Predictability of Microbial Adhesion to Dental Materials by Roughness Parameters

Predictability of Microbial Adhesion to Dental Materials by Roughness Parameters

Microbial adhesion to intraoral biomaterials is associated with surface roughness. For the prevention of oral pathologies, smooth surfaces with little biofilm formation are required. Ideally, appropriate roughness parameters make microbial adhesion predictable. Although a multitude of parameters are...
