STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The discoloration of anterior teeth restoration is one of the material problems demanding retreatment. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the color stability and affecting factors on esthetic restorative materials when subjected to accelerated aging. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study was conducted using porcelain disks (IPS Empress 2-glazed, IPS Empress 2-polished), direct restorative resin disks (SYNERGY Duo) and indirect restorative resin disks (Sinfony, TESCERA ATL). Accelerated aging was done by precipitating the specimens in 38.C distilled water and irradiating with xenon light, and the total irradiation was 397.98 KJ/mm. Color and microhardness change of the specimens were measured before accelerated aging and after 100 hours, 200 hours and 300 hours of accelerated aging, and Surface of the specimens were examined with SEM before and after 300 hours of accelerated aging. RESULTS: 1. After 300 hours' accelerated aging, a ${\Delta}E$ value was 3.3 or lower in IPS Empress 2-glazed, IPS Empress 2-polished and Sinfony. 2. After 300 hours' accelerated aging, gloss was lost and surface changes including microcracks were observed in TESCERA ATL and SYNERGY Duo, and color changes of them ranged between 3.58 and 6.40 ${\Delta}E$ units. 3. During 300 hours' accelerated aging, the microhardness of surface was increased by 3.21 - 19.64% in all kinds of composites resin. CONCLUSION: After 300 hours' accelerated aging, SEM images IPS Empress 2-glazed, IPS Empress 2-polished and Sinfony showed little morphological change and their color changes were considered to be clinically acceptable. And there was significant correlation between microhardness changes and color changes of composites (P < .05).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of stannous fluoride on the dentin bonding with three kinds of commercially available dentin bonding systems containing different adhesive monomers. Dentin specimens with exposed labial dentin prepared from freshly extracted bovine mandibular anterior teeth were divided into experimental and control groups. The specimens of experimental groups were bonded with dentin bonding systems and composite resins including All bond 2 ㅡ& Bisfil, Scotchbond Multi-Purpose & Z100, and Denthesive II Charisma after 2 % stannous& fluorided application for S minutes and washing for 1 minute. The specimens of control groups were bonded with the same dentin bonding systems and composite resins as used in the experimental groups. After bonded specimens were stored in $37^{\circ}C$ distilled water for 24 hours, the tensile bond strength and cohesive failure rate were measured, and then the pretreated dentin surfaces and the fractured dentin surfaces were examined under scanning electron microscope. The results were as follows : Mean bond strength of stannous fluoride applied groups of All bond 2, Scotchbond MP, and Denthesive II were 2.5MPa, 1.1MPa, and 1.1MPa respectively, and those of control groups were 7.5MPa, 8.1MPa, and 4.6MPa. Bond strength values of stannous fluoride applied groups were significantly lower than those of the control groups(p<0.05). SEM findings of dentin surfaces after stannous fluoride application demonstrated an appearance of partially remained smear layer and smear plugs inspite of pretreatment with 10 % phosphoric aicd or maleic acid solution, and an appearance of smear layer covered surface under Denthesive II priming. But those of control groups commonly showed clean dentin surfaces without smear layer and smear plugs. On SEM observation of the fractured dentin-resin interface, while most of the specimens of stannous fluoride applied groups showed adhesive failure mode, those of All bond 2 and Scotchbond MP control groups showed mainly adhesive-cohesive mixed failure mode, and mainly adhesive failure mode in Denthesive II control group.

Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of oral cancer and odontogenic myxoma is relatively uncommon benign tumor of mesenchymal origin. There are, to our knowledge, no prior reports of simultaneously occurring squamous cell carcinoma and odontogenic myxoma of the jaw bones. In this case, at first, the plain films and computed tomograms revealed a large expansile multilocular radiolucent lesion on left mandible and marked expansion of cortical plate. In addition this radiograms revealed also infiltrative bony destruction of anterior and medial border of ascending ramus of left mandible and alveolar bone of left maxilla, floating teeth on left lower molar area and metastatic enlargement of left submandibular, jugular digastric and spinal accessory lymphnodes. Magnetic resonance imaging of this patient revealed infiltrative growth of tumor on alveolar bone of left maxilla, left retromolar fat pad. left masseter and left medial pterygoid muscle. Intraoral presurgical biopsy presented typical features of squamous cell carcinoma. After chemotherapy with radiation therapy during 6 months. this central lesion was diagnosed as odontogenic myxoma by the postsurgical biopsy. After 3 months, this patient presented multiple metastatic signs at lumbar spines, rib and liver. Consequently, our case is simultaneous occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma and odontogenic myxoma.

This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the apical leakage in the following retrofilling techniques after apical resection; No apical cavity preparation and no retrofilling(control group), Amalgam(group I) or silver glass ionomer cement(group II) retrofilling after apical cavity preparation with mini contra-angle and bur, Amalgam(group III) or silver glass ionomer cement(group N) retrofilling after apical cavity preparation with ultrasonic micro endo tip. Extracted ninety upper anterior and lower canine teeth were fixed in skull simulators and root canals were prepared with step-back method and obturated with gutta-percha and zinc oxide eugenol sealer. Obturated roots were resected 2mm from apical ends and apical cavities of 1mm width and 2mm depth were prepared and retrofilled by above mentioned methods. After application of nail varnish on all surface except resected surface, apical 1/3 of the roots were placed in 1% methylene blue solution for 3 days. After longutudinal sectioning to expose central parts of filled materials, depths of penetrated dye were measured by measuring microscope and were analyzed statistically. The results were as follows. 1. Having no relation with instruments used in apical cavity preparation, amalgam retrofilling groups(group I and II) showed less apical leakage which was not significant statistically than no retrofilling group(control group) (P<0.05), but silver glass ionomer cement retrofilling gruoups(group II and IV) showed significantly less apical leakage than no retrofilling group(control group) (P<0.01). 2. In the groups retrofilled with the same material, the apical leakage in cavities prepared with ultrasonic micro endo tip (group III and IV) was less than that in cavities prepared with mini contra-angle and bur(group I and II), but not significant statistically(P>0.05). 3. When apical cavities were prepared with same instrument. the egroups retrofilled with silver glass ionomer cement(group II and IV) showed significantly less apical leakage than the groups retrofilled with amalgam(group I and III)(<0.01).

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effect of blood-and saliva-contamination during dentin pretreatment procedure on tensile bond strength, and to investigate the effect of contaminant-removing treatments on the recovery of bond strength of dentin bonding agents. Dentin specimens prepared from freshly extracted bovine mandibular anterior teeth were divided into non-contaminated control and contaminated experimental groups. The specimens of the contaminated group were contaminated with saliva or blood after etching or priming procedure, followed by contaminant-removing treatments. All the specimens were bonded with All Bond$^{(R)}$ 2 dentin bonding agent and Bisfil$^{TM}$ composite resin or Scotchbond$^{TM}$ Multipurpose and Z100. After all the bonded specimens were stored in $37^{\circ}C$ distilled water for 24 hours, tensile bond strengths were measured. The contaminated dentin and fractured dentin surfaces were examined under the scanning electron microscope. The results were as follows : Contaminated specimens showed lower bond strength than non-contaminated ones regardless of the kind of contaminant, contamination time and contaminant-removing treatments, except specimens which were acid-etched following saliva contamination after etching in All Bond$^{(R)}$ 2 groups (p<0.05). Blood contaminant resulted in much bond strength decrease than saliva ones (p<0.01), and contamination after priming resulted in much decrease in bond strength than after etching (p<0.01). Re-etching resulted in increase of bond strength in the specimens contaminated with saliva after etching but not in blood contaminated ones. Re-priming resulted in increase of bond strength in the specimens contaminated after priming regardless of the kind of contaminant.

Objective: To evaluate the overall treatment effects in terms of the amount of uprighting with changes in the sagittal and vertical positions of mandibular molars after applying an orthodontic miniplate with a nickel-titanium (NiTi) reverse curve arch wire (biocreative reverse curve [BRC] system). Methods: A total of 30 female patients (mean age, 25.99 ± 8.96 years) were treated with the BRC system (mean BRC time, 10.3 ± 4.07 months). An I-shaped C-tube miniplate (Jin Biomed) was placed at the labial aspect for the alveolar bone of the mandibular incisors. A 0.017 × 0.025-inch NiTi reverse curve arch wire was engaged at the C-tube mini-plate anteriorly and the first and second premolars and molars posteriorly in the mandibular arch. Pre- and post-BRC lateral cephalograms were analyzed. A paired t-test was used to analyze the treatment effects of BRC. Results: The mandibular second molars were intrusively uprighted successfully by the BRC system. Distal uprighting with a controlled vertical dimension was noted on the first molars when they remained engaged in the BRC and the distal ends of the arch wire were laid on the second molars. The mandibular first and second premolars showed a slight extrusion. The changes in the mandibular incisors were unremarkable, while the mandibular molar angulation improved significantly. The lower occlusal plane rotated counterclockwise (MP-LOP: 1.13° ± 2.60°). Conclusions: The BRC system can provide very effective molar uprighting without compromising the position of the mandibular anterior teeth.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of 5% lidocaine and 2.5% lidocaine/2.5% prilocaine topical anesthetic on pain during needle insertion and infiltration injection in the labial mucosa of anterior maxillary teeth, and to assess the relationship between patients' anxiety and pain scores. Materials and Methods: The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale questionnaire was applied and recorded. Patients were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 30), as follows: G1 group: 5% lidocaine and placebo for 1 minute, G2 group: 2.5% lidocaine/2.5% prilocaine and placebo for 1 minute, G3 group: 5% lidocaine and placebo for 3 minutes, and G4 group: 2.5% lidocaine/2.5% prilocaine and placebo for 3 minutes. Before the application of topical anesthesia, one side was randomly selected as the topical anesthesia and the contralateral side as the placebo. The pain levels were measured with Visual Analog Scale (VAS) immediately after needle insertion and injection and were compared. The correlation between anxiety and pain scores was analyzed. Results: Administration of 5% lidocaine for 1 minute had significantly higher pain scores for both insertion and infiltration injection than the other groups (p < 0.05). There was a significant moderate positive correlation between dental anxiety and the injection-induced VAS pain score in the placebo side in all groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Topical anesthetics significantly reduced the pain caused by both needle insertion and injection pain in comparison to the placebo side. The pain scores of patients with dental anxiety were lower on the topical anesthesia compared to the placebo side.

치외치는 교합면에 법랑질이 원추형으로 돌출되어 결절을 형성한 치아로서, 치아발육 중 법랑기의 내측법랑상피가 외부로 과증식되거나 치수 간엽조직이 국소적으로 과증식되어 나타난다. 교합력이나 저작에 의해 파절 또는 마모되기 쉬우며 따라서 이로 인하여 치수노출에 의한 감염이 야기될 수 있다. 상악 전치부 설면에도 원추형으로 돌출된 결절이 관찰되기도 하는데 이를 탈론 교두(talon cusp)라 한다. 치내치는 치아 발육 중 설측의 법랑상피가 일부 함입되어 설측에 깊은 소와가 형성된 형태로서 크기나 전체적인 모양은 정상이다. 방사선 사진상에서 치경부의 법랑질 일부가 함입되어 함입강을 형성하고 그 기저부는 치수에 가까이 위치하고 있어 치수와 개통되어 있을 가능성도 있다. 탈론 교두(talon cusp)와 치내치는 비교적 흔한 형태 이상이지만, 한 치아에 동시에 발생하는 경우는 매우 드물다. 이러한 환자에서 탈론 교두(talon cusp)가 교합력이나 저작에 의해 파절되거나, 교두 사이 열구가 우식에 이환되어 치수치료가 시행 될 때, 치내치의 복잡한 근관 형태로 인해 많은 어려움이 있다. 따라서 교합조정, 치면열구전색술 등의 예방적 처치와 주기적인 검진이 필요하고, 치수치료시 정확한 방사선학적 진단을 통한 치내치의 근관 형태 파악이 필요하다. 조선대학교 치과병원 소아치과에 내원한 10세 남아(하악 좌측 중절치)와 8세 여아(상악 우측 중절치) 그리고 7세 남아(상악 우측 중절치)에서 치내치를 동반한 탈론 교두(talon cusp)가 관찰되어 본 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 9세 남아와 8세 여아는 치수 병변으로 인해 치수 치료 중이고, 7세 남아는 병적 소견 없이 교합조정 후 관찰 중이다.

넓은 영역의 무치악 부위를 수복하기 위한 전통적인 방법은 의치를 이용한 치료다. 하지만, 임플란트를 활용할 경우 보철물의 안정과 유지, 그리고 지지의 측면에서 더 유리하며, 저작효율이 향상되는 등 기능적으로 더 양호한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 이 같은 임플란트를 이용한 치료방법은 크게 가철성과 고정성 방식으로 분류될 수 있으며, 치조골의 흡수정도, 악간관계, 환자의 선호도, 사회 경제적 요인 등을 고려하여 적절한 접근 방식을 선택하여야 한다. 한편, 지르코니아의 물성이 크게 개선됨에 따라, 임플란트 지지형 고정성 보철물의 재료로서 단일구조 지르코니아가 각광을 받고 있다. 단일구조 지르코니아는 지르코니아 코어에 세라믹을 비니어링 한 보철물이나 금속 도재관보다 파절과 chipping의 빈도가 적으며 지르코니아 자체가 충분한 두께를 가질 수 있어 구조적으로 좋은 물성을 지닐 수 있다. 최근에는 투명도가 증진된 단일구조 지르코니아도 출시되어, 전치부 보철물을 위한 재료로도 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 증례의 남환은 상악 양측 구치부의 결손 및 다수 잔존치의 중등도 이상의 전반적 만성 치주염 이환으로 인해, 하악 양측 견치 및 좌측 제1, 2 소구치를 제외한 모든 치아를 발치한 후, 상악 8개 및 하악 3개의 임플란트 식립을 동반한 전악 수복 치료를 받았다. 보철물 장착 후 1년 간의 경과 관찰 기간 동안 기능적, 심미적으로 만족할만한 결과를 얻어 이를 보고하는 바이다.
