It has to do with adhesion in dentistry. Wetting depends on the surface property and surface tension. Wetting also is a qualitative description of contact angle. When you have a high surface tension you have low wetability, a large contact angle and low surface energy. And the opposite for a low surface tension. When two objects are very different in their energies you have less wetting such as water and wax. If metal is the solid (metal has a high surface energy) then wetting is increased.
