PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to compare the fracture strength of the metal and the bond strength in metal-ceramic restorations produced by selective laser sintering (SLS) and by conventional casting (CAST). MATERIALS AND METHODS. Non-precious alloy (StarLoy C, DeguDent, Hanau, Germany) was used in CAST group and metal powder (SP2, EOS GmbH, Munich, Germany) in SLS group. Metal specimens in the form of sheets ($25.0{\times}3.0{\times}0.5mm$) were produced in accordance with ISO 9693:1999 standards (n=30). To measure the bond strength, ceramic was fired on a metal specimen and then three-point bending test was performed. In addition, the metal fracture strength was measured by continuing the application of the load. The values were statistically analyzed by performing independent t-tests (${\alpha}=.05$). RESULTS. The mean bond strength of the SLS group (50.60 MPa) was higher than that of the CAST group (46.29 MPa), but there was no statistically significant difference. The metal fracture strength of the SLS group (1087.2 MPa) was lower than that of the CAST group (2399.1 MPa), and this difference was statistically significant. CONCLUSION. In conclusion the balling phenomenon and the gap formation of the SLS process may increase the metal-ceramic bond strength.

Soldering is the usual method used to correct an unstable fixed partial denture framework at patient's try-in; However, presoldering base metal alloys is technique-sensitve and results are unstable because it is difficult to maintain uniform heat distribution and to prevent oxidation of an alloy. A cast-joining technique has been developed by Weiss and Munyon for repair, correction and addition to base metal framework. This joining technique eliminates the problem with presoldering of non-precious frameworks. The object of this study was to 1) compare the relative flexure strength and the joining effectiveness of Ni-Cr-Be cast in two pieces and 'pre-soldered' versus in two pieces and 'cast-joined'. 2) determine the effect of increasing the number of retentive grooves on the face of the cast and 3) determine the effect of the relative matched position of groove patterns on flexure strength. The joining effectiveness can be expressed by the ratio of the mean flexure stress of soldered or cast-joined specimens to that of one-piece cast. Resin rods 3mm in diameter were used as pattern of specimens for one-piece casted, presoldered, and cast-joined groups. Cast-joined specimens had two different patterns of retentive grooves on the joined faces. Type A had cross-shaped grooves 1mm in depth. 0.6mm in width. Type B was the same except for the addition of one more retentive groove. In the experiment connecting cast-joined specimens, half of specimens with type A pattern had their patterns on the faces of paired casts matched with each other as mirror image. With the rest pairs, it was proceeded that one of paired casts turned 45 degrees so that the patterns crossed. Half of specimens with type B pattern also had the patterns matched as mirror image; However, here, one of paired casts turned 90 degrees with the other pairs. Retentive groove in this study lacked the intentional undercuts, in contrast with the suggestion of Weiss and Munyon. The specimens were subjected to four-point flexural loading in an Instron testing machine. The midspan flexural stress was calculated at the point of initial plastic strain as determined from a strip-chart recorder or at the point of failure if this occured at a lower stress level. Within the scope of this study, the following results were obtained. 1. The presoldered group showed flexural strength at least 2 times higher than the cast-joined groups. Its joining effectiveness was 82%. 2. In cast-joined groups, the flexural strength of joints with type B patterns exhibited 1.5 times that of joints with type A patterns. Joining effectivenesses were 38% for type B patterns, 25-26% for type A patterns. 3. The relative matched position of groove patterns did not have any significant effect on flexural strength of the cast-joined specimens with either type A patterns or type B patterns(p>.05).

연구 목적: 증류수, 차아염소산나트륨 성분의 가정용 살균소독 표백제 그리고 국내에서 판매중인 세 가지 의치세정제의 세척 효과를 주사전자현미경적 관찰을 통해 상호 비교하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 부산대학교병원 치과보철과에서 총의치 또는 국소의치를 제작했거나 제작 중인 연구대상자 5명의 상, 하악 임시 의치 협면에 금속 원판 시편을 식립 하였다. 연구대상자로 하여금 48시간 동안 임시 의치를 장착하게 한 후 회수하여 다음과 같은 다섯 가지 (증류수, 차아염소산나트륨 희석용액, $Polident^{(R)}$, $Cleadent^{(R)}e$, $Bonyplus^{(R)}$) 중 하나의 세척 방법으로 실온에서 8시간 동안 세척하였다. 실험에는 직접 참가하지 않았으나 치과적 지식이 있는 10명의 panel을 구성하였고, panel은 한 부위에서 얻어졌으나 다섯 가지 서로 다른 방법으로 처리된 시편들의 세척도를 주사전자현미경 사진을 이용하여 평가하였으며, 깨끗한 순으로 1, 2, 3, 4, 5의 순위를 기록하게 하였다. 결과: 세척 효과는 차아염소산나트륨 희석용액, $Polident^{(R)}$, $Cleadent^{(R)}e$, $Bonyplus^{(R)}$, 증류수 순으로 우수하였으나 차아염소산나트륨 희석용액과 $Polident^{(R)}$, $Polident^{(R)}$와 $Cleadent^{(R)}e$ 그리고 $Bonyplus^{(R)}$와 증류수 사이에는 유의한 차이가 없었다 (P > .05). 차아염소산나트륨 희석용액으로 세척한 시편의 표면에서는 거의 모든 치태가 제거되었으나, 의치세정제의 경우에는 대부분 세척 후에도 잔류 치태를 관찰할 수 있었으며 축적된 치태가 두꺼울수록 남아있는 치태가 더 많았다. 차아염소산나트륨 희석용액 (0.08% 이상)은 비귀금속 시편의 표면 부식을 유발하였다. 결론: 적절한 화학적 세정제의 선택 사용은 신체장애가 있거나 고령인 의치 환자의 구강 위생 관리에 도움을 줄 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 그러나 알칼리성 과산화물 계열의 의치세정제의 경우 의치 세척 효과가 제한적이기 때문에 가능한 칫솔질과 병행하여 사용하는 것이 보다 바람직한 방법으로 생각된다.
