PURPOSE. This study assessed the physical and mechanical properties of interim crown materials fabricated using various digital techniques after accelerated aging. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Three groups of interim dental restorative materials (N = 20) were tested. The first group (CO) was fabricated using a conventional manual method. The second group (ML) was prepared from prefabricated resin blocks for the milling method and cut into specimen sizes using a cutting disc. The third group (3D) was additively manufactured using a digital light-processing (DLP) 3D printer. Aging acceleration treatments using toothbrushing and thermocycling simulators were applied to half of the specimens corresponding to three years of usage in the oral environment (N = 10). Surface roughness (Ra), Vickers microhardness, 3-point bending, sorption, and solubility tests were performed. A 2-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Fisher's multiple comparison test were used to compare the results among the groups. RESULTS. The mean surface roughness (Ra) of the resin after accelerated aging was significantly higher in the CO and ML groups than that before aging, but not in the 3D group. All groups showed reduced hardness after accelerated aging. The flexural strength values were highest in the 3D group, followed by the ML and CO groups after accelerated aging. Accelerated aging significantly reduced water sorption in the ML group. CONCLUSION. According to the tested material and 3D printer type, both 3D-printed and milled interim restoration resins showed higher flexural strength and modulus, and lower surface roughness than those prepared by the conventional method after accelerated aging.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded to three-dimensionally (3D)-printed materials after various surface treatments and artificial aging compared with that bonded to computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-milled materials. Methods: Eighty cylindrical specimens were 3D printed and divided into the following four subgroups (n = 20 each) according to the surface treatment and artificial aging procedure. Group A, sandblasted with 50 ㎛ aluminum oxide particles (SA) and aging; group B, sandblasted with 30 ㎛ silica-coated alumina particles (CO) and aging; group C, SA without aging; and group D, CO without aging. For the control group, 20 CAD-CAM PMMA-milled cylindrical specimens were sandblasted with SA and aged. The SBS was measured using a universal testing machine (0.25 mm/min), examined at ×2.5 magnification for failure mode classification, and statistically analyzed (p = 0.05). Results: The retention obtained with the 3D-printed materials (groups A-D) was higher than that obtained with the PMMA-milled materials (control group). However, no significant difference was found between the study and control groups, except for group C (SA without aging), which showed significantly higher retention than the control group (PMMA-SA and thermocycling) (p = 0.037). Study groups A-D predominantly exhibited a cohesive specimen mode, indicating specimen fracture. Conclusions: Orthodontic brackets bonded to 3D-printed materials exhibit acceptable bonding strengths. However, 3D-printed materials are prone to cohesive failure, which may result in crown fractures.

Objectives: This study evaluated the effects of low and moderate concentrations of triple antibiotic paste (TAP) and double antibiotic paste (DAP) loaded into a hydrogel system on crown discoloration and explored whether application of an adhesive bonding agent prevented crown discoloration. Materials and Methods: Intact human molars (n = 160) were horizontally sectioned 1 mm apical to the cementoenamel junction. The crowns were randomized into 8 experimental groups (calcium hydroxide, Ca[OH]₂; 1, 10, and 1,000 mg/mL TAP and DAP; and no medicament. The pulp chambers in half of the samples were coated with an adhesive bonding agent before receiving the intracanal medicament. Color changes (ΔE) were detected by spectrophotometry after 1 day, 1 week, and 4 weeks, and after 5,000 thermal cycles, with ΔE = 3.7 as a perceptible threshold. The 1-sample t-test was used to determine the significance of color changes relative to 3.7. Analysis of variance was used to evaluate the effects of treatment, adhesive, and time on color change, and the level of significance was p < 0.05. Results: Ca(OH)₂ and 1 and 10 mg/mL DAP did not cause clinically perceivable tooth discoloration. Adhesive agent use significantly decreased tooth discoloration in the 1,000 mg/mL TAP group up to 4 weeks. However, adhesive use did not significantly improve coronal discoloration after thermocycling when 1,000 mg/mL TAP was used. Conclusions: Ca(OH)₂ and 1 and 10 mg/mL DAP showed no clinical discoloration. Using an adhesive significantly improved coronal discoloration up to 4 weeks with 1,000 mg/mL TAP.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the interface between a calcium silicate cement (CSC), Biodentine and dental adhesives in terms of sealing ability. Materials and Methods: Microleakage test: 160 standardized class II cavities were prepared on 80 extracted human molars. The cavities were filled with Biodentine and then divided into 2 experimental groups according to the time of restoration: composite resin obturation 15 minutes after Biodentine handling (D0); restoration after 7 days (D7). Each group was then divided into 8 subgroups (n = 5) according to the adhesive system used: etch-and-rinse adhesive (Prime & Bond); self-etch adhesive 2 steps (Optibond XTR and Clearfil SE Bond); self-etch adhesive 1 step (Xeno III, G-aenial Bond, and Clearfil Tri-S Bond); and universal used as etch-and-rinse or self-etch (ScotchBond Universal ER or SE). After thermocycling, the teeth were immersed in a silver nitrate solution, stained, longitudinally sectioned, and the Biodentine/adhesive percolation was quantified. Scanning electron microscopic observations: Biodentine/adhesive interfaces were observed. Results: A tendency towards less microleakage was observed when Biodentine was etched (2.47%) and when restorations were done without delay (D0: 4.31%, D7: 6.78%), but this was not significant. The adhesives containing 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate monomer showed the most stable results at both times studied. All Biodentine/adhesive interfaces were homogeneous and regular. Conclusions: The good sealing of the CSC/adhesive interface is not a function of the system adhesive family used or the cement maturation before restoration. Biodentine can be used as a dentine substitute.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of aging on the marginal quality of glass hybrid (GH) material used to elevate dentin gingival margins, and to analyze the consistency of the results obtained by 3 in vitro methods. Materials and Methods: Ten teeth received compound class II cavities with subgingival margins. The dentin gingival margins were elevated with GH, followed by resin composite. The GH/gingival dentin interfaces were examined through digital microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) using resin replicas, and according to the World Dental Federation (FDI) criteria. After initial evaluations, all teeth were subjected to 10,000 thermal cycles, followed by repeating the same marginal evaluations and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis for the interfacial zone of 2 specimens. Marginal quality was expressed as the percentage of continuous margin at ×200 for microscopic techniques and as the frequency of each score for FDI ranking. Data were analyzed using the paired sample t-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and Pearson and Spearmen correlation coefficients. Results: None of the testing techniques proved the significance of the aging factor. Moderate and strong significant correlations were found between the testing techniques. The EDS results suggested the presence of an ion-exchange layer along the GH/gingival dentin interface of aged specimens. Conclusions: The marginal quality of the GH/dentin gingival interface defied aging by thermocycling. The replica SEM and FDI ranking results had stronger correlations with each other than either showed with the digital microscopy results.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the fracture resistance, surface hardness, and color stain of 3D printed, CAD-CAM milled, and conventional interim materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 80 specimens were fabricated from auto polymerizing polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), bis-acryl composite resin, CAD-CAM polymethyl methacrylate resin (milled), and 3D printed composite resin (printed) (n = 20). Forty of them were crown-shaped, on which fracture strength test was performed (n = 10). The others were disc-shaped specimens (10 mm × 2 mm) and divided into two groups for surface hardness and color stainability tests before and after thermal cycling in coffee solution (n = 10). Color parameters were measured with a spectrophotometer before and after each storage period, and color differences (CIEDE2000 [DE00]) were calculated. The distribution of variables was measured with the Kolmogorov Smirnov test, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Tukey HSD, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U tests were used in the analysis of quantitative independent data. Paired sample t-test was used in the analysis of dependent quantitative data (P < .05). RESULTS. The highest crown fracture resistance values were determined for the 3D printed composite resin (P < .05), and the lowest were observed in the bis-acryl composite resin (P < .05). Before and after thermal cycling, increase in mean hardness values were observed only in 3D printed composite resin (P < .05) and the highest ΔE₀₀ value were observed in PMMA resin for all materials (P < .05). CONCLUSION. 3D printing and CAD-CAM milled interim materials showed better fracture strength. After the coffee thermal cycle, the highest surface hardness value was again found in 3D printing and CAD-CAM milled interim samples and the color change of the bis-acryl resin-based samples and the additive production technique was higher than the PMMA resin and CAD-CAM milled resin samples.

Enamel microabrasion은 염산과 연마제를 사용하여 치아의 착색을 제거하는 술식으로서, 그 효과는 법랑질 표층에 국한된다. Enamel microabrasion으로 모든 착색이 치료 가능한 것은 아니므로, 착색이 깊을 경우에는 microabrasion 후에도 제거되지 않고 남은 착색부위를 광중합 복합레진을 사용해 수복할 것이 권장된다. 본 연구의 목적은 enamel microabrasion의 방법과 시간이 법랑질에 대한 복합레진의 전단결합강도에 미치는 영향을 조사하는 것이었다. 아무런 처치도 하지 않은 대조군을 1군으로 하였고, 18% 염산과 fine pumice의 혼합물을 hand applicator로 치면에 5초씩 5, 10회 적용시킨 것을 각각 2, 3군으로 하였다. 10% 염산과 연마제의 혼합물인 기성품 PREMA를 10 : 1 gear reduction handpiece로 20초씩 5, 10회 적용시킨 것을 각각 4, 5군으로 하였다 여기에 37% 인산으로 부식 후 복합레진을 결합시켜 thermocycling 후 전단결합강도를 측정하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 2군이 가장 높은 결합강도$(24.36{\pm}3.34MPa)$를 나타내었고, 3군이 가장 낮은 결합강도$(19.35{\pm}3.43MPa)$를 보였다. 전단결합강도는 2>4>5>1>3군의 순서로 감소하였다. 2. 2군은 1군과 3군보다 통계학적으로 유의성 있게 높은 결합강도를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 3. 염산과 pumice로 enamel microabrasion을 시행한 2, 3군과 PREMA를 사용한 4, 5군 사이에는 유의한 결합강도의 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 4. 파절면 검사에서, adhesive failure는 3, 4군에서 나타났고, cohesive failure는 1, 2, 3, 4군에서 관찰되었다. 5군에서는 mixed failure만이 관찰되었다. 5. SEM 관찰에서, 염산과 pumice로 enamel microabrasion을 시행한 2, 3군에서는 인산으로 부식한 것과 비슷한 표면 양상이 관찰되었고, PREMA로 처리한 4, 5군에서는 1군과 흡사한 매끈한 표면양상이 관찰되었다. 각 군의 시편을 인산으로 부식시킨 다음에는 전형적인 산부식 후의 표면양상이 관찰되었고, 군간 별다른 차이가 없었다.

본 연구는 상아질 혼성층의 교원섬유를 가수분해하는 효소인 MMPs (Matrix metalloproteinses)의 억제제로 알려진 chlorhexidine (CHX)을 적용 후 결합강도를 측정하였으며, 이를 각각 열순환 처리 후 결합강도를 측정하였다. 또한 주사전자현미경으로 접착계면에서의 파괴 양상을 비교 분석하였다. 우식이 없는 발거한 32개의 제3대구치의 교합면 상아질을 노출시키고 GI그룹에서는 dentin conditioner를 처리 후 2% chlorhexidine을 적용시키고, 산부식 접착제 그룹에서는 인산 산부식을 시행하고 2% chlorhexidine을 적용 후 3단계 산부식형 상아질 접착제 (Scotchbond Multipurpose, SM), 2단계 산부식형 상아질 접착제 (Single Bond, SB)를 도포하고, 자가부식 접착제 그룹에서는 2% chlorhexidine 적용 후 자가부식 상아질 접착제 (Clearfil Tri-S, TS)를 도포한다. 이후 복합 레진 (Z-250)과 GI (Fuji-II LC)를 충전한 시편을 $1\;mm^2$의 단면을 갖는 beam으로 제작하여 열순환 하지 않거나, 10,000회 열순환 ($5\;{\sim}\;55^{\circ}C$)하였다. Universal testing machine (EZ-test; Shimadzu, Japan)에서 cross head speed 1 mm/min로 인장력을 가하여, 미세인장결합강도를 측정하였다. 실험 결과는 유의수준 0.05 level에서 two-way ANOVA를 이용하여 통계분석하였다. 그 후 파절된 시편의 파괴 양상을 현미경 (SEM)으로 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다; 1. 2% CHX을 적용한 모든 실험군에서 상아질과의 미세인장결합강도가 증가하였고, 열순환은 상아질과의 미세인장결합강도를 감소시켰다 (P > 0.05). 2. CHX 적용 후 열순환 한 군은 CHX을 적용하지 않고 열순환한 군에 비하여 상아질과의 미세인장결합강도가 높았으며, 특히 GI와 TS군에서 유의한 차이를 나타내었다 (P < 0.05). 3. 파괴 양상 분석 결과, 혼성층에서의 접착성 파괴를 보이며, CHX을 적용하면 혼성층 기저부에서 상부로 파괴 부위가 옮겨가는 양상을 나타내었다. 이상의 연구 결과를 토대로, MMPs 억제제인 2% CHX은 글래스 아이오노머 시멘트와 상아질 접착제의 초기 미세인장결합강도에는 영향을 미치지 않으며, CHX 적용이 접착내구성을 유지하는데 도움이 되었다.

State of problem : The use of zirconium oxide all-ceramic material provides several advantages, including a high flexural strength(>1000MPa) and desirable optical properties, such as shading adaptation to the basic shades and a reduction in the layer thickness. Along with the strength of the materials, the cementation technique is also important to the clinical success of a restoration. Nevertheless, little information is available on the effect of different surface treatments on the bonding of zirconium high-crystalline ceramics and resin luting agents. Purpose : The aim of this study was to test the effects of surface treatments of zirconium on shear bond strengths between bovine teeth and a zirconia ceramic and evaluate differences among cements Material and methods : 54 sound bovine teeth extracted within a 1 months, were used. They were frozen in distilled water. These were rinsed by tap water to confirm that no granulation tissues have left. These were kept refrigerated at $4^{\circ}C$ until tested. Each tooth was placed horizontally at a plastic cylinder (diameter 20mm), and embedded in epoxy resin. Teeth were sectioned with diamond burs to expose dentin and grinded with #600 silicon carbide paper. To make sure there was no enamel left, each was observed under an optical microscope. 54 prefabricated zirconium oxide ceramic copings(Lava, 3M ESPE, USA) were assigned into 3 groups ; control, airborne-abraded with $110{\mu}m$ $Al_2O_3$ and scratched with diamond burs at 4 directions. They were cemented with a seating force of 10 ㎏ per tooth, using resin luting cement(Panavia $F^{(R)}$), resin cement(Superbond $C&B^{(R)}$), and resin modified GI cement(Rely X $Luting^{(R)}$). Those were thermocycled at $5^{\circ}C$ and $55^{\circ}C$ for 5000 cycles with a 30 second dwell time, and then shear bond strength was determined in a universal test machine(Model 4200, Instron Co., Canton, USA). The crosshead speed was 1 mm/min. The result was analyzed with one-way analysis of variance(ANOVA) and the Tukey test at a significance level of P<0.05. Results : Superbond $C&B^{(R)}$ at scratching with diamond burs showed the highest shear bond strength than others (p<.05). For Panavia $F^{(R)}$, groups of scratching and sandblasting showed significantly higher shear bond strength than control group(p<.05). For Rely X $Luting^{(R)}$, only between scratching & control group, significantly different shear bond strength was observed(p<.05). Conclusion : Within the limitation of this study, Superbond $C&B^{(R)}$ showed clinically acceptable shear bond between bovine teeth & zirconia ceramics regardless of surface treatments. For the surface treatment, scratching increased shear bond strength. Increase of shear bond strength by sandblasting with $110{\mu}m$ $Al_2O_3$ was not statistically different.

연구목적: 오늘날 심미적 요구의 증가로 치아색 포스트 코어에 대한 많은 관심이 모아지고 있으며 다양한 연구가 진행 중이다. 현재 화이버 포스트 (ParaPost fiber White, Coltene Whaledent, Cuyahoga Falls, USA), 지르코니아 포스트 (CosmoPost, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schann, Germany) 등에 관한 논문은 다소 나와 있으나 요즘 여러 분야에서 관심을 받고 있는 CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) 방식으로 지르코니아를 가공한 절삭형 지르코니아 포스트 코어에 대한 연구는 많지 않은 실정이다. 이 연구의 목적은 CAD/CAM을 이용한 지르코니아를 비롯하여 근관치료된 치아에서 사용된 세 가지 다른 치아색 포스트 코어에 대해 미세누출 (microleakage)을 비교해 보는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 발치된 건전한 상악 절치 27개를 채택하여 백악법랑질경계 (CEJ)에서 절단하여 근관치료를 시행하고, 세군 (각 9개)으로 나누었다. 각군들은 화이버 포스트와 콤포짓트 레진 코어 (1군), 지르코니아 포스트와 열가압형 세라믹 코어 (2군), CAD/CAM 절삭형 지르코니아 포스트 코어 (3군)로 수복하였다. $5-55^{\circ}C$ 1000회 열순환 처리 (thermocycling)를 시행하고, 2% 메틸렌 블루로 $37^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 염색하였다. 치아장축과 평행하게 순설방향으로 절단하여 미세누출을 현미경과 컴퓨터 프로그램을 사용하여 분석을 하였다. 데이터는 one-way ANOVA와 Scheffe's multiple range test (${\alpha}=0.05$)로 분석하였다. 결과: 모든 군에서 미세누출을 보였으며, 지르코니아 포스트와 열가압형 세라믹 코어군 (2군)에서 치근계면 입구에서는 다소 많은 미세누출을 보였으나 포스트 끝에 이르러서는 거의 미세누출이 없는 결과를 보였다. 화이버 포스트와 콤포짓트 레진 코어군 (1군)과CAD/CAM 절삭형 지르코니아 포스트 코어군 (3군)에서는 부위별로 균등한 미세누출을 보였다. 결론: 화이버 포스트와 콤포짓트 레진 코어군, 지르코니아 포스트와 열가압형 세라믹 코어군, CAD/CAM 절삭형 지르코니아 포스트 코어군 모두에서 미세누출을 보였고, 이 중에서 지르코니아 포스트와 열가압형 세라믹 코어군이 좀 더 큰 미세누출에 대한 저항성을 보였으며 화이버 포스트와 콤포짓트 레진 코어군, CAD/CAM 절삭형 지르코니아 포스트 코어군은 유사한 양상을 보였으나, 각 실험군 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 인정되지 않았다.
