The occlusion / articulation is adjusted with fine diamonds. The surfaces are finished /smoothed out using the Finisher F (light blue).
The restoration is polished with Polisher P (dark blue).

The restoration is polished to a high gloss using the high-gloss brush and the diamond
polishing paste HP.
Polishing
After the restoration has been adhesively cemented, the occlusion / articulation is adjusted with fine diamonds.
Subsequently, the restoration is manually polished in three easy steps. In order to achieve a life-like surface gloss, follow the
instructions below:
– For polishing, we recommend the high-performance, chairside diamond polishing system OptraFine.
– Always pay attention to the contact points and margins during polishing.
– Use the corresponding speed and little pressure to avoid heat development.
– Polish proximal areas and large surfaces extra-orally prior to cementation.
Step 1: Finish/smooth out the surfaces (e.g. proximal areas) using the Finisher F (speed: max. 15,000 rpm, water cooling).
This polisher smoothes out the milling grooves of the approx. 60 µm diamond of the CAD/CAM milling unit.
Step 2: Polish the restoration using the Polisher P (speed: max 15,000 rpm, water cooling).
Step 3: Polish the restoration to a high gloss using the high-gloss brush and diamond polishing paste HP (speed: max.
15,000 rpm).
