The Influence of One-step Polishing Systems on the Surface Roughness and Microhardness of Nanocomposites

Abstract
Clinical Relevance: One-step polishing systems exhibited similar or better surface roughness values when compared to multi-step polishing systems. In all groups, mylar-strip created surfaces showed lower microhardness values than polished surfaces. Different polishing procedures did not effect the microhardness of nanocomposites. One-step polishing systems may be a good choice for polishing nanocomposites, resulting in reduced chair time.
