Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the shear bond strength between various commercial zirconia coping and veneering ceramic, and to observe the failure mode. Methods: For each zirconia block (iJAM Emerald, LUXEN Smile block, ICE Zirkon transluzent), 10 rectangular specimens were layered with Cercon ceram kiss, IPS e.max ceram, ICE Zirkon ceramic according to recommended by the manufacturer. The shear bond strength tests of the veneering porcelain to zirconia were carried out until fracture by a universal testing machine. After the shear bond tests, failure modes were characterized visually, under a stereomicroscope, such as adhesive, cohesive, or mixed. Data were analyzed with One-way ANOVA followed by Scheffe's tests. Results: The shear bond strength ($mean{\pm}SD$) of zirconia-veneer ceramic were JC group $13.9{\pm}3.6MPa$; JE group $17.7{\pm}2.4MPa$; JI group $15.1{\pm}2.5MPa$; LC group $9.5{\pm}1.5MPa$; LE group $16.2{\pm}2.3MPa$; LI group $12.6{\pm}0.8MPa$; ZC group $16.0{\pm}2.3MPa$; ZE group $18.5{\pm}3.4MPa$; and ZI group $15.3{\pm}3.2MPa$. The One-way ANOVA showed a significant difference between groups (p<0.05). The failure mode in most experimental groups was mixed failure, except for the LC group, which showed adhesive failure, and JE group, LE group and ZE group showed cohesive failure. Conclusion: For IPS e.max ceram, the shear bond strength value was highest for all kinds of zirconia blocks. For ICE Zirkon transluzent, the shear bond strength value was highest for all kinds of veneering ceramics. Most of experimental group interfaces revealed mixed failure mode.

Purpose: Waste parts of zirconia blocks and powders were remained after CAD/CAM process. In order to make these residual zirconia fit for practical use, zirconia single cores were produced by drain casting process. Methods: Remained zirconia blocks were reduced to powders with zirconia mortar, and screened with 180 mesh sieve. Zirconia slip was prepared from waste parts of zirconia by ball milling. Plaster molds for forming cores by slip casting were also prepared. Formed cores were removed from mold after partial drying. Dried cores were biscuit fired at $1,100^{\circ}C$ for 1hour. Biscuit fired cores were treated with tools to control the fitness and thickness. Finished cores were $2^{nd}$ fired at $1,500^{\circ}C$ for 1hour. Microstructure of cross section of core was observed by SEM. Results: When mill pot was filled with 100g of zirconia and alumina mixed powder, 300g of zirconia ball, and 180g of distilled water, the optimum slip for drain casting was obtained. Gypsum plaster for ceramic forming was more suitable then yellow stone plaster for casting process. SEM photograph showed the microstructure of fully dense with uniform grain size of zirconia and well dispersed alumina grains into the zirconia matrix. Conclusion: Zirconia single cores were produced by drain casting process. Drain casting is useful process to make these residual zirconia fit for practical use. Further study will be focused on the preparation of the bridge type cores by casting.

Purpose: The color of dental zirconia is very important in terms of aesthetics. To reproduce the color tone, a colorant is applied to zirconia to express the color tone. I would like to point out that the color, brightness, and saturation of the colorant used to express the color A3 may vary depending on the manufacturer. Methods: Each zirconia block received a total of 25 circular specimens for the experiment. The zirconia specimen was then deposited by colorant type to reproduce the color tone. Color differences and translucency were measured using a spectrophotometer. To compare and analyze the zirconia color according to the type of colorant, one-way ANOVA was used. Results: For each type of zirconia colorant, there was no statistically significant difference in translucency or b^* (p>0.05). There was a statistical difference in L^* and a^* (p<0.05). Conclusion: The ΔE^*ab (D65) value is less than 5.5 or less, and the color difference is within an acceptable range.

치과에서 수복물제작에는 지난 50년간 금속을 이용한 금속도재관이 많이 사용되어 왔다. 그러다 보니 심미적이고 생체 친화적이며 금속 알러지등의 문제로 인한 환자들의 사고의 변화에 따라서 'metal free restoration'에 대한 관심이 점점 높아지고 있다. 특히 그 동안 많이 사용되어왔던 귀금속 가격이 급등하여 더 이상 구강 내 수복 물로써 제 역할을 하는 것은 불가능하게 되었으며, PFM수복은 술자로 하여금 chipping과 파절로 인한 문제점을 안고 있다. 따라서 구치부 임플란트 수복물로써 보다 심미적이고 강도가 높은 재료의 요구로 인하여 그 어느 때보다 CAD/CAM이 주목을 받고 있다. Full zirconia 수복을 위해서 고려해야 할 사항은 1. 강도 2. 콤비네이션 작업은? 3. 빛 투과성은? 4. crack이 발생한 경우의 처치는? 5. 블럭의 색조 재현상은? 6. 대합치 마모도 7. 저온 열화 현상 등을 들 수가 있는데, 본 연구에서는 블럭의 색조 재현상에 대해서 정리하고자 한다. Full zirconia 수복을 꺼려하는 가장 커다란 이유 중에 하나가 바로 기존의 PFM 수복과 비교했을 때 자연스러운 색조를 재현하기가 어렵다는 점이며, 교합 조정 후에 컬러링한 표면이 삭제된 후 나타나는 보기 싫은 블럭의 노출로 인하여 많은 임상가들이 꺼려하고 있다. 지르코잔의 블럭을 약 4년 여 동안 사용하면서 이러한 점들은 어느 정도 극복되어질 수 있는 문제라고 여겨지며, 어떻게 하면 그 가급적 주변 보철물 또는 자연 치아와의 조화 이룰 수 있는 수복물을 만들 수 있을 것인가에 관해 정리였다.

The fit between dental implant fixture and zirconia abutment is affected by many variables during the fabrication process by CAD/CAM program and milling working. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surface compatibility and electrochemical behaviors of zirconia abutment for prosthodontics. Zirconia abutments were prepared and fabricated using zirconia block and milling machine. For stabilization of zirconia abutments, sintering was carried out at $1500^{\circ}F$ for 7 hrs. The specimens were cut and polished for gap observation. The gap between dental implant fixture and zirconia abutment was observed using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The hardness and corrosion resistance of zirconia abutments were observed with vickers hardness tester and potentiostat. The gap between dental implant fixture and zirconia abutment was $5{\sim}12{\mu}m$ for small gap, and $40{\sim}60{\mu}m$ for large gap. The hardness of zirconia surface was 1275.5 Hv and showed micro-machined scratch on the surface. The corrosion potentials of zirconia abutment/fixture was .290 mV and metal abutment/fixture was .280 mV, whereas $|E_{pit}-E_{corr}|$ of zirconia abutment/fixture (172 mV) was higher than that of metal abutment/fixture (150 mV). The corrosion morphology of metal abutment/fixture showed the many pit on the surface in compared with zirconia abutment/fixture.

Purpose: This study sought to identify changes in the mechanical characteristics and color of zirconia according to different sintering temperatures of the substance. Methods: This study processed some specimens of zirconia into those of $8mm(H){\times}10mm(W){\times}50mm(L){\pm}0.1$ each, and sintered them at $1450{\sim}1600^{\circ}C$ on a $50^{\circ}C-interval$ basis in order to examine how their mechanical characteristics and color are changed. Each specimen sintered using the spectral colorimetric apparatus (Easyshade, VITA, Germany) was observed for each of the color change by sintering temperature. Results: When those specimens were sintered at $1450{\sim}1600^{\circ}C$, they were 0% in absorption ratio and porosity, 20% in shrinkage ratio and $6.10g/cm^3$ in specific gravity. Absorption ration, porosity, shrinkage ratio and specific gravity all didn't vary depending on the sintering temperature. The fracture strength of the specimens was highest or 1037MPa at the sintering temperature of $1550^{\circ}C$ and a little lower or 989MPa at that of $1600^{\circ}C$. No variation in L* value was found depending on the sintering temperature of the specimens, while c* value was highest at that of $1450^{\circ}C$. In addition, h* value was highest when the specimens was sintered at $1550^{\circ}C$. Conclusion: This study could determine how zirconia shows changes in mechanical characteristics and color in accordance with different temperatures of its sintering. It is necessary to supplement the physical data of colored transparent zirconia block which is expected to be widely used in clinical practice.

치과 재료분야는 그 동안 많은 발전을 해왔음에도 불구하고 자연치아의 색조 재현 및, 인접 치와의 조화에 따른 심미성과 지대치와의 적합성 등에 많은 문제가 야기되어왔다. 기존 all ceramic 은 단관 제작 시 심미적인 요구가 다소 해결되었으나 bridge work 에 있어서는 그 강도 및, 작업의 효율성은 여전히 문제시되어 오고 있다. 최근 기존 Inceram의 단점을 보안한 Celay Inceram system은 spinell, alumina, zirconia Blanks를 이용하여 더욱더 기능적인 자연스러움으로 접근되어진다. 이에 그 system의 alumina blank를 이용한 bridge work 의 임상 증례를 살펴보기로 한다.

치과계에서 캐드캠이 보급되면서 본격적으로 사용한 지 15년이 넘었다. 코핑 정도의 역할에서 구치부 전부관으로 확대되었고, 최근에는 전치부에서도 많이 사용하는 추세이다. 장비의 발전도 비약적이었지만 지르코니아 블록의 발전이 가장 많이 이루어졌다. 개개인의 능력이나 경험 차에 의해 차이는 있을 수 있겠지만, 도재를 올리지 않고 지르코니아에 컬러링만으로도 얼마든지 색을 표현 할 수 있다. 또한 캐드 디자인 만으로도 표면의 질감을 표현하는 것에 우리가 알고 있는 만큼 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 디지털 치과학의 변천과정을 정리해 보고자 한다.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to find out physical properties and the flexural strength changed by the low temperature degradation of the block which is needed to make bio-prosthetic dentistry which is better than feldspar affiliated ceramic made by building up ceramic powder and also to apply this to the clinical use of zirconia monolithic all-ceramic crown. Methods: Flexural strength of each sample was evaluated before and after the Low Temperature Degradation, and physical properties of the Tetra Zirconia Block containing 3mol % was evaluated as well. The average and standard deviation of each experimental group were came out of the evaluation. Statistical package for social science 18.0 was used for statistics. Results: The average density of the monolithic all-ceramic crown was $6.0280{\pm}0.0147g/cm$, the relative density was 99.01 %. When the sample was sintered at $1480^{\circ}C$ the diameter of average particle was $396.62{\pm}33.71nm$. All the samples had no monolithic peak after XRD evaluation but only had tetragonal peak. There were statistically significant differences in the result of flexural strength of the samples evaluated after and before the low temperature degradation, the flexural strength before the low temperature degradation was $1747.40{\ss}{\acute{A}}$, at the temperature of $130^{\circ}C$ the flexural strength after the low temperature degradation was 1063.99MPa (p<0.001). There was statistically significant difference in the result of strength of 1020.07MPa after the low temperature degradation at the temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ (p<0.001). Conclusion: The block which was made for this evaluation possesses such an excellent strength among dental restorative materials that it is thought to have no problems to use for tetragonal zirconia polycrystal.
