Abstract
Agreat deal of clinical evidence and reporteddata suggest that the burs used to reduceinterproximal enamel create furrows and scratchesthat can lead to carious lesions, periodontaldisease, and oversensitivity to extreme temperatures. 1Studies conducted on fragments of intraoralenamel have shown that the size and particularlythe depth of these furrows can have a significanteffect on remineralization and thus onthe formation of demineralizing lesions. 2Themore numerous and deep the lesions, the higherthe risk that they will be carious.The present study was intended to assesssurface changes in enamel caused by treatmentwith various stripping and finishing techniques.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
