Abstract

Background:  Increasing environmental concerns and public demands for tooth coloured materials have heralded patients to demand the replacement of traditional metallic restorations by more esthetic & biocompatible materials. Search for an ideal esthetic material for restoring teeth has resulted significant improvement in both esthetic material and technique for using them.Composite resins have become the material of choice in both the anterior and posterior restorations considering the esthetics. However, among some of the problems associated with using resin composite restorations is surface roughness. Finishing and polishing procedures are essential to avoiding secondary caries, periodontal integrity, marginal integrity and wear reduction and contribute to longevity of the restoration by preventing the plaque accumulation on the surface of the restoration.Various improved finishing and polishing systems are available in market for the same purpose. But as an astute clinician one needs to evaluate the various polishing systems available to conclude their efficiency and results. The present study evaluates the efficiency three different finishing and polishing systems for composite resins.
