The aim of this study was to investigate the level of radiopacity of glass ionomer cements and to determine the optimum level of radiopacity that is the most compatible with the radiographic diagnosis of secondary caries. The experiments were performed in two parts. In the first part, the radiopacities of 9 glass ionomer cements (FI, FII, FI-LC, FII-LC, SI, SII, Vit, B-VLC, AC) and base materials(Ultra-Blend, Zinc phoaphate cements, Cavitec, Dycal) were measured by densitometer. Then all experimental materials were divided into 5 groups based on the level of radiopacity of enamel and dentin. In the second part, class III cavities with or without secondary caries were prepared in extracted anterior teeth. The representative materials of each group with different radiopacities were inserted into each cavity. The radiographs were interpreted by 15 dentists and seconsary caries were diagnosed according to a five-point confidence rating. Sensitivity and ROC analysis were used to compare observer performance. The following results were obtained : 1. The radipacity of glass ionomer cements varied between 1.111mm Al and 6.011mm Al equivalent. 2. Among experimental materials, three materials in group I had lower radiopacity than that of dentin. The radiopacity of two materials in group II slightly exeeded that of dentin. Three materials in group III had slightly lower radiopacity than that on enamel. The radiopacity of one material in group W was slightly higher than that of enamel. Four materals in group V had the radiopacity that exeeded over 2.0mm AI equivalent to that of enamel. 3. The group IV was the highest for sensitivity and the group V was the highest for ROC area. However, no significant differences were obtained among group II, III, IV and V (P<0.05) but only group I was significantly lower(P<0.01). 4. In comparison with the observer performance for the radiographic diagnosis of secondary caries, the group II, III, IV, and V were superior to the group I (P<0.01). And so the optimum level of radiopacity to detect the secondary caries was the radiopacity that is higher than that of dentin.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the relative radiopacities of cavity lining materials (Resin-modified Glass Ionomer cement, Compomer and Plowable resin) for posterior composite resin restoration. Material & Methods: Resin-modified glass ionomer cement (Fuji II LC, Vitrebond/sup TM/), Compomers (Dyract /sup (R)/ Compoglass, F2,000, Dyract/sup (R)/ flow Compoglass Flow) and Flowable resins (Tetric/sup (R)/ flow, Aeliteflo/sup TM/ Revolution/sup TM/) were used. Five specimens of 5 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick were fabricated with each material. Human molars were horizontally sectioned 2 mm thick to include both enamel and dentin. The radiopacities of enamel, dentin, cavity lining materials, aluminum step wedge were obtainded from conventional radiograph and NIH image program. Results: All the tested lining materials showed levels of radiopacity the same as or greater than that of dentin. All compomer tested (Dyract, Compoglass, F2,000, Dyract flow, Compoglass Flow) and Vitrebond/sup TM/, Tetric/sup (R)/ flow were more radiopaque than enamel. The radiopacities of Fuji II LC and Revolution/sup TM/ were between enamel and dentin and resin-modified glass ionomer cement, Compomer and Tetric/sup (R)/ flow were greater than those of Revolution/sup TM/, Aeliteflo/sup TM/ or dentin. The level of radiopacity of the tested materials was variable; those with low radiopacity should be avoided in class II restorations, where a clear determination of recurrent caries by the examining clinician could be compromised. Conclusion: Clinician should be able to distinguish these cavity lining materials radiographically from recurrent decay, voids, gaps, or other defects that lead to clinical failure. Utilization of materials ranked more radiopaque than enamel would enable clinicians to distinguish the lining material from tooth structure.

Purpose: Cention N (Ivoclar Vivadent) was a recently introduced alkasite-based restorative material that was expected to replace amalgam and glass ionomer cement. This material was an esthetic restoration with adequate mechanical strength and release of fluoride and calcium. The purpose of this study was to measure the water sorption and water solubility of Cention N and evaluate its long-term durability compared to other esthetic restorations (Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer cement [RMGIC], Giomer, Composite Resin). Materials and Methods: Twenty specimens each of Cention N (CN), Resin Modified-Glass Ionomer Cement (FJ), Giomer (BF), and Composite Resin (FZ) were made. After each specimen was completely dried in a desiccator for 24 hours using a vacuum pressure pump, the specimen was weighed (m1). After that, the specimen was immersed in distilled water at 37℃ for 7 days, stored in a drying oven, and weighed (m2). After drying completely for 24 hours in a desiccator, the specimen was weighed (m3) to calculate the water absorption and water solubility using Formulas 1 and 2. The measured values were statistically processed and analyzed using SPSS, and the significance level was set at 0.05. Result: When measuring water sorption, FJ (122.61 ㎍/mm³) showed significantly higher water sorption than CN (35.42 ㎍/mm³) (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between FZ (18.03 ㎍/mm³) and BF (14.76 ㎍/mm³) (P=0.930). When measuring water solubility, CN (6.65 ㎍/mm³) showed significantly higher water solubility than FJ (1.47 ㎍/mm³) (P<0.05). Conclusion: Cention N had lower water sorption than RMGIC, but higher water solubility, indicating that it is more vulnerable to moisture and has lessened long-term durability.

Crystal growth 용액인 황화이온을 함유한 폴리아크릴산 용액에 의한 법랑질 표면처리는 법랑질 표면에 crystal growth를 유도함으로써 통상적인 산부식법을 대체하여 교정용 브라켓을 접착하기 위한 법랑질 전처치의 방법으로 사용될 수 있음이 제안된 바 있다. 이 연구는 crystal growth후 교정용 브라켓 접착제로 브라켓을 접착하는 방법의 임상적용 가능성을 구명하기 위하여 시행되었다. 발거된 사람소구치의 법랑질 표면을 $25\%$ 폴리아크릴산과 0.3M 황산을 함유한 기본 crystal growth 용액, 각각 0.3M lithium sulfate, 0.3M magnesium sulfate, 0.3M potassium sulfate를 첨가한 crystal growth 용액, $37\%$ 인산용액, 퍼미스로 각각 처리한 후, 교정용 광중합형 글래스아이오노머 시멘트와 교정용 레진접착제로 금속브라켓을 접착하였다. $37^{\circ}C$의 증류수에 24시간 침지시킨 후, 브라켓 전단결합강도를 측정하고 접착 파절양태를 관찰하였으며 표면처리된 법랑질 표면과 브라켓 제거후의 법랑질 표면을 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. Crystal growth후 광중합형 글래스아이오노머 시멘트로 브라켓 접착시 0.3M magnesium sulfate를 함유한 군의 브라켓 전단결합강도가 가장 높았다(p<0.01). Crystal growth후 광중합형 글래스아이오노머 시멘트로 접착한 군의 브라켓 전단결합강도는 crystal growth 후 레진접착제로 접착한 군보다 높았다(p<0.001). Magnesium sulfate, 또는 potassium sulfate를 함유한 crystal growth 용액으로 법랑질 표면을 처리한 후 글래스아이오노머시멘트로 접착한 군의 브라켓 전단결합강도는 산부식 후 레진 접착제로 접착한 군과 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 브라켓 제거시 잔류접착제의 양은 글래스아이오노머 시멘트로 접착한 것이 가장 적었다. 이상의 결과는 magnesium sulfate나 potassium sulfate를 함유한 crystal growth 용액으로 법랑질 표면처리 후 교정용 광중합형 글래스 아이오노머 시멘트로 브라켓을 접착하는 방법이 통상적으로 사용되는 산부식 후 교정용 레진접착제에 의한 브라켓 접착법을 대체할 수 있음을 시사한다.

이번 연구는 치근 천공의 치료 재료인 white mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA)를 흔히 사용되는 calcium hydroxide liner ($Dycal^{(R)}$), glass ionomer cement (GIC), 그리고 MTA와 유사한 성분을 가진 Portland cement와 세포독성 실험으로 생체 친화성을 평가하는 것이다. 세포독성의 정도는 MG-63 세포를 이용해 주사전자 현미경적 관찰과 수용성 tetrazolium salt를 이용한 흡광도를 측정 (XTT assay)하여 평가하였다. SEM 관찰에서, 1일과 3일째 모두에서 GIC와 MTA, Portland cement 표면에서는 잘 부착된 세포를 보여주었다. 반면에, Dycal 표면의 세포들은 둥글고 부착되지 않은 양상을 보여 주었다. XTT assay에서는 Dycal을 제외한 모든 재료에서 유사하게 높은 세포 활성도를 보여주었으며, 이는 SEM 관찰 소견과 일치하였다. 이번 연구는 MTA가 생체친화적인 재료라는 견해를 뒷받침한다. 또한 Portland cement와 GIC에서도 MTA와 유사한 세포반응을 보여주었다.

The purpose of this study was to compare the adaptation to the tooth structure of five light cured glass ionomer cements (Fuji II LC. VariGlass VLC, Vitremer, Dyract and Geristore). Human, non-carious fifty extracted permanent premolars stored in normal saline were used. Class V cavity preparations were created on the buccal surfaces. The occlusal margin of each cavity was placed on the enamel and the gingival margin was placed on the cementum/dentin. The teeth were then distributed at random into five groups of 10 teeth each. Group 1: Fuji II LC, Group 2 : VariGlass VLC, Group 3 : Vitremer, Group 4: Dyract, Group 5 : Geristore. The prepared cavities were restored with one of the five light cured glass ionomer cements. The manipulation of each material was handled according to the manufacturer's instructions. All samples were placed in incubator of 100% relative humidity at $37^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The roots of the teeth were removed with the tapered fissure bur and the remaining crowns were sectioned buccolingually through the center of restorations. The cut interfaces were gradually hand polished on sandpapers from 300 up to 1200 grit. The adaptation at the tooth/cements interface was assessed by SEM (JSM-840A, JEOL Ltd.). The results of this study were as follows : 1. Group 2 revealed the best adaptation and groups 1, 4 and 5 revealed similar adaptation pattern to the cavity walls. Group 3 revealed the worst adaptation to the cavity walls. 2. Enamel margins showed better adaptation than dentin/cementum margins with each material except group 3. 3. The hybrid layers were observed between the glass ionomer cement and dentin in groups 2, 4 and 5.

Bond strength of four different cements to dental casting alloys which were treated with #600 emery, tin-plating, and $50{\mu}m$ sandblasting were evaluated. The alloy specimens were Type III Gold alloy(Degulor C), Palladium-Silver alloy(Pors on 4), Nickel-Chromium(Rexillium III) alloy, which were embedded in acrylic resin disc. The specimens were treated with #600 emery and tin plating, #600 emery and sandblasting, then bonded using Fuji I, Ketac Cem(Glass ionomer cements), Poly F, Livcarbo(Polycarboxylate cements). The specimens were immersed in water for 24 hours and shear bond strengths were evaluated by Instron Machine. Tin plated, sandblasted, and debonded alloy surfaces were observed using scanning electron microscope. On the basis of this study, the following conclusions could be drawn. 1. In the tin plated alloy group, increase in bond strength of glass ionomer cements was statistically insignificant. 2. In the tin plated alloy group, increase in bond strength of polycarboxylate cements was statistically significant, except nickel-chromium alloy. 3. Sandblasted alloy group showed higher bond strength than that of tin-plated alloy group.
