Overview

Randomized trial compares surface roughness of composite resins after various polishing protocols, suggesting effectiveness of methods.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of different polishing protocols on surface roughness in composite resins.
  • Three composite resins were used: Charisma Topaz One, Charisma Bulk Flow One, and Estelite Asteria.
  • Three polishing protocols were applied: Super-Snap, Ultradent Diamond Polish, and Lucida Polishing Paste.
  • Surface roughness was measured using a profilometer, and images were obtained through scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
  • Significant differences in surface roughness were found among the polishing protocols (p<0.05).
  • Ultradent Diamond Polish resulted in the lowest average surface roughness compared to other protocols (Ra values reported).
  • Bonferroni test confirmed multiple comparisons, highlighting specific protocol effectiveness.
