Objectives: This study analyzed the difference in color caused by different thickness in enamel layer of composite resins when applied with single and layering placement technique, and evaluated if the results agreed with the shade guide from the manufacturers to verify reliability of the color matching process of the manufacturers. Materials and Methods: For single composite resin samples, 6 mm diameter and 4 mm thickness cylindrical samples were fabricated using Ceram-X mono (DENTSPLY DeTrey) and CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ values were measured with spectrophotometer. Same process was done for layering composite resin samples, making 3 dentinal shade samples, 4 mm thickness, for each shade using Ceram-X duo (DENTSPLY DeTrey) and enamel shade resins were layered in 2 mm thickness and CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ values were measured. These samples were ground to 0.2 mm thickness each time, and CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ values were measured to 1 mm thickness of enamel shade resin. Results: Color difference (${\Delta}E^*$) between single and layering composite resin was 1.37 minimum and 10.53 maximum when layering thicknesses were between 1 mm and 2 mm and 6 out of 10 same shade groups suggested by manufacturer showed remarkable color difference at any thickness (${\Delta}E^*$ > 3.3). Conclusion: When using Ceram-X mono and duo for composite resin restoration, following the manufacturer's instructions for choosing the shade is not appropriate, and more accurate information for Ceram-X duo is needed on the variation and expression of the shades depending on the thickness of the enamel.

이 실험의 목적은 동일한 깊이의 상아질에서 제 6세대의 self-etching system을 사용하여 C-factor가 상아질과 복합레진 사이의 미세인장결합강도에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이다. 건전한 대구치 80개를 선정하여 와동의 바닥면적은 각각 $16mm^2$로 동일하게 하고 깊이를 조절하여 C-factor가 각각 0.25, 2, 3, 4인 4개의 군으로 나누었다. 각 군별로 총 20개의 치아를 할당하였으며 접착제와 복합레진의 조합에 따라 다시 4개의 소군에 치아 5개씩을 배정하였다 상아질 접착제는 AQ Bond Plus 또는 Xeno III를 사용하였고, 복합레진은 fantasists 또는 Ceram-X mono를 사용하였다. 제조사의 지시대로 상아질 접착제를 도포한 후 60초간 광중합하였다. 24시간 동안증류수에 보관후 단면적이 $1.0{\times}1.0mm^2$인 복합레진-상아질 beam을 형성하여 1mm/min의 속도로 미세 인장결합강도를 측정하였다. One-way ANOVA와 Tukey test, 그리고 Pearson correlation test로 통계 처리하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. XenoIII와 Ceram-X mono군에서는 C-factor가 증가할수록 미세 인장결합강도가 유의하게 감소했으나 (p<0.05), 나머지 재료군에서 C-factor군간에 미세 인장결합강도의 유의한 차이가 없었다. 2. C-factor 3군에서는 Ad Bond Plus와 Fantasista군이 Xeno III와 Ceram-X mono군에 비해 높은 결합력을 보였으나 (p<0.05), C-factor 0.25군, 2군, 4군에서 4가지 접착제와 수복 레진의 조합 간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 3. Fantasista군에서 C-factor와 미세 인장결합강도 사이에 일정한 상관관계를 발견할 수 없었고, Ceram-X mono군에서 C-factor가 증가할수록 미세 인장결합강도가 감소하는 경향을 보였다 (p<0.05). 이번 연구의 결과로 상아질의 깊이가 동일하고 6세대의 self-etching system을 사용하여 복합레진을 충전하는 경우 와동의 C-factor가 수복물의 미세 인장결합강도에 크게 영향을 미치지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구의 목적은 복합레진의 slumping resistance를 측정할 수 있는 방법을 개발하고, 그 유용성을 평가하기 위해 rheometer를 이용해 측정된 복합레진의 여러 유변학적 성질과 slumping resistance의 상호 관련성을 밝히고자 하였다. 상용되는 hybrid composites (Z100, Z250, DenFil, Tetric Ceram, ClearFil)와 nanofil composite (Z350)를 2 mm 두께의 디스크 모양의 시편으로 만들었다. 사각형의 단면을 가진 알루미늄 형판으로 레진 디스크를 눌러 표준화된 자국을 남겼다. 이것을 즉시 광중합하거나 (no-slump) $25^{\circ}C$ 에서 3 분간 방치한 후에 광중합 하였다 (slumped). 횐 경석고로 광중합된 레진을 복제한 후 laser 3-D profilometer 로 표면의 단면 영상을 얻었다. Slumping 전 후 홈의 깊이의 비를 구해 slumping resistance index (SRI)라 정의하였다. 각 복합레진의 중합 전 전단 점탄성을 측정하기 위해 회전형 rheometer를 이용하여 동적회전전단실험과 squeeze test를 시행하였다. 더불어 flow test를 시행하였다. 동적회전 전단실험 및 압착실험의 결과와 SRI의 상호관련성을 조사하기 위해 상관분석을 하였다. 여섯 가지의 재료의 SRI 값에는 차이가 있었다 (Z100 < DenFil < Z250 < ClearFil < Tetric Ceram < Z350). SRI는 전단점성 (손실)계수 G"와 가장 큰 양의 상관관계를 보였으며 Tan ${\delta}$는 SRI와 상관관계가 없었다. SRI는 수직 가압에 대한 저항 보다 전단흐름에 대한 저항과 관련성이 높았다. 본 연구에서 도입된 imprint method와 SRI는 복합레진이 slumping 되는 경향을 정량화하였으며 복합레진 조작성의 평가방법으로 사용할 수 있었다.

Simulation of naturally appearing enamel in fixed prosthodontics could be achieved with all ceramics. The purpose of this study was to investigate the stain resistance of 4 different all ceramics materials (In-ceram, IPS Empress, Celay, Vintage). Forty specimens were prepared using manifacture's instruction and the samples were divided into two groups. The specimens for one group were glazing and those for other group were ground to remove the glazing layer. All specimens were immersed in methylene-blue for 24hours. The color values for each specimen was measured with colorimeter (Mode Tc-6Fx, Tokyo Denshoku Co.) prior to and after immersion in methylene-blue. The following conclusions were drawn from this study. 1 The stain resistance of glazing ceramics was higher than that of unglazing ceramics. 2. The changes of ${\Delta}E^*$\;and\;L^*$ values were revealed in Vintage and unglazing Celay. 3. The changes of $a^*$ values were revealed in unglazing vintage, Celay, In-ceram. 4. The changes of $b^*$ value were revealed in Vintage, IPS Empress and unglazing Celay.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the translucency of shaded zirconia allceramic systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Translucency of 3 different zirconia all-ceramic systems colored by different techniques was compared with a lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (IPS e.max Press). Square-shaped specimens with 0.5 mm thickness were fabricated from In-Ceram YZ, ICE Zirkon and Katana systems in A1, A2 and A3.5 shades according to Vitapan Classical shade tab (n=11). Specimens were then veneered and glazed with corresponding veneer ceramic recommended by each zirconia system manufacturer and the total thickness was set to 1.5 mm. Translucency measurements were performed with VITA Easyshade Compact spectrophotometer after each stage and translucency parameter was calculated. Data were statistically analyzed with repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey multiple comparison test. RESULTS. The control group was significantly more translucent than the zirconia systems (P<.05). ICE Zirkon cores showed the least translucency; neither In-Ceram YZ nor Katana systems were superior to each other in terms of translucency. Translucency of all specimens was decreased after veneering, and the translucency rankings were changed. CONCLUSION. Coloring technique did not have a significant effect on translucency of zirconia cores. Although zirconia systems were less translucent than lithium disilicate glass ceramic, they had partial translucency and there were translucency differences among the zirconia systems. Chroma affected the translucency of precolored zirconia cores.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare color parameters of different fabrication method of Lava ceram powder, Lava DVS blocks, IPS e.max ceram and IPS e.max zirpress. Methods: The three available shades(A1, A2, A3.5) of Lava & Kavo zirconia blocks were examined. For each of three colors, three different thickness were tested, 5 times of measurement frequency. The measurements were made using a spectrophotometer equipped with an integrating sphere using the CIE $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$ colorimetric system. Results: Lava build-up group and Lava DVS group showed clinically perceived color difference, on the other hand IPS e.max build-up group and IPS e.max zirpress group did not show clinically perceived color difference to shade allowed on core. When the thickness of porcelain veneer increased from Lava and IPS e.max groups, color differences(${\Delta}E$) were decreased. Conclusion: All-ceramic system has color characteristics that clinicians have to consider when selecting materials. Also, manufacturers of different porcelain systems must make every effort to achieve color reproducibility.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM. Recently Yttrium-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) has been introduced due to superior flexural strength and fracture toughness compared to other dental ceramic systems. Although zirconia has outstanding mechanical properties, the phenomenon of decrease in the life-time of zirconia resulted from degradation in flexural strength after low temperature aging has been reported. PURPOSE. The objective of this study was to investigate degradation of flexural strength of Y-TZP ceramics after various low temperature aging treatments and to evaluate the phase stability and micro-structural change after aging by using X-ray diffraction analysis and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). MATERIAL AND METHODS. Y-TZP blocks of Vita In-Ceram YZ (Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad $S\ddot{a}ckingen$, Germany) were prepared in 40 mm (length) $\times$ 4 mm (width) $\times$ 3 mm (height) samples. Specimens were artificially aged in distilled water by heat-treatment at a temperature of 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, and $225^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours, in order to induce the phase transformation at the surface. To measure the mechanical property, the specimens were subjected to a four-point bending test using a universal testing machine (Instron model 3365; Instron, Canton, Mass, USA). In addition, X-ray diffraction analysis (DMAX 2500; Rigaku, Tokyo, Japan) and SEM (Hitachi s4700; Jeol Ltd, Tokyo, Japan) were performed to estimate the phase transformation. The statistical analysis was done using SAS 9.1.3 (SAS institute, USA). The flexural strength data of the experimental groups were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance and to detect statistically significant differences ($\alpha$= .05). RESULTS. The mean flexural strength of sintered Vita In-Ceram YZ without autoclaving was 798 MPa. When applied aging temperature at below $125^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours, the flexural strength of Vita In-Ceram YZ increased up to 1,161 MPa. However, at above $150^{\circ}C$, the flexural strength started to decrease. Although low temperature aging caused the tetragonal-to-monoclinic phase transformation related to temperature, the minimum flexural strength was above 700 MPa. CONCLUSION. The monoclinic phase started to appear after aging treatment above $100^{\circ}C$. With the higher aging temperature, the fraction of monoclinic phase increased. The ratio of monoclinic/tetragonal + monoclinic phase reached a plateau value, circa 75% above $175^{\circ}C$. The point of monoclinic concentration at which the flexural strength begins to decrease was between 12% and 54%.

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the shade changes(${\Delta}E^*$) about $In-Ceram^{(R)}$, $IPS-Empress^{(R)}$, $OPC^{(R)}$ by using of the spectrophotometer arising from inital status and before and after cementation of the resin cement mounted on the metal core. We used a couple of statistics such as 'One- Way ANOVA' and 'Multiple Range Test.' We could be able to verify significantly what is being discussed here up to 95%. The results drawn from our research are as follows : 1. At the time of our experiments regarding the initial shapes of all-ceramic and mounting status of all-ceramic on the metal crown(${\Delta}E^*1$), and a comparison of mounting of all ceramic on the metal crown with all-ceramic cemented on the metal core(${\Delta}E^*2$), at the time of shade change of initial shapes and after we cemented on the metal core. (1) no significant difference among all-ceramics was found. (2) no particular difference was found regarding the $In-Ceram^{(R)}$. (3) a significant difference between the ${\Delta}E^*1$ and ${\Delta}E^*2$ regarding the $IPS-Empress^{(R)}$ was found(P<0.05). (4) a significant difference between the ${\Delta}E^*1$ and ${\Delta}E^*2$ regarding the $OPC^{(R)}$ was found(P<0.05). 2. When we compared the shade changes(${\Delta}E^*$) resulted from before and after the cementation on each of the parts involved of some all-ceramic, we could be able to find shade change increase form incisal third, middle third. and cervical third in that order in $In-Ceram^{(R)}$(spinell), IPS $Empress^{(R)}$, and $OPC^{(R)}$ all. In addition. we could be able to find a significant difference between cervical third and incisal third, middle third. (P<0.05) From what we have just seen, we might conclude that there is a significant shade change difference before and after the cementation with respect to $IPS-Empress^{(R)}$ and $OPC^{(R)}$. In addition, we could also be able to find more shade change difference at the cervical third rather than incisal third and middle third depending on the parts involved.

The purpose of this study were to investigate the chemical composition, mean particle size, linear thermal expansion coefficient and metal-bonding strength of the regular opaque powder and core powder. In this study, 4 types of ceramic powders, namely Duceram Jacket Opaque powder, Duceram Opaque powder, Vita Hi-Ceram powder, Vita VMK Paint On-88 powder were used. Chemical composition was evaluated by EDS(Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrophotometer, Oxford QX-2000, England), particle size was measured by MALVERN Instruments(MALVERN Instruments SB. OC., U.S.A.. ad linear thermal expansion coefficient was measured by dilatometer(Motoyama, Japan). Bond strength was measured by the Universal tsting machine(Istron Co., Ltd., U.S.A.). The Results were as follows : 1. Through recognition of the relative difference in chemical composition between the core powder and the regular opaque powder, the difference in the proportion of $Al_2O_3$ in each type of material is demonstrated ; Duceram Jaket Opaque powder : 30.16%, Duceram Opaque powder : 16.60%, Vita Hi-Ceram : 63.64%, Vita VMK Paint-On 88 : 16.16%. 2. There was no significant difference in the proportion of metal-bonding materials between the core powder and the regular opaque powder. 3. In the regular opaque powder, alkaline materials were incoporated in order to increase the coefficient of thermal expansion. 4. In the particle size analysis, there was no significant difference in mean particle size or in the particle size distribution between the core powder and the regular opaque powder. 5. In the thermal expansion test for temperature range of $25-600^{\circ}C$, the regular opaque powder had higher coefficient of thermal expansion than that of core powder. 6. In the 4 point flexural bending test, there was no statistically significant difference in the mean bond strength between the core powder and the opaque powder among the Duceram products.
