본 연구에서는 근관형성의 치근단 크기가 근관 충전의 치근단 폐쇄에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 36개의 단근관, 단근치를 대상으로 3가지 치근단 크기 (Master apical file : #25, #40, #60)에 따라 3가지 실험군으로 나누어 $Profile^{(R)}$과 $LightSpeed^{(R)}$를 이용하여 근관을 확대하고, Modified continuous wave technique으로 근관충전을 시행하였다. 미세누출의 측정을 위해 실험군당 10개의 치아를 1주일간 India ink에 넣어 색소 침투를 일으키고 치아를 투명화시켜 미세누출의 정도를 측정하였다. 미세누출에 치근단 크기가 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA를 시행하였고, 사후 검정을 위하여 Student-Newman-Keuls method를 시행하였다. 또한, 치아 단면의 형태를 관찰하기 위하여 색소 침투까지 실행된 각 실험군당 2개의 치아를 근첨 1 mm에서 4 mm까지 1 mm간격으로 수평 절단하고 사진 촬영하였다. 각 실험군에서 측정된 미세누출양을 Krustal-Wallis one-way ANOVA에서 분석한 결과 치근단 크기는 유의성 있게 (P < 0.05) 미세누출에 영향을 미쳤으며 치근단 크기가 클수록 미세누출의 평균간과 표준편차 값은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. Student-Newman-Keuls method를 통한 사후 검정에서 치근단 크기가 #25 - #40, #25 - #60에서 유의 한 차이를 보였으며 #40 - #60간에는 통계적인 유의차는 없었다. 단면형태에서는 대부분의 치아에서 난원형의 근관 형태를 관찰 할 수 있었고, 치근단의 크기가 작을수록 성형된 근관에 불규칙한 내면이 존재하였고 gutta-percha나 sealer로 충전되지 않는 recess의 면적이 증가함을 알 수 있었으며 이러한 recess는 미세누출의 통로가 됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과, Modified continuous wave technique으로 근관충전시 근관 형성된 치근단 크기가 커질수록 보다 일관되고 성공적 인 결과를 예상할 수 있는 근관충전을 시행할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of a calcium hydroxide plug treated with a bonding agent. Ninety extracted human anterior teeth and premolars with single canal were used in this study. Crowns were removed. the canal's were instrumented. and the roots were randomly divided into three groups of 30 each. In control group. a single apical seat was prepared with #60 K file 1mm short of the apex and the root canal was obturated with Gutta-percha and Sealapex by the lateral condensation method. In experimental group 1 and group 2. to prepare an apical isthmus of 1mm in length. the first apical seat was prepared with a #45 K file 1mm short of the anatomical apex and with a #60 K file 2mm short for the second apical seat. Dry calcium hydroxide powders were packed in the apical isthmus with a hand plugger and #60 K file and then. the root canal was obturated with Gutta-percha and Seal apex by the lateral condensation method. In experimental group 2. following an application of the bonding agent to the plug. the root canal was obturated in the same way. The teeth of each group were immersed in a 2% methylene blue dye solution. for 1, 2, and 4 weeks. The distance from the tip of the cone to the deepest penetration was measured using the Tool maker's microscope. The results were as follows : 1. The teeth having the calcium hydroxide plug treated with the dentin bonding agent (experimental group 2) showed the lowest leakage with 1.4705mm and the control group without apical plug(no apical isthmus) showed the highest leakage with 3.1735mm. 2. The control group without apical plug showed higher leakage than experimental group 1 having the calcium hydroxide plug treated without the dentin bonding agent(p>0.05). 3. The control group without apical plug and experimental group 1, having the calcium hydroxide plug treated without the dentin bonding agent. showed higher leakage than experimental group 2. having the calcium hydroxide plug treated with the dentin bonding agent(p<0.001). 4. The immersion time had no significant effect on the degree of leakage. In conclusion, the results showed that the calcium hydroxide plug treated with the dentin bonding agent could decrease the microleakage from the root apex effectively.

This study is on sealing leakage holes where are in landfills to make clay cakes with clay particles, which have a negative surface charge using the method of electrophoresis. Generally, electrophoresis is the motion of charged particles in a colloid under the influence of an electric field; particles with a positive charge go to the cathode and negative to the anode. In this study in order to develop the prevention system of leakages of the leachate in landfills, one-dimensional electrophoresis tests were conducted for determining the properties of the motion of the electrophoresis and cutoff using the method of electrophoresis depending on various the effect factors such as types of clays, concentrations of the clays, and applied electric field. In case of the experiments of determining the optimum clays, Na and Ca-Bentonite, Na and Ca-Montmorillonite, which have greater zeta-potential, cation, exchange capacity as well as ability of cutoff, and Micro-cement inducing cementation were chosen and then the effect of those clays was investigated. Moreover, the properties of the motion and settling of the clays were investigated following electric field varied from 0 to 1V/cm at different concentration of the clays in order to determine both the properties of the motion of the clays and the efficiency of electric field when applying different direct current. Ultimately, the ability of cutoff was examined through measuring the permeability of the clay cakes derived from the one-dimensional electrophoresis tests.

PURPOSE. Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns provide the best treatment option for teeth that have a large or defective restoration. More than 20% of teeth with PFM crowns or bridges require non-surgical root canal treatment (NSRCT). This may be due to the effect of restorative procedures and the possible leakage of bacteria and or their by-products, which leads to the demise of the tooth pulp. Thus, this study was planned to compare the ability of the restorative materials to seal perforated PFM specimens. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study evaluates the ability of amalgam, composite or compomer restorative materials to close perforated PFM specimen's in-vitro. Ninety PFM specimens were constructed using Ni-Cr alloys and feldspathic porcelain, and then they were divided into 3 groups: amalgam (A), composite + Exite adhesive bond (B) and compomer + Syntac adhesive bond (C). All the PFM samples were embedded in an acrylic block to provide complete sealing of the hole from the bottom side. After the aging period, each group was further divided into 3 equal subgroups according to the thermocycling period (one week for 70 cycles, one month for 300 cycles and three months for 900 cycles). Each subgroup was put into containers containing dye (Pelikan INK), one maintained at $5^{\circ}C$ and the other at $55^{\circ}C$, each cycle for 30 sec time. The data obtained was analyzed by SPSS, 2006 using one way ANOVA test and student t-test and significant difference level at (P<.01). RESULTS. The depth of dye penetration was measured at the interfaces of PFM and filling materials using Co-ordinate Vernier Microscope. The lowest levels of the dye penetration for the three groups, as well as subgroups were during the first week. The values of dye leakage had significantly increased by time intervals in subgroups A and C. CONCLUSION. It was seen that amalgam showed higher leakage than composite while compomer showed the lowest level of leakage.

Objectives: In order to improve the working environment and solve the complaints, many efforts have been made to remove the odor from the industrial process. There are many disposal methods to remove odor, but there are many disadvantages and inadequate applications. The Purpose of this study was to develop a bag-filer system for odor removal using powder adsorbent. Methods: The bag-filter system is composed of a shear bag filter, an absorbent spraying system and an absorbent circulation system. The spraying absorbent system was connected with the inlet duct of the shear bag filter for inputting adsorbent. And the absorbent circulation system can transport the collecting adsorbent from hoper to the inlet duct of the system. As a result, the adsorbent can remove odor with recycling in the system. Also affective factors like the powdered absorbent combination and injection method was researched for maximization of system efficiency. The study was conducted in two stages. The first step was testing equipment made and the second is to evaluate the efficiency of the odor control by connecting to the actual odor generation process. Results: Both experiment stages showed efficient odor control ability. The adsorption efficiency of the system is demonstrated and the odor was adsorbed well by the powder adsorbent. It is essential to accurately understand the characteristics of the odorous and use the appropriate adsorbent. Although the powder adsorbent was used in the experiment, the problem of scattering did not occur due to the high degree of system sealing. Also the system manufactured in this study was designed to recycle the adsorbent, so adsorbent reuse or batch processing is convenient. Conclusions: The applicability of the system has been proven through this research. Customized systems for industrial process and the appropriate adsorbent base on the characteristics of pollutant generation will show efficient odor collection ability.

One of the biggest problems affecting bridges is the transverse cracking and deterioration of concrete bridge decks. The causes of early age cracking are primarily attributed to plastic shrinkage, temperature effects, autogenous shrinkage, and drying shrinkage. The cracks can be influenced by material characteristics, casting sequence, formwork, climate conditions, geometry, and time dependent factors. The cracking of bridge decks not only creates unsightly aesthetic condition but also greatly reduces durability. It leads to a loss of functionality, loss of stiffness, and ultimately loss of structural safety. This investigation consists of field, laboratory, and analytical phases. The experimental and field testing investigate the early age transverse cracking of bridge decks and evaluate the use of sealant materials. The research identifies suitable materials, for crack sealing, with an ability to span cracks of various widths and to achieve performance criteria such as penetration depth, bond strength, and elongation. This paper also analytically examines the effect of a wide range of parameters on the development of cracking such as the number of spans, the span length, girder spacing, deck thickness, concrete compressive strength, dead load, hydration, temperature, shrinkage, and creep. The importance of each parameter is identified and then evaluated. Also, the AASHTO Standard Specification limits liveload deflections to L/800 for ordinary bridges and L/1000 for bridges in urban areas that are subject to pedestrian use. The deflection is found to be an important parameter to affect cracking. A set of recommendations to limit the transverse deck cracks in bridge decks is also presented.
