Abstract

Fiber reinforced composite (FRC) is usually used as a connector joining a few teeth into one unit in orthodontics. However, fracture often occurs during the two to three years of the orthodontic treatment period due to repeated occlusal loading or water sorption in the oral environment. We simulated the repair by overlapping and attaching portions of two FRC strips in the middle and performed a three-point bending test to investigate the changes of the repair strength among the different FRC groups. The specimens were grouped according to the overlapping lengths of the two FRC strips, which were 1, 2, 3 and 4 mm (group E1, E2, E3 and E4, respectively) and the control group consisted of unrepaired, intact FRC strips. Each group consisted of 6 specimens and were cured with a light emitting diode curing unit. Group E4 showed the highest maximum loads of 2.67 N, then the control group (2.39 N), group E3 (2.35 N), E2 (2.10 N), and E1 (1.75 N) in decreasing order. Group E4 also showed the highest stiffness, which was 2.32 N/mm, however, the stiffness of group E3 (2.06N/mm) was higher than that of the control group (1.88 N/mm). According to the visual examination, the specimens tended to be bent rather than being fractured into two pieces with an increased length of overlapping portions. The above results suggest that a minimum overlapping length of 3 mm was necessary to obtain an adequate repair of a 10 mm length of FRC connector. In addition, the critical section adjacent to the joint area, where the thickness decreased abruptly, should be reinforced with flowable resin to minimize the bending tendency.

교정 치료 시 사용되는 섬유 강화 컴포지트(FRC, fiber reinforced composite)는 구강 내에서 저작압 등의 지속적인 응력과 수분 흡수 등의 이유로 파절이 일어나는 경우가 있다. 이 때 모든 FRC를 제거하지 않고 수리(repair)하는 경우에 적절한 강도를 얻기 위해 첨가해야 할 FRC의 양 및 그 파절 양상을 알아보고자 하였다. 두 개의 FRC strips를 1, 2, 3, 그리고 4mm 만큼 겹쳐(E1, E2, E3, E4군) 시편을 만드는 방법으로 수리를 재현한 후 light emitting diode 광중합기로 중합하고, 3점 굽힘 실험을 시행하여 겹침 길이와 접합 강도간의 관계에 대해 조사하였다. 최대 하중치는 E4군에서 2.67N으로 최대였고, 대조군(2.39N), E3군(2.35N), E2군(2.10N), 그리고 E1군(1.75N)의 순이었다. 강성 역시 최대 하중치와 같이 E4군(2.32 N/mm)에서 최대치를 기록하였으나, E3군(2.06N/mm)의 강성이 대조군(1.88N/mm)보다 더 큰 값을 보였다. 겹침 길이가 길수록 완전히 두 조각으로 파절되기 보다 가운데 또는 critical section 에서 굽힘 양상을 보였다. 반면 겹침 길이가 짧은 경우 두 조각으로 부러지는 파절 양상을 보였다. 이상의 실험에서 길이 10 mm인 연결자 형태의 FRC의 수리 시 적절한 강도를 얻기 위해서는 최소 3 mm의 strips를 겹쳐야 하고, 이 때 주로 나타나는 실패 양상인 굽힘을 최소화하기 위해 연결 부위에 바로 인접하여 두께가 급격하게 변하는 critical section의 보강이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
