This paper aims to evaluate the variation in the mechanical properties of carbon/epoxy composites under in situ low- and high-temperature environments. In situ low- and high-temperature environments were simulated with temperature ranging from $-40^{\circ}C$ to $220^{\circ}C$ using an environmental chamber and furnace. The variation in the mechanical properties of the composites was measured for longitudinal and transverse tensile properties, in-plane shear properties and interlaminar shear strength. Under the low temperature of $-40^{\circ}C$, all mechanical properties increased moderately compared to the baseline properties measured at room temperature. The changes in the longitudinal tensile properties decreased moderately with increasing temperature. However, transverse tensile properties, in-plane shear properties and interlaminar shear strength each showed a significant drop due to the glass transition behavior of the matrix after $140^{\circ}C$. Notably, the tensile property value near $100^{\circ}C$ increased compared to baseline property value, which was an unusual occurrence. This behavior was a direct result of post-curing of the epoxy resin due to its exposure to high temperature.

With the introduction of the xenon plasma arc curing light and the LED curing light as orthodontic curing lights, the polymerizing time of orthodontic composites has clearly decreased. In contrast to various research cases regarding the polymerization time and bond strength of the xenon plasma arc curing light, not enough research exists on the LED curing light, including the appropriate polymerization time. The objective of this research was to compare the bond strength of the plasma curing light and the LED curing light in regards to the polymerization time. The polymerization time needed to achieve an appropriate adhesion strength of the bracket has also been studied. After applying orthodontic brackets using composite resin onto 120 human premolars, the plasma arc curing light and the LED curing light were used for polymerization for 4, 6, and 8 seconds accordingly. This research proved that the LED curing light provided appropriate bond strength for mounting orthodontic brackets even with short seconds of polymerization. The expensive cost and large size of the device limits the use of the plasma arc curing light, whereas the low cost and easy handling of the LED curing light may lead to greater use in orthodontics.

People have spent lots of time inside building about 90% of these day. Industry has been developed rapidly after I960. Construction materials had changed from natural materials to chemical materials and confidentiality of building has been more higher than before by policy of saving energy. These have caused sick-building syndrome (SBS) for us. So people want environmental construction materials for their house. We designed a environmental loess (yellow soil) finishing material which was composed of loess, water, water-soluble resin, hardener and filler. The purposes of this study were that making an environmental loess finishing material with optimum ratio, evaluating the usability of loess finishing material for wall. Furthermore it was suitable for wall to evaluate mechanical properties that are impact test, cracking test, abrasion test and de-bonding test, environmental properties that were emission of VOCs, formaldehyde and far infrared radiation.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of elastic modulus of restorative materials and the number of interfaces of post and core systems on the stress distribution of three differently restored endodontically treated maxillary second premolars using 3D FE analysis. Model 1, 2 was restored with a stainless steel or glass fiber post and direct composite resin. A PFG or a sintered alumina crown was considered. Model 3 was restored by EndoCrown. An oblique 500 N was applied on the buccal (Load A) and palatal (Load B) cusp. The von Mises stresses in the coronal and root structure of each model were analyzed using ANSYS. The elastic modulus of the definitive restorations rather than the type of post and core system was the primary factor that influenced the stress distribution of endodontically treated maxillary premolars. The stress concentration at the coronal structure could be lowered through the use of definitive restoration of high elastic modulus. The stress concentration at the root structure could be lowered through the use of definitive restoration of low elastic modulus.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture strength of porcelain laminate veneer with various lingual extention length when incisal restoring. Sixty recently extracted, intact maxillary incisors were used and stored in a physiologic saline solution from the time of extraction. Seating form was preparation at the labial surface of each tooth with a water-cooled round diamond bur. Standard block was formed with 32 gauge and 24 gauge wax at tooth labial and lingual surface. Lingual extention length differed according to each group. (group I : 0.5mm, group II : 1 mm, group III : 2mm, group IV : 0mm) All tooth specimens were impressioned with examix(GC Inc., Japan). Refractory cast were maked with refractory die material(Ceramco Inc., U.S.A.) Laminate porcelain (Ceramco II Veneer porcelain, Ceramco Inc., U.S.A.) was condensed in refractory die cast and baked according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Each surface was contoured with low speed diamond bur according to guide block. All porcelain specimens were sandblasted and ultrasonically cleaned in distlled water for 3 minutes. Then, all porcelain specimen were etched with 8% hydrofluoric acid for 5 minutes. Sixty specimens were bonded with composite resin cement(Choice Porcelain Veneer System, Bisco Inc., U.S.A.) according to manufacture's directions. The fracture loads of the specimen were measured by Instron universal testing machine. The mean values of fracture loads for the groups were statistically compared by Duncan's multiful range test. The result were as follows : Mean fracture strengths of each group were 86.95Mpa in no lingual extention group, 44.98Mpa in 0.5mm lingual extention group, 27.47Mpa in 1mm lingual extention group, 19.61Mpa in 2mm lingual extention group. There was a statistically significant difference between all group(p<0.01).

The term 'triple tooth' is used to describe a rare dental abnormality in which three teeth appear to be joined. The literature contains many reports of joined primary teeth; most cases have involved, however, the joining of two teeth, and only rarely three teeth. Triple tooth has clinical problems such as dental caries, esthetic problems, malocclusions, and periodontal problems. Therefore, it may require multi-disciplinary approach. The present study describes rare case of triple tooth between maxillary primary central and lateral incisors and a supernumerary tooth. An one-year, eleven-month old girl was seen for evaluation of swelling in the labial gingiva above a right maxillary triple tooth. She experienced traumatic dental injury in that area three weeks ago. Intraoral examination revealed an abscess and fistula in the region of the triple tooth. A radiographic examination showed that right lateral incisor was missing. Endodontic treatment and composite resin restoration was performed on the triple tooth. After follow-ups of 7 months period, there were no marked complications.

The purpose of this study was to quantify urinary and salivary bisphenol-A (BPA) concentrations according to sealant procedure among children. Nine students who had never treated with composite resin or sealant before, were recruited from one elementary school, Daegu, Korea from August 2013 to April 2014. Before sealant procedure, saliva and urine sample were collected. Immediately after sealant procedure saliva sample was collected and 24 hours after the procedure urine sample was collected. Creatinine was measured and adjusted to calculate urinary BPA concentration. Salivary and urinary BPA concentration after sealant procedure were $2.43{\pm}1.54{\mu}g/L$, $4.08{\pm}3.05{\mu}g/g{\cdot}$creatinine respectively, which were relatively higher than those before sealant procedure ($1.41{\pm}1.06{\mu}g/L$, $2.89{\pm}2.91{\mu}g/g{\cdot}$creatinine) but these were not statistically significant. We suggest that more large scale studies considering environmental confounders which have an effect on BPA are needed to establish the relationship between sealant exposure and BPA among children.

The objective of this in situ study was to evaluate the effects of whitening strip (Claren, LG Household & Health Care Ltd, 2.6% hydrogen peroxide) and gel (Opalescence, Ultradent, 10% carbamide peroxide) on microhardness of enamel in comparison with untreated control. Extracted twenty human upper incisors were disinfected, cleaned, and labial side of each incisor sectioned into 3 fragments by 2 ${\times}$ 2 mm size. After sectioning, labial sides of fragments were flattened and fixed to orthodontic bracket using flowable composite resin. Specimens prepared from each tooth were attached to the labial side of upper incisors of twenty volunteers one by one and treated by three different methods: (1) untreated control (2) treated with whitening strip for 14 days (3) treated with whitening gel for 14 days. Microhardness (Microhardness tester, Zwick) of each specimen was measured at the baseline of pre-treatment, immediate after bleaching treatment, 14 days after bleaching treatment and Knoop Hardness Number was determined. Microhardness changes of experimental groups were compared. The results show that tooth whitening strip and gel used in this study does not effect the microhardness of enamel during bleaching procedure.
