Effectiveness of Finishing and Polishing on the Surface Roughness of Nanofilled Composite- A Clinical Study
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Dental composite resins have certain properties that will benefit patients according to the patient's cavity. The present study evaluated the effect of various finishing and polishing procedures on the surface roughness of nanofilled composite. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 45 recently restored composite teeth. All restorations were divided into 3 groups depending upon finishing and polishing systems. Group I had Shofu finishing and polishing kit, group II had Sof-Lex composite finishing and polishing kit and group III had Mylar Strips. Results: The mean value of surface roughness in group I was 0.72, in group II was 0.58 and in group III was 0.36. The difference was significant (P- 0.01). The mean value of surface roughness in group I was 0.78, in group II was 0.66 and in group III was 0.40. The difference was significant (P- 0.01). Conclusion: Mylar strip provided the smoothest surfaces followed by Sof-Lex followed by Shofu. The surface texture for the composite improved significantly when sealant is applied after finishing and polishing procedures.
