Dental Finishing and Polishing

What is Dental Finishing and Polishing?

Dental finishing and polishing is the final stage of composite restorations. It helps to create a seamless restoration that is smooth and easy to clean for the patient. Finishing involves the refining of the composite resin's anatomy, and polishing is the subsequent process of creating the shine on the surface of the restoration.

This step is necessary for all composite restorations as it helps to promote long-lasting results, less risk of recurrent caries or infection and healthy oral tissues. Dental finishing and polishing often involves a sequential use of instruments that have a progressive decrease in abrasiveness. This helps to flatten out any irregularities and achieve a glossy, high-shine finish.
