복합레진의 광중합시간 단축과 관련하여 최근에 개발된 고강도 할로겐광 중합기를 기존의 중강도 할로겐광 중합기와 비교 평가하기 위하여, 세 종류의 광중합용 복합레진을 두께가 2, 3, 4, 5mm인 스테인레스 스틸 몰드에 충전하고, 레진 상면을 중강도 할로겐광은 (1) $400mW/cm^2$으로 40초간 고강도 할로겐광은 (2) 10초동안 $100mW/cm^2$부터 $1000mW/cm^2$까지 출력량이 증가하면서 중합하고 다음 10초동안 $1000mW/cm^2$로 중합하는 ramp 모드로 20초간, (3) $1000mW/cm^2$의 boost 모드로 10초간, (4) $850mW/cm^2$의 표준 모드로 20초간 조사하고, 상면과 하면의 표면경도를 미세경도측정기로 측정한 후 실험군간의 차이를 분석하였다. 레진 상면의 경도는 중합광의 강도와 중합시간 및 레진 두께에 따른 차이가 없었다(유의수준 0.05, 이하 동일). 레진 하면의 경도는, 두께 2mm의 중강도군(1)을 제외하고, 상면의 경도보다 낮았다. 레진 하면의 경도는 두께 2mm에서 중강도군(1)이 ramp군(2) 및 boost군(3)보다 높았고 중강도군(1)과 표준군(4) 간 및 ramp군(2)과 boost 군(3) 간에 차이가 없었으며, 두께 3mm에서 중강도군(1)이 가장 높았고 표준군(4)이 boost군(3)보다 높았다. 따라서, 복합레진의 중합 깊이 측면에서 볼 때, $1000mW/cm^2$의 고강도 할로겐광을 10초간 조사한 것은 $400mW/cm^2$의 중강도 할로겐 광을 40초간 조사한 것에 미치지 못하였으며, 레진 두께 2mm이내인 경우에는 $850mW/cm^2$의 고강도 할로겐광을 20초간 조사함으로써 $400mW/cm^2$의 중강도 할로겐광을 40초간 조사한 것과 대등한 중합을 일으킬 수 있었다.

Background: Light-emitting diodes curing unit (LCU), which emit blue light, is used for polymerization of composite resins in many dentistry. Although the use of LCU for light-cured composite resin polymerization is considered safe, it is still controversial whether it can directly or indirectly have harmful biological influences on oral tissues. The aim of this study was to elucidate the biological effects of LCU in wavelengths ranging from 440 to 490 nm, on the cell viability and secretion of inflammatory cytokines in MDPC-23 odontoblastic cells and inflammatory-induced MDPC-23 cells by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods: The MTT assay and observation using microscope were performed on MDPC-23 cells to investigate the cell viability and cytotoxic effects on LCU irradiation. Results: MDPC-23 cells and LPS stimulated MDPC-23 cells were found to have no effects on cell viability and cell morphology in the LCU irradiation. Nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin $E_2$ which are the pro-inflammatory mediators, and interleukin-$1{\beta}$ and tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) which are the proinflammatory cytokines were significantly increased in MCPD-23 cells after LCU irradiation as time increased in comparison with the control. LCU irradiation has the potential to induce inflammation or biological damages in normal dental tissues, including MDPC-23 cells. Conclusion: Therefore, it is necessary to limit the use of LCU except for the appropriate dose and irradiation time. In addition, LCU irradiation of inflammatory-induced MDPC-23 cells by LPS was reduced the secretion of NO compared to the LPS alone treatment group and was significantly reduced the secretion of TNF-${\alpha}$ in all the time groups. Therefore, LCU application in LPS stimulated MDPC-23 odontoblastic cells has a photodynamic therapy like effect as well as inflammation relief.

One disadvantage of Glass Ionomer Cement Restoration is the difficulty in polishing. To find the appropriate polishing method, we polished the surface of Glass Ionomer Cement Restorations by 11 combination methods serially using disks shared with large-small particles and evaluated the polishing process in terms of surface roughness, surface roughness curve, and SEM findings. In addition, a visible light curing type bonding material was applied to evaluate the possible improvement in surface properties. The following results were obtained. 1. The disk surface of Glass Ionomer Cement was polished serially by disks with superfine particles, but it didn't become smooth. 2. The surface of Microfilled Composite resin became smoother as using a disk with finer particles. 3. When a visible light curing type bonding material was applied in finishing process, the surface of Glass Ionomer Cement became smooth as much as the applied matrix.

It is pointed out that the color of composite resin is changing according to it's ploymerization and this color change is a harmful effect for the clinical satisfacion of composite resin restoration. The purpose of this study was to compare the changes of color of newly developed composite resins between before and after exposure of activating light. Five Compostie resins (8 shades) were employed: Palfique Estelite(UL, U, DY, G ; Tokuyama), Photo Clearfil A (US : Kuraray), Photo Clearfil Bright (US ; Kuraray), GC Graft LC(A3 ; GC), Silux Plus(U; 3M), Tristirnulus values of each material were determined before and after curing-light exposure by using a Micro Multi Photometer (MMP-1001, Nihon Denshoku Kogyo). The values were transformed into $L^*\;a^*\;b^*$ system and color changes of the resins were evaluated by the changes of $L^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$ values for the individual shades. In addition, the effects of resin thickness and background color on color changes were also studied The finding were as follows: 1. Color changes of $L^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$ values were recognized due to the light exposure for all products. The $b^*$ values of Palfique Estelite showed negligible changes for all shades. 2. The $b^*$ values were affected strongly by the background color, especially when decreasing the brightness on the background color.(Request original article reprints to Dr. Aoshima)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the compensation effect of exposure duration increase to decreased light intensity of visible-light curing unit. The specimen with 2mm thickness was made of Restorative $Z-100^{TM}$ (A2 shade, 3M Dental Products, U.S.A.) and cured with $Optilux^{TM}$ (Demetron Research Co. U.S.A.). The light intensity was controlled to 420 $mW/cm^2$, 540 $mW/cm^2$, 630 $mW/cm^2$ and curing time, also, controlled to 40, 60, 80 seconds. Cured specimen was stored in a light-proof container for 24 hours to post-irradation was completed. Microhardness of top and bottom surface of specimen were measured to evaluate the depth of cure. The obtained results were as follows: 1. The microhardness of top and bottom surface of the composite resin specimen was increased significantly as light intensity and exposure time was increased (P<0.01). 2. Light intensity was more correlated with bottom microhardness(${\gamma}{\geq}$0.438) than top microhardness(${\gamma}{\geq}$0.213), and exposure time was more correlated with top microhardness (${\gamma}{\geq}$0.424) than bottom microhardness(${\gamma}{\geq}$0.335). 3. The regressive equation was obtained in this study as follows : $H=0.07{\times}D+0.012{\times}I+76$ (H : Microhardness(KHN), D : Exposure time, I : Light intensity)

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of etching by monitoring the etched surfaces and the shear bonding strength of resin and porcelain with etched zirconia. Methods: The CAD/CAM was used to produce 24 zirconia blocks in groups of six. The zirconia specimen surfaces were sandblasted, and they were then divided into 12 specimens with surface etching and 12 specimens without etching for the control group. 12 specimens of composite resin were bonded using a curing light, and 12 specimens of porcelain underwent vita porcelain build-up sintering and the shear bonding strength was measured using a universal testing system. The SEM photographs were taken in order to observe any differences in the surfaces before and after etching, and they were magnified by a factor of 8 in order to observe fractured surface types. Results: The results of the shear bonding strength measurements are as follows: For the composite resin tests, between zirconia and resin, the shear bonding strength of the control group (NZR) without surface etching was 4.68 Mpa and the experimental group (EZC) with surface etching was 9.65 Mpa, which is significantly higher. The crystal structure of the zirconia was confirmed to be different in observations of the surfaces before and after etching. Conclusion : In comparing the shear bonding strength of zirconia and composite resin, the effects of etching were found to be significant. The effects of surface etching were also observed in fractured surfaces between zirconia and porcelain. This is expected to be applicable to various prosthetics as surface etching on zirconia is used in clinics.
