Abstract:
Information concerning initial pellicle forming (dental cuticle) are possible via contact-angle determination. Not only the type of the restorative material but also its surface processing (structure) influence the initial forming of the pellicle. The higher the surface energy of a material, the more complete and quicker the masking of the surface by the initial pellicle.
