the constant-temperature water bath for both maxillary and mandibular denture bases (p<0.05). Conclusion: Denture bases not immersed in the constant-temperature water bath (UBC and LBC groups) exhibited error values within 100 ㎛, whereas those immersed in the water bath (UAC and LAC groups) showed error values exceeding 100 ㎛.

The purpose of this study was twofold. One was to evaluate the wettability of 4 elastomeric impression materials on tooth and different kinds of filling materials. The other was to identify the effect of topical surfactants sprayed on the surface of each impression. The elastomeric impression mate rials used in this experimental study were one polyether(Impregum F) and three polyvinyl siloxanes(Provil novo, Zerosil, Imprint). The abutments were prepared for 3/4 crown or onlay on the extracted human first molar. The filling materials used in this study for the duplication of prepared abutment were composite resin, amalgam, and casting metal. Impression was taken by manufacturer's recommendations and the number of voids on the impression surface was counted. The topical surfactants were Spannex $II^{(R)}$ and $Cohere^{(R)}$. The wettability was evaluated by comparing the number of voids between non-treated group and treated groups. The results were as follows : 1. $Zerosil^{(R)}$ showed the least number of voids on the impression surface. The number of voids increased in order of Provil $novo^{(R)}$, Impregum $F^{(R)}$, and $Imprint^{(R)}$. 2. Impregum $F^{(R)}$ and $Zerosil^{(R)}$ showed the least number of voids on the surface of dental stone master cast. The number is inclosed in order of Provil $novo^{(R)}$ and Imprint 3. When abutment material is tooth, the number of voids on the surface of master cast was smallest compared with that of other abutment materials. The number of voids increased in order of casting metal, amalgam and composite resin 4. The number of voids on the surface of the dental stone master cast was smallest when Spannex $II^{(R)}$ was used, followed by $Cohere^{(R)}$ treated group and non-treated group. These results suggest that the difference in wettability caused by the types of rubber base impression materials as well as abutment materials can affect the number of voids. And the use of topical surfactant for rubber base impression materials can improve the wettability of the materials and enhance the accurate master cast which has fewer surface voids.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the repeatability of the digitizing of silicon rubber impressions of abutment teeth by using a white light scanner and compare differences in repeatability between different abutment teeth types. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Silicon rubber impressions of a canine, premolar, and molar tooth were each digitized 8 times using a white light scanner, and 3D surface models were created using the point clouds. The size of any discrepancy between each model and the corresponding reference tooth were measured, and the distribution of these values was analyzed by an inspection software (PowerInspect 2012, Delcamplc., Birmingham, UK). Absolute values of discrepancies were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis test and multiple comparisons (${\alpha}$=.05). RESULTS. The discrepancy between the impressions for the canine, premolar, and molar teeth were $6.3{\mu}m$ (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.4-7.2), $6.4{\mu}m$ (95% CI, 5.3-7.6), and $8.9{\mu}m$ (95% CI, 8.2-9.5), respectively. The discrepancy of the molar tooth impression was significantly higher than that of other tooth types. The largest variation (as mean [SD]) in discrepancies was seen in the premolar tooth impression scans: $26.7{\mu}m$ (95% CI, 19.7-33.8); followed by canine and molar teeth impressions, $16.3{\mu}m$ (95% CI, 15.3- 17.3), and $14.0{\mu}m$ (95% CI, 12.3-15.7), respectively. CONCLUSION. The repeatability of the digitizing abutment teeth's silicon rubber impressions by using a white light scanner was improved compared to that with a laser scanner, showing only a low mean discrepancy between $6.3{\mu}m$ and $8.9{\mu}m$, which was in an clinically acceptable range. Premolar impression with a long and narrow shape showed a significantly larger discrepancy than canine and molar impressions. Further work is needed to increase the digitizing performance of the white light scanner for deep and slender impressions.
