Adequate access cavity is the key to achieving endodontic success. The aims of the access cavity can be considered as follows: 1) Creation of a smooth unimpeded pathway for instruments to canal orifices 2) Removal of the entire roof of the pulp chamber in order to inspect the pulp floor, 3) Preservation of natural tooth substance consistent with the above. Recently, contracted endodontic cavities based on minimally invasive endodontics has introduced. This has the benefit of preserving the pericervical dentin more than traditional access cavity with achieving long-term success. However, some studies reported controversial results regarding root canal detection, instrumentation efficacy (noninstrumented canal area, hard tissue debris accumulation, canal transportation, and centering ratio) as well as fracture resistance. Therefore, further studies are required for accepting contracted access cavity, and modified form of traditional and contracted access cavity could be considered.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistance of tooth restored with gold inlay. A profound understanding of the isthmus width factor, which is one of the several parameters of cavity designs, would facilitate the appropriate cavity preparation in a specific clinical situation. In this study, the cavities for gold inlay were prepared in maxillary left first premolar. A three-dimensional model was designed using I-DEAS program. The model was composed of 2515- nodes and 2172 isoparametric brick elements. In the model isthmus width was varied into 1/4, 1/3 and 1/2 of intercuspal width respectively, and numeric values of the material properties of enamel, dentin and gold was set. Three types of load : concentrated load, divided load and distributed load was 500N. The empty cavities in the model were also examined using divided load and distributed load. The three - dimensional Finite Element Method was used to analysis the displacement and stress distribution. The results were as follows : 1. All of the experimental models which were filled with gold inlay revealed similar direction of displacement to that of the natural tooth model under the same load type. But in the models with empty cavities, as the isthmus width increased, the degree of displacement increased in the case of divided load type. 2. All experimental models which were filled with gold inlay showed stress concentration at load points, but in the models with empty cavities at divided load type, as isthmus width increased, stress was concentrated at the comer of the pulpal floor. 3. In the models with empty cavities at divided load type, tooth fracture was expected regardless of isthmus width, but all experimental models which were filled with gold inlay after cavity preparation were not susceptible to fracture. 4. In all experimental models which were filled with gold inlay after cavity preparation, displacement patterns were similar under both concentrated and divided load types. In the models with empty cavities, a divided load resulted in a bucco-lingual cuspal displacemenat in both sides, but a distributed load resulted in a lingual displacement of the tooth.

본 연구의 목적은 초음파를 이용하여 치근단역충전와동을 형성하는 경우 와동 내벽의 정화도 및 형태를 평가하기 위함이다. 발거된 상악 중절치 20개를 대상으로 근관충전 후 치근단 3 mm를 치아 장축에 직각되게 절단 제거한 다음, 저속의 round bur를 이용한 군을 대조군으로 하고 제2 및 제6 의 출력 단계의 초음파를 이용한 군을 실험군으로 하여 치근단 역충전와동을 형성하고 주사전자현미경 하에서 근관 잔사 및 도말층의 분포와 와벽형태를 검사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 제2 및 제6의 출력 단계의 초음파 기구로 형성한 역충전와동에서는 저속 round bur로 형성한 와동에 비해 도말층의 분포는 적은 것으로 나타났고 (p<0.01), 근관 잔사의 량에는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다(p>0.05). 저속 round bur로 형성된 와동은 비교적 평활한 와벽을 보인 반면, 초음파로 형성된 와동에서는 계단식의 층을 보이는 와벽의 양상을 나타내었다.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of clinical clerkship-associated achievements, such as performance of procedures at the student clinic, observation, and attitude towards a clerkship, on the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) scores of dental students graduating in restorative dentistry. Materials and Methods: The OSCEs consisted of two stations designed to assess students' clinical skills regarding cavity preparation for a class II gold inlay and a class IV composite restoration. The clerkship achievements, consisting of the number of student clinical procedures performed, observation-related OSCE, and scores of their attitudes towards a conservative dentistry clerkship, were assessed. Correlation and multiple regression analyses were conducted. Results: The correlation coefficient between the OSCE scores for cavity preparation for a class II gold restoration and clerkship attitude scores was 0.241 (p < 0.05). Regarding a class IV composite restoration, OSCE scores showed statistically significant correlations with the observation (r = 0.344, p < 0.01) and attitude (r = 0.303, p < 0.01) scores. In a multiple regression analysis, attitudes towards a clerkship (p = 0.033) was associated with the cavity preparation for a class II gold inlay OSCE scores, while the number of procedure observations (p = 0.002) was associated with the class IV composite restoration OSCE scores. Conclusions: The number of clinical procedures performed by students, which is an important requirement for graduation, showed no correlation with either of the OSCEs scores.

치근단 역충전 와동 형성을 위한 초음파 다이아몬드 기구의 임상적 적용의 타당성 및 특성을 평가하기 위한 연구의 일환으로, 다이아몬드 기구로 형성된 치근단 역충전 와동의 와벽 형태 및 와동 정화도를 관찰하여 스테인레스 스틸 기구의 것과 비교하였다. 초음파 기구로 형성된 와동의 와벽형태를 평가하기 위하여 발거된 상악 제 1 대구치 치근에서 근관을 형성하고 gutta-percha로 충전한 다음 근단 3mm부위를 치아 장축에 직각되게 절제하고 초음파 다이아몬드 기구 및 초음파 스테인레스 스틸 기구로 역충전 와동을 형성하였으며, 형성된 치근단 역충전 와동내벽의 정화도를 평가하기 위해서 와벽의 잔존 잔사 및 도말층의 양을 측정, 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 다이아몬드 기구로 형성된 와동의 와벽 형태는 다이아몬드 입자에 의해 긁힌 자국이 선명한 양상을 특정적으로 보인 반면, 스테인레스 스틸 기구로 형성된 와동의 와벽은 계단식의 층을 특정적으로 보여 주었다. 다이아몬드 기구로 형성된 와동에서는 스테인레스 스틸 기구 와동에 비해 내벽 도말층의 량이 유의하게 많이 나타났다 (p<0.01).

The marginal integrity of the crown can be broken during endodontic access cavity preparation due to the vibration of burs. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of endodontic access cavity preparation on the marginal leakage of full veneer gold crowns. 24 intact molars were mounted in acrylic resin blocks and prepared for crowns by a restorative dentist and crowns were cast with gold alloy. 20 Crowns were cemented with glass ionomer cement and 2 crowns were not cemented for positive control. 200 thermo-cycles from 5$^{\circ}C$ to 5$0^{\circ}C$ with a travel time of 20s were completed. Then samples were randomly divided into 2 experimental groups of 9 each. Endodontic access preparation and zinc-oxide eugenol temporary fillings were done in Group 1. Teeth in Group 2 were not treated. Samples were coated with 2 layers of nail varnish and were immersed in 1% methylene blue dye for 20 hrs. Endodontic access was prepared in 2 samples, which were coated with nail varnish on all surfaces for negative control. After washing in running water gold crowns were cut with a #330 bur. Four buccolingual sections, 2 mm apart, were cut from the central section of each tooth and were examined and scored under the microscope for dye leakage. Score 1: leakage to the cervical 1/3 of the axial wall, Score 2: leakage to the middle 1/3 of the axial wall, Score 3: leakage to the coronal 1/3 of the axial wall, Score 4: leakage to the occlusal surface. The median value for Group 1 is 4 and for Group 2 is 2. The result of this study showed that samples in Group 1 leaked more than those in Group 2. This finding was significant(P<0.001).
