The Journal of Korean Academy of Prosthodontics 1999;37(6):800-808
To compare several porcelains made by various manufacturers in shrinkage after firing and investigate the effect of condensation on shrinkage, specimens were prepared and the volume of each body was measured by the phase-shifting profilometry. Baseplate wax was cut by 2.5cmx2cm and cast in nonprecious metal (Verabond, U.S.A.). then any surfaces of specimens were abrased and polished on the SiC abrasing papers, preparing 120 specimens. specimens were divided into six groups according to the porcelain used, and the porcelain used in each group were as follows. Group I : Ceramco dentin porcelain Group II : Creation dentin porcelain Group III : Creation margin porcelain Group IV : Vintage margin porcelain Group V : Vita dentin porcelain Group VI : Vintage dentin porcelain Porcelain was built up on the metal plates using a small spoon and then solution matching to each porcelain was added. The six groups are subdivided into a and b. In subgroup a, only excessive solution was absorbed with tissue and in subgroup b, porcelain was condensed sufficiently. When build-up was completed, the shape was measured using the phase-shifting profilometry. After that, specimens were fired in the furnace programed for each porcelain and then their changed shape were measured again. Using the difference between the two above measurements, the ratio of shrinkage was calculated. Obtained results were as follows ; 1. Regardless of condensation, the volume of fired specimens were not different significantly between the two subgroups a and b in the same group. 2. The ratios of shrinkage were significantly higher in the groups porcelain built-up was condensed than in the groups not condensed. 3. The ratios of shrinkage were in the range of 36.81-27.19% in the groups porcelain built up was condensed and 44.52-37.54% in the other groups not condensed.

Since the first report of completely amputated thumb replantation by Tamai in 1965, replantation surgery has been popularized with increasing success rate and improving functional regain. Recently, difficult replantation such as traction avulsion amputation has been challenged and good success rate and function have been reported. We have analized 34 cases of upper extremity and finger replantation in 23 patients, which were performed at the Dept. of Orthopedic surgery. Hyun Dai Hae Seong Hospital, Ulsan, Korea, from June 1982 to January 1986. The results were as follows: 1. Male patients were 22, female was 1, left upper limbs and digits injuries were more prevalent(16: 7), and average age was 25 years old. 2. The most common injury was done by cutting machine. 3. The number of amputations of fingers were almost same in all fingers and most prevalent in zone III(26 cases, Danial classification). 4. Success rate of replantation was 82.4% In cases of less than 6 hrs ischemic time, the rate was 93.4%, and more than 6 hrs ischemic time, rate was 33.3% 5. Performing arterial anastomosis prior to venous anastomosis, can find out main draining vein, and with one vein and one artery anastomosis, can get good results distal to zone IV. 6. Functional results were satisfactory, evaluating by modified. Tamai score, average 87.5. 7. 6 cases of digital replantations distal to sublimis tendon insertion have good results functionally, cosmetically and technically easy (Tamai score 98). 8. 5 cases of traction avulsion amputations needed many additional surgery to restore function, but end results were relatively satisfactory.

Segmental Spinal Instrumentation is effective operative procedure in unstable fracture and fracture-dislocation of the thoracolumbar spine, providing rigid spinal stability and reduces needs of external support and complications. Fifty nine patients with unstable fracture and fracture-dislocation of thoracolumbar spine were treated with Harrington rod instrumentation and sublaminar wiring(31 patients) and Luque rod instrumentation with sublaminar wiring(28 patients) in Hyun Dai Hae Seong Hospital, Ulsan, Paik Hospital, Pusan from Dec. 1983 to April 1986. We have analyzed the results of treatment about two type of S.S.I. and obtained following conclusions; l. In 59 patients, T12 level injury was 17 cases, Ll level was 25 cases and so T12 and Ll involvement were 71%. 2. By Francis Denis classification, 28 cases were burst type fracture, 20 cases were fracture-dislocation type, 6 cases were seat belt type and 5 cases were wedge compression type. 3. In Harrington rod with S.S.I., initial kyphotic angle was 22.4° and postoperative angle was 7.4° and correction rate was 66.9%; in Luque rod with S.S.I., preoperative kyphotic angle was 21.7° and postoperative angle was 6.5° and correction rate 69.6%. So there was no difference of correction rate in two type of S.S.I. 4. In Harrington rod with S.S.I., the loss of reduction was 1.2° and the loss was 7%; in Luque rod with S.S.I., the loss of reduction was 7.2° and the loss rate was 48%. So the loss of reduction of Luque rod with S.S.I. was greater than that of Harrington rod with S.S.I. 5. After removal of implants, Luque rod with S.S.I. patients have better range of motion than Harrington rod with S.S.I. patients clinically, but it needs more follow-up because of a few cases(18 cases).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the stress distribution of the abutment and supporting tissues according tot he slopes and types of the guiding plane of distal extension removable partial dentures. The 3-dimensional finite element method was used and the finite element models were prepared as follows. Model I : Kratochvil type guiding plane with 90degree to residual ridge Model II : Kratochvil type guiding plane with 95degree to residual ridge Model III : Kratochvil type guiding plane with 100degree to residual ridge Model IV : Krol type guiding plane with 90degree to residual ridge Distal extension partial denture which right mandibular first and second molar were lost was used and the second premolar was prepared as primary abutment with RPI type retainer. Then 150N of compressive force was applied to central fossae of the first and second molars and von Mises stress and displacement were measured. The results were as follows : 1. Model I and Model IV showed a similar stress distribution pattern and the stress was concentrated on the apex of the root of the abutment. 2. The stress was increased and concentrated on mesial side of the root of the abutment in Model II. The stress was concentrated on buccal and mesiobuccal side of the root of the abutment in Model III. 3. In Model I, the root of the abutment displaced and twisted a little in clockwise. In Model IV, the root of the abutment displaced to distolingually at apical region of the root and mesiobucally at cervical region of the root. 4. In Model II, the root of the abutment displaced to mesiolingually at apical region of the root and more displaced and twisted in counterclockwise at cervical region of the root. In Model III, the root of the abutment displaced to mesiobucally at apical region of the root and more displaced and twisted in clockwise at cervical region of the root.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of dentin pretreatment with Dentin Conditioner,Ultra-Etch,conditioner of Fuji Plus cement on the shear bond strength of resin-reinforced glass ionomer cements to dentin and analyze the fractured surfaces. To evaluate the bond strengh, the extracted human teeth which had uniform area of exposed dentin were cemented with conventional glass ionomer cement. 3M RelyX TM Luting (Vitremer luting cement). Fuji Plus cement after dentin pretreatment. The shear bond strengh was measured using the Universal testing machine(Instron Co., USA) with a crosshead speed of 1mm/m. The effect of dentin pretreatment was evaluated by observing pretreated dentin surfaces under the scanning electron microscope,measuring the shear bond strength and observing the fractured surfaces under the scanning electron microscope. The results were as follows: On the SEM observation of surface morphology, the specimens treated with Dentin Conditioner, Ultra-Etch and conditioner of Fuji Plus cement were removed the smear layer and funneled dentinal tubules in dentin surfaces. In RelyX TM Luting cement group, shear bond strengh of pretreated group was significantly higher than control group. In Fuji Plus cement group and Fuji I group, regardless of the type of pretreatment agents, there was tendency of increase in the shear bond strength. On the SEM observation of fractured surfaces, as the shear bond strength increase, it were shown thicker cement layers and were not shown dentinal tubules. According to these results, it were shown that dentin pretreatment have much effect on bonding states.

According to repeated measurements and correction procedures, the accuracy of the phase-shifting profilometry was developed. At first, after 20 final models for maxillary complete denture were duplicated, the mucosa surfaces of models were measured with the phase-shifting profilometry and each mirror view of these was calibrated. Maxillary cats were divided into 4 groups of 5 casts per each, and wax dentures with 2 sheets of baseplate wax and artificial teeth were made and then cured according to the curing method of each group. Group I ; quick curing with QC-20 acrylic resin Group II ; 9 hour curing with QC-20 acrylic resin Group III ; SR-Ivocap system Group IV ; metal base and quick curing with QC-20 acrylic resin After curing, polishing, and storing at 37degrees C n saline for 30 days, the forms of the impression surface of the dentures were measured with the phase-shifting profilometry. Then, the impression surface form of each denture was placed in the optimal position of comparison with the mirror view of the same final cast. The amount and direction of distortion of each denture was analyzed and the effects of polishing and storage in each denture were compared. The obtained results were as follows : 1. In Group I, the denture was observed as the appearance distorted in the opposite direction of the mucosa and the postero-lateral part of palatal portion of the denture was observed as the appearance separated from the mucosa. Also, the buccal flanges of the denture were observed as the appearance distorted in the direction of the mucosa. 2. In Group II, the postero-lateral part of palatal portion of the denture was observed as the appearance separated slightly from the mucosa. The bilateral buccal flanges of denture were observed as the appearance distorted severely in the direction of the mucosa. 3. In Group III, the bilateral part of the residual ridge crest portions and the buccal flanges of the denture were observed as the appearance distorted in the direction of the mucosa, and specially, the buccal flanges of the maxillary tuberosities were distorted severely. 4. In Group IV, the acrylic resin base of the buccal portion of the denture was observed as the appearance distorted in the opposite direction of the mucosa. 5. The phase-shifting profilometry, done with repeated measurements and correction procedures, was effective in comparing the amount and direction of distortion at every position after the laboratory work and the delivery of maxillary complete denture.

Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1984;20(1):104-119
Double-outlet right ventricle is defined as follows: both great arteries arise completely or nearly completelyfrom the right ventricle; neither semilunar valve is in fibrous continuity with either atrioventricular valve; andusually a ventricular septal defect is present and the only outlet from the left ventricle. A total of 44 cases ofdouble-outlet right ventricle is analyzed, in which cineangiocardiographies were done at the Department ofRadiology, Seoul National University Hospital in recent 4 year and 6 months, with specific reference to thesegmental combinations, the height of conus the relationship of great arteries, the location of ventricular septaldefects, and associated anomalies. The resuslts were as follows; 1. Among 44 cases, 36 cases had normal cardiacposition, 4 cases had dextrocardia with situs inversus, 2 cases had dextrocardia with situs solitus, 1 case hadlevocardia with situs inversus, and another 1 case had mesocardia with situs ambiguus. 2. Segmental sets were[S.D.D] in 36 cases, [I.L.L] in 3 cases, [I.D.D] in 2 cases, [S.D.L], [S.L.L] and [A,D,D] in 1 case respectively.3. All cases had bilateral conus. Aortic valve rings were same level as pulmonary valve rings in 25 cases, lowerthan pulmonary valve rings in 17 cases in which 15 cases were type A., and higher than pulmonary valve rings in 2cases. 4. The relation of the great arteries were normal in 15 cases, side-by side in 13 cases, dextromalpositionin 13 cases, and levomal position in 3 cases. 5, The position of the ventricular septal defects with respect tothe origins of the great arteries is subaortic (type A & type B) in 23 cases, subpulmonary (type C) in 13 cases,double committed (type D) in 3 cases, and uncommitted (type E) in 5 cases. 6. Associated cardiac malformations arepulmonary stenosis in 24 which had all cases of type A and type E, aortic stenosis in 6 which were only in type C,left SVC in 6, abnormality of atrioventricular valve in 5, single coronary artery in 4, interrupted IVC in 1,obstructive VSD in 2, ASD in 4, PDA in 4, right aortic arch with levocardia in 5, and ectopic spleen withmesocardia in 1 case. 7. Biplane cinecardioangiogram must be performed in both ventricles to define the VSD andits relationship to the great arteries, and, if necessary, should also be performed in the aorta to rule outcoarctation and coronary artery abnormalities, and in the pulmonary artery to visiualize pulmonary venous returnand mitral valve. Angiography is of crucial importance in differentiating double-outlet right ventricle fromtetralogy of Fallot and complete transposition of the great arteries.
