Objectives: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis, that the effectiveness of irrigation in removing smear layer in the apical third of root canal system is dependent on the depth of placement of the irrigation needle into the root canal and the enlargement size of the canal. Materials and Methods: Eighty sound human lower incisors were divided into eight groups according to the enlargement size (#25, #30, #35 and #40) and the needle penetration depth (3 mm from working length, WL-3 mm and 9 mm from working length, WL-9 mm). Each canal was enlarged to working length with Profile.06 Rotary Ni-Ti files and irrigated with 5.25% NaOCl. Then, each canal received a final irrigation with 3 mL of 3% EDTA for 4 min, followed by 5 mL of 5.25% NaOCl at different level (WL-3 mm and WL-9 mm) from working length. Each specimen was prepared for the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Photographs of the 3mm area from the apical constriction of each canal with a magnification of ${\times}250$, ${\times}500$, ${\times}1,000$, ${\times}2,500$ were taken for the final evaluation. Results: Removal of smear layer in WL-3 mm group showed a significantly different effect when the canal was enlarged to larger than #30. There was a significant difference in removing apical smear layer between the needle penetration depth of WL-3 mm and WL-9 mm. Conclusions: Removal of smear layer from the apical portion of root canals was effectively accomplished with apical instrumentation to #35/40 06 taper file and 3 mm needle penetration from the working length.

Materials and methods: Sixty extracted premolars were assigned to three groups according to the root canal system (Weine's classification; type I, II and III) of 20 teeth each using radiographic examination. The root tip was cut horizontally 1 mm from the anatomical apex and the apical cross-section was visualized using microscope at x50 magnification and photographed. Minimum and maximum apical root canal diameter of each tooth was measured and classified into three types by canal morphology (round, oval and flattened shape). Statistical analysis was performed to compare the apical root canal diameter and morphology according to the root canal system. Results: In apical root canal morphology at cross-sectional view, the most common shape was round in type I, flat in type II, and oval in type III. In apical root canal diameters at cross-sectional view, there was a significant difference between the minimum and maximum diameter in all types (p<0.05). The maximum diameter was 0.331 mm in type I, 0.519 mm in type II, and 0.310 mm in type III. There was a significant difference among type I, III and type II (p<0.05). Conclusion: The morphology and diameter of apical root canal was different according to the root canal system. Therefore, clinicians should consider the apical file size in view of the apical root canal shape according to the root canal system.

본 연구에서는 근관형성의 치근단 크기가 근관 충전의 치근단 폐쇄에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 36개의 단근관, 단근치를 대상으로 3가지 치근단 크기 (Master apical file : #25, #40, #60)에 따라 3가지 실험군으로 나누어 $Profile^{(R)}$과 $LightSpeed^{(R)}$를 이용하여 근관을 확대하고, Modified continuous wave technique으로 근관충전을 시행하였다. 미세누출의 측정을 위해 실험군당 10개의 치아를 1주일간 India ink에 넣어 색소 침투를 일으키고 치아를 투명화시켜 미세누출의 정도를 측정하였다. 미세누출에 치근단 크기가 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA를 시행하였고, 사후 검정을 위하여 Student-Newman-Keuls method를 시행하였다. 또한, 치아 단면의 형태를 관찰하기 위하여 색소 침투까지 실행된 각 실험군당 2개의 치아를 근첨 1 mm에서 4 mm까지 1 mm간격으로 수평 절단하고 사진 촬영하였다. 각 실험군에서 측정된 미세누출양을 Krustal-Wallis one-way ANOVA에서 분석한 결과 치근단 크기는 유의성 있게 (P < 0.05) 미세누출에 영향을 미쳤으며 치근단 크기가 클수록 미세누출의 평균간과 표준편차 값은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. Student-Newman-Keuls method를 통한 사후 검정에서 치근단 크기가 #25 - #40, #25 - #60에서 유의 한 차이를 보였으며 #40 - #60간에는 통계적인 유의차는 없었다. 단면형태에서는 대부분의 치아에서 난원형의 근관 형태를 관찰 할 수 있었고, 치근단의 크기가 작을수록 성형된 근관에 불규칙한 내면이 존재하였고 gutta-percha나 sealer로 충전되지 않는 recess의 면적이 증가함을 알 수 있었으며 이러한 recess는 미세누출의 통로가 됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과, Modified continuous wave technique으로 근관충전시 근관 형성된 치근단 크기가 커질수록 보다 일관되고 성공적 인 결과를 예상할 수 있는 근관충전을 시행할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The author examined 515 full mouth roentgenograms stored in the Dept. of Oral Radiology, College of Dentistry, Seoul National University. For evaluating the efficiency of the routine full mouth roentgenogram, each of abnormal conditions such as impacted teeth, missing, caries, crown, filling and apical lesions was observed. The results obtained were as follows; 1. Among 14.420 teeth examined, missing teeth were 174, impacted 16, caries 161 and treated 1,162. 2. The incidence of impacted third molar was close to 18.7 percent and the incidence of missing third molar was about 33.4 percent. 3. Among carious and treated teeth, 178 teeth (1.2%) were needed observation of root apex. And of these teeth, 119 teeth 0.8% were observed with apical lesion. 4. There is a considerable relation between the incidence or size of apical lesion and the accuracy of endodontical treat. 5. Among the teeth with apical lesion, upper and lower first molars were most frequent (about 41%), upper and lower canine were rare (about 1.7%).

Objectives: Glide path preparation is recommended to reduce torsional failure of nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments and to prevent root canal transportation. This study evaluated whether the repetitive insertions of G-files to the working length maintain the apical size as well as provide sufficient lumen as a glide path for subsequent instrumentation. Materials and Methods: The G-file system (Micro-Mega) composed of G1 and G2 files for glide path preparation was used with the J-shaped, simulated resin canals. After inserting a G1 file twice, a G2 file was inserted to the working length 1, 4, 7, or 10 times for four each experimental group, respectively (n = 10). Then the canals were cleaned by copious irrigation, and lubricated with a separating gel medium. Canal replicas were made using silicone impression material, and the diameter of the replicas was measured at working length (D0) and 1 mm level (D1) under a scanning electron microscope. Data was analysed by one-way ANOVA and post-hoc tests (p = 0.05). Results: The diameter at D0 level did not show any significant difference between the 1, 2, 4, and 10 times of repetitive pecking insertions of G2 files at working length. However, 10 times of pecking motion with G2 file resulted in significantly larger canal diameter at D1 (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Under the limitations of this study, the repetitive insertion of a G2 file up to 10 times at working length created an adequate lumen for subsequent apical shaping with other rotary files bigger than International Organization for Standardization (ISO) size 20, without apical transportation at D0 level.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the preparation of oval canals using hand and engine-driven instruments with SEM observation. Thirty single-rooted teeth with oval canal were used in this study. The teeth were divided into 3 groups. In group A the teeth were instrumented up to a size 35 K-file using RC-prep and irrigated with 5% NaOCl between each file size. In group B. the teeth were instrumented with Profile according to the manufacture's instructions using RC-Prep and irrigated with 5% NaOCl between each file size. In group C. the teeth were instrumented with GT file according to the manufacture's instructions using RC-prep and irrigated with 5% NaOCl between each file size. Then. in all teeth. a final flush of 5ml of distilled water delivered for 30s. Canals were dried with sterile standardized paper points. After preparing the canals, the teeth were sectioned along their mesial and diatal surfaces by using low-speed diamond disc. chisel and mallet. Each root section was then dehydrated in graded concentration of alcohol (70, 80, 90, 100%). mounted on an aluminum stub. sputter-coated with gold-palladium and observed with scanning electron microscope (HITACHI S-4200) in middle and apical area. The results of this study were as follows: 1. In the middle area. group B and group C showed less smear layer than group A and it was statistically significant (p < 0.05). 2. In the middle area. group B showed greater smear layer than group C. but it was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). 3. In the apical area, group C showed less smear layer than group A. and it was statistically significant (p < 0.05). 4. In the apical area. group A showed greater smear layer than group B. but it was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). 5. In the apical area. group B showed greater smear layer than group C. but it was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). 6. In all groups. the middle area was less smear layer than the apical area. and it was statistically significant (p < 0.05).

Cells of the dinoflagellate Peridinium were frequently observed in water samples of Togyo reservoir, and some species were responsible for dense blooms. Recently, we could identify them as P. bipes f. occultatum Lindem. and P. aciculiferum Lemm., considering morphology (Ki et al. 2005a; Ki and Han 2005b): However, some unidentified Peridinium cells with different shapes and body sizes were found among the samples collected during early spring. Here we describe their morphological characteristics such as thecal plate and body size to characterize its taxonomic identity by morphological characters. The formula of epithecal plates was recorded as 4 apical, 2 intercalary and 7 precingular plates (i.e. 4’', 2a, 7’'’') and the epicone in an apical view was symmetric. An apical pore was easy to make out under a light microscope. No cingular displacement was observed. The average body size was 33 $\mu$m in length with a range of 26-36 $\mu$m, and average 26 $\mu$m in width with a range of 21-31 $\mu$m, respectively; the cell was, therefore, shown slightly elongated. This way we identified Peridinium umbonatum Stein, 1883 for the first time from Korean freshwaters.
