This study was performed to investigate the factors related to tooth wear. For this study, 78 patients with temporomandibular disorders and 76 dental students without any signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders were selected as the patients group and as the normal group, respectively. Preferred chewing side, Angle's classification, lateral guidance pattern, head and shoulder posture wee observed clinically. Electromyographic activity of anterior temporalis and masseter muscle were recorded with BioEMG and occlusal status were recorded with T-Scan . Wear facet area of each tooth was measured from working model of upper arch corresponding to the occlusal status from T-Scan, Wear facet area were measured with planimeter in mm2. Total area were divided into incisal, canine, posterior tooth area. Anterior wearfacet area was incisor area plus canine area, and unilateral area was anterior area plus posterior area. The data collected were analyzed by SAS statistical program and the results of this study were as follows: 1. There was no significant difference between the two groups in total werafacet area, and male subjects showed tendency to have larger area in the normal group but female subjects showed tendency vice versa. 2. There was no significant difference related to preferred chewing side and Angle's classification, however, some difference was observed by lateral guidance pattern. Anterior wear facet area in subjects of canine guidance was the largest in the three subgroups. 3. Subjects with head tilting to right side had larger posterior and total area, and subjects with higher shoulder in right side had larger canine and anterior area than any other subgrous. 4. Electromyographic activity of masseter muscle was more correlated with wear facet area than anterior temporalis muscle, and tooth contact number and force were significantly correlated with wear facet area, but the most important factor affecting tooth attrition was age.

From June, 1988 to Feb, 1989 a total of 47 cases of percutaneous mitral valve balloon valvuloplasty(PMV) and 4 cases of aortic valve balloon valvuloplasty(PAV) were done at the Guro Hospital of the Korea University. Among these patients first 18 patients of PMV are the subjects of this study. 1) Among a total of 28 patients,10 patients were male and 18 patients were female patients. The age of the patients were between 21 and 59 years with the mean age of 40.9+/-12.2 Aortic Valve ; Atrial Fibrillation ; Balloon Valvuloplasty* ; Blood Pressure ; Cardiac Output ; Cardiac Tamponade ; Catheters ; Drainage ; Electrocardiography ; Embolism ; Female ; Humans ; Korea ; Male ; Middle Cerebral Artery ; Mitral Valve Insufficiency ; Mitral Valve Stenosis* ; Mitral Valve* ; Sepsis ; Thrombosis ; Vascular Resistance

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Removable partial denture and complete denture often require denture base relines to improve the fit against the tissue-bearing mucosa because of gradual changes in edentulous ridge contours and resorption of underlying bone structure. PURPOSE: This study was performed to investigate the effect of surface design on bond strength of relining denture base resins to denture base acrylic resin. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Heat curing resin(Lucitone 199, Dentsply U.S.A. and Vertex, Dentimex, Holland), self curing resin(Tokuso rebase, Tokuyama, Japan), and visible light curing resin(Triad, Dentsply, U.S.A.) were used in this study. The surface designs were classified as butt, bevel and rabbet joint and the bond strengths were measured by Universial Testing Machine(Zwick Z020, Zwick Co., Germany). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The obtained results from this study were as follows; 1. The bond strength of Vertex resin was higher than those of Tokuso rebase and Triad. 2. The bond strength of rabbet and bevel joint was higher than that of butt joint. 3. The failure mode of Triad and Tokuso rebase was mainly adhesive, but cohesive failure was shown mainly in vertex.
