PURPOSE. This study evaluated the depth of cure of resin composite cured by light through a translucent fiber post. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The opaque plastic tubes in various lengths of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 mm. were filled with resin composite in which two different translucent fiber posts were inserted into the center and photo-polymerized for 40 seconds. The degree of conversion of the cured composite at bottom surface were examined using Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflection spectrometer (FTIR/ATR) at 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mm apart from the post surface. RESULTS. The degree of conversion of the 0.1 mm, 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm apart from the post surface was highest at the 2 mm level and continuously decreased when the distance from the light source was increased and drastically decreased when the depth from the top of the post was greater than 4-6 mm. For each level, the highest degree of conversion was at 0.1 mm from the post surface and decreased continuously when the distance apart from the post surface was increased. CONCLUSION. The quantity of light transmission depends on the type of post and the light transmission capability of the post, especially after 4-6 mm depth and the area further apart from the post surface, are insufficient for clinical light activation of resin composite.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to observe the reaction kinetics and the degree of polymerization of composite resins when cured by different light sources and to evaluate the effectiveness of the blue Light Emitting Diode Light Curing Units (LED LCUs) compared with conventional halogen LCUs. Materials and Methods: First, thermal analysis was performed by a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The LED LCU (Elipar Freelight, $320{\;}mW/\textrm{cm}^2$) and the conventional halogen LCU (XL3000, $400{\;}mV/\textrm{cm}^2$) were used in this study for curing three composite resins (SureFil, Z-250 and AEliteFLO). Second. the degree of conversion was obtained in the composite resins cured according to the above curing mode with a FTIR. Third, the measurements of depth of cure were carried out in accordance with ISO 4049 standards. Statistical analysis was performed by two-way ANOVA test at 95% levels of confidence and Duncan's procedure for multiple comparisons. Results: The heat of cure was not statistically different among the LCUs (p > 0.05). The composites cured by the LED (Exp) LCUs were statistically more slowly polymerized than by the halogen LCU and the LED (Std) LCU (p < 0.05). The composite resin groups cured by the LED (Exp) LCUs had significantly greater degree of conversion value than by the halogen LCU and the LED (Std) LCU (p =0.0002). The composite resin groups cured by the LED (Std) LCUs showed significantly greater depth of cure value than by the halogen LCU and the LED (Exp) LCU (p < 0.05).

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influences of incorporation of zirconium-silicate on diametral tensile strength, shear bond strength to the enamel, and depth of cure of 7 experimental composites. One group contained no filler(group 1 or control group), and the other 6 composites contain 75% filler in which zirconium-silicate(Zr-Si) were 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10% with reduced contents of silica filler, respectively. Both of fillers were treated with 1% silane (${\gamma}$-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxy silane). Light curable monomers were prepared by mixing Bis-GMA and TEGDMA with 3:1 ratio and adding camphoroquinone(CQ) 0.6% with tertiary amine 0.3%. Diametral tensile strengths of specimens with $3mm{\times}6mm$ were measured with Instron (No.4467, USA) with 1mm/min crosshead speed. Shear bond strengths of composites which bonded to bovine enamel etched with 37% phosphoric acid were measured at Instron Testing Machine with as same speed as in diametral tensile strengths. Depth of cure were measured by a method that composite was filled in cylinder mold, illuminated at one side. and uncured composite was removed with acetone, and the residual thickness of composite was measured. Following results were obtained ; 1. Composites containing 0%, 2%, or 4% zirconium-silicate filler(group 2, 3 and 4) showed the statistically higher diametral tensile strength than the others. (p<0.05) 2. Increase of zirconium-silicate filler contents reduced the diametral tensile strength of experimental composites. ($r^2$=0.8721, p=0.0002) 3. Increase of zirconium-silicate filler contents did not affect the shear bond strength of experimental composites. ($r^2$=0.2815, p=0.4067) 4. Increase of zirconium-silicate filler contents reduced significantly the depth of cure of experimental composites. ($r^2$=0.9700, p<0.0001) These results mean that the mechanical properties of composites could not be improved by incorporation of small amount of zirconium-silicate filler. Also, the increased contents of zirconium-silicates fillers was found to reduce the diametral tensile strength and depth of cure.

본 연구는 코어용 이중 중합 레진의 중합도에 미치는 두께의 영향과 빛이 감소된 깊은 와동에서 자가 중합에 의한 영향을 조사하고자 하였다. Luxacore Dual과 Luxacore Self (DMG Inc, Hamburg, Germany) 두 종류의 코어용 레진 수복재를 지름 10 mm, 두께가 2, 4, 6, 8 mm 의 Teflon mold에 주입하고 자가중합 시키거나 혹은 $500 mW/cm^2$의 광도로 제조자의 지시에 따라 중합 후 $37^{\circ}C$ 증류수에 24시간동안 저장하였다. 각 시편의 윗면과 아랫면에서 Knoop's hardness를 측정하였다. 결과는 ANOVA로 통계 분석 하였고 Tukey's test로 사후 검정하였다. Luxacore Self와 Luxacore Dual을 자가중합 시킨 군의 중합도는 두께에 따른 영향을 받지 않았다. Luxacore dual을 광중합한 경우 중합은 2 mm, 4 mm와 6 (적층충전) mm군에서는 밑면의 효과적인 중합이 일어났으나 8 (적층충전) mm군, 6, 8 (단일충전) mm군은 밑면에서 불완전한 중합을 보였다 (p < 0.05). 따라서 이 실험 결과에 의하면 4 mm를 초과하는 경우 단일충전보다 적층충전이 더 좋은 것으로 나타났다.

복합 레진은 소아치과 영역에서 대중적으로 사용되는 재료가 되었다. 하지만 복합 레진은 중합 수축을 최소화하기 위하여 적층 충전을 해야 하기 때문에 긴 시술 시간이 필요하다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위하여 임상가들은 bulk-filling 재료에 관심을 돌리기 시작하였고, 최근 bulk-base 복합 레진이 새로 출시되었다. 본 연구는 bulk-base 복합 레진의 깊이별 미세경도 측정값을 비교, 평가하였다. 실험군으로 1종의 저점도 bulk-base 복합 레진과 1종의 고점도 bulk-base 복합 레진을 사용하였고 대조군으로 1종의 전통적 복합 레진을 사용하였다. 각 깊이별 재료들의 미세경도에 대한 결과로 대조군의 경우는 중합 깊이가 깊어질수록 미세경도의 유의한 차이를 보였다(p < 0.05). 이에 반해 실험군 인 HFB는 0 mm와 4 mm에서, 그리고 MFB는 0 mm와 2 mm, 0 mm와 3 mm에서 각각 유의한 차이를 보였으나 높이에 따른 유의한 감소 경향을 보이지는 않았다. 각각의 깊이에서 시편들의 미세경도를 비교하였을 때 표면과 2 mm에서는 대조군이 실험군보다 큰 미세경도를 보였다(p < 0.05). 3 mm에서는 저점도 실험군이 대조군보다 미세경도가 크게 나왔으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 아니었다. 하지만 4 mm에서는 모든 실험군이 대조군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 큰 미세경도 값을 보였다(p < 0.05). 이번 실험을 통하여 bulk-base 복합 레진이 4 mm에서 기존의 복합 레진보다 더 높은 미세경도를 보였고 표면과 2 mm에서는 더 낮은 미세경도를 보이는 것을 관찰하였다. 그러므로 bulk-base 레진의 기계적 성질의 향상을 통해 표면의 낮은 미세경도 특성이 극복된다면 소아 환자의 수복 치료 시 적용이 고려되어 질 만 할 것이다.

To overcome problems of conventional glass ionomers, resin components have been added to glass ionomers. On a continuum between glass ionomers and composites are a variety of blends, employing different proportions of acid-base and free radical reactions to bring about cure. Popular groups defined between the ends are resin-modified glass-ionomers(RMGIs), polyacid-modified composite resins(Compomers) and ionomer modified resins. These groups show different clinical properties, and in selecting these materials for a restoration, one should sufficiently understand these different setting properties. In this study, some difference in the setting characteristics of different groups of hybrid ionomers were examined. Two RMGIs (Fuji2 LC,GC / Vitremer, 3M), three Compomers (Dyract AP, Dentsply / F2000, 3M / Elan, Kerr) were involved in this study. The identification of the setting characteristics of different groups was achieved by a two-stage study. First, thermal analysis was performed by a differential scanning calorimeter, and then the hardness of each group at different depth and time were measured by a micro-hardness tester. Thermal analysis was performed to identify the inorganic filler content and to record the heat change during setting process. The setting process was progressed for each material by chemical set mode and light-cured mode. In the hardness test, samples of materials were prepared with a 6mm-diameter metal ring, and the hardness was measured at the top, and 1mm, 2.5mm, 4mm below at just after a 40 second-cure, and after 10 minutes, 24 hours, and 7 days. Statistical analysis was performed by Mann-Whitney rank sum test to assess significant differences between set modes and types of materials, and by ANOVA and T-test to evaluate the statistical meanings of data at different times and depths of each materials. Followings are findings and conclusions derived from this study. Thermal analysis; 1. Compomers show no evidence of chemical setting while RMGIs exhibit heat output during the process of chemical setting. 2. Heat of cure of RMGIs exceed Compomers. 3. The net heat output of RMGIs through light-cured mode is higher than through chemically set mode. Hardness test; 1. Initial hardness of RMGIs immediately after light cure is relatively low, but the hardness increases as time goes by. On the contrary, Comomers do not show evident increase of the hardness following time. 2. Compomers show a marked decrease of setting degree as the depth of the material increases. In RMGIs, the setting degree at different depths does not significantly differ.

Although the net-shape molding of composites is generally recommended, molded composites frequently required cutting or grinding due to the dimensional inaccuracy for precision machine elements. During the composite machining operations such as cutting and grinding, the temperature at the grinding area may increase beyond the allowed limit due to the low thermal conductivity of composites, which might degrade the matrix of composite. Therefore, in this work, the temperature at the grinding point during surface grinding of carbon fiber epoxy composite was measured. The grinding temperature and surface roughness were also measured to investigate the surface grinding characteristics of the composited. The experiments were performed both under dry and wet grinding conditions with respect to cutting speed, feed speed, depth of cut and stacking angle. From the experimental investigation, the optimal conditions for the composite plain grinding were suggested.
