Zirconia($ZrO_2$) has attracted much attention in science and technology because of its high refractive index, high melting temperature, hardness, low thermal conductivity and corrosion barrier properties. And it is widely used as the dental restoration material because of its esthetic appearance. In this research, we analyzed the particle size and composition of the imported dental porcelain for zirconia. And the glass frit was produced. To decrease the glass transition temperature and softening temperature of the glass frit, $Li_2O$ was added into it and the effect of $Li_2O$ on the firing temperature was researched. Then the glass which contains leucite crystal with a high coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) was manufactured and it was mixed with the glass frit to control the CTE. The phase composition were analyzed using the X-ray diffraction. The morphologies of the samples were observed by the scanning electron microscope. The 4wt% $Li_2O$-added glass frit has the optimal glass transition temperature and softening temperature. And 6 wt% leucite crystal was mixed with the glass frit to control the CTE. From the experimental results of crystallization, the crystal phase was found only leucite crystal.

인공치과재료인 도재에 백류석(Leucite)결정을 이용해 왔는데, 이는 치과재료에 함께 사용하는 금속재질의 열팽창계수가 크기 때문에 이에 맞추기 위한 것이다. 산업적으로는 카리 장석으로부터 부조화 용융으로 leucite 결정을 합성하여 이용하고 있으며 이는 $1150^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 생성된다. 본 연구는 치과 재료에 사용하는 leucite를 보다 낮은 온도에서 조화 용융으로 합성하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위하여 카리 장석을 주원료로, 그 이외에 탄산칼륨, 수산화알루미늄을 사용하여 화학 양론적인 조성으로 고상합성법을 이용하여 leucite 합성 실험을 하였다. 그 결과 leucite를 조화 용융으로 $950^{\circ}C$부터 고상법으로 합성되었다.

The tests of three point bending and vickers hardness have been carried out to investigate mechanical characteristics of bioceramics for artificial dental crowns. And color and color difference test has been performed to study chromaticity changes after sintering specimens composited with glass and leucite powders. In addition, thermal dilation test has been carried out to examine bonding relations between dental porcelain and metal frame (Ni-Cr alloy). The result of three point bending test showed a maximum strength of about 68 MPa. Thermal expansion coefficient changed from 8.3$\times$10-6/$^{\circ}C$ to 13.5$\times$10-6/$^{\circ}C$ with increasing leucite content (0~30wt.%) in glass matrix. Bonding between porcelain (25% leucite-75% glass) and Ni-Cr alloy was excellent.

PURPOSE. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of full-coverage all-ceramic zirconia, lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, leucite glass-ceramic, or stainless steel crowns on antagonistic primary tooth wear. MATERIALS AND METHODS. There were four study groups: the stainless steel (Steel) group, the leucite glass-ceramic (Leucite) group, the lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (Lithium) group, and the monolithic zirconia (Zirconia) group. Ten flat crown specimens were prepared per group; opposing teeth were prepared using primary canines. A wear test was conducted over 100,000 chewing cycles using a dual-axis chewing simulator and a 50 N masticating force, and wear losses of antagonistic teeth and restorative materials were calculated using a three-dimensional profiling system and an electronic scale, respectively. Statistical significance was determined using One-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (P<.05). RESULTS. The Leucite group ($2.670{\pm}1.471mm^3$) showed the greatest amount of antagonist tooth wear, followed by in decreasing order by the Lithium ($2.042{\pm}0.696mm^3$), Zirconia ($1.426{\pm}0.477mm^3$), and Steel groups ($0.397{\pm}0.192mm^3$). Mean volume losses in the Leucite and Lithium groups were significantly greater than in the Steel group (P<.05). No significant difference was observed between mean volume losses in the Zirconia and Steel groups (P>.05). CONCLUSION. Leucite glass-ceramic and lithium disilicate glass-ceramic cause more primary tooth wear than stainless steel or zirconia.

Statement of problem : Long-term exposure of dental porcelain to saliva during temporary cementation of a porcelain-fused to metal (PFM) restoration could affect mechanical strength of dental porcelain if the restoration is refired. Purpose : This work was performed to verify the effect of water on the mechanical strength in aged dental porcelain. Material and method : 63 specimens(Vintage Metalbond opaque and opal powder) were distributed to three experimental groups ; non-water immersed control, immersed and pedried, and immersed and non-predired groups. The changes in flexural strength and fracture toughness after specimen refiring related to Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Results : 1. The FT-IR reflectances assigned to molecular bonds of $H_2O$ were noted as significantly different between the first-fired group and three refired groups and between two water-immersed groups and control group after refiring(p<0.05). They were also significantly different between predried group and non-predried group after refiring(p<0.05) 2. For opal specimens, FT-IR absorbances for hydrogen bond of $H_2O$ and silanols were significantly higher in non-predried group than in predreid group(p<0.05). 3 Predried opal group showed the highest mean flexural strength(p<0.05). Non-predried group indicated higher mean flexural strength than control group(p<0.05). 4. The mean fracture toughness for predired group was higher than non-predried group(p<0.05). 5. The difference of leucite crystal size is noted between control group and water-immersed, predried group in scanning electron microscopic study(${\times}10000$).

In this study, optical and mechanical properties were investigated with 4 kinds of commercial dental enamels. As a result of EDS analysis $SiO_2,\;Na_{2}O,\;Al_{2}O_3\;and\;K_{2}O$ were the main components of commercial dental enamels. In case of H specimen, content of $SiO_2\;and\;K_2O$ were more than that of another specimens. Starting powder and fired specimens were glass ceramics which were consist of amorphous phase and leucite (crystalline) phase. Crystallization did not occurred during firing process, since the XRD peak intensity was similar between starting powder and fired specimens. As a result of differential thermal analysis, $T_g$ and crystalline temperature was varied with composition in the range of $548\sim576^{\circ}C$ and $735\sim780^{\circ}C$ respectively. 0.5mm thickness dental enamel specimens showed sufficient translucent properties. However, transmittance and reflectance were lower than 5% result from scattering due to the refractive index difference between glass and crystalline phase. 3 point bending strength was in the range of 73.9$\sim$101.8MPa which was similar or slightly higher than enamel of natural teeth and Vickers hardness was higher than enamel of natural teeth more than 100.

To maintain the strength obtained with metal ceramic restorations, excellent gradient of translucency, wear resistance in the same range as enamel and good marginal integrity, all ceramics have been developed with many advantages in recent years. Authentic (Ceramay, Germany) is a type of low fusing, leucite-reinforced pressable ceramic that allows both the laying technique and the staining technique or the combination of the two. Two-phase glass ceramic will allow achieving unmatched esthetics even with the simplest laying or staining technique. The ingots and laying porcelain come in Vita shades. Case selection has to be the most crucial thing to achieve optimal esthetics, and cooperation with technician has to be emphasized to satisfy patient's highest esthetic demands.

본 연구에서는 소성한 치과도재 시편에 대해 glazing 처리 여부에 따른 수분 침투와 기계적 물성의 비교분석을 통해 glazing 처리의 중요한 의미를 도출하고자 하였다. 또한, 제한된 가속 시효처리 방법으로 구강 내 환경에서 치과용 수복물의 내구수명 예측이 가능하였으며 수분 내에서 가속 시효처리를 통하여 치과도재는 수분 노출로 인한 열화가 일어나고 굽힘강도 저하 현상을 보였다. 치과도재의 glazing 처리를 통해 연마 시 발생하는 시편 표면의 흠집 또는 소성시 발생하는 미세균열이나 기공의 노출을 억제함으로써 굽힘강도 향상 결과를 보였다. 또한 glazing 처리한 시편이 가속 시효처리의 시간이 증가할수록 강도 저하 현상을 보이긴 하지만 glazing 처리를 하지 않은 시편과 비교하여 볼 때, 열화되는 속도가 작은 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 구강 내에서 치과도재 보철의 내구성을 확보하기 위해서 영구장착 전 glazing 처리를 반드시 시행할 것을 권하며, 수분 침투 억제 방법에 대해서도 향후 체계적인 연구가 되어야 할 것으로 생각한다.
