Carried out an experiment for quantitative evaluation about intraoral sensor among oral dental imaging equipments in PACS environment. For evaluation, testing environment & evaluation criteria are established that refer to the 'IEC 62220-1-2' and experimented with set up the standard radiation penetration that correspond with RQA-3(IEC 61267). Results of experiments using the image J, derived the ESF(edge spread function), LSF (line spread function) and calculated the MTF(modulation transfer function) finally. As a result, the MTF that 0.1, 0.2sec are 10% about 10 lp/mm and 0.32 sec is the 10% about 9 lp/mm in level represents the value of the MTF. Change of scan condition in dental environmental, according to the MTF value taken note that no changes can be seen enough. However, the dimensions of each other size $1(1200{\times}1600)$, size $2(1440{\times}1920)$ intraoral sensors for 3 lp/mm, respectively 40%, 90% of the note might have been the difference between the value of MTF, in accordance with standard sensors might note differences could be observed.

Acoustic analysis study was performed on 20 normal subjects by speaking nonsense syllables composed of Korean bilabial stops$(/P, P^{\star}, P^{h}/)$ and their preceding and/or following vowel /a/ (that is, $[pa, p^{\star}a, p^{h}a, apa, ap^{\star}a, ap^{h}a]$) with an ultraminiature pressure, sensor. in their mouths. Speech materials were phonated twice, once with a moderate voice, another time with a loud voice. The acoustic signal and intraoral pressure were recorded simultaneously on computer. By these procedures, we were to measure the intraoral pressure, closure duration and VOT of Korean bilabial stops, and to compare the values one another according to the intensity of phonation and the position of the target consonants. Intraoral pressure was measured by the peak intraoral pressure value of Its wave closure duration by the time interval between the onset of intraoral pressure build-up and the burst meaning the release of closure ; Voice onset time(VOT) on by the time interval between the burst and the onset or glottal vibration. Heavily aspirated bilabial stop consonant /$p^h$/ showed the highest intraoral pressure value, unaspirated /$p^{\star}$/, the second, slightly aspirated /P/, the lowest. The syllable initial bilabial stops showed higher intraoral pressure than word initial stops, and the value of loudly phonated consonants were higher than moderate consonants. The longest closure duration period was that of /$p^{\star}$/ and the shortest, /P/, and the duration was longer in word initial position and in the moderate voice. In VOT, the order of the longest to shortest was $/{p^h}/, /p/, /{p^\star}/$, and the value was shorer when the consonant was in intervocalic position and when it was phonated with a loud voice.

Purpose: This study was performed to quantify the repeat rate of imaging acquisitions based on different clinical examinations, and to assess the prevalence of error types in intraoral bitewing and periapical imaging using a digital complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor(CMOS) intraoral sensor. Materials and Methods: A total of 8,030 intraoral images were retrospectively collected from 3 groups of undergraduate clinical dental students. The type of examination, stage of the procedure, and reasons for repetition were analysed and recorded. The repeat rate was calculated as the total number of repeated images divided by the total number of examinations. The weighted Cohen's kappa for inter- and intra-observer agreement was used after calibration and prior to image analysis. Results: The overall repeat rate on intraoral periapical images was 34.4%. A total of 1,978 repeated periapical images were from endodontic assessment, which included working length estimation (WLE), trial gutta-percha (tGP), obturation, and removal of gutta-percha (rGP). In the endodontic imaging, the highest repeat rate was from WLE (51.9%) followed by tGP (48.5%), obturation (42.2%), and rGP (35.6%). In bitewing images, the repeat rate was 15.1% and poor angulation was identified as the most common cause of error. A substantial level of intra- and inter-observer agreement was achieved. Conclusion: The repeat rates in this study were relatively high, especially for certain clinical procedures, warranting training in optimization techniques and radiation protection. Repeat analysis should be performed from time to time to enhance quality assurance and hence deliver high-quality health services to patients

Real-time three-dimensional shape measurement is becoming increasingly important in various fields, including medical sciences, high-technology industry, and microscale measurements. However, there are not so many 3D profile tools specially designed for specifically narrow space, for example, to scan the tooth shape of a human jaw. In this paper, a real-time 3D intraoral scanner is proposed for the measurement of tooth profile in the mouth cavity. The proposed system comprises a laser diode beam, a micro charge-coupled device, a graticule, a piezoelectric transducer, a set of optical lenses, and a polhemus device sensor. The phase-shifting technique is used along with an accurate calibration method for the measurement of the tooth profile. Experimental and theoretical inspection of the phase-to-coordinate relation is presented. In addition, a nonlinear system model is developed for collimating illumination that gives the more accurate mathematical representation of the system, thus improves the shape measurement accuracy. Experiment results are presented to verify the feasibility and performance of the developed system. The experimental results indicate that overall measurement error accuracy can be controlled within 0.4 mm with a variability of ${\pm}0.01$.

The purpose of this investigation was to compare the direct digital radiographic system with film-based digital imaging system using Ektaspeed and Ektaspeed Plus film with respect to image characteristics and detectability and evaluate the sensor noise with the use of subtraction method. Direct digital radiographic system which used was Sens-A-Ray system(Regam Medical Systems, Sundsvall, Sweden) and film-based digital imaging system was composed of Macintosh II ci computer, high resolution Sony XC-77 CCD camera and intraoral x-ray film(Kodak Ektaspeed film, Kodak Ektaspeed Plus film). Images were taken by using CCD sensor of Sens-A-Ray system, Ektaspeed film and Ektaspeed Plus film with variable exposure time(0.06s, 0.1s, 0.16s, 0.2s, 0.3s, 0.4s, 0.5s, 0.6s, O.8s, LOs), 5 times at each exposure time. And then ektaspeed films and ektaspeed plus films were digitized using CCD camera. Image groups were divided into 3 groups; Sens-A-Ray group(direct digital radiographic system), Ektaspeed group and Ektaspeed Plus group (film-based digital imaging system) They were assessed by the following three aspects; image density, image contrast and detectability and sensor noise of Sens-A-Ray system was also evaluated. The results were as follow : 1. S group showed higher density than E , EP group except at the low exposure time(p<0.01). 2. S group showed higher contrast than E,EP group except at the high exposure time(p<0.01). 3. All groups showed good detectability at the each proper exposure time. Lowest exposure time which shows maximum detectability in S,EP group(0.5s) was lower than that in E group(0.6s). 4. Sensor noise of Sens-A-Ray system generally increased according to exposure time. On the basis of the above results, it was considered that Sens-A-Ray system could show higher speed, higher contrast than Ektaspeed, Ektaspeed Plus film except at too high and low exposure time and the same detectability as the conventional intraoral film.

이갈이 치료에 가장 널리 이용되고 있는 구내교합장치는 치아와 턱관절 및 주위조직을 보호함으로써 이갈이 때문에 발생하는 여러 합병증을 예방하는 것을 주목적으로 하지만, 이갈이 억제에 있어서는 일시적인 증상감소의 효과만을 가질 뿐이므로 환자 스스로가 이갈이를 인지하여 습관을 중단할 수 있도록 하기 위한 특수한 장치의 개발이 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 소형 방수 스위치를 이용하여 구내장치에 들어가는 부품을 최소화하고 전원의 사용시간을 최대화 함으로서 상품화 가능한 이갈이 진단 및 조절용 장치(이하 이갈이장치)를 개발하여 소개하고, 임상적으로 사용하기 전 장치에 대한 신뢰도를 조사하고자 하였다. 새로 개발한 장치는 이갈이 센서인 소형 방수스위치로 구성된 정보입력부, 중앙정보처리장치(CPU)인 정보처리부, 이갈이 신호를 수신하는 정보저장부, 이갈이 신호에 대한 소리나 진동으로 반응하는 반응장치부 및 컴퓨터상에서 저장된 이갈이 정보를 표시하여 이갈이 빈도와 시간, 양태 등을 확인시켜주는 정보표시부로 구성되어 있다. 이 중에서 resin sheet로 만든 상하의 wafer 사이에 정보입력부인 스위치는 좌우 견치 설면에 고정하고 정보처리부 CPU는 구개중앙에 고정하여 구내교합장치를 제작한 한편, 여기에서 송신되는 정보는 별도의 외부 장치인 반응장치 및 정보저장장치에서 인식하여 feedback을 보낼 수 있도록 하였다. 장치제작의 신뢰도조사를 위해서는 단국대학교 치과대학 학생 중 정상교합을 가진 지원자 10명의 상악 석고모형에 대하여 두 명의 술자가 각각 이갈이장치를 제작하여 그 장치가 반응하는 힘의 크기를 비교하였으며(술자간 신뢰도조사), 또한 한명의 술자가 첫 회에 조사한 정보를 기억하지 못하게 약 2일의 시간 간격을 두고 각각 제작하고 그 장치가 반응하는 힘의 크기를 비교하였다(술자내 신뢰도조사). 술자간 및 술자내 조사에서 이갈이장치가 반응하는 최소의 수직력, 측방력, 중심력에서 모두 높은 상관관계를 보였으며 측정된 값에 있어 서로 유의한 차이를 보여주지 않았다. 새로 개발한 이갈이장치는 부품을 소형화하였으며 제작이 편리하고 구강내에서 안전하게 사용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 전원의 사용시간을 최대로 할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있으며 술자간 및 술자내 신뢰도 조사를 통하여 임상에 적용가능한 높은 재현성을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 이 장치는 정보처리 및 저장장치가 있고 음향이나 진동을 이용한 바이오피드백 기능을 가지고 있어 이갈이 환자의 진단과 조절에 임상적으로 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
