Abstract
The purpose of this work is a stereometric analysis of Ni-Cu thin films to obtain the three-dimensional (3D) microtexture surface based on atomic force microscopy (AFM). Four Ni-Cu thin films on glass and silicon substrates were prepared by a capacitively coupled RF-PECVD system with a 13.56 MHz power supply. The AFM data of the samples were stereometrically analyzed, and the surface microtexture was determined according to the definition of relevant parameters in the standards ISO 25178-2:2012 and ASME B46.1-2009. All microtexture features can be implemented in numerical programs to simulate advanced microtexture models under specific microstructure and composition conditions. The results can be used to validate theoretical models for predicting or correlating the surface parameters of nanostructures. The Ni-Cu films with 40% Cu have a more irregular surface; hence, the maximum Sq value of the as-deposited Ni-Cu films is about 81.24 μm. The core roughness height Sk is calculated as a difference between two extreme levels (maximal and minimal) of the surface core, for which Ni-Cu films with 40% Cu have a maximum value of 183.4 μm. Since the surface kurtosis (Sku) of all sample films was lower than 7, there are very small peaks or valleys on the film surface and for Ni-Cu films with 5% Cu with a value of 3.568. With increasing Cu content, the height distribution histograms of films show more uniform distributions.

Abstract
The main goal of the present work is to explore the three dimensional (3-D) atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of human teeth and investigating their micromorphology. For this purpose, 10 fresh and permanent canine teeth were selected from a group of 40-year-old men who were candidate for the experimental processes. Afterward, they were all applied for studying the morphology of their hard tissues. The tapping mode of AFM was used to characterize the surface micromorphology on the square areas of 1 μm × 1 μm (512 × 512 pts). AFM results and surface stereometric analysis indicate the relationships between the micromorphology of the surface and the structural properties of these tissues across the length scales. As can be seen, the surface of cementum has the most irregular topography (D = 2.87 ± 0.01) while the most regular topography (D = 2.43 ± 0.01) is found in dentin. Furthermore, the more and less regularity of the surface have been found in inner enamel (Sq = 26.26 nm) and dentin (Sq = 41.28 nm), respectively. Stereometric and fractal analyses give valuable information about human canine teeth via 3-D micromorphology.

Abstract
The MeX™ software is a useful tool for tridimensional data collection for surface evaluation and could be relevant to evaluate the same specimen in different phases of the study, assuming repeated measures of dental enamel roughness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of sample metallization for dental enamel roughness analysis with 3D images reconstructed using MeX™ software from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images. The influence of 74.98% (%mol/mol) argon-oxygen plasma for carbon layer removal on surface roughness of the metallized specimen was also evaluated. Dental enamel specimens were prepared for SEM analysis with and without carbon metallization using conventional or environmental modes. Argon-oxygen plasma for carbon layer removal was used and surface roughness was re-evaluated. Roughness obtained by SEM and MeX™ reconstructed images, with or without metallization, did not differ. No significant alteration on surface roughness after carbon layer removal using plasma was found. SEM baseline evaluation using conventional mode without sample preparation and in environmental mode were not comparable. Roughness of enamel 3D images reconstructed with MeX™ software from SEM images, with or without metallization was similar. The 74.98% (%mol/mol) argon-oxygen plasma removed the carbon layer with no effect on enamel roughness.

Effect of Er:YAG laser irradiation on deciduous enamel roughness and bacterial adhesion: An in vitro study. Microsc Res Tech 2019; 82:1869-1877.

Abstract
Laser irradiation has been proposed as a preventive method against dental caries since it is capable to inhibit enamel demineralization by reducing carbonate and modifying organic matter, yet it can produce significant morphological changes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of Er:YAG laser irradiation on superficial roughness of deciduous dental enamel and bacterial adhesion. Fifty-four samples of deciduous enamel were divided into three groups (n = 18 each). G1_control (nonirradiated); G2_100 (7.5 J/cm2 ) and G3_100 (12.7 J/cm2 ) were irradiated with Er:YAG laser at 7.5 and 12.7 J/cm2 , respectively, under water irrigation. Surface roughness was measured before and after irradiation using a profilometer. Afterwards, six samples per group were used to measure bacterial growth by XTT cell viability assay. Adhered bacteria were observed using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Paired t-, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Kruskal-Wallis and pairwise Mann-Whitney U tests were performed to analyze statistical differences (p < .05). Before treatment, samples showed homogenous surface roughness, and after Er:YAG laser irradiation, the surfaces showed a significant increase in roughness values (p < .05). G3_100 (12.7 J/cm2 ) showed the highest amount of Streptococcus mutans adhered (p < .05). The increase in the roughness of the tooth enamel surfaces was proportional to the energy density used; the increase in surface roughness caused by laser irradiation did not augment the adhesion of Streptococcus sanguinis; only the use of the energy density of 12.7 J/cm2 favored significantly the adhesion of S. mutans.

Abstract
Objective: To determine surface roughness caused by Er:YAG laser irradiation and its effect on the increase in bacterial adhesion. Background: Er:YAG laser was proposed as a strategic device to reduce caries by its ability to generate chemical and structural changes in tooth enamel; in turn, it produces undesirable effects on the tooth surface that could increase its roughness and allow a greater accumulation of microorganisms. Methods: Eighty-four samples of human enamel were divided into seven groups (n = 12): G1_control (no laser irradiation); G2_100/H2O, G3_200/H2O, and G4_300/H2O were irradiated with Er:YAG laser (12.7, 25.5, and 38.2 J/cm2, respectively) under water irrigation. In addition, G5_100, G6_200, and G7_300 were irradiated with the energy densities described above and no water irrigation. Surface roughness measurements were recorded before and after treatment using a profilometer. Afterward, three samples per group were incubated in a microorganism suspension for the tetrazolium salt (XTT) assay. Biofilm morphology was observed using scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscope. One-way analysis of variance and t-tests were performed for statistical analysis (p < 0.05). Results: There were no statistically significant differences in roughness values in the G5_100 group before and after treatment, but there were statistically significant differences observed in the other groups evaluated (p < 0.05). No significant differences in adhesion of both strains were detected in irradiated groups compared with G1_control. Conclusions: The increase in roughness on dental enamel surfaces was proportional to the irradiation conditions. However, the increase in surface roughness caused by Er:YAG laser irradiation did not affect Streptococcus mutans and S. sanguinis adhesion.

Abstract
Innovators conditioning protocols are emerged in permanent dentin, however for deciduous dentin the information is limited; the aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro diameter of deciduous and permanent dentinal tubules after several conditioning protocols. Eighty dentin samples were distributed in sixteen groups (n = 5 p/g) and dentin surface was conditioned as follow: G1D/G1P acid etching; G2D/G2P, self-etch adhesive; G3D/G3P, G4D/G4P, Er: YAG laser irradiation at 200 mJ-25.5 J/cm2 and 300 mJ-38.2 J/cm2 , at 10 Hz under water spray respectively; G5D/G5P, G6D/G6P, G7D/G7P, and G8D/G8P were irradiated under the same energy densities followed phosphoric acid or self-etch adhesive conditioning. The sample dentin of deciduous and permanent teeth was analyzed with scanning electron microscopy and tubule diameter was evaluated by Image Tools Scandium program. Data were subjected to one-way analysis ANOVA to compare among groups with a level of significance at p ≤ .05. For deciduous dentin, diameters were from 1.52 ± 0.32 µm in G3D to 3.88 ± 0.37 µm in G1D; narrowest and widest diameter, respectively (p < .000). While permanent dentin tubules exhibited diameters from 1.16 ± 0.16/1.19 ± 0.12 µm in G7P/G8P to 2.76 ± 0.28 µm in G6P; narrowest and widest diameter, respectively (p < .000). All dentin conditioning protocols produced more open dentin tubules (diameter size) in deciduous dentin than permanent, specific conditioning protocols are required for each tissue (deciduous or permanent dentin), since same protocol produced stronger effects on primary dentin, which is important for dental clinical success in children and adolescents.
