Purpose: This study examines the clinical practice satisfaction and major satisfaction of dental technology students who have experienced clinical practice to identify whether there is an effect on employment intention of satisfaction level as a basis for increasing the employment rate of dental technicians. Methods: A survey was distributed among 150 dental technology students, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and frequency and correlation analyses. Finally, multiple regression analysis was used to verify the research hypotheses. All statistical analyses were carried out using IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 27.0 (IBM). Results: The students exhibited high levels of satisfaction with their clinical practice (4.20) and dental technology major (4.07). Further analysis showed a positive correlation between intention to work in dental laboratories and satisfaction with a dental technology major (practice; r=0.437, p<0.05); clinical practice organization (r=0.682, p<0.05); and satisfaction with the clinical practice institution (r=0.650, p<0.05). Statistically significant positive associations (p<0.05) were also observed between clinical practice form and environment, satisfaction with dental technology major, and school region (i.e., metropolitan area). Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that high levels of satisfaction with clinical practice and dental technology major can contribute to increased employment rates among dental technicians by promoting their intention to work in the related industry.

The 21st centurt, the era of change-space, is requesting us to readjust our education system. In other words, we should renew it by looking back into the past cultivate more advanced ideas. As a matter of fact junior colleges have been considered just as miniture of universities in every way such as curriculum, prossor emploment, school affairs, etc. Therefore we should change our existing education system not to be criticized for the next century. May students are trained for industry as dental technicians in our department of college. We should educate experiment and practice substantially as college professors as well as exert ourselves in developing our abilities to adapt to high diverse industrial technique, putting emphasis on practice more than theory. It is mecessary for us to sufficiently teach the technique to good students and make them display their abilities in order to produce high quality goods. Reinvestment ineducation is a condition precedent. Dental laboratories have just employed the students that graduated from our college. However it's time for a change. They should pay attention to our education and assist us in all respects with the thought of equally educating professional dental technicians together with us. The field practice system is subject to reinforcement so that our students have more opporunities of utilizing the tools and materials for practice. Finally we should not only carry out new reserch more deeply no less than dental technicians who are experienced in business for development of education system but endeavor to meet pratical education by adding what is pratically needed in dental laboratories to the existing education system.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of post-curing equipment and time on the flexural strength of 3D printing resins produced by a liquid crystal display(LCD) printer. The three 3D printing resins(DENTCA Denture Teeth, DT; C&B 5.0 hybrid, CH; C&B Permanent A2, CP) were divided into four groups according to post-curing time(10 min and 30 min) and equipment with or without vacuum treatment. For the three-point flexural strength test and biaxial strength test were prepared by method according to ISO 10477, ISO 6872, respectively. Flexural strength was measured with universal testing machine. Comparison between post-curing time of each post-curing equipment was analyzed by independent sample t-test and Mann-Whitney U test(α=.05), and comparison between groups according to each 3D printing resin was performed by Kruskal-Wallis test and post-hoc by Bonferroni-Dunn test(α=.05). The flexural strength of the resin post-curing under vacuum was higher than that of the resin post-curing in air. In the comparison according to the post-curing time, in the case of the post-curing equipment without vacuum, the 30 minute curing time showed significantly higher flexural strength than the 10 minute curing time, except for the biaxial flexural strength of CH(P<.05). In the post-curing equipment with vacuum, the three-point flexural strength of all 3D printing resins(DT, CH, and CP) showed a higher value at 30 minute curing time than at 10 minute curing time.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different washing solvents and washing methods on the flexural strength of 3D printed temporary resin. A bar(25 × 2 × 2 mm) was produced with a layer thickness of 50 ㎛ using an LCD-type 3D printer and divided into 15 groups(n = 10, each) according to washing solution(IPA; 99% isopropyl alcohol, TPM; 93% Tripropylene glycol monomethylether, ETL; Ethanol, TWC; Twin 3D Cleaner, and DNC; DIO navi Cleaner) and washing method(Dip; Dip washing, Ultra; Ultrasonic washing, and Auto; Automated washing). All groups were washed for 5 minutes, and post-cured for 5 minutes using a UV LED light curing machine. The Flexural strength was measured using a three-point bending test using a universal testing machine. For statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA, Tukey HSD post hoc test, Kruskal-Wallis test and post-hoc by Bonferroni-Dunn test(𝛼=.05) were performed depending on whether the normality test was satisfied. In all washing solvents except TPM and DNC, the Dip group showed the lowest flexural strength values, while the Auto group showed the highest flexural strength values except for DNC. Additionally, the washing solution showed completely different flexural strength values depending on the washing method.

For this study, self curing resin and heat curing resin used for existing usual resin denture base in the denture industry were chosen by manufacturer. Curing tests for 30-minute, I-hour, 2-hour and 3-hour were conducted to know the strength of the resins and conduct analysis to get other necessary information. The results obtained are as follows: 1. Heat curing resins show a little differences among the manufacturers. However 30-minute curing resin shows great difference as shown in the fracture strength test. 2. The effect from the granularity of the resins on the fracture strength was found insignificant which means there is no difference between coherence and strength. 3. To summarize the results from each time level, the longer the time is, the more the minute cracks on the surface, which is the cause of reduced strength. From this test, it was identified that in making the denture base for patients in dental clinics, 30-minute curing is most efficient and effective in reducing discoloration and monomers, although long-time curing has been considered to be the principal.

전문대학의 교육목표는 중견기술인을 교육하고 직업교육을 통하여 현장에 취업케 하는 것인바, 치기공과는 치과보철학의 이론 및 실습을 통하여 치과에서 의뢰한 치과기공물을 제작할 수 있는 치과기공사를 교육하는 학습내용이 요구된다. 임상실습은 3년제 교과과정의 가장 중요한 부분으로 대부분의 전문대학이 임상실습 학점을 강제규정으로 요구하고 있으며 임상실습은 단순한 실기능력 향상 만을 기대하기보다는 실기능력 향상과 이에 따른 실무적응능력과 취업률의 향상, 그리고 치과기공소의 유능한 기공사의 확보에 있어 임상실습의 3년제 교과 과정중 가장 중요한 점으로 인식되고 활용되어야 한다. 그러나 임상실습은 본인과 학교의 노력만으로 되는 것이 아니고 기관의 임상실습의 중요성에 대한 인식과 전폭적인 지원이 요구되어야 하며 임상실습은 취업과 연계되어 치과기공사의 질적인 향상은 궁극적으로는 치과기공소의 경영에 유익을 주는 것이다. 3년제 교과과정의 임상실습을 산학협동체제로 교육함에 있어 졸업 후 취업현장에 바로 투입될 수 있도록 운영되어야 하는데, 임상실습기관에 대한 사전 정보를 수집하고 분석하며 임상실습기관과 유기적인 관계를 맺는 것은 임상실습교육의 효율적인 운영과 실습효과의 제고와 이에 따른 취업율을 향상시킬 수 있는데 도움이 되고자 본 대학의 서울지역 임상실습기관과 협조 의뢰하게 될 27개 치과기공소 대표자를 대상으로 설문조사를 하고 이와 아울러 전국 14개 전문대학 치기공과 교과과정표에 나타난 임상실습교과목을 검토하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 임상실습기관 대표자의 연령은 35-39세가 40.7%로 가장 많았고, 남자가 96.3%로 대부분이며 학력은 전문대 졸업 이상이 97.5%와 경력 10년 이상이 92.6%이며 85.2%가 도재기공물 분야에 주력하고 있었다. 교육을 위한 세미나실이 준비되어 있는 기공소는 29.6%였는데, 건평이 40평 이상인 기공소에서는 11.1%로 가장 높았고, 30-34평과 35-39평이 각각 7.4%였다. 치과기공소의 경영측면에서 치과기공소에 제작하는 기공물의 종류를 보면, 전 분야의 기공물을 제작하는 곳은 29.6%였으며, 교정장치물 또는 토재기공물의 단일 품목만을 전문으로 하는 곳은 각 각 7.4%와 3.7%였다. 거래치과수는 30-39개소가 40.7%가 가장 많았고, 1일 의뢰 건수는 10-19건수가 40.7%가 가장 많았고, 의뢰받은 기공물의 제작기일은 77.8%가 3-4일이었다. 임상실습에 대한 협조 의뢰에 대하여 충분히 고려한 후 수락하겠다가 51.9%, 순서대로 수락하겠다가 36.0%였고 교육가능 인원은 1개 대학 3명까지가 40.7%, 2개 대학 3명까지가 37.0%였다. 기공소 대표자 3년제 교육과정 연장에 따라 졸업생에 대한 견해는 3년제 교육과정 교육연한의 연장으로 인한 3년제 졸업생들의 초임을 포함한 임금에 대한 견해는 지급 수준보다 높아야 한다가 44.4%, 그렇지 않다가 55.5%로 더 높았고, 3년제 졸업생들은 2년제보다 치과기공사로서 직업에 종사하는 비율이 증가할 것이라고 기대하는 사람은 74.1%나 되었고, 교육과정 연장에 따라 이론 및 실기 모두가 향상할 것이라고 기대하는 것은 51.9%, 실기면에서 우세할 것이 29.6%, 이론이 향상할 것이다는 14.8%의 순서로 96.3%가 향상될 것으로 기대하고 있어 긍정적인 견해를 가지고 있었다. 임상실습시 기대는 단지 실습기회만 제공한다가 59.3%였고, 임상실습시 별 문제가 없었다가 33.3%였으나 시간낭비와 번거롭다가 25.9%, 29.0%였으며, 임상실습시 강조점은 투철한 직업관 확립이 44.4%로 가장 높았다. 본 대학 임상실습기관으로 협조 의뢰 할 치과기공소는 임상실습을 위하여 선별된 것으로 비교적 규모면에서 면적이 널고 경영상태가 양호하나, 대부분의 기공소는 경영규모가 영세하고 작업 환경이 열악하므로 실습생을 교육할 수 있는 일정 규모 이상의 임상실습기관을 확보하기가 어렵고, 임상실습기관인 치과기공소는 단지 실습지를 제공하는 공급자의 입장에서 실습지도를 할 인력이나 시간도 제한되어 있다. 따라서 학교 간의 일정한 시간 차를 두어 실습시기를 탄력적으로 운영하며, 치과기공소의 경영유형에 따라 일부 기공물을 제작하지 않는 곳도 있고 또 단일 품목의 전문 치과기공소도 있어서 이들은 상호 연결하여 실습생들이 실습기관을 순환하는 방법을 활용하는 것이 바람직하며 산학협동차원에서 임상실습이 취업이 연계될 수 있도록 인턴사원제로 적극 활용을 유도해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

최근, 치과 산업에서 레이저를 열원으로 합금을 제조하는 선택적 레이저 용융법(Selective laser melting, SLM)이 소개되고 있다. 하지만 SLM으로 제작된 금속-세라믹 수복물에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 SLM 그리고 CAST(casting)에 의해 제조된 Co-Cr 합금의 금속-세라믹(metal-ceramic) 결합 강도(bond strength)를 평가하는 것이다. SLM 그리고 CAST 방법을 사용하여 Co-Cr 시편을 제조하고 세라믹을 소결하여 시료를 제작하였다. 연구의 실험은 표본 준비 및 분석을 통해 2020년 1월부터 6월까지 수행되었다. 금속-세라믹 결합 강도는 만능 시험기에 의해 측정되었다. 부착 세라믹의 면적분(The area fraction of adherence ceramic, AFAC)은 SEM/EDS로 시편의 Si 함량을 측정하였다. 금속-세라믹 결합 강도 및 AFAC 결과는 t-test를 사용하여 분석하였다(α = .05). SLM 그리고 CAST Co-Cr 합금 사이의 결합 강도에 대해서는 유의한 차이가 발견되지 않았다(P>.05). SLM은 CAST 그룹보다 많은 세라믹 부착성(ceramic adherence)을 나타냈다(P<.001). 세라믹과 합금의 결합 강도는 제조 방법엥 영향을 받지 않았다. 그러나 SLM은 더 우수한 세라믹 부착성을 보였다. 이는 향후 임플란트 상부 보철물 제작에도 SLM으로 제작한 합금이 사용 가능한 것을 시사한다. CAST 방식의 단점을 극복하고 시간과 비용을 절약할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Mitis-salivarius sucrose bacitracin(MSB) medium is widely used in the selective isolation of mutans streptococci(MS), a designation for a group of oral cariogenic species. Recently, we have isolated three bacterial strains grown on MSB agar from human dental plaques. The three strains exhibited biochemical characteristics similar to those of the biotype IV of MS, with the exception that they manifested a positive reaction for arginine deaminase. The objective of this study was to identify and characterize these three clinical isolates. The bacteria were identified with biochemical tests as well as by 16S rDNA cloning and sequencing. In order to compare the antibiotics susceptibility of the clinical isolates with that of type strain, the minimum inhibitory concentrations of 9 antibiotics were determined using broth dilution assays. The results identified all of our three clinical isolates as Enterococcus faecalis. All E. faecalis strains were found to be susceptible to penicillin G, amoxicillin, augmentin, and vancomycin, but were resistant to ciprofloxacin, cefuroxim axetil, and clindamycin. Our findings indicate that E. faecalis is capable of growing on MSB agar, and suggest that the MSB medium be improved so that only MS should be recoverable on the medium, as originally devised for their selection.

This study was to evaluate the effect of different rinsing times and methods on the accuracy of temporary prostheses fabricated by 3D printing method. Sixty temporary prostheses were fabricated with LCD types of 3D printer(Halot-Sky, Creality, Shenzhen, China) and divided into six groups (n = 10) based on rinsing times and methods. All specimens were rinsed with 99% isopropanol alcohol for 5 and 10 min using three methods-hand washed, ultrasonic cleaning, and automated washing. All specimens were polymerized for 3 minutes under the same conditions. The marginal and internal gaps of specimens were examined using a replica technique. The light-body silicone thickness was measured at 6 reference points(Absolute marginal discrepancy, Marginal, Chamfer, Axial, Angle, and Occlusal gap). All measurements were performed by a stereomicroscope. Reference point images were taken at 100× magnification and then measured using an image analysis program. Statistical analysis was performed using Two-way ANOVA, One-way ANOVA, and the Kruskal-Wallis test (p = .05). The marginal and internal gaps were statistically different according to the rinsing methods and rinsing times(p < .001). In the rinsing time, the temporary prosthesis rinsed for 5 minutes group showed higher accuracy than 10 minutes group. In the rinsing method, the hand washing group showed higher accuracy than the automated washing group.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture strength and removal torque value (RTV) of a conventional angled abutment and a newly developed angled abutment (Beauty up abutment) with an angulated screw access hole. Each abutment was divided into a control group and an experimental group (n = 20, respectively). To measure the fracture strength, the abutment was connected to the internal hex implant with 30 Ncm torque, and a load was applied at 30 degree angle with cross-head speed of 1 mm/min using a universal testing machine according to the ISO 14801:2016 standard. To measure RTV, each abutment was fastened to the implant with 30 Ncm torque. Retightening was performed after 10 minutes, and initial RTV was measured with a digital torque gauge. After retightening, a load of 250 N was applied to the abutment at a 30 degree angle using a chewing simulator. After a total of 100,000 repeated loads, RTV was measured. Statistical analysis was performed using Wilcoxon signed rank test and Mann-Whitney U test (α = .05). The fracture strength of the experimental group was statistically significantly lower than that of the control group (P = .009). There was no significant difference between initial RTV and post-loading RTV between the experimental group and the control group (P = .753, P = .527, respectively), and cyclic loading did not significantly affect RTV in both groups (P = .078).
