Thickness of disc
All specimens
Profilometer Calibration
Base for evaluation roughness
3 parallel line in central of
disc for measurement
Make a notch on discs and
mark line on cylinder to
repeat position
Calibration after each
polishing step
Shofu kit
Surface adjustement using diamond bur
to simulate the chairside adjustment
procedures
Dura-white
Ceramiste standard
Ceramiste ultra I
Ceramiste Ultra II
Diamond paste stage with
ceramiste ultra II cups
Glazed surface (shine)
Unglazed surface after using
diamond bur (dull)
Ultrasonics cleaner for 5 mins after each step
Evaluation roughness by
measurement studio software
Microscope evaluation
Coating specimens before
examination under
microscope
Inside microscope
Tomography for glazed
surface
Start the next with durawhite bur with low speed hand-
piece
and The steps are repeated (ultrasonics cleaner and
profilometer evaluation)
Last step using ceramiste
cups with diamond paste
All measurements are taken
manually. Take 2 readings
from each line to have 6
readings for one sample.
