Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of radiotherapy on the surface microhardness and roughness of different bioactive restorative materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 60-disc specimens (5 mm × 2 mm) were performed in four groups (n = 15 each) from Equia Forte HT, Cention N, Activa Bioactive Restorative, and Beautifil II. Following the polishing procedure (600, 1000, 1200 grit silicon carbide papers), all specimens were irradiated at 2 Gy per fraction, five times a week for a total dose of 70 Gy in 30 fractions over 7 weeks. Before and after the irradiation, the specimens were analyzed regarding the surface roughness and microhardness. Surface morphology was also analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Kruskal-Wallis test, Wilcoxon test, and paired sample t-test were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS Significant differences were found after radiation with increased mean roughness of both Cention N (p = 0.001) and Beautifil II (p < 0.001) groups. In terms of microhardness, only the Beautifil II group showed significant differences with decreased values after radiation. There were statistically significant differences among the groups' roughness and microhardness data before and after radiotherapy (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The effect of radiotherapy might differ according to the type of the restorative material. Although results may differ for other tested materials, giomer tends to exhibit worse behaviour in terms of both surface roughness and microhardness. CLINICAL RELEVANCE In patients undergoing head and neck radiotherapy, it should be taken into consideration that the treatment process may also have negative effects on the surface properties of anti-caries restorative materials.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of 30°-angled Er:YAG laser tip and different periodontal instruments on root surface roughness and morphology in vitro. METHODS Eighteen bovine teeth root without carious lesion were decoronated from the cementoenamel junction and seperated longitidunally. A total of 36 obtained blocks were mounted in resin blocks and polished with silicon carbide papers under water irrigation. These blocks were randomly assigned into 3 treatment groups. In Group 1, 30°-angled Er:YAG laser (2.94 μm) tip was applied onto the blocks with a 20 Hz, 120 mJ energy output under water irrigation for 20 s. In Groups 2 and 3, the same treatment was applied to the blocks with new generation ultrasonic tip and conventional curette apico-coronally for 20 s with a sweeping motion. Surface roughness and morphology were evaluated before and after instrumentation with a profilometer and SEM, respectively. RESULTS After instrumentation, profilometric analysis revealed significantly higher roughness values compared to baseline in all treatment groups(p < 0.05). Laser group revealed the roughest surface morphology followed by conventional curette and new generation ultrasonic tip treatment groups (p < 0.05). In SEM analysis, irregular surfaces and crater defects were seen more frequently in the laser group. CONCLUSION Results of the study showed that the use of new generation ultrasonic tip was associated with smoother surface morphology compared to 30°-angled Er-YAG laser tip and conventional curette. Further in vitro and in vivo studies with an increased sample size are necessary to support the present study findings.

Abstract
Semiconductor films are crucial in photocatalysis applications, yet their controlled production remains challenging. Previous studies have mainly focused on deposition processes, heating rates, and doping of semiconductor oxides. In this paper, we introduce a novel method for fabricating tenorite (CuO) semiconductor films with varying precursor concentrations (0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, and 0.1 g/ml) using a dip-coating technique. We explore the impact of contact angles, 3D surface topography, and film thickness on photoactivation properties, areas with limited previous research focus. The results demonstrate that higher-concentration tenorite films (0.1 g/ml) exhibit rougher surfaces (77.3 nm), increased hydrophobicity (65.61°), improved light-harvesting ability, enhanced charge separation, and higher active oxygen output. The crystal sizes were within the range of 7.3-44.1 nm. Wettability tests show a 21.47% improvement in the 0.1 g/ml film surface under indirect sunlight compared to darkness. Transmittance rates in the 600 nm range were from 0.02 to 90.94%. The direct optical band gaps were 1.21-2.74 eV, while the indirect band gaps remained unaffected (0.9-1.11 eV). Surface morphology analysis reveals an increased presence of grains with higher concentrations. Regarding photocatalysis's impact on film morphology and copper content, SEM images reveal minimal changes in film structure, while copper content remains stable with slight variations. This suggests strong adhesion of tenorite to the film after photocatalysis. Tenorite thin films display exceptional photocatalytic efficiency, making them suitable for practical applications.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface roughness and contact angle of composite resins produced by CAD/CAM milling and three-dimensional (3D) printing for permanent restorations as well as the adhesion of S. mutans and S. sanguinis bacteria to these composites. Three CAD/CAM milling composite resins (Vita Enamic-VE, Cerasmart-CE, Lava Ultimate-LU) and three 3D printing resins (Varseo Smile Crown plus-VSC, Saremco print Crowntech-SPC, Formlabs 3B Permanent crown-FLP) were selected. Twenty samples were prepared for each group. Using a contact profilometer, the surface roughness was determined, and an optical goniometer was used to quantify the contact angle. To evaluate the bacterial adhesion, composite specimens were immersed in mucin containing artificial saliva. All samples were incubated for 24 h at 37°C in 5% CO2. CFUs were determined by counting colonies after the incubation period. Surface roughness values of test samples were the highest in the Group VSC [0.46 (0.14) µm], whereas the lowest values were found in the Group LU [0.23 (0.05) µm]. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in contact angle values (p > 0.05). The S. mutans adhesion extent on the Group SPC was statistically higher compared to all other materials with p < 0.05. For S. sanguinis, the lowest bacterial adhesion value was recorded in Group CE (3.00 × 104 CFU/ml) and statistically significant differences were found with Group VE and VSC (p < 0.05). Different digital manufacturing techniques and material compositions can affect the surface roughnesses of composite resins. All composite resin samples have hydrophobic characteristics. Microbial adhesion of the tested composite resins may be varied depending on the bacterial species. S. mutans showed much more adhesion to these materials than S. sanguinis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of aging and bleaching procedures on the color stability and surface roughness of a new single-shade composite versus multi-shade composite resins. METHODS A single-shade composite resin (Charisma Diamond One, CDO) and 3 multi-shade composite resins (Tetric NCeram, Filtek Z350 XT, Clearfil Majesty Posterior) were tested. Thirty specimens of each material were subjected to one of the aging procedures respectively: immersion in distilled water (12 days/37 °C), immersion in coffee (12 days/37 °C), or water thermocycling (10,000 cycles/5-55 °C). All specimens underwent in-office bleaching after aging. Kruskal-Wallis tests and analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis (α=0.05). RESULTS All materials exhibited a change of color (ΔE00), translucency (RTP), whiteness (WID) and surface roughness parameters (Sa,Sv) after aging and bleaching procedures. CDO showed the highest ΔE00 among all resins with the highest RTP value, regardless of the aging procedures. Immersion in coffee led to the significantly highest ∆E00 values and lowest RTP values for nearly all resins. Positive ΔWID1 (WID(bleaching)-WID(baseline)) values were found in distilled water immersion and thermocycling groups, while negative ΔWID1 values were found in the coffee immersion group for all materials. Besides, positive ΔWID2 (WID(bleaching)-WID(aging)) values were found in all aging groups for nearly all materials. All materials showed an increasing trend in Sa and Sv after bleaching. CONCLUSIONS CDO showed more pronounced discoloration than multi-shade composite resins. Although the whiteness of all resins increased after bleaching, none was completely restored in the coffee immersion group. Bleaching significantly increased the surface roughness of all materials. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Charisma Diamond One is more susceptible to discoloration, which may affect its long-term success rate. Bleaching could partially reduce the color change of the composite resins but did not return them completely to their original state. The roughness of the resins increased after bleaching, prompting dentists to repolish them after bleaching.

Abstract
Zirconia-based dental implants are in direct contact with living tissues and any improvements in their bioactivity and adhesion to the tissues are highly welcome. In this study, different ratios of barium titanate (BT) were added to 3 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (3YSZ) through conventional sintering. The laser-texturing technique was also conducted to improve the biological performance of 3YSZ ceramics. The composition and the surface of the prepared composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The roughness and surface wettability of the composites were also measured. Furthermore, MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast cells were used for the in vitro experiments. Cell viability was evaluated using a commercial resazurin-based method. Morphology and cellular adhesion were observed using SEM. Based on the results, the laser texturing and the barium titanate content influenced the surface characteristics of the prepared composites. The laser-textured 3YSZ/7 mol% BT composites showed a lower water contact angle compared to the other samples, which indicated superior surface hydrophilicity. The cell viability and cell adhesion of 3YSZ/BT composites increased with the rise in the barium titanate content and laser power. An elongated cell morphology and apatite nucleation were also observed by the BT content. Overall, the laser-treated 3YSZ/5 and 7 mol% BT composites may be promising candidates in hard tissue repair due to their good cell response.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate enamel surface integrity and time consumed during residual cement removal after bracket debonding using different adhesive removal burs with and without a dental loupe. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty human-extracted premolars were collected, cleaned, mounted, and prepared for orthodontic bracket bonding. Teeth were randomly divided into three main groups (n = 20) based on the adhesive removal method: tungsten carbide system (TC), sof-lex discs system (SD), and diamond system (DB) groups. Then, each group was subdivided into two subgroups (naked eye and magnifying loupe subgroups). The brackets were bonded and then debonded after 24 h, and the Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) was assessed. The adhesive remnants were removed by different systems, and the final polishing was performed by Silicone OneGloss. The enamel surface roughness was evaluated before bracketing (T0), after residual cement removal (T1), and finally after polishing (T2) using surface Mitutoyo SJ-210 profilometry and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to determine the Enamel Damage Index (EDI) score. The time consumed for adhesive removal was recorded in seconds. RESULTS The Kruskal Wallis test showed a statistically significant difference in roughness values at T1 compared to T2 between subgroups (p < 0.001). When comparing EDI at T1 and T2, the Kruskal-Wallis H-test showed statistically significant differences in all subgroups. The pairwise comparisons revealed that EDI scores showed a statistically significant difference at T1 and T2 between DB vs. TC and SD (p = 0.015) but not between TC vs. SD (p = 1.000), indicating the highest roughness value observed in the DB group. The time for cement removal was significantly shorter in the magnifying loupe group than in the naked eye group and was shortest with the TC group, whereas the time was the longest with the DB group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION All three systems were clinically satisfactory for residual orthodontic adhesive removal. However, TC system produced the lowest enamel roughness, while the DB system created the greatest. The polishing step created smoother surfaces regardless of the systems used for resin removal.

Abstract
While there has been significant research conducted on bacterial colonization on implant materials, with a focus on developing surface modifications to prevent the formation of bacterial biofilms, the study of Candida albicans biofilms on implantable materials is still in its infancy, despite its growing relevance in implant-associated infections. C. albicans fungal infections represent a significant clinical concern due to their severity and associated high fatality rate. Pathogenic yeasts account for an increasing proportion of implant-associated infections, since Candida spp. readily form biofilms on medical and dental device surfaces. In addition, these biofilms are highly antifungal-resistant, making it crucial to explore alternative solutions for the prevention of Candida implant-associated infections. One promising approach is to modify the surface properties of the implant, such as the wettability and topography of these substrata, to prevent the initial Candida attachment to the surface. This review summarizes recent research on the effects of surface wettability, roughness, and architecture on Candida spp. attachment to implantable materials. The nanofabrication of material surfaces are highlighted as a potential method for the prevention of Candida spp. attachment and biofilm formation on medical implant materials. Understanding the mechanisms by which Candida spp. attach to surfaces will allow such surfaces to be designed such that the incidence and severity of Candida infections in patients can be significantly reduced. Most importantly, this approach could also substantially reduce the need to use antifungals for the prevention and treatment of these infections, thereby playing a crucial role in minimizing the possibility contributing to instances of antimicrobial resistance. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this review we provide a systematic analysis of the role that surface characteristics, such as wettability, roughness, topography and architecture, play on the extent of C. albicans cells attachment that will occur on biomaterial surfaces. We show that exploiting bioinspired surfaces could significantly contribute to the prevention of antimicrobial resistance to antifungal and chemical-based preventive measures. By reducing the attachment and growth of C. albicans cells using surface structure approaches, we can decrease the need for antifungals, which are conventionally used to treat such infections.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of multidirectional brushing on the surface roughness, morphology, and bonding interface of resin-repaired CAD-CAM ceramic and composite restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twelve (N = 12) blocks (4 mm × 4 mm × 2 mm for parallel axis; 5 mm × 4 mm × 2 mm for perpendicular axis) of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar AG) and CAD-CAM resin composite (Tetric CAD, Ivoclar AG) were obtained and repaired with direct resin composite (Clearfil AP-X, Kuraray). An abrasive slurry was prepared and the brushing was performed according to each restorative material and axis of brushing (n = 6; perpendicular to repair interface and parallel to repair interface) during 3,650 cycles (240 strokes per minute) to simulate 3 years of brushing. The surface roughness (Ra) and the profile variation for each material (restoration and direct repair resin composite) were measured at the baseline condition and after brushing, and the mean roughness and presence of steps at the repair interface were evaluated through factorial analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images were taken to evaluate the surface topography of the repaired materials after brushing. RESULTS The mean roughness of the repaired CAD-CAM restorations was affected by the brushing (P < .05), mainly when evaluating the repair material and the interface (P < .05), while the restorative CAD-CAM materials presented more stable values. The profile evaluation showed higher steps at the interface when repairing lithium disilicate than for CAD-CAM resin composite. CONCLUSION Repaired CAD-CAM restorations were susceptible to wear after brushing simulation. The surface roughness of the direct resin composite was the most affected leading to step development at the interface, particularly in the repaired lithium disilicate samples. Cinical maintenance recalls and polishing protocols must be considered to enhance the longevity of such restorations.

Abstract
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is currently used in several fields, such as architecture, manufacturing, and medical applications. FDM was initially developed to produce and create prototypes, but the expense appears excessive for producing final products. Nevertheless, in this day and age, engineers have developed a low-cost 3D printer. One of the major issues with low-cost 3D printers is the low dimensional accuracy and high tolerances of the printed products. Herein, different printing parameters, i.e., layer thickness, printing speed, and raster angle, need to be investigated to enhance the surface roughness of the parts produced using FDM. Thus, the present study focuses on investigating the performance of the surface finish produced by FDM by manipulating different parameters such as layer thickness, printing speed, and raster angle. Taguchi's method, based on the L9 array for experimental design, was employed to elucidate the response variables. The sample model was developed following ISO standards, utilizing polylactic acid (PLA)-aluminum as the filament material. The analysis of variance results indicated that the layer thickness and raster angle significantly affect the surface roughness of the printed parts, with statistical P-values of 0.016 and 0.039, respectively. This enables an easy selection of the optimal printing parameters to achieve the desired surface roughness. The dimensional accuracy of the fabricated part was also evaluated. Thirteen dimensions of the part features were analyzed, and the results showed that the FDM machine exhibited good accuracy for most of the shapes, with a deviation below 5%.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the roughness, hardness, and color change of pit and fissure sealants of two commercial brands (Fluroshield ™ and Ultraseal XT ™) incorporated with nanostructured silver vanadate nanomaterial decorated with silver nanoparticles (β-AgVO3) in concentrations (0% - control, 2.5% and 5%). Material and methods Two commercial brands Fluroshield TM and Ultraseal XT ™ were used to make the samples with dimensions of 6 × 6 × 4 mm. The control group was made according to the manufacturer's instructions and in the groups with the addition of β-AgVO3, the nanomaterial was added proportionally by mass at percentages of 2.5% and 5%. Roughness properties were evaluated using a 3D Laser Confocal Microscope (n = 10), Knoop microhardness by Microdurometer (n = 10), and color change by Portable Color Spectrophotometer on the CIEDE2000 system (n = 10). Data were evaluated by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni adjustment and Tukey's mean comparison test at a 5% significance level. Results Ultraseal XT ™ sealant roughness showed a significant difference between concentrations with the highest mean for the 5% group (P = 0.010). Regarding the hardness, both sealants showed no significant difference between the groups. Fluroshield ™ sealant showed a significant difference in ΔE00 between the control-2.5% 24.93 (3.49) and control-5% 28.41 (2.58). Conclusion It may be concluded that the incorporation of β-AgVO3 influenced the increase in roughness for Ultraseal XT ™ pit and fissure sealant, did not interfere with the microhardness of both sealants, and promoted a change in the color of Fluroshield ™ sealant within clinically acceptable limits.

Abstract
The dissolution of metals, influenced by mechanical and chemical factors, plays a crucial role in various applications. Ultrasonic irradiation has been explored for its ability to enhance dissolution rates and modify surface characteristics. In this study, we investigate the dissolution of magnesium (Mg) and magnesium alloys under high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) conditions with frequency sweeping (wobbling). Our findings reveal distinct effects of cavitation and acoustic streaming on the dissolution process. For pure magnesium, ultrasonic treatment significantly increases dissolution rates compared to silent conditions. Negative frequency sweeps result in the highest dissolution rates, linked to increased cavitation activity, while positive sweeps reduce dissolution rates but maintain acoustic streaming effects. The removal of surface oxides is accelerated in all sonication conditions. Macro- and micro-roughness patterns on the surface correspond to the wobbling frequency range, with wavelengths matching the average ultrasonic frequency. However, dissolution is not uniform across the sample, and preferential attack occurs at the focal point during negative frequency sweeps. In contrast, magnesium alloys exhibit lower dissolution rates than pure Mg. The alloy's mechanical properties make it less susceptible to cavitation erosion but more sensitive to acoustic streaming-induced dissolution. Grain boundaries are preferentially attacked, revealing differences between ductile pure Mg and the harder, more cavitation-resistant, alloy. This study highlights the complex interplay between cavitation and acoustic streaming in the dissolution of magnesium and its alloys under HIFU conditions, shedding light on the limits and potential applications of this technique, particularly in microstructure analysis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The processes and methods of treating and polishing additive-manufactured (AMed) cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy clasps were assessed in vitro to determine their suitability for constant clinical use and the reduction of dental technician work. METHODS AMed Aker clasps were fabricated by selective laser sintering of approximately 50 μm Co-Cr alloy powders. After the nodules and fins on the inner surface of the AMed clasps were removed and morphological correction was performed, a dental technician manually polished the clasps as a control. Four surface treatments, barrel finishing, shot peening, and wet and dry electropolishing, were performed to obtain smooth surfaces. In addition, hybrid manufacturing, which integrates repeated laser sintering and high-speed milling for one-process molding, was added to this study. After observing the treated surfaces using SEM and Hybrid Laser Microscope (HLM) the surface roughness, fitness accuracy, and retentive forces of the treated AMed clasps were measured, and their polishing efficiencies were compared. RESULTS Similar to manual polishing, dry electropolishing yielded the smoothest surfaces in all treatments. The fitness accuracy of all clasp regions and treatment methods ranged from 80 to 140 μm, without significant differences among the treatment methods. All treated clasps showed acceptable retentive forces for clinical use, and hybrid manufacturing and wet electropolishing showed significantly higher forces. CONCLUSIONS AMed Co-Cr clasps with all surface treatments could be clinically used if additional slight manual polishing was performed; however, each processing condition should be carefully selected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies investigating thermocycling effect on surface topography and fracture toughness of resins used in digitally manufactured denture bases are few. The study aimed to assess the impact of thermocycling on surface topography and fracture toughness of materials used for digitally manufactured denture bases. METHODS Water sorption, solubility, hardness, surface roughness, and fracture toughness of both three-dimensional (3D)-printed and computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) milled specimens (n = 50) were assessed both prior to and following 2000 thermocycles, simulating 2 years of clinical aging. Surface hardness (n = 10) was measured using a Vickers hardness testing machine, surface roughness (n = 10) was determined by a contact profilometer, and fracture toughness (n = 20) was measured using the 3-point bend test, then studying the fractured surfaces was done via a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Prior to and following thermocycling, water sorption and solubility (n = 10) were assessed. Normally distributed data was tested using two-way repeated ANOVA and two-way ANOVA, while Mann Whitney U test and the Wilcoxon signed ranks test were used to analyze data that was not normally distributed (α < 0.05). RESULTS Following thermocycling, Vickers hardness and fracture toughness of both groups declined, with a significant reduction in values of the 3D-printed resin (P < .001). The 3D-printed denture base resins had a rougher surface following thermocycling with a significant difference (P < .001). The sorption and solubility of water of both materials were not affected by thermocycling. CONCLUSIONS Before and after thermocycling, milled specimens had lower surface roughness and a greater degree of hardness and fracture toughness than 3D-printed specimens. Thermocycling lowered hardness and fracture toughness, and increased surface roughness in both groups, but had no effect on water sorption and solubility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, universal single-shade resin composites have become increasingly available in the dental market. The modification of their composition can have an inadvertent effect on their physical and surface properties, and subsequently determinantal effect on their clinical function and longevity. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of different finishing and polishing (F/P) systems on surface roughness (Ra), surface gloss (GU), and Vickers microhardness (VMH) of universal single-shade RBCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four commercial RBCs were used; the universal single-shade RBCs were Omnichroma, Charisma® Diamond ONE, and Vittra APS Unique, and a conventional nanocomposite Filtek™ Z250 XT was used as a control. The 3 F/P systems were Sof-Lex™ XT, Enhance®/PoGo®, and Diacomp® Plus Twist. A total of 160 discs were used for the 3 F/P system groups for all RBCs (n = 10). After F/P, the Ra, GU, and VMH were assessed. The data were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA at p-value < 0.05. RESULTS Significant differences were found among the four RBCs and the 3 F/P systems (p < .000). Omnichroma showed the lowest Ra and acceptable GU, but the lowest VMH. Charisma showed the highest Ra, acceptable GU, and VMH. Vittra showed acceptable Ra, GU, and VMH and Filtek showed the highest GU, VMH, and acceptable Ra. CONCLUSION Although conventional nanohybrid RBC (Filtek Z250 XT) showed better GU and VMH values, the universal single-shade RBCs demonstrated comparable surface properties. The highest GU & VMH and lowest Ra were achieved by Diacomp followed by Enhance and Soflex.

Abstract
Sandblasting process is often applied to roughen the intaglio of yttria tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (YTZP) surfaces for easy and quality adhesion and micro-shear retention with dentine/resin cements. Sandblasting process parameters have shown to influence, at different scales, surface roughness, phase transformation and shear bond strength, all of which are referred, herein, as performance characteristics. This study aimed to find the parametric settings of sandblasting parameters that could simultaneously optimize these performance characteristics, hypothetically testing the probability. YTZP surfaces were sandblasted at different levels of incidence angle (IA), abrasive particle size (AP), pressure(P) and sandblasting time (ST) following the Taguchi method based on the two-level parametric process settings (L8(27)). Surface morphologies, roughness (SR), monoclinic content (MC), and shear bond strength (SS) were characterized by the SEM, average surface roughness, XRD, and shear bond strength tests, respectively. Rough surfaces containing scratches, plastic deformation streaks, micro cracks and pitting were observed. According to the Taguchi method, the same optimum sandblasting parametric setting maximized SR and MC but failed to maximize SS. Subsequently, the principal component analysis embedded in statistical machine learning was applied to find the optimum sandblasting parametric setting that maximized all the performance characteristics. The optimum sandblasting setting of IA = 45°, AP = 110 μm, ST = 20 s and P = 400 kPa predicted the maximum values of SR = 0.773 μm, MC = 36% and SS = 16.6 MPa. Analysis of variance confirmed AP and P as the most influencing parameters affecting all performance characteristics. Finally, these results provide a systematic and comprehensive route for optimizing sandblasting roughening of YTZP surfaces which can be adopted in adhesive dental and orthodontic industry.

Abstract
The nanotechnology-driven industrial revolution widely relies on metal oxide-based nanomaterial (NM). Zinc oxide (ZnO) production has rapidly increased globally due to its outstanding physical and chemical properties and versatile applications in industries including cement, rubber, paints, cosmetics, and more. Nevertheless, releasing Zn2+ ions into the environment can profoundly impact living systems and affect water-based ecosystems, including biological ones. In aquatic environments, Zn2+ ions can change water properties, directly influencing underwater ecosystems, especially fish populations. These ions can accumulate in fish tissues when fish are exposed to contaminated water and pose health risks to humans who consume them, leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and even organ damage. To address this issue, safety of ZnO NMs should be enhanced without altering their nanoscale properties, thus preventing toxic-related problems. In this study, an eco-friendly precipitation method was employed to prepare ZnO NMs. These NMs were found to reduce ZnO toxicity levels by incorporating elements such as Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba. Structural, morphological, and optical properties of synthesized NMs were thoroughly investigated. In vitro tests demonstrated potential antioxidative properties of NMs with significant effects on free radical scavenging activities. In vivo, toxicity tests were conducted using Oreochromis mossambicus fish and male Swiss Albino mice to compare toxicities of different ZnO NMs. Fish and mice exposed to these NMs exhibited biochemical changes and histological abnormalities. Notably, ZnCaO NMs demonstrated lower toxicity to fish and mice than other ZnO NMs. This was attributed to its Ca2+ ions, which could enhance body growth metabolism compared to other metals, thus improving material safety. Furthermore, whether nanomaterials' surface roughness might contribute to their increased toxicity in biological systems was investigated utilizing computer vision (CV)-based AI tools to obtain SEM images of NMs, providing valuable image-based surface morphology data that could be correlated with relevant toxicology studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this in-vitro study was to investigate the influence of the measuring devices (mechanical and optical) on the surface values Ra/Sa and Rz/Sz of different materials and machined surfaces. MATERIAL AND METHODS Mechanical (contact profilometry (CP): Perthometer S6P, Perthen Mahr, G) and optical (scanning electron microscope (SEM): Phenom, FEI, NL; confocal 3D laser scanning microscope (CLSM): VK-100, Keyence, J) measuring devices were used to determine the surface roughness Ra/Sa and Rz/Sz. Glass-ceramic (Empress, Ivoclar-Vivadent, FL), zirconia (Cercon HT, Dentsply, D), composite (Grandio, Voco, D), denture base material (Palapress, Kulzer, D) and titanium (grade 4) were investigated (n = 10 measurements) after surface finishing: sandblasting (Al2O3; 250 μm), diamond treatment (80 μm; wet), sandblasting (Al2O3; 50 μm), and polishing (grit of 4000; wet; Tegramin-25, Struers, D). STATISTICS Shapiro-Wilk, ANOVA, Bonferroni post-hoc tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS Surface characteristics Ra/Sa and Rz/Sz, which were detected with mechanical and optical measuring devices on different materials and surface finishing, showed significant (p ≤ 0.001, ANOVA) differences. Significant (p ≤ 0.045, Bonferroni) differences between CP, SEM and CLSM (line; area) were found, mainly for Ra/Sa. DISCUSSION The surface roughness on different dental materials and differently machined surfaces were influenced by the individual mechanical and optical measuring devices. Optical methods measure a significantly higher roughness value for all materials and surface finishes.

BACKGROUND Retainers are the only effective approach to prevent orthodontic relapse.

METHODS Four hundred copolyester (Essix® ACE) and 400 polyurethane (Zendura®) samples with different surface textures, smooth and rough, were stained in 4 different solutions (n = 100 per solution) over 28 days. Each of the four groups of 100 stained samples of each material was subdivided into 5 groups of 20 samples and subjected to different destaining solutions. Light transmittance and color changes were evaluated using a spectrometer and a spectrophotometer. Mean differences were compared using a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and posthoc multiple comparison tests at P = 0.05. RESULTS No significant differences in light transmittance were found between both untreated materials. Both materials were stained in a similar fashion and showed no significant differences between two materials after staining. Coffee and tea stained both materials more significantly than wine, but there was a significant difference of changes of color and light transmittance between rough and smooth surfaces during the destaining in coffee- and tea-stained samples of copolyester material. All destaining solutions were effective at removing all stains on the samples. The surface roughness of the material plays a significant role in the ability of the materials to be destained, demonstrating a more significant greater effect on cleaning rough samples for improvements in light-transmittance and greater changes in color. CONCLUSIONS This study concluded that the surface of materials plays a significant role in the material destaining and staining. In addition, the different polymers used for retainer fabrication exhibited different responses during the destaining process depending on types of stains.

Abstract
This study investigated the degree of phase transformation, surface roughness, and bond strength of zirconia immersed for various times in a 40% hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution. Non-etched sintered zirconia specimens were used as the control, while experimental groups were etched with a 40% HF solution for 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 and 320 min. In each of the control and experimental groups, five specimens for X-ray diffraction analysis, four for surface morphology and surface roughness analysis, and ten for bonding strength measurement were used. As a result, the surface roughness of zirconia increased as the application time increased during the 40% HF etching, but the bond strength between zirconia and resin cement did not increase proportionally. The phase transformation from tetragonal to monoclinic also gradually increased with application time.

Abstract
In the decades since plastic has become widely used, deep-sea areas, specifically cold seeps, have developed into plastic sinks. Cold seeps contain clean energy natural gas hydrates and act as a barrier reducing methane migration to the upper water column. However, the impacts of microplastics (MPs) on the carbon content in the cold seep remain unclear. In this study, we explored spatial changes in the MPs' carbon content (MPC) selecting the Haima cold seep (HCS) as the study area. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) For active seepage areas, the mass abundance of the MPs increases with the methane seepage strength in all water columns and sediment of strong seepage areas. It decreases with the seepage strength in the sediment cores in other areas. (2)The MPC is positively correlated with the depth of the water column in the non-seepage area, while it is negatively correlated in the sediment core. (3) The surface roughness of the MPs was greater in the middle of the water column and the sediment core at ROV1. In the high-pressure and oligotrophic cold seep, the amount and method of microbial utilization of carbon from the MPs deserve greater attention.

Abstract
High-performance polymer three-dimensional printing is becoming more popular for producing unique parts suitable for different applications. It has been utilized extensively in biomedical applications such as dental prosthetics, surgical equipment, and implants. However, the performance of the material is significantly influenced by its surface qualities, particularly in aspects of its adhesion and biocompatibility. This study involves the fabrication of PEEK specimens S1, S2, S3, and S4 with different printing parameters such as layer height of 0.10 and 0.15 mm and printing speed of 20 and 25 mm/s using a fused deposition modeling process. The surface roughness of the fabricated specimens is measured using atomic force microscopy. The results showed that the printing parameters significantly impact the surface roughness of the PEEK specimens. The surface roughness of specimen S3, printed at a layer height of 0.15 mm and a speed of 20 mm/s, has a low roughness value of 0.017 μm, which is considerable in comparison to the other specimens. In addition to the measurement of surface roughness from roughness profile, the force curve separation graph was plotted and the adhesion force values were calculated for all the specimens to determine the interlayer bonding strength.

Abstract
The effect of repeated autoclaving on the implant-abutment connection of titanium abutments from Genesis and Bredent dental implant systems is of interest to dentists. 40 screw-retained titanium implant abutments from Genesis and Bredent were divided into four groups of ten. Each implant was secured with an abutment using screws. Abutments were prepared for the first 30-minute autoclave cycle at 121°C. After the first autoclave cycle, the abutments were fitted onto their implant systems and examined under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Intra-group comparison between marginal gaps of Genesis and Bredent groups at 1st autoclave and 2nd autoclave observed statistically significant differences respectively (p<0.05). Genesis group showed highest mean values for buccal and mesial sides (2.7) and lingual and distal sides (2.8) with statistically significant differences. Marginal gap and surface roughness increased with autoclaving for both Genesis and Bredent group of implant abutment systems.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of combining mechanical (ultrasonic) and chemical cleaning (using denture cleaners) on the surface roughness of silicone or acrylic soft relining materials. The silicone soft relining material with the lowest Shore A hardness and a acrylic soft relining material routinely used in Japan were selected. Four groups were established based on type of treatment: immersion in water (W); ultrasonic cleaning in tap water (U); ultrasonic cleaning in a hypochlorous acid denture cleanser (HU); or ultrasonic cleaning in an acidic denture cleanser (AU). Following the tests, surface roughness was determined as the arithmetic mean height of the surface (Sa) and maximum height (Sz). Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Bonferroni correction for a multiple comparison. No significant difference was observed in the Sa or Sz of the silicone soft relining material between the 4 groups. Significant differences were observed in the Sa of the acrylic soft relining material between Groups W and HU (p=0.008) and between Groups W and AU (p=0.008), but no significant differences in the Sz among the 4 groups. Combining U with AU or U with HU yielded no increase in the surface roughness of the silicon soft relining material. The surface roughness of the acrylic soft relining material showed an increase, however, with the combination treatments used.

Abstract
The van der Waals interaction between colloids and nanoparticles is one of the key components to understanding particle aggregation, attachment, and assembly. While the ubiquity of anisotropic particle shapes and surface roughness is well-recognized in nanocrystalline materials, the effects of both on van der Waals forces and torques have not been adequately investigated. In this study, we develop a numerical scheme to determine the van der Waals forces and torques between cubic particles with multiple configurations and relative orientations. Our results show that the van der Waals torque due to anisotropic particle shapes is appreciable at nearly all configurations and mutual angles, outcompeting Brownian torque for various materials systems and conditions. Surface roughness enhances this particle shape effect, resulting in stronger van der Waals interactions ascribed to protrusions on the surfaces. Moreover, a scaling analysis indicates that the surface roughness alters the separation dependence of the van der Waals force and, more importantly, significantly influences the dynamics of two approaching particles. Our results clearly demonstrate that surface roughness and anisotropic shape play a crucial role in the energetics and kinetics of various particle-scale and emergent phenomena, such as crystal growth by oriented attachment, nanomaterials synthesis and assembly, mud flow rheology, as well as the deposition of natural nanocrystals within the subsurface.

Abstract
Given the decline of global salt marshes, there is a pressing need to pinpoint the key processes that limit and facilitate seed-based pioneer recruitment. Secondary seed dispersal, in the form of short-distance submerged movement, is a prerequisite for initiating pioneer establishment in adjacent tidal flats but has not been fully appreciated and understood. In this study, using a settling tube and race-track flume, seeds of four global occurring saltmarsh species were studied in terms of their settlement speed and trapping opportunity to understand how seed traits and physical settings affect submerged dispersal behavior and thus seed-based saltmarsh recruitment. Present study led to the following novel insights: 1) Seeds have density-dependent settling speeds, which are comparable to that of fine sand, but much faster than that of very fine sand and silt. Since the latter is the type of sediment commonly found in many estuaries worldwide (such as the Scheldt), seeds will typically settle faster than local sediments. A sufficiently long hydrodynamic-calm period allows slowly settling sediment to bury settled seeds, otherwise, seeds will remain uncovered if the period is short. 2) Seed trapping ratio increased linearly with surface roughness (a proxy for local topographic complexity), but this effect becomes smaller with increasing hydrodynamic intensity. Seed drag coefficient was identified as the key biotic factor contributing to interspecies variability in trapping ratio. Overall, present results suggest that submerged seed dispersal may form a primary bottleneck for salt marsh recruitment by limiting seed availability via two mechanisms: i) reduced chance of seed burial through asynchronous settling of seeds and sediment particles; ii) reduced probability of seed trapping due to encountering smooth tidal flat surfaces. This study provide mechanistic and data basis for the targeted application of biophysical models in predicting outcomes of saltmarsh recruitment and long-term maintenance, thereby informing seed-based conservation and restoration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Flexible denture base polymers have gained popularity in modern dentistry however, their biofilm formation tendency, adversely affecting the oral tissue heath, remains a concern. Consequently, this study aimed to evaluate surface roughness and biofilm formation tendency of two types of denture base resins manufactured with two techniques before and after surface coating with chlorohexidine (CHX) NPs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Acetal (AC) and Polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) resins manufactured by conventional and CAD/CAM methods were shaped into disk (10 X 10 X 1 mm). They were dipped for 8 h and 24 h in colloidal suspension prepared by mixing aqueous solution of CHX digluconate and hexa-metaphosphate (0.01 M). Surface roughness, optical density (OD) of microbial growth media and biofilm formation tendency were evaluated directly after coating. Elutes concentrations of released CHX were evaluated for 19 days using spectrophotometer. Three-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc statistical analysis were used to assess the outcomes. RESULTS AC CAD/CAM groups showed statistically significant higher roughness before and after coating (54.703 ± 4.32 and 77.58 ± 6.07 nm, respectively). All groups showed significant reduction in OD and biofilm formation tendency after surface coating even after 19 days of CHX NPs release. CONCLUSIONS Biofilm formation tendency was highly relevant to surface roughness of tested resins before coating. After CHX NPs coating all tested groups showed significant impact on microbial growth and reduction in biofilm formation tendency with no relation to surface roughness. Significant antimicrobial effect remained even after 19 days of NPs release and specimens storage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study aimed to evaluate the influence of various beverages; with and without brushing; on the surface mechanical properties of two resin composites. METHODS A total of 160 disc-shaped specimens were prepared for each of the following dental composites; nanohybrid ormocer (Admira fusion, VOCO GmbH, Cuxhaven, Germany) and nanohybrid resin composite (Grandio, VOCO GmbH, Cuxhaven, Germany). The baseline surface hardness and roughness measurements were carried out after 24 h. The composite samples were randomly distributed into one of the two groups; brushing and non-brushing, which were further divided into one of the four subgroups (n = 10); artificial saliva as control, coffee, red wine, and soft drink. In the non-brushing group, the specimens were immersed in the different beverages for five minutes three times daily for 30 days. The same procedure was done for the brushing group, in addition to brushing the specimens for five seconds. The surface hardness and roughness measurements were repeated after 30 days. One-way ANOVA and independent t-tests were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The soft drink had the most deteriorating effect and artificial saliva had the least. The change in surface properties was higher in the brushing subgroups. Grandio exhibited a higher change in surface microhardness while Admira fusion exhibited a higher change in surface roughness. CONCLUSIONS The surface properties of both dental resin composites were negatively affected by using beverages and brushing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of whitening toothpastes on the surface roughness and microhardness of human teeth. METHODOLOGY Surface roughness was estimated using the Talysurf instrument, and microhardness was estimated using the Vickers hardness tester before and after the application of whitening toothpastes on mounted extracted human teeth. RESULTS In the activated charcoal group, there was a reduction in the surface roughness from 1.21 at baseline to 1.09 at 1 month and a further reduction to 1.02 at 3 months, which was found to be statistically significant. However, no statistically significant difference in surface roughness was found in the other toothpaste groups. With respect to microhardness, all 4 whitening toothpastes showed a statistically significant reduction in microhardness after 3 months of brushing. However, the reduction was significantly higher in group 2 and in group 4 compared to the others. CONCLUSION This study showed that whitening toothpaste containing activated charcoal significantly reduced the surface roughness, whereas toothpastes with blue covarine and toothpastes containing activated charcoal significantly reduced the microhardness of the tooth. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study emphasizes the need for healthcare professionals to be aware of the potential disadvantages of whitening toothpastes and make evidence-based decisions when recommending the product to patients.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the impact of conditioning protocols, aluminum trioxide (Al2O3), Er:YAG laser (EYL), and Rosebengal (RB), on the surface roughness (Ra) and shear bond strength (SBS) of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) attached to composite restorations. METHOD Eighty PEEK discs in total were produced and then divided into four groups (n = 20). Group1:Sulfuric acid (SA), Group 2: PDT (RB), Group 3: Al2O3, Group 4 EYL, respectively. The Ra of PEEK discs was evaluated using the surface profilometer. After being luted, the discs were attached to composite resin discs. After that, samples were put to SBS testing on a Universal testing apparatus. A stereo microscope was also used to evaluate the type of breakdown. The data were analyzed using Tukey's test and one-way analysis of variance. RESULTS The SA treated group exhibited the highest Ra. Nevertheless, the RB specimens activated by PDT treatment had the lowest mean Ra score. The group that received the treatment of SA exhibited the highest average score of SBS. In contrast, specimens treated with PDT and activated by RB exhibited the lowest levels of bond fidelity. Cohesive failure emerges as the prevailing kind of fracture within the various groups subjected to testing. CONCLUSION The utilization of Al2O3, RB activated by PDT, and EYL shows promise as a viable substitute for Sulfuric acid in enhancing the bond integrity of composite cement and surface roughness in PEEK materials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine the effect of silver and silver chitosan nanocoatings on monocrystalline ceramic, polycrystalline ceramic, and metallic brackets regarding friction, roughness, and antibacterial effect against Streptococcus mutans. METHODS A total of 99 upper right premolar brackets with a 0.022 × 0.025 -inch slot were divided into three groups, each 33 according to coating material; the non-coated group, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), and silver chitosan nanoparticles (Ag-CsNPs) groups. Each group was equally subdivided into the following three subgroups regarding bracket materials: monocrystalline ceramic, polycrystalline ceramic, and metallic brackets. A universal testing machine determined static friction on a custom-made acrylic jig. Then a profilometer machine was used to collect roughness data, and finally, the anti-cariogenic effect was measured with the disc diffusion technique's "minimum zone of inhibition" against Streptococcus mutans. Two-way ANOVA was used to compare data between groups and subgroups, followed by the Bonferroni test for multiple pair-wise comparisons. RESULTS The nanocoating effect on ceramic brackets' static friction was non-significant. The AgNPs and Ag-CsNPs coated metallic group revealed a significant increase in static friction-a significant effect of the nanocoating in the surface roughness of monocrystalline and polycrystalline ceramic brackets. A significant favorable effect of AgNPs and Ag-CsNPs against Streptococcus mutans was observed. CONCLUSIONS AgNPs and Ag-CsNPs coats are unsuitable for decreasing friction in metallic brackets or improving roughness in polycrystalline ceramic brackets. Nano coating can improve roughness in monocrystalline ceramic brackets. Coating brackets with AgNPs and Ag-CsNPs has a tremendous antibacterial effect on Streptococcus mutans, a substantial factor in the incidence of dental caries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of a d-enantiomeric antibiofilm peptide (DJK-5) on the anticorrosion ability of titanium (Ti) with different surface roughness against Streptococcus mutans biofilms. METHODS Commercially pure Ti disks with machined (MA, smooth) or sandblasted + acid-etched (SLA, rough) surfaces were prepared and characterized. All disks were divided into three groups: a positive control (PC) group with S. mutans, a DJK-5-treated group, and a negative control (NC) group without S. mutans. Biofilm formation and corrosion on Ti surfaces were determined by confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy after 2 and 6 days, and the electrochemical properties were evaluated. RESULTS Ten μg/mL of DJK-5 killed 83.3 % and 87.4 % of biofilms on SLA and MA Ti surfaces, respectively after 2 days, and 72.9 % and 77.7 % after 6 days, with more bacteria surviving on SLA surfaces with higher roughness (p < 0.05). DJK-5 treatment induced less surface defects with tiny pit corrosion than PC. DJK-5 treatment when compared to PC, led to electrochemical properties more reflecting NC surfaces, including significantly less negative corrosion potential, lower corrosion current, and higher passive film resistance (p < 0.05). SLA surfaces exhibited higher current density and lower resistance than MA surfaces (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION DJK-5 effectively enhanced the corrosion resistance of Ti with different surface roughness while killing S. mutans biofilms, and smooth surfaces were more susceptible to peptide treatment. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The antibiofilm peptide is promising for promoting the anticorrosion ability of Ti against biofilms, thereby preventing biofilm-related infections.

Abstract
Appropriate choice of machining conditions contributes directly to improved performance of the machining process. Cooling and lubricating the grinding surface in the machining process has been done using different methods, but each method has its own disadvantages. A new cooling system is proposed in this research to improve the surface roughness in flat-surface grinding. The workpiece is cooled using a mixture of water and antifreeze as a coolant, without directly contacting the cutting tool. The temperature of the workpiece surface remains fixed, and grinding of the workpiece is performed. This novel method has several benefits including no oxidation of workpiece and tool surfaces, no surface hardening from rapid cooling, no chip addition to the coolant, and extended grinding capabilities without replacement. The proposed methodology was tested on four steel alloys, including hot-worked and cold-worked steel, as well as two improved alloys. The tests involved changing various parameters such as the depth of cut, surface temperature, and coolant flow-rate, to analyze how they affected surface roughness. According to the results, the proposed method was remarkably efficient for low-chromium steel alloys. The best surface roughness was obtained using the indirect cooling system for the 1.1191 steel alloy (an improved steel alloy). In general, better results (lower roughness at higher cutting depth) were achieved at higher coolant flow-rates.

Abstract
The investigation focuses on determining the effects of canola oil-based cutting fluid with three different volume percentages of boric acid additives over the machining forces and surface roughness while turning hardened AISI 1018 mild steel. Experiments were carried out under Taguchi's design of the experiment concept. The minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) technique was followed to minimize the cutting fluid consumption. The homogeneity of the additives dispersed in the fluid has been validated through a zeta potential study. Machining forces and surface roughness were considered as chief machining objectives. The hybrid mathematical model, grey relational analysis (GRA)-artificial neural network (ANN), has been implemented to assess the performance of developed cutting fluid. The results explored that the canola oil cutting fluid with 5 wt% of boric acid additive exhibits lesser cutting forces and surface roughness. The optimal machining parameters identified by the hybrid modeling are 665 rpm of cutting speed, 35 mm/min of feed rate, and 0.3 mm of depth of cut, along with 5 wt% of boric acid composition in cutting fluid. The results explore the 2.677 times improvement in machining objective in comparison with a non-optimal set of parameters. The implementation of hybrid modeling is considered to be a novel attempt to minimize the machining objectives. It has been recorded a negligible error percentage of 0.66% between GRA and ANN prediction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate different surface treatments thought to increase the bond strength between zirconia ceramic and adhesive resin cement. METHODS The samples were prepared in 15 × 10 × 2 mm dimensions by cutting off monolithic zirconia ceramic blocks (Incoris TZI; Sirona, Germany). Surface roughness measurements were made with a profilometer, the average surface roughness (Ra1) was recorded, and five different surface treatments were applied. Group 1: Control group. No surface treatment was applied. Group 2: Sandblasted with Al2O3 under pressure of 50 μm. Group 3: Sandblasted with 30 μm Al2O3 - SiOx under pressure, then tribochemical silica coating, silane bonding agent, and ceramic primer were applied. Group 4: Samples were etched in a hot acid solution containing methanol, HCl, and chloride at 100 °C. Group 5: Samples were coated in a solution containing Grade C Aluminum Nitrite at 75 °C for 15 Sects. 12,000 thermal aging was carried out to all samples. Then, samples were bonded to a composite surface (Filtek Z250) with two different types of adhesive cement (Panavia F 2.0, Rely X U200) (n = 10). A load was applied to the samples attached to the Universal Test Device for the SBS, and the SBS was recorded. The surface roughness measurements of all samples were made again, and the average surface roughness Ra2 was recorded. The data was analyzed with a two-way ANOVA test. Bonferroni correction was used for multiple comparisons of the groups. p = 0.005 was accepted as the statistically significant value. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in the Ra1 measurements (p = 0.031). There was a statistically significant difference between the Ra2 values of Groups 4 and 5 and the Ra2 values of Groups 1,2 and 3 in the Ra2 measurements (p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the SBS values of the groups (p > 0.005). Also, there was no statistically significant difference in the SBS values of all groups for the two different cements tested (p > 0.005). CONCLUSIONS None of the surface treatments applied to monolithic zirconia ceramic samples increased the SBS between ceramic and adhesive resin cement.

Abstract
The spread of bacteria through contaminated surfaces is a major issue in healthcare, food industry, and other economic sectors. The widespread use of antibiotics is not a sustainable solution in the long term due to the development of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, surfaces with antibacterial properties have the potential to be a disruptive approach to combat microbial contamination. Different methods and approaches have been studied to impart or enhance antibacterial properties on surfaces. The surface roughness and texture are inherent parameters that significantly impact the antibacterial properties of a surface. They are also directly related to the previously employed machining and treatment methods. This review article discusses the correlation between surface roughness and antibacterial properties is presented and discussed. It begins with an introduction to the concepts of surface roughness and texture, followed by a description of the most commonly utilized machining methods and surface. A thorough analysis of bacterial adhesion and growth is then presented. Finally, the most recent studies in this research area are comprehensively reviewed. The studies are sorted and classified based on the utilized machining and treatment methods, which are divided into mechanical processes, surface treatments and coatings. Through the systematic review and record of the recent advances, the authors aim to assist and promote further research in this very promising and extremely important direction, by providing a systematic review of recent advances.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the impact of simulated gastric acid on the surface properties of lithium disilicate-reinforced glass-ceramics and zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass-ceramic after certain polishing and glazing procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four different types of square-shaped specimens (10 × 10 × 2 mm3, n = 13) were manufactured: lithium disilicate-reinforced glass-ceramic milled and polished (LDS-P); milled, polished, and glazed (LDS-PG); milled, glazed, and no polishing (LDS-G); and milled and polished zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass-ceramic (ZR-LS). Specimens were immersed in hydrochloride acid (HCl 0.06 M, pH 1.2) to simulate gastric acid irritation and stored in the acid for 96 h in 37 °C. Specimen weight, surface gloss, Vickers surface microhardness and surface roughness (Ra, Rq, with optical profilometer), and surface roughness on nanometer level (Sq, Sal, Sq/Sal, Sdr, Sds with atomic force microscope) were measured before and after the acid immersion. RESULTS ZR-LS specimens lost significantly more weight after acid immersion (p = 0.001), also surface microhardness of ZR-LS was significantly reduced (p = 0.001). LDS-G and LDS-PG showed significantly lower surface roughness (Sa, Sq) values compared to LDS-P before (p ≤ 0.99) and after (p ≤ 0.99) acid immersion and ZR-LS after acid immersion (p ≤ 0.99). CONCLUSIONS Gastric acid challenge affects the surface properties of lithium disilicate-reinforced glass-ceramic and zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass-ceramic. Glazing layer provides lower surface roughness, and the glazed surface tends to smoothen after the gastric acid challenge. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Surface finish of lithium disilicate-reinforced glass-ceramic and zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass-ceramic has a clear impact on material's surface properties. Gastric acidic challenge changes surface properties but glazing seems to function as a protective barrier. Nevertheless, also glazing tends to smoothen after heavy gastric acid challenge. Glazing can be highly recommended to all glass-ceramic restorations but especially in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and eating disorders like bulimia nervosa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the current in vitro study was to evaluate the surface roughness and hardness of three brands of as-received esthetic coated NiTi archwires and compare them with the same parameters after immersion in artificial saliva. METHODS Three groups of 0.016 × 0.022 inch epoxy-coated NiTi orthodontic wires [Tooth tone coated NiTi (Ortho Technology, West Columbia, USA), EverWhite NiTi (American Orthodontics, Wisconsin, USA) and Nitanium Super Elastic Tooth Tone Plastic coated (Ortho Organizers, San Marcos, CA, USA)] were compared. Each group was subdivided into five as-received archwire specimens and five archwire specimens retrieved following immersion in artificial saliva for 28 days. Atomic force microscopy was used for analysis of average surface roughness (Sa). Hardness testing was performed using Digital Vickers hardness tester. ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used for comparing the wire groups. RESULTS The ranking of (Sa) values was as follows: Nitanium Ortho Organizers > Everwhite American Orthodontics > Tooth tone Ortho Technology (P > 0.05). Nitanium Ortho Organizers archwires showed significantly greater (Sa) than both other groups following immersion in saliva (P < 0.001). The coating hardness of as-received and post-immersion archwires from Tooth tone Ortho Technology was significantly lower than the other groups (P < 0.001). For all the three types of archwires, the mean hardness of immersed wires was significantly lower than that of the as-received archwires (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Esthetic coated archwires have shown unpleasant surface changes following exposure to artificial saliva. These surface changes are affected by physical characteristics such as surface roughness and hardness of the coating.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to assess the influence of various Er:YAG laser energies on dentin surface micromorphology and dentine-resin shear bond strength (SBS). Eighty dentin specimens were prepared and divided randomly into ten groups: control group (CG), phosphoric acid-etched group (AG), four laser-conditioned groups treated with various pulse energies of 40, 60, 80, and 100 mJ (L40, L60, L80, L100), and four laser-conditioned acid-etched groups (LA40, LA60, LA80, LA100). Two specimens from each group underwent scanning electron microscopy examination, while the remaining six were subjected to the dentin-resin SBS test. Statistical analyses included Welch's analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by post hoc Tamhane's T2 multiple comparisons test, Pearson's correlation, and Fisher's exact test. Pulse energies of 60, 80, and 100 mJ fully exposed the dentin tubule orifices, although 100 mJ lead to microcracks. Laser-conditioned surfaces exhibited smaller tubule diameters compared to acid-etched surfaces, and tubule diameters positively correlated with dentin-resin SBS. Laser-conditioned groups showed lower SBS values, while laser-conditioned acid-etched groups demonstrated higher SBS values. No significant relationship was observed between dentin surface roughness and SBS. The range of laser energies used for dentin conditioning had limited effects on SBS or failure modes. Laser conditioning with energies ranging from 40 to 100 mJ effectively removes the smear layer from the dentin surface. However, to enhance dentin-resin bond strength, further acid etching of the laser-conditioned surface is necessary.

Abstract
Background/purpose Oral biofilms are highly structured bacterial colonies embedded in a highly hydrated extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) matrix. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of oral biofilm at different stages of maturation. Materials and methods Oral multispecies biofilms were grown anaerobically from plaque bacteria on collagen coated hydroxyapatite discs in brain heart infusion broth for one and three weeks. The volume of live bacteria and EPS matrix of the biofilms were determined by using corresponding fluorescent probes and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to quantitatively probe and correlate cell surface adhesion force of biofilms. The surface roughness was quantified in terms of the root mean square average of the height deviations. Adhesion was measured from force-distance data for the retraction of the cell from the surface. Results The volume of live bacteria and EPS of 3-week-old biofilms was higher than 1-week-old biofilms. The surface roughness value in 1-week-old biofilms was significantly higher than that in 3-week-old biofilms. AFM force-distance curve results showed that the adhesion force at the cell-cell interface was significantly more at-tractive than those at bacterial cells surface of both stages biofilms. Adhesion forces between the AFM tip and the surface of bacterial cell were fairly constant, whereas the cell-cell interface experienced greater adhesion forces in the biofilm's development. Conclusion As oral biofilms become mature, EPS volume and cell-cell adhesion forces increase while the surface roughness decreases.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the influence of surface roughness of the color adjustment potential restoration of universal resin composites. A structural colored resin composite (Omnichroma, OC) and a pigment-employed universal shade resin composite (Beautifil Unishade, BU) were used. Each resin composite was placed in a cavity to determine its ability to match the color of artificial teeth. The surface of the resin composites was polished with #800- or #2000-grit SiC paper before performing color measurements. One-way analysis of variance and Tukey post hoc tests were performed (α=0.05). The color difference (ΔE*ab) ranged from 2.5-3.9 for OC and 1.8-8.7 for BU. OC has a more stable color adjustment than BU. The color adjustment potential of universal resin composites was affected by the surface roughness of the restorations.

Abstract
The aim of this in vitro study is to evaluate the bleaching efficiency of 5 different office bleaching methods and the changes in enamel morphology after bleaching. In this study, 75 human molar teeth are used. The teeth are divided in half in the mesiodistal direction, and a total of 150 enamel samples are obtained. The obtained samples are split into 3 main groups to evaluate the bleaching efficiency, surface roughness, and enamel surface hardness, and each group is composed of 50 samples. Then, each main group was divided into 5 separate subgroups (n = 10) containing 5 varied bleaching techniques. Before the bleaching, color measurement with a spectrophotometer, surface roughness with a profilometer, and microhardness measurement with Vickers test device are performed. After that, different bleaching procedures are applied to the 5 subgroups formed. As a result of the statistical evaluation, it is found that there is a significant level of bleaching in all groups (p < 0.05). In the comparison between the groups, there is no remarkable divergence in terms of hardness and roughness levels (p˃0.05). In light of the findings obtained from our study, we suggest that ozone can be used as an alternative bleaching agent to hydrogen peroxide. In addition, it is discovered that the use of light activation is not necessary to increase bleaching effectiveness. Finally, we believe that enamel surface morphology may be affected after office bleaching methods; therefore, various precautions should be taken before and after bleaching.

Abstract
In present investigation, the impact of nanoparticle concentration on the machining accomplishment of Hastelloy C-276 has been examined in turning operation. The outputs like temperature, surface roughness, chip reduction coefficient (CRC), tool wear, and friction coefficient along with angle of shear have been estimated. The graphene nanoparticles (GnP) have been blended into soybean oil in distinct weight/volume ratio of 0.5, 1 and 1.5%. The experimental observations revealed that higher concentration of nanoparticles has enhanced the heat carrying capacity of amalgamation by 12.28%, surface roughness (27.88%), Temperature (16.8%), tool wear (22.5%), CRC (17.5%), coefficient of friction (46.36%) and shear angle (15%). Scanning electron microscopy identified nose wear, abrasion, adhesion and loss of tool coating. Further, lower tool wear has been noticed at 1.5% concentration, while the complete failure of insert has been reported during 116 m/min, 0.246 mm/rev having 0.5% concentration. ANOVA results exhibited that surface roughness is highly influenced by speed rate (41.66%) trailed by feed rate (28.16%) and then after concentration (13.68%). Temperature is dominated by cutting speed (69.31%), concentration (14.53%) and feed rate (13.25%). Likewise, tool wear was majorly altered by cutting speed (67.2%) accompanied by feed rate (23.90%) and thirdly concentration of GnP (5.03%).

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effect of different bleaching methods 40% (hydrogen peroxide) HP and Zinc Phthalocyanine (ZP) activated by photodynamic therapy (PDT) with the utilization of diverse procedures of reversal (10% ascorbic acid and 6% cranberry solution) on bond values, surface microhardness and surface roughness of bleached enamel surface. MATERIAL AND METHODS An aggregate of 60 extracted human mandibular molars was gathered and the buccal surface of each specimen was exposed to 2 mm of enamel surface for bleaching with chemical and photoactivated agents with the use of reversal solutions. Specimens were divided into six groups (n = 10) at random- Group 1: samples bleached with 40% HP with 10% ascorbic acid (reversal agent), group 2: ZP activated by PDT with 10% ascorbic acid (reversal agent), group 3: 40% HP with 6% cranberry solution as a reversal agent, group 4: ZP activated by PDT with 6% cranberry solution, group 5: 40% HP and group 6: ZP activated by PDT with no reversal agents. Resin cement restoration was performed via etch and rinse technique and SBS was estimated by using the universal testing machine, SMH by using Vickers hardness tester, and Ra by stylus profilometer. Statistical analysis was executed using the ANOVA test and the Tukey multiple tests (p<0.05). RESULTS Enamel surface bleached with 40% HP reversed with 10% ascorbic acid displayed the highest SBS while 40% HP with no reversal agent use showed the least SBS. For SMH, ZP activated by PDT when applied on the enamel surface and reversed with 10% ascorbic acid showed the highest SMH while when bleached with 40% HP and reversed with 6% cranberry solution showed the least SMH value. For Ra, Group 3: samples bleached with 40% HP with 6% cranberry solution as reversal agent showed the highest Ra value while bleaching of enamel surface with ZP activated by PDT with 6% cranberry displayed the least Ra value. CONCLUSION Bleached enamel surface with Zinc Phthalocyanine activated by PDT with the application of 10% ascorbic acid as reversal solution has demonstrated the highest SBS and SMH with acceptable surface roughness for bonding adhesive resin to the enamel surface.

Abstract
Flowable composite resins are materials available for restorations in pediatric dentistry. However, these materials are subject to dangerous effects in the oral environment caused by acids that deteriorate and increase their roughness. Therefore it is important to evaluate the effect of different industrialized acid beverages on the roughness of flowable composite resins. An in vitro experimental study, was done using a convenience sample of 132 discs of 5 mm diameter by 2 mm depth of four flowable materials (FF (Filtek™ Z350 XT Flowable), TNF (Tetric® N-Flow), PF (PermaFlo®) and GF (Grandio® Flow)) exposed to three beverages (CC (Coca-Cola), AJ (apple juice), and FM (fermented milk)) and incubated at 37 ºC for 0, 15 and 30 days. The roughness (average roughness (Ra) and maximum height of profile (Rz) parameters) was measured at different intervals of time with a profilometer. For the data analysis, one-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) and repeated measures analysis of variance (Repeated measures ANOVA) tests were applied (p < 0.05). In the roughness test before immersion, no differences were observed within the groups, with maximum roughness values for Filtek™ Z350 XT Flowable and minimum for PermaFlo®. However, at 15 and 30 days of immersion, the groups showed significant differences depending on the immersion drink, except Grandio® Flow in apple juice and fermented milk. The flowable materials studied presented specific behaviors according to the immersion period and drink used. The Filtek™ Z350 XT Flowable showed a similar increase in surface roughness independently of the drink used. Grandio® Flow was the most stable material against surface roughness changes after beverage immersion.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to demonstrate changes in the surface roughness and microhardness of three different restorative materials routinely used in pediatric dentistry (composite, compomer and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMCIS)) in response to continuous daily exposure to gastric acid. Twelve samples of each of type of restorative material were prepared. Eleven of the specimens were included in the gastric acid cycle. The microhardness and surface roughness of ten samples were measured before and after the cycle. Another sample included in the cycle was compared with the sample not included in the cycle by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). There was a significant difference between the groups in terms of roughness scores following gastric acid cycle (p = 0.039). RMCIS material possessed the highest roughness value. A significant difference was identified in terms of microhardness levels before and after the gastric acid cycle (p = 0.001). The most significant change was observed in the compomer material. SEM analysis, performed after the gastric acid cycle, revealed that most cracks were identified in RMCIS material; this was followed by compomer and composite materials, respectively. Our analysis indicates that the restorative materials used frequently in pediatric dental procedures, show increased surface roughness and reduced microhardness when exposed to gastric acid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of traditional and whitening toothpastes on the color and surface roughness of different composite resin materials. METHODS Eighty disc-shaped samples were prepared for each of the following composite resins: nano-hybrid (Filtek Ultimate Universal; 3 M/ESPE, Saint Paul, USA), micro-hybrid (Charisma Smart; Kulzer, Hanau, Germany) and supra-nano-filled (Omnichroma; Tokuyama, Tokyo, Japan). Each composite-resin sample was randomly divided into the following four subgroups (n = 20 per group): Group 1, control; Group 2, traditional toothpaste (Colgate Total 12; Colgate Palmolive, New York, USA); Group 3, peroxide-based toothpaste (Colgate Optic White; Colgate-Palmolive, New York, USA); and Group 4, blue covarine-based toothpaste (Meridol Gentle White; CP-GABA, Hamburg, Germany). The samples for the toothpaste subgroups were immersed in a coffee solution for 10 min and washed twice a day before each brushing cycle. The specimens were brushed for 30 days. Color analyses were performed using a spectrophotometer (SpectroShade Micro, MHT, Italy). Surface roughness analyses were conducted using a profilometer (Surftest SJ-210 Mitutoyo, Tokyo, Japon). The color and surface roughness analyses were performed at baseline and 1, 7 and 30 days after each treatment. Furthermore, surface topography analysis was performed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (FEG 250-FeiQuanta, the Netherlands). The data were analysed with a three-way robust ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc correction (p < 0.05). RESULTS The smallest color change was observed for the micro-hybrid composite resin, and the greatest color change was observed for the nano-hybrid composite resin. Based on the tested composite resin samples, the greatest color change was obtained after using blue covarine-based toothpaste, while the smallest color change was observed after using peroxide-based toothpaste. Moreover, the supra-nano-filled composite resin samples exhibited the lowest roughness values (robust ANOVA test, p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the mean values of roughness for the composite, group and time interaction (p = 0.937). CONCLUSION Charisma Smart composite resin exhibited significantly lower staining than all the other composite resins tested after using all toothpastes included in the study. Further laboratory and clinical studies are needed to fully understand the long-term effectiveness of whitening toothpaste on composite resin materials.

Abstract
PURPOSE To understand the effects of long-term deposition of tear film components on the surface and optical properties of orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses, two different lenses, Brighten 22 and Optimum Extra, were tested here. METHODS Ortho-k lenses were immersed in artificial tears and cleaned with a commercial care solution repeatedly for up to 90 days. Both the daily and accumulated lysozyme deposition amounts using an Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay were then analyzed. The base curve, central thickness, power, and transmission of visible light, ultraviolet A, and ultraviolet B were analyzed before and after repeated tear film component deposition procedures. The surface roughness using atomic force microscopy was observed and an energy dispersive spectrometer was used to analyze the composition of the deposits. RESULTS The highest levels of lysozyme were adsorbed on both lens materials during the first four days of the procedure and became saturated by day 6. For both lens materials, contamination on the lenses was easily observed by day 30, and the degree of surface roughness was higher. The transmission levels of different light spectrums were reduced showing that the optical characteristics of both lenses were also affected. CONCLUSIONS The results provide in vitro evidence that lysozyme could not be completely removed from orthokeratology lenses. Both surface and optical properties were affected by the deposition of tear film components. However, only one commercial multipurpose care solution was used to clean the lens in this study when the main ingredient was a surfactant, and the results might be different when other care regimens with other key ingredients are used. In addition, whether tear film component deposition might result in increased risks of infection or corneal abrasion will require further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluating various polishing methods after bracket debonding and excessive attachment material removal for different ceramics and pretreatments. MATERIAL AND METHODS Zirconia (ZrO2), leucite (LEU) and lithium disilicate (LiSi) specimens were pretreated with a) silica coated alumina particles (CoJet); LEU and LiSi additionally with b) hydrofluoric acid (HF), c) Monobond Etch&Prime (MEP), d) silicium carbide grinder (SiC) before bracket bonding, shearing off, ARI evaluation, excessive attachment material removal and polishing with i) Sof-Lex Discs (Soflex), ii) polishing paste (Paste), iii) polishing set (Set). Before/after polishing surface roughness (Ra) was measured with a profilometer. Martens hardness parameter were also assessed. RESULTS Irrespective of pretreatment Ra of LEU increased the most, followed by LiSi and ZrO2 (p < 0.001, SiC: p = 0.012), in accordance with the measured Martens hardness parameter. CoJet/SiC caused greater roughness as HF/MEP (p < 0.001). The ZrO2 surface was rougher after polishing with Paste/Set (p < 0.001; p = 0.047). Ra improved in the LEU/CoJet, LEU/SiC and LiSi/SiC groups with Soflex/Set (p < 0.001), in the LiSi/CoJet and LEU/HF groups by Soflex (p = 0.003, p < 0.001) and worsened by Paste (p = 0.017, p < 0.001). Polishing of HF or MEP pretreated LiSi with Set increased Ra (p = 0.001, p < 0.001), so did Paste in the LEU/MEP group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Paste couldn't improve the surfaces. Soflex was the only method decreasing Ra on rough surfaces and not causing roughness worsening. Polishing of LEU/LiSi after MEP, LEU after HF pretreatment doesn´t seem to have any benefit. CLINICAL RELEVANCE To avoid long-term damage to ceramic restorations, special attention should be paid to the polishing method after orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the current study is to assess the surface roughness of several recent nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) rotary endodontic instruments, namely: Protaper next (PTN); Hyflex CM (CM); Hyflex EDM (EDM); WaveOne gold (WOG); and trunatomy (TN), before and after application of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) irrigant solution. METHODS In this in vitro study, five recently introduced rotary endodontic instruments of different metallurgical properties and designs were subjected to Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) analysis, and then each file was rotated in 5.25% NaOCl for 15 min., with speed and torque according to manufacturer's instructions. The instruments were then subjected to AFM analysis again. The surface roughness average (Sa) parameter was calculated. Data were analyzed by Paired T test, One-way ANOVA and Tukey tests. RESULTS There was a statistically significant decrease in the surface roughness of all rotary endodontic instruments after immersion in irrigants (P ≤ 0.05). CONCLUSION The new TN and PTN instruments showed the least surface roughness. All tested Ni-Ti rotary endodontic instruments after irrigants exposure showed a varying increase in surface roughness.
