초음파 비선형성은 적층 구조물 내부의 미세크랙이나 계면 들뜸을 검출하기 위한 수단으로 주목받고 있다. 비선형 초음파의 특징적인 현상은 전파 과정중에 고조파가 발생되는 것이다. 그러므로 비선형성의 정량화를 위해서는 수신된 초음파 신호에 포함된 고조파 성분의 검출이 중요하며, 일반적으로 2차 조화 성분과 기본 주파수 성분의 진폭비가 비선형 파라미터로 이용되고 있다. 그러나 이 비선형 파라미터를 정확하게 추정할 수 있는 방법이 확립되어 있지 않기 때문에 현재까지는 현장적용에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 연구에서는 초음파 비선형 파라미터의 정밀 추정을 위한 신호 처리 기술을 제안하고자 한다 이 기술은 파워 스펙트럼과 바이스펙트럼 분석에 기초하며, 특히 본 연구에서는 초음파 현미경(SAM, scanning acoustic microscope)에 사용되는 펄스형 신호로부터 고조파를 검출하는데 주목하였다. 제안된 기법의 유효성은 틈새의 크기가 접촉 중심에서 반경 방향으로 일정하게 증가하는 뉴턴링(Newton-ring)과 칩의 윗면에 국부적인 들뜸을 가진 반도체 샘플에 대한 실험을 통해 검증되었다. 결과적으로 제안된 신호처리기법에 의해 획득된 비선형 파라미터는 계면 들뜸과 좋은 상관성을 보였다.

As the thin film technology has emerged in various fields, adhesion of the film interface becomes an important issue in terms of the longevity and durability of thin film devices. Diverse nondestructive methods utilizing acoustic techniques have been developed to assess the interfacial integrity. As an effective technique based on the ultrasonic wave focusing and the surface acoustic wave(SAW) generation, scanning acoustic microscopy(SAM) has been investigated for adhesion evaluation. Visualization of film microstructures and quantification of adhesion weakness levels by SAW dispersion are the recent achievements of SAM. To overcome the limitations in the theoretical dispersion model only suitable for perfectly elastic and isotropic materials, a new model has been more recently developed in consideration of film anisotropy and viscoelasticity and applied to the adhesion evaluation of polymeric films fabricated on semiconductive wafers.

PURPOSE. To determine the extent of treatment traces, the roughness depth, and the quantity of titanium nitride (TiN) removed from the surface of CAD/CAM abutments after treatment with various instruments. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Twelve TiN coated CAD/CAM abutments were investigated for an in vitro study. In the test group (9), each abutment surface was subjected twice (150 g vs. 200 g pressure) to standardized treatment in a simulated prophylaxis measure with the following instruments: acrylic scaler, titanium curette, and ultrasonic scaler with steel tip. Three abutments were used as control group. Average surface roughness (Sa) and developed interfacial area ratio (Sdr) of treated and untreated surfaces were measured with a profilometer. The extent of treatment traces were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS. Manipulation with ultrasonic scalers resulted in a significant increase of average surface roughness (Sa, P<.05) and developed interfacial area ratio (Sdr, P<.018). Variable contact pressure did not yield any statistically significant difference on Sa-values for all instruments (P=.8). Ultrasonic treatment resulted in pronounced surface traces and partially detachment of the TiN coating. While titanium curettes caused predominantly moderate treatment traces, no traces or detectable substance removal has been determined after manipulation with acrylic curettes. CONCLUSION. Inappropriate instruments during regular plaque control may have an adverse effect on the integrity of the TiN coating of CAD/CAM abutments. To prevent defects and an increased surface roughness at the transmucosal zone of TiN abutments, only acrylic scaling instruments can be recommended for regular maintenance care.

Purpose: This in vitro study was performed to assess the adherence of Porphyromonas gingivalis to a resorbable blast media (RBM) titanium surface pretreated with an ultrasonic scaler or toothbrush and to evaluate the effects of the treatment of the RBM titanium discs on the bacterial removal efficiency of brushing by crystal violet assay and scanning electron microscopy. Methods: RBM titanium discs were pretreated with one of several ultrasonic scaler tips or cleaned with a toothbrush. Then the titanium discs were incubated with P. gingivalis and the quantity of adherent bacteria was compared. The disc surfaces incubated with bacteria were brushed with a toothbrush with dentifrice. Bacteria remaining on the disc surfaces were quantified. Results: A change in morphology of the surface of the RBM titanium discs after different treatments was noted. There were no significant differences in the adherence of bacteria on the pretreated discs according to the treatment modality. Pretreatment with various instruments did not produce significant differences in the bacterial removal efficiency of brushing with dentifrice. Conclusions: Within the limits of this study, various types of mechanical instrumentation were shown to cause mechanical changes on the RBM titanium surface but did not show a significant influence on the adherence of bacteria and removal efficiency of brushing.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the adaptation of root canal filling material to the dentinal wall of root canal and to compare the sealing ability of the root canal filling materials using ultrasonic endodontic instrument with injection-molded thermoplasticized gutta-percha filling method and lateral condensation method. Fifty fresh human single root exlracted for orthodontic treatment, were randomly selected, and instrumented by step-back technique. And then, the teeth were divided into 5 groups according to each root canal filling methods. In the experimental group 1 and group 2, the root canals were filled with gutta perdia cases using ultrasonic instrument with and without sealer. In the experimental group 3 and 4, using jection-moldeed thermoplasticized gutta-percha method by obtul$^{(R)}$ canals were filled with and without sealer. In the control group, the canals were filled with sealer by lateral candensation. And then, 5 teeth of each group were immersed in black Indian ink, decalcified and cleared. The depth of dye penetration into the root canal were evaluated with stereoscope (Reichert Ltd., USA). Among the 5 teeth remaining in each group, the single longituding grooves were made on the labial and lingual root surfaces and then immersed in the liquid nitrogen to fracture the teeth spontaneously without any distortions of gutta-percha. Each specimens were examined with X-650 Scanning Electron Microscope(Hitachi ltd, Japan) to show the adaptation to the canal wall, void, homogenicity of filling material and location of gutta-percha or sealer in the dentinal tubules of the root canal. The observations were as follows : 1. The experimental group 1 showed smaller mean dye penetration than control group, and showed the penetraton of sealer in the dentinal tubules of apical third of the root canal. 2. The experimental group 2 and group 4 showed the penetration of gutta-percha in the dentinal tubules of root canals. 3. The experimental group 1 and group 3 showed less mean dye penetration than the experimental group 2 and group 4. 4. The experimental group 1 and group 2 showed better adaptation of filling materials than control group.

본 논문에서는 25㎒대역에서 피크값 검출, time average 및 depth profile 알고리즘을 초음파 현미경에 적용하였고 각 알고리즘의 성능을 비교, 분석하였다. time average 알고리즘에서는 동전 한 지점에서 반사된 펄스파가 시간영역에서 디지털 값으로 변환되고 변환된 512개 데이터의 평균값이 계산된다. time average영상은 샘플의 스캐닝영역에서 획득된 N×N 매트릭스 평균값들이 그레이레벨에 의해 획득된다. 시간영역에서 smoothing효과를 갖는 이 기술은 산란현상을 많이 일으키는 영역의 초음파영상을 향상시킬 수 있다. depth profile 기술에서는 기준신호와 검출신호의 시간차가 최소 2ns의 분해능을 갖고 검출되므로 스캐닝 영역의 3차원적인 실제 형태가 상대적인 크기로 검출된다. 이러한 실험을 통하여 피크값 검출, time average 및 depth profile 알고리즘이 분석되었고 각 알고리즘의 잇점이 제시되었다.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of CK files as an ultrasonic instrument, and to determine most efficient file size for smear layer removal. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six extracted human mandibular premolars with single, straight root canals and mature apices were mechanically prepared and randomly divided into three groups. Group 1 (Control) underwent conventional needle irrigation, Group 2 (CKS) underwent passive ultrasonic irrigation with a #20 CK file, and Group 3 (CKL) underwent passive ultrasonic irrigation with a #30 CK file. After preparation and irrigation, all teeth were dried and split with a chisel to obtain the mesial and distal half of their roots. Each sample was evaluated using a scanning electron microscope, and data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney rank sum tests (p<0.05). Results: The CKS group showed less debris in the apical third than the other groups (p<0.05). In this section, no significant difference was observed among the other groups. And, there was no significant difference among any groups for the middle third section. Conclusion: This study showed that PUI with #20 CK file removed more smear layer compared to using #30 CK file at the apical third of the root canal.
