Part 2 of the ultimate guide to polishing CAD/CAM restorations

With this approach, Renfert relies on a practice-oriented concept: fewer products, more precision - and, above all, measurable results.

The result:

• Efficient polishing procedures with reproducible high -luster quality
• Optimal material preservation thanks to coordinated grinding and polishing components
• Clearly defined system solution instead of trial and error

• Renfert Polish ZrO₂: Especially developed for the high mechanical requirements of zirconium oxide
• Renfert Polish LiSi₂: Perfectly adapted to the complex requirements of lithium disilicate
• Renfert Polish hybrid materials: Designed specifically for the complex material properties and processing requirements of hybrid ceramics
• Opal L: Developed especially for the efficient and gentle polishing of all common veneering resins
• Renfert Universal Polierpaste: Ideal for high luster polishing of PMMA resins and denture resins

The efficiency of Renfert polishing pastes has been proved by extensive studies and practical applications. For example, in tests with Vita Enamic, Renfert Polish hybrid materials achieved impressive gloss values of more than 120 GU with the lowest spread of values in the measurement results.

Advantages at a glance:

•   Short polishing time thanks to efficient and controlled abrasion
• Less polishing steps with enhanced surface results
• Long-term cost savings thanks to optimized use of materials and increased service life
• Reproducible results without the need for extensive work-in periods

Polishing quality has a significant influence on the long-term stability, functionality and esthetics of modern restorations.  Precise high luster polishing increases the surface stability, significantly reduces antagonist wear and effectively inhibits plaque build-up.  

By using suitable tools and material-specific polishing pastes, this work step can be performed not only efficiently but also reliably and consistently - regardless of the user's level of experience. Investing in a well-conceived, specialized polishing system pays off in several ways: in the form of shorter processing times, consistently high-quality clinical results and a lasting boost in patient satisfaction.
