Purpose: This study was to observe the surface and interfacial characteristic of Zirconia by surface treatment. And it was observed the roughness and contact angle according to processing, and the interfacial properties by surface treatment on zirconia. Methods: The oxide formation and ion diffusion between core and veneer ceramic were determined by the X-ray Dot Mapping of EPMA(Electron probe micro analyzer). The roughness was measured by 3D Digital microscope and the contact angle according to processing of zirconia was observed using distilled water on the surface. Results: The surface roughness of the specimens Z04, Z12, Z15 was measured $0.67({\pm}0.03){\mu}m$, $0.50({\pm}0.12){\mu}m$, $0.35({\pm}0.09){\mu}m$, respectively. As results of contact angle test, Z04, Z12, Z15 of specimen group without binder treatment was measured $46.79({\pm}3.17)^{\circ}$, $57.47({\pm}4.83)^{\circ}$, $56.19({\pm}2.66)^{\circ}$, respectively. but, L04, L12, L15 of specimen group without binder treatment was measured $63.84({\pm}2.20)^{\circ}$, $66.08({\pm}0.16)^{\circ}$, $65.10({\pm}1.01)^{\circ}$, respectively. Average contact angle of L15 was measured $65.10({\pm}1.01)^{\circ}$. In X-ray Dot Mapping results, thickness of binder including Al element was measured that each of L04, L12, L15 were $20{\mu}m$, $15{\mu}m$, $10{\mu}m$. Conclusion: The more rough surface increases the wettability, but the sintered exclusive binder decreases the wettability.

PURPOSE. The aim of the present randomized controlled study was to compare prefabricated all-ceramic, anatomically shaped healing abutments followed by all-ceramic abutments and all-ceramic crowns and prefabricated standard-shaped (round-diameter) titanium healing abutments followed by final titanium abutments restored with porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) implant crowns in the premolar and molar regions. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Forty-two patients received single implants restored either by all-ceramic restorations (test group, healing abutment, final abutment, and crown all made of zirconia) or conventional titanium-based restorations. Immediately after prosthetic incorporation and after 12 months of loading, implant survival, technical complications, bone loss, sulcus fluid flow rate (SFFR) as well as plaque index (PI) and implant stability (Periotest) were analyzed clinically and radiologically. RESULTS. After 12 months of loading, an implant and prosthetic survival rate of 100% was observed. Minor prosthetic complications such as chipping of ceramic veneering occurred in both groups. No statistical significant differences were observed between both groups with only a minimum of bone loss, SFFR, and PI. CONCLUSION. All-ceramic implant prostheses including a prefabricated anatomically shaped healing abutment achieved comparable results to titanium-based restorations in the posterior region. However, observational results indicate a benefit as shaping the peri-implant soft-tissue with successive provisional devices and subsequent compression of the soft tissue can be avoided.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the transmittance differences of pressable ceramic core due to thickness within the visible light spectrum. Methods: 36 specimens were divided into 2 groups (0.6mm, 0.8mm) which have each 3 specimens. The size of specimens was 10mm high and 10mm wide. The transmittance of specimens are measured by spectrophotometer Model Cary 500 that can measure infrared-ray, visible wave and ultraviolet-ray. Results: The results shows that there was no significant difference between specimen's thickness(0.6mm, 0.8mm) and transmittance. Conclusion: The individual's color perception is personal and there are numerous factors that influence on it. In general, human eye can perceive the color of thing only within visible light spectrum but in this experiment through spectrophotometer there was no big difference between specimen's thickness(0.6mm, 0.8mm) and transmittance. To sum up, The most important factors were a layed porcelain structure and its thickness rather than core thickness in the porcelain crown. Also, When making all ceramic core with dead pulp (nervous treatment tooth) when used as a restorative esthetic think is more efficient to improve.

치과의사가 수복재료를 선택하고 환자에게 추천할 때는 수복할 치아 위치, 결손 정도, 환자의 심미적 요구도, 저작력, 나이, 경제적 여건 등 여러 가지의 요인을 고려한다. 그렇지만, 수복재료를 선택할 때의 일차적인 기준은 구강 내에서 기능 시 작용하는 교합력을 최우선으로 고려해야 한다. 미국 국립보건원(NIH) 지원으로 조사된 연구 결과에 의하면, 전치부 수복재료로서는 리튬 디실리케이트계 글라스-세라믹이 54%, layered zirconia가 17%, 루사이트 강화 글라스-세라믹이 13% 순을 보여, 전치부 수복재료로서 리튬 디실리케이트계 글라스-세라믹이 가장 많이 사용었다. 또한 구치부 수복재료로서는 단일구조 지르코니아가 32%, 금속-세라믹이 31%, 리튬 디실리케이트계 글라스-세라믹이 21% 순을 나타냈다. 세라믹 수복 재료의 특성을 살펴보면, 단일구조 지르코니아는 강도는 높지만 명도가 높고 저온열화로 인한 강도 저하가 일어날 수 있다. layered zirconia는 심미성은 우수하지만 강도가 낮은 비니어 세라믹의 칩핑과 박리가 문제가 되고 있다. 리튬 디실리케이트계 글라스-세라믹은 심미성은 우수하지만 지르코니아에 비해 강도가 낮으므로 구치부에 적용 시 파절이 일어날 위험성이 있다. 루사이트계 글라스-세라믹은 심미성은 우수하지만 기본적으로 강도가 낮기 때문에 전치부에 한정하여 적용한다. 세라믹 크라운이 구치부 교합력에 저항하기 위해서는 350 MPa 이상의 굴곡강도를 가져야 한다. 리튬 디실리케이트계 글라스-세라믹은 광투과성이 양호한 심미성이 있는 재료이므로 비니어 없이 전치부에 적용할 수 있고, 굴곡강도가 400 MPa 이상이므로 구치부 교합력에 저항할 수 있고, HF에 의한 산부식과 실란(silane) 처리가 가능하므로 레진과 강한 결합력을 얻을 수 있고, 또한 포세린에 비해 대합치의 마모가 적다. 이러한 점들을 고려하면 리튬 디실리케이트계 글라스-세라믹 재료는 전구치부의 단일치 수복에 적합한 성질을 갖고 있음을 알수 있다. 그렇지만 그의 임상 응용이 더욱 증가하기 위해서는 이들 재료에 대한 보다 많은 연구와 이해가 필요하리라고 생각된다.

PURPOSE. The goal of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistances of various monolithic crowns fabricated by computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) with different thickness. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Test dies were fabricated as mandibular molar forms with occlusal reductions using CAD/CAM. With different occlusal thickness (1.0 or 1.5 mm), a polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (Enamic, EN), and zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (Suprinity, SU and Celtra-Duo, CD) were used to fabricate molar crowns. Lithium disilicate (e.max CAD, EM) crowns (occlusal: 1.5 mm) were fabricated as control. Seventy crowns (n=10 per group) were bonded to abutments and stored in water for 24 hours. A universal testing machine was used to apply load to crown until fracture. The fractured specimens were examined with a scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS. The type of ceramics and the occlusal thickness showed a significant interaction. With a recommended thickness (1.5 mm), the SU revealed the mean load similar to the EM, higher compared with those of the EN and CD. The fracture loads in a reduced thickness (1.0 mm) were similar among the SU, CD, and EN. The mean fracture load of the SU and CD enhanced significantly when the occlusal thickness increased, whereas that of the EN did not. CONCLUSION. The fracture loads of monolithic crowns were differently influenced by the changes in occlusal thickness, depending on the type of ceramics. Within the limitations of this study, all the tested crowns withstood the physiological masticatory loads both at the recommended and reduced occlusal thickness.

Statement of problem : Most posts are metallic, but in response to the need for a post that possesses optical properties compatible with an all-ceramic crown. an esthetic post has been developed. Although there have been many studies about the esthetic post materials, 3-dimensional finite element studies about the stress distribution of them are in rare. Purpose : The purpose of this study is to investigate comparatively the distribution of stresses of the restored, endodontically treated maxillary incisors with the esthetic post materials and the displacement on the cement layer on simulated occlusal loading by using a 3-dimensional finite element analysis model. Material and method : Four 3-dimensional finite element models were constructed in a view of a maxillary central incisor, a post, a core, and the supporting tissues to investigate the stresses in various esthetic posts and cores and the displacement on the cement layer (Model 1 ; Cast gold post and core, Model 2 ; Glass fiber post with composite core, Model 3 ; Zirconia post with composite core. Model 4 ; Zirconia post with ceramic core). Force of 300N was applied to the incisal edge and the cingulum (centric stop point) with the angle of 135-degree to the long axis of the tooth. Results : 1. The stresses and displacement on the incisal edge were higher than on the cingulum 2. The stresses in dentin were the highest in Model 2 (Glass fiber post with composite core), and the second was Model 3, the third Model 1, and the lowest Model 4. 3. The stresses in post and core were the highest in Model 4 (Zirconia post with ceramic core), and the second was Model 1, the third Model 3, and the lowest Model 2. 4. The displacement on the cement layer was the highest in Model 2 (Glass fiber post with composite core), and the second was Model 3, the third Model 1, and the lowest Model 4. Conclusion : When a functional maximum bite force was applied, the distribution of stresses or the esthetic post and core materials and the displacement on the cement layer were a little different. It seems that restoring extensively damaged incisors with esthetic post and core materials would be decided according to the remaining tooth structure.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare with color reproducibility of the coating method and dipping method using a colour liquid. Methods: Two groups of square-shaped specimens ($10mm{\times}10mm$ in diameter, 1.5mm thickness) were prepared for analysis(n=15/group). The CM(Coating Method) group was fabricated as full zirconia specimens with the coating coloring method and Group DM(Dipping Method) was prepared as specimens of 0.7 mm-thick zirconia plate using the dipping coloring method and veneered with 0.8mm-thick porcelain. Color parameters were measured with ShadeEye $NCC^{(R)}$ spectrophotometer and color differences were calculated using the equation ${\Delta}E^*= \{({\Delta}L^*)^2+({\Delta}a^*)^2+({\Delta}b^*)^2\}^{1/2}$. Non-parametric statistical methods, the Mann-Whitney test, and the Kruskal-Wallis test were used to analyze the data. Type one error rate was set at 0.05. Results: Color difference values larger than 7 were observed between specimens with the coating method and the dipping method, which were detectable difference in a clinical setting. Conclusion: Cautious application of the coating coloring method in a clinical setting and further researches to standardize the coating method are needed.

제한된 조건 하에서 수행된 본 연구에서 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 치과용 캐드캠을 이용하여 제작된 지르코니아 코어의 변연 및 내면 적합도보다 전통적인 방식을 이용하여 제작한 금속 코어가 모든 부위에서 우수하였다(p<.001). 2. 두 그룹 모두에서 적합도가 가장 미흡한 부분은 절단부였고, 축벽부가 가장 우수한 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과를 볼 때 아직까지는 치과용 캐드캠을 이용하여 보철물을 제작하는 것이 기존의 기공 방식을 이용하여 제작된 보철물의 적합도만큼 만족스럽지는 못하였으나 임상적 허용 범위 안에 존재하였다는 점에서 치과용 캐드캠은 임상적으로 사용이 가능한 것으로 판단된다. 앞으로 기계가 개선되고 가공 방식이 지금보다 발전한다면 기존의 기공 방식을 이용하여 제작되는 보철물의 완성도를 능가할 것으로 생각된다.
