Statement of problem: A difficulty in achieving a passive-fitting prosthesis can be overcome by individual crown restoation of multiple implants. But individualized crown has another difficulty in control of contact tightness and stress distribution. Purpose: This in vitro study is to evaluate the stress distribution and the magnitude in the supporting tissues around Endopore implants with different crown lengths, interproximal contact tightness, and the splinting effects. Material & methods: Three Endopore implants($4.1{\times}9mm$) were placed in the mandibular posterior edentulous area distal to the canine and photoelastic model was made with PL-2 resin(Measurements Group, Raleigh, USA). Restorations were fabricated in two crown lengths: 9, 13 mm. For non-splinted restorations, individual crowns were fabricated on three custom-milled titanium abutments. After the units were cemented, 4 levels of interproximal contact tightness were evaluated: open, ideal($8{\mu}m$ shim stock drags without tearing), medium($40{\mu}m$), and heavy($80{\mu}m$). For splinted restorations, 3-unit fixed partial dentures were fabricated. This study was examined under simulated non-loaded and loaded conditions(6.8 kg). Photoelastic stress analysis was carried out to measure the fringe order around the implant supporting structure. Results: 1. When restorations were not splinted, the more interproximal contact tightness was increased among the three implants, the more stress was shown in the cervical region of each implant. When crown length was increased, stresses tended to increase in the apex of implants but there were little differences in stress fringes. 2. When nonsplinted restorations were loaded on the first or third implant, stresses were increased in the apex and cervical region of loaded implant. Regardless of interproximal contact tightness level, stresses were not distributed among the three implants. But with tighter interproximal contact, stresses were increased in the cervical region of loaded first or third implant. 3. When the nonsplinted restorations were not loaded, there were little stresses on the supporting structure of implants, but low level stresses were shown in the splinted restorations even after sectioning and soldering. 4. With splinted restorations, there were little differences in stresses between different crown lengths. When splinted restorations were loaded, stresses were increased slightly on the loaded implant, but relatively even stress distribution occurred among the three implants. Conclusions: Splinting the crowns of adjacent implants is recommended for Endopore implants under the overloading situation.

An ankle-foot orthosis(AFO) is a brace for persons with gait disabilities to support or replace the function of ankle joint. Ankle-foot orthoses(AFO's) are usually prescribed to alleviate the drop-foot by constraining the excessive plantar flexion. The shape and the strength of the AFO are often based on 'trial and error' due to a lack of knowledge of the stress distribution in the AFO. In this study, an improved stress-freezing method was proposed to measure the stress distribution characteristics in the AFO. As a result, a photoelastic material with low freezing temperature was developed to measure the stresses under a person's direct contact loading condition. The three-dimensional stress-1rozen photoelastic models of AFO's for five stages of stance phase such as heel contact, foot flat, mid stance, heel off, and toe off were produced. The results of photoelastic analysis revealed that the stresses developed in the AFO were varied considerably from tensile to compressive or vice versa, during walking. At the posterior part of ankle joint in the AFO, the maximum compressive stress of 1.81MPa was observed in the mid stance, and the maximum tensile stress of 0.74MPa was observed during heel contact. The overall stress levels in the AFO's were low in the toe off phase. The results suggested that the posterior part of ankle joint might be the most fragile part in the AFO.

광탄성법을 이용하여 인장하중을 받는 곡선보의 중앙에서 하중축과 직교하는 일직선상에 축방향 응력성분을 측정하였다. 광탄성 데이터의 정밀 측정을 위하여 영상처리 시스템을 이용, 원래의 프린지를 명시야 배열과 암시야 배열의 등색선프린지로부터 2배로 증식시키고 세선처리를 하였다. 세선처리된 광탄성 영상으로부터 1/4차수(N=0. 1/4, 2/4. 3/4. 1, 5/4...)마다 프린지 차수를 읽을 수 있으므로 정확한 위치에서 정량적인 측정이 가능하다. 광탄성 실험에서 곡선보의 인장 하중을 3종류로 변화하였을 때 이론식에 의한 응력분포와 일치하는 경향을 나타냈으나, 장탄성법에 의한 측정결과는 이론값과 8%이내의 차이가 나타났다. 이러한 원인은 광탄성 시험편 가공시 하중축과 치수가 이론식에 적용된 조건과 다소 상이한 것으로 판단되며, 정밀하게 가공된 시험편을 사용하여 측정할 경우 실험에 의한 오차는 감소될 것으로 추정된다. 이 실험으로부터 광탄성법에 의한 응력측정시 프린지 증식 및 세선처리 기법을 적용할 경우 정밀한 응력측정이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 TMA wire로 제작된 transpalatal lingual arch에 의한 골내 응력 분포를 파악하기 위하여 양측성 및 편측성 확장을 가하여 이때 발생하는 치아주위조직 응력 분포 양상을 광탄성 응력 해석법으로 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 양측성 확장시 수평 변형만 적용했을 때 탄선끝이 각진 경우 둥근 탄선끝을 적용한 경우보다 응력이 치근단으로 집중되며 회전 중심을 의미하는 흑색선이 변화하는 양태를 보였고 수직변형량이 증가되면서 전체적인 응력차수의 증가와 흑색선의 하방 이동 양상을 보였다. 2. 편측성 확장을 위해 수평 변형과 함께 확장측에만 수직 변형을 적용하였을 때 확장력이 확장측으로 편중되는 응력 분포를 관찰할수 있었다. 수직 변형량의 증가시 확장측 구치는 정출하는 응력을 보였고 수평변형량의 증가시 고정측 치아도 경사지려는 응력 분포가 관찰되었다. 3. 편측 구치의 회전을 개선하기 위해 철사끝을 비대칭적으로 toe-in한 경우 변형량이 적은 구치의 치근단 원심측에 응력 분포를 관찰할수 있었다. 4. 악궁 확장시 철사의 길이를 줄일수록 무늬차수가 증가하는 응력 분포를 보였다.

The osseointegrated implant conducts the stress directly to the bone due to lack of cushoning effect of periodontal ligament. So, the design and material quality of superstructure plays an important role in resolution and diffusion of stress. Recently, the various superstructures have been developed to improve esthetics and resolve various complicated conditions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress induced by various system on the osseointegrated implant using UCLA abutment, EsthetiCone abutment, Anatomic abutment as well as Branemark conventional abutment. The stress distribution was evaluated by the photoelastic method which can simultaneously observe all around stress distribution. The superstructures embedded in epoxy resin specimen were loaded at various angle with a force of 15Kg to analyse the stress distribution of the fixture. The results of this study were obtained as follows : 1. Under vertical loading, the large and broad stress was distributed below the fixture in all systems. 2. The fringe order of the stress was increased in proportion to tillting the specimen. The largest stress was shown in 25 angled degree tilting case. 3. The Branemark conventional abutment showed the lowest value, and EsthetiCone abutment, Anatomic abutment and UCLA abutment showed the stress value in accending order.

In many part of machines or structures that made of bimaterial bonded with two dissimilar materials, most failures occur at their interface. Therefore, the accurate analysis of fracture characteristics and the evaluation of mechanical strength for interfacial crack are essential when we design those structures. In this research, stress and displacement components in the vicinity of stationary interfacial crack tip in the two dissimilar isotropic bimaterials are established. Hereafter, the stress components established in this research can be applied to the photoelastic hybrid method which can be used to analyze the fracture behavior of the two dissimilar isotropic bimaterials.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the magnitude and distribution of stress using a photoelastic model from a unilateral distal extention removable partial dentures with five kinds of the direct retainers, that is, the bilaterally designed bar clasp of the cross-arch lingual bar and the unilaterally designed bar clasp, circumferential clasp, mini-Dalbo attachment, and telescope retainer. A photoelastic model for mandible was made of the epoxy resin(PL-1) and hardner (PLH-1) with the acrylic resin teeth used and was coated with plastic cement-1 at the lingual surface of the model, and then five kinds of removable partial dentures were set, A unilateral vertical load of about 16Kg was applied on the first molar and the stress pattern of the photoelastic model under each condition was analyzed by the reflective circular polariscope. The following results were obtained: 1. The conventional removable partial denture with the bilaterally cross arch lingual bar produced the most favorable stress distribution on the residual ridge and supporting structure of abutment teeth than the unilaterally designed removable partial dentures. 2. The unilaterally designed removable partial denture with the bar clasp produced the stress distribution on the residual ridge, except sligtly higher stress concentration on the supporting structure of the abutment teeth, similar to the conventional removable partial denture with the bilaterally designed cross arch lingual bar. 3. On the unilaterally designed removable partial dentures, the bar clasp produced greater stress distribution on the residual ridge and supporting structure of the abutment teeth than the circumferential clasp. 4. On the unilaterally designed removable partial dentures, the mimi-Dalbo attachment produced relatively higher stress concentration on the residual ridge, but produced lesser stress concentration on the supporting structure of the abutment teeth than the other direct retainers. 5. On the unilaterally designed removable partial dentures, the telescope retainer produced uniform stress distribution on the residual ridge, but produced higher stress concentration at the root apex of the terminal abutment tooth than the other direct retainers. 6. On the unilaterally designed removable partial dentures the circumferential clasp and telescope retainer produced slightly higher stress concentration on the residual ridge and supporting structure of the abutment teeth than the bar clasp and mini- Dalbo attachment.
