CAD/CAM Finishing and Polishing 

Dental porcelain polishers are tools and materials used to smooth and enhance the surface finish of dental porcelain restorations, such as crowns, veneers, and inlays. Achieving a high-quality polish on porcelain restorations is essential for aesthetics, durability, and patient comfort.

Types of Dental Porcelain Polishers

Dental porcelain polishers come in various forms, each designed for specific stages of the polishing process.

Ceramic Polishers

Function: Made from durable ceramic materials, these polishers are designed to refine the surface of porcelain restorations.
Usage: Often used after diamond polishers for further refinement and achieving a high gloss finish.
Advantages: Ceramic polishers are efficient in reducing surface roughness and are less abrasive than diamond polishers.
Rubber and Silicone Polishers
Function: These polishers are impregnated with fine polishing agents and are softer, providing a more delicate finish.
Usage: They are ideal for final polishing stages, where achieving a mirror-like shine is the goal.
Advantages: Rubber and silicone polishers are versatile and come in various shapes and grits, allowing for detailed polishing in different areas.

 Polishing Protocol

Initial Adjustment: After a restoration is placed, any necessary adjustments are made using fine-grit diamond burs.
Coarse Polishing: Diamond or ceramic polishers are used to smooth out the surface, removing any roughness left by the burs.
Intermediate Polishing: Medium-grit polishers further refine the surface, preparing it for the final polish.
Final Polishing: Fine-grit rubber or silicone polishers, along with felt discs and polishing pastes, are used to achieve a high-gloss, natural-looking finish.
