PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to compare the fit of cast gold crowns fabricated from the conventional and the digital impression technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Artificial tooth in a master model and abutment teeth in ten patients were restored with cast gold crowns fabricated from the digital and the conventional impression technique. The forty silicone replicas were cut in three sections; each section was evaluated in nine points. The measurement was carried out by using a measuring microscope and I-Soultion. Data from the silicone replica were analyzed and all tests were performed with ${\alpha}$-level of 0.05. RESULTS. 1. The average gaps of cast gold crowns fabricated from the digital impression technique were larger than those of the conventional impression technique significantly. 2. In marginal and internal axial gap of cast gold crowns, no statistical differences were found between the two impression techniques. 3. The internal occlusal gaps of cast gold crowns fabricated from the digital impression technique were larger than those of the conventional impression technique significantly. CONCLUSION. Both prostheses presented clinically acceptable results with comparing the fit. The prostheses fabricated from the digital impression technique showed more gaps, in respect of occlusal surface.

연구목적: 본 연구의 목적은 냉간 정수압 성형법 (cold isostatic press forming)을 이용한 새로운 지르코니아 블록의 제조와 이를 이용한 코어와 완전 도재관의 적합도를 비교 평가하여 임상적 이용 가능성을 평가 하고자 함이다. 연구 재료 및 방법:지르코니아 분말 (KZ-3YE Type A)을 단일 압축 성형하여 블록의 형태로 제작 한 후, 냉간 정수압 성형하여 블록을 제작하고, 성형이 끝난 지르코니아 블록은 $1040^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 반 소결하였다. 대조군은 상용 제품 ($Everest^{(R)}$, KAVO, Biberach/$Ri{\beta}$.)을 이용하였다. $1450{^{\circ}C}$의 온도에서 완전 소결된 실험군 블록과 대조군 블록의 수축률을 측정하고 비교하였다. CAD/CAM을 이용하여 총 21개의 코어를 제작하고 세 그룹으로 나누었다. Group I은 대조군 블록을 이용해 7개의 코어를 제작하고, Group II는 실험군 블록을 이용해 7개의 코어를 제작하였다. Group III은 실험군 블록을 이용해 7개의 코어를 제작하고 도재 ($Cerabien^{TM}$)를 축성하여 완전 도재관을 제작하였다. 제작된 코어와 완전 도재관을 모형에 합착한 후 레진으로 매몰하여 치관 장축의 협설과 근원심 방향을 따라 절단하고 지대치와 코어 사이의 변연 간격과 내부 축면 간격 그리고 내부 교합면 간격을 SEM ($S-4700^{(R)}$)을 이용해 측정하였다. 모든 측정값은 평균과 표준편차를 계산하고, one-way ANOVA test를 시행하여 실험 결과를 분석하였고, 95%유의 수준으로 검정하였다. 결과:실험군과 대조군 블록의 수축률을 측정한 결과 실험군 블록의 수축률은 19.00%였고, 대조군 블록의 수축률은 20.09%로 실험군 블록의 수축률이 더 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 적합도 측정 결과 변연 간격의 측정값에서 Group II의값($29.67{\pm}6.58 {\mu}m$)이 Group I의값($36.84 {\pm}7.18 {\mu}m$)보다 통계적으로 유의하게 작은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 Group II와 Group III의 값 사이에서는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 내부 측면 간격의 측정값에서 Group III의값($32.23{\pm}6.33 {\mu}m$)이 Group I와 Group II의내부측면간격의값($37.57{\pm}6.81{\mu}m$, $38.14{\pm}6.81{\mu}m$)보다 큰 것으로 나타났다. 각 부위의 간격 측정결과 내부 교합면 간격의 값이 변연 간격 및 내부 축면 간격의 값보다 유의하게 큰 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 현재 상용중인 대조군 블록과 비교하여 냉간 정수압 성형법으로 제조된 실험군 블록의 적합도는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 변연 적합도는 실험군에서 더 우수하였으며 도재를 축성한 완전 도재관의 적합성이 약간 더 향상되는 경향을 보였다. 변연 적합도는 대조군과 실험군 모두에서 임상적으로 허용되는 양호한 수치를 보였다.

EDI is one of the most important information technologies in todays business environment. This study is an exploratory study on the EDI control of Korean companies in their early stage of EDI implementation. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of EDI controls on the security and usefulness of EDI systems for Korean companies who have adopted EDI. The data of fifty-one Korean companies for financial, manufacturing, and trade industries are collected by the mail survey and interview methods. The level of EDI control is mediocre on the average. The level of EDI security is low while that of EDI usefulness is mediocre. The empirical results show that the EDI controls in general improve the EDI security and usefulness significantly. Especially, the application and security control affect the EDI security significantly while the management, application, and security controls affect the EDI usefulness significantly. The gap between the level and perceived importance of control does not affect the EDI security but decreses the EDI usefulness at the marginal level of significance. The limitation of this study is that only a small number of companies are available for data collection because Korea is in the early stage of EDI implementation.

Purpose: This technical report aims to describe and detail the use of micro-computed tomography for a reliable evaluation of the bulk-fill composite/tooth interface. Materials and Methods: Bulk-fill composite restorations in tooth cavities were scanned using micro-computed tomography to obtain qualitatively and quantitatively valuable information. Two-dimensional information was processed using specific algorithms, and ultimately a 3-dimensional (3D) specimen reconstruction was generated. The 3D rendering allowed the visualization of voids inside bulk-fill composite materials and provided quantitative measurements. The 3D analysis software VG Studio MAX was used to perform image analysis and assess gap formation within the tooth-restoration interface. In particular, to evaluate internal adaptation, the Defect Analysis addon module of VG Studio Max was used. Results: The data, obtained with the processing software, highlighted the presence and the shape of gaps in different colours, representing the volume of porosity within a chromatic scale in which each colour quantitatively represents a well-defined volume. Conclusion: Micro-computed tomography makes it possible to obtain several quantitative parameters, providing fundamental information on defect shape and complexity. However, this technique has the limit of not discriminating materials without radiopacity and with low or no filler content, such as dental adhesives, and hence, they are difficult to visualise through software reconstruction.
