Objectives: The internal adaptation of composite restorations with or without resin modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) was analyzed non-destructively using Microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). Materials and Methods: Thirty intact human teeth were used. The specimens were divided into 3 groups. In the control group, the cavities were etched with 10% phosphoric acid for 15 sec. Composite resin was filled into the cavity without adhesive. In group 1, light cured glass ionomer cement (GIC, Fuji II LC, GC) was applied as a base. The cavities were then etched, bonded, light cured and filled with composites. In group 2, the cavities were then etched, bonded, light cured and filled with composites without base application. They were immersed in a 25% silver nitrate solution. Micro-CT was performed before and after mechanical loading. One-way ANOVA with Duncan analysis was used to compare the internal adaptation between the groups before or after loading. A paired t-test was used to compare internal adaptation before and after mechanical loading. All statistical inferences were made within the 95% confidence interval. Results: The silver nitrate solution successfully penetrated into the dentinal tubules from the pulp spaces, and infiltrated into the gap between restoration and pulpal floor. Group 2 showed a lower adaptation than the control group and group 1 (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the control group and group 1. For all groups, there was a significant difference between before and after mechanical loading (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The internal adaptation before and after loading was better when composites were bonded to tooth using adhesive than composites based with RMGIC.

Purpose: Cention N (Ivoclar Vivadent) was a recently introduced alkasite-based restorative material that was expected to replace amalgam and glass ionomer cement. This material was an esthetic restoration with adequate mechanical strength and release of fluoride and calcium. The purpose of this study was to measure the water sorption and water solubility of Cention N and evaluate its long-term durability compared to other esthetic restorations (Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer cement [RMGIC], Giomer, Composite Resin). Materials and Methods: Twenty specimens each of Cention N (CN), Resin Modified-Glass Ionomer Cement (FJ), Giomer (BF), and Composite Resin (FZ) were made. After each specimen was completely dried in a desiccator for 24 hours using a vacuum pressure pump, the specimen was weighed (m1). After that, the specimen was immersed in distilled water at 37℃ for 7 days, stored in a drying oven, and weighed (m2). After drying completely for 24 hours in a desiccator, the specimen was weighed (m3) to calculate the water absorption and water solubility using Formulas 1 and 2. The measured values were statistically processed and analyzed using SPSS, and the significance level was set at 0.05. Result: When measuring water sorption, FJ (122.61 ㎍/mm³) showed significantly higher water sorption than CN (35.42 ㎍/mm³) (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between FZ (18.03 ㎍/mm³) and BF (14.76 ㎍/mm³) (P=0.930). When measuring water solubility, CN (6.65 ㎍/mm³) showed significantly higher water solubility than FJ (1.47 ㎍/mm³) (P<0.05). Conclusion: Cention N had lower water sorption than RMGIC, but higher water solubility, indicating that it is more vulnerable to moisture and has lessened long-term durability.

PURPOSE. To evaluate the sealing performance of Hybrid Coat and its influence on the shear bond strength of five dentin surface cements. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Six premolars were pretreated to expose the dentin surface prior to the application of Hybrid Coat. The microscopic characteristics of the dentinal surfaces were examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Then, 40 premolars were sectioned longitudinally, and 80 semi-sections were divided into a control group (untreated) and a study group (treated by Hybrid Coat). Alloy restoration was bonded to the teeth specimen using five different cements. Shear bond strength was measured by the universal testing machine. The fracture patterns and the adhesive interface were observed using a stereomicroscope. RESULTS. SEM revealed that the lumens of dentinal tubules were completely occluded by Hybrid Coat. The Hybrid Coat significantly improved the shear bond strength of resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) and resin cement (RC) but weakened the performance of zinc phosphate cement (ZPC), zinc polycarboxylate cement (ZPCC) and glass ionomer cement (GIC). CONCLUSION. Hybrid Coat is an effective dentinal tubule sealant, and therefore its combined use with resin or resin-modified glass ionomer cements can be applied for the prostheses attachment purpose.

이 연구의 목적은 광중합형 글래스아이오노머인 Fuji II $LC^{TM}$를 대조군으로 삼고 다양한 비율의 나노 하이드록시아파타이트(HA ; hydroxyapatite)를 첨가하여 최적의 물성을 나타내는 HA의 첨가비율을 알아보는 것이다. 각각 무게비로 5~30%의 나노 HA를 첨가하여 HA-5, HA-10, HA-15, HA-20, HA-25, HA-30의 여섯 개의 실험군을 설정하였으며 ISO 9917-2:2004 기본 규정에 따른 물리적 성질과 탈회저항성, 결합강도 실험을 시행하고 주사전자 현미경을 통해 탈회양상과 파절 양상을 관찰하였다. 결합강도 실험 결과 HA의 함량이 증가하면서 결합강도는 증가하여 HA-15 군에서 최대치를 기록하였다(p < 0.05). 탈회 저항성 실험으로 4일간의 탈회 후 CLSM을 이용하여 탈회면을 관찰한 결과, HA 첨가군에서 탈회 구간의 감소가 나타났으나 HA의 첨가량에 따른 유의한 차이는 없었다. 주사전자현미경 상에서 탈회면을 관찰한 결과에서는HA 입자가 탈회된 법랑질의 미세공극을 채우고 있는 양상이 나타났다.

이 연구는 타액오염이 발생한 시기와 타액오염 제거 방법이 레진강화형 글라스아이오노머의 상아질에 대한 결합력에 미치는 영향에 대해 평가하고자 하였다. 각 군당 10개씩 총 60개의 발거된 영구치 상아질 표면을 노출시켜 아크릴 레진에 매몰하였다. I군은 대조군으로 폴리아크릴산(PAA)으로 산처리만 시행하였다. II, III군은 PAA 산처리 전 타액오염을 시켰고 IV, V, VI군은 PAA 산처리 후 타액오염을 시켰다. 타액오염 후 II군과 IV군은 건조하였고 III군과 V군은 수세 후 건조하였으며 VI군은 추가적으로 PAA 산처리하였다. 그 후 레진강화형 글라스아이오노머를 충전하였다. 전단결합강도는 만능 재료 시험기로 측정하였고 파절 양상은 주사전사현미경으로 관찰하였다. 대조군인 I군이 유의하게 가장 높은 전단결합강도를 보였다(p = 0.001). 타액오염을 시행한 군들 중에서는 VI군이 유의하게 높은 전단강도를 보였다(p = 0.001). 파절양상은 군간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p = 0.729). 타액오염은 발생한 시기와 상관없이 레진강화형 글라스아이오노머의 상아질에 대한 결합력을 유의하게 저하시켰다(p = 0.001). 수세와 건조만으로는 전단결합강도를 회복하지 못했다. PAA 산처리 후 타액오염이 발생한 경우 추가적인 PAA 산처리가 전단결합강도를 유의하게 향상시켰다(p = 0.001).
