Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of surface roughness of oral hard materials to the threshold surface roughness for bacterial plaque retention: a review of the literature

TL;DR: 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.
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

The influence of surface roughness and surface-free energy on supra- and subgingival plaque formation in man. A review of the literature.

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

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.
