Purpose: This study was conducted to compare the cumulative survival rates (CSRs) and the incidence of postloading complications (PLCs) between a bone-level internal connection system (ICS-BL) and an external connection system (ECS). Methods: The medical records of patients treated with either a ICS-BL or ECS between 2007 and 2010 at Asan Medical Center were reviewed. PLCs were divided into two categories: biological and technical. Biological complications included >4 mm of probing pocket depth, thread exposure in radiographs, and soft tissue complications, whereas technical complications included chipping of the veneering material, fracture of the implant, fracture of the crown, loosening or fracture of the abutment or screw, loss of retention, and loss of access hole filling material. CSRs were determined by a life-table analysis and compared using the log-rank chi-square test. The incidence of PLC was compared with the Pearson chi-squared test. Results: A total of 2,651 implants in 1,074 patients (1,167 ICS-BLs in 551 patients and 1,484 ECSs in 523 patients) were analyzed. The average observation periods were 3.4 years for the ICS-BLs and 3.1 years for the ECSs. The six-year CSR of all implants was 96.1% (94.9% for the ICS-BLs and 97.1% for the ECSs, P=0.619). Soft tissue complications were more frequent with the ECSs (P=0.005) and loosening or fracture of the abutment or screw occurred more frequently with the ICS-BLs (P<0.001). Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, the ICS-BL was more prone to technical complications while the ECS was more vulnerable to biological complications.

구강은 전신건강을 들여다 볼 수 있는 창문이자 많은 유해균이 들어오는 관문이기도 하다. 우리 몸에 있어서 아주 중요한 부분이다. 유전자 검사는 구강 내 세균을 검사하여 빅 데이터 AI 알고리즘 분석을 통해 우리 몸에 발생할 수 있는 전신질환까지 예측하여 예방 관리를 체계적으로 할 수 있다는 가장 큰 장점이 있다. 이에 본 논문은 연구자 가족이 직접 유전자 검사를 수행하여 결과를 도출해 보고자 한다. 본 연구는 2022년 11월 연구자 가족 4명이 서울시에 소재한 예방치과진료실 J치과의원에서 치과의사 1명, 치과위생사 1명에게 사전설명을 듣고 동의서 작성 후 구강검사와 유전자 검사를 수행하였다. 성인은 Dr.^***으로 중·초등학생은 He^***** 제품으로 유전자 검사를 하였다. 현재 우리나라에서 진행하고 있는 유전자 검사는 대상자가 피를 뽑지 않고 비교적 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 장점도 있지만, 시간, 비용 등 한계점도 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 구강 내 미생물을 통해 전신질환을 예측할 수 있다는 점에서는 높이 평가할 부분이라고 생각한다.

Due to the physical-chemical characteristics of some bottom ash (BA), there are technical, economic and environmental limitations to find a destination that will add value to it. In Brazil, this residue is eventually used for filling coal extraction pits or remains in sedimentation ponds, creating a susceptible panorama to environmental issues. The geopolymers binders are one of the alternatives to the proper use high amounts of these materials. In this work, geopolymeric binder pastes were produced with BA mixed to activators with different alkali contents (expressed as %Na₂O), as well as the incorporation of soluble silicates (Ms content). The production of binary geopolymeric pastes based on the use of two industrial wastes: fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) and aluminum anodizing sludge (AAS), was also assessed. The content in mass of BA/FCC and BA/AAS ranged from 100/0, 90/10; 80/20 and 70/30. Systems with soluble silicates as activator in a molar ratio SiO₂/Na₂O of 1.0 (Ms = 1.0) and Na₂O content of 15%, showed the best results of mechanical strength (42 MPa at day 28^th). The improvement is up to 5X when compared to NaOH based systems. For systems with partial replacement of BA of 10% of AAS and 20% of FCC (80/20), the presence of soluble silicates was also effective to increase compressive strength.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of an artificial intelligence (AI) program in identifying dental conditions using panoramic radiographs(PRs), as well as to assess the appropriateness of its treatment recommendations. Materials and Methods: PRs from 100 patients(representing 4497 teeth) with known clinical examination findings were randomly selected from a university database. Three dentomaxillofacial radiologists and the Diagnocat AI software evaluated these PRs. The evaluations were focused on various dental conditions and treatments, including canal filling, caries, cast post and core, dental calculus, fillings, furcation lesions, implants, lack of interproximal tooth contact, open margins, overhangs, periapical lesions, periodontal bone loss, short fillings, voids in root fillings, overfillings, pontics, root fragments, impacted teeth, artificial crowns, missing teeth, and healthy teeth. Results: The AI demonstrated almost perfect agreement (exceeding 0.81) in most of the assessments when compared to the ground truth. The sensitivity was very high (above 0.8) for the evaluation of healthy teeth, artificial crowns, dental calculus, missing teeth, fillings, lack of interproximal contact, periodontal bone loss, and implants. However, the sensitivity was low for the assessment of caries, periapical lesions, pontic voids in the root canal, and overhangs. Conclusion: Despite the limitations of this study, the synthesized data suggest that AI-based decision support systems can serve as a valuable tool in detecting dental conditions, when used with PR for clinical dental applications.

Objectives: This study investigated the nanoleakage of root canal obturations using calcium silicate-based sealer according to different drying methods. Materials and Methods: Fifty-two extracted mandibular premolars with a single root canal and straight root were selected for this study. After canal preparation with a nickel-titanium rotary file system, the specimens were randomly divided into 4 groups according to canal drying methods (1: complete drying, 2: blot drying/distilled water, 3: blot drying/NaOCl, 4: aspiration only). The root canals were obturated using a single-cone filling technique with a calcium silicate-based sealer. Nanoleakage was evaluated using a nanoflow device after 24 hours, 1 week, and 1 month. Data were collected twice per second at the nanoscale and measured in nanoliters per second. Data were statistically analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U-tests (p < 0.05). Results: The mean flow rate measured after 24 hours showed the highest value among the time periods in all groups. However, the difference in the flow rate between 1 week and 1 month was not significant. The mean flow rate of the complete drying group was the highest at all time points. After 1 month, the mean flow rate in the blot drying group and the aspiration group was not significantly different. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, the canal drying method had a significant effect on leakage and sealing ability in root canal obturations using a calcium silicate-based sealer. Thus, a proper drying procedure is critical in endodontic treatment.

In this study, basic research was conducted on manufacturing technology of thick-walled light guide a component that controls the light source of automobile lamps. As a preliminary study for manufacturing the final injection molded parts, a model for analyzing the influence of micro patterns on light guides is presented. The optical characteristics of the light guide were analyzed according to the change of the curvature radius of the micro-optical pattern, and the injection molding characteristics of the light guide according to the change of injection molding conditions were analytically evaluated. It was confirmed that the luminance uniformity improves as the R value decreases for changes in the micro-pattern R value, but it was confirmed that there are technical limitations in actual injection mold core processing and high-replication injection molding. Injection molding analysis showed that cooling channel design is very important compared to general injection molding due to thick-wall characteristics and thickness variation. It was also confirmed that the cooling channel has a great influence on the cycle time and birefringence result due to residual stress. As a result of analyzing the influence of filling time, holding condition, and cooling on shrinkage, it was found that the cooling water temperature has a significant effect on the shrinkage of ultra-fine light guide parts, and the holding condition also has a significant effect.

본 연구는 구강건강상태와 구강건강관리 행태에 따른 삶의 질을 측정하기 위하여 2013년 3월부터 7개월간 일부지역의 치과병 의원에 내원한 환자를 대상으로 구강검사 및 설문조사를 실시하여 최종 384명을 분석하였다. OHIP-14는 일반진료를 받은 환자에서 가장 높았고, 하위영역으로 기능제한 교정치료 8.27점, 신체적 동통 7.24점, 정신적 불편감 7.90점, 신체적 능력저하 7.79점, 정신적 능력저하 8.14점, 사회적 능력저하 8.24점 모두 일반진료에서 높았고, 사회적 불리에서는 교정치료(8.78)점으로 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 성별에서는 모두 남자에서 높았고, 연령에서는 연령이 증가할수록 삶의 질이 나빠졌으며, 직업은 주부에서 대부분 낮게 나타났고, 전신질환이 없는 경우 삶의 질이 높게 유의한 차이를 보였다. 구강건강관리 행태에서는 정기검진을 받지 않고, 통증 시 치과내원이 가능한 경우 삶의 질이 높게 유의한 차이를 보였다. 구강건강상태에서는 실란트 시술을 받은 치아, 충전치료를 받은 치아와 상실치아, 보철치료를 받은 치아, 임플란트 식립 치아가 없는 경우 삶의 질이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 개인의 삶의 질에 영향을 향상시키기 위해서는 개인의 구강건강관리 시스템구축뿐만 아니라 사회적으로도 예방진료와 구강보건교육을 바탕으로 관리시스템을 구축하여 자연치아를 오래 보존 하여야 할 것이다. 또한 이를 기초로 하여 삶의 질을 향상하기 위한 끊임없는 노력과 연구들이 이루어져야 하리라 생각된다.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the problems in exercising buyer's right to claim damages for the breach of contract by the seller in international sales contract and to suggest reasonable counter-measures. The main contents are as follows: First, this author analyzed the principles of the seller's liability for damages in detail and examined the methods for the calculation of damages on the basis of Arts.74~77. As these articles are found to be insufficient in practical application, this author further examined the UNIDROIT Principles(2004) to confirm whether these Principles can fill the gaps of CISG or not, which turned out their gap-filling functions. Second, this author tried to find any expected problems when the buyer resorts to the right to claim damages in case of the seller's breach of contract including the estimation of damages, the burden of proof, causation, the proof of appropriateness for avoidance, the proof of buyer's obligation to mitigate the loss and so on. The reason is that these problems may cause a lot of difficulties in real business. As result, many buyers have given up their reasonable rights to claim damages so far. Finally, from the buyer's perspective, this author would like to suggest a liquidated damage clause(LD Clause) which gives the buyer to received a specified sum in case of seller's non-performance and/or a demand guarantee(or standby L/C) which guarantees buyer to secure unconditional payment independent of the underlying contract. For these purposes, the buyer should try to insert the LD Clause and/or Guarantee Clause in the contract when the buyer and the seller negotiate the sales contract. Also there are a lot of considerations and limitations in using the LD Clause and the Guarantee Clause in their real business, mainly dependent up bargain power between the seller and the buyer, for which this author promise to examine in detail in the future.

교차로에서의 자율주행은 다양한 차량이 혼재하며 주행환경이 복잡한 특성으로 인하여 교통 객체 간의 교통정보 교환을 통한 자율주행 지원이 필요하다. 이와 관련되어 인접한 교차로 간의 교통정보 교환이 요구되고 있으나 국내 표준노드·링크 체계에서 교차로를 나타내는 노드 ID는 일련번호를 포함한 구성 체계를 가지고 있어 교차로의 갱신 및 ID를 통한 교차로의 위치 정보 파악에 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 교차로 ID 내에 위치정보가 포함되도록 교차로의 2차원 좌표를 가공 및 병합하여 생성한 좌표 기반 교차로 ID 구성 체계를 설계하였다. 제시한 교차로 ID의 적용 가능성을 검증하기 위해 국내 교차로를 대상으로 새로운 교차로 ID를 적용하였으며 중복된 값이 없는 것을 확인하였다. 좌표 기반 교차로 ID는 데이터 크기가 기존 노드 ID 대비 60% 줄어들었으며 GIS 툴 없이 인근 교차로 검색 및 Box 형태의 특정 지역 내 교차로 추출과 같은 공간 쿼리가 가능하다. 따라서 좌표 기반 교차로 ID는 기존 노드 ID보다 확장성 및 활용도가 높을 것으로 예상된다.

일반사출성형은 공정 중 보압단계에서 캐비티에 높은 압력이 작용하여 성형품에 큰 잔류응력이 남게 된다. 또한 캐비티 내 위치 별로 압력분포가 달라 균일한 물성의 제품을 얻는데 한계가 있다. 다수 개 빼기 일반사출성형에서는 캐비티간 충전 불균형이 일어나 캐비티간 품질의 편차를 일으킨다. 이와 같은 한계를 극복하기 위해 사출압축성형 공정을 사용하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 다수 개 캐비티를 갖는 금형을 이용하여 일반사출성형과 사출압축성형을 비교 분석하였다. 실험과 해석을 통하여 연구를 수행하였으며 투명한 수지인 PC와 PS를 이용하여 시편에 나타나는 복굴절을 관찰하여 일반사출성형과 사출압축성형에서 나타나는 성형특성을 비교하였다. 연구결과, 사출 압축성형으로 제작된 시편에서 캐비티 내의 압력이 균일하여 복굴절과 성형수축률이 낮고 균일하게 나타났다. 그리고 일반사출성형에서 나타나는 캐비티간 충전 불균형에 의한 캐비티간 물성의 편차가 사출압축성형에서는 크게 줄어들었다. 본 연구를 통하여 사출압축성형은 다수 개 빼기 사출성형에서 캐비티 내 균일한 물성확보뿐만 아니라 캐비티간 품질 불균형을 해소하는데 유용함을 확인할 수 있었다.
