The author studied the actual conditions on the production of dental prosthesis made in laboratories, and also studied interrelationships between dentists and laboratory technicians in both personal and technical aspects. Two hundred-eighty four technicians, work in dental laboratories presently, were surveyed via mail and direct contact during the period from June 1 to June 30 and August 27 to August 28 in 1994 respectively. The obtained results were as follows : 1. Among the respondents, 90.5% we re working in commercial dental laboratories and their laboratories were mainly located in the Seoul area(40.9%, P<0.05). The numbers of employees in these laboratories were less than 10 persons(70.0%, P<0.01), and 75.9% of these laboratories have been in operation less than 15 years. 2. Most laboratory procedures were accomplished according to established disciplines. However, procedures such as die trimming in fixed restorations and the qualifications of the people designing removable partial dentures were not. Other problem areas were boxing of the working cast, the person determining the posterior palatal seal area, selection and arrangement of artificial teeth, occlusion rim correction and laboratory remounting of the processed denture in complete denture restorations. 3. Only half of the requesting dentists could send work authorizations to the laboratories with their work and even so, its contents were quite lacking. Consequently, there must be some standards in writing work authorization. 4. Technicians most desired clean and accurate impressions in fixed and removable dentures, and enough tooth reduction in porcelain fused to metal restorations. 5. For the establishment of better relationships between dentist and dental technician, the respondents desired the establishment of equal footing first(33.5%), and frequent conversations and muture understanding second(25.9%).

The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of positive patch test reaction to dental materials in patients with oral mucosal diseases. Epicutaneous patch test was performed in 110 patients with oral mucosal diseases; 41 patients with oral lichen planus(OLP), 44 patients with burning mouth syndrome(BMS), 25 patients with other oral mucosal diseases including recurrent aphthous ulcer and mucous membrane pemphigoid. The obtained results were as follows: Oral gold restorations were most common in patents with oral mucosal diseases and porcelain fused metal crown, implant appeared in the order. 33 of 110 patients did not appear skin reactions (negative, 30%) and 77 patients (positive, 70%) had skin reactions including redness, rash, blisters. Dental materials causing positive reaction to patch test were mainly as gold-sodium-thiosulfate (26.7%), nickel sulfate(Ni) (22.7%), cobalt chloride(Co) (14.7%), palladium chloride(Pd) (11.9%), potassium dichromate (10.7%) in order, respectively. In conclusion, old metal restorations could be the cause of oral mucosal diseases and epicutaneous patch test could be used as a tool to improve the oral conditions.

FRC/ceromer system provides the clinician with a durable, flexible, and esthetic alternative to conventional porcelain fused to metal crowns. FRC is the matrix which is silica-coated and embedded in a resin matrix. The ceromer material which is a second generation indirect composite resin contains silanized, microhybrid inorganic fillers embedded in a light-curing organic matrix. FRC/ceromer restoration has a several advantages: better shock absorption, less wear of occluding teeth, translucency, color stability, bonding ability to dental hard tissues, and resiliency. It has versatility of use including inlay, onlay, single crown, and esthetic veneers. With adhesive technique, it can be used for single tooth replacement in forms of inlay adhesion bridge. In single tooth missing case, conventional PFM bridge has been used for esthetic restoration. However, this restoration has several disadvantages such as high cost, potential framework distortion during fabrication, and difficulty in repairing fractures. Inlay adhesion bridge with FRC/ceromer would be a good alternative treatment plan. This article describes a cases restored with Targis/Vectris inlay adhesion bridge. Tooth preparation guide, fabrication procedure, and cementation procedure of this system will be dealt. The strength/weakness of this restoration will be mentioned, also. If it has been used appropriately in carefully selected case, it can satisfy not only dentist's demand of sparing dental hard tissue but also patient's desire of seeking a esthetic restorations with a natural appearance.

치과에서 수복물제작에는 지난 50년간 금속을 이용한 금속도재관이 많이 사용되어 왔다. 그러다 보니 심미적이고 생체 친화적이며 금속 알러지등의 문제로 인한 환자들의 사고의 변화에 따라서 'metal free restoration'에 대한 관심이 점점 높아지고 있다. 특히 그 동안 많이 사용되어왔던 귀금속 가격이 급등하여 더 이상 구강 내 수복 물로써 제 역할을 하는 것은 불가능하게 되었으며, PFM수복은 술자로 하여금 chipping과 파절로 인한 문제점을 안고 있다. 따라서 구치부 임플란트 수복물로써 보다 심미적이고 강도가 높은 재료의 요구로 인하여 그 어느 때보다 CAD/CAM이 주목을 받고 있다. Full zirconia 수복을 위해서 고려해야 할 사항은 1. 강도 2. 콤비네이션 작업은? 3. 빛 투과성은? 4. crack이 발생한 경우의 처치는? 5. 블럭의 색조 재현상은? 6. 대합치 마모도 7. 저온 열화 현상 등을 들 수가 있는데, 본 연구에서는 블럭의 색조 재현상에 대해서 정리하고자 한다. Full zirconia 수복을 꺼려하는 가장 커다란 이유 중에 하나가 바로 기존의 PFM 수복과 비교했을 때 자연스러운 색조를 재현하기가 어렵다는 점이며, 교합 조정 후에 컬러링한 표면이 삭제된 후 나타나는 보기 싫은 블럭의 노출로 인하여 많은 임상가들이 꺼려하고 있다. 지르코잔의 블럭을 약 4년 여 동안 사용하면서 이러한 점들은 어느 정도 극복되어질 수 있는 문제라고 여겨지며, 어떻게 하면 그 가급적 주변 보철물 또는 자연 치아와의 조화 이룰 수 있는 수복물을 만들 수 있을 것인가에 관해 정리였다.

All-ceramic restorations have become an attractive alternative to porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns. In-Ceram, and more recently IPS Empress 2 were introduced as a new all-ceramic system for single crowns and 3-unit fixed partial dentures. But their strength and marginal fit are still an important issue. This study evaluated the fracture resistance and marginal fit of three systems of 3 unit all-ceramic bridge fabricated on prepared maxillary anterior resin teeth in vitro. The 3 all-ceramic bridge systems were: (1) a glass-infiltrated, sintered alumina system (In-Ceram) fabricated conventionally, (2) the same system with copy-milled alumina cores (copy-milled In-Ceram), (3) a heat pressed, lithium disilicate reinforced glass-ceramic system (IPS Empress 2). Ten bridges of each system with standardized design of framework were fabricated. All specimens of each system were compressed at $55^{\circ}$ at the palatal surface of pontic until catastrophic fracture occurred. Another seven bridges of each system were fabricated with standard method. All of the bridge-die complexes were embedded in epoxy resin and sectioned buccolingually and mesiodistally. The absolute marginal discrepancy was measured with stereomicroscope at ${\times}50$ power. The following results were obtained: 1. There was no significant difference in the fracture strength among the 3 systems studied. 2. The Weibull modulus of copy-milled In-Ceram was higher than that of In-Ceram and IPS Empress 2 bridges. 3. Copy-milled In-Ceram($112{\mu}m$) exhibited significantly greater marginal discrepancy than In Ceram ($97{\mu}m$), and IPS Empress 2 ($94{\mu}m$) at P=0.05. 4. The lingual surfaces of the ceramic crowns showed smaller marginal discrepancies than mesial and distal points. There was no significant difference between teeth (incisor, canine) at P=0.05. 5. All-ceramic bridges of three systems appeared to exhibit sufficient initial strength and accept able marginal fit values to allow clinical application.
