The Effect of Surface Roughness on Early In Vivo Plaque Colonization on Titanium

This study assesses in vivo the surface roughness necessary to reduce plaque colonization on titanium after 24 hours. Three groups of 16 titanium disks were assigned to 3 different polishing groups (A, B, and C). The roughness was evaluated with a laser profilometer and the morphology with a scannin...
