	abstract="{Objective: this paper compares the Vickers and Knoop microhardness testing
methods in the context of dentistry. Both methods are often used to study the effect of
various factors on the hardness of tooth tissues and to verify the parameters of new dental
filling materials. Material and methods: in this article, we compared the methodology and
applicability of these tests, as well as the results obtained for enamel and dentin. Results:
results with Vickers method were on average 20% higher. Conclusions: both methods gave
reproducible results, with a small standard deviation. Paper concerns difficulties related to
sample preparation and challenges associated with microhardness testing of tooth tissues.}",
