Objective: The purpose of resin polish is to produce a restored surface that is similar to that of enamel. The objective of this study was to analyze thepolishing effect of three systems in terms of the comparative roughness or glossiness achieved with nanoceramic composite resin.Methods: Forty samples of nanoceramic composite resin were divided into four groups as follows: Group 1 was the control group, whichinvolved polymerization using Mylar strips; Group 2 involved a one-step polishing method; Group 3 involved a two-step method; and Group4 involved a four-step method. After performing these methods, the comparative roughness and glossiness of the resulting surfaces weremeasured.Results: Group 4 generated the lowest roughness value, with an almost equal value to that of the control group, which was followed by Group 3 andGroup 2. The best surface in terms of glossiness was achieved in Group 4.Conclusion: The polishing system involving the four-step method generated the lowest roughness value and the highest surface glossiness value.
