The interfacial bonding energy between laser surface treated HA layer and Ti alloy substrate was investigated using a mechanical push-out tester. The initial slope of shear-stress and reduced displacement curves, maximum interfacial bond strength and bonding energy were calculated from results of the push-out test. The calculated initial slpoes are 38 MPa for the Ti alloy(A), 65 MPa for the sandblast finished specimen(B), 95 MPa for the HA plasma spray coated specimen and 49 MPa for the laser surface treated specimen(D). The maximum interfacial bonding strength are 3 MPa for the A, 19 MPa for the B, 20 MPa for the C, 10 MPa for the D. The interfacial bonding energies are $3.3\times10^{-9}J/mm^2$ for the A, $15.5\times10^{-9}J/mm^2$ for the B, $15.6\times10^{-9}J/mm^2$ for the C and $18.3\times10^{-9}J/mm^2$ for the D. Microscopic observation shows that the breaking of the laser treated specimen had been occured through the boundary between HA layer and polymer resin, but the untreated specimen had been occured through the inside of HA coating layer.

PURPOSE. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of surface treatments on the bond strengths between polymer-containing restorative materials and two dual-cure resin cements. MATERIALS AND METHODS. In the present study, rectangular samples prepared from Lava Ultimate (LU) and Vita Enamic (VE) blocks were used. The specimen surfaces were treated using CoJet sandblasting, 50 ㎛ Al₂O₃ sandblasting, % 9 HF (hydrofluoric) acid, ER,Cr:YSGG laser treatment, and Z-Prime. Dual-cure resin cements (TheraCem and 3M RelyX U 200) were applied on each specimen's treated surface. A micro-tensile device was used to evaluate shear bond strength. Statistical analysis was performed using the SAS 9.4v3. RESULTS. While the bond strength using TheraCem with LU or VE was not statistically significant (P=.164), the bond strength using U200 with VE was statistically significant (P=.006). In the TheraCem applied VE groups, Z-Prime and HF acid were statistically different from CoJet, Laser, and Sandblast groups. In comparison of TheraCem used LU group, there was a statistically significant difference between HF acid and other surface treatments. CONCLUSION. The bonding performance between the restorative materials and cements were material type-dependent and surface treatment had a large effect on the bond strength. Within the limitations of the study, the use of both U200 and TheraCem may be suggested if Z-prime was applied to intaglio surfaces of VE. The cementation of LU using TheraCem is suitable after HF acid conditioning of the restoration surfaces.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM. A number of studies about the nano-treated surfaces of implants have been conducting along with micro-treated surfaces of implants. PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to get information for the clinical use of nano-treated surfaces compared with micro-treated surfaces by measuring removal torque and analyzing histological characteristics after the placement of various surface-treated implants on femurs of dogs. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Machined surface implants were used as a control group. 4 nano-treated surface implants and 3 micro-treated surface implants [resorbable blast media surface (RBM), sandblast and acid-etched surface (SAE), anodized RBM surface] were used as experimental groups. Removal torque values of implants were measured respectively and the histological analyses were conducted on both 4weeks and 8weeks after implant surgery. The surfaces of removed implants after measuring removal torque values were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at 8 weeks. RESULTS. 1. Removal torque values of the nano-treated groups were lower than those of micro-treated groups. 2. Removal torque values were similar in the anodized RBM surface groups. 3. On the histological views, there was much of bone formation at 8 weeks, but there was no difference between 4 and 8 weeks, and between the types of implant surfaces as well. CONCLUSION. it is suggested that implant topography is more effective in removal torque test than surface chemistry. To get better clinical result, further studies should be fulfilled on the combined effect of surface topography and chemistry for the implant surface treatments.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM. A few of studies which compared and continuously measured the stability of various surface treated implants in the same individual had been performed. PURPOSE. We aim to find the clinical significance of surface treatments by observing the differences in the stabilization stages of implant stability. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Eight different surface topographies of dental implants were especially designed for the present study. Machined surface implants were used as a control group. 4 nano-treated surface implants(20 nm $TiO_2$ coating surface, heat-treated 80 nm $TiO_2$ coating surface, CaP coating surface, heat treated CaP coating surface) and 3 micro-treated surface implants [resorbable blast media(RBM) surface, sandblast and acid-etched(SAE) surface, anodized RBM surface] were used as experiment groups. All 24 implants were placed in 3 adult dogs. $Periotest^{(R)}$ & ISQ values measured for 8 weeks and all animals were sacrificed at 8 weeks after surgery. Then the histological analyses were done. RESULTS. In PTV, all implants were stabilized except 1 failed implants. In ISQ values, The lowest stability was observed at different times for each individual. The ISQ values were showed increased tendency after 5 weeks in every groups. After 4 to 5 weeks, the values were stabilized. There was no statistical correlation between the ISQ values and PTV. In the histological findings, the bone formation was observed to be adequate in general and no differences among the 8 surface treated implants. CONCLUSIONS. In this study, the difference in the stability of the implants was determined not by the differences in the surface treatment but by the individual specificity.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of surface treatment and composition of reinforcement material on fracture strength of fiber reinforced composite inlay bridges. The materials used for this study were I-beam, U-beam TESCERA ATL system and ONE STEP(Bisco, IL, USA). Two kinds of surface treatments were used; the silane and the sandblast. The specimens were divided into 11 groups through the composition of reinforcing materials and the surface treatments. On the dentiform, supposing the missing of Maxillary second pre-molar and indirect composite inlay bridge cavities on adjacent first pre-molar disto-occlusal cavity, first molar mesio-occlusal cavity was prepared with conventional high-speed inlay bur. The reinforcing materials were placed on the proximal box space and build up the composite inlay bridge consequently. After the curing, specimen was set on the testing die with ZPC. Flexural force was applied with universal testing machine (EZ-tester; Shimadzu, Japan). at a cross-head speed of 1 mm/min until initial crack occurred. The data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA/Scheffes post-hoc test at 95% significance level. Groups using I-beam showed the highest fracture strengths (p<0.05) and there were no significant differences between each surface treatment (p>0.05) Most of the specimens in groups that used reinforcing material showed delamination. 1. The use of I-beam represented highest fracture strengths (p<0.05) 2. In groups only using silane as a surface treatment showed highest fracture strength, but there were no significant differences between other surface treatments (p>0.05). 3. The reinforcing materials affect the fracture strength and pattern of composites inlay bridge. 4 The holes at the U-beam did not increase the fracture strength of composites inlay bridge.

Statement of problem: Titanium has many advantages of high biocompatibility, physical properties, low-weight, low price and radiolucency, but it is incompatible with conventional dental porcelain due to titanium's oxidative nature. Many previous studies have shown that they used the method of sandblast for surface treatment prior to porcelain application, the researches are processing about the method of acid etching or surface coating. Purpose: The purpose of this research is to study the effect on bond strength of surface roughness between titanium and porcelain with the same surface topography. Material and method: In this study, we evaluated the bond strength by using 3-point bending test based on ISO 9693 after classified 8 groups - group P : polished with #1200 grit SiC paper, group S10 : $1.0{\mu}m$ surface roughness with sandblasting, group S15 : $1.5{\mu}m$ surface roughness with sandblasting, group S20 : $2.0{\mu}m$ surface roughness with sandblasting, group S25 : $2.5{\mu}m$ surface roughness with sandblasting, group S30 : $3.0{\mu}m$ surface roughness with sandblasting, group S35 : $3.5{\mu}m$ surface roughness with sandblasting, group E : $1.0{\mu}m$ surface roughness with HCl etching. Results: Within the confines of our research, the following results can be deduced. 1. In the results of 3-point bending test, the bond strength of sandblasting group showed significant differences from one of polishing group, acid etching group(P<.05). 2. The bond strength of sandblasting groups did not show significant differences. 3. After surface treatments, the group treated with sandblasting showed irregular aspect formed many undercuts, in the SEM photographs. The bond strength of sandblasting group was higher than 25 MPa, the requirement of ISO 9693. Conclusion: In above results, bond strength of titanium and low-fusing porcelain is influenced more to surface aspect than surface roughness. And titanium has clinically acceptable bond strength below surface roughness of $3.5{\mu}m$.

Some solutions to several major problems in ZMR such as agglomeration of polysilicon, slips and local substrate melting are described. Experiments are performed with varying polysilicon thickness and capping oxide thickness. The aggmeration can be eliminated when nitrogen is introduced at the capping oxide layer-to-polysilicon interface and polysilicon-to-buried oxide layer interface by annealing the SOI samples at $1100^{\circ}$ in $NH_3$ ambient for three hours. The slips and local substrate melting are removed when the back surface of silicon substrate is sandblasted to produce the back surface roughness of about $20{\mu}m$. The subboundary spacing increases with increasing polysilicon thickness and the uniformity of recrystallized SOI film thickness improves with increasing capping oxide thickness, improving the quality of recrystallized SOI film. When the polysilicon thickness is about $1.0{\mu}m$ and the capping oxide thickness is $2.5{\mu}m$, the thickness variation of the recrystallized SOI film is about ${\pm}200{\AA}$ and the subboundary spacing is about $70-120{\mu}m$.

Purpose: This study evaluated the effect of nonthermal plasma treatment on the bond strength of autopolymerizing relining resin to the injection molded thermoplastic denture base resins (TDBRs) with different surface treatments. Materials and methods: Acrylic Resin (Acrytone), Polyester (Estheshot-Bright), Polyamide (Valplast) and Polypropylene (Weldenz) were subjected to various surface treatments: No treatment, Nonthermal plasma, Sandblasting, Sandblasting and nonthermal plasma. Specimens were bonded using an autopolymerizing relining resin. Shear bond strength was tested using universal testing machine with crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Statistical analysis by two-way analysis of variance with Tukey's test post hoc was used. Results: Acrytone showed significantly higher shear bond strength value among other TDBR group while Weldenz had the lowest. The sandblasting and nonthermal plasma condition had significantly higher shear bond strength value in all of the resin groups (P < .05). Conclusion: The use of nonthermal plasma treatment showed limited effect on the shear bond strength between TDBRs and relining resin, and combination of nonthermal plasma and sandblasting improved the shear bond strength between TDBR and reline material.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of surface treatment of porcelain on tensile bond strength. To accomplish this purpose, this study was carried out with 120 samples which were divided into 12 groups with each 10 samples, and the first group was not surface treated, groups 2 through 5 underwent single surface treatment, and groups 6 through 12 underwent compound surface treatment. The results were as follows : 1. In statistic, all the single surface-treated groups showed higher tensile bond strength than the non surface-treated group and the sandblasted group showed the highest tensile bond strength as $10.34{\pm}2.50MPa$. 2. All the compound surface-treated groups showed no noticeable difference in the tensile bond strength(9-11.5MPa). 3. In statistic, no significant difference was found between the sandblasted group and the compound surface-treated groups. 4. There was no fracture of porcelain while testing in this study. Above study demonstrated that compound surface treatment or sandblasing, if used single surface treatment, should be employed to guarantee successful clinical application.

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).
