SURFACE SMOOTHNESS OF A SELF-POLISHING COMPOSITE WITH TWO DIFFERENT POLISHING SYSTEMS

View through CrossRef
Aim: To determine the surface smoothness of a self-polishing composite, Solare Sculpt using two polishing systems. Methodology: Thirty composite discs of Solar Sculpt, a nanohybrid composite were prepared and allocated into three groups consisting of ten specimens for each group. Group A(control group) consisted of specimens which did not receive nishing and polishing. Group B and group C specimens were nished and polished using SofLex and SuperSnap respectively. Surface roughness (Ra) was estimated by using prolometer, and results were analyzed by oneway ANOVA and Tukey's multiple post hoc analysis. Results: Polishing with SofLex discs resulted in a mean surface roughness, Ra of 0.54 and Super Snap discs resulted 0.80. The unpolished group exhibited highest surface roughness and SofLex polishing system resulted in signicantly smoother surface than Super Snap polishing system. Conclusion: SofLex group exhibited best polish when compared with Super Snap. Both polishing systems resulted in a signicant improvement in surface smoothness of nanohybrid composite.
