Figure 3

Surface roughness according to the polishing system (PS). Note: The figure represents, on the X axis, the PS and, on the Y axis, the surface roughness reached in Ra µm. The height of each bar represents the mean Ra (±SD) obtained for each PS. * SD = Standard Deviation. List of abbreviations for type of PS: Ap (Astropol), SSR (Super-snap Rainbow Technique Kit [Shofu]), SL (Sof-Lex Discs [4 SPS]), SL TM (Sof-LexTM Pop-On + felt disc associated to diamond paste [Diamond GlossTM]), EXL (EXL-695), FD E (FlexiDisc and Enamelize), MS (Mylar strip), P + F (Práxis TDV + felt disc associated to diamond paste [Diamond GlossTM]), SL TM + A (Sof-LexTM Pop-On + Astrobrush), E + CUP (Enhance + CUP shape Prisma Gloss paste), C (CompoSystem), CTD (Clearfil Twist Dia), P (Praxis TDV), P + A (Práxis TDV + Astrobrush), E(Enhance), POGO (PoGo), SL S (Sof-Lex Spiral Finishing & Polishing Wheels), F + F + D (Fine grit diamond burs 30μm and extra-fine diamond burs 20μm + Felt disks + diamond paste), OP (OptraPol), SL 3 (Sof-Lex Discs [3 SPS]), 12C (12 then 30 fluted carbide finishing bur), SR (Silicone rubber Kerr), OG (One Gloss), E + P (Enhance + PoGo), OC (Occlubrush), F + D (Felt disks + diamond paste), E + P (Enhance + PoGo + nanotechnology liquid polish [lasting touch]), L (Lasting Touch), F + EF (Fine then extrafine diamond finishing bur).
