Efficient and simple polishing techniques are invaluable for achieving superior aesthetics from composite resins in line with their growing popularity. A surface roughness of 0.7 pin to 1.44 Nm is enough to promote plaque accumulation whereas a well-finished and smooth surface will deter plaque and stain accumulation for a longer period of time.
