Surface Roughness and <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> Adhesion on Metallic and Ceramic Fixed Prosthodontic Materials after Scaling

The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface roughness of fixed prosthodontic materials after polishing or roughening with a stainless steel curette or ultrasonic scaler and to examine the effect of these on <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> adhesion and biofilm accumulation. Thirty speci...

description The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface roughness of fixed prosthodontic materials after polishing or roughening with a stainless steel curette or ultrasonic scaler and to examine the effect of these on <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> adhesion and biofilm accumulation. Thirty specimens (10 × 10 × 3 mm<sup>3</sup>) of zirconia (Zr), pressed lithium disilicate (LDS-Press), milled lithium disilicate glazed (LDS-Glaze), titanium grade V (Ti) and cobalt-chromium (CoCr) were divided into three groups (n = 10) according to surface treatment: polished (C), roughened with stainless steel curette (SC), roughened with ultrasonic scaler (US). Surface roughness values (Sa, Sq) were measured with a spinning disc confocal microscope, and contact angles and surface free energy (SFE) were measured with a contact angle meter. The specimens were covered with sterilized human saliva and immersed into <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> suspensions for bacterial adhesion. The biofilm was allowed to form for 24 h. Sa values were in the range of 0.008–0.139 µm depending on the material and surface treatment. Curette and ultrasonic scaling increased the surface roughness in LDS-Glaze (<i>p</i> < 0.05), Ti (<i>p</i> < 0.01) and CoCr (<i>p</i> < 0.001), however, surface roughness did not affect bacterial adhesion. Zr C and US had a higher bacterial adhesion percentage compared to LDS-Glaze C and US (<i>p</i> = 0.03). There were no differences between study materials in terms of biofilm accumulation.
