MELENDEZ, Diego; MAS, Janett e TAY, Lidia. Polishing systems for ceramic restorations. Literature review. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2023, vol.33, n.1, pp.68-75. Epub 31-Mar-2023. ISSN 1019-4355. http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/reh.v33i1.4437.
Polishing is an extremely important step in the workflow of ceramic restorations, after adjustment with diamond burs or stones, as it reduces the roughness of the treated surfaces. This has a positive impact on the mechanical and optical properties of the material; however, the limited literature available about this procedure makes it to be overlooked. Therefore, the aim of this article was to review the literature on the different polishing protocols for the most used ceramic restorations: Feldspathic, lithium disilicate and zirconia ceramics. Relevant aspects on mechanical polishing, surface roughness and current polishing systems for ceramics are described.
