Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how thickness, color, and polishing of ethylene-vinyl-acetate (EVA) dental materials affect their surface roughness and microbial adhesion.
- 180 EVA samples were divided into 9 groups based on these factors, then tested for surface roughness and the amount of microorganisms that could adhere to them.
- The findings showed that specific polishing techniques could reduce surface roughness, but they did not significantly impact the number of microorganisms that attached to the material.
