Article Synopsis
  • The study explores how different finishing and polishing systems, along with storage conditions, affect the surface roughness and color stability of aesthetic dental composites.
  • Results indicated that polishing increased surface roughness in nanohybrid and suprananofilled composites, with nanofilled composites showing the highest roughness after immersion in coffee.
  • Suprananofilled composites demonstrated the best color stability, highlighting the importance of choosing appropriate polishing techniques and resin types for optimal aesthetic outcomes.
