Abstract:Aim:The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of finishing and polishing and an in-office bleaching gel on the surface roughness of single-shade (Omnichroma) and group-shade (Estelite Alpha) resin composites. Methodology: A total of ten composite disc-shaped specimens; five specimens for each material were prepared using Teflon mold (1-mm thick and 8-mm diameter). The resin composites were cured against mylar strips to produce flat smooth surface of the tested specimens. Then each disk was finish… Show more
