  • The non-vital bleaching technique has been used widely as a very effective treatment method on discolored non-vital teeth. But periodontal tissue deterioration and cervical external root resorption have been reported because of the high toxicity of hydrogen peroxide in bleaching agents. So in previous studies, placement of base over the root canal obturation prior to bleaching has been suggested in order to prevent microleakage of bleaching agents, however, the effectiveness of base is still controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of base and root canal sealer on prevention of leakage of bleaching agents in non-vital bleaching. Fifty-two extracted sound teeth with single root were used. For root canal obturation, Tubuli seal$^{(R)}$(Kerr Co., USA) was used in 39 teeth and in others, AH-26$^{(R)}$(De Trey Dentsply, Inc., Switzerland) was used as a root canal sealer. 26 teeth among the teeth obturated with Tubuli seal$^{(R)}$ were divided into two groups, and Dentin cement$^{(R)}$(GC corp., Japan) and JRM$^{(R)}$(De Trey Dentsply, Inc. Germany) were used in each group as a intracanal base. In all teeth, non-vital bleaching using bleaching agent mixed with methylene blue dye was performed and all specimens were stored in $37^{\circ}C$ water bath for 72 hours. After sectioning longitudinally, the depth of dye leakage was measured with digital vernier calipers under the stereobinocular microscope using ${\times}40$ magnification. It can be concluded as follows: 1. The microleakage of bleaching agent was observed ill all groups regardless of type of the base and the sealer. 2. The microleakage in the groups using AH-26$^{(R)}$ as a sealer was significantly reduced (p<0.05). 3. In the groups with intracanal base, micro leakage was observed through almost the whole depth of the base and there was no significant difference between Dentin cement$^{(R)}$ and IRM$^{(R)}$ group(p>0.05). In conclusion, all the basing materials and the sealers in this study did not prevent the microleakage of bleaching agent. Therefore further studies and attempts to seal off the pulp chamber will be necessary.

  • Background/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Nd:YAG irradiation on adherence of retrograde filling materials (mineral trioxide aggregate [MTA] and Super-EBA) by micro-computed tomography (CT) measurement and to observe the dentinal surface after irradiation by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Materials and methods: Forty retrofilling models using extracted human teeth were divided into four groups according to the material and method used: ProRoot MTA (MTA group), Super-EBA (EBA group), MTA with Nd:YAG laser irradiation (LMTA group), and Super-EBA with Nd:YAG laser irradiation (LEBA group). All specimens were stored in 100% humidity for 24 hours until micro-CT was performed. The gap volume of the tooth/material interface was measured using the CTAn program. In six samples, the laser-irradiated dentin surface was observed using SEM. Results: The mean percent difference in gap volume was not statistically significant between the Nd:YAG laser-irradiated groups and non-irradiated in both materials(P > 0.05). The gap volume in the MTA group was significantly lower than that in the EBA group (P < 0.05). Examination of the non-irradiated specimens by SEM showed patent dentinal tubules. In contrast, alterations in the texture of the dentin surface and obliteration of the dentinal tubules were evident in the Nd:YAG laser-irradiated specimens. Conclusion: In this study, changes in the dentinal surface after Nd:YAG irradiation did not affect adherence between the apical filling material and the dentin wall.

  • The purpose of this study was to compare the sealing ability of root canal obturation with or without the use of dentin adhesive system. Forty extracted human teeth with one canal were selected and decoronated. The teeth were divided into two Groups. The obturation procedure of Group 1 was the same as that of Group 2 with the exception of dentin adhesive system. Group 2 were obturated with dentin adhesive system, AH-26, and gutta-percha. After obturation, the teeth were immersed in methylene blue solution for 84 hours. The teeth were sectioned horizontally at 1.5 mm (Level 1), 2.0 mm (Level 2) 2.5 mm (Level 3) from the root apex using a low speed microtome. Distance of dye-penetrated surface and total dentinal surface were measured using SigmaScan Pro 5.0, and the ratio of dye-penetrated distance to the total dentinal distance was analyzed statistically by Mann-Whitney U-test. 1. In both groups, the mean leakage ratio was decreased cervically. 2. At level 1, there was no significant difference between group 1 and group 2 (p > 0.05). 3. At level 2 and 3, group 1 showed significantly higher mean leakage ratio than group 2 (p < 0.05). The results suggest that using dentin adhesive system in root canal obturation procedure reduces the apical microleakage.

  • 3차원적으로 잘 충전된 근관은 치근단 누출과 재감염을 방지하며, 조직이 잘 치유될 수 있는 생물학적 환경을 제공해준다. 이 때문에 근관계의 완전한 충전은 근관치료의 중요한 목표 중의 하나이다. 본 연구의 목적은 4가지 방법으로 근관충전 후 디지털 방사선 사진을 촬영하여 근관충전의 질을 평가하고 투명표본을 제작하여 색소침투범위를 측정함으로써, 근관충전방법에 따른 치근단부 폐쇄능을 비교 평가하고자 하는 것이다. 직선형의 단근관을 갖는 80개의 전치를 선택하여 ProFile$^{\circledR}$ 니켈-티타늄 회전식 기구를 사용하여 근관을 성형한 후 무작위로 20개씩 4군으로 나누었다. 사용된 근관충전법은 다음과 같다:MicroSeal$^{\circledR}$(Group A), Thermafil$^{\circledR}$(Group B), Continuous wave 충전법(Group C), 측방가압충전법(Group D), 각 군에서 10개 치아는 Sealapex를, 나머지 10개 치아는 AH26$^{\circledR}$을 충전용 시멘트로 사용하였다. 근관충전이 끝난 치아는 충전의 질과 길이를 평가하기 위해, 근원심과 협설방향으로 디지털 방사선 사진을 이용하여 촬영하였다. 각 치아의 치근단부 2mm를 제외한 나머지 부위는 두겹의 nail varnish를 바르고, 2% methlylene blue용액에 48시간동안 침잠시켰다. 흐르는 물에 깨끗이 세척한 후, 투명치아를 만들었다. 선상의 색소침투를 관찰하고 치관측 최대깊이를 입체현미경하에서 40배율로 평가하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 충전방법에 따른 근단부 폐쇄효과를 비교시, 실험군 모두 비교적 양호한 근단부 폐쇄효과를 보였고 통계학적으로 유의성이 없었다. 2. 충전용 시멘트에 따른 근단부 폐쇄효과를 비교시, AH26$^{\circledR}$을 사용한 군에서 Sealapex를 사용한 군보다 더 적은 색소침 투를 나타냈다(p<0.05). MicroSeal$^{\circledR}$을 이용한 실험 1군내에서 AH26$^{\circledR}$을 사용하였을 때 미세누출이 더 적었고(p<0.05), 다른 군내에서는 통계학적으로 유의성이 없었다. 3. 근단부 충전상태에 따른 미세누출 비교시, 저충전, 과충전과 색소침투간에는 상관관계가 없었다. 4.충전방법에 따른 근단부 충전상태 평가시, Thermafil$^{\circledR}$을 이용한 실험 2군에서 과충전이 많이 나타났다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과로, 기존의 측방가압법 및 여러 열가소성 충전법이 유사한 근단부 폐쇄효과를 나타낸 바, 방법에 따른 술자의 숙련도, 충전시간, 재근관치료의 편이성 등을 고려하여 근관충전방법을 선택하는 것이 합리적일 것이라고 사료된다.

  • The application of Nd:YAG laser and irrigants to the root surface can change its surface configurations. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Nd:YAG laser and irrigants on the apical seal of obturated canals. In this study, 66 single rooted teeth were randomly assigned to 4 group of 14 teeth each. 8 teeth were served us positive and negative controls. The teeth were divided into 6 groups as follows. Group A: Nd:YAG laser, 5% NaOCl + Rc-prep Group B: Nd:YAG laser, Saline Group C: 5% NaOCl + Rc-prep Group D: Saline Group E: Positive control Group F: Negative control 66 teeth were instrumented using Maillefer ProFile$^{\circledR}$ (Orifice Shapers, .04 taper, .06 taper Dentsply, Switzerland). Two of each group were selected at random, and the canal wall surfaces were examined under a SEM. 12 teeth of each group were obturated using by lateral condensation technique. Specimens were immersed in india ink for 7days, decalcified by 10% nitric acid, dehydrated by 75. 80. 85, 90, 95 and 100% alcohol in order cleared by methyl salicylate and then measured of dye penetration with stereomicroscope($\times$15 magnification) and Image Pro plus. The data were analyzed statistically by one-way ANOVA test and Duncan's Multiple Range test. The results were as follows : 1. The mean leakage was 0.128$\pm$0.376 for group A, 0.237$\pm$0.325 for group B, 0.397$\pm$0.468 for group C, 0.586$\pm$0.402 for group D, and there were statistically significant differences between group A and group D, group B and group D. (p<0.05). 2. Group A had better sealing ability than Group C, but there was statistically no significant differences. (p>0.05). 3. Group B had better sealing ability than Group D and there was statistically significant difference. (p<0.05). 4 Group A had better sealing ability than Group B, but there was statistically no significant difference. (p>0.05). 5. Group C had better sealing ability than Group D, but there was statistically no significant difference. (p>0.05). 6. As a result of observation under SEM, Smear layers were removed in Group A, B. but Smear layers were partially removed and smear plugs were remained in Group C, Smear layers were not removed in Group D. To be specially, Melting of smear layer were showed in Group C. 7. These results suggests that the laser has a potential in reducing the apical microleakage of obturated canals.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of canal preparation on the property of apical seal. Seventy canals from extracted human maxillary and mandibular teeth were randomly selected and divided into two groups: conventional group and step-back group. Thirty five canals in one group were enlarged with a, conventional preparation method and thirty five canals in the other group were instrumented in a step-back method with K-file. After instrumentation sixty canals were obturated by lateral condensation of gutta percha and zinc oxide eugenol cement, and five canals in each group were not filled and used as control. All the specimens were immersed in 2% methylene blue dye solution and the depth of dye penetration into the canals were observed by macroscope at the intervals of 1 day, 2 days, and 7 days. The following results were obtained. 1. All the canals experimented showed varying degrees of dye penetration. 2. There was no significant difference between conventional method and step-back method in the depth of dye penetration and the degree of dye penetration tended to increase with time passage in both groups. 3, In conventional preparation group the mean dye penetration was 3.6mm at 1 day, 4.8mm at 2 days. and 6.5mm at 7 days. 4. In step-back prepareation group, the specimens exposed to the dye for 1 day showed mean dye penetration of 4.1mm, and the specimens immersed in the dye for 2 days and 7 days revealed mean dye penetration of 4.6mm and 6.2mm respectively.

  • Purpose: The entry of bacteria or harmful substances through the epithelial seal of human gingival keratinocytes (HGKs) in the junctional epithelium (JE) is blocked by specialized intercellular junctions such as E-cadherin junctions (ECJs). However, the influence of roughened substrates, which may occur due to apical migration of the JE, root planing, or peri-implantitis, on the development of the ECJs of HGKs remains largely unknown. Methods: HGKs were cultured on substrates with varying levels of roughness, which were prepared by rubbing hydrophobic polystyrene dishes with silicon carbide papers. The activity of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) was inhibited with SP600125 or by transfection with JNK short hairpin RNA. The development of intercellular junctions was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy or confocal laser scanning microscopy after immunohistochemical staining of the cells for E-cadherin. The expression level of phospho-JNK was assessed by immunoblotting. Results: HGKs developed tight intercellular junctions devoid of wide intercellular gaps on smooth substrates and on rough substrates with low-nanometer dimensions (average roughness $[Ra]=121.3{\pm}13.4nm$), although the ECJs of HGKs on rough substrates with low-nanometer dimensions developed later than those of HGKs on smooth substrates. In contrast, HGKs developed short intercellular junctions with wide intercellular gaps on rough substrates with mid- or high-nanometer dimensions ($Ra=505.3{\pm}115.3nm$, $867.0{\pm}168.6nm$). Notably, the stability of the ECJs was low on the rough substrates, as demonstrated by the rapid destruction of the cell junction following calcium depletion. Inhibition of JNK activity promoted ECJ development in HGKs. JNK was closely associated with cortical actin in the regulation of ECJs in HGKs. Conclusions: These results indicate that on rough substrates with nanometer dimensions, the ECJs of HGKs develop slowly or defectively, and that this effect can be reversed by inhibiting JNK.

  • Gutta-percha와 근관sealer를 사용한 근관 충전은 가장 많이 이용되고 성공률이 높은 방법이지만, 현재 사용되는 모든 근관sealer는 미세누출을 나타낸다. 따라서 더 효과적인 근관 폐쇄를 이루기 위한 재료 및 방법들이 연구되어왔다. 이중 상아질 접착제는 근관 충전재와 함께 사용되어 미세누출을 감소시키지만, 근관 내에 사용하기에 술식이 복잡하고 기술이 요구된다. 본 연구의 목적은 gutta-percha와 레진계 근관 sealer로 충전한 근관에서 self-etching primer를 미리 도포한 경우와 도포하지 않은 경우의 치근단 미세누출을 비교하고, self-etching primer를 도포함에 있어 근관 내에 적용하는 방법에 따른 미세누출을 비교하는 것이다. 또한 근관sealer와 상아질 계면을 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하여, 이 결과를 미세누출과 관련시켜보고자 하였다. 36개의 발거된 사람의 단근치에서 치관부를 절단, 제거하고 ProFile로 근관 형성한 후, 무작위로 선택하여 4개의 군으로 분류하였다. 1군에서는 주사기와 30게이지 주사 바늘로 self-etching primer를 근관 내에 적용하였고, 2군에서는 self-etching primer를 paper point에 적셔 근관 내에 적용하였다. 3군에서는 self-etching primer를 적용하지 않았다. 1, 2, 3군의 치아를 gutta-percha와 AH26 sealer를 사용하여 continuous wave 충전법으로 충전한 후 치근단공 주위 3mm를 제외한 치근변에 nail polish를 2회 도포하였고, 4군(음성 대조군)은 치근면 전체에 도포하였다. 1군과 2군에서 각각 2개의 치아는 주사전자현미경적 관찰을 위해 준비하였다. 모든 치아를 Methylene Blue 수용액에 48시간동안 침적, 수세한 후 치아 장축에 평행하게 양분하여 10배의 실물확대현미경 하에서 치근단 색소 침투를 관찰하였다. Self-etching primer를 도포한 군과 도포하지 않은 군 사이에는 평균 미세누출량에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 주사 바늘로 적용한 군과 paper point로 적용한 군 사이에도 평균 미세누출량에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 상아질과 근관 sealer계면의 주사전자현미경 관찰 결과 일부분에서 긴밀한 접착 관계를 나타내었고, 다른 부분에서는 간극을 나타내었다.

  • Statement of problem: The endodontically treated tooth is generally restored with post and core, owing to the brittle and the loss of large amount of tooth structure. As periodontal treatment was developed, there are many cases that periodontally involved teeth used in prosthetic treatment. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the stress distribution in the dentin and post structures by the various post materials and the amount of remaining alveolar bone height. Material and method: The 3-dimensional finite element models of mandible 1st premolars were divided into six types according to the various amount of remaining alveolar bone and post type. All types were modeled using equal length, diameter and shape of the post. Three types of post and core materials were used: prefabricated titaniumpost and amalgam core, prefabricated stainless steel post and amalgam core, and cast gold post and core. 300 Newton force was applied to functional cusp of mandible 1st premolar. Results: The results were as follows: First, there was no apparent difference in the pattern of stress distribution according to the alveolar bone condition concentrate on the post middle area. Second, there was difference in pattern of stress distribution according to the core materials, gold post and core generated same than amalgam core. Third, there was no apparent difference in the pattern of stress distribution within the dentin according to the post and core materials. But a cast gold post and core generated the lowest maximum stress value, a stainless steel post generated the highest maximum stress value. Fourth, in the reduced alveolar bone model, maximum stress value is 1.5 times than that of the normal alveolar bone model. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, to provide minimal stress to the root with alveolar bone reduced, the post length may be as long as apical seal was not destroyed. To prevent fracture of tooth, it is rational to use gold alloy which material was good for stress distribution for post materials.
