Abstract
The surface characteristics of restoration such as surface roughness and droplet contact angle are important part for the process of bacterial adhesion. The purpose of this study is to compare plaque adhesion by measuring roughness, droplet contact angle, and amount of accumulated plaque on the surfaces of composite resins. Four kinds of composite resins, Z-100(Z1), Durafil(DF), Filtek supreme(FS), Clearfil AP X(CA) were used. Ten samples were divided into unpolished and polished group. Surface roughnesses and droplet contact angles were measured by profilometer and goniometer. Plaque weight gains are measured. The results were as follows: 1. The experimental group were rougher than the control group. Surface roughnesses were decreased in the following order; (Z1, DF, CA)>FS in the control group, and CA>Z1>(FS, DF) in the experimental group(P<0.05). 2 The control group showed larger contact angle than the experimental group. Contact angles were decreased in the following order; CA>(FS, DF, Z1) in the control group, and (CA, DF)>(FS, Z1) in the experimental group(P<0.05). 3. The experimental group showed more much plaque than the control group. The amounts of plaque accumulation in vitro were decreased in the following order; Z1>(DF, FS)>CA in the control group, and Z1>FS>(CA, DF) in the experimental group. The latter showed more much plaque than the former(P<0.05). 4. There were stronger correlation between plaque deposition and contact angle (P<0.05) than that of plaque deposition and surface roughness.
