This article is part of chapter 10 of the book layers by Dr. Jordi Manauta and Dr.
Anna Salat which will be published by Quintessence books on september 2012
The aim of this step-by-step article is to show how easy is to obtain extremely shiny
composite restorations, with rich morphology and long lasting surface stability
changing just 3 times the bur in our contrangle.
Fig 11.- after the finishing stage with the bur (which I
consider to be the most important) the we start the polishing and shinnig, to do this
we switch to the goat brush and apply a 3 micron diamond paste (Shiny A,
Micerium, Italy), we spread the paste with the brush without rotation, then we start
@3,000 rpm with no water, doing really slight touches otherwise extreme heating
can happen and ruin something more than the restoration, and then @15,000 rpm
with water.
fig 12.- we repeat exactly the same steps but this time
with a 1 micron diamond paste (shiny B, Micerium, Italy)
