Adhesion Forces of Dextran on Dental Enamel as a Function of Contact Time and pH Value
physica status solidi (a), Volume 223, Issue 2, January 2026.Dextran exhibits sawtooth‐shaped retraction curves on dental enamel, indicating multiple interaction points. Adhesion forces increase with contact time (0.35 nN at 10 s to >1.5 nN at 120 s) and are independent of pH (pH 4.5–13). Comparisons with other surfaces show that adhesion on enamel is lower but statistically insignificant at the 0.05 level ...
