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

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...
