Comparison of Streptococcus mutans adhesion to polished and glazed surfaces of three CAD/CAM ceramics: an in vitro study

The study highlights that polishing, particularly for InCoris ZI ceramics, effectively minimizes bacterial adhesion, offering a practical alternative to glazing for in-mouth restoration adjustments. By eliminating the need for laboratory processing, polishing can streamline clinical workflows and reduce chairside time, while still maintaining favorable outcomes. These findings emphasize the importance of selecting appropriate surface treatments to enhance the longevity and hygiene of ceramic restorations.
