수산화칼슘 근관충전제는 뛰어난 항균작용과 낮은 세포독성으로 우수한 유치 근관충전제로 평가되고 있다. 하지만 수산화칼슘을 근관 내 장기간 적용할 경우 치근 상아질에 미치는 부정적인 영향이 논의되고 있으며 많은 연구에서 영구치 근관에 수산화칼슘을 적용 후 상아질 경도의 감소가 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 수산화칼슘 제제의 적용 기간에 따라 유치 치근 상아질의 미세경도를 측정하여, 수산화칼슘의 적용이 유치 치근 상아질의 미세경도에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 생리적 치근 흡수가 1/3이상 진행되지 않은 시기에 발거된 60개의 상악 유전치를 각각 20개 씩 대조군, 수산화칼슘과 요오드포름의 혼합제제(Vitapex, Neodent., Japan), 수산화칼슘과 증류수의 혼합제제를 적용하는 3개의 군으로 분류하였다. 각 치아는 같은 과정의 치수 절제술을 시행한 후 교정용 레진에 매몰하여 군당 5개 치아를 배정하고 24시간, 7일, 30일, 90일 후 치근 중앙부에서 2 mm 두께의 시편을 획득하여 비커스 미세경도 측정기를 통해 미세경도를 측정하였다. 측정된 미세경도 값은 Kruskal-Wallis test로 변수 간의 상호관계를 확인하였으며 사후 검정으로 Mann-Whitney test를 시행하였다. 시간에 따른 미세경도 값의 감소량은 선형 회귀분석을 통해 추이를 분석하였다. 수산화칼슘 근관 충전제가 유치의 치근 상아질의 미세경도에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 수산화칼슘 근관 충전제를 유치의 근관에 적용 시 기간에 따라 치근상아 질의 미세경도가 감소하였으며, 이는 통계적으로 유의하였다(p < 0.05). 수산화칼슘과 요오드화포름의 혼합제제에 비해 수산화칼슘을 증류수에 혼합하여 적용한 경우 유치 치근상아질의 미세경도가 더 급격하게 감소하였으며, 이는 통계적으로 유의하였다(p < 0.05). 수산화칼슘을 적용하지 않은 대조군에서도 7일, 30일, 90일 후 기간에 따라 치근상아질의 미세경도가 감소하였으며, 이는 통계적으로 유의하였다(p < 0.05).

수직적으로 치관-치근 파절된 전치부에서 파절은 치근을 따라 다양한 부위에서 일어나기 때문에 그 깊이에 따라 치료 방법이 결정된다. 파절선이 치관부에 근접한 경우 치은 판막을 형성하여 파절 부위를 노출시키거나 교정적 또는 외과적으로 치아를 정출시키는 방법 등을 고려해 볼 수 있지만, 파절선의 위치가 깊은 경우 그 예후는 불량하며 치근의 1/3 이상을 넘어선 경우에는 발치가 일반적이다. 그러나 성장기 아동에서 상악 중절치의 발치는 심미적 문제, 치조골 흡수, 발음 문제 등 여러 합병증을 초래하게 되므로 성장기 동안 치아를 보존하는 것을 최우선의 목표로 한다. 그러므로 수직 치관-치근 파절된 전치부 치아의 치료 시 발치 대신 복합레진으로 파절선을 수복한 후 재식하는 의도적 재식술을 대안으로 선택할 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 외상으로 인하여 상악 중절치의 치관-치근 파절이 치근 1/2 정도로 깊게 발생한 혼합치열기 환아에서 해당치아를 의도적으로 발치하고 복합레진으로 파절 부위를 수복한 후 재식하였다. 이후 2년 동안 관찰한 결과 특이한 임상적 증상 없이 유지되고 있으며 심미적으로도 만족할 만한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이 방법은 술식에 민감하며 장기적 예후에 대한 보고는 부족하지만, 치아를 보존할 수 있는 새로운 방법이라는 점에서 가치가 있다고 사료된다.

장기적인 칫솔질시 외부 stain 처리된 IPS e.max Press 도재의 색의 변화를 분광측색장치(SpectroShade$^{TM}$)를 이용하여 측정하고 비교함으로써 외부 stain의 색 안정성을 평가해 보고자 한다. IPS e.max Press LT ingots shade a1(Ivoclar Co.,Liechtenstein)를 사용하여 블록 형태의 시편을 제작하였으며 Orange, A, B, C, D shade로 외부 stain 처리 하였다. 칫솔질 기계를 이용하여 1년(11,000회), 2년(22,000회), 4년(44,000회), 6년(66,000회), 8년(88,000회) 치의 칫솔질 운동을 수평적으로 시행하였다. SpectroShade$^{tm}$ MICRO(MHT, Italy)를 이용하여 색조 변화를 측정하였다. 1년치(11,000회)의 칫솔질 연마 후 Orange shade에서 다른 4개의 shade보다 더 크게 색 차이가 나타났다. 그 후 칫솔질 횟수가 증가하여도, 외부 stain의 shade에 따른 색 차이의 변화는 통계적으로 유의성이 없었다. 칫솔질의 횟수의 증가에 따른 색 차이의 변화량은 일정한 증가나 감소의 경향을 보이지 않고 불규칙하였으며 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 발견되지 않았다. 칫솔질이 IPS e.max Press 도재의 외부 stain의 변화에 크게 영향을 미치지 않으며 임상적으로도 외부 stain의 색 안정성이 인정된다고 생각된다. 추후 외부 stain에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 다른 요인들에 대한 연구도 필요하리라 사료된다.

The success of porcelain laminate veneer depends on the bond strength between tooth structure and ceramic restoration and the design of tooth preparation. In particular, incisal coverage and incisal finish line are the two most important factors in long-term fracture resistance. Although the majority of clinicians are practicing incisal coverage and there are various opinions on the geo-metrical ratio between the clinical crown length of the remaining tooth structure and the length of incisal extension in porcelain laminate veneer and the optimal incisal finish lines. scientific evidence still loaves much to be desired. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the amounts of incisal coverage and the types of incisal finish line on the stress distribution in maxillary anterior porcelain laminate veneers under two different loading conditions. Three-dimensional finite element models of a maxillary anterior porcelain veneer with differ-ent amounts of incisal coverage ; 0, 1, 2, and 3mm and different incisal finish lines feathered edge, incisal bevel, reverse bevel and lingual chamfer with various amounts of lingual extension were developed. 300N force was applied at the point 0.5mm cervical of the linguoincisal edge in two loading conditions ; A) 125 degrees, B) 132 degrees. Tensile and compressive stress in ceramic and shear stress in the resin cement layer were analyzed using three-dimensional finite element method. The results were as follows : 1. The types of incisal finish line had more influence on the stress distribution in porcelain laminate veneer than the amounts of incisal coverage. 2. In case of no incisal coverage, incisal beveled laminate exhibited more evenly distributed tensile stress than feathered edged laminate. And in case of incisal coverage, reverse beveled laminate and lingual chamfered laminate with 1mm lingual extension exhibited more evenly distributed tensile stress than lingual chamfered laminates with 2mm and 3mm lingual extension. 3. As long as the lingual chamfer goes, less tensile stress was found at the incisal edge, while much more tensile stress was found at the lingual margin area in proportion to the length of lingual extension. 4. Under 125 degree load, tensile stress in porcelain laminate veneer had increased compared with that under 132 degree load and the difference exhibited by the change of the amount of tooth support was larger. 5. The types of incisal finish line and the distance from the incisal finish line to the loading point had more influence on the shear stress distribution in the resin cement layer than the amounts of incisal coverage. In contrast loading condition had little influence.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of scatter radiation to dental x-ray film with long time-exposure in the different structures of the tooth, by using pinhole camera. For this study, pinhole camera, skull with tooth, and pocket dosimeter were used. The radiation with 70 and 90kVp and exposure time (minimum: 2.5 min., maximum 10 hrs.) was projected to the film in the pinhole camera. And density of the obtained x-ray film was measured with densitometer. In the intra-oral film taking, the amount of exposure of the scatter radiation affecting the thyroid gland area was measured with the dosimeter at the thyroid gland. The density of radiographs was compared in radiation projected with or without the metal cone of dental machine. The effect of the back scatter radiation to the film was also evaluated when the lead foil was removed. The obtained results were as follows: 1. A pinhole camera was a valuable device for locating the source of x-ray. 2. The scatter radiation affected the dental x-ray film when the radiation source was exposed. more than 5 hours'. In that case, the density of the scatter radiation could be observed visually. 3. The scatter radiation caused by short exposure of dental radiation didn't affect the diagnostic quality of the dental x-ray film. 4. The differences of densities between the tooth and the soft tissue according to exposure time showed 0.16 in 5 hours' exposure & 0.17 in 10 hours' exposure at 70 kVp & 0.12 in 5 hours' exposure & 0.13 in 10 hours' exposure at the 90kVp. 5. The differences of densities between the tooth and the soft tissue according to kVp showed no difference between 5 hours' exposure of tooth at 70 kVp and soft tissue at 90 kVp, but showed 0.05 high density in tooth when 10 hours' exposure at 90 kVp. 6. No difference of density was on radiographs taken with or without dental machine cone. 7. Back scatter radiation was recorded image of radiographs for only 3 min. 8. The amounts of the scatter radiation exposed to the thyroid gland in intraoral film taking were 1.12 mr in upper anterior, 0.55 mr in upper posterior, 2.75 mr in lower anterior, and 1.92 mr in lower posterior teeth.

Purpose : To find the cause of root curvature by use of panoramic and lateral cephalometric radiograph. Materials and Methods : Twenty six 1st graders whose mandibular 1st molars .just emerged into the mouth were selected. Panoramic and lateral cephalometric radiograph were taken at grade 1 and 6, longitudinally. In cephalometric radio graph, mandibular plane angle, ramus-occlusal plane angle, gonial angle, and gonion-gnathion distance (Go-Gn distance) were measured. In panoramic radio graph, elongated root length and root angle were measured by means of digital subtraction radiography. Occlusal plane-tooth axis angle was measured, too. Pearson correlations were used to evaluate the relationships between root curvature and elongated length and longitudinal variations of all variables. Multiple regression equation using related variables was computed. Results : The Pearson correlation coefficient between curved angle and longitudinal variations of occlusal plane-tooth axis angle and ramus-occlusal plane angle was 0.350 and 0.401, respectively (p<0.05). There was no significant correlation between elongated root length and longitudinal variations of all variables. The resulting regression equation was $Y=10.209+0.208X_1+0.745X_2$ (Y: root angle, $X_1$: variation of occlusal plane-tooth axis angle, $X_2$: variation of ramus-occlusal plane angle). Conclusion : It was suspected that the reasons of root curvature were change of tooth axis caused by contact with 2nd deciduous tooth and amount of mesial and superior movement related to change of occlusal plane.

The preservation of a healthy periodontal attachment is the most significant factor in the long-term prognosis of a restored tooth. The 'Biologic Width' is composed of the connective tissue attachment and the epithelial attachment in the dentogingival junction. The violation of the biologic width may result in a progressive inflammatory process and crestal bone loss. So a careful soft tissue management is needed to preserve it for the gingival health and an esthetic restoration. The following clinical cases show the five different situations of the violation of the biologic width and their management.
