The purpose of this study was to evaluate the color changes of composite resin polymerized with three type of light curing units. Composite resin (Z100, shade A2) were applied in a cylindrical metal mold(2 mm thick, 7 mm diameter). Twenty specimens according to light curing units were made. Group 1 : the specimens were polymerized with Apollo 95E for 3seconds(1370 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$). Group 2 : the specimens were polymerized with XL 3000 for 40seconds (480 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$). Group 3 : the specimens were polymerized with Spectrum 800 for 10 seconds(250 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$) and 30 seconds(700 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$). The microhardness values(VHN) of upper and lower surfaces specimens after light polymerization were measured for the degree of polymerization. All specimens were stored in distilled water at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. The color characteristics(L$^*$, a$^*$, b$^*$) of the specimens before and after immersion were measured by spectrophotometer and the total color difference ($\Delta$E$^*$) was computed. The results obtained were as follows : 1. The microhardness values of Group I showed significantly lower than those of Group II and III (p<0.05). 2. In all groups the $\Delta$E$^*$ values presented below 2.0. 3 Group I showed the highest $\Delta$E$^*$ values followed order from highest to lowest by Group II and III (p<0.05).

128 freshly extracted human molars were used to study the interaction between dentinal smear layer removal with various agents, and the shear bond strength of a light cured glass ionomer cement to dentin. It was proposed that the removal of smear layers using acidic cleaners followed by incorporation of Fe mordant with dentin could enhanced the infiltration of monomer component in light curing glass ionomer cement and resulted in a high bond strength. For the first treatment process for removal of smear layers on the surfaces of dentin, 50 % citric acid, 10% maleic acid and 10 % phosphoric acid were used, and for the second treatment process, 15% ferric chloride, 6.8% ferric oxalate or 30% potassium oxalate were used. Distilled water was used as a control. After double sequential treatment on dentin, a light curing glass ionomer cement was bonded to dentin. After being immersed in water at 31'C for 24 hours, shear bond strengths were measured Instron testing machine(Model No.4202, USA). Surface changes were also observed using SEM (Hitachi, S-2300, Japan) after treatment process with each agents. The following conclusions were drawn : 1. Dentin surface cleaned with maleic acid and treated with ferric oxalate showed the highest bond strength with light curing glass ionomer cement. 2. Bond strengths of glass ionomer cement to dentin treated with maleic acid or citric acid were the highest, and that treated with phosphoric acid showed the lowest. 3. The effect of ferric oxalate on shear bond strength to dentin was always higher than that of ferric chloride. 4. The smear layers were clearly removed and the orifices of dentinal tubules were opened widely by the citric acid, maleic acid and phosphoric acid. 5. The orifices of dentinal tubules opened after using the first solution were closed with the treatment of ferric chloride. 6. The precipitate like crystals were formed on dentin surfaces and tubules, but a significant decrease in bond strength of glass ionomer cement to dentin surface treated with potassium oxalate.

본 연구는 단계별 광중합 방법이 복합레진의 중합 및 수축 응력에 미치는 효과를 비교, 평가하고자 자연치를 대상으로 와동을 형성하고 할로겐 광중합기와 LED 광중합기의 통법에 의한 연속 조사 및 단계별 조사법으로 각각 복합레진을 중합시킨 후 수축 응력을 측정하고 주사전자현미경을 통해 수복물과 와동의 계면부에서 접착 상태를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 모든 군에서 광중합 직후에는 일시적으로 팽창되었다가 초기에는 급격한 수축 응력의 증가를 보였고 시간이 경과될수록 수축 응력의 증가가 완만해지는 경향을 보였다(P<0.05). 2. 동일한 광조사 군내에서는 hybrid형인 Filtek $Z-250^{TM}$군보다는 flowable형인 $Filtek\;flow^{TM}$군이 더 적은 수축 응력을 보였다. 3. Filtek $Z-250^{TM}$군에서는 LED 단계별 조사군이 수축 응력 이 가장 적게 나타났다(P<0.05) 4. $Filtek\;flow^{TM}$군 역시 LED단계별 조사군이 수축 응력이 가장 작게 나타났으나(P<0.05) Filtek Z-250군에서와 같이 다른 조사군에 비해 많은 차이를 보여주지는 못했다. 5. 주사전자현미경으로 관찰한 복합레진과 와동벽과의 접합 상태는 긴밀한 상태를 보였으나 LED 조사군에서 일부 틈이 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 hybrid형 복합레진의 경우 단계별 중합방식을 사용할 경우 단일광도의 중합방식에 비해 수축 응력을 감소시킬 수 있고 적절한 변연 적합상태를 유지시킴으로써 임상적으로 고광도 LED 광중합기의 경우 단계별 중합방식의 사용이 유리하다고 사료된다.

Tooth colored resin restorative materials are widely used in anterior teeth restorations. The color instability of resin was the main cause of failure in resin restorations. The purpose of this study was to investigate color stability and microhardness of serval visible light curing resins. Colorimetric measurements(Tokyo Denshoku Co., Japan) and microhardness tests(Matusuzawa, MXT 70, Japan) were made on six composite resins before and after controlled immersion treatments. The six composite resins were BIS - FILM(BISCO, USA), Durafill(Kulzer, Germany), Helioprogess(VIVADENT, Germany), Palfique(TOKUYAMA SODA, Japan), Silux(3M, USA), Photoclearfil(KURARAY, Japen). Six light curing resins showed significant color change after 2 weeks. Palfique exhibited the hightest $dE^*$ values and Helio progress presented the lowest $dE^*$ values. Photoclearfil showed the highest microhardness value. Durafill and Helio progress showed lower microhardness values. Microhardness values were decreased after 8 weeks in Bisfil, Palfique light, and Photoclearfil.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the fit of the anterior and posterior teeth printed using two light-curing three-dimensional (3D) printers. Methods: Anterior and posterior single crowns were designed using dental software and were printed using 2 types of 3D printers, liquid crystal display (LCD) and digital light processing (DLP) (n=40). After the printed crown was scanned again from inside and outside, the prepared teeth were evaluated using a 3D program. To compare the root mean square (RMS) results among groups (α=0.05), the one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test were used. Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the mean RMS values of the anterior and posterior teeth (p>0.05). However, as a result of comparing the internal, external, and tooth shapes, the DLP group showed significantly low errors in the inner and outer surfaces than LCD group (p<0.05). Conclusion: In terms of clinical acceptance standard of 100 ㎛, the fit of the anterior and posterior teeth fabricated using LCD and DLP was clinically acceptable.

LED 광중합기(Elipar FreeLight, 3M-ESPE)와 할로겐 광중합기(VIP Bisco)로 광조사한 수종의 상아질 접착제에 대해서 상아질 전단접착강도를 비교하였다 또한 이번 연구의 광학적 근거를 얻기 위해 두 광중합기의 파장에 따른 광강도와 스펙트럼을 비교하였다. 이번 연구에서 사용된 상아질 접착제는 Scotchbond Multipurpose (3M ESPE), Single Bond (3M ESPE). One-Step (Bisco), Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray), Adper Prompt (3M ESPE) 이다. VIP는 487 nm에서 최대정점을 가지는 넓은 스펙트럼의 분포를 보이는 반면에, Elipar FreeLight는 465 nm에서의 최대정점을 중심으로 좁은 스펙트럼의 분포를 보였다. Clearfil SE bond를 제외하고 할로겐과 LED로 광조사 한 각 상아질 접착제에서 상아질 전단접착강도값의 유의성 있는 차이는 보이지 않았다 (P > 0.05). 이러한 결과는 camphoroquinone의 흡수스펙트럼과 LED의 좁은 영역의 스펙트럼사이에 강한 연관성으로 설명할 수 있다.

Nowadays, additive manufacturing (AM) technology is a promising process to fabricate complex shaped devices applied in medical and dental services. Among the AM processes, a DLP (digital light processing) type 3D printing process has some advantages, such as high precision, relatively low cost, etc. In this work, we propose a simple method to fabricate precise dental models using a DLP 3D printer. After 3D printing, a part is commonly post-cured using secondary UV-curing equipment for complete polymerization. However, some shrinkage occurs during the post-curing process, so we adaptively control the UV-exposure time on each layer for over- or under-curing to change the local shape-size of a part in the DLP process. From the results, the shrinkage amounts in the post-curing process vary due to the UV-dose in 3D printing. We believe that the proposed method can be utilized to fabricate dental models precisely, even with a change of the 3D CAD model.
