Atomic force microscopy in vitro study of surface roughness and fractal character of a dental restoration composite after air-polishing

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 investig...
