Finish in One Step
The Enhance® Finishing System accomplishes the entire process of excess removal, contouring, and finishing simply by varying the pressure. Push harder to remove excess composite, ease it off for final results. In just one step the Enhance® Finishing System delivers a smooth, contoured surface with a natural looking finish. It’s all about pressure. Finish in one step.

Fewer Steps. Less Time. Impressive Results.
A smooth surface finish minimizes the presence of surface irregularities that can lead to plaque retention, staining, gingival irritation, recurrent caries, and tactile perception by the patient. Therefore, clinicians can potentially increase the longevity of their Class II restorations with proper finishing technique.1
After achieving a natural looking finish with Enhance, create a high-end luster with the Enhance PoGo diamond polishing system.

FAQs
Proper finishing and polishing is important for several reasons, such as:
- It ensures the oral health and longevity of restorations. A smooth surface reduces the likelihood of adhesion, which means plaque is less likely to accumulate on a polished surface. This leads to healthier, long-lasting restorations.
- A smooth tooth surface minimizes gingival irritation and surface discoloration. A polished tooth is more biologically compatible with the gingival tissue, so the health of the gingival tissue is maintained.
- Proper contouring, finishing, and polishing will heighten the marginal integrity of the restoration.
- Clinicians can protentially increase the longevity of their Class II restorations with proper finishing technique.
- Finishing and polishing enhances patient comfort and satisfaction, and patients greatly appreciate the natural beauty and health benefits realized from a properly polished restoration.
A smooth composite surface is more plaque and stain resistant, and is a necessary step to achieving composite longevity and patient satisfaction. Surface roughness testing proves that the composite surface is smoother when Enhance Finishers are used after gross contouring with a bur. And it achieves both intermediate and final finishing in a single step - the pressure applied controls the aggressiveness: more pressure for an aggressive initial finish; less pressure to smooth the surface. As pressure is applied, abrasive particles disengage from the Enhance cup, disc, or point to effectively buff the surface of the restoration. The result is a smooth, contoured surface in less steps.
