Abstract

Finishing and polishing are the important steps in any restorative procedures; they make the surface of a restoration smooth and shiny, thus reducing the chances of plaque accumulation, which may lead to gingival inflammation and secondary caries. ‘Finishing’ means removal of surface irregularities, in order to transform an object from rough to a refined form. Polishing can be defined as creating a surface layer which can reflect light as well as enamel surface. The main objectives of finishing and polishing are obtain desired anatomy, proper occlusion, and to reduce surface roughness and scratches.
