한국인의 치열의 특성을 고려한 Straight-Wire Appliance(SWA)의 제작을 위한 자료를 얻기 위하여 18세 이상 25세 사이의 한국인 성인 정상교합자를 1) 구강악안면부에 기능장애가 없고, 2) 양호한 치열궁 형태와 긴밀한 구치부 교합관계를 가지며, 3) 교합이 전후방적으로 앵글 분류 I 급의 관계를 가지며, 4) 간단한 수복 치료 외에 교정치료나 보철치료를 받지 않았으며, 특히 치아의 순면과 협면의 형태에 변형을 초래한 치과 치료를 받지 않았으며, 5) 단정한 안모를 가진 자를 선발 기준으로 정하여 선발하였다. 선정된 정상 교합자의 상, 하악 인상을 채득하고, 교정용 석고 모형을 제작하였다. 얻어진 치과 석고모형을 분석하여, Andrews의 Six keys to optimal occlusion에 부합되는 표본을 5 명의 숙련된 교정의사들이 선별하여 한국인 성인 정상교합자 치열의 석고 모형 155쌍(남자 92쌍,여자 63쌍)을 얻었다. 이들을 대상으로 정밀측정장비인 Coordinate Measuring Machine(CMM, MPC802, WEGU-Messtechnik, Germany)을 이용하여 3차원 digitization을 시행하고, 계측프로그램을 작성하여 SWA 제작을 위하여 필요한 Angulation, Inclination, In-and-Out, Molar offset angle, Arch-form 등을 측정하였다. 측정을 시행하기 전에, CMM을 이용한 3차 원 digitization의 오차에 대한 검증을 실시하였고, 3차원 digitization과 컴퓨터를 이용한 형태학적 분석법과 기존의 수작업에 의한 분석법의 신뢰도에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 이상의 연구를 통하여 얻은 결론은 다음과 같다. 1. 치과 석고모형의 3차원 digitization에 CMM을 적용하여 mesh size 0.25 mm, 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm로 등간격 디지타이징하는 것은 모두 받아들일 수 있으며, 측정의 효율성을 고려할 때 1.0 mm간격으로 등간격 디지타이징 하는 것이 바람직하다. 2. 3차원 digitization과 컴퓨터를 이용한 방법이 Andrews의 방법에 기반한 수작업 방법보다 신뢰성이 높다. 3. 3차원 digitization과 컴퓨터를 이용한 방법으로 한국인의 치열의 형태학적 특성에 맞는 SWA의 제작을 위한 자료를 채득하였다.

대형 광학 거울은 연삭, 연마, 최종연마의 단계를 거쳐 가공된다. 이 가운데 가장 진행이 빠르고 가공량이 많은 연삭 단계에서 정밀하고 신속한 측정이 가능하다면 가공 공정의 효율성을 높일 수 있다. 그런데 연삭 단계의 광학면은 거칠고 광택이 없기 때문에 빛을 이용한 측정이 매우 어렵다. 따라서 간섭계를 사용할 수 없으며 기계적인 방법을 이용하여 면을 측정해야 한다. 레이저트래커는 이동이 가능한 3차원 좌표 측정기로, 이를 이용한 측정 방법이나 데이터 분석을 연구하면 연삭 단계의 광학 거울을 정밀하게 측정할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 레이저트래커를 이용하여 직경 1 m의 구면 거울의 형상오차를 측정하고, 이 측정 결과를 간섭계로 측정한 것과 비교하였다. 레이저트래커를 이용한 측정법은 형상오차 rms $0.2{\mu}m$, PV $2.7{\mu}m$의 측정 결과를 얻는 것으로 파악되어 연삭 단계 광학면의 정밀한 측정이 가능할 것으로 보인다.

This study was taken to observe the changes of the residual stress in the alloy and to measure 3 dimensional distortions of the long span ceramo-metal bridge. The materials used in this study were Pors-on 4 (Pd-Ag alloy), and Ceramco and Vita VMK 68 powders. The residual stress of the alloy was measured on the six specimens (dia. 8m/m) by the X-ray diffraction stress analyzer according to the kind of ceramic powder and different measuring stages. And, for the measurement of the distortions, fifteen specimens of the anterior 8-unit ceramo-metal brige were fabricated and subjected to the 3-D coordinate measuring machine. Variables included the 2 kinds of a ceramic powder and the presence or absence of a splint bar at the cast metal framework. The measuring stages in both were after casting, after degassing and after glazing. The following conclusions were obtained : 1. The residual stress of the alloy showed increasing tendency for the tension by the ceramic fusing, but there was not significance. 2. The tendency of the distortions in the cast metal frameworks were decrease of the width, the anterior displacement and sagging. 3. The amount of the distortions at the degassing stage were greater than that at the ceramic fusing stage. 4. The splint bar was effective to control the distortion only at ceramic fusing stage. 5. The sagging distortion in the Ceramco firing were even through all measuring stages, but in the Vita firing, pronounced at degassing stage.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy of three intraoral scanners along the complete dental arch and evaluate the feasibility of the assessment methodology for further in vivo analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A specific measurement pattern was fabricated and measured using a coordinate measuring machine for the assessment of control distances and angles. Afterwards, the pattern was placed and fixed in replica of an upper jaw for their subsequent scans (10 times) using 3 intraoral scanners, namely iTero Element1, Trios 3, and True Definition. 4 reference distances and 5 angles were measured and compared with the controls. Trueness and precision were assessed for each IOS: trueness, as the deviation of the measures from the control ones, while precision, as the dispersion of measurements in each reference parameter. These measurements were carried out using software for analyzing 3-dimensional data. Data analysis software was used for statistical and measurements analysis (α=.05). RESULTS. Significant differences (P<.05) were found depending on the intraoral scanner used. Best trueness values were achieved with iTero Element1 (mean from 10 ± 7 ㎛ to 91 ± 63 ㎛) while the worst values were obtained with Trios3 (mean from 42 ± 23 ㎛ to 174 ± 77 ㎛). Trueness analysis in angle measurements, as well as precision analysis, did not show conclusive results. CONCLUSION. iTero Element1 was more accurate than the current versions of Trios3 and True Definition. Importantly, the proposed methodology is considered reliable for analyzing accuracy in any dental arch length and valid for assessing both trueness and precision in an in vivo study.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study is to present a methodology to evaluate the accuracy of intraoral scanners (IOS) used in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A specific feature-based gauge was designed, manufactured, and measured in a coordinate measuring machine (CMM), obtaining reference distances and angles. Then, 10 scans were taken by an IOS with the gauge in the patient's mouth and from the obtained stereolithography (STL) files, a total of 40 distances and 150 angles were measured and compared with the gauge's reference values. In order to provide a comparison, there were defined distance and angle groups in accordance with the increasing scanning area: from a short span area to a complete-arch scanning extension. Data was analyzed using software for statistical analysis. RESULTS. Deviations in measured distances showed that accuracy worsened as the scanning area increased: trueness varied from 0.018 ± 0.021 mm in a distance equivalent to the space spanning a four-unit bridge to 0.106 ± 0.08 mm in a space equivalent to a complete arch. Precision ranged from 0.015 ± 0.03 mm to 0.077 ± 0.073 mm in the same two areas. When analyzing angles, deviations did not show such a worsening pattern. In addition, deviations in angle measurement values were low and there were no calculated significant differences among angle groups. CONCLUSION. Currently, there is no standardized procedure to assess the accuracy of IOS in vivo, and the results show that the proposed methodology can contribute to this purpose. The deviations measured in the study show a worsening accuracy when increasing the length of the scanning area.
