The finishing touches on a dental restoration can mean the difference between a smiling patient and one who leaves the operatory dissatisfied. When placing direct composite restorations, polishing the material to achieve a lifelike luster is the goal and using a specialized composite polishing system can help make this happen. Using rotary polishing tools, these systems allow you to finish and polish the restoration quickly and effectively. Most systems feature an array of polisher shapes for use on different surfaces of the tooth and restoration, and some systems have different levels of coarseness available for a multi-step polishing procedure. Find a polishing system that is comfortable to use and achieves the finished results you and your patients are looking for.
