Polishing Technique for Restoratives
Once the printed restoration is post-cured, the next step would be finishing and polishing of the restoration.
This is the final phase before delivering the restoration.
The below steps will result in a beautifully polished and finished restoration:

Step 1: Smoothing the Restoration
Start by using a pink abrasive or a fine carbide lab bur to grind down the remaining sprues
from the support-removal step and to smooth out the restoration. The pink abrasive or
carbide bur are used at a low speed (about 3,000 to 4,000 rpm).

Step 2: Pre-Polish
Use a medium grit polisher, with a light and consistent pressure at 7,000-10,000 rpm, on all
surfaces of the restoration (except the intaglio surface).

Before trying the restoration in the patient’s mouth, clean it, preferably with a steamer, followed by dish soap and a toothbrush.

Step 3: Polish
Use a fine grit polisher, with a light and consistent pressure at 7,000-10,000 rpm, on all
surfaces of the restoration (except the intaglio surface).
