Purpose: This investigation was designed to determine the translucency and color stability of various core ceramics for all-ceramic restoration using the CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ system. Material and Methods: IPS e.max Press ceramic(Ivoclar-Vivadent, Liechtenstein), $LAVA^{TM}$ All Ceramic(3M-Espe, Germany), Cercon Smart Ceramic(Dentsply, Germany), and Z-match Ceramic(DentAim, Korea) were used for this study. For the specimens of zirconia oxide ceramics, the as-sintered cylindrical blanks($11.0{\times}25.0mm$) were machined into the shape of a disk(0.4, 0.8, 1.5 mm in thickness, 10 mm in diameters) with a diamond grind machine. The IPS e.max Press specimens ($0.8{\times}10mm$) were fabricated using the "lost wax" technique. CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ coordinates and light transmission were recorded for each specimen with a spectrophotometer(CM-2600d, Minolta, Japan). Color differences were calculated using the equation, ${\Delta}E^*ab=[({\Delta}L^*)2+({\Delta}a^*)2+({\Delta}b^*)2]1/2$. Results: The results were obtained as follows: 1. The most translucent group was IPS e.max Press ceramic that is a glass-ceramic, and $Lava^{TM}$ and Z-match ceramic were more translucent than Cercon Smart ceramic in zirconia ceramic group. 2. In the all groups, there was no significant translucent change after 6 times heat-treatments required to make a final restoration. 3. Colored zirconia was showed more yellowish and dark than uncolored zirconia. 4. After heat-pressing, IPS e.max Press ceramic was showed high ${\Delta}E^*ab$ value(4.1 of eM1, 6.8 of eM2) that means to be more whiter than before heat-pressing. However, there was no color change after additive heat treatments for final restoration. 5. In the colored zirconia groups, there was no significant color change after some heat-treatments required to make a final restoration.

Radio frequency (RF) plasma treatment is studied for the size reduction and the spheroidization of coarse particles to change them into nano-sized powders of spherical shape in MLCC fields. The uni-nanoadditives manufactured by RF plasma processing for high dispersion have been investigated for the effect on core-shell structure in dielectrics of MLCC. Microstructures have been characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA). We compared the distribution of core-shell grains between specimens manufactured using uni-nanoadditive and using mixed additive. In addition, the uniformity of rare earth elements in the core-shell structured grains was analyzed. It was shown, from TEM observations, that the sintered specimen manufactured using uni-nanoadditives had more dense small grains with well-developed core-shell structure than the specimen using mixed additives, which had a homogeneous microstructure without abnormal grain growth and shows broad temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) curves in all temperature ranges because of well dispersed additives.

Statement of the problem. All-ceramic post-and-core restorations offer a number of advantages compared with systems that use metal build-ups. In certain clinical cases, however, fractures at the joint between the post and core build-up have been reported. Purpose. The objective, therefore, is to improve the joint between the post and the core build-up. Material and methods. Three different methods were used to prepare all-ceramic post-and-core restorations; pressing IPS Empress core build-ups to CosmoPost zirconia posts, cement-ing IPS Empress core build-ups to CosmoPost zirconia posts and Celay-milling of zirconia blanks. A series of ten restorations was prepared for each of the three methods. The post-and-core complexes were tested to failure with the load applied perpendicular to the post axis. The load and deflection at fracture were recorded. Results. The highest breaking load and highest deflection were recorded for the cementing technique with values of 25.3 N and $394{\mu}m$, respectively, The corresponding values for the pressed core build-ups and the milled zirconia core build-ups were 22 N and $301{\mu}m$, and 13 N and $160{\mu}m$, respectively. All the differences are statistically significant (p=0.05). Regarding the load-dependence of the deflection, the cemented core build-ups again demonstrated the highest value with $15.5{\mu}m/N$. The difference in the values of $13.6{\mu}m/N\;and\;13{\mu}m/N$ recorded for the pressed-on and milled core build-ups, respectively, were statistically insignificant. Conclusion. In regard to the high fracture resistance of zirconia post, adhesive cementing the core build-up to the post offers a viable alternative to the conventional pressing technique. The elastic bond between the rigid high-strength zirconia post and the core build-up presents an additional advantage.

다양한 디바이스 응용분야에 블록공중합체가 사용되기 위해, 블록공중합체의 형상을 제어하기 위한 간단하면서도 실용적인 합성방법이 필요하다. 하지만 콜로이드성의 형판을 사용하는 기존의 방식은 공정이 복합하고 비용이 많이 발생하여, 고순도의 코어-쉘 나노입자를 대량생산하기에 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서 PS-b-PDMS 블록공중합체를 담금어닐링하여, 20 nm 이하크기를 가지는 PS가 봉입된 코어-쉘 구조의 $SiO_x$나노입자를 합성하였다. 또한, 어닐링 공정에 사용되는 헵테인과 에탄올의 혼합비율이 자기조립된 PS-b-PDMS 블록공중합체 나노입자의 형상에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하였으며, 최적의 담금어닐링 조건에서 나노입자가 worm-like구조로 변화하는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 파우더 합성법은 다른 용매기반의 블록공중합체 합성방법에 응용이 가능할 것으로 생각되며, 새로운 가이드라인을 제공할 것으로 예상된다.

Objectives : The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of firing cycles on the marginal and internal fit of metal ceramic crown. Methods : Ten same cases of stone models (abutment teeth 11) were manufactured. Ten cobalt-chrome cores were made per each models and the marginal and internal fit was evaluated through a silicone replica technique. The marginal and internal fit of specimens was measured twice. The first measurement was done after manufacturing cobalt-chrome alloy core and the second measurement was done after porcelain firing. T-test of paired sample for statistical analysis was executed with SPSS 12.0K for Windows (${\alpha}$=0.05). Results : Mean(SD) marginal and internal fit were 77.1(23.3) ${\mu}m$ for the cobalt-chrome alloy core group and 84.4(21.9) ${\mu}m$ for the metal-ceramic crown group. They were statistically significant differences between groups for marginal and internal fit (p<.05). Conclusions : All metal ceramic crowns showed marginal and internal fit ranged within the current clinical recommendations.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the shear bond strength between zirconia cores and veneer ceramics as per the sand blasting and liner treatments. Methods: The following 4 groups of zirconia-veneering ceramic specimens were prepared: (1) Group I, untreated; (2) Group II, with 110 ㎛ aluminium oxide (Al2O3) sandblasting; (3) Group III, with liner (IPS e.max ZirLiner; Ivoclar Vivadent); and (4) Group IV, with 110 ㎛ Al2O3 sand blasting and liner. Surface roughness was measured for all the prepared specimens, and the surface morphology was observed using a scanning electron microscope. All the samples (n=40) were fixed with measuring jigs, and shear bond strengths were obtained using a universal testing machine with a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. The shear bond strength data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and t-test. The post hoc comparison was performed using the Tukey's test (α=0.05). Results: A significant difference in the surface roughness was observed between the specimens of groups I and II (p<0.05). Surface treatment with liner and sandblasting showed higher shear bond strength between zirconia core and veneering ceramic (p<0.05). Conclusion: The sand blasting and liner treatment increased the shear bond strength between zirconia core and veneering ceramic.

PURPOSE. One of the most important factors in evaluating the quality of fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) is their gap. The purpose of this study was to compare the marginal and internal gap of two different metal-ceramic crowns, casting and selective laser sintering (SLS), before and after porcelain firing. Furthermore, this study evaluated whether metal-ceramic crowns made using the SLS have the same clinical acceptability as crowns made by the traditional casting. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The 10 study models were produced using stone. The 20 specimens were produced using the casting and the SLS methods; 10 samples were made in each group. After the core gap measurements, 10 metal-ceramic crowns in each group were finished using the conventional technique of firing porcelain. The gap of the metal-ceramic crowns was measured. The marginal and internal gaps were measured by two-dimensional and three-dimensional replica techniques, respectively. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test, the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and nonparametric ANCOVA were used for statistical analysis (${\alpha}$=.05). RESULTS. In both groups, the gap increased after completion of the metal-ceramic crown compared to the core. In all measured areas, the gap of the metal cores and metal-ceramic crowns produced by the SLS was greater than that of the metal cores and metal-ceramic crowns produced using the casting. Statistically significant differences were found between cast and SLS (metal cores and metal-ceramic crown). CONCLUSION. Although the gap of the FDPs produced by the SLS was greater than that of the FDPs produced by the conventional casting in all measured areas, none exceeded the clinically acceptable range.

Ti(CN)-0.3mole% $Mo_2C$ ceramics were prepared by pressureless sintering. $Mo_2C$ dissolved in Ti(CN) more easily in a nitrogen environment than in the other environment because nitrogen forced Mo to form a solid solution, (Ti, No)(C, N). A "core-rim" structure developed within the grains. The boundary between the "core" and the rim was delineated by thermal etching in the sample with more than 2 mole% $Mo_2C$. The rim thickness and the grain size decreased as the $Mo_2C$ content increased. The hardness and the flexural strength showed maxima of 18.2 GPa and 1.23 GPa, respectively when the $Mo_2C$ content was 2 mole%. The post-sintering heat treatments improved the properties.oved the properties.

During Bi(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconductor wire fabrication the effect of the initial packing density on the final characteristics of superconductor wire was systematically studied. To increase the powder packing density with uniform distribution of superconducting core a billet insertion method processed by CIP was applied instead of the commonly used vibration and ramming method of powder insertion into silver sheath. Compared with the vibration and ramming method the billent insertion technique processed by CIP cause the 30% incre-specimen with 130${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$(core thickness : 45 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$)and 5.24 mm width processed at 84$0^{\circ}C$for 200hrs. shows specimen with 130${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ (core thickness ; 45${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$)and 5.24 mm width processed at 84$0^{\circ}C$ for 200 hrs. shows maximum 34A for Ic and 16, 700 A/cm2 for Ic measured at 77K and 0T. Also the sample rolled 3 times shows maximum 7, 2A for Ic and 11, 000 A/cm2 for 77K and 0T. Based on X-ray experimental results the formation of Bi-2223 and texture were significantly well developed at the interface between the superconducting core and silver sheath as compared with those of the interior area of superconducting core.
