Proper finishing of restorations is desirable not only for esthetic considerations but also for oral health. The primary goal of finishing is to obtain a restoration which has ideal contour, occlusion, healthy embrasure forms and surface smoothness. Finishing and polishing procedures remove the air-inhibited layer, contour and shape the restoration, create surface characterization and produce surfaces with high gloss. Tight margins should blend esthetically into the tooth’s natural contours. Healthy embrasure forms and smooth surfaces are less likely to trap food debris and collect plaque. Several factors can affect the final finish of a restoration: the resin matrix and fillers within the restorative material, finishing instruments and preparation design.
