본 연구는 침수후 시간경과에 따른 교정용 레진접착제의 전단결합강도 변화를 비교연구하고 파절양상을 평가하기 위하여 시행되었다. 전전한 제1소구치를 포매하여 만든 시편에 화학중합형 레진접착제인 Concise®와 광중합형 레진접착제인 Transbond®를 이용하여 금속 브라켓을 부착하고 37C증류수에 1일, 1주일, 1개월, 3개월, 6개월 동안 침수시킨 후 전단결합강도를 측정하고 파절양상을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결혼을 얻었다. 1. 침수시간에 따른 전단결합강도 비교시 Concise군과 ransbond군 모두에서 6개월의 결합강도가 1일, 1주,1개월에 비해 유의성있게 높았으며(P<0.05) 상관검정 결과 침수시간이 증가할수록 전단결합강도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다(P<0.01). 2. Concise군과 Transbond군간의 전단결합강도 비교에서는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 3. 접착제 잔류지수를 통하여 파절양상을 비교 관찰한 결과 브라켓 기저부와 접착제 경계부에서의 탈락이 가장 많았으며 침수시간에 따른 잔류지수간에 유의한 차이는 없었다.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes of shear bond strengths and failure patterns in orthodontic resin adhesives according to the water immersion time. Metal brackets were bonded to the specimens involving the premolars with chemical-cured(Concise®) and light-cured(Transbond®) adhesives. The shear bond strength was measured on universal testing machine and the failure patterns were assessed with the adhesive remnant index(ARI) after storage in distilled water at 371C for 1 day, 1 week and 1, 3, and 6 months, respectively. The results were as follows : 1. The shear bond strengths at the 6 month in both Concise and Transbond were significantly higher than those at the 1 day, 1 week and 1 month(P <0.05). There were positive correlations between shear bond strength and water immersion time in both Concise and Transbond(P<0.01). 2. There were no significant differences in shear bond strength between Concise and Transbond. 3. The brackets were failed primarily at the bracket base-adhesive interface and there was no significant difference in the incidence of ARI scores according to the water immersion time.
