• Effect of material characteristics and/or surface topography on biofilm development. (2006, background): “…attachment, roughening of the surface increases the area available for adhesion by a factor 2–3, and rough surfaces are difficult to clean, resulting in a rapid re-growth of the biofilm by multiplication of remaining species, rather than by recolonization (for a review, see Quirynen & Bollen 1995).”
• A review on the wettability of dental implant surfaces II: Biological and clinical aspects. (2014, background): “On the materials side, surface roughness as well as hydrophilicity and surface free energy are known to influence bacterial adhesion [111, 112].”
