연구 목적: 본 연구에서는CAD/CAM (computer-aided design / computer-aided manufacturing) 시스템으로 제작된LAVA (3M ESPE, Seefeld, Germany) 3-unit bridge와 통상적인 방법으로 제작된 PFG 3-unit bridge의 변연 적합도를 비교 분석해 보고자 한다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 레진치를 전부 도재관을 위한 삭제를 시행하고 인상 채득하여 레진 모형 (Exakto-form model resin, Bredent, Senden, Germany)을군당10개씩 제작하였다. 레진 모형의 인상을 채득하여 석고 모형을 제작하고 PFG, LAVA 3-unit bridge를 10개씩 제작하였다. 제작된 bridge를 레진 모형에 접착하고 실체 현미경(Stereoscopic microscope, Nikon DS-Fi 1, Nikon, Japan)을 사용하여 각 치아당 4점에서 변연 적합도를 측정하였다 (${ imes}75$). 측정된 결과는 independent t-test로 통계 분석하였다 (${alpha}$ = 0.05). 결과: 각 군에서 변연 적합도의 평균과 표준편차는 PFG bridge 중절치에서는 $97.1{pm}18.7;{mu}m$, 견치에서는 $76.6{pm}21.8;{mu}m$, LAVA bridge 중절치에서는 $90.4{pm}26.7;{mu}m$, 견치에서는$110.2{pm}30.2;{mu}m$ 이었다. PFG 3-unit bridge와LAVA 3-unit bridge에서 중절치에서는 통계적 유의성이 없었고, 견치에서는LAVA의 변연 간격이 큰 것으로 나타났다 (P<.05). 결론: PFG 3-unit bridge와 LAVA 3-unit bridge 두 군 모두 임상적으로 받아들여질 만한 변연 적합도를 보였다.
The purpose of this study was to assess the marginal fit of three-unit bridges produced using LAVA CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) system and conventional PFG in vitro. Materials and methods: #11, 13 resin teeth were prepared on dentiform, then duplicated. Twenty resin models were fabricated, ten for PFG 3-unit bridges and ten for LAVA 3-unit bridges. Each bridge was cemented on the resin model. Marginal discrepancy was measured with stereoscopic microscope (Nikon DS-Fi 1, Nikon, Japan) at a magnification of ${ imes}75$. Independent t-test was done for the statistical analysis. Results: The mean marginal discrepancy values and standard deviations of the PFG bridges was $97.1{pm}18.7;{mu}m$ for incisors, $76.6{pm}21.8;{mu}m$ for canines; that of the LAVA bridges was $90.4{pm}26.7;{mu}m$ for incisor, $110.2{pm}30.2;{mu}m$ for canines. The mean marginal discrepancy between PFG and LAVA for incisor did not show significant difference (P<.05). But for canine, the mean marginal discrepancy of PFG bridges was smaller than that of LAVA bridges (P<.05). Conclusion: The LAVA CAD/CAM 3-unit bridges and the PFG 3-unit bridges showed clinically acceptable marginal discrepancy.
