Very few reports are available on the occurrence of abnormality of both enamel and dentin. This case has some characteristiced of both amelogenesis imperfecta and dentinogenesis imperfecta. Clinically, the enamel of primary dentition was completely absent and when the permanent teeth came to the pediatric dept. of Dankook University Dental Hopital for treatment. Fixed-removable type resin plate was delivered to increase vertical dimension and to solve esthetic and functional defects. Hypoplastic teeth were restored either stainless steel crown or composite resin restoration or both. The periodic recall check and oral hygiene education are recommended.

In recent years, Natm has been successfully applied to difficult ground conditions with the use of soil-perservention methods which promote face stability and restrict excessive ground movement. When the tunnle excavation od made through difficult ground like highly weathered rock, the umbrella arch method is often adopted which pre-reinforceas tunnel crown periphery using a stiff shell-shaped structure. The umbrella arch method was originally developed in Itali, and has recently been confirmed its effectiveness in Korea as well. However, no in depth study on the umbrella arch method has been conducted ans as a result no rational analysis/design method is available at present. Therefore this study was undertaken with the aim of identifying the basic reinforcing mechanism and satablishing both qualitative and quantiative relationships between various design parameters and ground movements.

A drop impact on the liquid film/pool generates several phenomena such as the drop floating, bouncing, formation of vortex ring, jetting, bubble entrapment and splashing. These phenomena depend on the impact velocity, the drop size, the drop properties and the liquid film/pool thickness. These parameters can be summarized by four main dimensionless parameters; Weber number, Ohnesorge number, Froude number and non-dimensional film/pool thickness. In the present study, the phenomena of the splashing and bubble entrapment due to the drop impact on the liquid film/pool were numerically investigated by using a Level Set method for the sharp interface tracking of two distinct phases. After the drop impact, the splashing phenomena with the crown formation and spreading were predicted. Under the specific conditions, the bubble entrapment at the base of the collapsing cavity due to the drop impact was also observed. The numerical results were compared to the available experimental data showing good agreements.

Loss of dentition can lead to not only compromised esthetics and functions of the patient, but also alveolar bone resorption. Bone grafting with prosthetic reconstruction of the gingiva can be selected for the treatment, and it provides many benefits as prosthetic gingival reconstruction does not require a complicated surgical process and is available within a short period of time, with stable clinical results. However, conventional porcelain fused to metal prosthesis has certain limits due to its size, and deformation after several firing procedures. In this clinical report, the author would like to introduce a patient with severe alveolar resorption who was treated with gingiva-shaped zirconia/titanium CAD/CAM implant fixed prosthesis for esthetic and functional rehabilitation. Clinical reports Clinical report 1, 2 : A case of loss of anterior dentition with atrophied alveolar bone. Implant retained zirconia bridge applied with Procera implant bridge system to simulate the gingiva. Upper structure was fabricated with zirconia all ceramic crown. Clinical report 3, 4 : A case of atrophied maxillary alveolus was reconstructed with fixed implant prosthesis, a CAD/CAM designed titanium structure covered wi th resin on its surface. Anterior dentition was reconstructed with zirconia crown. Conclusion and clinical uses. All patients were satisfied with the outcome, and maintained good oral hygiene. Zirconia/titanium implant fixed prosthesis fabricated by CAD/CAM system was highly accurate and showed adequate histological response. No critical failure was seen on the implant fixture and abutment overall. Sites of severe alveolar bone loss can be rehabilitated by implant fixed prosthesis with CAD/CAM system. This type of prosthesis can offer artificial gingival structure and can give more satisfying esthetics and functions, and as a result the patients were able to accept the outcome more fondly, which makes us less than hard to think that it can be a more convenient treatment for the practitioners.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: Recent data regarding the effects the cement type and abutment heights on the retentive force of a prosthetic crown are inconsistent and unable to suggest clinical guidelines. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: This study evaluated the effects of different types of temporary cements and abutment heights on the retentive strength of cement-retained implant-supported prostheses. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prefabricated implant abutments, 4 mm in diameter, $8^{\circ}$taper per side, and light chamfer margins, were used. The abutment heights of the implants were 4 mm, 5.5 mm and 7 mm. Seven specimens of a single crown similar to a first premolar were fabricated. Six commercially available temporary cements, TempBond, TempBond NE, Cavitec, Procem, Dycal, and IRM, were used in this study. Twenty-four hours after cementation, the retentive strengths were measured using a universal testing machine with a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. The cementation procedures were repeated 3 times. The data was analyzed using two-way analysis of variance and a Tukey test (${\alpha}$=0.05). RESULTS: The tensile bond strength ranged from 1.76 kg to 19.98 kg. The lowest tensile strengths were similar in the TempBond and Cavitec agents. Dycal showed the highest tensile bond strength (P<0.01). More force was required to remove the crowns cemented to the long abutments (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: TempBond and Cavitec agents showed the lowest mean tensile bond strength. The Dycal agent showed more than double the tensile bond strength of the TempBond agent.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of aging and thermal cycling on the biaxial flexure strength of low commercially available veneering resin composites for crown(Dentacolor : DC, Artglass : AG, Esternia : ET and Targis : TG). Disc specimens were fabricated in a teflon mold giving 12mm in diameter and 1mm in thickness. All samples were divided into 4 groups. Group 1 was dried in a dessicator at $25^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. Group 2 was immersed in distilled water at $37^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. Group 3 was immersed in distilled water at $65^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. Group 4 was subjected to 10,000 thermal cycles between $5^{\circ}C\;and\;55^{\circ}C$, and the immersion time in each bath was 15 seconds per cycle. Biaxial flexure test was conducted using the ball-on-three-ball method at the cross head speed of 0.5mm/min and fracture surfaces were observed with scanning electoron microscope. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. Weibull modulus values, except for the AG group, decreased after thermal cycling treatment. 2. Biaxial flexure strength values of aging group at $37^{\circ}C$ were the lowest in all sample groups. Except for the DC group, strength values were significantly decreased for the drying group. 3. After thermal cycling test, the highest value of biaxial flexure strength of 188.8 MPa was observed in the ET group and the lowest value of 73.2 MPa was observed in the DC group. The strength values showed the significant differences in each group (p<0.05). 4. Observation of surfaces after thermal cycling test revealed the ditching in the part of surrounding large fillers.

Fifty nine strains of Agrobacterium vitis, the causal agent of crown-gall disease on grapevine, originating from different geographical regions and 16 grapevine cultivars including 35 Kyoho cultivar of Korea, were characterized by PCR polymorphic analysis using Universal Rice Primer(URP). Of 12 URP primers, primers URP1F, URP2R, URP2F, and URP4R, URP17R were available for detecting PCR polymorphic bands among the A. vitis strains. PCR polymorphic bands produced by primers URP2F and URP17R were profiled to 12 strain types. A. vitis strains originated from Kyoho cultivar of grapevine showed relatively simple genetic diversify of the four PCR types, while the A. vitis strains originated from other grapevine cultivars and type culture strains showed various genetic diversity with 8 types. Unweighted Pair-Group Method with Arithmetic mean(UPGMA) cluster analysis using the URP-PCR polymorphic bands showed 59.4. vitis strains are genetically clustered into large seven groups.

The aim of this study was to measure the regional micro-shear bond strength of dentin bonding agents to dentin, and to investigate the relationship between the micro-shear bond strength and two dentinal characteristics ; Vickers hardness and remaining dentin thickness. Twenty-four freshly extracted, noncarious human molars were selected for this study. The materials tested in this study consisted of two commercially available dentin bonding agents (MAC-BOND, ONE-STEP) and two restorative light-cured composite resins (AELITEFIL, Z100). The occlusal or side surface of tooth crown was sectioned to expose dentin, and the exposed surface was finally polished with # 600 sandpaper. Four groups of application methods were used combining the filling materials and the dentin bonding agents. The composite resin-attached tooth specimens were embeded in a cold cure acrylic resin, and were cut with a low speed diamond saw to the dimension of 1mm $\times$ 1mm. Nine specimens were obtained from each tooth. The cut specimens were divided into three groups depending on the position of the dentin bonding surface. The micro-shear bond strength, remaining dentin thickness, and dentinal hardness were measured. Experimental results were then statistically analyzed with ANOVA. t-test, Scheffe test, and regression analysis. From this experiment, the following results were obtained : 1. In the case of occlusal surface bonding, the pooled micro-shear bond strength of ONST-AELIT group (16.62 MPa) was significantly higher than that of MACB-AELIT group (9.91 MPa) (p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the micro-shear bond strength depending on the dentin position (p>0.05). 2. In the case of side surface bonding of crown, the pooled micro-shear bond strength of four different bonding groups was not significantly different among each other (p>0.05). However, in three of the test groups (ONST-AELIT, MACB-Z100, ONST-Z100), the micro-shear bond strength to the lower 1/3(III) position was significantly lower than that to middle 1/3(II) position of surface (p<0.05). 3. In the ONST-AELIT bonding group, the pooled micro-shear bond strength to the occlusal surface was significantly lower than that to the side surface of crown (p<0.05). 4. There was no significant correlation between the micro-shear bond strength and dentin hardness / remaining dentin thickness (p>0.05).

The dry weight of mother plants' leaves had the highest increase rate in both NS (single-use) and NS+EM (mixed-use) mixed with NS 0.8 (customary use). In seafood amino acid fertilizer (SAF) application, the increase rate was highest in SAF solution at a 300-fold dilution. Mother plants' crown diameter, plant height, leaf length, leaf width, petiole length and leaf number showed the greatest growth amount when NS 0.8 (customary use) was mixed to NS (single-use) or NS+EM (mixed-use) solution. The growth was highest in SAF solution diluted 300 folds, but lowest in SAF solution diluted 100 folds. Of all inorganic nutrients, excluding sulfur, total amount of nitrogen, available phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium had the highest increase rate in both NS (single-use) and NS+EM (mixed-use) with the treatment of NS 0.8 (customary use). Total nitrogen, in particular, was increased by 3.1% in NS 0.4, 6.0% in NS 0.8, and 4.5% in NS 0.8 with the application of NS+EM at a 500-fold dilution compared to NS alone. Total nitrogen amount showed the highest increase rate in SAF solution diluted 300 folds. Total nitrogen, available phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and EC in soils applied with culture solutions (NS, NS+EM) had increasing tendencies after fertilizer application. The results were comparable to those of SAF treatment. The increase rate of each inorganic nutrient composition declined in soils applied with NS+EM solution diluted 500 folds compared to NS alone.
