The purpose of this study was to investigate the physical effect of tissue conditioner on polymerized acrylic resins. Surface hardness and transverse strength were measured for evaluating physical effect of tissue conditioner on polymerized acrylic resins. 1) To measured surface hardness, the resin specimens($65{\times}10{\times}10mm$ size) of each resin material were made, applied tissue conditioner, stored in $37^{\circ}C$ water for 1 week, and changed tissue conditioner every week for 3 weeks. Surface hardness was measured every week with Shore hardness tester for 4 weeks. 2) To measured transverse strength, the resin specimens($65{\times}10{\times}3mm$ size & $65{\times}10{\times}1.5mm$) of each resin material were made. The specimens were divided into four groups, and measured by universial testing machine. Group I(control group) : The resin specimens were stored in $37^{\circ}C$ water for 5 weeks. Group II : The resin specimens were stored in $37^{\circ}C$ water for 5 weeks, and relined in 1.5mm thickness with same resin. Group III : The resin specimens were stored in $37^{\circ}C$ water for 1 week, applied tissue conditioner in 1.5mm thickness, stored in $37^{\circ}C$ water for 1 week, changed tissue conditioner and water every week for 3 weeks, removed tissue conditioner, reduced 1.5mm thickness from resin surface which was applied tissue conditioner, and relined in 1.5mm thickness with same resin. The following conclusions were obtained : 1. Surface hardness changes of Vertex RS and Vertex SC were not different significantly(p>0.01). 2. Surface hardness of K-33, Tokuso rebase, and Kooliner were decreased(p<0.01). 3. With the exception of Kooliner, transverse strength of all resin materials between control group and groups which applied with tissue conditioner were not different significantly(p>0.01).

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to identify in vitro antimicrobial activity of the tissue conditioner containing silver nanoparticles on microbial strains, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Experimental disc samples ($20.0{\times}3.0$ mm) of tissue conditioner (GC Soft-Liner, GC cooperation, Tokyo, Japan) containing 0.1 - 3.0% silver nanoparticles (0%: control) were fabricated. Samples were placed on separate culture plate dish and microbial suspensions (100 ${\mu}L$) of tested strains were inoculated then incubated at $37^{\circ}C$. Microbial growth was verified at 24 hrs and 72 hrs and the antimicrobial effects of samples were evaluated as a percentage of viable cells in withdrawn suspension (100 ${\mu}L$). Data were recorded as the mean of three colony forming unit (CFU) numerations and the borderline of the antimicrobial effect was determined at 0.1% viable cells. RESULTS. A 0.1% silver nanoparticles combined to tissue conditioner displayed minimal bactericidal effect against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans strains, a 0.5% for fungal strain. Control group did not show any microbial inhibitory effect and there were no statistical difference between 24 hrs and extended 72 hrs incubation time (P > .05). CONCLUSION. Within the limitation of this in vitro study, the results suggest that the tissue conditioner containing silver nanoparticles could be an antimicrobial dental material in denture plaque control. Further mechanical stability and toxicity studies are still required.

이 연구는 임상적으로 많이 쓰이는 3종의 조직양화제(Coe-comfort, GC Soft-Liner, Visco-Gel)의 시간에 따른 체적 안정성을 비교하였다. 시편은 10mm의 반경으로 두께를 1.5mm, 3.0mm로 각각 제작하여 두께에 따른 차이를 비교하였다. 체적의 변화는 시편 제작 후 1시간 (baseline), 12시간, 24시간, 36시간, 3일, 7일에 측정하였다. SAS 6.04 통계 package program을 이용하여 ANOVA분석하였다. 실험한 조직양화제에서는 점탄성을 상실하여 조직양화제를 교체하거나 기공 과정을 하기에 적합한 시간은 변형이 적은 혼합 후 36시간~3일이었다. Tissue conditioner의 종류에 따라 시간의 경과에 따른 탄성 변화량에는 유의할 만한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 조직양화제 1.5mm, 3.0mm 두께에 의해 체적안정성에 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 자체의 이상적인 탄성 변형과 복원력만을 비교 하였을 때를 보면, Visco-Gel 3.0mm군에서 가장 안정적인 체적안정성을 보였다. 또한, 조직 양화제는 재료 간의 체적 안정성에 다양한 범위가 있어 기능인상에 적합한 것을 선택을 하는 것이 중요하다.

The use of tissue conditioners has come into favor for preprosthetic treatment and the treatment of Denture stomatitis, but the major problem in the use of the tissue conditioner is the growth of C.albicans. To compare the growth of C.albicans according to the type and the wearing period of the tissue conditioner, three commercial tissue conditioners were relined to intraoral plates which were delivered to 14 smoking, 12 nonsmoking healthy men. Cultures were made from the conditioner surface at 2, 7, 14, 21 days after after intraoral placement. The frequency of positive culture and colony counts of C.albicans were measured by imprint culture technique. The following results were achieved : 1. The frequency of positive cluture had increased significantly for all materials used. 2. The frequency of positive culture had incresed significantly around 2,14 days for day for COE-Comfort, SR-Ivoseal. 3. There were no significant difference in the colony counts of C.albicans among the mate rials used. 4. There were an over-all increase with the wearing period of tissue conditioners and significant increase around 2, 7, 14 days for COE-Comfort, and 2, 14 days for SR-Ivoseal, viscogel in colony counts. 5. Smoking had no effect on the growth of C.albicans. That is, there were no difference among the materials used in the growth of C.albicans. In the clinical application of tissue conditioners, we should avoid a long term use of it, but in inevitable cases, special disinfection procedures should be considered.

An experimental study was performed to study the tissue reactions to tissue conditioners in rabbits. Thirty rabbits were divided into three groups, 10, Hydro-cast group, 10, Coe-comfort group, and 10, heat-cured resin group. Tissue conditioners and heat-cured resin were embedded in the oral mucosa of rabbits. The tissue specimens were removed on 3rd, 7th, 14h, 21st and 28th day after embedding and examined under microscope after staining them with H-E stain, Van Gieson's stain, Masson's trichrome stain and PAS reaction. The results were as follows : 1. Tissue reactions to tissue conditioners were somewhat different from each other in the early stage, but, with the increase of the embedding period, the fibrous capsule was thickened in both. These tissue reactions were similar to those to heat-cured resin. 2. Newly formd fibrous components were stained deep-red with Van Gieson's stain and dark-green with Masson's trichrome stain. But their stainability was decreased as collagenous fibers became matured. 3. Newly formed fibrous components showed intense PAS reactivity, but PAS reactivity was reduced as the connective tissue capsule became completed.

연구목적: 1961년 Chase에 의해 처음 소개된 기능 인상법(functional impression technique)은 기존 의치에 이장된 조직 양화재(tissue conditioner)를 이용하여 실제 기능 운동 하에서 동적인 지지 조직의 인상과 기능적이며 생리적인 의치 변연부의 형태와 길이를 기록하는 술식이다. 조직 양화재가 기능 인상법의 재료로 사용되기 위해서는 체적 안정성, 미세부 재현성, 흐름성 등의 특성과 함께 치과용 석고와의 적합성(compatibility)을 고려하여야 한다. 하지만 기능 인상법 재료로 조직 양화재를 사용할 경우 구강내 환경 속에서 시간이 지남에 따라 석고 표면 거칠기에는 어떠한 영향을 미칠지 또한 그에 따라 석고 표면의 변화를 고려하여 어느 정도 기간 동안 구강 내에 유지하는 것이 좋을지에 대한 연구는 거의 없는 상황이다. 이에 본 연구는 조직 양화재를 기능 인상법의 재료로서 사용할 경우, 조직 양화재의 종류와 분액비, 침수시간이 치과용 석고 표면 거칠기에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 임상적으로 많이 쓰이는 3종의 조직 양화재(Coe-Comfort, Visco-Gel, Soft-Liner)로 제조사에서 추천하는 분액비(P/L ratio)를 기준으로 표준 분액비에 따라 혼합한 군(R), 분말의 양을 20% 많이 혼합한 군(M), 분말의 양을 20% 적게 혼합한 군(L)으로 나누어 조직 양화재를 혼합하여 직경 20 mm, 두께 2 mm의 시편을 제작하였다. 각 조직 양화재 시편들을 다시 인공 타액 속의 침수시간(0시간, 1일, 3일, 5일, 7일)에 따라 5개의 군으로 나눈 뒤 인공 타액에 완전히 담구어 $37^{\circ}C$에서 보관하였다. 정해진 침수시간이 경과한 시편을 꺼내서 초경석고를 부어 석고 시편을 제작한 뒤 조직 양화재와 접해있던 석고 시편 표면의 거칠기를 접촉식 표면 조도기(Surfcoder SEF-30D, Kosaka laboratory Ltd., Tokyo, Japan)로 측정하여 다음과 같은 연구 결과를 얻었다. 결과 및 결론: 1. 조직 양화재로 부터 만들어진 석고 모형의 표면 거칠기에 주된 영향을 미치는 요인은 기능 인상을 채득하기 위해 구강 내에 조직 양화재를 위치시키는 기간이었고, 그 외에 조직 양화재의 종류와 분액비도 통계학적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 요인이었다. 2. 3가지 P/L ratio 실험 조건 모두에서 Visco-Gel과 Soft-Liner 간에는 석고 모형의 표면 거칠기값이 침수시간이 변함에 따라 통계학적으로 유의성 있는 차이를 보이지 않았지만, Coe-Comfort의 경우에는 침수시간이 변함에 따라 Soft-Liner와 Visco-Gel보다 석고 모형의 표면 거칠기값이 통계학적으로 유의성 있게 더 큰 값을 보였다. 3. 3종의 실험 대상 조직 양화재 모두에서 R(recommended)와 M(more) group 간에는 석고 모형의 표면 거칠기값이 침수시간이 변함에 따라 통계학적으로 유의성 있는 차이를 보이지 않았지만, L(less) group의 경우에는 침수시간이 변함에 따라 R과 M group보다 석고 모형의 표면 거칠기값이 통계학적으로 유의성 있게 더 큰 값을 보였다. 이러한 연구 결과로부터 석고 모형의 표면 거칠기에는 구강 내에서의 시간이 가장 큰 영향을 나타내며, 조직 양화재의 종류와 분액비도 영향을 미칠 수 있기 때문에 술자가 기능 인상 채득 시에 적절한 구강 내 적용시간에 대해서 잘 이해하고 있고, 기능 인상에 적합한 조직 양화재를 선별할 수 있다면 조직 양화재를 이용하여 유용하게 기능 인상을 채득할 수 있을 것이다.

Tissue conditioners have been used for treatment of denture stomatitis caused by wearing of dentures. Early studies pointed out Candide albicans (C. albicans) as main etiologic factor, and antifugal agents were added for control of the species. But there is a little information about broad comparison on the effect of tissue conditioners and antifungal agents added. The purpose of the present study was to compare the inhibiting effect of four tissue conditioners and one temporary soft liner on the growth of C. albicans for treatment of denture stomatitis using gel diffusion method by measuring diameter of the zone of growth inhibition. Three antifungal agents were added to each material for evaluation of the effect of added agents. Finally, observation was made to evaluate the effect of the loss of antifungal elements by aging of the specimen. The results of this study were obtained as follows : 1. Tempo had remarkable antifungal effect showing the zone of growth inhibition as 2.35 mm at 1st day, and was most effective on End: 4th and 7th day from incubation (p<0.05). But Coecomfort, Dura conditioner, Visco-gel, Coe-soft had little antifungal effect from the 1st day of incubation. 2. Nystatin was most effective showing 9.60-12.04 mm of zone of inhibition at the 1st day from incubation. The antifungal properties were reduced to amphotericin B, chlorhexidine and materials without agent (p<0.05), and the effect was diminished by time. 3. As pretreatment with amphotericin B, nystatin, chlorhexidine, Tempo was very effective at the 1st day from incubation showing zone of inhibition as 3.65, 12.04, 4.78 mm with addition of each agent. Dura conditioner had strongest antifungal effect at the next day as 2.86, 5.33, 1.29 mm of zone of inhibition, and yielding results of Coe-comfort, Tempo, Coe-soft was shown at 4th and 7th day from incubation (p<0.05). Taken all together, tissue conditioners have little antifungal effect except Tempo. Formation of the zone of growth inhibition was due to agents amphotericin B, nystatin, chlorhexidine and nystatin was most effective. Conclusively, it is advisable to select material which is effective on the growth of C. albican and consider addition of antifungal agents for treatment of denture stomatitis.
