Abstract: | Background Surface roughness is the main factor determining bacterial adhesion, biofilm growth and plaque formation on the dental surfaces
in vivo. Air-polishing of dental surfaces removes biofilm but can also damage the surface by increasing its roughness. The
purpose of this study was to investigate the surface damage of different conditions of air-polishing performed in vitro on
a recently introduced dental restorative composite. |
