Polishing mechanism of light-initiated dental composite: Geometric optics approach

For light-initiated dental hybrid composites, reinforcing particles are much stiffer than the matrix, which makes the surface rugged after inadequate polish and favors bacterial adhesion and biofilm redevelopment. The aim of the study was to investigate the polishing mechanism via the geometric opti...
