본 연구의 목적은 치면 처리와 수복물 내면의 처리가 필요 없는 자가 접착 레진 시멘트의 물성 및 lithium disilicate ceramic과 상아질에 대한 전단결합강도를 측정하고 기존의 레진 시멘트와 비교하여 임상적 유용성을 알아보고자 하는 것이다. 실험군인 자가 접착 레진 시멘트로는 Rely-X Unicem, Embrace Wetbond, Maxcem, BisCem을, 대조군으로는 기존의 레진 시멘트인 Rely-X ARC, 수복용 복합레진인 Z-350을 사용하였다. 각 레진 시멘트의 물성 평가를 위하여 테플론 주형을 이용하여 시편을 제작하고 만능 시험기를 이용하여 압축강도, 간접인장강도, 굴곡강도를 측정하였다. IPS Empress 2 및 상아질 시편에 제조사의 지시대로 Rely-X ARE군과 Z-350군에만 전처리를 시행 후 각 시멘트를 접착하고 전단결합강도를 측정하였다. 실험 결과는 다음과 같았다. 1. 자가 접착 레진 시멘트인 Biscem이 가장 낮은 물리적 성질을 나타내었다 (P<0.05). 2. 자가 접착 레진 시멘트의 상아질 및 도재에 대한 전단결합강도는 기존의 레진 시멘트에 비해 유의성 있게 낮은 값을 나타내었다. (P<0.05). 이상의 결과로 볼 때 자가 접착 레진 시멘트는 기존의 레진 시멘트에 비해 물리적 성질 및 상아질과 lithium disilicate ceramic에 대한 전단결합강도가 떨어지는 것으로 사료된다.

연구목적: 이 연구의 목적은 레진 시멘트의 포스트 공간 내 적용 방법에 따른 포스트의 push-out접착 강도를 비교하는 것이었다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 30개의 발거된 하악소구치를 사용하여 시멘트의 적용 방법에 따라 세 그룹으로 나누었는데 lentulo-spiral을 이용하여 포스트 공간 내에 레진 시멘트를 적용하는 그룹 (group Lentulo), 직접 포스트 표면에 레진 시멘트를 도포하는 그룹 (group Direct), elongation tip을 이용하여 포스트 공간 내에 레진 시멘트를 적용하는 그룹 (group Elongation tip)으로 나누었다. 근관을 성형, 충전한 뒤 Rely-X post drill을 사용하여 포스트 공간을 형성하였고, Rely-X fiber post를 Rely-X Unicem 적용하여 광중합 하였다. 시편을 아크릴릭 레진에 포매 하고 저속 절단기로 치아 장축에 수직으로 절단하여, 하나의 치아에서 치관부, 중앙, 근단부의 세 개의 시편을 얻었다. 절단한 시편을 Universal Testing Machine으로 push-out 접착 강도를 측정하였다. 접착 실패가 일어난 시편을 수술용 현미경 하에서 관찰하여 그 실패 양상을 결정하였다. 결과: 치근의 위치에 따른 push-out 접착 강도는 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 전용의 elongation tip을 사용한 그룹이 가장 높은 push-out 접착 강도를 나타냈다. 결론: 레진 시멘트를 포스트에 직접 적용하거나 lentulo-spiral을 사용하는 기존의 방법에 비해 elongation tip을 사용하는 것이 self-adhesive 계면의 결함을 줄이고 근관치료한 치아의 수복 성공율을 높일 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of nano-structured alumina surface coating on shear bond strength between Y-TZP ceramic and various dual-cured resin cements. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 90 disk-shaped zirconia specimens (HASS CO., Gangneung, Korea) were divided into three groups by surface treatment method: (1) airborne particle abrasion, (2) tribochemicalsilica coating, and (3) nano-structured alumina coating. Each group was categorized into three subgroups of ten specimens and bonded with three different types of dual-cured resin cements. After thermocycling, shear bond strength was measured and failure modes were observed through FE-SEM. Two-way ANOVA and the Tukey's HSD test were performed to determine the effects of surface treatment method and type of cement on bond strength (P<.05). To confirm the correlation of surface treatment and failure mode, the Chi-square test was used. RESULTS. Groups treated with the nano-structured alumina coating showed significantly higher shear bond strength compared to other groups treated with airborne particle abrasion or tribochemical silica coating. Clearfil SA Luting showed a significantly higher shear bond strength compared to RelyX ARC and RelyX Unicem. The cohesive failure mode was observed to be dominant in the groups treated with nano-structured alumina coating, while the adhesive failure mode was prevalent in the groups treated with either airborne particle abrasion or tribochemical silica coating. CONCLUSION. Nano-structured alumina coating is an effective zirconia surface treatment method for enhancing the bond strength between Y-TZP ceramic and various dual-cured resin cements.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to determine whether the push-out bond strengths between the radicular dentin and fiber reinforced-composite (FRC) posts with various resin cements decreased or not, according to the coronal, middle or apical level of the root. MATERIALS AND METHODS. FRC posts were cemented with one of five resin cement groups (RelyX Unicem: Uni, Contax with activator & LuxaCore-Dual: LuA, Contax & LuxaCore-Dual: Lu, Panavia F 2.0: PA, Super-Bond C&B: SB) into extracted human mandibular premolars. The roots were sliced into discs at the coronal, middle and apical levels. Push-out bond strength tests were performed with a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min, and the failure aspect was analyzed. RESULTS. There were no significant differences (P>.05) in the bond strengths of the different resin cements at the coronal level, but there were significant differences in the bond strengths at the middle and apical levels (P<.05). Only the Uni and LuA cements did not show any significant decrease in their bond strengths at all the root levels (P>.05); all other groups had a significant decrease in bond strength at the middle or apical level (P<.05). The failure aspect was dominantly cohesive at the coronal level of all resin cements (P<.05), whereas it was dominantly adhesive at the apical level. CONCLUSION. All resin cement groups showed decreases in bond strengths at the middle or apical level except LuA and Uni.

PURPOSE. Fracture of the veneering material of zirconia restorations frequently occurs in clinical situations. The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the fracture strengths of zirconia crowns veneered with various ceramic materials by various techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A 1.2 mm, $360^{\circ}$ chamfer preparation and occlusal reduction of 2 mm were performed on a first mandibular molar, and 45 model dies were fabricated in a titanium alloy by CAD/CAM system. Forty-five zirconia copings were fabricated and divided into three groups. In the first group (LT) zirconia copings were veneered with feldspathic porcelain by the layering technique. In the second group (HT) the glass ceramic was heat-pressed on the zirconia coping, and for the third group (ST) a CAD/CAM-fabricated high-strength anatomically shaped veneering cap was sintered onto the zirconia coping. All crowns were cemented onto their titanium dies with Rely $X^{TM}$ Unicem (3M ESPE) and loaded with a universal testing machine (Instron 5583) until failure. The mean fracture values were compared by an one-way ANOVA and a multiple comparison post-hoc test (${\alpha}$= 0.05). Scanning electron microscope was used to investigate the fractured interface. RESULTS. Mean fracture load and standard deviation was $4263.8{\pm}1110.8$ N for Group LT, $5070.8{\pm}1016.4$ for Group HT and $6242.0{\pm}1759.5$ N for Group ST. The values of Group ST were significantly higher than those of the other groups. CONCLUSION. Zirconia crowns veneered with CAD/CAM generated glass ceramics by the sintering technique are superior to those veneered with feldspathic porcelain by the layering technique or veneered with glass ceramics by the heat-pressing technique in terms of fracture strength.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of multiple firings on the bond strength between yttriatetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP) and 2 types of resin cements. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Sixty 3Y-TZP specimens (LAVA Frame Multi) were divided into 3 groups depending on the following firing procedures: (1) 2-firing cycles, (2) 5-firing cycles, (3) 10-firing cycles. Two samples from each group were investigated by using SEM to determine the morphological changes. All specimens were treated with 125 ㎛ airborne-particle abrasion and the surface roughness of each specimen was measured. The specimens from each firing group were then further divided into 2 subgroups (n = 9) to apply 2 types of resin cement (MDP-free resin cement: RelyX Unicem-RU, and MDP containing resin cement: Panavia F 2.0-PA). The shear bond strength (SBS) test was performed and failure types of all the debonded specimens were classified by using a stereomicroscope as adhesive, cohesive, and mixed. The statistical analysis of surface roughness and SBS data were performed by using 1-way ANOVA and 2-way ANOVA followed by Tukey-HSD tests (α=.05). Failure modes were calculated as a percentage for each group. RESULTS. The bond strength of RU and PA to the specimens obtained with 2 firings were not statistically different from each other (P=.1). However, the SBS values of PA were found to be significantly higher than RU for the specimens obtained with 5 and 10 firing cycles (P=.001 and P=.02, respectively). Surface roughness analysis revealed no statistical difference between groups (P=.2). The SEM analysis of samples fired 5- and 10- times showed irregularities and boundary loss in zirconia grains, and empty spaces between zirconia grains. CONCLUSION. The bond strength of PA cement was higher than that of RU to the zirconia subjected to repeated firings (5 and 10 firing cycles). When zirconia is subjected to multiple firings, using MDP-containing resin cement can be recommended.

PURPOSE. To compare the push-out bond strength of feldspar and zirconia-based ceramic inlays bonded to dentin with different resin cements following simulated aging. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Occlusal cavities in 80 extracted molars were restored in 2 groups (n=40) with CAD/CAM feldspar (Vitablocs Trilux forte) (FP) and zirconia-based (Ceramill Zi) (ZR) ceramic inlays. The fabricated inlays were luted in 2 subgroups (n=20) with either etch-and-bond (RelyX Ultimate Clicker) (EB) or self-adhesive (RelyX Unicem Aplicap) (SA) resin cement. Ten inlays in each subgroup were subjected to 3,500 thermal cycles and 24,000 loading cycles, while the other 10 served as control. Horizontal 3 mm thick specimens were cut out of the restored teeth for push out bond strength testing. Bond strength data were statistically analyzed using 1-way ANOVA and Tukey's comparisons at ${\alpha}=.05$. The mode of ceramic-cement-dentin bond failure for each specimen was also assessed. RESULTS. No statistically significant differences were noticed between FP and ZR bond strength to dentin in all subgroups (ANOVA, P=.05113). No differences were noticed between EB and SA (Tukey's, P>.05) bonded to either type of ceramics. Both adhesive and mixed modes of bond failure were dominant for non-aged inlays. Simulated aging had no significant effect on bond strength values (Tukey's, P>.05) of all ceramic-cement combinations although the adhesive mode of bond failure became more common (60-80%) in aged inlays. CONCLUSION. The suggested cement-ceramic combinations offer comparable bonding performance to dentin substrate either before or after simulated aging that seems to have no adverse effect on the achieved bond.

PURPOSE. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of thickness reduction and fatigue on the failure load of monolithic zirconia crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS. 140 CAD-CAM fabricated crowns (3Y-TZP, inCorisTZI, Dentsply-Sirona) with different ceramic thicknesses (2.0, 1.5, 1.0, 0.8, 0.5 mm, respectively, named G2, G1.5, G1, G0.8, and G0.5) were investigated. Dies of a mandibular first molar were made of composite resin. The zirconia crowns were luted with a resin composite cement (RelyX Unicem 2 Automix, 3M ESPE). Half of the specimens (n = 14 per group) were mouth-motion-fatigued (1.2 million cycles, 1.6 Hz, 200 N/ 5 - 55℃, groups named G2-F, G1.5-F, G1-F, G0.8-F, and G0.5-F). Single-load to failure was performed using a universal testing-machine. Fracture modes were analyzed. Data were statistically analyzed using a Weibull 2-parameter distribution (90% CI) to determine the characteristic strength and Weibull modulus differences among the groups. RESULTS. Three crowns (21%) of G0.8 and five crowns (36%) of G0.5 showed cracks after fatigue. Characteristic strength was the highest for G2, followed by G1.5. Intermediate values were observed for G1 and G1-F, followed by significantly lower values for G0.8, G0.8-F, and G0.5, and the lowest for G0.5-F. Weibull modulus was the lowest for G0.8, intermediate for G0.8-F and G0.5, and significantly higher for the remaining groups. Fatigue only affected G0.5-F. CONCLUSION. Reduced crown thickness lead to reduced characteristic strength, even under failure loads that exceed physiological chewing forces. Fatigue significantly reduced the failure load of 0.5 mm monolithic 3Y-TZP crowns.
