CONCLUSION
Within the limitations of the study, the following conclusions are obtained:
• Mylar strip produced the smoothest of all the finishing and polishing systems. All finishing/polishing procedures decreased the smoothness obtained with matrix strips and resulted in Ra values above the threshold value of 0.3 μm.
• The effect of finishing/polishing systems on surface roughness was material dependent.
• For Esthet-X composite, PoGo provided significantly smoother surface than Super Snap.
• For Solitaire II composite, no significant differences in surface roughness were observed between PoGo and Super Snap.
• Surface finish of minifill-hybrid composite (Esthet-X) was significantly better than packable composite (Solitaire II) when PoGo polishing system was used.
• No significant difference was present in surface roughness between both the materials when Super Snap system was used.
• Considering the reduced steps, application time and the elimination of cross-infection risks, one-step polishing systems may be preferred for polishing resin composites.
