Objectives : The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of light intensity variation on the polymerization rate of composite resin using IB system (the experimental equipment designed by Dr. IB Lee) by which real-time volumetric change of composite can be measured. Methods : Three commercial composite resins [Z100(Z1), AeliteFil(AF), SureFil(SF)] were photopolymerized with Variable Intensity Polymerizer unit (Bisco, U.S.A.) under the variable light intensity (75/150/225/300/375/450mW$^2$) during 20 sec. Polymerization shrinkage of samples was detected continuously by IB system during 110 sec and the rate of polymerization shrinkage was obtained by its shrinkage data. Peak time(P.T.) showing the maximum rate of polymerization shrinkage was used to compare the polymerization rate. Results : Peak time decreased with increasing light intensity(p<0.05). Maximum rate of polymerization shrinkage increased with increasing light intensity(p<0.05). Statistical analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between peak time and inverse square root of the light intensity (AF:R=0.965, Zl:R=0.974, SF:R=0.927). Statistical analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between the maximum rate of polymerization shrinkage and peak time(AF:R=-0.933, Zl:R=-0.892, SF:R=-0.883), and a significant positive correlation between the maximum rate of polymerization shrinkage and square root of the light intensity (AF:R=0.988, Zl:R=0.974, SF:R=0.946). Discussion and Conclusions : The polymerization rate of composite resins used in this study was proportional to the square root of light intensity Maximum rate of polymerization shrinkage as well as peak time can be used to compare the polymerization rate. Real-time volume method using IB system can be a simple alternative method to obtain the polymerization rate of composite resins.

복합레진이 개발된 이후 많은 물성의 향상이 이루어졌으나 복합레진의 중합수축은 아직 해결되지 않은 주요 단점으로 남아있다. 중합수축이 적은 복합레진을 만들기 위한 많은 노력이 이루어졌고, 최근에 기존의 methacrylate 기질이 아닌 silorane 기질의 복합레진이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 silorane 기질의 복합레진과 methacrylate 기질의 복합레진의 중합수축거동을 측정하고 비교하고자 하였다. 온도변화에 민감하지 않으며 실시간으로 복합레진의 체적 중합수축을 측정할 수 있는 계측장치를 제작하여 사용하였다. 5종의 methacrylate 기질의 수복용 복합레진(Beautifil, Z100, Z250, Z350, Gradia X)과 silorane 기질 복합레진 (P90)의 중합수축을 10분 동안 측정하여, 중합수축량, 최대 중합수축률 그리고 최대수축시간을 비교하였다. 복합레진의 중합수축은 제품별로 많은 차이를 보였다. Silorane 기질의 P90복합레진의 중합수축이 1.48%로 가장 낮았고 Beautifil 복합레진의 중합수축이 2.80%로 가장 높았다. Methacrylate 계열의 복합레진 사이에도 중합수축량에 제품별로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 최대 중합수축률은 P90이 0.13%/s로 가장 낮았고 Z100이 0.34%/s로 가장 높았다. 최대 수축시간은 methacrylate기질의 복합레진(2.4-3.1초)에 비해, silorane 기질의 P90 복합레진이 6.7초로 두 배 이상 길었다. 최대중합수축률은 중합수축과 최대수축시간의 역수를 곱한 값과 강한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(R = 0.95).

The polymerization shrinkage of composite resins is an important drawback although the composites have many advantages-more esthetic and conservative than metallic restoratives etc. The purposes of this research were to develop a new measurement method and to manufacture an instrument that can measure the initial dynamic volumetric shrinkage of composite resins during polymerization. The instrument was basically an electromagnetic balance that constructed with a force transducer using position sensitive photo detector(PSPD) and a negative feedback servo amplifier of proportional-derivative(PD) controller. The volumetric change of composites during polymerization was detected continuously as buoyancy change in distilled water by means of Archimedes's principle. It was converted to continuous electrical voltage signal in real time. The signal was properly conditioned and filtered and then it was stored in computer by a data acquisition(DAQ) board. By using this electronic instrument. the dynamic patterns of the polymerization shrinkage of eight commercial(Z-100, DenFil, AeliteFil, Z-250, P-60, SureFil, Synergy compact, and Tetric ceram) composite resins were measured and compared.

지금까지 다수의 연구자들에 의해 광중합형 복합 레진을 중합하는 방법에 있어서 광조사 강도, 시간을 조절하여 중합수축의 속도를 감소시키기 위한 시도가 있었으나, 간헐적 중합법에 관한 구체적인 연구가 부족하다. 이에 저자는 광중합 복합 레진을 간헐적으로 광중합시켜 기존의 연속 중합법과 비교하여 중합 수축의 속도를 측정하고 교두 변위에 대한 영향을 평가해 보고자 하였다. 실험에 사용된 수복 재료는 2종의 광중합형 복합 레진으로 Heliomolar와 Pyramid이며, 중합 수축량을 측정하기 위해 자체 제작한 Linometer (R&B Inc., Daejon, Korea)을 사용하였고 광중합시 광조사 차단장치를 시편과 Linometer 사이에 위치시켜 각각의 서로 다른 중합 주기: (1) 연속 광중합 (60초간 계속 광조사); (2) 2초 광조사, 1초 광차단 (90초 시행), (3) 1초 광조사, 1초 광차단 (120초 시행), (4) 1초 광조사, 2초 광차단 (180초 시행)로 중합시켰다. 군 별로 조사된 총에너지량이 동일하도록 중합 시간을 조절하였고, 최종 중합 수축량을 측정하였으며 중합 수축의 최고속도 ($R_{max}$)와 최고속도를 나타낸 peak time (PT)을 계산하였다. 교두 변위의 측정을 위해서는 각 군별로 10개의 건전한 상악 소구치에 변형시킨 제2급 와동을 형성한 다음 상아질 접착제를 도포하고 일정량의 복합 레진을 충전한 후 치아를 자체 제작된 치아 변위 측정기 (R&B Inc., Daejon, Korea)에 위치시켜 교두 변위양을 알아보았다. 통계분석은 ANOVA test를 이용하여 군 간의 비교를 하였고, 재료간의 비교를 위해서는 t-test를 시행하였다. 실험 결과는 1) 선수축량은 군 간에 차이가 없었고 (p > 0.05), Pyramid가 Heliomolar보다 중합 수축량이 컸다 (p < 0.05). Peak time은 Heliomolar와 Pyramid 레진 모두에서 간헐적 광중합시 더 늦게 나타났다. $R_{max}$는 Heliomolar는 4군 < 3군, 2군 < 1군 순이었고, Pyramid는 3군 < 4군 < 2군, 1군 순으로 측정되었다. 2) Heliomolar는 4군 < 3군 < 2, 1군 그리고 Pyramid는 4, 3군 < 2, 1군 순으로 교두 변위가 컸으며 (p < 0.05), Pyramid가 Heliomolar보다 교두 변위가 크게 나타났다 (p < 0.05). 이번 실험을 통해 복합 레진을 광조사 차단장치를 이용하여 간헐적 광중합시켜 중합수축 속도를 늦춤으로써 교두 변위 양이 감소됨을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 광중합형 복합레진 중합 시 기존의 중합법과 가변광도 중합형인 soft start 중합법 및 exponential 중합법 간의 중합수축효과를 비교하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 위해 3종의 복합레진 (Synergy Duo Shade, Z250, Filtek Supreme) 및 3종의 광조사기 (Spectrum 800, Elipar Highlight, Elipar Trilight)를 사용하였다. 총 중합시간은 40초로 일정하게 유지하였으며, 선형 중합수축률의 측정은 linometer를 이용하였으며, 90초간의 선형 수축률을 0.5초 간격으로 측정하였다. 재료별로 각 중합 방법별 시간에 따른 중합수축률을 one-way ANOVA test로 분석하여 최종 중합수축률에 도달하는 시간을 산출하였고, 90초 후 최종 선형 중합수축률을 two-way ANOVA test를 이용하여 재료, 광조사 방법, 재료 및 광조사 방법의 교호작용이 중합수축에 미치는 영향이 있는지를 검증하였다. 또한 90초까지의 선형 중합수축률에 대한 20초까지의 선형 중합수축률의 비를 two-way ANOVA로 비교하고, 각각의 통계치를 95% Scheffe test로 검증하였는바, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다 1. Supreme을 제외한 다른 군에서는 재료 및 광조사 방법에 관계없이 대부분의 중합 수축이 광조사 후 20초 이내에 이루어졌다 (p < 0.05). 2. 90초 후, 최종 중합수축률은 재료 (p = 0.000)와 광조사 방법 (p = 0.003) 모두 유의성 있는 영향을 끼쳤으나, 재료와 광조사 방법 상호간의 작용은 영향이 없었다. 3. 90초 후 최종 중합수축률은 총 광에너지가 가장 낮은 exponential 중합법에서 유의성 있게 낮았다 (p < 0.05). 4. 20초까지의 초기 수축률은 soft start와 exponential중합법 등 가변광도 중합이 conventional 중합법에 비하여 유의성 있게 낮은 수축률을 보였다 (p < 0.05). 본 실험 결과만을 토대로 볼 때, 가변광도 중합법은 초기 중합수축 속도를 감소시켜 수축응력을 감소시킨다고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 총 조사 광에너지의 차이로 인해 그 물리적 성질에 영향이 있을 수 있으므로 향후 이에 대한 더 많은 고찰이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

목적: 본 연구에서는 세 가지 중합 방법에 따른 이원 중합 레진 시멘트의 중합 수축률을 비교하고 광조사가 중합 정도에 미치는 영향에 관하여 알아보고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법: 네 가지 종류의 이원 중합형 레진 시멘트(Smartcem 2, Panavia F 2.0, Clearfil SA Luting, Zirconite)가 사용되었다. 각 재료 당 세가지 서로 다른 중합 방법(자가 중합, 즉시 광중합, 5분 지연 광중합)으로 중합하였으며, 각 방법 당 5개의 시편을 사용하였다. Bonded disk method를 사용하여 $37^{\circ}C$에서 30분간, 시간에 따른 중합 수축률을 측정하였다. 측정값은 일원분산분석과 다중 분석을 위한 Scheff$\acute{e}$ test를 사용하였고, 유의수준은 0.05으로 하였다. 결과: Panavia F 2.0를 제외한 나머지 세 종류의 이원 중합 레진 시멘트들은 지연 광중합 반응에서 가장 높은 중합 수축률을 보였다. Panavia F 2.0의 중합 수축률은 중합 방법간에 통계학적 유의성이 없었다. 중합이 개시된 초기 10분 내에 즉시 혹은 지연 광중합에서 모든 시멘트는 90% 이상의 중합수축을 보였다. 결론: 이원 중합 레진 시멘트의 지연 광중합이 중합 효율을 높인다.

Objectives: This study examined the influence of the resin thickness on the polymerization of silorane- and methacrylate-based composites. Materials and Methods: One silorane-based (Filtek P90, 3M ESPE) and two methacrylate-based (Filtek Z250 and Z350, 3M ESPE) composite resins were used. The number of photons were detected using a photodiode detector at the different thicknesses (thickness, 1, 2 and 3 mm) specimens. The microhardness of the top and bottom surfaces was measured (n = 15) using a Vickers hardness with 200 gf load and 15 sec dwell time conditions. The degree of conversion (DC) of the specimens was determined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Scratched powder of each top and bottom surface of the specimen dissolved in ethanol for transmission FTIR spectroscopy. The refractive index was measured using a Abbe-type refractometer. To measure the polymerization shrinkage, a linometer was used. The results were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test at p < 0.05 level. Results: The silorane-based resin composite showed the lowest filler content and light attenuation among the specimens. P90 showed the highest values in the DC and the lowest microhardness at all depth. In the polymerization shrinkage, P90 showed a significantly lower shrinkage than the rest two resin products (p < 0.05). P90 showed a significantly lower refractive index than the remaining two resin products (p < 0.05). Conclusions: DC, microhardness, polymerization rate and refractive index linearly decreased as specimen thickness linearly increased. P90 showed much less polymerization shrinkage compared to other specimens. P90, even though achieved the highest DC, showed the lowest microhardness and refractive index.

Most of cervical abrasion and erosion lesions show gingival margin where the cavosurface angle is on cementum or dentin. Composite resin restoration of cervical lesion shrink toward enamel margin due to polymerization contraction. This shrinkage has clinical problem such as microleakage and secondary caries. Several methods to diminish contraction stress of composite resin restoration, such as modifying cavity form and building up restorations in several increments have been attempted. The purpose of this study was to compare polymerization contraction stress of composite resin in Class V cavity subjected to cavity forms and placement methods. In this study, finite element model of 5 types of Class V cavity was developed on computer tomogram of maxillary central incisor. The types are : 1) Box cavity 2) Box cavity with incisal bevel 3) V shape cavity 4) V shape cavity with incisal bevel 5) Saucer shape cavity. The placement methods are 1) Incisal first oblique incremental curing 2) Bulk curing. An FEM based program for light activated polymerization is not available. For simulation of curing dynamics, time dependent transient thermal conduction analysis was conducted on each cavity and each placement method. For simulation of polymerization shrinkage, thermal stress analysis was performed with each cavity and each placement method. The time-temperature dependent volume shrinkage rate, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio were determined in thermal conduction data. The results were as follows : 1. With all five Class V cavifies, the highest Von Mises stress at the composite-tooth interface occurred at gingival margin. 2. With box cavity, V shape cavity and saucer cavity, Von Mises stress at gingival margin of V shape cavity was lower than the others. And that of box cavity was lower than that of saucer cavity. 3. Preparing bevel at incisal cavosurface margin decreased the rate of stress development in early polymerization stage. 4. Preparing bevel at incisal cavosurface margin of V shape cavity increased the Von Mises stress at gingival margin, but decreased at incisal margin. 5. At incisal margin, stress development by bulk curing method was rapid at early stage. Stress development by first increment of incremental curing method was also rapid but lower than that by bulk curing method, however after second increment curing final stress was the same for two placement methods. 6. At gingival margin, stress development by incremental curing method was suddenly rapid at early stage of second increment curing, but final stress was the same for two placement methods.

The aims of this experiment were to investigate the strain and temperature changes simultaneously within autopolymerzing acrylic resin specimens. A computerized data acquisition system with an electrical resistance strain gauge and a thermocouple was used over time periods up to 180 minutes. The overall strain kinetics, the effects of stress relaxation and additional heat supply during the polymerization were evaluated. Stone mold replicas with an inner butt-joint rectangular cavity ($40.0{\times}25.0mm$, 5.0mm in depth) were duplicated from a brass master mold. A strain gauge (AE-11-S50N-120-EC, CAS Inc., Korea) and a thermocouple were installed within the cavity, which had been connected to a personal computer and a precision signal conditioning amplifier (DA1600 Dynamic Strain Amplifier, CAS Inc., Korea) so that real-time recordings of both polymerization-induced strain and temperature changes were performed. After each of fresh resin mixture was poured into the mold replica, data recording was done up to 180 minutes with three-second interval. Each of two poly(methyl methacrylate) products (Duralay, Vertex) and a vinyl ethyl methacrylate product (Snap) was examined repeatedly ten times. Additionally, removal procedures were done after 15, 30 and 60 minutes from the start of mixing to evaluate the effect of stress relaxation after deflasking. Six specimens for each of nine conditions were examined. After removal from the mold, the specimen continued bench-curing up to 180 minutes. Using a waterbath (Hanau Junior Curing Unit, Model No.76-0, Teledyne Hanau, New York, U.S.A.) with its temperature control maintained at $50^{\circ}C$, heat-soaking procedures with two different durations (15 and 45 minutes) were done to evaluate the effect of additional heat supply on the strain and temperature changes within the specimen during the polymerization. Five specimens for each of six conditions were examined. Within the parameters of this study the following results were drawn: 1. The mean shrinkage strains reached $-3095{\mu}{\epsilon},\;-1796{\mu}{\epsilon}$ and $-2959{\mu}{\epsilon}$ for Duralay, Snap and Vertex, respectively. The mean maximum temperature rise reached $56.7^{\circ}C,\;41.3^{\circ}C$ and $56.1^{\circ}C$ for Duralay, Snap, and Vertex, respectively. A vinyl ethyl methacrylate product (Snap) showed significantly less polymerization shrinkage strain (p<0.01) and significantly lower maximum temperature rise (p<0.01) than the other two poly(methyl methacrylate) products (Duralay, Vertex). 2. Mean maximum shrinkage rate for each resin was calculated to $-31.8{\mu}{\epsilon}/sec,\;-15.9{\mu}{\epsilon}/sec$ and $-31.8{\mu}{\epsilon}/sec$ for Duralay, Snap and Vertex, respectively. Snap showed significantly lower maximum shrinkage rate than Duralay and Vertex (p<0.01). 3. From the second experiment, some expansion was observed immediately after removal of specimen from the mold, and the amount of expansion increased as the removal time was delayed. For each removal time, Snap showed significantly less strain changes than the other two poly(methyl methacrylate) products (p<0.05). 4. During the external heat supply for the resins, higher maximum temperature rises were found. Meanwhile, the maximum shrinkage rates were not different from those of room temperature polymerizations. 5. From the third experiment, the external heat supply for the resins during polymerization could temporarily decrease or even reverse shrinkage strains of each material. But, shrinkage re-occurred in the linear nature after completion of heat supply. 6. Linear thermal expansion coefficients obtained from the end of heat supply continuing for an additional 5 minutes, showed that Snap exhibited significantly lower values than the other two poly(methyl methacrylate) products (p<0.01). Moreover, little difference was found between the mean linear thermal expansion coefficients obtained from two different heating durations (p>0.05).
