Purpose: This study aims to compare the surface roughness (SR), contact angle (CA), surface free energy (SFE), and bacterial adhesion of resin-based materials used in additive, subtractive, and conventional manufacturing techniques.
Materials And Methods: This study involved four groups of 23 specimens: Indirect conventional resin composite (ICRC), subtractively manufactured resin composite (SMRC), additively manufactured resin composite (AMRC), and soda-lime-silica glass (SLSG). One specimen per group was analyzed by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) before polishing.
Objectives: Some species of L. are popularly used to treat gastric ulcers. However, the possible healing mechanisms of the anti-ulcer activity of , which has proven antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties, are unclear.
