EFFECT OF THREE FINISHING AND POLISHING SYSTEMS ON THE SURFACE OF NANOFILLED COMPOSITE RESIN. A NOVEL RESEARCH APPROACH

Dr. Konark, Dr. Anju Singh

Abstract


Background: The aims of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of three nishing and polishing
systems on the surface of nanolled composite, and to evaluate the effect of the surface sealant
application (prime & bond) on the surface roughness after nishing and polishing procedures of tested composite.
Material and Method: A total of 60 composite discs of dimension 6 x 3 mm (6mm in diameter x 3mm in thickness) were made
using a custom made stainless steel mould and then randomly divided into 3 subgroups for nishing and polishing by three
different methods; Sof-Lex, Shofu and Mylar strip. The average surface roughness (Ra,
