Abstract

To evaluate the effect of various polishing points on surface roughness of pediatric zirconia crowns and to correlate findings with bacterial adhesion. Zirconia discs (n=40) were fabricated and divided into five groups according to point type used to roughen and polish: I (negative control [not roughened]); II (positive control [roughened]); and III-V, representing three commercially available point brands. Atomic force and scanning electron microscopy were used to assess surface roughness. The number of colony forming units were counted after biofilm formation. A statistically significant difference was found in surface roughness and bacterial adhesion between the positive control and the other four groups, with no difference between negative control and the three point groups. Surface roughness and bacterial adhesion were significantly and positively correlated. Surface roughness and bacterial adhesion in pediatric zirconia crowns were not significantly different from other materials regardless of polishing system.
