3D Surface Roughness of glazed vs. polished e.max CAD

 
3D surface roughness of glazed e.max CAD. Vertical scale is 220 microns, 10X greater than polished surfaces.  The surface roughness is very evident in the excessive quantity of peaks and valleys.(DeOliveira, August. "I Like Big Abutments and I …
