The objective of this study was to analyze the in vitro and in vivo corrosion products of low and high copper amalgams. The four different types of amalgam alloy used in this study were Fine cut, Caulk spherical, Dispersalloy, and Tytin. After each amalgam alloy and Hg were triturated according to the directions of the manufacturer by means of the mechanical amalgamator(Amalgam mixer. Shinhung Co. Korea), the triturated mass was inserted into a cylindrical metal mold which was 12mm in diameter and 10mm in height. The mass was condensed by 150Kg/cm compressive force. The specimen was removed from the mold and aged at room temperature for about seven days. The standard surface preparation was routinely carried out by emery paper polishing under running water. In vitro amalgam specimens were potentiostatically polarized ten times in a normal saline solution at $37^{\circ}C$(potentiostat : HA-301. Hukuto Denko Corp. Japan). Each specimen was subjected to anodic polarization scan within the potential range -1700mV to+400mV(SCE). After corrosion tests, anodic polarization curves and corrosion potentials were obtained. The amount of component elements dissolved from amalgams into solution was measured three times by ICP AES(Inductive Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry: Plasma 40. Perkim Elmer Co. U.S.A.). The four different types of amalgam were filled in occlusal and buccal class I cavities of four human 3rd molars. After about five years the restorations were carefully removed after tooth extraction to preserve the structural details including the deteriorated margins. The occlusal surface, amalgam-tooth interface and the fractured surface of in vivo amalgam corrosion products were analyzed. In vivo and in vitro amalgam specimens were examined and analyzed metallographically by SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope: JSM 840. Jeol Co. Japan) and EDAX(Energy Dispersive Micro X-ray Analyser: JSM 840. Jeol Co. Japan). 1. The following results are obtained from in vitro corrosion tests. 1) Corrosion potentials of all amalgams became more noble after ten times passing through the in vitro corrosion test compared to first time. 2) After times through the test, released Cu concentration in saline solution was almost equal but highest in Fine cut. Ag and Hg ion concentration was highest in Caulk spherical and Sn was highest in Dispersalloy. 3) Analyses of surface corrosion products in vitro reveal the following results. a)The corroded surface of Caulk spherical has Na-Sn-Cl containing clusters of $5{\mu}m$ needle-like crystals and oval shapes of Sn-Cl phase, polyhedral Sn oxide phase. b)In Fine cut, there appeared to be a large Sn containing phase, surrounded by many Cu-Sn phases of $1{\mu}m$ granular shapes. c)Dispersalloy was covered by a thick reticular layer which contained Zn-Cl phase. d)In Tytin, a very thin, corroded layer had formed with irregularly growing Sn-Cl phases that looked like a stack of plates. 2. The following results are obtained by an analysis of in vivo amalgam corrosion products. 1) Occlusal surfaces of all amalgams were covered by thick amorphous layers containing Ca-P elements which were abraded by occlusal force. 2) In tooth-amalgam interface, Ca-P containing products were examined in all amalgams but were most clearly seen in low copper amalgams. 3) Sn oxide appeared as a polyhedral shape in internal space in Caulk spherical and Fine cut. 4) Apical pyramidal shaped Sn oxide and curved plate-like Sn-Cl phases resulted in Dispersalloy. 5) In Tytin, Sn oxide and Sn hydroxide were not seen but polyhedral Ag-Hg phase crystal appeared in internal space which assumed a ${\beta}_l$ phase.

연구 목적: 본 연구는 고정성 국소의치 제작을 위한 상악 좌측 제2소구치 및 제2대구치의 지대치 삭제에 대하여 인체공학적으로 안정된 진료 자세를 확립하고, 치과의사의 일반적 작업 자세와 비교, 분석하고 인체공학적으로 안정된 자세의 임상적용 가능성을 알아보고 이를 이용하여 향후 치과의사 교육의 기초 자료로 활용하기 위함이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 상악 좌측 고정성 국소의치를 위한 인체공학적으로 안정된 자세를 고안하고 임상 경력 3-6년의 보철과 전공의 과정에 있는 치과의사 8명을 선정하여 임의의 자세로 상악 좌측 고정성 부분의치 지대치 삭제를 시행하고 연구 대상자들에게 인체공학적으로 안정된 자세를 교육하고 연구 대상들에게 인체공학적으로 안정된 자세로 상악 좌측 고정성 국소의치 지대치 삭제를 시행하였다. 임의의 자세로 삭제 시행한 치아와 인체공학적으로 안정된 자세로 삭제 시행한 치아를 KHDP 3-dimensional measuring device를 사용하여 계측해 교합면 삭제량, 변연의 폭경, 변연의 깊이 축면 경사도. 그리고 삭제시간을 측정 비교하였다. 모든 계측된 결과를 윈도우즈용 SPSS 통계 프로그램 (ver. 18.0, SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA)을 이용하여 교합면 삭제량, 변연의 폭 및 깊이, 축면 경사도, 치아 삭제 시간을 평균값 및 표준편차 분석하고 T-test를 Random Position 와 Home Position에 따른 차이 검정하였다. 결과: 와(fossa) 부위에서의 교합면 삭제량은 상악 좌측 제2소구치 및 제2대구치 모두에서 지시삭제량에 비해 적었으며, 교두정에서의 삭제량은 지시삭제량 1.7 mm에비해 많았으나, Random position과 Home position간에 유의차는 없었다 (P > .05). 변연 폭의 삭제량은 상악 좌측 제2소구치 및 제2대구치 모두에서 지시삭제량에 비해 많았으며, Random position과 Home position간에 유의차는 없었다 (P > .05). 변연 깊이의 삭제량은 상악 좌측 제2소구치 및 제2대구치 모두에서 Random position이 Home position에 비하여 지시삭제량보다 깊었다 (P < .05). 축면경사각은 상악 좌측 제2소구치 및 제2대구치 모두에서 Home position의 축면 경사각이 Random position의 축면경사각보다 작았으나 유의차는 없었다 (P > .05). 피어슨 상관분석 결과, Random position에서 교합면 삭제량, 변연 깊이, 축면경사각은 서로에게 영향을 주고 있었으나, Home position에서는 측정결과 들이 거의 독립적으로 서로에게 영향을 주지 않았다 (P < .05). Home position 삭제 횟수가 많아질수록 삭제소요 시간은 줄어들었고, 이는 실험에 참여한 8명 모두에서 Random position 삭제시간과 비슷해지거나 더 짧았다. 결론: 고정성 국소의치를 위한 상악 좌측 제2소구치 및 제2대구치 삭제의 경우, 교합면 삭제량, 변연의 폭, 변연의 깊이, 축면 경사각에 있어서 Home position과 Random position 간에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 삭제시간, 인접치 인접면 손상 정도는 Home position이 Random position보다 적었다. 또한 자세분석을 한 결과 Home position이 Random position에 비하여 곧은 자세로 인체에 무리를 주지 않았다. 따라서 인체공학적으로 안정된 자세인 Home position의 임상적용 가능성이 높다고 생각된다.

현대 치의학에서는 환자의 심미적 만족을 충족시키기 위한 지속적인 관심으로 완전 도재관의 발전을 가져왔다. 최근의 연구 결과들은 완전 도재관의 물리적 성질과 마모 저항성, 색조의 안정성 등을 보고하고 있다. 이와 같이 여러 장점이 많음에도 불구하고 아직 파절에 대한 저항성에는 많은 의문점을 내포하고 있다. 구강 내에서 기능적인 교합력은 수복물의 변연에 응력을 주게된다. 이러한 응력은 주변 조직으로 잘 분산되어져야 하는데, 수복물의 변연 형태에 따라 다른 양상을 보여주게 된다. 변연 형태는 수복물의 부피와 모양, 그리고 변연에서의 적합도에도 영향을 주게 된다. 본 연구에서는 완전 도재관에서의 변연 형태에 따른 응력 분포를 3차원 유한 요소 분석법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 상악 중절치가 기본 모델로 사용되었고, 완전 도재관을 재현하였다. 변연 형태로는 $90^{\circ}$ shoulder, $110^{\circ}$ shoulder, $135^{\circ}$ shoulder형태를 부여하고, 100N의 힘을 치축에 $45^{\circ}$ 방향으로 가하였다. 그 결과 도재 내부의 응력 분포는 $90^{\circ}$, $110^{\circ}$ 모델에 비해 변연 각도가 $135^{\circ}$인 모델의 경우가 응력의 분포가 고르게 나타났다. 그러나 변연에서는 $90^{\circ}$와 $110^{\circ}$ 모델의 응력보다 조금 더 집중되었다. $90^{\circ}$와 $110^{\circ}$ 모델의 비교시는 대체로 비슷했다. 알루미나 코아 내부의 응력 분포에서도 또한 $135^{\circ}$인 모델이 $90^{\circ}$와 $110^{\circ}$ 모델의 응력분포보다 더 잘 분포되었다. $90^{\circ}$와 $110^{\circ}$ 모델의 비교시는 $110^{\circ}$가 $90^{\circ}$ 모델에 비해 더 좋은 응력분포를 보였다. 알루미나 코아와 접착제 사이의 계면에서는 응력이 변연으로 갈수록 감소하고, 알루미나 코아와 도재 사이의 계면에서는 변연으로 갈수록 응력이 점차 증가하였다. $135^{\circ}$ shoulder는 고른 응력분포임에도 변연에서의 응력 집중이 나타나므로 완전 도재관의 변연으로는 적절하지 못하며, $90^{\circ}$ shoulder보다 상대적으로 좋은 응력분포와 변연 형성의 용이성이 우세한 $110^{\circ}$ shoulder가 완전 도재관의 변연에 추천될 수 있겠다.

In this study, radiographic evaluation was made using panoramic radiography and cross-sectional tomography of SCANORA/sup (R)/ in male and female adults in their 20's on the relationship between the maxillary sinus floor and the apex of the maxillary molar, to test the accuracy and effectiveness of the cross-sectional tomography, and to use this information in the assessment of preop. and postop. root canal treatment, apical surgery, extraction and implantology. Forty-one adults with an average age of 24.4 years were studied using panoramic radiography and cross-sectional tomography. In panoramic view and cross-sectional view, the position of the apices of maxillary molars were classified as separated, contacted, or protruded type; the general shape of the maxillary sinus floor was evaluated horizontally and vertically from cross-sectional tomography. The accuracy of each radiography was tested using maxilla from 5 fresh cadavers from the Anatomy Lab at Yonsei University Dental College, and panoramic view and cross-sectional tomography were taken in the same condition as with the patients. The results were as follows: 1. Panoramic view and cross-sectional view were taken in the maxilla specimen, and the actual distance between the maxillary sinus floor and the tooth apices were measured in the specimen; the median values of the distance from the tooth apices to the maxillary sinus floor in the panoramic view, cross-sectional view and in the actual maxilla specimen were 2.83 mm, 4.51mm, and 4.l5mm, respectively. In the cross-sectional view, the measured distance was close to the actual distance but in the panoramic view, the measured distance was far from the actual distance. 2. When the results of the panoramic view and cross-sectional view were compared, 40.5％ of the results agreed with each other in the two radiographic methods and buccal roots of the 2nd molar were the closest to the maxillary sinus floor in the cross-sectional tomography. 3. In cross-sectional view, when the vertical relationship of the maxillary sinus floor and maxillary roots was assessed, in 1st molars, type II (the sinus floor that extends down to the buccolingual furcation area) was predominant, while in 2nd molars, type I (the sinus floor located above the level connecting the buccal and lingual apices) was predominant. In the horizontal relationship, in 1st molars, type II (the lowest floor of the maxillary sinus located in between the buccal and lingual roots) was predominant; in 2nd molars, type I (the lowest floor of the maxillary sinus located on the buccal side of the buccal roots) and type II appeared in similar frequency. In conclusion, the SCANORA/sup (R)/ cross-sectional tomography was more effective than the frequently used panoramic view, in that the relationship of the maxillary molars and maxillary sinus floor can be evaluated more accurately and the buccolingual cross-sectional view can also be observed. And maxillary sinus floor that was close to maxillary 2nd molar had tendency to be located on buccal side than that close to 1st molar. Therefore, cross-sectional tomography is an effective and accurate method to evaluate the position of the teeth in relation to the sinus floor preoperative and can be easily used to diagnose localized periapical lesions. Also, the image quality obtained was quite satisfactory.

The aim of the current study was to evaluate the results of horizontal guided bone regeneration (GBR) with xenograf t (deproteinized bovine bone mineral, DBBM), allograf t (irradiated allogenic cancellous bone and marrow), titanium membrane, resorbable collagen membrane, and advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) in the anterior maxilla. The titanium membrane was used in this study has a three-dimensional (3D) shape that can cover ridge defects. Case 1. A 32-year-old female patient presented with discomfort due to mobility and pus discharge on tooth #11. Three months after extracting tooth #11, diagnostic software (R2 GATE diagnostic software, Megagen, Daegu, Korea) was used to establish the treatment plan for implant placement. At the first stage of implant surgery, GBR for horizontal augmentation was performed with DBBM ($Bio-Oss^{(R)}$, Geistlich, Wolhusen, Switzerland), irradiated allogenic cancellous bone and marrow (ICB $cancellous^{(R)}$, Rocky Mountain Tissue Bank, Denver, USA), 3D-titanium membrane ($i-Gen^{(R)}$, Megagen, Daegu, Korea), resorbable collagen membrane (Collagen $membrane^{(R)}$, Genoss, Suwon, Korea), and A-PRF because there was approximately 4 mm labial dehiscence after implant placement. Five months after placing the implant, the second stage of implant surgery was performed, and healing abutment was connected after removal of the 3D-titanium membrane. Five months after the second stage of implant surgery was done, the final prosthesis was then delivered. Case 2. A 35-year-old female patient presented with discomfort due to pain and mobility of implant #21. Removal of implant #21 fixture was planned simultaneously with placement of the new implant fixture. At the first stage of implant surgery, GBR for horizontal augmentation was performed with DBBM ($Bio-Oss^{(R)}$), irradiated allogenic cancellous bone and marrow (ICB $cancellous^{(R)}$), 3D-titanium membrane ($i-Gen^{(R)}$), resorbable collagen membrane (Ossix $plus^{(R)}$, Datum, Telrad, Israel), and A-PRF because there was approximately 7 mm labial dehiscence after implant placement. At the second stage of implant surgery six months after implant placement, healing abutment was connected after removing the 3D-titanium membrane. Nine months after the second stage of implant surgery was done, the final prosthesis was then delivered. In these two clinical cases, wound healing of the operation sites was uneventful. All implants were clinically stable without inflammation or additional bone loss, and there was no discomfort to the patient. With the non-resorbable titanium membrane, the ability of bone formation in the space was stably maintained in three dimensions, and A-PRF might influence soft tissue healing. This limited study suggests that aesthetic results can be achieved with GBR using 3D-titanium membrane and A-PRF in the anterior maxilla. However, long-term follow-up evaluation should be performed.

Tooth loss in elderly is mainly caused by alveolar bone loss via severe periodontitis. Although the severity of periodontitis is known to be affected by age, the aging process or the genetic changes during the aging of periodontal tissue cells are not well characterized. In this study, we investigated the effect of in vitro aging on the change of gene expression pattern in periodontal fibroblasts. Gingival fibroblasts (GF) and periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDL) were obtained from two young patients and replicative senescence was induced by sequential subcultivation. When more than 90% cells were positively stained with senescence-associated ${\beta},-galactosidase$, those cells were regarded as aged cells. In aged GF and PDL, the level of phosphorylated retinoblastoma (RB) and $p16^{INK4A}$ protein was significantly decreased and increased, respectively. However, the protein level of p53 and p21, well known senescence-inducing genes, did not increase in aged GF and PDL. Although $p27^{Kip1}$ and $p15^{INK4B}$, another cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, were reported to be involved in replicative senescence of human cells, they were decreased in aged GF and PDL. Because senescent cells showed flattened and enlarged cell shape and are known to have increased focal adhesion, we examined the protein level of several integrins. Aged GF and PDL showed increased protein level of integrin ${\alpha}2$, ${\alpha}v$, and ${\beta}1$. When the gene expression profiles of actively proliferating young cells and aged cells were compared by cDNA microarray of 3,063 genes and were confirmed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, 7 genes and 15 genes were significantly and commonly increased and decreased, respectively, in aged GF and PDL. Among them, included are the genes that were known to be involved in the regulation of cell cycle, gene transcription, or integrin signaling. The change of gene expression pattern in GF and PDL was minimally similar to that of oral keratinocyte. These results suggest that $p16^{INK4A}/RB$ might be involved in replicative senescence of periodontal fibroblasts and the change of gene expression profile during aging process is cell type specific.

교정 치료에서 발치공간 폐쇄는 치열을 이루는 모든 치아의 연속적인 이동으로 이루어지므로 그 기전은 복잡하다. 특히 전치부 치축을 적절히 유지하면서 구치부 고정원을 조절하는 과정은 정교함을 요하기 때문에 입체적 분석을 통한 치아이동 양상에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 지금까지의 유한요소 분석은 초기 응력분포를 관찰하여 치아 이동양상을 예측해 보는데 그쳤지만 이러한 양상만으로 정확한 치아이동 결과를 추정하는 데에는 한계가 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 3차원 유한요소 모델을 이용하여 상악 제1소구치 및 제2소구치 발치공간 폐쇄 시 전치부와 구치부의 입체적인 이동 양상을 단계별로 비교하여 그 기전을 규명하고자 하였다. 자연치의 크기 및 형태를 갖는 상악 치아들과 브라켓, 교정용 호선 및 치조골부를 3차원 레이저 스캐너로 스캐닝한 후 사면체 요소의 유한요소 모델을 제작하였다 $0.017"{\times}0.025"$ 스테인레스 강 호선에 제작된 bull 루프 후방에 $10^{\circ}$ gable bend를 부여하고 한 번에 2 mm씩 12회 활성화시켜 발치공간을 폐쇄시켰다. 그 결과 제1소구치를 발치한 경우 제2소구치 발치에 비해 전치부의 후방 이동량이 많았으며 구치부의 전방 이동량은 더 적게 나타났다. 전치부에서는 제f, 2소구치 발치 모두 비슷한 미약한 정출을 동반하였고 치축의 변화량은 제1소구치 발치에서 더 크게 나타났다. 또한 제2소구치 발치 시 고정원의 협측 이동량이 더 크게 나타났다

임상에서 흔히 발견되는 과잉치는 치아 형성기에 발생할 수 있는 치아 발육 이상의 하나로 여러 가지 치과적 합병증을 야기한다. 특히 상악 정중부에 역위 매복된 과잉치는 발생률이 높고 인접치에 미치는 영향이 크다는 점에서 임상적으로 중요하다. 과잉치에 대해서 임상적 및 방사선학적으로 보고되고 있으나 대부분의 연구는 표본 수가 적었으며 구내 방사선 사진이나 파노라마 방사선 사진만으로 검사하여 과잉치의 형태 및 위치 그리고 주위 조직에 미치는 영향 등에 관하여 정확하게 평가하기 어려웠을 것으로 생각된다. 이에 저자는 상악 정중부 역위 매복 과잉치의 개수, 형태, 만곡도, 위치, 근접도 및 합병증을 삼차원적으로 평가하기 위하여 1998년 7월부터 2002년 6월까지 연세대학교 치과대학병원 소아치과에 내원한 환자중 상악 정중부 역위 매복 과잉치의 진단을 위하여 전산화 단층 방사선사진 촬영을 한 경우에 대해 임상 기록지, 파노라마 방사선사진과 전산화 단층 방사선사진을 이용하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 상악 정중부 역위 매복 과잉치는 3.4:1로 여자보다 남자에서 호발하였다. 2. 과잉치는 1개 있는 경우가 가장 많았고 2, 3개 순으로 관찰되었으며, 평균 1.3개였고, 6-8세에 많이 발견되었다. 3. Conical 형태의 과잉치가 80.6%로 가장 많았고, tuberculate, supplemental 형태 순으로 나타났다. 4. 과잉치가 tuberculate 형태일 경우, 치근이 만곡되었을 경우와 인접치와 근접도가 높을 경우 합병증이 더 높게 발생하였다.

One of the central components of periodontal therapy is the improvement of esthetics. The presence and appearance of interdental papillae plays an important role of periodontal esthetics. The aim of the present study was to investigate how immediate provisional restoration preserve the shape of interdental papilla around the extraction socket and the width of bucco-lingual of gingiva. Another aim was to investigate the change in the interdental papilla and the amount of vertical bone fill of a extraction socket in relation to the interdental alveolar bone levels adjacent the alveolar socket. A total of 19 patients (11 male, 8 female, mean age of 50.57${\pm}$8.16), who visited the Department of Periodontology, Pusan National University and had more than one anterior tooth scheduled to be extracted due to an advanced periodontal disease were included in the present study. After initial periodontal therapy, the extracted teeth were reshaped of the root and placed into the socket followed by splinting with adjacent teeth with self-curing resin. The width of hucco-lingual of gingiva and interdental papilla height were measured at baseline, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 month and the periapical radiographic examination were taken at baseline, 6 and 12month following the extraction. The amount of vertical bone fill in the extraction socket were calculated. At 12 months following the extraction, the changes in mesial and distal interdental papilla and the width of bucco-lingual showed -1.06${\pm}$0.48mm, -0.844${\pm}$0.50mm, -1.50${\pm}$0.96m, relatively. The positional change in the interproximal papillae was significantly associated with the interdental bone level adjacent to the extraction socket(p=0.028). The higher the interproximal bone level adjacent the extraction socket, the greater the amount of bone fill in the extraction socket(p<0.001). In conclusion, it was thought that immediate provisional restoration could minimize the loss of the width of bucco-lingual and interproximal papillae around the extraction socket. In addition, the higher the interproximal bone level adjacent the extraction socket, the greater the amount of bone fill and the smaller the reduction of papillary height around the extraction socket.
