Effect of Finishing Protocol on Obtaining and Maintaining Gloss in Four Nanohybrid Resin Composites

The impact of F/P strategies on gloss retention varies with the material, even within the same resin composite classification. The initial gloss level appears to be a more critical factor for long-term gloss retention than the specific F/P protocol used.

Abstract

The impact of F/P strategies on gloss retention varies with the material, even within the same resin composite classification. The initial gloss level appears to be a more critical factor for long-term gloss retention than the specific F/P protocol used.
