Experimental study of polishing systems on surface roughness and color stability of novel bulk-fill composite resins

This study demonstrated that both the polishing technique and composite resin type significantly influenced SR. SR was notably affected by the interaction between the polishing method and resin type, with the OCC system consistently producing the lowest SR values. Additionally, Charisma exhibited surface properties similar to Filtek. Variations in color change were also observed based on both the polishing method and resin type, highlighting the critical role these factors play in determining the color stability of restorative materials.
