The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of dental varnish applied with fluoride to dental pulp by comparing the groups of commercial fluoride product $Duraphat^{(R)}$, $Copalite^{(R)}$ after 1 Mole sodium fluoride application, Cavity $Sealer^{(R)}$ after 1 Mole sodium fluoride application with the control group not applied the dental varnish. After Cl V Cavity form was prepared on the buccal surface of the crowns with the total 75 teeth by using 5 dogs, average weight of 13.2Kg, dental varnish and silver analgram were placed. This study was performed by 3, 7, 21, 28, 56 days each. The dogs were sacrificed to extract the teeth, cut at the apical one fourth, and prepared histologic examination by fixing with 10% buffered formalin perfusion at sacrifice and decalcification in 10% nitric acid. The specimens were embedded in paraffin, stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin, and serially sectioned with 6 ${\mu}$width each. Microscopic evaluation of serial sections at the various time periods among the different groups revealed the following results: 1. In the control group, the marked change of the odontoblastic layer was showed on the 3 days group, and it was decreased gradually. Healing response, such as hyperplasia, was seen on the 28 days group and it was continued to the 56 days group. 2. In the experimental group with Cavity $Sealer,^{(R)}$ a slight hemorrhage was seen in the odontoblastic layer on the 3 days group, and the healing response with the hyperplasia of the odontoblast was showed on the 21, 28 days group. It was completely healed on the 56 days group. 3. In the Duraphat R group, a slight hemorrhage showed on the 3 days group and the disarrangement of the Odontoblastic layer was seen on the 7, 21, 28 days group. Odontoblasts showed hyperplasia on the 28 days group, and healed completely on the 56 days group. 4. In the $Copalite^{(R)}$ group, the 7 days group showed remarkable hemorrhage in the odontoblastic layer and stroma, and also it showed reticular degeneration with the disarrangement of the odontoblastic layer and congestion. Each group showed disarrangement. Healing ability of this group was greater than that of the control group, but less than that of the $Duraphat^{(R)}$ and Cavity $Sealer^{(R)}$ group.

The purpose of this study was to observe the color matching of lining or filling materials according to the remaining tooth material. Twenty-seven freshly extracted human central incisors were used in this experiments. The teeth were stored in saline solution at room temperature after extraction. All teeth were cut parallel to the tangent to height of contour on labial surface from the lingual surface until the pulp were completely removed. Then 27 teeth were devided into 0.5mm, 1.0mm and 1.5mm reduction groups according to the thickness of cutting the lingual surfaces of teeth. The specimens of control group were three teeth of 27 teeth with cutting the lingual surface same mode as above described. In the specimens of experimental groups, 8 kinds of lining and filling materials; FUJI IONOMER TYPE II (G-C Co. Japan), LINING CEMENT (G-C Co. Japan), Dycal (Caulk, U.S.A.), CLEARFIL F II (Kuraray Co. Japan), Crown Bridge & Inlay Cement (G-C Co. Japan), Copalite (Harry J. Bosworth Co. U.S.A.), HY-BOND (G-C Co. Japan) and LIV-CENERA (G-C Co. Japan); applied on the back of 24 teeth with 0.5mm, 1.0mm and 1.5mm cut thickness of lingual surfaces. Three teeth of control group did not applied linging or filling materials on the back of 3 kinds of different thickness of cutting the lingual surfaces. The absorbances of total 27 specimens were obtained by reflection spectrophotometer. (Cary 17 D, Varian Co, U.S.A.) The following conclusions were drawn from above the results; 1. The absorbance patterns in both experiment and control groups were gradually decreased with increasing wavelength of spectra. 2. The absorbance patterns were not decreased in relation to the kinds of lining or filling materials, but the amount of the remaining tooth materials. 3. In 0.5mm reduction group, FUJI IONOMER TYPE II, LINING CEMENT, LIV-CENERA and Copalite applied on the back of cut lingual surface showed similar absorbance patterns as control group. 4. The specimens which were reduced up to 1.0mm thickness and lined with FUJI IONOMER TYPE II and LINING CEMENT showed the comparable absorbance patterns to the control group. 5. In case of HY-BOND application after 1.5mm reduction were observed the similar absorbance pattern as compared with control group. 6. When Dycal, CLEARFIL and Crown Bridge & Inlay Cement were applied to cut teeth surfaces, there were much differences of absorbance between control groups and experimental groups.

The purpose of this study was to compare the microleakage of the amalgam and the gallium alloy when several lining materials were applied. The ANA 2000, high copper lathecut type amalgam(AM group) and Gallium Alloy GF II (GF group) were used. The fifty extracted sound molars were randomly assigned to AM group and GF group, and the buccal and lingual class V cavities with a size $3{\times}2{\times}2mm$ were prepared. The prepared cavities were randomly assigned to group 1 : no liner used control, group 2 : Copalite, group 3 : Panavia 21, group 4 : All-bond 2, and group 5 : Superbond C&B. After liner placement and amalgam filling, the specimens were stored in $37^{\circ}C$ normal saline for 24 hours and then thermocycled from $5^{\circ}C$ to $55^{\circ}C$ thousand times. The specimens were stored in the 1% methylene blue solution for 24 hours and sectioned and examined by stereomicroscope. The results obtained from this study can be summarized as follows : 1. In the GF group, microleakage values of group 2, 3, 4, 5 were significantly lower than that of group 1 (p<0.05). 2. In the AM group, microleakage values of group 3 and 4 were significantly lower than that of group 1 (p<0.05), but microleakage values of group 2 and 5 did not differ from that of group 1 (p>0.05). 3. The GF group was similar(group, 1 3, 4) or superior(group 2, 5) to the AM group in the aspect of the microleakage.

The aim of this study was to measure the dentinal tubular fluid flow (DFF) during and after amalgam and composite restorations. A newly designed fluid flow measurement instrument was made. A third molar cut at 3 mm apical from the CEJ was connected to the flow measuring device under a hydrostatic pressure of 15 $cmH_2O$. Class I cavity was prepared and restored with either amalgam (Copalite varnish and Bestaloy) or composite (Z-250 with ScotchBond MultiPurpose: MP, Single Bond 2: SB, Clearfil SE Bond: CE and Easy Bond: EB as bonding systems). The DFF was measured from the intact tooth state through restoration procedures to 30 minutes after restoration, and re-measured at 3 and 7days after restoration. Inward fluid flow (IF) during cavity preparation was followed by outward flow (OF) after preparation, In amalgam restoration, the OF changed to IF during amalgam filling and slight OF followed after finishing. In composite restoration, application CE and EB showed a continuous OF and air-dry increased rapidly the OF until light-curing, whereas in MP and SB, rinse and dry caused IF and OF, respectively. Application of hydrophobic bonding resin in MP and CE caused a decrease in flow rate or even slight IF. Light-curing of adhesive and composite showed an abrupt IF. There was no statistically significant difference in the reduction of DFF among the materials at 30 min. 3 and 7 days after restoration (p > 0.05).
