PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of provisional cement removal by different dentin cleaning protocols (dental explorer, pumice, cleaning bur, Er:YAG laser) on the shear bond strength between ceramic and dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS. In total, 36 caries-free unrestored human third molars were selected as tooth specimens. Provisional restorations were fabricated and cemented with eugenol-free provisional cement. Then, disc-shaped ceramic specimens were fabricated and randomly assigned to four groups of dentin cleaning protocols (n = 9). Group 1 (control): Provisional cements were mechanically removed with a dental explorer. Group 2: The dentin surfaces were treated with a cleaning brush with pumice Group 3: The dentin surfaces were treated with a cleaning bur. Group 4: The provisional cements were removed by an Er:YAG laser. Self-adhesive luting cement was used to bond ceramic discs to dentin surfaces. Shear bond strength (SBS) was measured using a universal testing machine at a 0.05 mm/min crosshead speed. The data were analyzed using a Kolmogorov Smirnov, One-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests to perform multiple comparisons (${\alpha}$=0.05). RESULTS. The dentin cleaning methods did not significantly affect the SBS of ceramic discs to dentin as follows: dental explorer, pumice, cleaning bur, and Er:YAG laser. CONCLUSION. The use of different cleaning protocols did not affect the SBS between dentin and ceramic surfaces.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate various core designs on stress distribution within zirconia crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Three-dimensional finite element models, representing mandibular molars, comprising a prepared tooth, cement layer, zirconia core, and veneer porcelain were designed by computer software. The shoulder (1 mm in width) variations in core were incremental increases of 1 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm in proximal and lingual height, and buccal height respectively. To simulate masticatory force, loads of 280 N were applied from three directions (vertical, at a $45^{\circ}$ angle, and horizontal). To simulate maximum bite force, a load of 700 N was applied vertically to the crowns. Maximum principal stress (MPS) was determined for each model, loading condition, and position. RESULTS. In the maximum bite force simulation test, the MPSs on all crowns observed around the shoulder region and loading points. The compressive stresses were located in the shoulder region of the veneer-zirconia interface and at the occlusal region. In the test simulating masticatory force, the MPS was concentrated around the loading points, and the compressive stresses were located at the 3 mm height lingual shoulder region, when the load was applied horizontally. MPS increased in the shoulder region as the shoulder height increased. CONCLUSION. This study suggested that reinforced shoulder play an essential role in the success of the zirconia restoration, and veneer fracture due to occlusal loading can be prevented by proper core design, such as shoulder.

Objectives: This study evaluated the influence of a multi-mode universal adhesive (MUA) containing silane (Single Bond Universal, 3M EPSE) on the bonding of resin cement to lithium disilicate. Materials and Methods: Thirty IPS e.max CAD specimens (Ivoclar Vivadent) were fabricated. The surfaces were treated as follows: Group A, adhesive that did not contain silane (ANS, Porcelain Bonding Resin, Bisco); Group B, silane (S) and ANS; Group C, hydrofluoric acid (HF), S, and ANS; Group D, MUA; Group E, HF and MUA. Dual-cure resin cement (NX3, Kerr) was applied and composite resin cylinders of 0.8 mm in diameter were placed on it before light polymerization. Bonded specimens were stored in water for 24 hours or underwent a 10,000 thermocycling process prior to microshear bond strength testing. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (p < 0.05). Results: Bond strength varied significantly among the groups (p < 0.05), except for Groups A and D. Group C showed the highest initial bond strength ($27.1{\pm}6.9MPa$), followed by Group E, Group B, Group D, and Group A. Thermocycling significantly reduced bond strength in Groups B, C, and E (p < 0.05). Bond strength in Group C was the highest regardless of the storage conditions (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Surface treatment of lithium disilicate using HF and silane increased the bond strength of resin cement. However, after thermocycling, the silane in MUA did not help achieve durable bond strength between lithium disilicate and resin cement, even when HF was applied.

PURPOSE. The aim of the present randomized controlled study was to compare prefabricated all-ceramic, anatomically shaped healing abutments followed by all-ceramic abutments and all-ceramic crowns and prefabricated standard-shaped (round-diameter) titanium healing abutments followed by final titanium abutments restored with porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) implant crowns in the premolar and molar regions. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Forty-two patients received single implants restored either by all-ceramic restorations (test group, healing abutment, final abutment, and crown all made of zirconia) or conventional titanium-based restorations. Immediately after prosthetic incorporation and after 12 months of loading, implant survival, technical complications, bone loss, sulcus fluid flow rate (SFFR) as well as plaque index (PI) and implant stability (Periotest) were analyzed clinically and radiologically. RESULTS. After 12 months of loading, an implant and prosthetic survival rate of 100% was observed. Minor prosthetic complications such as chipping of ceramic veneering occurred in both groups. No statistical significant differences were observed between both groups with only a minimum of bone loss, SFFR, and PI. CONCLUSION. All-ceramic implant prostheses including a prefabricated anatomically shaped healing abutment achieved comparable results to titanium-based restorations in the posterior region. However, observational results indicate a benefit as shaping the peri-implant soft-tissue with successive provisional devices and subsequent compression of the soft tissue can be avoided.

1990년대 말부터 치과보철 수복에 응용된 초창기 지르코니아는 코핑 형태로 사용되었다. 이렇게 만들어진 보철 수복물은 기존의 다른 심미 금속 수복물의 구조물이나 프레임 역할을 하는 금속이 없어서 자연스러움이 필요한 전치부에 성공적으로 사용되었으나 구치부에서는 기능중에 상부 비니어링 포세린의 파절로 그 사용에 한계가 있었다. 그후 여기에 대한 해결 방안으로 강한 코핑 재료를 전체 보철물의 형태로 제작하는 단일구조 지르코니아 수복물이 제안되었다. 이것은 강한 힘에 대한 저항은 뛰어나지만 매우 희고 불투명한 지르코니아의 특성상 조금은 비심미적인 결과를 나타내었다. 그러나, 현재는 지르코니아의 투명도를 높이는 기술적인 진보로 구치부뿐만 아니라 전치부에서 강하면서도 심미적인 지르코니아 수복물 제작이 가능하게 되었다. 이 논문에서는 지금까지 개발된 여러 종류의 지르코니아 재료의 구조적 특징을 알고 실제로 사용하고 있는 지르코니아 제품이 어디에 속하는지 설명한다.

분청사기는 조선초기에 고려상감청자의 무늬가 간소화 된 상태로 시작되었다. 그 후 200여 년 동안에 다양하고 활달한 문양의 민속공예로 발달하였고, 점점 백자를 닮아가는 방향으로 변해가다가, 임진왜란이후에 생산이 중단되었다. 이 논문에서는 분청의 태토와 유약에 대한 화학조성을 분석하고, 여러 도요지들의 결과들을 서로 비교하였다. 또한 다른 논문들에서 중국의 경우와 비교 관찰된 고려청자와 조선백자들에 대한 결과들과 비교 하였다. 생산도요지와 고고학적인 특성에 의하여 28 그룹으로 나누었으며, 각 각의 그룹에서 셋에서 다섯편의 도편을 분석하고, 그들의 평균값을 비교자료로 사용하였다. 분청태토는 한국청자와 백자와 같이 중국 남쪽의 월주요, 경덕진요에서 사용된 운모-석영계의 도석으로 만들어졌다. 유약은 점토질의 원료에 나무재, 태운 석회석과 곱게 빻은 석회가루를 다양한 비율로 혼합되었다. 분청유약의 특성은 조선백자보다는 고려청자와 고려백자에 더 가깝다. 다만 티타늄산화물의 함량은 조선백자와 같이 낮은데, 그 이유는 글래이즈 스톤으로 알려진 도석계의 점토가 분청유약을 제조 하는데 혼합 되었기 때문으로 추정된다. 이 연구의 체계적인 비교방법과 물질적 특성에 대한 내용들은 현재 빠른 속도로 발굴되고 있는 도요지들에 대해서 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

Statement of problem. Porcelain repair mainly involves replacement with composite resin, but the bond strength between composite resin and all-ceramic coping materials has not been studies extensively. Purpose. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of composite resin and ceramic etching pattern on shear bond strength of Empress2 ceramic and observe the change of microstructure of ceramic according to etching methods. Material and methods. Eighty-five cylinder shape ceramic specimens (diameter 5mm, IPS Empress 2 core materials) embeded by acrylic resin were used for this study. The ceramic were specimens divided into sixteen experimental groups with 5 specimens in each group and were etched with phosphoric acid(37%, 65%) & hydrofluoric acid (4%, 9%) according to different etching times(30s, 60s, 120s 180s). All etched ceramic surfaces were examined morphologically using SEM(scanning electron microscopy). Etched surfaces of ceramic specimens were coated with silane (Monobond-S) & adhesive(Heliobond) and built up composite resin using Teflon mold. Accomplished specimens were tested under shear loading until fracture on universal testing machine at a crosshead speed 1mm/min; the maximum load at fracture(kg) was recorded. Shear bond strength data were analyzed with one way ANOVA and Duncan tests.(P<.05) Results. Maximum shear bond strength was $30.07{\pm}2.41(kg)$ when the ceramic was etched with 4% hydrofluoric acid at 120s. No significant difference was found between phosphoric etchant group and control group with respect to shear bond strength. Conclusion. Empress 2 ceramic surface was not etched by phosphoric acid, but etched by hydrofluoric acid.

PURPOSE. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical acceptability of all-ceramic crowns fabricated by the digital veneering method vis-$\grave{a}$-vis the traditional method. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Zirconia specimens manufactures by two different manufacturing method, conventional vs digital veneering, with three different thickness (0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm) were prepared for analysis. Color measurement was performed using a spectrophotometer for the prepared specimens. The differences in shade in relation to the build-up method were calculated by quantifying ${\Delta}E^*$ (mean color difference), with the use of color difference equations representing the distance from the measured values $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$, to the three-dimensional space of two colors. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) combined with a Tukey multiple-range test was used to analyze the data (${\alpha}$=0.05). RESULTS. In comparing means and standard deviations of $L^*$, $a^*$*, and $b^*$ color values there was no significant difference by the manufacturing method and zirconia core thickness according to a two-way ANOVA. The color differences between two manufacturing methods were in a clinically acceptable range less than or equal to 3.7 in all the specimens. CONCLUSION. Based on the results of this study, a carefully consideration is necessary while selecting upper porcelain materials, even if it is performed on a small scale. However, because the color reproducibility of the digital veneering system was within the clinically acceptable range when comparing with conventional layering system, it was possible to estimate the possibility of successful aesthetic prostheses in the latest technology.

문화재 보존처리는 손상된 문화재의 수명을 연장하고 그 가치를 재조명하는 실질적 수단으로서 높이 평가 받고 있다. 그러나 보존처리 과정은 대부분 보존처리자의 경험과 기술에 의한 수작업에 의존하고 있어 이에 따르는 많은 시간과 노력이 요구된다. 최근에는 문화재의 재질 특성과 형상에 따라 보다 정확하고 손쉽게 보존처리를 진행할 수 있는 방법을 채용할 수 있게 되었다. 즉, 지금까지 수작업으로 이루어지는 보존처리과정을 3D 프린터를 이용하여 컴퓨터상에서 구현된 입체 형상 데이터를 실물로 출력하는 방법을 이용하는 것이다. 먼저 문화재의 결손 부분을 컴퓨터상의 데이터로 구축한 다음 3D 프린터로 출력하여 결손 부분을 손쉽게 성형 및 가공 과정을 거치는 것이다. 3D 프린터 적용결과 반복적인 출력 및 디지털데이터의 형태 및 수치 조정이 가능하였으며, 다양한 소재를 활용한 여러 가지 복원재료로 부터 시험출력을 통하여 문화재 복원의 완성도를 향상시킬 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 도자기 결손부분 복원을 위한 3D 프린터 적용 시험을 위하여 현대 재현품인 청자칠보무늬향로와 차륜식토기 2점을 인위적으로 파손시켰다. 복원결과 수작업에 비해 작업시간 단축 및 정확한 형태의 재현 등에서는 좋은 효과를 나타내었다. 반면 정밀한 접합 및 표면 질감을 생생하게 표현하기 위해서는 약간의 2차적인 수작업이 필요하였다.

연구목적: 치과 영역에서 환자들의 심미적인 요구가 증가하면서 자연 치아의 색조를 재현할 수 있는 수복물의 개발이 이루어졌으며, 이러한 연구의 일환으로 도재와 복합레진의 특성을 겸비한 Ceromer(Ceramic Optimized Polymer)가 개발되었다. Ceromer는 기존의 복합레진에 무기질을 고밀도로 충전하여 물리적 성질을 향상시켰다. 연구 재료 및 방법:본 실험에서는 두 종류의 Ceromer[$Targis^{(R)}$(Ivoclar-vivadent AG., Schaan, Liechtenstein), $BelleGlass^{(R)}$(Kerr Co., Orange, CA, USA)]를 이용해 레진 전장관 형태의 시편을 제작하고 증류수에 침전한 후 발생하는 체적과 중량의 변화를 관찰하였다. 결과 및 결론:두 종류의 Ceromer 모두 수중 침적 시간이 증가할수록 높이와 폭이 증가되었으며, $Targis^{(R)}$보다 $BelleGlass^{(R)}$에서 더 큰 누적변화율을 보였다. 72시간까지 급격한 증가를 보이다 이후 누적변화율의 증가는 감소하였다. 통계적 분석결과 $Targis^{(R)}$의 높이와 무게의 누적 변화량이 24시간군과 나머지군 사이에 유의한 차이를 보였으며, $BelleGlass^{(R)}$에서는 폭과 무게에서 누적 변화량이 24시간군과 나머지군 사이에 유의한 차이를 보였다(<.05). $Targis^{(R)}$와 $BelleGlass^{(R)}$ 두 군간의 비교에서는 높이, 폭, 무게의 변화량은 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나 변화양상은 다르게 관찰되었다.
