Abstract:Six different composites were used in the study. From each material, 40 cylinder-shaped samples were made. All samples were polymerized and polished using three different methods. To evaluate surface roughness a confocal laser microscope was used, and microhardness was determined using a universal Vickers hardness tester. The data were analysed using the one-way ANOVA test at a significance level of 0.05 for both tests. The smoothest surfaces in all groups of composites were obtained for control samples.
