This study synthesized poly-urea and used it as a filler material for the restoration of porcelain. The synthesized poly-urea was manufactured as a resin and hardener mix that does not undergo contraction during curing, and is unfading. Given an adhesion strength of $180kg/cm^2$ and shearing strength of $200kg/cm^2$, the synthesized poly-urea exhibited the same efficacy as the epoxy putty currently sold in the market. Moreover, it also overcame the drawback of foaming encountered by urethane restoratives, which are a structurally similar type. The hardening time and pot life could also be controlled using additives. The poly-urea used for the restoration of modern artifacts presented a pot life of approximately one hour and took 12 h for complete hardening ($T_{90}$). When a $2{\times}2{\times}2cm$-sized test sample was added to xylene, poly-urea started to separate approximately two hours later and completed perfect pulverization within the solution 24 h later, demonstrating its reversibility. When directly applied to contemporary artifacts, it demonstrated the potential for restoration, as well as convenience and colorfulness.

동통조절을 위해 국소마취제는 치과임상에서 광범위하게 사용되어진다. 가장 널리 쓰이는 국소마취제는 리도카인이고 이는 마취효과의 지속 및 지혈효과 등의 목적으로 혈관수축제를 포함하고 있다. 대표적 혈관수축제인 에피네프린은 임상에서 1:300,000에서부터 1:50,000의 농도로 다양하게 사용되어진다. 수복치료를 위해서는 통상적으로 1:100.000농도의 에피네프린이 사용되고 있고 외과적 근관치료시 지혈효과를 위해서는 1:50,000농도의 에피네프린이 추천되고 있다. 이들 농도의 에피네프린을 포함한 리도카인으로 국소마취시 에피네프린의 농도가 치수의 혈류 및 치은의 혈류에 미치는 영향을 이해할 필요가 있고 그 영향이 전기치수검사에 대한 치수의 반응성에 미치는 영향도 이해할 필요가 있다. 따라서 혈관수축제를 포함한 국소마취제에 의한 치수혈류의 변화와 치수신경의 반응성을 이해하는 것은 중요하다 하겠다. 본 연구의 목적은 두 가지 농도의 에피네프린을 포함한 국소마취제로 마취시 나타나는 치수 및 치은의 혈류 변화를 치수신경의 반응성과 비교, 관찰함으로써 국소마취제가 치수 및 치은에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 함에 있다. 24세에서 27세까지의 10명의 피검자의 건전한 상악중절치를 시험에 이용하였다. Laser Doppler flowmeter의 probe을 고정하기 위한 splint를 간접법으로 인상용 putty를 이용하여 제작하고 치수 및 치은의 혈류량, 그리고 전기치수검사에 대한 반응성을 측정하기 위한 3개의 구멍을 만들었다. 피검자를 10분간 안정시킨 후 마취 전 10분간 정상 혈류량과 전기검사치를 측정하고 1:50,000 epinephrine과 1:100,00 epinephrine이 각각 함유된 2% 리도카인 용액 0.9 ml를 상악 좌측 중절치 치근단부위 협점막에 침윤마취하였다. 마취 후 70분간 치수 및 치은 혈류량을 laser Doppler flowmeter를 이용해 연속적으로 측정하여 그 수치를 컴퓨터에 저장하였고, 매 5분 간격으로 전기치수검사를 시행하여 그 측정치를 기록하였다. 매 시간 간격의 평균 혈류량을 정상 혈류량에 대한 백분율로 나타내고, 각각의 농도에서 최소 치수 및 치은 혈류량을 Paired t-test, Wilcoxon's signed rank test. Duncan's multiple range test. Fisher's exact test등을 이용. 통계분석 하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 에피네프린이 함유되어 있지 않은 리도카인을 협점막에 주사시 혈류변화가 거의 나타나지 않았으나 1:50,000 및 1:100.000 에피네프린이 함유된 2% 리도카인을 협점막에 침윤마취시 치수 및 치은 혈류 공히 현저히 감소하였다(p<0.01). 1:50,000 에피네프린군은 1:100,000 에피네프린군에 비해 치수 혈류량이 현저히 억제되어 나타났으나(p<0.01), 치은 혈류량에서는 유의성 있는 차이를 나타내지 않았다(p>0.05). 두 농도의 에피네프린 군 공히 치은혈류는 치수혈류에 비해 유의하게 많은 감소를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 1:100,000 에피네프린 군에서 마취액 주입 후 치수혈류 최대감소가 가장 먼저 나타났고 이어서 전기검사에 대한 치수의 반응성 소실 및 치은혈류 최대 감소의 순으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 1:50,000 에피네프린군의 경우가 1:100,000 에피네프린군의 경우에 비해 마취지속시간이 길게 나타났으나 유의성은 없었다(p>0.05).

In this study, we synthesized rosin-based epoxy resin and manufactured two components adhesives and epoxy putty using this epoxy resin. This study manufactured main element of adhesives for enabling it to form epoxide group by letting epichlorohydrin react to maleic anhydride modified rosin, and used room temperature curing type triethylenetetramine for hardener. The ratio between main element and hardener of of manufactured adhesives was 100 : 20, and main element and hardener of filling material were manufactured as clay type by mixing them with filler. Manufactured undiluted adhesives and filling material showed very stable result in the adhesive strength (3.06 MPa) and ultraviolet irradiation, showing outstanding result comparing to existing restoration adhesives. And it is considered a material having reversibility as it was dissolved in organic solvents such as acetone and toluene after being hardened, which showed a result that solved part of possible problems caused by restoration. As a result of use and application of manufactured adhesives and filling material for actual wood crafts, they showed excellent results in workability, stability, removability etc., and this study confirmed that the material can be used for and applied to various fields.

A C-46 transport aircraft, which can be thought of as a large cultural heritage item from the modern period, was subjected to paint analysis and conservation treatment in preparation for its exhibition. The C-46 is the first aircraft ever dispatched to overseas combat zones by the Korean Air Force and carried out missions during the Vietnam War. The aircraft is mainly made of aluminum and shows signs of corrosion on its surface, including pitting and etching, as well as gray and white powdery attachments. In the analysis of the paint, diatomite(SiO₂·nH₂O) was confirmed in the red paint, titanium dioxide(TiO₂) was identified in the white paint, black iron oxide(Fe₃O₄) was detected in the black paint, and colcothar(Fe₃O₄) mixed with putty was confirmed in the blue paint. Infrared spectroscopy revealed the use of alkyd resin in the paint on the main body and nitrocellulose in the Taegeuk pattern. During the conservation treatment, mechanical cleaning, such as sanding, was conducted to remove paint and varnish from the surface. Corrosion was removed by sanding and cleaning with chemical solvents, and new paints and varnishes were applied. Through the paint analysis and conservation treatment, the aircraft was made available for exhibition in a stable condition.

We present the case of a 65-year-old man with maxillary and mandibular complete dentures prepared using neutral zone technique after undergoing mandibulotomy due to tonsil cancer 10 years ago. The patient had a short edentulous period; hence, there was minimal absorption of the alveolar ridge and no abnormality in the motor function of the tongue. However, the retromolar pad was located inside the hamular notch, and the posterior alveolar ridge was relatively turned inward. If the artificial teeth would have been aligned conventionally, the functional space of the tongue would have been invaded, which would have moved the tongue posteriorly thereby reducing the stability of the denture. Therefore, applying the concept of the neutral zone can be a good reference point in such cases. The neutral zone was registered using tissue conditioner, and tooth alignment was performed by making a silicone putty index. The biggest advantage of using neutral zone concept is denture stability. In this case, the neutral zone technique was applied to obtain the lingual alignment limit of the posterior teeth to avoid invasion of the tongue space by the left posterior part of the mandible. Particularly, in case of a patient in which denture stability is difficult to obtain due to absorption of the alveolar ridge, it is believed that better results can be obtained using neutral zone technique.
