研究室紹介
Professor Ji-Min Kim's research lab specializes in digital dentistry, with a primary focus on the accuracy, reliability, and clinical application of intraoral scanning technologies. The lab investigates how various factors—such as bracket type, interdental spacing, and oral environment—affect the precision of 3D dental impressions. Key research directions include digital shade matching, virtual occlusion validation, and comparative performance analysis of leading intraoral scanners using advanced 3D surface analysis and statistical modeling.

15PURPOSE: To assess if color measurement with intraoral scanner correlates with digital colorimeter and to evaluate the possibility of application of a digital scanner for shade selection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The L*a*b* values of the five shade tabs (A1, A2, A3, A3.5, and A4) were obtained with an intraoral scanner (TRIOS Pod) and a colorimeter (ShadeEye). Both devices were calibrated according to the manufacturer's instructions before measurements. Color measurement values were compared with
BACKGROUNDS: Despite the rapid development of digital dentistry, the use of digital intraoral scanners remains limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in views on intraoral scanners among dental hygienists after training. METHODS: Thirty-four dental hygienists with >3 years of clinical experience participated and were divided into 2 groups : iTero and Trios groups. Participants of each group practiced the usage of both intraoral scanners, for total 12 times over 4 sessions, Qu
AIM: . Four study models were prepared; bonded with ceramic, metal, and resin brackets, respectively, and without brackets. Reference images were taken by scanning the models with an industrial scanner. Study models were then applied with an artificial saliva and scanned 10 times, respectively, with the above 4 intraoral scanners. All images were converted to STL file format and analyzed with 3D analysis software. By superimposing with the reference images, mean maximum discrepancy values and me
This study aims to compare the impact of buccal and lingual brackets on the accuracy of dental arch data acquired by 4 different digital intraoral scanners. Two pairs of dental casts, one with buccal brackets and the other with lingual brackets, were used. Digital measurements of the 3D images were compared to the actual measurements of the dental models, which were considered standard values. The horizontal measurements included intercanine widths and intermolar widths. The Mann–Whitney<mml:mat
In this study, we evaluated the effects of mandibular anterior interdental space on the accuracy of intraoral scanners. Four models of mandibular arch with varying distances of anterior interdental space were analyzed; incisors were evenly spaced out between the two canines by 0 mm, 1 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm. The full arch of each model was scanned 10 times with iTero® and Trios®. The images were superimposed with those from the reference scanner (Sensable S3) and compared using Geomagic Verify. Stat
The occlusal registration of virtual models taken by intraoral scanners sometimes shows patterns which seem much different from the patients’ occlusion. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the accuracy of virtual occlusion by comparing virtual occlusal contact area with actual occlusal contact area using a plaster model in vitro. Plaster dental models, 24 sets of Class I models and 20 sets of Class II models, were divided into a Molar, Premolar, and Anterior group. The occlusal contact areas
본 연구는 학교폭력 피해경험이 가해행동에 미치는 영향을 확인하고 이 과정에서 개인적 요인인 자기통제력과 회복탄력성의 매개효과와 환경적 요인인 Wee클래스의 조절효과를 검증하여 학교폭력 피해 최소화 및 가해 예방을 위한 개입방안을 모색하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 2010 서울교육종단연구의 중1패널 3차년도 데이터를 토대로 중학교 3학년 학생 3,823명의 자료를 분석하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 학교폭력 피해경험은 가해행동에 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 이러한 관계에 자기통제력과 회복탄력성이 각각 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, Wee클래스 운영여부는 ‘학교폭력 피해경험 → 자기통제력, 회복탄력성, 학교폭력 가해행동’경로에 영향을 미치는 한편 ‘자기통제력, 회복탄력성 → 학교폭력 가해행동’경로에는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과에 기초하여 학교폭력에 대한 개인적, 환경적 개입방안을 학교사회복지적 차원에서 논하였다.
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to develop evidence-based clinical imaging guidelines to assess the proper implant location following implant surgery and identify potential complications during follow-up. METHODS: The guideline development process employed an adaptation methodology in accordance with the Korean clinical imaging guidelines (K-CIG). Core (Ovid-Medline, Ovid-Embase, National Guideline Clearinghouse, and Guideline International Network) and domestic databases (KoreaMed, KMbase, and KoM
Bone-anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) is effective for skeletal Class III malocclusion. However, infection, screw and plate loosening, and device failures occur with conventional plates. This pilot prospective study analyzed the feasibility of individualized BAMP using preoperative simulation and 3D titanium printing in patients referred by the orthodontic department for four BAMP miniplates. Preoperative cone beam computed tomography data were analyzed using CAD/CAM software to fabricate t
