Surface texture and wear characteristics of micro-hybrid and nano-hybrid resin composites under simulated frictional conditions

The goal of work was to evaluate the surface texture and wear behaviour of two resin-based composites – AP-X (micro-hybrid) and FSE (nano-hybrid), under two frictional conditions. Specimens were ...

Is Average Roughness (Ra) Enough When Measuring Surface Quality?

Being able to quantify a surface finish is both a complex and necessary task. While surface topography relates to a three-dimensional property, the most accepted surface measurement parameter is ...
