Finishing and polishing
The finishing can be done with multi-laminated drills or fine-grained and extra-fine diamond tips in high rotation. Spherical tips and pear-shaped or barrel tips can also be used in order to remove the coarsest excesses of the material.4 The finishing of the proximal surfaces can be done with the help of sanding strips 2mm wide.4
The ideal polishing should be done after seven days, in the nanohybrid composites the restorations were smoother making the polishing immediately but without irrigation10. Felt discs with diamond paste and flexible sequential discs (Sof-Lex Pop On 3M Sanding Disc) were used.
