The Influence of Different Polishing Systems on the Gloss and Surface Roughness of Two Distinct Nano‐Filled Composites

The type of nano-filled composite and polishing system substantially influences surface roughness and gloss. OptraGloss and Diacomp Plus Twist deliver superior surface quality, whereas Enhance and Super Snap X-Treme yield less favorable results. The Ceramage modeling agent effectively reduces surface roughness, particularly after rough polishing protocols. Tailoring polishing protocols to specific composite materials is essential to optimize esthetic and functional outcomes. Further clinical studies are warranted to validate these findings under intraoral conditions.

Abstract

The type of nano-filled composite and polishing system substantially influences surface roughness and gloss. OptraGloss and Diacomp Plus Twist deliver superior surface quality, whereas Enhance and Super Snap X-Treme yield less favorable results. The Ceramage modeling agent effectively reduces surface roughness, particularly after rough polishing protocols. Tailoring polishing protocols to specific composite materials is essential to optimize esthetic and functional outcomes. Further clinical studies are warranted to validate these findings under intraoral conditions.
