Evaluation of surface characteristics of Ti-6Al-4V and Tilite alloys used for implant abutments Avaliação das características de superfície das ligas de Ti-6Al-4V e Tilite usadas para "abutments" de implantes

The aim of this study was to evaluate surface free energy (SFE), surface roughness (SR) and surface hardness (SH) of two commercially available materials for fabricating dental implant abutments. In addition, the specimens were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to determine the surf...
