Comparative overview of feldspathic porcelain polishing in vitro using intraoral instruments and diamond pastes.
Main Article Content
Abstract
This experimental in vitro study compares, by using a profilometer ( Surftest - III , Mitutoyo), the surface roughness of feldspathic porcelain that was abraded and then polished using different intraoral instruments like a fine grained diamond bur, ceramic polishing kits, and diamond pastes of different granulation. In the control group the samples were glazed and then polished using extraoral instruments in a dental laboratory. ANOVA tests and multiple comparison statistics were performed. The results indicate that a suitable combination of a fine-grained diamond bur, 3 rubber points (Porcelain Polishing Kit, Jota) and diamond pastes of 1 micron and 0.5 microns (Diamond Polish, Ultradent), used in that order produce less surface roughness in the porcelain samples. These findings are important because they indicate as an alternative, an intraoral polishing procedure, after abrading a ceramic restoration.
