An in vitro study was performed in order to evaluate the restoring methods in the endodontically treated molar teeth. 68 extracted teeth were divided into 4 groups according to the restoring techniques. The teeth of first group were restored by amalgam. Those of second group were restored by the stainless steel post and amalgam. The teeth of the third group were restored by the amalgam with crown. The teeth of the fourth group were restored by the stainless steel post and amalgam core with crown. All the specimens were tested and measured for the fracture load by means of the Instron (UTM-111-500 Toyo Baldwin Co., LTD. Japan) and the Pressure Instrument (Yonsei University, Department of Metal Engineering.) The results were as follows; 1. There were no statistical differences in the fracture loads between the amalgam restoration and post-amalgam core restorative techniques. 2. The techniques of amalgam core with crown showed lower fracture loads those of post and amalgam core with crown. 3. In the crowned teeth, they presented higher fracture loads than those without crown.

In order to determine if GK-101E(N-monochloro-DL-2-aminobutyrate) solution was effective in the removal of carious dentin, this study was conducted on 75 extracted human carious teeth. GK-101E solution was compared in effectiveness to saline solution.75 extracted human carious teeth were randomly assigned to two groups accordingly : (1) 50 teeth were treated with GK-101E solution : and (2) 25 teeth were treated with saline solution. Teeth in each group were divided into the medium or medium-hard consistency. Treatment consisted of directing the pulsating stream of each coded test solution utilizing the Caridex$^{TM}$ Caries Removal System against the carious surface for 4 mimutes. One operator treated all teeth with corded solution, and four investigators scored on the treated teeth based on visual examination and tactile evaluation with a dental explorer in conjunction with staining method with Caries Detector$^{TM}$ The results were as follows : 1. All groups showed various effect of carious dentin removal. 2. GK-101E solution was statistically superior to physiologic saline solution in the removal of carious dentin, regardless of carious consistency. 3. GK-101E solution in the medium-hard consistency was statistically superior to that in the medium consistency in the caries removal(p=0.001). 4. Saline solution in the medium consistency was equivalent to that in the medium-hard consistency in caries removal(p>0.1).

The author conducted a dental survey of a college girl students and compared with that of E college students 10 years ago which based on the same criteria. The items of this survey included the prevalence of dental caries, DMFT and the kinds of restored material. All college students 1,414 were examined in May 1978, with the recommended criteria and method of W.H.O.. Among them, the data of 1,393 were analyzed for this study. The following results were obtained: 1. The average number of present teeth were 28.97${\pm}$1.64. 2. The prevalence of dental caries was 84.92% and D.M.F. index was 15.51. Average D.M.F. teeth were 4.49${\pm}$3.69. 3. The average number of decayed (D) teeth were 2.09${\pm}$2.16. 4.30% of the present decayed teeth was secondary decay, and 2.44% of the decayed teeth was indicated for extraction. 4. The average number of missing(M) teeth were 0.32${\pm}$0.79. It included 8.56% of root fragements. 5. Average number of filled(F) teeth were 2.09${\pm}$3.17. F-ratio of this group was 46.45%. The analysis revealed 50.88% of amalgam alloy, 31.41% of gold inlays, and 1.20%, the least among the filling materials, silicate cement or composite resin. 6. While the prosthodontic treatment, such as crown and bridge has reduced than that of 10 years ago, the fillings and inlays as the conservative means has increased.

Background: Bovine and porcine teeth are often used in in vitro experiments as substitutes of human teeth. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to perform a comparative analysis of enamel morphology of permanent human, bovine and porcine teeth under the scanning electron microscope. Methods: As many as 10 human, 10 bovine, and 10 porcine teeth were studied. All the teeth were sectioned and the halves were randomly divided into 2 groups according to the examined tissue (vestibular enamel at the mid-height of the dental crown and in the cervical area). Human and bovine enamel was etched for 15 sec and porcine enamel for 30 sec. The scanning electron microscope analysis was performed. The length and width of enamel prisms were determined with the "Met-Ilo" 1.1 computer program. Results: All enamel samples revealed the same etching pattern-Silverstone's type 2. Bovine enamel showed a similar porosity and the amount of interprismatic enamel compared to human enamel while the amount and width of interprismatic enamel bands in porcine enamel were evidently greater. The shape of the porcine prisms was visually similar to human prisms, although dimensions were significantly different. However, bovine prisms differed in form and appeared to be distinctly elongated. Conclusions: Reported findings indicate that the results of experimental studies carried out on bovine and porcine enamel should not be compared with the results obtained on human enamel.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between gingival thickness (GT) and keratinized gingiva width (KGW), papilla height (PH), and crown ratio (CR) by employing transgingival probing and an intraoral scanner (IOS). Methods: This cross-sectional study examined 360 maxillary anterior teeth from 60 patients. GT was assessed using transgingival probing with an endodontic spreader. KGW, CR, and PH were measured using an IOS. One-way analysis of variance, the Student's t-test, and Spearman correlation coefficients were employed for statistical analysis. Results: Higher GT was significantly associated with thinner KGW in the central region (P=0.019). There was no statistically significant difference in GT between teeth (P=0.06). PH was lower in lateral teeth than in canines (P=0.047), with a PH of 2.99 mm in lateral teeth. The KGW was narrower in canines than in central teeth (P=0.007). A moderate correlation was observed between KGW and PH in the central region (P=0.01), while a weak negative correlation was found between KGW and CR (P=0.043). Conclusions: A moderate negative correlation was found between GT and KGW, as well as between PH and KGW in central teeth. In contrast, a weak negative correlation existed between CR and KGW. The PH (2.99 mm) was lower in lateral teeth than in canines. The traditional paradigm, which suggests a positive correlation between KGW and GT, was reevaluated by measuring KGW using an IOS.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the human pulpal response to Dentin Bonding Desensitizer. Class V cavities were prepared on the buccal surfaces of the first premolars and Dentin Bonding Desensitizer(ALL-BOND Desensitizer, Bisco, Inc. U.S.A.) was applicated in ten experimental teeth, or ZOE(PROPAC, GC Co. TOKYO, JAPAN) cement in eight control teeth and cavities were filled with light curing glass ionomer(Fuji II LC, GC Co., TOKYO, JAPAN). At 3-day and 25-day postoperative interval. pulpal response was observed and evaluated histologically with light microscope. The results were as follows. ; 1. At 3-day postoperative interval, the control teeth were grade 1 inflammatory cell response and grade 1 connective tissue response. 2. At 25-day postoperative interval, all control teeth were grade 1 inflammatory cell response and in three control teeth grade 1 connective tissue response were observed, and one teeth showed grade 2 connective tissue response. 3. At 3-day postoperative interval, the experimental teeth were grade 1 inflammatory cell response and grade 1 connective tissue response. Below the cavity, a few inflammatory cell(PMNs) in odontoblastic layer, increased blood vessels and pulpal cells were seen and this pulpal response was similar to control teeth. 4. At 25-day postoperative interval, in four experimental teeth grade 1 inflammatory cell response and grade 1 connective tissue response were observed, and one experimental teeth showed mild inflammatory response. 5. At 3-day and 25-day postoperative interval, no reparative dentin deposition was seen. 6. Both experimental and control group, pulpal response showed difference between 3 and 25-day of postoperative interval. In control teeth, increased predentin and pulpal cells were seen and in experimental teeth, congestion of blood vessels and increased pulpal cells were seen. In conclusion, the pulpal irritation due to this Dentin Bonding Desensitizer was not severe, and it was considered that the agent was not harmful to the human pulp.

치배형성기 발육 이상으로 유치열이나 영구치열에서 정상보다 많이 발생하게 된 치아를 과잉치라 한다. 과잉치는 형태에 따라 정상 치아와 형태가 비슷한 보충치(supplementary tooth)와 형태가 다른 흔적치(rudimentary tooth)로 나눌 수 있다. 대부분의 과잉치는 흔적치의 형태를 가지며 보충치는 드물게 나타난다. 보충치는 상악 측절치 부위에서 호발하며 정상 전치와 유사한 형태와 크기를 갖기 때문에 진단시 특별히 주의를 기울여야 한다. 미맹출 과잉치는 상악 전치의 맹출 장애 및 전위, 치간 이개, 치근 흡수, 낭종 형성 등의 합병증을 유발할 수 있으므로 조기에 진단하고 치아 배열 상태 및 치아 발육 단계에 따라 적절한 치료를 시행하는 것이 중요하다. 본 3 증례는 상악 측절치부에 편측 혹은 양측으로 보충치 형태의 과잉치를 갖는 증례로서 맹출 관찰 및 외과적 발거, 교정 치료 및 레진 수복을 통해 치료하였다.

과잉치는 법랑기(enamel organ)가 치배형성을 지속하거나 과도한 세포증식을 함으로써 발생한다. 과잉치는 상악 전방부에서 종종 발견되며, 유치열기와 혼합치열기에서 다양한 문제를 야기한다. 과잉치는 형태에 따라서 보충치(supplemental tooth)와 흔적치 (rudimental tooth)로 나눌 수 있다. 보충치는 정상 절치와 크기 및 형태가 유사하나, 흔적치는 비정상적인 형태와 작은 크기를 갖고 있다. 보충치는 영구 측절치 부위에서 호발하며 정상 전치와 유사한 형태와 크기를 갖고 있으므로, 발치시 주의를 기울여야 한다. 본 3증례는 상악 전방부에 정상 전치 형태의 과잉치를 갖는 증례들이다. 모든 증례에서, 치근단 교합, 파노라마 방사선 사진 등의 기존 방사선 사진 촬영 외에 3 Dimensional Dental-Computed Tomography(3D Dental-CT)를 촬영하여 진단하였다. 기존 일반 방사선 사진들(conventional radiographs)과 3D Dental-CT를 비교시, 일반 방사선 사진들은 2차원적인 영상만을 제공하여 상의 해석에 있어서 술자의 주관이 개입되는 한계가 있다. 반면 3D Dental-CT는 과잉치의 정확한 위치와 형태에 대한 객관적 인 정보를 제공하며, 좀 더 보존적 인 수술을 시행하고, 수술 시간과 스트레스를 줄이는데 유용하다. 그러므로 일반 방사선 사진 촬영 후 과잉치의 위치가 불분명하고 인접 영구치의 손상이 의심되는 경우 3D Dental-CT를 이용한 진단이 고려된다.
