Atomic force microscopy in vitro study of surface roughness and fractal character of a dental restoration composite after air-polishing
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>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 i...
