PURPOSE. The aim of this work is to evaluate different types of materials used for making implant abutments, by means of an in vitro study and a review of the literature, in order to identify the indications for a better choice of an implant-supported restoration in the anterior section. MATERIALS AND METHODS. 5 implant abutments were tested in a random order in the superior anterior maxilla of pig gingiva (n = 8): titanium dioxide (Nobel Biocare); zirconium dioxide, Standard BO shade (Nobel Biocare, Kloten, Switzerland); zirconium dioxide, Light BI shade (Nobel Biocare); zirconium dioxide, Intense A 3.5 shade (Nobel Biocare); and aluminium oxide. Each abutment was tested for 2 mm and 3 mm thickness. To determine color variation, VITA Easyshade Advance spectrophotometer (Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad Sackingen, Germany) was used. RESULTS. Results showed that the color variation induced by the abutment would be affected by the abutment material and gingival thickness, when the gingival thickness is 2 mm. All materials except zirconium dioxide (Standard shade) caused a visible change of color. Then, as the thickness of the gingiva increased to 3 mm, the color variation was attenuated in a significant manner and became invisible for all types of abutments, except those made of aluminium oxide. CONCLUSION. Zirconium dioxide is the material causing the lowest color variation at 2 mm and at 3 mm, whereas aluminium oxide causes the highest color variation no matter the thickness.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate influence of mechanical properties of gingival shade composite resins(GSCRs) according to thermocycling treatment. Methods: The material utilized in this study was Crea.lign(CGR), Twiny flow(TGF) and Twiny(TGP). Total sixty specimens were fabricated with a dimension of $25{\times}2{\times}2mm$ according to the ISO 4049. After fabrications, specimens of before and after thermocycling(to $55^{\circ}C$ from $5^{\circ}C$) were stored in the distilled water for 24 hours at the $37^{\circ}C$. Three-point flexural test was performed in universal testing machine(Instron 5966, USA) at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Flexural strength, flexural modulus and work of fracture according to the thermocycling were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA analysis. Surface analysis of GSCRs after thermocycling evaluated using the scanning electron microscope. Results: : The highest FS was measured in TGP group of NTC group and lowest in CGR group after TC. After TC, FS and FM decreased in CGR and TGP groups, but TGF increased. There was a statistically significant difference between FS and WOF in GSCRs(p<0.05). But FM did not show any significant difference after TC (p>0.05). The strength of the characteristic exceeded the flexural strength required by ISO 4049(> 80 MPa). Weibull modulus(m) showed the highest reliability in the TGP group (m = 14.22), and the reliability of the TGF and TGP groups after TC decreased. Conclusion: Thermocycling treatment is important factor influence of mechanical properties with gingival shade composite resins. Therefore, we recommended that mechanical properties need to get useful information and accuracy for life-span expectancy according to the thermocycling treatment.

As cool-season plant, Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer is planted under shade-installation with tall front and low rear. However, at different planting positions, distinct differences come out because ginseng grows at the same position within 3~5 years and the growth circumstance changes a lot by the shade-installation. So, in this study, changes of temperature, photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence with varieties of shading material and planting position were investigated. Light transmittances by polyethylene shade net and silver-coated shading plate as planting materials were measured according to different planting positions. Photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll fluorescence were measured by LI-6400-40 (Li-Cor). According to different planting positions, light intensity was higher in silver-coated shading plate than in polyethylene shade net, and higher at front than rear. Also, photosynthetic rate showed the same tendency, which had a positive correlation to light intensity. But this treatment caused a lower Fo compared with polyethylene shade net because of the stress by light and temperature. Also, Fv/Fm and ETR were higher in silver-coated shading plate. Fo was similar at front and rear according to silver-coated shading plate and ETR was higher at front.

Statement of problem : Problem of matching the appearance of porcelain restorations with the patient's natural dentition has always been a concern to dental clinicians. Recently, demands for esthetics, even in restorations requiring strength, has brought a revolution to dentistry and increased use of zirconia. Among the various factors, shade and translucency or the core can significantly affect the overall esthetics of the restoration and should be considered when selecting an all-ceramic system. Purpose : The purpose of this study was to spectrophotometrically evaluate the influence of different zirconia systems and core thickness on the final shade of all-ceramic restorations using the CIEL$^*a^*b^*$ system. Material and Methods: Core specimens (n : 20 per group) of In-Ceram Alumina, In-Ceram Zirconia, Digident CAD/CAM Zirconia, Cercon Zirconia were fabricated 20mm in diameter. 10 specimens of each group were fabricated at core thickness of 0.5mm and 0.7mm. These core specimens were veneered with shade Al & A3 porcelain of the recommended manufacturer. CIEL$^*a^*b^*$ coordinates were recorded for each specimen with a spectrophotometer (Model CM-2600d, Minolta, Japan). Color differences were calculated using the equation ${\Delta}E^*=[({\Delta}L^*)^2+({\Delta}a^*)^2+({\Delta}b^*)^2]^{\frac{1}{2}}$. Results : 1. Specimens of core thickness 0.5mm and 0.7mm did not exhibit clinically perceived color difference. 2. Regarding shade reproducibility, In-Ceram Alumina and In-Ceram Zirconia showed significant difference within each group. 3. Cercon Zirconia group showed the highest $L^*$ value and Digident Zirconia group showed lowest $a^*$ & $b^*$ value. 4. Generally the shade difference between materials was higher in the A3 shade group than in the Al shade group. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, there was no color difference after increase in core thickness and every all-ceramic system has color characteristics that clinicians have to consider when selecting materials. Also, manufacturers of different porcelain systems must make every effort to achieve color reproducibility.

도재 수복물 제작을 위해 자연치아의 색조를 분석하는 방법으로는 색견본 (shade guide)을 이용하는 시각적인 방법과 기계를 이용하는 방법이 있다. 그중 통상적인 육안 관찰을 통해 색조를 선택하는 것은 임상에서 가장 많이 이용되고 있는 방법이기는 하나 주관적이며 일관되지 않은 결과로 신뢰성의 문제가 제기되었으며 자연치의 색조는 매우 다양하여 같은 치아라 할지라도 부위별로 다양한 색조를 가지기 때문에 단순히 shade tab을 이용한 색조 비교만으로는 정확한 치아의 색조 특성을 나타내는 것이 불가능한 것으로 알려져 있다. 한편 지속적인 기술발달로 computer color matching system, 치과용 비색계, 분광 측정기 등의 기계를 이용한 치아 색조 측정 방법이 이의 대안으로 제시되고 있다. 기계를 이용한 방법은 색조 선택에 있어 객관적이며, 재현성이 있는 정확한 정보를 술자에게 제공한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 광원, 개인, 술자의 숙련도에 따라 육안과 기계를 통한 관찰 시 치아 색조 선택의 정확성을 확인하기 위한 실험을 시행하였다. 첫 번째 실험에서는 치과대학병원 전공의인 1명의 검사자가 10명의 피검자를 오전, 정오, 오후 각 3번의 측정을 통해 시간대별 자연광하에 육안, 기계 측정의 색조 선택 정확성을 분석하였다. 두 번째 실험에서는 5명의 치과대학병원 전공의와 5명의 치과대 학생, 총 10명의 검사자가 10명의 피검자를 정오에 육안, 기계 관찰을 통해 개인차에 따른 정확성을 실험하였다. 세 번째 실험에서는 두 번째 실험의 결과를 5명의 치과대학 전공의, 5명의 치과대학생 군으로 나누어 숙련도에 따른 육안, 기계 색조 선택의 정확성을 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 첫 번째 실험에서는 기계 측정 결과가 육안 측정보다 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이며 (P < .05) 색조 선택의 정확성을 나타내었고, 두 번째 실험에서 역시 기계 측정시 개개인의 육안 측정에 의한 색조 선택 값에 비해 재현성 및 정확성이 높았으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다 (P < .05). 세 번째 실험에서 이전 실험의 결과를 숙련자, 비숙련자 군으로 나누어 분석한 결과 군 내 기계 측정값이 육안 관찰값보다 숙련도에 상관없이 정확도가 높으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다 (P < .05). 하지만 군 간 육안, 기계 측정값을 비교 시 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않아 치아 색조를 육안, 기계 측정할 때 술자의 숙련도가 큰 영향을 미치지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 기계를 이용하는 치아 색조 측정 방법이 색견본을 이용하는 시각적인 방법에 비해 더 정확하기는 하지만 어느 정도의 측색 오류를 고려해야하며 수복물 제작 시 정확한 재현과 효과적인 정보 전달을 위해 시각적인 방법과의 병행이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 현재 임상에 사용되고 있는 opaque shade 복합레진의 opacity와 배경색 차단 능력을 평가하였다. 24개의 배경 시편 (직경 5.5 mm, 두께 3 mm)을 Tescera ATL Root dentin Mustard로 제작하고 배경판 레진 상에 7종의 opaque shade 복합레진 (Universal composite, Filtek Z350, Charisma, Clearfil ST, Palpaque Estelite, Esthet-X, Metafil Flo)과 통상적인 복합레진인 Estelite Sigma를 3.0 mm 적층 수복하였다. 적층된 opaque shade 복합레진의 표면 색상을 측정한 후, 적층한 두께가 0.5 mm가 될 때까지 0.3 mm 간격으로 적층된 면을 연마하면서 각 두께에서의 표면 색상을 측정하였다. 연마 후 각 두께에서 측정된 opaque shade 복합레진의 표면 색상과 적층 전의 배경판 색상, 그리고 연마전의 표면 색상 간의 색차를 계산하여 두께에 따른 배경색 차단 능력을 평가하였다. 또한 1 mm 두께의 시편을 제작하고 opacity를 측정하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. Opaque shade 복합레진의 opacity는 Clearfil ST, Metafil Flo, Filtek Z350, Palpaque Estelite, Universal composite, Charisma, Esthet-X 순으로 감소하였다 (p < 0.05). Opaque shade 복합레진의 두께의 감소에 따라 $L^*$ 값은 감소하는 양상을, $a^*$ 값은 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 연마 전 표면 색상과 연마 후 각 두께에서의 색차 (${\Delta}E^*$)는 Clearfil ST 군은 모든 군에서, Metafil Flo 군은 1.0 mm 이상에서 3 이하의 색차를 보였다. 배경 색상에 대한 각 opaque shade 복합레진의 색차는 모든 두께에서 10 이상의 색차를 보였으며, Clearfil ST와 Metafil Flo가 가장 큰 색차를 보였다 (p < 0.05). 현재 임상에 사용되고 있는 opaque shade 복합레진들은 제조사에 따라 서로 다른 opacity와 색상을 가진다. 따라서 재료의 선택에 있어 적용하고자 하는 병소의 특성에 따라 opaque shade 복합레진의 opacity와 색상에 대한 충분한 고려가 필요하리라 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of plasma arc curing (PAC) unit for composite and compomer curing. To compare its effectiveness with conventional quartz tungsten halogen (QTH) light curing unit, the polymerization shrinkage rates and amounts of three composites (Z100, Z250, Synergy Duo Shade) and one compomer, that had been light cured by PAC unit or QTH unit, was compared using a custome made linometer. The measurement of polymerization shrinkage was peformed after polymerization with either QTH unit or PAC unit. In case of curing with the PAC unit, the composite was light cured with Apollo 95E for 6s, the power density of which was recorded as 1350 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ by Coltolux Light Meter. For light curing with QTH unit, the composite was light cured for 30s with the XL2500, the power density of which was recorded as 800 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ by Coltolux Light Meter. The amount of linear polymerization shrinkage was recorded in the computer every 0.5s for 60s. Ten measurements were made for each material. The amount of linear polymerization shrinkage for each material in 10s and 60s which were cured with PAC or QTH unit were compared with t test. The amount of polymerization shrinkage in the tested materials were compared with 1way ANOVA with Duncan's multiple range test. As for the amounts of polymerization shrinkage in 60s, there was no difference between PAC unit and QTH unit in Z250 and Synergy Duo Shade. In Z100 and Dyract AP, it was lower when it was cured with PAC unit than when it was cured with QTH unit (p<0.05). As for the amounts of polymerization shrinkage in 10s, there was no difference between PAC unit and QTH unit in Z100 and Dyract AP. The amounts of polymerization shrinkage was significantly higher when it was cured with PAC unit in Z250 and Synergy Duo Shade (p<0.05). The amounts of polymerization shrinkage in the tested materials when they were cured with QTH unit were Z250 (6.6um) < Z100 (9.3um), Dyract AP (9.7um) < Synergy Duo Shade (11.2um) (p<0.05). The amount of polymerization shrinkage when the materials were cured with PAC unit were Dyract AP (5.6um) < Z100 (8.1um), Z250(7.0um) < Synergy Duo Shade (11.2um) (p<0.05).

The effects of thermocycling procedure and material shade on the mechanical properties and wear resistance of resin-based dental restorative materials are investigated. The modulus of elasticity, hardness, plasticity index and wear resistance are determined for the conventional composite, the nanohybrid composite and the nanofilled dental composites. Disc-shape samples are prepared from each material to investigate the effects of thermocycling procedure on the mechanical properties and wear resistance of different types of dental restorative materials. In this respect, a group of samples is thermocycled and the other group is stored in ambient conditions. Then nano-indentation and nano-scratch tests are performed on the samples to measure their mechanical properties and wear resistance. Results show that the A1E shade of the dental nanocomposite possesses higher modulus of elasticity and hardness values compared to the two other shades. According to the experimental results, the mean values for the modulus of elasticity and hardness of the A1E shade of the nanocomposite are 13.71 GPa and 1.08 GPa, respectively. The modulus of elasticity and hardness of the conventional dental composite increase around 30 percent in the oral environment due to the moisture and temperature changes. The wear resistance of the dental composites is also significantly affected by moisture and temperature changes in the oral conditions. It is observed that thermocycling has no significant effect on the hardness, plasticity index and wear resistance of the nanohybrid composite and the nanocomposite dental materials.

Effective climate protection is a most important tasks of our time. The BIPV is one of the most interesting and promisingly possibilities of an active use of solar energy at the building. In this study it was analyzed by the case study the function of the requirement of the BIPV-module as building material and this architectural characteristic according to the kind of the module. Therefore the goal of this study is to get securing the application information of BIPV as windowpane. BIPV modules are manufactured in the form of G/G. In the case of the crystal type the Transparent and the light Transmission is to be adjusted by the spacer attitude of the cell. Although this type could not be optimal for light effect of indoors because of the inequality of shade, the moving shade play makes a dramatic Roomimage by the run of sun. The application of this type would be for canopy, window or roof in the corridor or resounds. With amorphous the type it is to be manufactured simply largely laminar, and thus that will shorten building process. There is a relatively good economy to use and to the window system easily. After the production technology is easy the transparency of the modules to adjust, and the module shows to a high degree constant characteristics of light permeability and transparency. Without mottle of module shade is good the use for the window or roof glazing of office, library, classroom, etc. to adapt. The BIPV modules took generally speaking a function as building material to the daylight use, shading, isolation and also to the sight. That means that BIPV modules have as multifunctional system to sustainable architecture good successes and they are at the same time as Design element for architecture effectively.

The purpose of this review was to suggest practical criteria for the clinical translucency evaluation of direct esthetic restorative materials, and to review the translucency with these criteria. For the evaluation of reported translucency values, measuring instrument and method, specimen thickness, background color, and illumination should be scrutinized. Translucency parameter (TP) of 15 to 19 could be regarded as the translucency of 1 mm thick human enamel. Visual perceptibility threshold for translucency difference in contrast ratio (${\Delta}CR$) of 0.07 could be transformed into ${\Delta}TP$ value of 2. Translucency differences between direct and indirect resin composites were perceivable (${\Delta}TP>2$). Universal and corresponding flowable resin composites did not show perceivable translucency differences in most products. Translucency differed significantly by the product within each shade group, and by the shade group within each product. Translucency of human enamel and perceptibility threshold for translucency difference may be used as criteria for the clinical evaluation of translucency of esthetic restorative materials.
