Pre-polishing
Smooth out the surface (convex areas) of the natural structures as well as the marginal ridges with rubber
polishers and silicone polishing wheels so that they exhibit an extra lustre after high-gloss polishing.
Pre-polishing is done with the handpiece/goat hair brushes and fine pumice/Universal Polishing Paste.
High-gloss polishing
– Polish the restoration to a high gloss using goat hair brushes, cotton or leather buffing wheels as well
as the Universal Polishing Paste.
– Use low speed and limited pressure for high-gloss polishing. Adjust the pressure with the handpiece,
not the polishing motor.
– Modify the goat hair brush to become star-shaped in order to optimally polish the interdental areas
and occlusal surfaces. Given the smaller size brush, only the desired areas are polished.
– Depending on the type of high gloss desired, leather buffing wheels can be used to achieve a high
shine, while cotton buffs are used to achieve a lower degree of lustre.
Polish the restoration using customary polishers, such as rubber polishers and silicone wheels.
