본 실험은 resin 시편을 이용하여 미리 제작한 근관 내 불규칙 확장부에서 근관 충전용 sealer의 적용 방법에 따른 충전 효과를 평가해 보았다. Endo-training Bloc을 절단하여 사십 개의 규격화된 resin 블록 시편을 획득하였다. 각각의 시편에 $\#20$, 08taper GT 파일을 사용하여 근관을 형성하였고 근관에 손상이 가지 않도록 시편을 양분한 후 양분된 시편의 한 쪽 근관 벽에 다양한 근관 내 확장부를 표현하는 구를 형성하였다. 양분된 시편을 결찰하고 절단 부위를 밀봉하였으며 AH26 sealer를 사용하여 단일 cone 충전법으로 근관을 충전하였다. 네 가지의 근관 충전용 sealer의 적용방법을 이용하였다: A군, $\#20$ K-file : B군, ultrasonic file : C군, lentulo spiral: D군. EZ-Fill bi-directioanl spiral. 모든 시편은 $37^{\circ}\;100\%$ 상대습도에서 1주일간 보관한 후 각 시편을 근단에서 3mm, 4mm, 5mm 부위에서 수평으로 절단하고 각각의 절단면을 위상차현미경과 디지털 카메라를 이용하여 30배율로 관찰하고 촬영하였다. 관찰된 절단면은 scoring system을 이용하여 점수를 산정하였고 각 군 간의 통계적인 유의성 유무는 Fisher's Exact Test를 이용하여 시행하였다.

연구목적: 이 연구의 목적은 레진 시멘트의 포스트 공간 내 적용 방법에 따른 포스트의 push-out접착 강도를 비교하는 것이었다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 30개의 발거된 하악소구치를 사용하여 시멘트의 적용 방법에 따라 세 그룹으로 나누었는데 lentulo-spiral을 이용하여 포스트 공간 내에 레진 시멘트를 적용하는 그룹 (group Lentulo), 직접 포스트 표면에 레진 시멘트를 도포하는 그룹 (group Direct), elongation tip을 이용하여 포스트 공간 내에 레진 시멘트를 적용하는 그룹 (group Elongation tip)으로 나누었다. 근관을 성형, 충전한 뒤 Rely-X post drill을 사용하여 포스트 공간을 형성하였고, Rely-X fiber post를 Rely-X Unicem 적용하여 광중합 하였다. 시편을 아크릴릭 레진에 포매 하고 저속 절단기로 치아 장축에 수직으로 절단하여, 하나의 치아에서 치관부, 중앙, 근단부의 세 개의 시편을 얻었다. 절단한 시편을 Universal Testing Machine으로 push-out 접착 강도를 측정하였다. 접착 실패가 일어난 시편을 수술용 현미경 하에서 관찰하여 그 실패 양상을 결정하였다. 결과: 치근의 위치에 따른 push-out 접착 강도는 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 전용의 elongation tip을 사용한 그룹이 가장 높은 push-out 접착 강도를 나타냈다. 결론: 레진 시멘트를 포스트에 직접 적용하거나 lentulo-spiral을 사용하는 기존의 방법에 비해 elongation tip을 사용하는 것이 self-adhesive 계면의 결함을 줄이고 근관치료한 치아의 수복 성공율을 높일 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to compare post cementation efficacy according to the different adhesive systems and cement delivery methods. A total of 40 extracted human single-rooted premolar teeth were randomly divided in four groups according to the two luting agents of Unicem applicap (3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) or Variolink II (Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein) and cement delivery methods of direct cement application or lentulo spiral application. After restoration using glass?fiber posts, the samples were embedded in acrylic resin. Three sections of 2 mm thickness were prepared from each specimen, and the post in each section was subjected to a push-out test. The data were analysed statistically at significant level of 95%. The Unicem had significantly higher push-out bond strength than Variolink and the lentulo spiral application made higher bond strength (p<0.05). Adhesive failure between cement and dentin was predominant in all groups. The Unicem of self-etch system and cement delivery using lentulo spiral showed clinically acceptable and comparable bonding strength for the fiber post.

근관형성을 하는 과정에서 기구가 파절될 가능성은 언제나 존재한다. File을 비롯하여 lentulo spiral, Gates-Glidden (GG) bur 또는 여타의 이물질도 근관 내에 남겨질 수 있다. 근래에는 수동 file에 비해 많은 장점을 가지고 있는 회전식 nickel-titanium (NiTi) file의 사용이 보편화 되고 있으나 기구의 높은 파절 경향이 문제가 되고 있다. NiTi file의 파절은 매우 빠른 시간내에 일어나고 예측이 불가능하며 임상가에게 정신적 stress를 가져다. 주기 때문에 임상가로 하여금 niTi file의 사용을 주저하게 만들기도 한다. 근관 내 기구가 파절되면 제거하는 것이 가장 최선의 해결 방법이다. 초음파 기기와 미세 현미경의 사용으로 파절된 기구의 제거율이 높아지고 있지만 제거하는 것이 쉬운 일만은 아니며 항상 제거가 가능한 것도 아니다. 그러므로 예방이 최선의 방법이라 할 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 근관 내 file이 파절된 경우에 있어 여러 가지 대처 방안에 대해 보고하고자 한다.

During clinical endodontic treatment, we often find radiopaque filling material beyond the root apex. Accidental extrusion of calcium hydroxide could cause the injury of inferior alveolar nerve, such as paresthesia or continuous inflammatory response. This case report presents the extrusion of calcium hydroxide and treatment procedures including surgical intervention. A 48 yr old female patient experienced Calcipex II extrusion in to the inferior alveolar canal on left mandibular area during endodontic treatment. After completion of endodontic treatment on left mandibular first molar, surgical intervention was planned under general anesthesia. After cortical bone osteotomy and debridement, neuroma resection and neurorrhaphy was performed, and prognosis was observed. But no improvement in sensory nerve was seen following surgical intervention after 20 mon. A clinician should be aware of extrusion of intracanal medicaments and the possibility of damage on inferior alveolar canal. Injectable type of calcium hydroxide should be applied with care for preventing nerve injury. The alternative delivery method such as lentulo spiral was suggested on the posterior mandibular molar.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of tricalcium phosphate and Vitapex on the dogs' periapical tissues. Twenty mandibular premolars from 5 healthy dogs were used for this study. After the animals were anesthetized intramuscularly, pulp chambers were open and pulp tissue was extirpated with a barbed broach and H-file. Then the working length of the root canal was measured with H-file and pulp tissue was completely removed. Before the actual canal filling, the root canals of twenty teeth have been experimentally infected with opening the pulp chamber for 5 weeks. Periapical radiographs of the experimental teeth were taken to monitor the periapical pathological condition. Each root apex of 20 premolars was perforated with engine reamer and the root canals were enlarged with No. 30-60 H-files. They were divided into treated as follows. Control group: The root canal was filled with gutta-percha. Experimental group 1: The canal was dried with sterile paper points and mixture of tricalcium phosphate and physiological saline was overfilled beyond the root apex with a lentulo spiral. Then the root canal was filled gutta-percha and lateral condensation and the pulp chamber was filled with Caviton. Experimental group 2: The root canals were overfilled with Vitapex and were treated in the same manner as those in experimental group 1 At 1,2,3, and 8 weeks after experiment, the periapical tissues including the alveolar bone were fixed with 10% formalin solution for I week and decalcified with Plank-Rycho solution for 5 weeks. The specimens were embedded in paraffin and serial sections were cut into a thickness of 6 ${\mu}m$ at the plane of the root apex. Hematoxyline-eosin and Masson's trichrome stain were made for the histo-pathological examinations. The results were as follows: 1. Ingrowth of collagen fiber was observed from 1 week in control group and experimental groups. 2. The rate of bone formation of experimental group 1 was accelerated more than that of experimental group 2. 3. Resorption of cementum was seen in control group, but apposition of cementum was seen in experimental groups.

The difficulty of endodontic retreatment depends on various factors and it is affected by retention of post. In this experiment, root canal therapy was done in extracted human teeth and cut into 10mm length from the root apex, and then cemented by zinc phosphate cement, Vitremer$^{(R)}$(glass ionomer) luting cement and Panavia 21$^{(R)}$(resin cement). Post preparation was done by #4 Parapost drill at 6mm length and cement was inserted by lentulo spiral. After 24 hours, tensile bond strength, post removal time was measured after the ultrasonic application and the separation site was measured. The following results were obtained. 1. In measuring tensile bond strength, there is no statistical difference between zinc phosphate cement and Panavia 21$^{(R)}$, but Vitremer$^{(R)}$ showed lower value compared with those two cements. (p<0.001) 2. When the post removal time was measured after ultrasonic application, significant different value in order of Panavia 21$^{(R)}$, zinc phosphate cement and Vitremer$^{(R)}$ was shown. (p<0.001) 3. As a result of examining the separating site of each cement, all 16 of zinc phosphate cement group showed the fracture site between cement and post, Vitremer$^{(R)}$ was 13/16, and Panavia 2$^{(R)}$ was 8/16. In case of tooth restoration using Parapost, the use of Panavia 21 showed good retention property than Vitremer$^{(R)}$, but when retreatment is needed the difficulty of post removal will be increased.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of several materials on the healing process of apical wound. Sixteen mandibular premolars obtained from 4 healthy dogs were used for this study. Under general anesthesia, the pulpal chamber of each tooth was opened and the pulps were extirpated. The root canals were then instrumented with H-file and irrigated with physiologic saline solution ; the apices were purposely perforated and enlarged with the engine K-reamer. In the experimental groups, apical wounds were filled with one of calcium hydroxide, hydroxylapatite, and tricalcium phosphate materials, mixture of each materials and physiologic saline solution, with a lentulo spiral. In the control group, apical wounds were not filled with any material. All the root canals were filled by the lateral condensation technique with gutta-percha cone and ZOE sealer. The access opening of all the teeth were closed with amalgam. On the 10, 20, 40 and 60th day after experiment, experimental animals were sacrificed. Segments of jaws, each containing one tooth, were fixed in 10% formalin solution and decalcified in Plank-Rychlo solution. The specimens were embedded in paraffin and serially sectioned to an average thickness of $6{\mu}m$. The sections were stained by hematoxylin-eosin and Masson's trichrome stain method and examined under light microscope. The results were as follows : 1. In the experimental groups, the new bone formations were observed in apical wounds. 2. Fourty days later, apical wounds were healed by granulation tissue in the experimental groups, but were not healed by granulation tissue in the control group, and the healing process of experimental groups were more rapid than that of control group. 3. Sixty days later, chronic inflammation disappeared in the experimental groups, and the materials used showed biologic affinity to the periapical tissue. 4. In all the groups, the resorption of cementum appeared on the 10th and 20th day after experiment, and the deposition of cementum appeared on the 40th and 60th day after experiment, especially showing narrowness of apical foramen due to newly formed cementum in calcium hydroxide group. 5. Calcum hydroxide and tricalcium phosphate particles were gradually resolved, but hydroxylapatite particles were not resolved through the experimental period.
