Acoustic emission technique is applied to the fatigue crack initiation in a carburized gear tooth. Acoustic emission test performed on carburized gear and three-point bending test equal to carburized gear hardness. The marked acoustic emission are detected at the early stage of crack initiation measured by a crack gauge and the final stage just before the tooth failure. The estimated acoustic emission energy rate are characteristic of the measured acoustic emission.

A cracked tooth is defined as an incomplete fracture initiated from the crown and extending subgingivally and usually directed mesiodistally. Cracked teeth were most frequently involved in mandibular and maxillary molars at the age of 50s. Cracks occurred mainly in nonbonded restorations such as gold and amalgam, and majority of cracks were found in intact teeth. A pulpal and periapical diagnosis is dependent on the extent of the crack and duration of the symptom. The pulp of a cracked tooth might become inflamed because of microleakage, which induces thermal sensitivity. Once the crack has extended and exposed the pulp, severe pulp and periapical pathosis will likely be present. In addition, the extended crack can cause a bony dehiscence with a resulting narrow and deep periodontal pocket. Therefore, early diagnosis of the cracked tooth and proper treatment planning are important for clinician.

During dental treatment, if a tooth were fractured suddenly by unnoticed tooth crack or vertical root fracture, it would be very embarrassing and frustrating experiences to dentists. But if it were once diagnosed as one of these teeth fracture, dentist should know about the etiology, course of fracture development, treatment modality to avoid argument with patient. In here cases and diagnostic skills, etiology and treatement methods of tooth fracture originated by internal stress and masticatory force were discussed to help dentists.

This paper deals with an evaluation of the residual stress due to shot peening induced in a carburized gear tooth and its application to the fatigue crack propagation problem. A practical method is proposed on the basis of the assumption that the residual stress is caused by the difference of volume expansion in the case and the core, and the influence of both the reduction of retained austenite and the strain due to shot peening are considered. The evaluated residual stress is close to the measured stress, though the surface stress is rather overestimated. The stress intensity factor is computed by the influence function method, and it is shown that the factor is decreased by the residual stress in shot peened gear tooth. The shot peening is fairly effective to the reduction of fatigue crack growth rate. The crack propagation is simulated and the resistance due to shot peening is quantitatively demonstrated and discussed.

In order to acquire clear images capable of diagnosing cracked tooth by light transmission, the optical properties of LED light source were examined. Based on the results, the prototype which basically consisted of LED light source, bandpass filter and commercial compact camera module was designed and manufactured. The wavelength and optical power of the LED in the prototype were 850 nm and 7 mW/Sr, respectively. In evaluation of the prototype using microscope, the observation of the crack with width of above $17{\mu}m$ was possible. In addition, image analysis to obtain shape information on the observed tooth cracks was carried out.

Purpose: The aims of the present study were to compare the image quality and visibility of tooth cracks between conventional methods and swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and to develop an automatic detection technique for tooth cracks by SS-OCT imaging. Methods: We evaluated SS-OCT with a near-infrared wavelength centered at 1,310 nm over a spectral bandwidth of 100 nm at a rate of 50 kHz as a new diagnostic tool for the detection of tooth cracks. The reliability of the SS-OCT images was verified by comparing the crack lines with those detected using conventional methods. After performing preprocessing of the obtained SS-OCT images to emphasize cracks, an algorithm was developed and verified to detect tooth cracks automatically. Results: The detection capability of SS-OCT was superior or comparable to that of trans-illumination, which did not discriminate among the cracks according to depth. Other conventional methods for the detection of tooth cracks did not sense initial cracks with a width of less than $100{\mu}m$. However, SS-OCT detected cracks of all sizes, ranging from craze lines to split teeth, and the crack lines were automatically detected in images using the Hough transform. Conclusions: We were able to distinguish structural cracks, craze lines, and split lines in tooth cracks using SS-OCT images, and to automatically detect the position of various cracks in the OCT images. Therefore, the detection capability of SS-OCT images provides a useful diagnostic tool for cracked tooth syndrome.

본 연구의 목적은 초음파를 이용하여 치근단 역충전와동을 형성하는 경우 와동형성의 효율과 치질의 균열 발생을 알아보기 위함이다. 발거된 상악 제 1 대구치 원심협측 치근 91개를 대상으로 치근단 3 mm를 치아의 장축에 직각되게 절단 제거한 다음 저속 round bur를 사용한 군을 대조군으로 하고 제 1에서 제 10까지의 출력 각 단계의 stainless steeel 초음파 기구를 이용한 군을 실험군으로 하여 치근단 역충전 와동을 형성하고 각 치근단 역충전 와동을 형성하는 데 소요되는 시간 및 stroke 수를 측정하였으며, 역충전와동 형성 전후의 치아 균열 발생을 fiberoptic을 이용한 입체현미경으로 측정 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 초음파의 출력 단계가높을수록 역충전와동을 형성하는데 소요된 시간 및 stroke 수가 감소 하였으며 (p<0.001) 감소되는 양상은 선적 관계를 보였다 (p<0.001). 제7에서 제 10 단계까지의 고출력의 초음파 기구로 와동 형성한 군에서는 저속 round bur로 와동 형성한 군이나 제 1 단계에서 제 3 단계까지의 저출력 초음파 군, 제 4 단계에서 제 6 단계까지의 중출력 초음파 군에 비해 치아 균열의 발생 빈도가 유의하게 높게 나타났고 (p<0.01), 저속 round bur, 저출력의 초음파 기구 그리고 중출력의 초음파 기구로 형성한 군 사이에는 치아 균열의 발생 빈도에 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다 (p>0.05). 고출력의 초음파를 이용한 경우에, 와동형성전에 균열이 이미 존재했던 치아에서는 균열이 존재하지 않았던 치아에서보다 와동형성 후 균열이 유의하게 많이 발생하였다(p<0.001). 저출력의 초음파를 이용한 경우에, 초기 근단공의 크기가 작았던 경우가 근단공의 크기가 컸던 경우에 비해 와동형성 후 균열이 유의하게 많이 발생하였다 (p<0.05).

The aim of this study was to clarify whether bonding/debonding procedure will affect the occurance of enamel crack. The frequency of enamel crack was compared between before-bonding and after-debonding on 200 human extracted teeth. Each facial surface of the tooth was divided in 9 fragments. A presence of crack, which was classified by its direction as vertical, horizontal and oblique crack, was surveyed in each fragment. Number of all cracks in facial surface was 1355 at before-bonding, and 1605 at after-debonding, so it revealed significant increase rate of $18.5\%$, but compared by fragment, cracks were significantly Increased in OC, OD, CC and GC fragments. All kinds of cracks were significantly increased, especially increase rate of oblique crack reached $54.9\%$. The increase rate of cracks was not superior at any fragment or region, but some evidence was seen in CC fragment. Judging from the above, increase of crack is unavoidable with bonding/debonding procedures.

Objectives: To determine the incidence of crack formation and propagation in apical root dentin after retreatment procedures performed using ProTaper Universal Retreatment (PTR), Mtwo-R, ProTaper Next (PTN), and Twisted File Adaptive (TFA) systems. Materials and Methods: The study consisted of 120 extracted mandibular premolars. One millimeter from the apex of each tooth was ground perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth, and the apical surface was polished. Twenty teeth served as the negative control group. One hundred teeth were prepared, obturated, and then divided into 5 retreatment groups. The retreatment procedures were performed using the following files: PTR, Mtwo-R, PTN, TFA, and hand files. After filling material removal, apical enlargement was done using apical size 0.50 mm ProTaper Universal (PTU), Mtwo, PTN, TFA, and hand files. Digital images of the apical root surfaces were recorded before preparation, after preparation, after obturation, after filling removal, and after apical enlargement using a stereomicroscope. The images were then inspected for the presence of new apical cracks and crack propagation. Data were analyzed with ${\chi}^2$ tests using SPSS 21.0 software. Results: New cracks and crack propagation occurred in all the experimental groups during the retreatment process. Nickel-titanium rotary file systems caused significantly more apical crack formation and propagation than the hand files. The PTU system caused significantly more apical cracks than the other groups after the apical enlargement stage. Conclusions: This study showed that retreatment procedures and apical enlargement after the use of retreatment files can cause crack formation and propagation in apical dentin.
