Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of the S1 reciprocating system and the D-Race retreatment rotary system for filling material removal and the apical extrusion of debris. Materials and Methods: Sixty-four freshly extracted maxillary canines were shaped with size 10 and size 15 K-files, instrumented using ProTaper Gold under irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), obturated according to the principle of thermo-mechanical condensation with gutta-percha and zinc oxide eugenol sealer, and allowed to set for 3 weeks at 37℃. Subsequently, the teeth were divided into a control group (n = 4), the D-Race rotary instrument group (n = 30), and the S1 reciprocating instrument group (n = 30). After classical retreatment, the canals were subjected to a complementary approach with the XP-Endo Shaper. Desocclusol was used as a solvent, and irrigation with 2.5% NaOCl was performed. Each group was divided into subgroups according to the timing of radiographic readings. The images were imported into a software program to measure the remaining filling material, the apical extrusion, and the root canal space. The data were statistically analyzed using the Z-test and JASP graphics software. Results: No significant differences were found between the D-Race and S1 groups for primary retreatment; however, using a complementary cleaning method increased the removal of remnant filling (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Classical removal of canal filling material may not be sufficient for root canal disinfection, although a complementary finishing approach improved the results. Nevertheless, all systems left some debris and caused apical extrusion.

초음파진동과 열을 이용하는 초음파 금관충전법의 근관페쇄효과를 연구하기 위하여 색소회복법(dye recovery method)에 기초한 분광광도계 측정법으로 근단공 누출정도를 정량적으로 측정하였다. 발거된 상하악 중절치 및 측절치에서 치관을 절제한 120개의 치근에 재래식 방법으로 근관형성을 하고 측방가압법, McSpadden 근관충전법 및 초음파 근관충전법으로 근관을 충전한 후 $37^{\circ}C$ 항온기내에서 2% methylene blue에 10일간 침지시킨 다음 색소용출을 위해 60% 질산에 용해시키고 색소회복법에 의한 분광광도계 측정을 시행한 후 검량선에 의한 누출량을 산출하여 통계학적으로 상호비교 하였다. 초음파 근관충전법의 색소침투량은 sealer 사용유무와는 관계없이 측방가압충전법과 유사하게 나타났고 McSpadden 충전법은 측방가압법보다 색소 침투량이 더 많이 나타났다. 측방가압풍전법과 초음파 근관충전법에서는 sealer를 병용시 근관폐쇄효과는 양호하였으나, McSpadden 근관충전법에서는 sealer 사용유무에 따른 근관폐쇄효파는 별 차이가 없었다.

Restoration of severly damaged teeth after endodontic treatment had been an interest to many dentists, and it is a fact that there have been lots of studies about it. In these days, although we have used Para-Post, pins, threaded steel post, cast gold post and core, and so on, as a method of restoration frequently, it has been in controversy with the influence of them on the teeth and surrounding periodontal tissue. In this study, we assume that the crown of the upper incisor have severly damaged, so, after the root canal therapy, 4 types of restoration had been carried out; 1) coronal-radicular amalgam restoration, 2) after setting up the Para-Post, restore with composite resin core only, 3) after setting up the Para-Post; restore with amalgam core, then cover with the PPM crown 4) after setting up the Para-Post, restore with composite core, then cover with the PPM crown. After restoration, in order to observe the concentration of stress at internal portion of the teeth and the sourrounding periodontal tissue, developing a 2-dimensional finite element model of labiopalatal section, then loading forces from 3 direction - direction of 45 degrees from lingual side near the incisal edge, horizontal direction from labial height of contour, vertical direction at the incisal edge-were applied. The analyzed results were as follows: 1. Stress of the normal central incisor was concentrated on the dentin aroundpulp chamber, labiocervical portion of a tooth and root apex, but with the alveolar bone, in the case of load from the direction of 45 degrees from lingual side near the incisal edge showed remarkable concentration of stress: 2. Coronal-radicular amalgam technique -showed less concentration of stress on the root and surrounding periodontal tissue than the restoration with the Para-Post. 3. The von Mises equivalent stress on the Para-Post showed maximum value at root-core junction rather than both ends and model with PPM restoration with amalgam core showed the least concentration of stress. Only the force from horizontal direction showed large shear stress on internal portion of the root, root apex and alveolar bone. 4. PPM crown with composite core rarely showed the concentration of stress on root and periodontal tissue. 5. As for alveolar bone, remarkable shear stress was concentrated on labial and palatal side by horizontal load.

The purpose of this study was to compare the initial apical file(IAF) first Ole that fits to the apex in each canal before and after early flaring to analyze if the size of file to fit to the apex would increase after flaring. Eighty anterior teeth with complete apical formation and patent foramens were selected. The samples were randomly divided into 4 groups(GG, OS, GT, PT Group) of 20 teeth each. A file was fit to the apex in each canal and that size recorded. Radicular flaring were completed using different types of instruments. After flaring a file was again fit to the apex in the same manner as before and its size recorded. The results of this study were as follows : 1. The mean diameter of IAF before flaring(file diameters in $mm{\times}10^{-2}$) was $19.81{\pm}8.32$ before and $25.94{\pm}9.21$ after(p<0.05). 2. The increase in diameter of IAF was approximately one file size for all groups. 3. Ranking of increasing diameter of IAF were GG>CT>OS>PT group. There was a statistically significant difference between before and after flaring(p<0.05). 4 Ranking of the time for flaring were GG>GT>OS>PT group. There was a statistically significant difference between GG group and other groups(p<0.05). 5. In the case without change of IAF diameter, they showed decrease in force after flaring when IAF was pulled out from root canal(p<0.05). This study suggested that early radicular flaring increases the file size that is snug at the apex, and awareness of that difference gives the clinician a better sense of canal size. Early flaring of the canal provides better apical size information and with this awareness, a better decision can be made concerning the appropriate final diameter needed for complete apical shaping.

This study was to confirm the influence of intracanal instrumentation whether the pulp infection could be extended to periapical tissue. Fifty three teeth (24 badly decayed and infected, 29 sound teeth) were employed for this experiment and grouped as follows; 1. The specimen taken from the tip of 12 infected pulp in which reamer was inserted to the canal up to apical 1/3 and cultured as long as 48 hours. After 24 hours culture 11 cases were positive and 1 ease was negative but the time of incubation elapsed as 48 hours a negative case turned to positive. 2. Broth immersed paper disc was placed for 1 minute on the tip of 12 infected teeth with a reamer inserted to the apical end and cultured as usual manner in the incubator. At 24 hour culture the growth was significant in 9 cases and after 48 hours total 12 cases were positive. 3. Reamer was inserted to apical 1/3 on 14 sterile pulp canals and specimens obtained from the root tip were cultured for 24 and 48 hours. The results on both group were negative. 4. Similar maner with No.3 except reamer tip was rest exactly at the apex revealed only 2 cases of positive at 48 hour culture. 5. The tip of 24 reamers which reached to apical 1/3 and apex of infected canal were cultured for 24 and 48 hours. At 24 hour culture the growth was evident. 6. The tip of 14 reamers which inserted to apical 1/3 of sterile canal showed negative at 24 hour culture. The 15 cases of the tip which reached to the apex of sterile canal were found negative except 3 positive cases at 48 hour culture.

Screw-in effect는 니켈-티타늄 전동 파일을 사용한 근관형성시 나타나는 현상으로 근관형성을 어렵게 한다. 이 연구의 목적은 다양한 니켈-티타늄 전동 파일들 사이의 screw-in effect를 비교하고자 하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 여섯 가지의 다른 니켈-티타늄 전동 파일 기구들, 즉, $K3^{TM}$ (SybronEndo, Glendora, CA USA), $M_{two}$(VDW GmbH, Munchen, Germany), 삭제능이 있는 첨단을 가진 것과 삭제능이 없는 첨단을 가진 NRT (Mani Inc., Shioya-gun, Japan), ProFile$^{(R)}$ (Dentsply-Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland), 그리고 ProTaper$^{(R)}$ (Dentsply-Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland)가 사용되었다. 기구가 동일한 경사도와 크기를 가지게 하기 위해, 각 기구는 경사도 0.06, size 20을 선택하였으며, ProTaper$^{(R)}$의 경우에는 이와 유사한 S2를 사용하였다. 각 기구당 10개씩 총 60개의 투명레진 블록의 모조 단일 만곡근관(REF A0177, Dentsply-Maillefer, Ballaiguez, Switzerland)에서, 전동파일의 회전속도는 분당 300회전으로 하고, 단일 pecking 동작이 되게 하여 기구조작을 하였다. 장치를 고안하여 일정한 힘의 pecking 동작을 재현하고 screw-in effect의 힘을 측정하였다. 고안한 장치의 dynamometer가 근관형성 과정동안 screw-in force를 측정하였고, 기록된 data는 고안된 소프트웨어를 이용하여 컴퓨터에 저장되었다. 데이터는 one-way ANOVA로 통계처리를 하였고, Tukey's multiple range test를 사용하여 95% 수준에서 유의성을 검정하였다. ProTaper$^{(R)}$가 가장 큰 screw-in effect를 나타내었다(p < 0.001). $K3^{TM}$는 $M_{two}$와 ProFile$^{(R)}$ 보다 큰 screw-in effect를 나타내었다(p < 0.001). 그러나 $M_{two}$, NRT와 ProFile$^{(R)}$ 사이에서는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았고(p > 0.05), 삭제능이 있는 첨단을 가진 NRT와 삭제능을 가지지 않는 첨단을 가진 NRT 사이에도 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 이상의 연구결과를 통해 볼 때, 실험에 사용된 수종의 Ni-Ti 전동파일들 사이에서 screw-in effect의 차이가 나타날 것으로 보이며. 특히, Ni-Ti 전동파일의 radial lands와 rake angle이 screw-in effect의 차이를 나타낼 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a useful diagnostic tool for identification of both internal and external root configurations. This case report describes the endodontic management of a lateral incisor with both dens invaginatus and external root irregularity by using CBCT. Nonsurgical endodontic retreatment was performed on the lateral incisor with dens invaginatus. A perforation through the dens invaginatus and external concavity was repaired using mineral trioxide aggregate. After 18 mon of follow-up, there were no clinical symptoms. Recall radiographs appeared normal and showed healing of the periapical pathosis. The understanding of both internal root canal configuration and external root irregularity using CBCT can ensure predictable and successful results.
