In the case of CAD/CAM ceramic inlay restorations, if isthmus width is widened too much, it may cause fracture of remaining tooth structure or loss of bonding at the luting interface because of excessive displacement of buccal or lingual cusps under occlusal loads. So to clarify the criterior of widening isthmus width, this study was designed to test the tensile bond strength and bond failure mode between dentin and ceramic cemented with luting composite resin cements. Cylindrical ceramic blocks(Vita Cerec Mark II, d=4mm) were bonded to buccal dentin of 40 freshly extracted third molars with 4 luting composite resin cements(group1 : Scotchbond Resin Cement/Scotchbond Multi-Purpose, group2 : Duolink Resin Cement/ All-Bond 2, group3: Bistite Resin Cement/Ceramics Primer, and group4:Superbond C&B). Tensile bond test was done under universal testing machine using bonding and measuring alignment blocks(${\phi}ilo$ & Urn, 1992). After immersion of fractured samples into 1 % methylene blue for 24 hours, failure mode was analysed under stereomicroscope and SEM. Results: The tensile bond strength of goup 1, 2 & 4 was $13.97{\pm}2.90$ MPa, $16.49{\pm}3.90$ MPa and $16.l7{\pm}4.32$ MPa, respectively. There was no statistical differences(p>0.05). But, group 3 showed significantly lower bond stregnth($5.98{\pm}1.l7$ MPa, p<0.05). In almost all samples, adhesive fractures between dentin and resin cements were observed. But, in group 1, 2 & 4, as bond strength increased, cohesive fracture within resin cement was observed simultaneously. And, in group 3, as bond strength decreased, cohesive fracture between hybrid layer and composite resin cement was also observed. Cohesive fracture within dentin and porcelain adhesive fracture were not observed. In conclusion, although adhesive cements were used in CAD/CAM -fabricated ceramic inlay restorations, the conservative priciples of cavity preparation must be obligated.

Plate-type phosphor is a promising substitute in overcoming the issues related to the powder phosphor paste mixed with resin. In this research, $Ca-{\alpha}-SiAlON:Eu^{2+}$ plate phosphor ($Ca_xSi_{12-(m+n)}Al_{m+n}O_nN_{16-n}:Eu_y$) was investigated for the varied compositions (m,n) of the host crystal with the fixed Eu content (y). Densification was promoted for the compositions with increasing 'm' values for the m=2n relationship. Dictated by the Eu concentration inside the phosphor crystal, photoluminescence intensity was stronger in ${\alpha}2$ specimen (m = 3.0, n = 1.5) containing the second phases when compared to ${\alpha}1$ specimen (m = 1.5, n = 0.75) comprising a single-phase ${\alpha}$-SiAlON. The concentration of Eu in the non-emitting amorphous interfacial glass phase was 2~4 times of the designed Eu concentration inside the ${\alpha}$-SiAlON crystal.

목적: 본 연구는 지르코니아 도재 표면의 나노구조 알루미나 코팅이 지르코니아와 레진 시멘트와의 전단결합강도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법: 지르코니아 원판 80개를 표면처리방법(산화알루미늄 분사처리(A), 산화알루미늄 분사 후 Rocatec 처리(R), 연마 후 나노구조 알루미나 코팅(PC), 산화알루미늄 분사 후 나노구조 알루미나 코팅(AC))에 따라 4개의 군으로 나누었다. 알루미나 코팅은 질산 알루미늄을 가수분해시킨 용액에 침적 후 $900^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 하여 시행하였다. 지르코니아 표면 코팅은 주사전자 현미경을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 레진 블럭을 레진 시멘트를 이용하여 각 실험군의 지르코니아 표면에 합착하고 열순환처리 전, 후의 전단결합강도를 측정하였다. 결과: 알루미나 코팅을 한 지르코니아 표면은 균일하고 치밀한 나노구조 알루미나가 관찰되었다. PC, AC 군은 열순환처리 전과 후 모두 A와 R 군에 비해 현저하게 높은 전단결합 강도를 보였다. A, R 군은 열순환처리 후에 급격한 결합강도의 감소를 보였으나, PC와 AC군은 열순환처리에 의해 유의할만한 결합강도의 감소를 보이지 않았다. 결론: 지르코니아 표면에 나노구조 알루미나 코팅처리하는 것은 레진시멘트와의 결합강도를 증가시키는 방법이다.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of repeated surface treatments on wettability and surface roughness for zirconia surface and bond strength of zirconia-based ceramics to resin cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Seventy blocks (10 × 10 × 3 mm) of zirconia-based ceramics were fabricated and divided into two groups according to the surface treatments: (A) 110 ㎛ Al₂O₃ airborne-particle abrasion and (R) 110 ㎛ silica modified Al₂O₃ airborne-particle abrasion. At stage 2, each group was subdivided into 5 groups according to the surface retreatments: (a) 110 ㎛ Al₂O₃ airborne-particle abrasion, (r) 110 ㎛ silica modified Al₂O₃ airborne-particle abrasion, (D) diamond bur, (Da) diamond bur + 110 ㎛ Al₂O₃ airborne-particle abrasion, and (Dr) diamond bur + 110 ㎛ silica modified Al₂O₃ airborne-particle abrasion. Cylinders of self-adhesive resin cement were cemented onto each treated ceramic surface and subjected to micro-shear bond strength test. Additional specimens were prepared for roughness and wettability analyses. The data were subjected to t-test and One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test (α=.05). RESULTS. At stage 1, group R presented higher bond strength values than group A (P=.000). There was a statistically significant increase of bond strength at stage 2 for group A (P=.003). The diamond bur influenced the surface roughness, increasing the values (P=.023). Group R provided better wettability. Regardless of the applied surface treatment, most of failures were adhesive. CONCLUSION. The combination of application and reapplication of Rocatec Plus showed the best results of bond strength. Surface retreatment and recementation might be an indicated clinical strategy.

PURPOSE. To compare the push-out bond strength of feldspar and zirconia-based ceramic inlays bonded to dentin with different resin cements following simulated aging. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Occlusal cavities in 80 extracted molars were restored in 2 groups (n=40) with CAD/CAM feldspar (Vitablocs Trilux forte) (FP) and zirconia-based (Ceramill Zi) (ZR) ceramic inlays. The fabricated inlays were luted in 2 subgroups (n=20) with either etch-and-bond (RelyX Ultimate Clicker) (EB) or self-adhesive (RelyX Unicem Aplicap) (SA) resin cement. Ten inlays in each subgroup were subjected to 3,500 thermal cycles and 24,000 loading cycles, while the other 10 served as control. Horizontal 3 mm thick specimens were cut out of the restored teeth for push out bond strength testing. Bond strength data were statistically analyzed using 1-way ANOVA and Tukey's comparisons at ${\alpha}=.05$. The mode of ceramic-cement-dentin bond failure for each specimen was also assessed. RESULTS. No statistically significant differences were noticed between FP and ZR bond strength to dentin in all subgroups (ANOVA, P=.05113). No differences were noticed between EB and SA (Tukey's, P>.05) bonded to either type of ceramics. Both adhesive and mixed modes of bond failure were dominant for non-aged inlays. Simulated aging had no significant effect on bond strength values (Tukey's, P>.05) of all ceramic-cement combinations although the adhesive mode of bond failure became more common (60-80%) in aged inlays. CONCLUSION. The suggested cement-ceramic combinations offer comparable bonding performance to dentin substrate either before or after simulated aging that seems to have no adverse effect on the achieved bond.

PURPOSE. This in vitro study investigated the repair bond strength of the zirconia ceramic after different aging conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS. In order to imitate the failure modes of veneered zirconia restorations, veneer ceramic, zirconia, and veneer ceramic-zirconia specimens were prepared and were divided into 4 subgroups as: control ($37^{\circ}C$ distilled water for 24 hours ) and 3000, 6000, 12000 thermal cycling groups (n=15). Then, specimens were bonded to composite resin using a porcelain repair kit according to the manufacturer recommendation. The repair bond strength (RBS) test was performed using a universal testing machine (0.5 mm/min). Failure types were analyzed under a stereomicroscope. Two-way ANOVA and Bonferroni test were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS. The RBS values of zirconia specimens were statistically significant and higher than veneer ceramic and veneer ceramic-zirconia specimens in control, 3000 and 6000 thermal cycling groups (P<.05). When 12000 thermal cycles were applied, the highest value was found in zirconia specimens but there was no statistically significant difference between veneer ceramic and veneer ceramic-zirconia specimens (P>.05). Veneer ceramic specimens exhibited cohesive failure types, zirconia specimens exhibited adhesive failure types, and veneer ceramic-zirconia specimens exhibited predominately mixed failure types. CONCLUSION. Thermal cycling can adversely affect RBS of composite resin binded to level of fractured zirconia ceramics.

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.

Statement of problem. In-Ceram system is one of the all-ceramic crowns that can be used in anterior 3 unit fixed partial dentures and posterior single crowns. The alumina core used in In-Ceram system is manufactured using slip-casting technique. The slip-casting technique is difficult and technique sensitive. To improve this problem, tape-casting method was introduced into dentistry. There were no studies to examine the effect of margin design on the margin fitness of all-ceramic crowns fabricated from alumina tape. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to compare the marginal fitness of glass infiltrated alumina core fabricated from aqueous-based alumina tape according to different margin types ($90^{\circ},\;110^{\circ},\;135^{\circ}$ shoulder margin). Material and method. Three upper central resin incisors were prepared with $90^{\circ},\;110^{\circ}$, and $135^{\circ}$ shoulder margins for all-ceramic crowns, respectively. The resin teeth were duplicated and master die and special plaster die were made as usual. After alumina cores were fabricated from aqueous-based alumina tape, cores were cemented to each 15 epoxy dies replicated from three resin teeth with resin cement. These cemented cores were embedded in epoxy resin. Specimens were cut mesiodistally and buccolingually. Marginal gap and discrepancy were measured under microscope. Results. The marginal gap and discrepancy of $90^{\circ}$ marginal angle was $75.1{\mu}m,\;86.6{\mu}m,\;110^{\circ}$ marginal angle was $41.5{\mu}m,\;50.7{\mu}m$ and $135^{\circ}$ marginal angle was $51.7{\mu}m,\;54.2{\mu}m$, respectively. The smallest value was seen in 110 (angle, which was statistically significant compared to that of $90^{\circ}$ angle (p<0.05). Conclusion. Marginal fitness of alumina cores made of alumina tape with $110^{\circ}$ shoulder margin was best and others were clinically acceptable.

전통적인 Metal-ceramic 보철 제작 방식으로부터 All-ceramic 보철에 이르기까지 최근 신소재 개발에 영향을 주는 가장 큰 요인은 심미적인 욕구일 것이다. 우리가 사용하는 각각의 치과용 수복 재료는 재료 별로 강도, 인성, 기계 가공의 효율성 및 사용에 필요한 다양한 과정을 기반으로 임상에서 다양하게 사용되고 있다. 예를 들어 Glass ceramic과 같은 단일 소재의 경우 약한 물성을 고려하여 주로 싱글 크라운과 같은 간단한 보철에 사용하고 있으며 상대적으로 높은 파괴 인성을 가진 지르코니아 재료의 경우 싱글 크라운은 물론 브릿지의 제작에도 널리 사용하고 있다. 하지만 지르코니아 재료는 제작 과정에서 긴 Sintering 시간을 필요로 하므로 Chair side에서 빠른 보철물 제작에 쉽지 않은 부분이 있으며 주로 Lab. side에서 사용하고 있다. CAD / CAM 시스템을 이용하여 보철물을 제작하는 용도로 개발 된 Hybrid ceramic 소재는 Resin Nano Hybrid Ceramic이라고도 하며, 개선 된 물성을 포함한 나노 세라믹 요소를 기반으로 하고 있다. 이러한 특징들은 심미적이며 기능적인 보철물의 제작이 용이한 과정과 결과를 보이고 있으며 동시에 향상된 내구성을 바탕으로 보철물의 제작 과정에 유리한 조건들을 가지고 있다. 새로운 Nano Hybrid Ceramic 재료는 Composite Resin과 Glass ceramic과 같은 단일 소재들이 가진 장점들을 이용하여 술자들의 요구사항을 바탕으로 오랜 연구를 통해 개발된 치과 수복 아이템이며 Nano ceramic filler가 혼합된 구조로 되어있어 치과 수복용 복합소재로서 널리 사용하고 있다. 또한 Nano Hybrid Ceramic소재는 Composite resin의 가공 과정에서 쉽게 파절되지 않는 개선된 물성과 Glass ceramic이 가진 심미성 동시에 포함하고 있는 것이 특징이다. 따라서 Chair side와 Lab. side에서 CAD/CAM 시스템을 이용하여 보철물을 제작할 때 임상적용이 쉽고 유용한 장점을 가지고 있어 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

최근 20년간 다양한 종류의 심미 수복재가 개발되었고, 특히 지난 5년 동안에는 그 수에 있어서 극적인 증가추세를 보였다. 최근 들어, ormocer라는 새로운 종류의 광중합형 수복재료가 소개되었는데, 화학 분야에서는 이미 오래 전부터 알려져 있던 성분으로, 광학렌즈 등의 표면경화제로 이용되어 오다가 최근 치과용 수복재에 도입되었다. 'Ormocer' 란 'Organically Modified Ceramics'의 약자로 'Ormosils' (Organically Modified Silicates)로도 알려져 있다. 그러나, 이 새로운 수복재에 대한 연구는 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 계통의 광중합형 수복재들(Z-100, Surefil, Tetric Ceram, Dyract AP)과 ormocer(Admira)를 압축강도와 굴곡강도 측면에서 비교 평가하고, 구강내 환경과 유사한 조건에서 수분흡수가 그 물성에 미치는 영향을 평가할 목적으로 시도되어 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 1일 후에 측정한 Admira의 압축강도는 Surefil보다는 낮았으나, 다른 재료들과는 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다(p>0.05). 2. 1일 후에 측정한 Admira의 굴곡강도는 다른 4종의 재료에 비해서 낮았다(p<0.05). 2일부터는 3종의 복합레진에 비해서 낮았다(p<0.05). 3. 실험기간(30일) 중 hybrid composite resin군(Z-100, Tetric Ceram)과 packable resin(Surefil)군 간에는 압축강도와 굴곡강도에서 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 4. 실험에 사용된 5종의 수복재 모두 압축강도와 굴곡강도가 2일까지 증가하다가 7일부터 감소하였다(p<0.05). 5. 각 재료의 시간에 따른 압축강도와 굴곡강도의 변화양상은 통계적으로 유사하였다(p>0.05).
