Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the microshear bond strength (${\mu}SBS$) of different universal adhesive systems applied to hybrid computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) restorative materials repaired with a composite resin. Materials and Methods: Four types of CAD-CAM hybrid block materials-Lava Ultimate (LA), Vita Enamic (VE), CeraSmart (CS), and Shofu Block HC (SH)-were used in this study, in combination with the following four adhesive protocols: 1) control: porcelain primer + total etch adhesive (CO), 2) Single Bond Universal (SB), 3) All Bond Universal (AB), and 4) Clearfil Universal Bond (CU). The ${\mu}SBS$ of the composite resin (Clearfil Majesty Esthetic) was measured and the data were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance and the Tukey test, with the level of significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The CAD-CAM block type and block-adhesive combination had significant effects on the bond strength values (p < 0.05). Significant differences were found between the following pairs of groups: VE/CO and VE/AB, CS/CO and CS/AB, VE/CU and CS/CU, and VE/AB and CS/AB (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The ${\mu}SBS$ values were affected by hybrid block type. All tested universal adhesive treatments can be used as an alternative to the control treatment for repair, except the AB system on VE blocks (the VE/AB group). The ${\mu}SBS$ values showed variation across different adhesive treatments on different hybrid CAD-CAM block types.

The hybrid composite materials are recently used in many field as an advanced material due to their high resistance to fracture. However, hybrid composite materials have several problems, especially delamination, compared with homogeneous materials such as an aluminum alloy, etc. In this study, we carried out the tensile test to study the tension failure appearances and tensile ultimate strength of CFRP/Al/CFRP hybrid composite materials. The CFRP material used in the experiment is a commercial material known as CU175NS in unidirectional carbon prepreg. Also Al/CFRP/Al hybrid composites with three kind length of a single edge crack were investigated for the relationship between an aluminium volume fraction and a crack length. The crack length was measured by a traveling microscope under a universal dynamic tester. Futhermore the stress intensity factor behavior was examined according to a volume fraction and an initial crack length ratio to a width.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different modeling agents on the surface microhardness (Vickers hardness number; VHN), roughness (Ra), and color change (ΔE) of a nano-hybrid composite with or without exposure to discoloration by coffee. Materials and Methods: Sixty-four cylinder-shaped nano-hybrid composite specimens were prepared using a Teflon mold. The specimens' surfaces were prepared according to the following groups: group 1, no modeling agent; group 2, Modeling Liquid; group 3, a universal adhesive (G-Premio Bond); and group 4, the first step of a 2-step self-adhesive system (OptiBond XTR). Specimens were randomly allocated into 2 groups (n = 8) according to the storage medium (distilled water or coffee). VHN, Ra, and ΔE were measured at 24 hours, 1 week, and 6 weeks. The Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Bonferroni correction for pairwise comparisons was used for statistical analysis (α = 0.05). Results: Storage time did not influence the VHN of the nano-hybrid composite in any group (p > 0.05). OptiBond XTR Primer application affected the VHN negatively in all investigated storage medium and time conditions (p < 0.05). Modeling Liquid application yielded improved Ra values for the specimens stored in coffee at each time point (p < 0.05). Modeling Liquid application was associated with the lowest ΔE values in all investigated storage medium and time conditions (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Different types of modeling agents could affect the surface properties and discoloration of nano-hybrid composites.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the bonding effects of cleaning protocols on dentin impregnated with endodontic sealer residues using ethanol (E) or xylol (X). The effects of dentin acid etching immediately (I) or 7 days (P) after cleaning were also evaluated. For bonding to dentin, universal adhesive (Scotchbond Universal; 3M ESPE) was used. The persistence of sealer residues, hybrid layer formation and microshear bond strength were the performed analysis. Materials and Methods: One hundred and twenty bovine dentin specimens were allocated into 4 groups (n = 10): G1 (E+I); G2 (X+I); G3 (E+P); and G4 (X+P). The persistence of sealer residues was evaluated by SEM. Confocal laser scanning microscopy images were taken to measure the formed hybrid layer using the Image J program. For microshear bond strength, 4 resin composite cylinders were placed over the dentin after the cleaning protocols. ANOVA followed by Tukey test and Kruskal-Wallis followed by Dunn test were used for parametric and non-parametric data, respectively (α = 5%). Results: G2 and G4 groups showed a lower persistence of residues (p < 0.05) and thicker hybrid layer than the other groups (p < 0.05). No bond strength differences among all groups were observed (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Dentin cleaning using xylol, regardless of the time-point of acid etching, provided lower persistence of residues over the surface and thicker hybrid layer. However, the bond strength of the universal adhesive system in etch-and-rinse strategy was not influenced by the cleaning protocols or time-point of acid etching.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two polishing methods and chemical conditioning on the surface of hybrid composites. Ninety cylindrical specimens (diameter：8mm, depth：2mm) were made with three hybrid composites-Filtek Z250, Tetric Ceram. DenFil. Specimens for each composite were randomly divided into three treatment subgroups $^{\circled1}$ Mylar strip (no treatment). $^{\circled2}$ Sof-Lex XT system, $^{\circled3}$ PoGo system. Average surface roughness(Ra) was taken using a surface profilometer at the time of setting and after immersion into 0.02N lactic acid for 1 week and 1 month. Representative specimens were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and Scheffe's tests at 0.05% significance level. The results were as follows：1. Mylar strip resulted in smoother surface than PoGo and Sof-Lex system (p<0.001). Sof-Lex system gave the worst results. 2. Tetric Ceram was smoother than DenFil and Z250 when cured under only mylar strip. However, it was significantly rougher than other materials when polished with PoGo system. 3. All materials showed rough surface after storage in 0.02N lactic acid, except groups polished with a PoGo system. The PoGo system gave a superior polish than Sof-Lex system for the three composites. However. the correlation to clinical practice may be limited, since there are several processes. such as abrasive, fatigue, and corrosive mechanisms. Thus. further studies are needed for polishing technique under in vivo conditions.

탄소나노섬유는 기계적, 전기적, 화학적, 열적 성질 등의 우수하고, 독특한 특성을 가진다. 이러한 탄소나노섬유의 우수한 물성에도 불구하고, 탄소나노섬유가 강화된 고분자 복합재료의 물성은 비례적으로 증가하지 않는다. 이러한 원인은 탄소나노섬유가 고분자 재료 내에 고루 분산되지 못하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 복합재료의 기계적 물성을 향상시키기 위해, 탄소나노섬유가 강화된 하이브리드 복합재료에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 탄소나노섬유의 고른 분산을 위해, 초음파 분산장치를 이용한 용융 혼합방법을 이용하였고, 전자현미경(SEM)을 통해 탄소나노섬유의 분산정도를 확인하였으며, 만능시험기(UTM)를 이용하여 탄소나노섬유가 강화된 하이브리드 복합재료의 기계적 물성을 평가하였다.

PURPOSE. This study evaluated the color stabilities of two computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) blocks and a nanofill composite resin and the microtensile bond strength (µTBS) between the materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Twelve specimens of 4 mm height were prepared for both Lava Ultimate (L) and Vita Enamic (E) CAD/CAM blocks. Half of the specimens were thermocycled (10,000 cycle, 5° to 55℃) for each material. Both thermocycled and non-thermocycled specimens were surface treated with one of the three different methods (Er,Cr:YSGG laser, bur, or control). For each surface treatment group, one of the thermocycled and one of non-thermocycled specimens were restored using silane (Ceramic Primer II), universal adhesive (Single Bond Universal), and nanofill composite resin of 4-mm height (Filtek Ultimate). The other specimens were restored with the same procedure without using silane. For each group, 1 × 1 × 8 mm bar specimens were prepared using a microcutting device. Bar specimens were thermocycled (10,000 cycle, 5° to 55℃) and microtensile tests were performed. Staining of the materials in coffee solution was also compared using a spectrophotometer. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, t-test and post-hoc Scheffe tests. RESULTS. µTBS were found similar between the thermocycled and non-thermocycled groups (P>.05). The highest µTBS (20.818 MPa) was found in the non-thermocycled, bur-ground, silane-applied E group. Silane increased µTBS at some E groups (P<.05). Composite resin specimens showed more staining than CAD/CAM blocks (P<.05). CONCLUSION. CAD/CAM blocks can be repaired with composite resins after proper surface treatments. Using silane is recommended in repair process. Color differences may be shown between CAD/CAM blocks and the nanofill composite after a certain time period.

목적: 본 연구에서는 치과용 CAD-CAM (computer aided design-computer aided manufacturing) hybrid 수복재료인 LAVA Ultimate와 VITA ENAMIC을 광중합 복합레진을 사용하여 수리할 때 표면처리방법(grinding, air abrasion with aluminum oxide, HF acid)과 접착재료(Adper Single Bond 2, Single Bond Universal)의 종류가 두 재료 사이의 전단결합강도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법: LAVA Ultimate와 VITA ENAMIC 시편을 30일간 $37^{\circ}C$의 인공타액(Xerova solution)에 보관하여 시효처리를 실시한 후 각각 SiC paper grinding한 것, grinding 후 air abrasion처리를 추가한 것, grinding 후 HF 처리한 것으로 분류하고 각각 no bonding, Adper Single Bond 2, 또는, Single Bond Universal 도포로 세분하여 9개의 group, 총 18개의 subgroup으로 나누어 실험을 실시하였다(N=10). HF 처리group에서는 도재시편을 대조군으로 추가하였다(N=10). 표면 처리 후 광중합 복합레진(Filtek Z250)을 각각의 시편에 부착하고 이를 1주일간 실온의 물에 침적시켰고 이후 전단결합강도를 측정하고 파절양상 및 표면처리 효과를 SEM으로 확인하였다. One-way ANOVA를 이용하여 group 간의 유의성을 분석하였고 사후 분석으로 Scheffe test를 실시하였다(${\alpha}=.05$). 결과: 실험 결과 접착재료 처리를 한 group들이 접착재료 처리를 하지 않은 group에 비해 모든 표면처리에서 더 높은 전단결합력을 나타내었으며, 표면처리만 시행한 group에서는 aluminum oxide air abrasion이 전단결합력의 증가에 약간의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 통계적 유의성은 보이지 않았다. 결론: LAVA Ultimate와 VITA ENAMIC의 두 재료를 광중합 복합레진을 이용하여 수리를 실시할 경우 각각의 재료에 적합한 표면처리방법과 접착재료의 선택에 대한 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 특히 LAVA Ultimate의 경우 접착재료의 사용은 추천된다고 사료되었다.
