Abstract

이 연구의 목적은 치과임상에서 사용되는 8종의 합착용 시멘트의 방사선불투과성을 디지털 방사선 촬영술로 평가하는 것이었다. BisCem, Clearfil SA Luting, Duolink, Maxcem Elite, Multilink Speed, Panavia F 2.0, RelyX Unicem Clicker, V-link의 8종의 재료를 5개의 원형 시편 (직경: 4 mm, 두께: 1 mm)으로 제작하였고 사람 치아의 법랑질과 상아질 시편을 1 mm 두께로 준비하여 알루미늄 스텝 웨지와 함께 촬영하였다. 관전압 70kVP, 관전류 4 mA, 노출시간 0.156초, 초첨 필름간 거리는 30 cm으로 영상판을 이용하여 촬영하였으며, ImageJ 소프트웨어를 이용하여 평균 회색조 수치를 측정하고, 이를 흡수계수로 환산한 후 검량선(calibration curve)을 이용하여 각 합착용 시멘트의 등가 알루미늄 두께를 구하였다. 합착용 시멘트의 평균 방사선불투과성은 알루미늄 두께 0.71 ~ 5.66 mm로, RelyX Unicem Clicker (0.71 mm Al)을 제외하고는 등가 알루미늄 두께 보다 높은 방사선불투과성을 보여 ISO 규격을 만족하였으며, 법랑질은 1.79 mm, 상아질은 0.19 mm 두께의 알루미늄에 해당하는 방사선불투과성을 나타내었다. This study examined the radiopacity of eight contemporary luting cements by direct digital radiography. Five disc-shaped specimens (<TEX>$5mm{\times}1mm$</TEX>) were prepared for each material tested (BisCem, Clearfil SA Luting, Duolink, Maxcem Elite, Multilink Speed, Panavia F 2.0, RelyX Unicem Clicker, V-link). The specimens were radiographed using a Kodak CS 7600 image plate (Carestream Health, Inc., Rochester, NY, USA) and an aluminum step wedge with a range of thicknesses (1.5 to 16.5 mm in 1.5 mm increments) and a 1 mm tooth used as a reference. A dental X-ray machine Kodak 2200 Intraoral X-ray System (Carestream Health, Inc., Rochester, NY, USA), operating at 70 kVp, 4 mA, 0.156 s and a source-to-sample distance of 30 cm, was used. According to international standards, the radiopacity of the specimens was compared with that of an aluminum step wedge using NIH ImageJ software (available at http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/).The data was analyzed by ANOVA and a Tukey's post hoc test. Maxcem Elite (5.66) showed the highest radiopacity of all materials, followed in order by Multilink Speed (3.87) and V-link (2.83). The radiopacity of Clearfil SA Luting (1.35), BisCem (1.33), Panavia F 2.0 (1.29) and Duolink (1.10) were between enamel (1.79) and dentin (0.19). RelyX Unicem Clicker (0.71) showed the lowest radiopacity, which was higher than that of dentin. All materials showed a radiopacity above the minimum recommended by the International Organization for Standardization and the American National Standards/American Dental Association with the exception of RelyX Unicem Clicker.
