본 연구의 목적은 아말감과 복합레진의 수복 과정과 수복 후 상아세관액의 흐름(dentinal fluid flow, DFF)을 측정하기 위함이다. 치근을 절제한 제 3 대구치를 자체 제작한 미세 유체 흐름 측정장치에 연결한 후 1급 와동을 형성하여 아말감과 복합레진 수복을 시행하였다. DFF의 측정은 와동 형성부터 수복 후 30분까지 연속적으로 이루어졌고, 수복 후 3, 7일에 재 측정하였다. 주수 하에 와동 형성 시 DFF는 inward로, 끝난 후에는 outward로 바뀌었다. 아말감 충전 시 DFF는 inward로 바뀌었고 충전 완료 후 미약한 outward DFF를 보였다. 복합레진 수복의 경우, 산 처리 후 수세와 건조 시 각각 inward와 outward DFF를 보였고 primer도포 후 공기 분사는 급격한 outward, 소수성 본딩제를 적용하는 단계에서는 outward 였던 DFF가 감소하여 0에 가까워지거나 약간 inward 흐름을 보였다. 접착제와 복합레진의 광중합은 급격한 inward의 DFF를 일으켰다. 수복 후 30분, 3일, 7일째 수복 재료에 따른 DFF의 감소에 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다 (p>0.05).

The hydrodynamic theory of dentin sensitivity states that movement of tubular contents or tubular fluid, in either direction of dentinal tubule, causes dentin sensitivity. A corollary of that theory is that anything that can decrease dentinal fluid movement or dentin permeability should decrease dentin sensitivity. A wide variety of physicochemical methods have been used to reduce the permeability and sensitivity of exposed dentin. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of 4 kinds of clinical desensitizing agents(2% NaF, 30% Potassium oxalate, MS Coat$^{(R)}$, Tubulitec system$^{(R)}$) to reduce the rate of fluid flow through dentin in vitro. Sixty coronal dentin discs, 1mm in thickness, were prepared from extracted third molars, free from decay and wear. Dentin discs were treated with 3% EDTA(Tubulicid Plus$^{(R)}$(Dental Therapeutics AB, Sweden)) to remove the smear layer and debris occluding the tubular orifices. After placing the discs in a split chamber device, the rate at which physiologic saline solution could filter across dentin under 150cm $H_2O$ hydrostatic pressure was measured. The occlusal side of the discs were then treated with MS Coat$^{(R)}$, 2% NaF, Tubulitec system$^{(R)}$, and 30% Potassium oxalate, and the filter ratio of the saline solution was measured again. The following conclusions were drawn : 1. Hydraulic conductance which was measured after the application of desensitizing agents was decreased in all the groups(p<0.05). 2. % change of hydraulic conductance was compared but no significant difference was found among the four desensitizing agents(p>0.05). 2% NaF, 30% Potassium oxalate, MS Coat$^{(R)}$ and Tubulitec system$^{(R)}$ decreased the permeability of dentin. It is considered that above four agents can be used in treating the hypersensitive teeth.
