This video outlines a practical sequence for polishing resin restorations, offering insights on tools and techniques. Starting with a flex disc for initial shaping and transitioning through multi-laminated tips, rubbers, and felt discs, each step is designed to optimize results. The process includes recommendations for Komets multi-laminated tips and the Spiral Gif rubber system, emphasizing efficiency and precision. Using an electric motor is highlighted for better control, but alternatives are provided for traditional air micromotors. For final polishing, the Flex Buff felt disc combined with aluminum oxide paste ensures a superior finish. This sequence is adaptable for most clinical cases and ensures that resin restorations achieve a smooth and glossy appearance.
