Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of one-step, two-step, and multi-step polishing systems on the
surface roughness of nanofilled and suprananofilled resin composite materials.
Materials and Methods: A total of 56 resin composite discs were prepared (divided into 2
main groups of 28 discs each, as nanofilled and suprananofilled resin composite groups, using split
Teflon mold and cured against Mylar celluloid strip. Except for control group, samples were ground
with wet 600-grit silicon carbide paper, and then subdivided into 3 groups (n = 7) in each main
group, as multi-step, two-step, and one-step polishing systems. Each polishing protocol was done
according to manufacturer’s instructions using a kitchen scale to maintain pressure of each stroke
approximately 30-40 gm. Scanning electron microscope was used to scan all samples, and the
images were subjected to Gwyddion 2.56, (An SPM data visualization and analysis tool supported
by the Czech Metrology Institute, 2020) to attain surface roughness average data, which were
statistically analysed by two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test.
Results: The suprananofill groups as well as the one-step polisher groups had the least
statistically significant surface roughness average values (p<0.001). Whereas the multi-step
polisher groups had the highest statistically significant surface roughness average values followed
by the two-step polisher, then the control groups (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The one-step polishing system produces the smoothest surface, even smoother than
setting against matrices, whereas polishing pastes produces the roughest surface. The suprananofill
resin composite can obtain a smoother surface than the nanofill resin composite.
