The aim of periodontal therapy is a removal of a bacterial plaque butthe instrumentation for plaque control has two nature : removal of a bacterial plaque and increase of surface roughness. Complication of instrumentation is enable to damage to the root surface and artificial crown. Therefore this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of repeated instrumentation on the marginal portion of artificial crown. Fifteen proximal surfaces of ten extracted periodontally diseased maxillary first molars were used. The finish line was placed on the root surface, and then the crown was casted and cemented in usual manner. Three kinds of instruments: hand curet, ultrasonic scaler, and ultrasonic curet were used. After instrumentation, final polishing was done with rubber cup and pumice. And surface changes were evaluated by stereomicroscope and scannig probe microscope. Roughness was increased after instrumentation in all groups, and was decreased after polishing except ultrasonic scaler group. Roughness in the ultrasonic scaler group was lower than others, and roughness after polishing in the hand curet group was lower than others. These results indicate that polishing procedure is recommended, because periodontalinstruments increase the surface roughness and induce the irreversible damage to the marginal portion.

Instrumentation for periodontal therapy may induce marginal damage which increases plaque accumulation and result in periodontal disease. But there have not been many reports of instrumentations on the artificial crown so far. Therefore this study is conducted to evaluate the effects of various repeated instrumentations on the porcelain crown marginal portion. Of the 10 extracted periodontally diseased maxillary first premolars, were 12 proximal surface used in this study. The finishing line of the preparation was placed on the root surface below CEJ and then the crown was cast and cemented in usual manner. Every 4 surfaces of the 3 instruments-curet, ultrasonic scaler, and ultrasonic curet- is used. and four samples used in each instruments. The relevant procedures and measurements were repeated 3 times in each surfaces. Marginal gap is measured by the microscope and surface roughness, Scannig Probe Microscope. Measurements are made at 5 points in each surfaces, making 20 points in each instrument. The results evaluated statistically were as follows 1. As instrumentation was repeated, both marginal gap and roughness were increased in all group 2. In the hand curet, marginal gap was increased every instrumentation and roughness was increased after second. 3. In the ultrasonic scaler, both marginal gap and roughness were increased every instrumentation. 4. In the ultrasonic curet, marginal gap was increased after third instrumentation and roughness was increased after second. 5. Marginal gap and roughness used by the ultrasonic curet were lower than the others and no difference was seen between the hand curet and ultrasonic scaler From the results of this study, the ultrasonic curet was useful in some aspect, but careful instrumentation was needed. Furthermore it was important to minimize the instrumentation through complete periodontal therapy before setting and adequate plaque control.

Purpose: The present study aimed to measure root surface roughness in teeth with periodontitis by a profilometer following root planning with ultrasonic and hand instruments with and without erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Er:YAG) laser irradiation. Methods: Sixty single-rooted maxillary and mandibular teeth, extracted because of periodontal disease, were collected. The crowns and apices of the roots were cut off using a diamond bur and water coolant. The specimens were mounted in an acrylic resin block such that a plain root surface was accessible. After primary evaluation and setting a baseline, the samples were divided into 4 groups. In group 1, the samples were root planned using a manual curette. The group 2 samples were prepared with an ultrasonic scaler. In group 3, after scaling with hand instrumentation, the roots were treated with a Smart 1240D plus Er:YAG laser and in group 4, the roots were prepared with ultrasonic scaler and subsequently treated with an Er:YAG laser. Root surface roughness was then measured by a profilometer (MahrSurf M300+RD18C system) under controlled laboratory conditions at a temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ and 41% humidity. The data were analyzed statistically using analysis of variance and a t-test (P<0.05). Results: Significant differences were detected in terms of surface roughness and surface distortion before and after treatment. The average reduction of the surface roughness after treatment in groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 was 1.89, 1.88, 1.40, and 1.52, respectively. These findings revealed no significant differences among the four groups. Conclusions: An Er:YAG laser as an adjunct to traditional scaling and root planning reduces root surface roughness. However, the surface ultrastructure is more irregular than when using conventional methods.

CCTV(Closed Circuit TeleVision)에 사용되는 CCD(Charge Coupled Device)는 일본의 소니가 시장을 $80\%$ 선점하고 있다. 이는 다른 회사가 따라오지 못할 만큼의 성능을 가지고 있기 때문인데, 문제는 CCD에서 사용되는 clock 주파수가 범용 비디오 인코더에서 사용하는 주파수와 다르다는 것이다. 이 때문에 범용 비디오 인코더를 사용하여 TV 출력을 만들려면, 화면 크기를 조절해 주는 scaler와 2개 clock의 동기를 잡아주는 PLL(Phase Loop Lock)이 필요하다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 scaler와 PLL을 사용하지 않고도 TV 출력 신호를 만들 수 있도록 CCD와 동일한 clock으로 동작하는 비디오 인코더를 제안한다. 본 비디오 인코더는 ITU-R BT.601 4:2:2, ITU-R BT.656 중 하나의 입력을 받아서 NTSC, PAL등의 S-video 신호와 CVBS(Composite Video Baseband Signals)로 바꾸어 준다. 입력 클럭이 가변하기 때문에 인코더 내부에서 사용하는 필터의 특성도 가변되도록 설계하였고 하드웨어 크기를 줄이기 위해서 곱셈기를 사용하지 않는 구조로 설계하였다. 명암 신호와 색차 신호를 위한 디지털 필터의 bit width는 하드웨어 설계 시 발생할 수 있는 오차를 ${\pm}1$ LSB(Least Significant Bit) 이하가 되도록 정하여 양질의 복합 영상 신호를 만들 수 있도록 하였다. 제안된 시스템은 Altera FPGA인 Stratix EP1S80B953C6ES을 이용하여 검증을 수행하였다.

While dental clinics still use the ultrasonic scaling/surgery tool for teeth scaling and cleaning the tool's use is expanding steadily to include treatment of damaged teeth and bone tissue. In this study, a handpiece moving system (HMS) was developed to evaluate bone scaling and cutting in the field of dentistry. The HMS, through a scaling test of bone using a scaler tip, it was able to identify surface damage. Additionally, a thermos-graphic camera was used to observe the temperature distribution that occurred during the bone scaling and cutting process. Consequently, we found that increasing the working load increased the amount of surface damage. Changes in temperature distribution occurred slowly and were maintained within safety bounds for 10 minutes. Going forward, we will compare the HMS performance on scaling and cutting with other devices.

임의의 입력 해상도와 출력 해상도의 비율로 주어지는 영상 축소 스케일러를 구현하려면 축소된 영상에 대한 화소의 좌표를 계산하기 위해서 범용 제산기의 사용이 요구된다. 이 범용 제산기는 매 화소마다 동작해야하기 때문에 처리속도를 높이기 위하여 LUT로 구현되나, LUT의 정밀도에 따라서 하드웨어의 규모가 비대해지는 문제가 야기된다. 본 논문에서는 제산기나 LUT 기반의 제산 연산을 수반하지 않는 영상 축소 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 비교기와 가산기만으로 구성되어 있으며, 임의의 유리수로 표현되는 축소 비율을 허용함에도 불구하고, 기존 방식에 비해서 1/10 이하로 하드웨어 규모를 줄이는 것이 가능하다.
