The purpose of this study was to analyse the magnitude and distribution of stresses using a Photoelastic model from and distal - extension removable partial dentures With four designed indirect retainers. The designs of the indirect retainers were as follows : Design No. 1 : Aker's clasp on 1st bicuspid with no indirect retainer. Design No. 2 : Aker's clasp on 1st bicuspid with indirect retainer on canine. Design No. 3 : Extension of the reciprocal arm of Aker's clasp toward incisal rest on canine. Design No. 4 : Connection with the indirect retainer as in No. 2 and extension of reciprocal arm of Aker' s clasp. A photoelastic model was made of the epoxy resin(PL - 1) and hardner(PLH - 1) and coated with plastic cement -1(PC -1) at the lingual surface of the epoxy model and set with chrome - cobalt partial dentures. A unilateral vertical load of 10kg to the right 1st molar and a vertical load of 10kg to the middle portion of the metal bar crossing both the 1st molars of the right and left, were applied. With the use of specially designed jig, fixture; loading device and the reflective circular polariscope, we obtained the following results : 1. When the unilateral vertical load and the vertical load of the middle portion of the metal bar were applied, design No. 2, 3 and 4 exhibited the higher stress concentration at the root apices and their surrounding tissues of the primary and secondary abutment teeth. 2. When the unilateral vertical load applied to design No. 2,3 and 4 the root apices of the primary and secondary abutment teeth and their surrounding tissues and the nonloaded side of edentulous area exhibited and even stress distribution. 3. When the vertical load was applied, the stress concentration fringe in the primary and secondary abutment teeth was in the order of No. 1,4,2 and 3. 4. No.1 and 4 exhibited the higher distrorted stress concentration at the primary teeth and the edentulous area in the nonloaded side. 5. No.2 design reduced the stresses at the apices of the alveoli of the primary abutment teeth bilaterally as well as on the crest of the residual ridge on the nonloaded side. 6. No. 2 design exhibited the most favorable stress distribution.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the removable partial denture prescriptions including surveyed crowns and design of component parts sent to the laboratory technician. A total of 351 casess with prescription forms and master cast in maxillary and mandibular semi-edentulous situations collected from dental laboratory by random sampling were selected for this study. The evaluation and study observed here involved the classification of edentulous situations, status of abutment splinting, form of rest seats and guiding plane of surveyed crows, location of maxillary major connectors and tripodig marks on the master casts. Removable partial denture prescriptions contained (1) general request (upper and lower cast framework), (2) types of metal, (3) location of retainer(retention, lingual bracing, rest area, guiding plane surface), (4) location and type of major connector, (5) relief area and amount, (6) and other specific instructions. The following informations based on the classified groups such as Group I was those cases sent with no real prescriptions. They say 'make a partial.' No prescriptions, no thought beforehand, Group II was those cases sent with a minimal prescriptions. They say 'make a partial with clasps on May be some preparations, usually inadequate. Group III was those cases sent with a moderately good prescription. Adequate but could be much better. No tripoding but it tell what clasps go where. Still not good prescriptions. Group IV was good cases, tripoded with adequate prescriptions and a prescription which exactly describes what is expected from the laboratory. The analyzed results were as follows: 1. The normal form of rest seats and guiding plane of surveyed crowns in Class. I and Class. II edentulous situations on the maxillary cast were observed 31.9% and 27.89%, respectively. The abutment teeth and retainer without occlusal rests of Class. I and Class. II were showed 11.58% and 8.86%, respectively. In mandibular cases, the normal form of rest seats and guiding plane of surveyed crowns showed 27.54% and 8.82% in Class. I and Class. II situation. The abutment teeth and retainer without rest seats were showed 15.19%, respectively. 2. The splinted surveyed crowns of Class. I and Class. II maxillary edentulous situations in distal extension cases were showed 34.51% and 28.85%, but 28.52% and 10.29%, respectively. 3. The location and type of maxillary major connector delineated on the master cast were 66 cases (44.89%). 4. The results of 351 cases were classified as Group I 146(41.59%), Group II 115 (32.76%), Group III 57 (16.23%), and Group IV 33 (9.48%). 5. The delineation of abutment tooth for clasping were 176 cases (50.14%) among total of 351 cases. 6. The delineation of height of contour line were showed 45 cases (12.8%) in Group II, 14 cases (3.98%) in Group III and 33 cases (9.40%) in Group IV with total 92 cases (26.21%). 7. In surveying procedure, the delineation of tripoding marks and reference line were showed 17 cases (4.84%).

Cantilever bridge is widely used by mny clinicians, but its worst mechanical character, so called Class I lever system, makes dentists hesitate to restore the missing tooth with it. Therefore it is important to study stress of the cantilever bridge. In this study, two models of cantilever bridges that restores the missing mandibular second molar with two abutment teeth were constructed. One model was a type of cantilever bridge supported by a normal alveolar bone, the other one was supported by an alveolar bone resorbed to its 1/3 of root length. Maximum bite force(550N) and funtional maximum bite force(300N) were vertically applied to the distal end of the pontic, distal 1/3, and distal half of the pontic. And each force was also applied to centric occlusal contacts as a distributed force. Total 16 loading cases were compared and analyzed with 3-dimensional finite element method. The results were as follows: 1. The stress was concentrated on the joint of the pontic and the retainer, grooves, and distal cervical margin of the posterior retainer. 2. In case of maximum bite force(550N) at the end of the pontic, the risk of fracture at the joint of the pontic and the retainer was high. 3. In case of distributed force in centric occlusion and functional maximum bite force(300N), the stresses were less than the yield strength of the type VI gold for any loading cases. 4. In case of alveolar bone resorption, the occlusal force to the cantilever pontic caused more stress on the root apex and less stress on the alveolar crest region of the distal surface of the posterior abutment. 5. In case of alveolar bone resorption, the displacement was larger than that of normal alveolar bone in all loading cases.

This paper suggests the“infinite-retailer model”to approximate expected backorders per cycle of the One-warehouse N-retailer distribution system where the warehouse holds back some of the replenishment quantity to satisfy retailer backorders at the end of the cycle through direct shipping to customers. The main objective is to show the functional relationship between the warehouse inventory and the expected backorders per cycle. We illustrate the relationship using a uniform demand case.

Statement of problem: In distal extension removable partial denture, the preservation of health of abutment teeth are very important, but they are always subjected to unfavorable stress. Purpose: The purpose of this study was performed to investigate the effects of abutment splinting and design of direct retainer on the stress distribution of abutments in unilateral distal extension removable partial dentures. Material and method: Abutments were splinted by different method. In group 1, autment teeth were not splinted, in group 2, canine and 1st premolar were splinted, and in group 3, canine, 1st and 2nd premolars were all splinted. Three different types of direct retainer such as Akers clasp, RPI clasp, and wrought wire clasp were designed. Strain was measured with Switch & Balance Unit(SB-10, Measurement Group Instruments Division, Raleigh USA) and Strain Indicator(P-3500, Measurement Group Instruments Division, Raleigh, USA) 15kg of vertical and oblique loads was applied at central fossa of missing 2nd molar area. Results : The strain on lingual side of 2nd premolar was the greatest, and abutment splinting induced decrease of strain on buccolingual side of 2nd premolar. The strain of loaded area was decreased by abutment splinting and there was no statistical difference of strain between Group2 and Group 3, and strain on 2nd premolar in wrought wire clasp was the least. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, splinting of two distal abutment teeth is enough for stress distribution widely, and wrought wire clasp was more benefitable than others.

There were many studies that distribute the partial edentulous states and examine the removable partial denture designs in the planning of removable partial denture treatment. This study was performed in the point of removable partial denture prescription to evaluate partial edentulism and its removable partial denture designs. The data was collected from the dental laboratory of each three dental colleges in Seoul and from two dental laboratories only for removable partial dentures as a prescription form. A total of 1411 cases with prescription form collected from dental laboratories were distributed for this study, then 788 cases were selected for this study. The case selection was done according to the contents of prescription form. The selected cases were divided into maxillary arch and mandibular and classified in terms of types of major connector and direct retainer, unbroken anterior teeth, Kennedy classification, the number of remaining teeth, and distribution of age and sex. The analyzed results were as follows : 1. The Kennedy classification I showed highest frequency both in maxilla and mandible. 2. The arch distribution of removable partial denture was 50.08% for maxilla and 49.92% for mandible. 3. The highest frequency in the distribution of direct retainer was the RPA clasp design. 4. The frequency of unbroken anterior 6 was 73.36% for maxilla and 82.30% for mandible. 5. The design of broad palatal strap and lingual bar revealed the highest prevalence in the major connector construction. 6. The mean number of remaining teeth per arch was 8.25 for maxilla and 8.37 for mandible. 7. The mean age of the patients supplied with removable partial denture was 52.25 years for men, 51.68 years for women, 52.11 years for maxilla, and 51.76 years for mandible and women showed more prevalence.

Objective: We compared the shear bond strength (SBS) of lingual retainers bonded to bovine enamel with three different resins using direct and indirect methods. Methods: Both ends of pre-fabricated twisted ligature wires were bonded to bovine enamel surfaces using Light-Core, Tetric N-Flow, or Transbond XT. Phosphoric acid-etched enamel surfaces were primed with One-Step prior to bonding with Light-Core or Tetric N-Flow. Transbond XT primer was used prior to bonding with Transbond XT. After 24 hours in water at $37^{\circ}C$, we performed SBS tests on the samples. We also assigned adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores after debonding and predicted the clinical performance of materials and bonding techniques from Weibull analyses. Results: Direct bonding produced significantly higher SBS values than indirect bonding for all materials. The SBS for Light-Core was significantly higher than that for Tetric N-Flow, and there was no significant difference between the direct bonding SBS of Transbond XT and that of Light-Core. Weibull analysis indicated Light-Core performed better than other indirectly bonded resins. Conclusions: When the SBS of a wire retainer is of primary concern, direct bonding methods are superior to indirect bonding methods. Light-Core may perform better than Transbond XT or Tetric N-Flow when bonded indirectly.

Objective : In "Guanja" there is a clear system with xin and shengren as the central figure, which can be correlated with the united thought can be found in "Huangjenaegyeong". Method : In studying Oriental medicine, we will try to compare the Guanza and Huangjenaegyeong, in that what Sin is doing and how Seongin(聖人) does the work to achieve his prupose, and how Sin has philosophical meaning. Result : Guanja targets a unified government with the king centered, always issues an order, at the same time Guanja survey the system of the military, economy, retainer, people in the gross. In Guanja the Seongin is the ideal king, who understands the four seasons and command in timely, and rule his people using Muui(無爲). Sin is the center which achieve Dao(道) in mankind, and in the government system it is compared as the king to the rellation between king and retainer. "Huangjenaegyeong" is a medicine book which persued the united medical theory and algorithm. It made the general system algorithm, and united many different theories with the Seongin centered, who understand the 天氣 (including four seasons) and can control the human body. In this book, Sin is the center which control other organs. Conclusion : Political philoshphy in Guanja and the united thought in "Huangjenaegyeong" can be correlated in that two both aim for the systematization and the unity.
