  • The purpose of the present study were to evaluate microleakage of a fourth generation dentin-bonding agent following a walking bleaching treatment, to determine the effect of temporary postbleaching dressing with calcium hydroxide on microleakage and to investigate the effect of delayed intracoronal restoration on microleakage. The results of this study were as follows : 1. Bleached groups showed more microleakage than unbleached group 2. Immediately restored group following bleaching procedure showed the highest microleakage score. 3. One-week delayed restorations showed less microleakage but there were no statistically significant difference between group II and III. 4. Provisional dressing with calcium hydroxide had no influence on microleakage. It is necessary to know the time that has elapsed from the bleaching treatment to the restoration procedure to achieve optimal seal, as well as to reduce the risk of microleakage in adhesive restoration.

  • PURPOSE. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of surface treatments on bond strength of indirect composite material (Tescera Indirect Composite System) to monolithic zirconia (inCoris TZI). MATERIALS AND METHODS. Partially stabilized monolithic zirconia blocks were cut into with 2.0 mm thickness. Sintered zirconia specimens were divided into different surface treatment groups: no treatment (control), sandblasting, glaze layer & hydrofluoric acid application, and sandblasting + glaze layer & hydrofluoric acid application. The indirect composite material was applied to the surface of the monolithic zirconia specimens. Shear bond strength value of each specimen was evaluated after thermocycling. The fractured surface of each specimen was examined with a stereomicroscope and a scanning electron microscope to assess the failure types. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey LSD tests (${\alpha}$=.05). RESULTS. Bond strength was significantly lower in untreated specimens than in sandblasted specimens (P<.05). No difference between the glaze layer and hydrofluoric acid application treated groups were observed. However, bond strength for these groups were significantly higher as compared with the other two groups (P<.05). CONCLUSION. Combined use of glaze layer & hydrofluoric acid application and silanization are reliable for strong and durable bonding between indirect composite material and monolithic zirconia.

  • The purpose of this study was to determine whether any clinical factors or conditions are associated with an increased incidence or degree of pain occuring during endodontic treatment in patients who begin treatment with no symptoms. The 260 teeth of 256 patients were surveyed and statistical analysis was used to determine whether a significant relationship existed between pain and any recorded clinical factors or conditions. The following conclusions were drawn. 1. No significant relationship between interappointment pain and any of the analyzed clinical factors or conditions except for fistula formation could be determined. 2. The presence of a draining fistula from a periapical lesion significantly decreased the posttreatment pain. 3. The judicious use of canal irrigants and canal medicaments is not associated with an increased incidence or degree of interappointment pain.

  • Variation in the root and canal morphology of the maxillary first molars is quite common. The most common configuration is 3 roots and 3 or 4 canals. Nonetheless, other possibilities still exist. The presence of an additional palatal root is rather uncommon and has been reported to have an incidence of 0.06 - 1.6% in varying populations studied. Whenever two palatal roots exist, one of them is the normal palatal root, the other is a supernumerary structure which can be located either mesiolingually (radix mesiolingualis) or distolingually (radix distolingualis). This case report describes successful endodontic treatment of a maxillary first molar with radix mesiolingualis and radix distolingualis. Identification of this variation was done through clinical examination along with the aid of multiangled radiographs, and an accurate assessment of this morphology was made with the help of a cone-beam computed tomography imaging. In addition to the literature review, this article also discusses the epidemiology, classifications, morphometric features, guidelines for diagnosis, and endodontic management of a maxillary first molar with extra-palatal root.

  • Dental porcelains are widely used for restorative material because of its excellent esthetic property. But according to contact with natural teeth or metal in oral cavity, the porcelain may be worn and may effect on masticatory physiology and prosthetic function. The purpose of this experiment was to study on wear of porcelain surface which treated in different method. Using the abrasion device which was designed and constructed by myself, the different porcelain surface were abraded by gold alloy, nickel-chrome alloy and natural teeth in order to compare roughness. Results were as follows. 1. The group of porcelain abraded by gold alloy showed less surface roughness change (t=2.92, p<0.05), and the group of porcelain abraded by natural teeth had high surface roughness. change (t=6.84, p<0.05). 2. According to the method of surface treatment, the surface roughness were very significant (F=9.12, p<0.05). 3. After abrading, the porcelain surface roughness change was very significant (F=54.49, p<0.05). 4. There was no significant between surface treatment method and the kind of abrading materials. (F=1.01, p>0..05). 5. The group of natural glazing had the most smooth surface ($2.1{\pm}1.13{\mu}m$).

  • Iatrogenic perforations negatively impact the outcome of endodontic treatments. Studies on prognostic factors showed that perforations in the coronal third of the root with periodontal pocket formation have an unfavorable prognosis. A 36-year-old female was referred for endodontic evaluation of tooth #13 with a history of an iatrogenic perforation, happened 3 years ago. There was a sinus tract associated with perforation, 10 mm probing on the mesial and mesio-palatal, bleeding on probing, radiolucent lesion adjacent to the perforation and complete resorption of the interdental bone between teeth #13 and #12. After the treatment options were discussed, she chose to save the tooth. The tooth was accessed under rubber dam isolation, the perforation site was cleaned and disinfected using 0.5% sodium hypochlorite and sealed with calcium-enriched mixture cement. Eighteen months after treatment the tooth was functional and asymptomatic. The probing depths were normal without bleeding on probing. Radiographically, the interdental crestal bone formed between teeth #13 and #12. Despite all negative prognostic factors in this case (i.e., perforations in the coronal third, pocket formation, and radiolucent lesion), healing was unexpectedly achieved via non-surgical repair of the perforation. Further research on biological aspects of healing in the periodontium following iatrogenic perforations are recommended.

  • This study describes the clinical steps taken in the treatment of a patient who had an avulsed right upper central incisor that presented with incomplete root development and chronic apical periodontitis. A 7-year-old boy was referred from a private dentist to a dental office specializing in endodontics. The tooth had remained in a dry environment for 20 minutes, and tooth replantation was performed at an emergency appointment. After clinical and radiographic examinations, root canal decontamination was performed, followed by several changes in intracanal calcium hydroxide medication. Blood clot formation was attempted, but bleeding within the root canal was insufficient; therefore, we opted for an intracanal medication change to stimulate mineralized tissue formation in the apical region. Root obturation was performed 45 days after the last change of intracanal medication, and clinical, radiographic, and tomographic follow-up examinations were performed at 3, 6, 18, and 40 months after the endodontic intervention. The increase in thickness and length of the root structure and the absence of root resorption were verified through follow-up examinations. Therefore, it was concluded that the procedures used were successful for tooth replantation.

  • A 19-year-old Korean woman presented with left mandibular dental pain and swelling. Periapical radiolucencies were associated with the mandibular left first molar, second molar and the mandibular right second molar. The mandibular right second molar root developed incompletely and has the open apex. Clinical examination revealed worn accessory occlusal cusps of premolars. A diagnosis of dens evaginatus with associated periapical lesion secondary to pulpal necrosis was made. The root canal of the lower right second premolar was sealed with Calcium hydroxide paste for apexification. About two months later Calcium hydroxide paste was removed and the canal was resealed with new Calcium hydroxide paste. After four months the canal was sealed permanently with guttapercha and zinc oxide-eugenol sealer. The root canals of the lower left premolars were irrigated every week with 3.5% NaOCl solution for and half month. And the canals were sealed with gutta-percha and ZOE sealer. Preventive endodontic treatment for the lower right first premolar was undertaken.

  • The first part of this study reviewed the characteristics of calcium hydroxide ($Ca(OH)_2$) and summarized the results of in vitro studies related to its antimicrobial effects. The second part of this review covers in vivo studies including human clinical studies and animal studies. The use of $Ca(OH)_2$ as an intracanal medicament represented better histological results in animal studies. However, human clinical studies showed limited antimicrobial effects that microorganisms were reduced but not eliminated through the treatment, and that some species had resistance to $Ca(OH)_2$. Most of clinical outcome studies supported that there is no improvement in healing of periapical lesions when $Ca(OH)_2$ was applied between appointments. Further studies are required for the antimicrobial effects of $Ca(OH)_2$, and search for the ideal material and technique to completely clean infected root canals should be continued.
