TLDR
The range in surfaceroughness of different intraoral hard surfaces was found to be wide, and the impact of dental treatments on the surface roughness is material-dependent.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of material characteristics and/or surface topography on biofilm development
TL;DR: This systematic review aimed to evaluate critically the impact of surface characteristics (free energy, roughness, chemistry) on the de novo biofilm formation, especially in the supragingival and to a lesser extent in the subgingival areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infectious risks for oral implants: a review of the literature
TL;DR: In order to prevent such a bacterial shift, the following measures can be considered: periodontal health in the remaining dentition (to prevent bacterial translocation), the avoidance of deepened peri-implant pockets, and the use of a relatively smooth abutment and implant surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing surface free energy and hydrophilicity through chemical modification of microstructured titanium implant surfaces
TL;DR: In this in vitro study, a novel surface modification was tested to improve the initial wettability and to retain SLA microstructure and shows increased surface free energy (SFE) and increased hydrophilicity with initial water contact angles of 0 degrees compared to 139.9 degrees for SLA.

A review on the wettability of dental implant surfaces II: Biological and clinical aspects
Rolando A. Gittens,Lutz Scheideler,Frank Rupp,Sharon L. Hyzy,Juergen Geis-Gerstorfer,Zvi Schwartz,Barbara D. Boyan +6 more
TL;DR: This review provides a general overview of the available information about the contact angle values of experimental and of marketed implant surfaces, some of the techniques used to modify surface wettability of implants, and results from in vitro and clinical studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial Adhesion on Commercially Pure Titanium and Zirconium Oxide Disks: An In Vivo Human Study
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that zirconium oxide may be a suitable material for manufacturing implant abutments with a low colonization potential and the disk surface covered by bacteria on test specimens was significantly lower than that of control specimens.

The influence of surface roughness and surface-free energy on supra- and subgingival plaque formation in man. A review of the literature.
Marc Quirynen,Curd M. L. Bollen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of surface roughness and surface free energy on supragingival plaque formation has been examined in the oral cavity and in vitro and in vivo studies underline the importance of both variables in plaque formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental gingivitis in man. II. A longitudinal clinical and bacteriological investigation.
TL;DR: It was found that mild gingivitis could be diagnosed clinically at approximately the same time as the complex flora was established and sub-clinical inflammation started much earlier, probably as a reaction to the first phases of plaque development.

The influence of abutment surface roughness on plaque accumulation and peri-implant mucositis
Curd M. L. Bollen,William Papaioanno,Johan Van Eldere,Evert Schepers,Marc Quirynen,Daniel van Steenberghe +5 more
TL;DR: The present results confirm the findings of a previous short-term study, indicating that a further reduction of the surface roughness, below a certain "threshold R(a)" (0.2 microns), has no major impact on the supra- and subgingival microbial composition.

The effect of surface roughening of polymers on measured contact angles of liquids
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of surface roughness on contact angles has been investigated on equilibrium, advancing and receding contact angles for five different liquids after various surface roughening procedures.

TL;DR: In this article, a clinical trial was conducted to explore the "relative" effect of a combination of these surface characteristics on plaque growth, and the results showed that a significant difference in plaque accumulation was only obtained when a rough surface was compared with a smooth surface.
