Polishing is also an important step in metalworking. A sound polish not only ensures brilliant results, but also contributes to the longevity of the restoration. A highly polished surface is more resistant to deposits and makes cleaning easier. A polished surface is significantly less prone to bacterial adhesion and plaque accumulation. To achieve this excellent surface quality, special instruments are used for metal polishing. There are different tools for polishing depending on the material – precious metal, non-precious metal, model casting or titanium.
A wide variety of polishers are available for pre-polishing, polishing and high-gloss polishing, which can be selected according to requirements and the material to be polished. The correct use of these tools is crucial for the result: excessive heat generation, which could damage the material, is effectively avoided by adhering to the recommended torque.
