PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of the core materials, thickness and fabrication methods of veneering porcelain on prosthesis fracture in the porcelain fused to metal and the porcelain veneered zirconia. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Forty nickel-chrome alloy cores and 40 zirconia cores were made. Half of each core group was 0.5 mm-in thickness and the other half was 1.0 mm-in thickness. Thus, there were four groups with 20 cores/group. Each group was divided into two subgroups with two different veneering methods (conventional powder/liquid layering technique and the heat-pressing technique). Tensile strength was measured using the biaxial flexural strength test based on the ISO standard 6872:2008 and Weibull analysis was conducted. Factors influencing fracture strength were analyzed through three-way ANOVA (${\alpha}{\leq}.05$) and the influence of core thickness and veneering method in each core materials was assessed using two-way ANOVA (${\alpha}{\leq}.05$). RESULTS. The biaxial flexural strength test showed that the fabrication method of veneering porcelain has the largest impact on the fracture strength followed by the core thickness and the core material. In the metal groups, both the core thickness and the fabrication method of the veneering porcelain significantly influenced on the fracture strength, while only the fabrication method affected the fracture strength in the zirconia groups. CONCLUSION. The fabrication method is more influential to the strength of a prosthesis compared to the core character determined by material and thickness of the core.

PURPOSE. The porcelain fused to gold has been widely used as a restoration both with the natural esthetics of the porcelain and durability and marginal fit of metal casting. However, recently, due to the continuous rise in the price of gold, an interest towards materials to replace gold alloy is getting higher. This study compared the bond strength of porcelain to millingable palladium-silver (Pd-Ag) alloy, with that of 3 conventionally used metal-ceramic alloys. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Four types of metal-ceramic alloys, castable nonprecious nickel-chrome alloy, castable precious metal alloys containing 83% and 32% of gold, and millingable Pd-Ag alloy were used to make metal specimens (n=40). And porcelain was applied on the center area of metal specimen. Three-point bending test was performed with universal testing machine. The bond strength data were analyzed with a one-way ANOVA and post hoc Scheffe's tests (${\alpha}=.05$). RESULTS. The 3-point bending test showed the strongest ($40.42{\pm}5.72$ MPa) metal-ceramic bond in the nonprecious Ni-Cr alloy, followed by millingable Pd-Ag alloy ($37.71{\pm}2.46$ MPa), precious metal alloy containing 83% of gold ($35.89{\pm}1.93$ MPa), and precious metal alloy containing 32% of gold ($34.59{\pm}2.63$ MPa). Nonprecious Ni-Cr alloy and precious metal alloy containing 32% of gold showed significant difference (P<.05). CONCLUSION. The type of metal-ceramic alloys affects the bond strength of porcelain. Every metal-ceramic alloy used in this study showed clinically applicable bond strength with porcelain (25 MPa).

A variety of the porcelain fused to gold(PFG) have been developed to which porcelain can be fused. PFG alloys developed for this purposed have a high melting point and do not discolor when combined with porcelain. The design of the compositions of PFG is very important to esthetic restorative materials applying to porcelain. The purpose of this study is on the change of physical and mechanical characteristics in PFG 18K alloy by the small additional elements. Principal results are as follows. The high Au alloy containing 18Karat gold contents is respectively Au(75%), Pd(10%), Pt(4%), Ag(4%), In(2%), Sn(2%), Cu(2%), Ti(1%). These alloys are composed mainly of gold, platinum, silver and palladium with a few percent of the additional elements. By the addition of small amounts of elements such as In, Sn, Ti, the fine grain castings are produced in gold alloy and the small addition of platinum is very effective in increasing of hardness and strength. These gold alloys are representative of the changes to be expected as a result of heat treatment. These changes in strength and hardness values are sufficient to demonstrate a significant difference in performance between a as-casted and a heat-treated. These alloys have mechanical properties characteristics of Type and Type gold alloys. These alloys are useful to porcelain-metal restorations and dental laboratory. Also the porcelain fused to metal(PFM) alloys containing gold are commonly use for dental purposes in dental laboratory.

There was a great problem about the deposition between materials of a different kind at the beginnings of the introduction of porcelains, however, thereafter the deposition efficiency was settlded to the sufficient level of all user thanks to effort to have studied by many scholars and clinical authorities. But in a clinical process, as the difference of designs has an effect on fractures of porcelains, this researcher divided them into 4 groups of A: 1 mm, B: 2 mm, C: 3 mm, and D: 4 mm, and made 40 pieces to each 10 as the test samples to consider a length axis of tooth for studies in accordance with a position of a finishing line to meet between porcelain and metal at the contact point at the adjacent side to a metal porcelain. The sample materials are those to be use at the open market and the test samples wer completed by the same manufacturing technique to that of existent metal porcelain tube. s a result of the strength test on fractures, the average value is as in the following, A: 1 mm - 8.5bar, B: 2 mm - 10.5bar, C: 3 mm - 14.3bar, and D: 4 mm - 15.0bar. In case of the metal porcelain tube, the more faraway to process parts of metal and porcelain from the contact point of adjacent side has the stronger strength of fractures, Accordingly, the research shows that it had better to keep off more than 3 to consider a ledngth axis of tooth.

This study was carried out to investiagate the residual stress caused by the mismatch of thermal expansion and the bond failure resistance of alloy-porcelain specimens. The thermal expansions of alloys and porcelains were measured by using a straight push-rod dilatometer. Porcelain glass transition temperatures, thermal expansion coefficients, and thermal compatibility indices were derived from length-versus-temperature curves. Strain gauges were used to experimentally determine the Young's moduli of porcelains, the residual stresses of porcelain surface, and tensile bond strengths of the specimens of simulated porcelain metal crown. The obtained results were as follows: 1. The coefficients of thermal expansion for alloys were the minimum of $13.53\mu/^{\circ}C$ and the maximum of $20.11\mu/^{\circ}C$ in the range of $100\sim600^{\circ}C$ and those for porcelains were the minimum of $7.72\mu/^{\circ}C$ and the maximum of $31.24\mu/^{\circ}C$ in the range of $100\sim500^{\circ}C$. 2. The glass transition temperature of porcelains exhibited the same value without my relation to the healing rate, and the thermal disharmony of porcelain and alloy was more affected by porcelains than by the alloys. 3. The Young's moduli of body porcelains were larger than those of opaque porcelains(P<0.01) 4. It seemed that the residual stresses of porcelain surfaces in the porcelainalloy systems were more affected by porcelains than by alleys. 5. The bond strengths of the procelain-base metal alloy systems were larger than those of the porcelain-precious metal alloy systems. The fracture strengths of porcelain surfaces showed significant difference between porcelains (P<0.05).

도재 라미네이트 비니어(Porcelain laminate veneer, PLV)는 아주 얇은 도재를 치면에 직접 적용시키는 술식으로 전치부 심미 개선을 목적으로 전부피개관 대신에 보존적으로 사용될 수 있다. 그러나 PLV의 성공을 높이기 위해 치질 삭제량을 적절히 조절하는 것은 어려울 뿐만 아니라, 각 치아마다 법랑질 두께가 다양하고 증령에 따라 치관구조 역시 변화하기 때문에 치아 삭제시 주의가 필요하다. 즉 치아 순면을 따라 일관되게 삭제하는 기존의 방법을 이용할 경우 법랑질이 얇아진 부위에서는 상아질이 노출될 위험이 있다. 이를 방지하기 위해 다양한 치아 삭제 방법들이 소개되고 있는데 진단 납형제작을 통한 실리콘 인덱스와 아크릴릭 레진 mock-up을 이용한 방법은 최종적인 수복물의 형태에 기초하여 치아를 삭제할 수 있어 불필요한 법랑질 삭제를 줄이고 상아질 노출을 최소화할 수 있다. 또한 비정상적으로 배열된 치아 삭제시에도 적절한 삭제량 결정이 어려워 삭제량이 과도해지거나 부족해지기 쉬운데, 최종 보철물의 형태를 기준으로 실리콘 인덱스를 제작하면 이를 방지할 수 있다.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of manual polishing over autoglazed and overglazed porcelain and their effect on plaque accumulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Thirty-six porcelain discs were fabricated out of which 18 each was subjected for autoglazing and overglazing. Half surface of the discs was left intact; the remaining half was roughened with medium grit diamond bur. Roughened surfaces were repolished by porcelain polishing kits (Shofu, DFS, Eve). All the surfaces were evaluated by the perthometer and SEM. Six discs from each sample were placed in human volunteer's mouth for 72 hours to evaluate the plaque accumulation. Acquired data was subjected to ANOVA comparative evaluation. RESULTS. Roughened surfaces had average roughness value of $2.88{\pm}0.1935{\mu}m$. The repolished surfaces by porcelain correction kits Shofu, DFS and Eve, average roughness value reduced to $0.6250{\pm}0.1036$, $0.9192{\pm}0.0953$, $0.9017{\pm}0.1305$ respectively. Autoglazed and overglazed surfaces showed the mean roughness value (Ra) of $0.4217{\pm}0.0685$, $0.3450{\pm}0.0729$. SEM study showed the improved surfaces when subjected for polishing. Plaque accumulation percentage was the highest on roughened surface ($93.83{\pm}6.2552%$), followed by porcelain discs polished by commercial kits. Autoglazed surfaces found to be the best surfaces with the least plaque accumulation ($0.5237{\pm}0.4209%$). CONCLUSION. All the polishing kits used in the study reduced the average roughness by approximately 77%. Corrected porcelain surfaces should ideally be reglazed, alternatively, polish the surfaces before final cementation.

목적: 본 연구는 하부구조물과 축성된 도재의 두께 차이에 따른 색상의 차이를 비교연구하여 보고자 함이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 금속하부구조물과 완전도재 하부구조물위에 0.5 mm 간격으로 도재의 두께를 다르게 축성을 한 후에 spectrophotometer를 이용하여, 색상을 측정하였다. 이후 측색값과 ${\Delta}E*$값을 통계학적으로 비교 분석하였다. 결과: 도재의 두께가 증가함에 따라 명도가 감소하였다(P < 0.05). 세라믹 하부구조물의 경우 축성된 도재의 두께가 증가할수록 $a^*$값이 감소였으나(P < 0.05), 두께는 $b^*$값에 유의한 영향을 주지 않았다. 도재 두께 차이가 0.5 mm 이하일 경우 ${\Delta}E*$값이 1이하였다. 결론: 하부구조물의 종류에 따라 차이가 있으나, 도재의 두께가 색상에 영향을 주는 요소이며, 두께에 따른 색조 변화 양상의 인지를 통하여, 임상에서 도재 두께변화를 이용한 색상조절에 도움이 될 것이라 사료된다.

This paper reports the contamination performance of transmission line porcelain insulators tested under five different contaminant conditions - clean and ESDD (equivalent salt deposit density) level (A, B, C, and D) through measurement of their leakage current under drop of potential method. To estimate the contamination for transmission line porcelain insulators, leakage current waveform and its maximum value were measured under step-up power test. In the clean insulators test, % distortion factors decreased with increasing step-up power, and as the ESDD level increased, some characteristics such as frequency analysis, harmonics and % distortion facotor could be used for contamination diagnosis of the transmission line porcelain insulators.
