Effective finishing and polishing of dental restorations not only result in optimal aesthetics
but also provide for acceptable oral health of soft tissues and marginal integrity of the …

Objective To describe the effect of the composites' composition to produce high surface
smoothness/gloss using finishers/polishers, and to assess maintained smoothness/gloss …

Objectives To investigate a set of resin-composites and the effect of their composition on
polymerization shrinkage strain and strain kinetics, shrinkage stress and the apparent elastic …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of different finishing
and polishing techniques on the surface roughness and color stability of nanocomposites …

Background: Surface quality of dental restorations is one of the important factors that
determine the success of the restoration. Unfortunately, exterior discoloration is still a …
