Method for the Clinical Evaluation of Enamel Polish

O. P. STURZENBERGER 1, B. B. BEISWANGER 1, and J. D. KING 1

Enamel polish of 600 children was scored. The method used is simple and comprises a visual comparison of the facial surfaces of incisors with a polish standard prepared by selectively polishing extracted teeth. Examiners with little experience can distinguish degrees of enamel polish. A high-polish dentifrice produced significantly greater enamel polish during the 27-month study. A "polish" with flour of pumice at the beginning of the study did not influence this enamel polish.
