Objectives: In most retrospective studies, the clinical performance of restorations had not been considered in survival analysis. This study investigated the effect of including the clinically unacceptable cases according to modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria into the failed data on the survival analysis of direct restorations as to the longevity and prognostic variables. Materials and Methods: Nine hundred and sixty-seven direct restorations were evaluated. The data of 204 retreated restorations were collected from the records, and clinical performance of 763 restorations in function was evaluated according to modified USPHS criteria by two observers. The longevity and prognostic variables of the restorations were compared with a factor of involving clinically unacceptable cases into the failures using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazard model. Results: The median survival times of amalgam, composite resin and glass ionomer were 11.8, 11.0 and 6.8 years, respectively. Glass ionomer showed significantly lower longevity than composite resin and amalgam. When clinically unacceptable restorations were included into the failure, the median survival times of them decreased to 8.9, 9.7 and 6.4 years, respectively. Conclusions: After considering the clinical performance, composite resin was the only material that showed a difference in the longevity (p < 0.05) and the significantly higher relative risk of student group than professor group disappeared in operator groups. Even in the design of retrospective study, clinical evaluation needs to be included.

치과용 복합레진(Resin-based composite material)의 임상적 결과는 증례의 선택, 기술적인 완성도, 술자의 숙련도등에 따라 다양하게 나타날 수 있다. 특히, 어린이의 제 1 대구치 복합레진 수복은 치아의 맹출 정도와 환아의 협조도 등에 따라 성인의 경우에 비하여 임상적으로 많은 제약을 가지게 된다. 이에 본 연구는 어린이에 시행된 복합 레진 수복물에 대한 5년 후의 평가를 목적으로 시행되었다. 2001년 1월 1일부터 1년 간 부산대학교병원 소아치과에 내원하여 제 1 대구치 복합레진 수복을 받은 16명 환자의 35개 치아에 대하여 modified USPHS criteria에 근거하여 정밀 평가를 시행한 결과, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 35개 치아 중 6개(17.1%)는 재수복되어 복합 레진 수복물의 5년 후 생존율은 82.9%로 나타났다. 2. 평가기준별 관찰 결과, 색조의 조화, 마모도, 표면 조도, 민감성 혹은 불편감의 측면에서 이상적인 상태인 A등급은 각각 86.2%, 93.1%, 86.2%, 86.2%로 나타났고, 임상적으로 수용가능한 수준인 B등급은 각각 13.8%, 0%, 13.8%, 10.3%를 보였다. 변연적합성과 변연부 변색의 측면에서 A등급은 각각 13.8%, 44.8%를 보였고 B등급은 79.3%, 34.5%로 나타났으며, 이차 우식의 발생율은 20.7%를 나타내었다. 3. 69.1%인 20개 치아는 7개 항목 모두에서 임상적으로 수용 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구의 목적은 복합레진을 이용한 비우식성 치경부 5급 병소 수복에 있어서, 3가지 다른 접착제를, 유지구를 부여한 치아와 부여하지 않은 치아에 적용하였을 때의 임상적인 효능의 차이를 비교하기 위함이다. 총 150개의 치아를 각각 25개씩 6개의 군으로 나누었다. A군 : Scotchbond Multi-Purpose (SBMP, 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA, 4세대 접착제)를 사용하고 유지구를 부여하지 않음. B군 : SBMP 를 사용하고 유지구를 부여. C군 : BC Plus (Vericom Co., Anyang, Gyeonggido, Korea, 5 세대 접착제)를 사용하고 유지구를 부여하지 않음. D군 : BC Plus를 사용하고 유지구를 부여. E군 : Adper Prompt (3M ESPE, Seefeld, Germany, 6 세대 접착제)를 사용하고 유지구를 부여하지 않음. F군 : Adper Prompt를 사용하고 유지구를 부여. 모든 치아는 복합레진인 Denfil (Vericom Co., Anyang, Gyeonggido, Korea) 을 이용하여 충전하였다. 수복 직후와 수복 6 개월 후에 modified USPHS (United States Public Health Service) criteria에 따라 수복물을 임상적으로 평가하였다. 추가적으로 임상사진을 촬영하였으며, 에폭시 레진을 이용하여 복제한 후 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 이를 관찰하였다. 6개월 후 관찰 결과, alpha rating의 수가 각 실험군마다 동일하지는 않았지만, 통계적으로는 3가지의 접착제간에 유의할만한 차이는 없었고, 기계적인 유지구를 부여한 군과 부여하지 않은 군 간에도 유의할만한 차이는 없었다 (p < 0.05). 그러나 6개월의 관찰 기간은 일반적으로 기대되는 레진의 수명보다 짧기 때문에, 각 실험군 간의 차이를 알아보기 위해서는 추후 더 오랜 기간의 관찰이 요구 된다.

Objectives: Natural extracts have been investigated as a biomimetic strategy to mechanically strengthen the collagen network and control the biodegradation of extracellular matrix. This study evaluated the effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) on abfraction lesions prior to the composite resin. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 30 patients (aged between 28 and 60 years) with abfraction lesions located in 2 homologous premolars. The teeth were randomly assigned according to dentin treatment: 0.02% EGCG solution or distilled water (control). After enamel acid etching, the solutions were applied immediately for 1 minute. The teeth were restored with Universal Adhesive (3M) and Filtek Z350 XT (3M). Analyzes were done by 2 independent examiners using modified USPHS (retention, secondary caries, marginal adaptation, and postoperative sensitivity) and photographic (color, marginal pigmentation, and anatomical form) criteria at baseline (7 days) and final (18 months). The data analysis used Friedman and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests (α = 0.05). Results: At baseline, all restorations were evaluated as alpha for all criteria. After 18 months, restorations were evaluated as alpha for secondary caries, color, and marginal pigmentation. There was significant difference between baseline and 18 months (p = 0.009) for marginal adaptation and postoperative sensitivity (p = 0.029), but no significant difference were verified between treatments (p = 0.433). The EGCG group had a restoration retention rate of 93.3%, while the control group had 96.7%. Conclusions: The application of EGCG solution on abfraction lesions did not significantly influence the survival of the restorations based on clinical and photographic criteria.

PURPOSE. Zirconia has been used in clinical dentistry for approximately a decade, and there have been several reports regarding the clinical performance and survival rates of zirconia-based restorations. The aim of this article was to review the literatures published from 2000 to 2010 regarding the clinical performance and the causes of failure of zirconia fixed partial dentures (FPDs). MATERIALS AND METHODS. An electronic search of English peer-reviewed dental literatures was performed through PubMed to obtain all the clinical studies focused on the performance of the zirconia FPDs. The electronic search was supplemented by manual searching through the references of the selected articles for possible inclusion of some articles. Randomized controlled clinical trials, longitudinal prospective and retrospective cohort studies were the focuses of this review. Articles that did not focus on the restoration of teeth using zirconia-based restorations were excluded from this review. RESULTS. There have been three studies for the study of zirconia single crowns. The clinical outcome was satisfactory (acceptable) according to the CDA evaluation. There have been 14 studies for the study of zirconia FPDs. The survival rates of zirconia anterior and posterior FPDs ranged between 73.9% - 100% after 2 - 5 years. The causes of failure were veneer fracture, ceramic core fracture, abutment tooth fracture, secondary caries, and restoration dislodgment. CONCLUSION. The overall performance of zirconia FPDs was satisfactory according to either USPHS criteria or CDA evaluations. Fracture resistance of core and veneering ceramics, bonding between core and veneering materials, and marginal discrepancy of zirconia-based restorations were discussed as the causes of failure. Because of its repeated occurrence in many studies, future researches are essentially required to clarify this problem and to reduce the fracture incident.
