The surface roughness and gloss of composites

W. J. O'Brien, W. M. Johnston, F. Fanian and S. Lambert

The contrast gloss and the average roughness were measured for four commercial composite filling materials. Using a factorial design, each material was subjected to four available finishing methods. A significant difference was found in the contrast gloss among finishing methods, and a significant linear regression is given which relates the inverse of the contrast gloss to the average roughness. Surface gloss is proposed as playing a major role in the esthetic appearance of composite restorations.
