After clinical adjustment of dental casting restoration, re-polishing procedure is recommanded because the smooth gold sureface is lost. But there is the possibility to get more loose contact than that intended by loss of gold alloy according to the kinds of polishing materials and polishing time. Therefore in this study I polished type II gold alloy with 390gm force, 20,000rpm speed, and 8 kinds of gold alloy polishing materials, fabricated by 4 companies and then measured the amount of loss of gold alloy with Surfcorder SEF-30D and observed alloy surfaces polished by 3 brown rubber points with SEM. The amount of loss of gold alloys polished with 8 kinds of polishing materials and the degree of smoothness of gold alloys according to polishing time and polishing materials were compared. The following results were obtained : 1. When the amount of loss of gold alloys polished with 3 kinds of brown rubber point was compared, Alphalex brown point had the most amount of alloy loss, followed in decreasing order by Shofu brown point and Eveflex brown point. There was statistically significant difference in the amount of alloy loss according to polishing materials. 2. When the amount of loss of gold alloys polished with 5 kinds of green rubber point was compared, Shofu green point had the most amount of alloy loss, followed in decreasing order by Alphaflex green point, Dedeco green clasp polisher, and Eveflex green point. There was statistically significant difference in the amount of alloy loss according to polishing materials except Alphaflex green point and Dedeco green clasp polisher. 3. When the amount of loss of gold alloys polished with all kinds of rubber point was compared, there was no significant difference in Eveflex brown point, Alphaflex green point, and Dedeco green clasp polisher. 4. When average amount of alloy loss per 1 revolution by polishing materials was compared, Alphalex brown point had the greatest value as $0.329{\mu}m$ and Shofu supergreen point had the lowest value as $0.022{\mu}m$. 5. When the degree of sureface smoothness of gold alloy polished with 3 kinds of brown rubber point was compared, In Alphalex brown point surface roughness was completely lost after 20 seconds polishing time, in Shofu brown point 30 seconds, in Eveflex brown point 40 seconds. But in every gold alloys fine scratch formed by rubber points was observed. Based on the results of this study, as rubber polishing materials used in polishing of dental casting restoration after clinical adjustment influenced on the tightness of occlusal or proximal contact, we should make dental casting restoration with minimum error through careful laboratory procedure and form very smooth surface of restoration with tripoli and rouge after use of silicone polishing materials.

The smooth surface after polishing of composite resin contributes to the patient's comfort, and appearance and longevity of the restoration. This study was performed for the quantitative analysis of the effects of the various finishing and polishing instruments on the surface roughness and reflectivity of the microfill, and hybrid composite resins. Cylindrical specimens 2mm thick and 10mm in diameter of Silux Plus, Durafill VS ; Z100, Prisma TPH, Brilliant, and Herculite XR composite resin were polymerized under the matrix strip. 18 specimens for each composite resin materials were divided into 6 groups ; 5 experimental groups were abraded with # 600 sand paper to remove resin-rich layer, except control. Thereafter, using diamond bur(Mani Dia-Burs), carbide bur(E. T. carbide set 4159), rubber point(Composite polishing kit), aluminum-oxide disk(Sof-Lex disk), polishing paste(Enhance system) ; each specimen was polished to its best achievable surface according to manufacturer's directions. Final polished surfaces were evaluated for the surface roughness with profilometer(${\alpha}$-step 200, Tencor instruments, USA) and for the reflectivity with image analyser(Omniment Image Analyser, Buehler, USA). The results were as follows. 1. Polishing paste or aluminum-oxide disk finish in the microfill, and hybrid composite resins was as smooth as matrix strip finish on the surface roughness test. 2. Polishing paste or aluminum-oxide disk finish in the microfill ; polishing paste finish in the hybrid composite resins was as reflective as matrix strip finish on the refectivity test. 3. For the polishing paste, there were no significant differences between the composite resin materials on the surface roughness and refectivity tests. 4. For the aluminum-oxide disk, the best result was obtained with the microfill composite resin on the surface roughness and reflectivity test. 5. Diamond bur, carbide bur, and rubber point were inappropriate for the final polishing instruments.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of different finishing and polishing techniques on water absorption, water solubility, and microhardness of ceramic or glass-polymer based computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) materials following thermocycling. MATERIALS AND METHODS. 150 disc-shaped specimens were prepared from three different hybrid materials and divided into five subgroups according to the applied surface polishing techniques. All specimens were subjected up to #4000 grit SiC paper grinding. No additional polishing has been done to the control group (Group I). Other polishing procedures were as follows: Group II: two-stage diamond impregnated polishing discs; Group III: yellow colored rubber based silicone discs; Group IV: diamond polishing paste; and Group V: Aluminum oxide polishing discs. Subsequently, 5000-cycles of thermocycling were applied. The analyses were conducted after 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days of water immersion. Water absorption and water solubility results were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc tests. Besides, microhardness data were compared by Kruskal-Wallis and MannWhitney U tests (P<.05). RESULTS. Surface polishing procedures had significant effects on water absorption and solubility and surface microhardness of resin ceramics (P<.05). Group IV exhibited the lowest water absorption and the highest microhardness values (P<.05). Immersion periods had no effect on the microhardness of hybrid ceramic materials (P>.05). CONCLUSION. Surface finishing and polishing procedures might negatively affect physical properties of hybrid ceramic materials. Nevertheless, immersion periods do not affect the microhardness of the materials. Final polishing by using diamond polishing paste can be recommended for all CAD/CAM materials.

전치부 영역에서의 복합 레진을 이용한 수복물의 표면은 착색과 치태 침착이 적어야 하며 치은 조직에 좋은 내성을 갖도록 평활해야 한다. 레진 수복 후 여러 마무리 방법중 blade를 이용한 방법은 치은과 접해있는 변연 부위의 불필요한 레진을 제거하고 마무리하는데 있어 치은 손상을 최소화하면서 간편하게 이용할 수 있는 방법이다. 본 연구의 목적은 현재 많이 사용되고 있는 nano-hybrid composite resin과 ormocer-based compostie resin 간의 여러 가지 마무리 방법에 있어 blade를 이용한 방법과 polishing을 시행한 경우의 표면 거칠기 및 nano계열과 ormocer 계열 복합 레진의 표면 특징을 비교하는 것으로 실험을 위해 가로 6mm, 세로 3mm, 높이 2mm의 금속 주형을 이용하여 레진 블록을 형성하고 대조군은 상면에 mylar strip을 위치시켜 광중합 하였으며, Ormocer - based composite resin ($Admira^{(R)}$)과 nanohybrid composite resin ($Grandio^{(R)}$)에서는 blade를 이용한 경우와 rubber polishing을 이용한 경우를 실험군으로 하였고, ormocer-based flowable composite resin ($Admira^{(R)}$ Flow)과 nanohybrid flowable composite resin ($Grandio^{(R)}$ Flow)에서는 blade를 이용한 경우, rubber polishing을 이용한 경우와 추가적으로 아무것도 시행하지 않은 경우를 실험군으로 하였다. 레진 블록의 표면은 profilometer 및 SEM을 이용하여 거칠기 및 조도를 비교하였으며 통계분석 하였다. 실험 결과 mylar stirp을 적용한 경우 Ra (${\mu}m$) 평균 값은 ormocer-base composite resin이 $0.25{\mu}m$, ormocer-based flowable resin $0.17{\mu}m$, nanohybrid composite resin $0.24{\mu}m$, nanohybrid flowable resin $0.18{\mu}m$ 였으며 blade를 적용한 경우 평균 값은 각각 $0.43{\mu}m$, $0.37{\mu}m$, $0.48{\mu}m$, $0.41{\mu}m$ 였다. 가장 낮은 Ra (${\mu}m$)은 mylar stirp을 적용한 시편에서 얻어졌으며, blade를 이용한 마무리 방법과 rubber polishing을 시행한 경우와 표면 거칠기 비교시 Ra (${\mu}m$)값에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다 (P>0.05). Nanohybrid composite resin이 blade로 마무리하거나 rubber polishing후 ormocer-based composite resin보다 표면 거칠기 증가율이 좀 더 큰 것을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과는 blade를 이용한 마무리 방법이 다른 마무리 방법을 대체할 수 있을 것이라는 것을 보여주며, 이에 따라 본 실험 결과에 한정지어 볼 때 복합레진 수복후 마무리 방법으로 blade를 이용하여 시행하는 것이 적용가능 할 것이라 생각된다.

The composite resin, due to its esthetic qualities, is considered the material of choice for restoration of anterior teeth. With respect to shade control, the direct-placement resin composites offer some distinct advantages over indirect restorative procedures. Visible-light-cured (VLC) composites allow dentists to match existing tooth shades or to create new shades and to evaluate them immediately at the time of restoration placement. Optimal intraoral color control can be achieved if optical changes occurring during application are minimized. An ideal VLC composite, then, would be one which is optically stable throughout the polymerization process. The shade guides of the resin composites are generally made of plastic, rather than the actual composite material, and do not accurately depict the true shade, translucency, or opacity of the resin composite after polymerization. So the numerous problems associated with these shade guides lead to varied and sometimes unpredictable results. The aim of this study was to assess the color changes of current resin composite restorative materials which occur as a result of the polymerization process and to compare the color differences between the shade guides provided with the products and the actual resin composites before- and after-polymerization. The results obtained from this investigation should provide the clinician with information which may aid in improved color match of esthetic restoration. Five light activated, resin-based materials (${\AE}$litefil, Amelogen Universal, Spectrum TPH VeridonFil-Photo, and Z100) and shade guides were used in this study. Three specimens of each material and shade combination were made. Each material was condensed inside a 1.5mm thick metal mold with 10mm diameter and pressed between glass plates. Each material was measured immediately before polymerization, and polymerized with Curing Light XL 3000 (3M Dental products, USA) visible light-activation unit for 60 seconds at each side. The specimens were then polished sequentially on wet sandpaper. Shade guides were ground with polishing stones and rubber points (Shofu) to a thickness of approximately 1.5mm. Color characteristics were performed with a spectrophotometer (CM-3500d, Minolta Co., LTD). A computer-controlled spectrophotometer was used to determine CIELAB coordinates ($L^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$) of each specimen and shade guide. The CIELAB measurements made it possible to evaluate the amount of the color difference values (${\Delta}E{^*}ab$) of resin composites before the polymerization process and shade guides using the post-polishing color of the composite as a control, CIE standard D65 was used as the light source. The results were as follows. 1. Each of the resin composites evaluated showed significant color changes during light-curing process. All the resin composites evaluated except all the tested shades of 2100 showed unacceptable level of color changes (${\Delta}E{^*}ab$ greater than 3.3) between pre-polymerization and post-polishing state. 2. Color differences between most of the resin composites tested and their corresponding shade guides were acceptable but those between C2 shade of ${\AE}$litefil and IE shade of Amelogen Universal and their respective shade guides exceeded what is acceptable. 3. Comparison of the mean ${\Delta}E{^*}ab$ values of materials revealed that Z100 showed the least overall color change between pre-polymerization and post-polishing state followed by ${\AE}$litefil, VeridonFil-Photo, Spectrum TPH, and Amelogen Universal in the order of increasing change and Amelogen Universal. Spectrum TPH, 2100, VeridonFil-Photo and ${\AE}$litefil for the color differences between actual resin and shade guide. 4. In the clinical environment, the shade guide is the better choice than the shade of the actual resin before polymerization when matching colors. But, it is recommended that custom shade guides be made from resin material itself for better color matching.

심미적인 특성을 가진 복합레진은 전치부 수복용 재료로 많이 이용되고 있다. 복합레진 수복 시 만족스러운 결과를 얻기 위해서는 색조의 선택이 중요한 역할을 한다. 현재 대부분의 수복용 복합레진은 Vita Lumin 색조견본(shade guide)이나 각각의 회사에서 제공하는 색조견본을 사용하고 있으나, 색조 견본 사이의 색차와 수복물과 견본 사이에 색차가 예상되어 그 차이를 규명하여 임상적인 선택 시에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 4종의 광중합 복합레진(Gradia Direct (GD), Z250 (Z250), Clearfil AP-X (AP-X), $Esthet{\cdot}X$ ($E{\cdot}X$))과 A2와 A3의 색조 견본을 사용하였다. 각 재료마다 3개의 시편과 1개의 색조 견본을 제작하였다. Teflon 주형(깊이 1.35 mm, 직경 8 mm)에 각각의 복합레진을 채우고 응축한 후에 중합하여 젖은 사포로 연마하였다. 색조 견본을 연마용 stone과 고무를 이용하여 1.35 mm 두께로 연마하였다. 컴퓨터에 의해 조절되는 spectrophotometer(color i5, GretagMacbeth, USA)를 이용하여 시편과 색조견본의 색의 특성을 CIELAB coordinates ($L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$)로 평가하였다. CIELAB 계측을 통하여 복합레진과 색조 견본의 색차(${\Delta}E^*ab$)를 비교 평가 하였다. 광원으로는 CIE standard D65를 사용하였다. 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 동일한 shade로 설계된 여러 제조회사의 복합레진 시편의 $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$ 값 간에 유의할 만한 수준의 차이를 나타냈다(p<0.05). 2. 동일한 shade로 설계된 여러 제조회사의 복합레진 시편 간에 대부분 육안으로 인지할 만한 색차(${\Delta}E^*ab>3.3$)값을 나타냈다. 3. 동일한 shade로 설계된 여러 제조회사의 복합레진과 제조회사에서 제공되는 shade guide 및 Vita Lumin shade guide 간에 대부분 육안으로 인지할 만한 색차(${\Delta}E^*ab>3.3$)값을 나타냈다. 4. 임상에서 보다 나은 색 조화를 얻어 심미성을 향상시키기 위해서는 실제 수복물로 제작한 custom shade guide의 제작이 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 제조사에 의해 제공되는 색조 견본이나 Vita Lumin 색조 견본은 임상의에게 복합레진의 색조 선택 시에 정확한 기준을 제공하지는 않았고, 대부분의 제품에서 인지할 수 있는 색차가 있었다. 그러므로 보다 나은 색조 선택을 위해 수복용 레진으로 제작한 맞춤형 색조 견본을 사용하는 것을 추천한다.
