폴리카보네이트 브라켓 부착 시 결합강도 증진을 위한 표면처리 효과 = The Effect of Surface Treatment on Bond Strength of Polycarbonate Bracket

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 폴리카보네이트 브라켓 부착 시 표면처리가 결합강도를 증진시키는지 알아보고자 시행되었다. 소의 하악 중절치를 포매하여 만든 100개의 시편에 광중합형 레진 접착제를 이용하여 폴리카보네이트 브라켓(Alice, 광명 데이콤, 대한민국)을 부착하였다. 대조군의 경우, 표면처리 없이 부착한 반면, 실험군의 경우 샌드블라스팅 처리한 경우, plastic conditioner 처리하여 부착한 경우, 그리고 샌드블라스팅과 함께 plastic conditioner 처리한 경우로 구분하여 접착하였다. 만능시험기를 이용하여 전단결합강도를 측정하고 파절양상을 비교 분석한 결과, plastic conditioner나 샌드블라스팅으로 표면처리를 시행한 경우 표면처리를 시행하지 않은 경우에 비해 높은 결합강도를 보였다 (p＜0.001). 샌드블라스팅과 Plastic conditioner를 모두 처리한 경우는 샌드블라스팅만이나 plastic conditioner만 처리한 경우보다 높은 결합강도를 보였으며, 특히 샌드블라스팅만 처리한 경우에 비해서는 통계적 유의차를 보였다 (p＜0.05). 이상의 연구결과는 폴리카보네이트 브라켓 부착 시 결합강도 증진을 위해서 베이스의 표면처리가 필요하며 샌드블라스팅 후 plastic conditioner 도포가 가장 효과적임을 보여주었다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the bond strength of polycarbonate brackets can be increased through surface treatment. Methods: One hundred polycarbonate brackets (Alice) were bonded to bovine incisors with light-cured adhesive. The bracket bases were treated with one of three methods; sandblasting, plastic conditioner application, and combined treatment with sandblasting and plastic conditioner. The brackets without any surface treatment served as the control. The shear bond strength was tested with a universal testing machine, and failure pattern was assessed with the adhesive remnant index. Results: The shear bond strength in all experimental groups was higher than that of the control group (p＜0.001). The group treated with plastic conditioner after sandblasting showed statistically higher shear bond strength than the sandblasting only group (p＜0.05). The group treated with plastic conditioner after sandblasting showed higher shear bond strength than plastic conditioner only group, but the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The above results suggest that the surface treatments of polycarbonate bracket is mandatory to improve bond strength, and the most effective method is an application of plastic conditioner after sandblasting.
