The purpose of this study was to investigate whether fluoride-releasing pit and fissure sealant was more effective in preventing caries than conventional non-fluoride-releasing sealant. Specimens 8mm in diameter were made from sound bovine enamel. Fluoride-releasing pit and fissure sealant(Helioseal F, Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) and non-fluoride-releasing sealant(Helioseal, Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) were applied to the specimens and artificial caries was induced. Microhardness and the depth of the carious lesion was measured. The following results were obtained: 1. In group 2, sealed with fluoride-releasing sealant, there was a 58.4% decrease in microhardness. This was significantly less than the 84.4% decrease observed in group 1, sealed with non-fluoride-releasing sealant(p<0.01). 2. The average depth of the artificial carious lesion in group 2 was $30.1{\pm}9.8{\mu}m$. In group 1, sealed with non-fluoride-releasing sealant, the lesion was significantly deeper with an average depth of $58.5{\pm}4.9{\mu}m$(p<0.01). 3. Fluoride-releasing pit and fissure sealant was more anticariogenic compared to non-fluoride-releasing sealant.

The purpose of this study was to examine an effect of fluoride recharging on fluoride release and surface change of fluoride-releasing restorative materials. Six commercially available fluoride releasing restorative materials (Fuji II LC Improved: FL, Compoglass F: CF, Dyract AP: DA, F2000: FT, Gradia Direct: GD, and Tetric Ceram: TC) were selected as experimental materials. Disk specimens were fabricated with split teflon mold to the final dimensions of 15 mm in diameter and 1 mm in thickness. Ten samples of each material were fabricated and stored in deionized water at $37^{\circ}C{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 3 months. Before fluoride recharging, all specimens were polished sequentially from #800 to #2000 emery papers. Fluoride recharging was done at 5-day interval using 2.0% NaF gel. The release of fluoride into the storage water was monitored using a fluoride ion electrode. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey's multiple range test. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. Fluoride recharge capability were FL > CF > DA and TC group after 12 times exposure to 2.0% NaF gel (P<0.05). 2. All the experimental materials, except for FT group, showed the increase of fluoride release and surface roughness. 3. Fluoride-releasing rates returned to base line within 3 days.

치면열구 전색재가 교합면 열구우식의 억제에 예방효과를 보임은 이미 잘 알려져 있다. 최근에 들어서는 치면열구 전색재가 불소를 유리하도록 성분적인 첨가를 하려는 시도가 있었고, 여러 제품이 현재 이러한 특징을 가지고 시판되고 있다. 그러나, 불소를 유리하는 장점은 가졌으나, 물성의 저하가 초래되지는 않았을지 에 대한 의문을 가질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 일반 레진계 전색재, 불소유리 전색재, GI계 전색재 등 4종의 치면열구 전색재의 유지력을 전단결합강도를 측정으로 비교 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 레진계 전색재인 Helioseal과 Teethmate-A가 불소유리 레진계 전색재인 Teethmate-F에 비해 전단결합강도가 약간 크게 나타나기는 하였으나, 유의한 차는 없었다(p>0.05). 2. GI계 전색재인 Fuji III의 전단결합강도는 레진계 전색재에 비해 상당히 낮았다(p<0.05). 3. 위 실험결과에서처럼 레진계 전색재에서 우식예방효과를 증대시킬 목적으로 불소를 포함시켰을 때, 전색재의 유지력에 큰 영향을 미치지는 않는 것으로 생각되었다.

Sixty human premolar teeth were used for this in vitro study. After each tooth was sectioned mesiodistally, one half was used for the experimental group and the other half for the control. Three groups were made for each fluoride applying method and twenthy teeth were assigned to each group. Ten teeth were used for evaluating total fluoride amount and the other ten were used for firmly-bound fluoride. Fluorshield was used for fluoride-releasing sealant and 1.23% APF, 0.05% NaF were used for topical application fluorides. Each tooth was cleaned with a tooth brush using nonfluoride containing pumice before the experiment. In the sealant group, fluoroshield was applied to the enamel surface without etching procedure and stored in $37^{\circ}C$ saline for 30 days. After 30 days, sealant was removed with explorer without scratching the enamel surface and washed with distilled water and dried. In the APF group, each tooth was immersed in 1.23% APF for 30 min then washed and dried in the same manner. In the NaF group, each tooth was immersed in 0.05% NaF for 24 hours then washed and dried as described above. After each fluoride regimen was applied, ten teeth were randomly selected from each group and immersed in 1M KOH solution for 24 hours to remove loosely-bound fluoride possibly deposited by the three different fluorides applied. In each group, total fluoride amount deposited and the amount of enamel removed by acid biopsy were calculated. After loosely-bound fluoride was removed, firmly-bound fluoride deposited and the amount of enamel removed by acid biopsy were also calculated. Total fluoride amount deposition was significantly increased in the APF and NaF groups, but not in the sealant group. Amount of enamel removed by acid-biopsy was also significantly diminished in the APF and NaF groups, but not in the sealant groups. After loosely-bound fluoride was removed from each groups, no statistical difference was found in the amount of firmly-bound fluoride in any groups. Also no effect of firmly-bound fluoride on enamel dissolution was shown in any groups after loosely-bound fluoride was removed from each group. In conclusion, topical application method of APF or NaF is more effective than fluoride-releasing sealant application to make $CaF_2$ coating on enamel surface and $CaF_2$ coating is the main source for anticariogenic effect of fluoride. However, longterm anticariogenic effect of fluoride-releasing sealant should be further evaluated.

This study aimed to compare the fluoride-releasing ability and degree of microbial attachment of a newly developed glass-hybrid restorative material (GH) with those of a high-viscosity glass ionomer (HvGIC), resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI), and composite resin (CR). In addition, the correlation between fluoride-releasing ability and microbial attachment between materials was evaluated. Specimens were prepared in a disc shape and divided into 4 groups according to the materials (GH, HvGIC, RMGI, and CR). The fluoride release experiments were performed in each group (n = 15). The amount of fluoride released was measured on days 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, and 42 after storage. For the microbial attachment experiment, 12 specimens were produced per group using Mutans Streptococci (S.mutans ), a cariogenic microorganism. S. mutans was cultured on the specimens for 24 hours, and the number of bacteria was measured. GH had the highest cumulative fluoride release and showed a significant difference when compared with RMGI (p = 0.001) and CR (p < 0.0001). Microbial attachment was the lowest in GH; however, no significant difference was observed between the materials (p = 0.169). There was no significant correlation between fluoride release from materials and microbial attachment (p > 0.05). From this perspective, remineralization of low-mineralized areas could be expected due to the high fluoride release of GH, and the effect of delaying the progression of dental caries could be predicted from the low cariogenic microbial attachment. Therefore, GH might be a useful restorative material for treating immature permanent teeth with hypomineralized enamel. However, further studies are needed about the degree of remineralization of hypomineralized areas after restoration and the capacity to recharge fluoride.

For the purpose of investigating the continuous fluoride releasing from acrylic resin using removable appliances by incorporating fluoride into polymethylmethacrylate during the construction of the appliances, two kinds of fluoride were blended with acrylic powder and devided into five groups as follows. Group 1 : no fluoride (control) Group 2 : NaF 5 wt% Group 3 : NaF 10 wt% Group 4 : $CaF_2$ 5 wt% Group 5 : $CaF_2$ 10 wt% Resin specimens were tested in vitro for fluoride release with fluoride electrode and flexural strength with Instron. The results were as follows ; 1. After 24 hrs, released fluoride concentration(ppm) was the most in group 3($126.5{\pm}14.15$) then, next, group 2($49.5{\pm}4.92$), group 5($2.67{\pm}1.08$), group 4($0.81{\pm}0.30$), group 1($0.03{\pm}0.01$) in order, but after 28 days, group 3($3.37{\pm}0.31$), group 5($1.25{\pm}0.25$), group 4($0.74{\pm}0.19$), group 2($0.68{\pm}0.07$), group 1($0.03{\pm}0.01$). 2. Fluoride releasing of NaF groups were faster and more amount than $CaF_2$ groups initially but decreased significantly, later. 3. Flexural strength ($kg/cm^2$) was the biggest in group 1($602.90{\pm}69.32$), and then group 4($568.98{\pm}20.16$), group 5($556.19{\pm}5.26$), group 2($536.12{\pm}30.35$), group 3($508.44{\pm}26.16$) in order, the differences between control group and NaF groups were statistically significant (p<0.05).
